Chapter 145

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

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

Aiding tasted it and thought it was OK.

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

"I made a lot of new recipes, including tomatoes, dolphin bones, and spicy Which would you like to eat? "

"Are you going to start your own business? But why is your store so unprofessional? " Aiding looked next door. All kinds of seats were on the sidewalk.

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

"No one likes it? I think it's OK! " Aiding took a sip of the soup. He thought it was very good.

"Well, I don't know Maybe my father has more regular customers. " Xia Yueyue drags her chin and is very distressed.

It's more diversified than my father's, but I can't compare with my father. It's strange

And 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 is ready to retire. He only helps a little occasionally. The common people who have been engaged in physical 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 recipes, the business is as hot as before. Regular 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 some other reason Well, I can't help it. Anyway, the best way to do business is to stay the same. " Xia Yueyue shakes her head, slightly depressed.

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

"Well The location must be chosen. " Said aiding. He has a slight smile, this is the summer moon he knows.

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

"No problem, of course."

……

The third year.

Xia Yueyue opened a new chain store. The location is very good and the flow is very large.

What's more, she uses her father's old formula.

But looking at the empty storefront, it is clear that she failed again.

All the old shops around are full, only her ramen shop is not visited by many people.

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

After repeated failures, Xia Yueyue has lost the momentum of being the "Ramen Queen". At this time, she has been wandering in the society for three years, no longer as green as before.

Aiding sighed. The little money he invested was nothing to him at all. However, Xia Yueyue still did not find the reason for her failure.

The fourth year

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

"I'm sorry, Edin. It's a great loss. " Xia Yueyue said with a bitter smile.

Four years of time has left frost on her face. It's too hard for her. She has to go to someone to make soup at six in the morning and close the shop at eleven or twelve in the evening. She can take one day off a week at most, and don't think about holidays. Although the income is OK, it's just ok

But what can we do?

The fifth year

Xia Yueyue is still making 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, aiding is already a real sociologist.

His footprints are all over the planets of the solar system, and he has a deep understanding of the culture rooted in the deeper parts of the planets. Many star domains are different, but they have something in common.

Over the years, aiding has seen a lot of people and things, with wrinkles 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.

Ramen shop business is still hot, he gently sighed, "summer moon, a bowl of beef Ramen it!"

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

She was at the table, her eyes bent over aiding.The passage of time, as if no change, and as if changed a lot.

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

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

"It's wonderful to dream of such things..."

"Really..."

"It's far away..."

……

"Friends of earth age and golden sun, can you understand this kind of stability rooted in the whole society?"

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

"The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is not too big, but it is very difficult to make money. Of the 1000 entrepreneurs, only one is lucky enough to survive. "

“…… The chairman's son is still the chairman, the lawyer's son is still the lawyer, the doctor's daughter is still working as a doctor, and the ramen shop's daughter is still making Ramen There is little communication between the upper, middle and lower levels. "

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

"I'm the only one who's free by nature to be able to do what I want."

In fact, such a world is not necessarily bad.

In a society where the gap between the rich and the poor is large but the mobility is strong, or in a society where the gap between the rich and the poor is small but the mobility is not strong, which one would you choose if you were an ordinary person?

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

The former gives ambitious people hope, but the latter is a good place for ordinary people, at least means the stability of the family, not to be down on the street.

If you make enough money, you can be free once in a while It's a good life.

In other words, most people in the society have accepted their own mediocrity. The environment of the whole world and the culture rooted in the depth of civilization have instilled such thoughts into 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 there is no need for more innovation. Mediocre people can also have a good life. As long as they inherit their parents' posts, they will have a happy life.

In addition, the channels for upward promotion are too narrow. As the main body of class leapfrogging, young people's awareness of leapfrogging is increasingly low, falling into the sequelae of "effort sickness".

The benefits of struggle are too small.

As for life span, 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, the lower class can live two or three hundred years, so it seems that it's no big deal Isn't it natural for rich people to live longer? It's going to die anyway. If we can accept this, there will not be so many big and small contradictions.
