According to the Qianjiang Evening News Chao News, the "breakfast grandma" quietly left us. This old man, who has been setting up a breakfast stall in Huangtankou Township, Qujiang District, Zhejiang Province for 27 years, insisted on 5 dimes for breakfast and never increased the price. On December 18, 90-year-old "breakfast grandma" passed away.

"Loss" sells breakfast for 27 years without increasing in price.
Each item sells for only 5 cents.
In Huangtankou Village, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, some people may not know the name "Mao Shihua", but when it comes to "breakfast grandma", everyone's face will unconsciously smile.
In 1991, in order to provide a hot breakfast for the children who came from the mountainous areas and rushed to school early in the morning, Mao Shihua prepared a pedal tricycle, two tables, three frying pans, three aluminum pots, four coal stoves, and a few plastic stools, and started her own breakfast business.
After many years, Mao Shihua can still recall the situation on the first day of selling breakfast, she said: "I felt a little embarrassed and nervous about selling breakfast for the first time, and I was worried that the students would not like it. To Mao's surprise, the students loved the breakfast they made, and the breakfast was sold out quickly, which gave her the confidence to keep going. Even Mao Shihua himself didn't expect that this career would be 27 years.
The students are pitiful, especially the children in the mountains, they don't have much money, so I don't raise the price. "Five cents for a zongzi, five cents for a glutinous rice cake, five cents for a bowl of soy milk, ......In the past 27 years, prices have increased several times, but the price of Mao's breakfast has never increased. "Those students want to build the country in the future, so that they can eat a little more, be better in health, and study better. ”
Breakfast grandma's "special breakfast cart out of the stall." *: Chao News.
Although Mao Shihua's breakfast is only sold for five cents, she has always been very generous in terms of materials, the soy milk is freshly ground and cooked on the same day, and the meat filling of glutinous rice cake is also really fresh. For so many years, Mao Shihua not only did not make money selling breakfast, but also had to put his monthly pension of more than 1,000 yuan into it. In the eyes of others, this is a "loss-making business", but Mao Shihua is getting more and more energetic, she doesn't care about losses, and she has never calculated these, in her eyes, these children are like her grandsons and granddaughters.
Every morning at one or two o'clock, Mao Shihua's hut is lit up, and then the sound of the mill turning and the smoke curls up. For nearly 30 years, she got up at this time, grinded soybean milk in the dim light, made kueh, and pedaled to the gate of Huangtankou Primary School to set up a coal stove and pot. After a trip to the stall, she worked hard for more than 6 hours, making a net profit of more than 30 yuan, and also posted 3 or 400 yuan upside down every month, doing what everyone calls a "loss-making transaction".
However, Mao Shihua, who is so generous to the children's breakfast, is extremely stingy with herself, and for so many years, Mao Shihua has hardly bought new things for herself, and she is reluctant to buy a new one when her clothes are torn. "It doesn't matter if the clothes are met, my money will make the students eat better. Mao Shihua once said in an interview.
A lot of people say I'm stupid, I'm not stupid."
I didn't save any money, and my old man had a bit of a pension ......My pension was also posted. Every time she is interviewed by **, Mao Shihua always says, "Many people say I'm stupid, I'm not stupid, I just don't rely on this to live." These children live in the mountains, and their parents don't have a lot of money, so I want them to have enough to eat. So no price increases. ”
Mao Shihua's experience has been broadcast by many ** successively, and has been awarded honorary titles such as "the most beautiful Quzhou person", "Zhejiang Province moral model", "the most beautiful Chinese integrity star", and won the nomination award of "Zhejiang Pride", "China Good Man" and "National Moral Model".
Facing the camera and talking about what she did, she once looked resolute and teary-eyed. "I want to keep going until I'm 90 years old, until I can't do it!”
But the years are not forgiving. Since 2018, Mao Shihua's health has deteriorated, and the children's "breakfast grandma" has missed the appointment for the first time for a long time. But even in her hospital bed, she still thinks about setting up a stall.
Under the Douyin ** of "Breakfast Grandma is gone" posted by Mao Shihua's grandson-in-law, such messages emerge endlessly: "I have been to grandma's house, and she is really kind." "When the funeral is out, I want to give it a ride. "Grandma has gone all the way, you are the pride of Quzhou people. ”
Breakfast grandma", go all the way!
