This 120 -square -meter public kitchen has a strange air humidity, smell, and harmonious atmosphere.

The people who came with heavy minds, they focused on making a full meal for parents, partners or children in the sickness, and their hearts seemed to be on their hands, frying and fried, and pots and bowls. The pista collision was temporarily eliminated.

The kitchen is located near the Henan Cancer Hospital. Because the coming is the family members of the patient, people are used to call it "anti -cancer kitchen". Elephant News was reported in September 2020 with the title of "The World" in anti -cancer kitchen.

July 2nd is the day when the "anti -cancer kitchen" moved to the second anniversary of the new site. The owner of the kitchen reviewed the past and the future, saying that "it is still stretched, but it will not give up."

"He is very happy to eat more meals," he is very happy. "

At noon on July 1st, it was the peak period for cooking. "Anti -cancer kitchen" is always full of fireworks.

In the meal room, as people set up a knife, vegetables and fresh meat danced on the chopping board; and in the cooking area, dozens of large pots were lined up for everyone or stir -fried or stewed soup. They rarely talked with each other and focused on things in hand.

Master Guo of his hometown Shangqiu was anxious to "deal with" the round eggplant in the preparation room. He worked in a foreign time all year round and did not work in cooking. This time, he began to learn to cook because of taking care of his wife with leukemia. In order to save money and eat meals, he found the "anti -cancer kitchen" by the patient. On the morning of July 1st, Master Guo took his wife for a series of inspections. At first glance, he was almost 12 o'clock. He hurriedly bought two eggplant and noodles and was ready to make a fried eggplant noodles. However, the more anxious, the more he couldn't do it. The eggplant was disobedient in his own hands. A enthusiastic sister next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and smiled and helped to cut it. Master Guo thanked him in a row.

In the kung fu of fried eggplant, Master Guo opened the box. He said that his wife was sick for half a year. In the past six months, he was specially accompanied, and the work outside was also stranded. There were two children in the family to go to school, so the couple could save it outside. "It's important to optimistic about the disease." Master Guo was looking forward to, "I am waiting for her (wife) to make me braised pork ribs."

Also in the preparation area, a father in his hometown was buried in chopping meat. "I bought five dollars of fatty, chopped it a little bit, and the child had been digested well." Since his son detects the illness, he and his wife have been inseparable. Every time his son came to Zhengzhou for inspection, the life of the two was upside down. In the days when my son was waiting for surgery, it was the only thing that dad felt that he could do. "I feel that I have to pay attention to rest, pay attention to nutrition, and feel that eating and drinking can be strong."

In the dishwashing area, the girl Xiao Li repeatedly washed a pot of corn. Under the fresh corn ears, the corn grains were full. "Cook it for Dad." Xiao Li didn't stop the movement in his hand, saying that Dad was hospitalized for many days, and always thought about the crops of his hometown, so she transferred a few streets to buy fresh corn sold by farmers into the city and let her dad taste it. Taste the taste of the old family. In addition to cooking corn, Xiao Li also prepared a stewed melon pork ribs soup for his father, and made three more rice, enough to eat a family of three. "My dad likes the meal I make. He speaks unfavorablely. I will write the name of the dish to him. He nodded when he wanted to eat." Xiao Li's words were relieved. very happy."

Little kitchen, big world

The daily full of fireworks in shared kitchen.

Generally, at about ten o'clock, customers will come to the door with the dishes. Find a stove in light cars, wash and cut, stir -fry or stew a soup, or cook the simplest tomato egg noodles.

Follow the small door. On the left are the grain and oil areas, rice, and checkout areas. On the right is a vegetable area and meat area. Different from the places to sell food elsewhere, customers who come here can buy a meal. For example, pick a tomato and two eggs, and you can make a large pot of tomato egg noodles; buy a few dollars of fresh meat, a handful of beans can be made of bean -fried meat; Pot, pans, green onion ginger and garlic, etc. are available for free kitchen. Many times, the kitchen will also give away dumplings, eight treasure porridge, rice, noodles, etc. donated from lovers from time to time. Customers only need to fry a dish at 5 yuan, and pay for a pot of processing for a pot of stewed a pot of soup for 10 yuan, and they can make a light and nutritious meal for their loved ones. Therefore, for ordinary people with cancer patients with cancer, a penny can't wait to become two halves, the kitchen is a warm existence.

Because customers often cook, everyone's mode of getting along is not like customers and shopkeepers, but friends. For example, customers can call their names directly, calling Wei Xingjiang, Wang Jianjian, and Zhang Guangbing to help make fish, shrimp, or help a little. In the process of giving everyone a Shengmi Sheng, the three will also take the initiative to inquire about the condition of the customer's family.

"What meal today?" At noon on July 1, Wei Xingjiang, one of the partners, greeted a customer familiar with it. The other party put the lunch box, "Stew a soup, the family is good." Wei Xingjiang asked again, "(Disease) is much better?" Every day like this, every day in the kitchen is staged. Wei Xingjiang revealed that some customers hadn't come for a long time, and he knew that the treatment was over to go home to rest after a while. After a while, he understood that the other party continued to seek medical treatment, and some customers had never seen it anymore -maybe healed, maybe people may be recovered, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be cured, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be cured, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be cured, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be cured, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed, maybe people may be healed. No longer there. The kitchen inadvertently witnessed these major things about life and death.

"Some customers are optimistic about their families, and they will say it. This is our happiest thing." Wei Xingjiang said that it has been too tired to move to the new site for two years. There are many people who are worried ", but these precious feelings also bring them motivation.

Difficulties are still there, but I will persist

In a blink of an eye, it has been two years since the kitchen has moved to the new site. July 2nd is the two anniversary. In the past two years, the kitchen has experienced a test of heavy rain and multiple rounds of epidemic, and the customer's explosion to the passenger flow has decreased ... stubborn survival. When it comes to changes in the past two years, the three partners are booing.

"It's still difficult. But it will persist." Wang Zhan, one of the partners, said that the cost of cooking soup for kitchen has not changed, but it has become a love platform. Many enthusiastic people will use the kitchen to donate to patients, rice noodles, oil, clothing, clothing, clothing, clothing, clothing It is the most.

Wei Xingjiang said that he had calculated a account. The kitchen now "costs more than 40,000 yuan per month, excluding artificially", and has little profit. "If it wasn't for the rice noodle oil sent by a caring person, it would be flat."

Although profitable, the three partners have the idea of ​​opening a branch to help more people.

They used to inspect the store near other hospitals in Zhengzhou. "The rent and the transfer fee cost hundreds of thousands", and the cost was too high. The dream of opening a new store was temporarily stranded. However, this idea did not go out.

One of the partners Wang Jianjian revealed that they used the kitchen as a lifelong career to operate. In the future, they not only want to open them in the province, as long as there is an appropriate opportunity, it is not necessary to open it outside the province. "We can go to see the store."

Why insist on doing a kitchen?

It can be said that everyone who comes to the "anti -cancer kitchen" with heavy minds. They focus on the parents, partners or children in the sick, focusing on making a feasting meal, and their hearts seem to be on their hands and falls. , Frying and frying, the collision of pots and pans was temporarily eliminated.

And the ups and downs of these people's hearts, the three partners Wang Jianjian, Wei Xingjiang, and Zhang Guangbing all knew very well.

Wang Jianjian sold fried balls and fish in the vegetable market. In 2014, a family member of the disease went to his booth and proposed to borrow his pot to help his relatives with a bowl of soup noodles. Later, he simply set up eight large pots. Business. Wei Xingjiang's wife found out that she had lymphoma. When she came to Zhengzhou to seek medical treatment, she learned about the work of adding meals. Later, the daughter -in -law recovered and did this with him. Another partner Zhang Guangbing, who once took his father, came to Zhengzhou from his hometown of Luohe to see a doctor and hospitalized. In this way, the three partners came together for different opportunities. After demolition in the vegetable market, 120 square meters of shops under the hospital near the hospital in 2020, named "shared kitchen".

(One of the partners Zhang Guangbing is busy)

On July 1, one of the partners Zhang Guangbing updated the circle of friends:

"Time is fast. In a blink of an eye, our Zhengzhou anti -cancer sharing kitchen will be eight years old tomorrow; the time is very slow. We move to the new site for the second anniversary tomorrow. Because we have experienced many twists and turns in the past two years, we feel that it is very slow to go slowly. ! ""

"I'm sorry everyone, we are still so tired all the way, we are still in a hurry, still stretched, and even want to engage in anniversary love activities."

However, Zhang Guangbing finally said: "Although we have a feathers, we have not given up, and we still insist."
