The north wind is bitter and cold. On Taiyuan Road, Weiyang District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, there is a free notice that has been in existence for 3 years posted on the door of a restaurant. The notice said that people in distress can come in and order "No. 6 meal" to enjoy a hot spicy soup and white Ji bun** for free.
"If you are in trouble, just say, 'Have a meal No. 6.'"
A bowl of spicy soup and a white Ji bun, this is the "No. 6 meal" of a restaurant on Taiyuan Road in Xi'an, Shaanxi, and it is also the "code" set up by the restaurant manager Xiong Wencheng for some customers. "If you have a problem, just say, 'Let's have a meal No. 6,' and we'll serve them directly. ”
Three years ago, Xiong Wencheng wrote on the sign hanging in front of the store:
If you encounter difficulties in Xi'an and have no income, you can just enter the store and tell the staff to have a No. 6 meal, and you can go directly after eating, you don't have to be polite. Because Xi'an is a warm and loving city, I also hope that when you have the ability in the future, remember to help those in need around you and pass on this warmth.
Three years have passed, and Xiong Wencheng's commitment has never changed. Hu spicy soup with white Ji bun, the simplest meal has become a warm "code", warming those who are at a low point in life.
Consumers who came to the store said that the store's "No. 6 meal" not only allowed people in distress to enjoy a free meal, but also made people feel the care and respect of the store. It not only protects the self-esteem of the individual, but also provides positive energy.
Free breakfast has been provided to sanitation workers for many years
In addition to the "No. 6 meal", there is also a sign on the exterior wall of this restaurant that reads: Free breakfast, from 6:50 to 7:30 in the morning.
Since 2015, the restaurant has provided free breakfast to nearby sanitation workers every morning, and the four branches have been implemented without interruption.
From the "No. 6 meal" to the free breakfast, a customer only made a rough calculation, and the figure he came up with made him sigh again and again: "A bowl of spicy soup is 8 yuan, even if it costs 160 yuan for 20 people, it will be a lot of money for a month or a year." It's not easy for a restaurant to last like this for years. ”
Many restaurants in Xi'an offer similar free meals
A cake and a soup may seem insignificant, but let the power of warmth be silently transmitted in the city. Nowadays, many restaurants in Xi'an have also launched similar free meals, some are called "No. 1 meal", and some directly post signs that "sanitation workers are free, students are half price".
Seeing the actions of these fellow travelers, the store manager Xiong Wencheng said happily that everyone will encounter a low point in life, and once met someone who dragged you in the mud, you have to remember when you get out of the mud, you can also gently reach out to help someone and warm your heart.
We have been helped by others in times of difficulty, so in our current capacity, we also need to help those who can help. Xiong Wencheng said.
