Since ancient times, agriculture has been established, and "the people take food as the sky". Elderly farmers who have been working long hours in the fields and kitchens have long been exhausted, and the problem of "three meals a day" has been a headache for them. Lao Wang and Lao Li of Li Village are both 74 years old. At meal time, they sighed and sharpened their knives and wiped the cutting board, and were busy preparing vegetables, lighting fires, and tinkering with oil pots.
Lao Wang's waist has been bent like a hook all year round, and Lao Li is even more blind, so he has to be careful every time he gets out of the pot. But they just couldn't spare the money to hire a chef. Early in the morning, Li Village suddenly turned on the lights and fluttered a huge banner of "Love Canteen". It turned out that the relief center decided to set up a public canteen in the whole village, with only 3-5 yuan per meal, in order to solve the problem of eating for the villagers. "Oh my God, we can finally free our own kitchen!Lao Wang trembled with joy, and Lao Li was so excited that he burst into tears. The two old men came to the "love canteen" at the entrance of the village, and the small table was already full of local dishes with all colors and flavors - steamed lilies, braised pork pieces, and wild vegetable tofu soup.
Lao Li reverently folded his hands in thanksgiving, while Lao Wang was busy praising the young waiter. Looking at the hungry appearance of the old people, the waiter thoughtfully added food and vegetables, and always had a warm smile on his face. This meal made Lao Wang and Lao Li extremely satisfied and happy, they no longer have to worry about three meals day after day, the restaurant will always welcome them here!Xiaofeng of Li Village is a disabled girl who has difficulty moving since she was a child, and everyone in the village is worried that she will not be able to make a living in the future. After the opening of "One Village, One Restaurant", the owner of the restaurant enthusiastically extended an olive branch to Xiaofeng, expressing his willingness to provide her with a job as a cleaner. When she heard the good news, Xiaofeng was so happy that she burst into tears!She has always hoped to find a job to reduce the burden on her family and contribute to society. When she came to the restaurant for the first time with a cane, the onlookers were proud and happy for her.
On the first day of work, Xiaofeng was very busy, and there were diners coming and going. Several tables need to be pushed and mopped, and water is wiped clean, and Xiaofeng tries her best to keep the environment clean and tidy. Despite the hectic hospitality, she whispered to each diner about the menu. Just when Xiaofeng was so busy that her hands and feet were trembling, the boss hurriedly came over to support her and praised her for working hard and doing a good job. This job not only gave Xiaofeng a monthly income, but also made her feel that she was needed by this society and accepted by everyone in the village. She no longer has to worry about not being able to support herself in the future, and her life is rejuvenated by this "one village, one restaurant"!The village committee held a symposium to allow the villagers to discuss the effect and significance of "one village, one restaurant".
The village chief first said that the establishment of the restaurant has greatly solved the problem of eating for the elderly villagers, they no longer need to cook by themselves, they can eat fresh and hygienic meals for only a few yuan, and the quality of life of the elderly has been greatly improved. In addition, the village chief noted that the restaurant also creates employment opportunities for vulnerable groups such as women with disabilities. For example, Xiaofeng is a good example, she has been doing nothing at home, and now she not only has income to help the family, but also gets spiritual comfort, which is very beneficial to her. After hearing this, the villagers expressed their approval and talked loudly, saying that after the completion of the restaurant, their lives have become more convenient, and the appearance of the village has also been renewed. This has not only increased the number of jobs in the countryside, but also led to the development of industries around the village, such as tofu factories and vegetable bases, which have flourished due to the demand for restaurants. The village chief excitedly announced that they will fully support the operation of the restaurant, and actively strive for the financial support of the higher departments to do this livelihood project better, and the life of the people in the village will definitely become better day by day!
