Insist on 5 dimes breakfast without increasing the price
Affectionately called"Breakfast grandma".
Not long ago, December 18th.
90-year-old "breakfast grandma" passed away
Quietly left us.
"Selling breakfast at a loss" for 27 years.
No price increase, only 5 cents per item
In Huangtankou Village, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province.
There may be people who don't know.
Mao Shihua".
But when it comes to "breakfast grandma".
Everyone's face.
will unconsciously smile.
In 1991,For those children who come from the mountains and make their way to school early in the morning, they can have a hot breakfastMao Shihua prepared a pedal tricycle, two tables, three frying pans, three aluminum pots, four coal stoves, and several plastic stools to start her breakfast business.
After many years, Mao Shihua can still recall the situation when she sold breakfast on the first day, she said:"I felt a little embarrassed and nervous about selling breakfast for the first time, and I was worried that the students wouldn't 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.
Breakfast grandma's "special breakfast cart out of the stall."
The students are pitiful.
Especially the kids in the mountains.
They don't have a lot of money.
So I don't raise the price".
That's it. Five cents a dumpling
Five cents a glutinous rice cake
Five cents for a bowl of soy milk
In 27 years, prices have increased several times
But Mao Shihua's breakfast has never increased in price
Those students will build a country in the future, and it would be nice if they could be fed, in better health, and better in reading. ”
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 energeticShe didn't care about the profits, and she never counted them, and in her eyes, these children were like her own grandchildren and granddaughters.
Every morning at one or two o'clock.
Maoshihua's hut is lit up.
Then there was the sound of a millstone turning.
Smoke wafted 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. A trip to the stall, she worked hard for more than 6 hoursmade 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 I am interviewed by **, Mao Shihua always says this,"A lot of people say I'm stupid, I'm not stupid, I just don't live on this. 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 one after another by many **He has been awarded honorary titles such as "The Most Beautiful Quzhou People", "Zhejiang Moral Model" and "The Most Beautiful Chinese Integrity Star", and won the nomination awards of "Zhejiang Pride", "China Good People" 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 deterioratedFor the first time, the children's "breakfast grandma" missed an appointment for a long time. But even in her hospital bed, she still thinks about setting up a stall.
One was posted by Mao Shihua's grandson-in-law.

Many netizens expressed their condolences.
