Chapter 150

Aiding was surprised to find that this originally small ramen shop was divided into two adjacent shops, one owned by Xia Yueyue's father and the other by herself.

"Come and try my new recipe!" Xia Yueyue stood at the door of the store and greeted warmly.

Eddin tasted it and thought it tasted OK.

Looking up at Xia Yueyue, the girl is still so energetic, as lively and lovely as before.

"I've made a lot of new recipes, including tomatoes, dolphin bones and spicy... Which one do you want?"

"Are you going to start your own business? But why do you have so little business in this store? " Eddin looked next door. All kinds of seats were paved on the sidewalk.

Looking here again, it seems that he is the only customer.

"Nobody likes it? I think it's OK! " Eddin took a sip of soup. He thought it was good.

"Alas, I don't know... Maybe my father has more old customers." Xia Yueyue dragged her chin and was very distressed.

Obviously, it's more diversified than my father, but it's strange that I can't compare with my father

Then, the next year

Seeing that the business could not go on, the two shops naturally merged into one.

Xia Yueyue's father is getting older and has begun to prepare for retirement. He only occasionally helps. The civilian class who has been engaged in manual labor for a long time will not live that long.

However, with Xia Yueyue's ability, she can take good care of the store.

Obviously, after abandoning those strange formulas, the business is as hot as before. Old customers are still quite willing to take care of Xia Yueyue's business.

"You gave them up? I think it's delicious. " Aiding didn't understand.

"Maybe it's because I'm tired of eating for a long time, or maybe it's for other reasons... Hey, I can't help it. Anyway, invariance is the best way to do business. " Xia Yueyue shook her head, a little depressed.

Then she said ambitiously, "I've decided to open another store! Otherwise, how can I be the queen of ramen! "

"Well... The location must be selected." Adin charged. He smiled slightly. This is the summer moon he knew.

"Do you want to invest in me?" Her eyes flickered.

"Of course not."

……

The third year.

Xia Yueyue opened a new chain store with good location and great traffic.

Moreover, she used her father's old formula.

But looking at the deserted store, it was obvious that she failed again.

All the old shops around are full, and only her ramen shop is not patronized.

"Why? Eddin, I'm so sorry for wasting your investment. "

After repeated failures, Xia Yueyue no longer has the momentum to be the "Queen of ramen". At this time, she has been wandering in the society for three years and is no longer as green as before.

Eddin sighed. The little money invested was nothing to him at all. However, Xia Yueyue still failed to find the reason for her failure.

The fourth year

The newly invested ramen shop closed down again, and Xia Yueyue obediently took over her father's shop.

"I'm sorry, eddin. It's a great loss to the local people. " Xia Yueyue said with a bitter smile.

Four years have left wind and frost on her face. This business is too hard. People have to start cooking soup at 6 a.m. and close the shop at 11 or 12 p.m. at most one day a week. Don't think about holidays. Although the income is OK, it is only OK

But what can be done?

The fifth year

Xia Yueyue still makes Ramen in her father's shop.

The sixth year

Still staying in her shop for so many years, it's impossible to start a business again.

The seventh year.

Or stay in her shop.

The eighth year, the ninth year

So, fifteen years later

Or stay in her shop.

Thirty years have passed

At this moment, eddin is already a real sociologist.

His footprints are all over the planets of the solar system, and he has an in-depth understanding of the culture rooted deeper in the major planets. Many star regions have their own differences, but they have something in common.

Over the years, eddin has seen a lot of people and things, and wrinkles have grown on his forehead. These wrinkles are not a symbol of aging, but a symbol of growth.

On this day, he quietly returned to the earth to carry out his agreement.

The business of ramen shop is still hot. He sighed gently, "Xia Yueyue, have a bowl of beef Ramen!"

Even if the business is busy, Xia Yueyue still cooks in person, "your ramen."

She was at the table, bending her eyes at eddin.

With the passage of time, there seems to be no change, and it seems to have changed a lot.

"It seems that I realized my dream first." Eddin finished his last mouthful of soup and sighed.

Talking about the past, Xia Yueyue could only smile sadly, "I'm sorry, Mr. eddin, I was too green at that time..."

"It's wonderful to dream of such a thing..."

"Really..."

"It's far away..."

……

"Friends of the earth times and the golden sun, can you understand this steady state rooted in the whole society?"

"This world is no longer suitable for the existence of dreams. Xia Yueyue is not an exception. "

"The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is not too large, but making money has become extremely difficult. Of the 1000 entrepreneurs, only one is lucky to survive. "

"... the chairman's son is still the chairman, the lawyer's son is still a lawyer, the doctor's daughter is still a doctor, and the daughter of the ramen shop is still making Ramen... There is almost no communication between the upper, middle and lower levels."

"Few people can get rid of this fate. As long as they want to break free, failure comes face to face. "

"Only a naturally free person like me can do the job you want."

In fact, such a world is not necessarily bad.

A society with a large gap between the rich and the poor but strong mobility, and a society with a small gap between the rich and the poor but weak mobility, choose one of the two. If you are an ordinary person, which would you choose?

Many people think the former is better. But for ordinary people with ordinary IQ, courage and insight, it may be better to choose the latter.

The former gives hope to ambitious people, but the latter is a good place for ordinary people. At least it means that the family is stable and will not fall into the streets.

If you earn enough money and can be free occasionally... It can be regarded as a good life.

In other words, most people in society have accepted their mediocrity. The environment of the whole world and the culture rooted in the depths of civilization have instilled such ideas in them.

Isn't mediocrity good?

Mediocrity is good. The productivity of the world is high enough. There is no need to develop science and technology and more innovation. Mediocre people can also have a good life. As long as they inherit their parents' posts, they will have no worries about food and clothing all their life and be happy.

In addition, the channel for upward promotion is too narrow. As the main body of class crossing, young people's crossing consciousness is becoming increasingly depressed, falling into the sequelae of "effort disease".

The benefits of struggle are too small.

As for the problem of life, it is no longer a big problem. With technology stagnating, life expectancy has stopped growing.

As for the upper class can live three or four hundred years, and the lower class can live two or three hundred years, it seems no big deal... Isn't it natural for the rich to live longer? I'll die anyway. If we can accept this, there will not be so many contradictions, large and small.
