Fried chicken, hot dry noodles, fried skewers, cauldron dishes, rock sugarcane pear water, the snack bars on this street have said: "Let the big white pick to eat." ”
Since January 5, Zhengzhou has carried out several rounds of nucleic acid testing for all employees. Medical staff from all over the province marched backwards to support Zhengzhou.
In the cold weather, one by one, "Big White" and volunteer "Little Red" stuck to the front line, giving up their small homes for everyone's sake. They deserve everyone's respect.
However, just as they charged forward to protect the health of the city's residents, many citizens were also silently giving them care and warmth.
No, in several rounds of nucleic acid testing some time ago, a number of merchants along Yingcai Street near Bei university town in Huiji District, Zhengzhou City, have scrambled to rush, invariably, spontaneously sent them hot meals and hot soups and hot drinks.
And this send is the persistence of more than ten consecutive days.
○ Zhang Qing, who sent a large pot of vegetables and hot drinks: When making nucleic acid, it feels very cold, and I want them to eat hot rice
White tube, do sour acid.
The 2022 round of the epidemic is not over yet.
Early in the morning of January 5, heavy snow had just passed. Zhengzhou urgently issued Circular No. 3: the city carried out nucleic acid testing for all employees. In the 9 districts of the city, including Huiji District, the testing time is 10:00-20:00.
The first round of nucleic acids, Zhang Qing also participated.
"It had just snowed heavily and it felt cold when I did the nucleic acid. Not to mention the medical staff and volunteers who have been on the spot. Zhang Qing said that when he returned, he began to think about how to make these people who served everyone eat a hot meal.
Zhang Qing opened a large copper pot shabu-shabu mutton shop near the intersection of Binhe Road and Wenhua Road in Zhengzhou's Huiji District. At the entrance of the first floor of his store, about ten square meters, he also specially supported a large cauldron, specializing in stewed seeds, cauldron vegetables and steamed buns.
He said these were ready-made, hot meals. There happened to be a fruit shop next to their store, so he asked the staff to buy sugar cane and pears, boil them into water, and send them to the medical staff and volunteers at the three nucleic acid testing points nearest to their store.
"This water can quench thirst and warm hands." Zhang Qing said.
With so many rounds of nucleic acid testing, Zhang Qing, together with his employees, has been doing what he thinks he can.
Until January 18, nucleic acid testing in Huiji District had been suspended for two days. And he gave more than 30 love meals to those front-line medical workers who went to test for special groups of people.
Zhang Qing's loving action is more than this time.
As early as the epidemic in Zhengzhou in 2019, he also opened a hotel on Guoji Road. At that time, dine-in was also suspended.
After suspending business, he wondered, what can he do for Zhengzhou's fight against the epidemic?
That year, he worked with employees every day, more than four o'clock in the morning, to boil eight treasure porridge for front-line medical workers. More than 200 servings a day, has been insisting for more than 2 months.
After that time, what surprised and surprised Zhang Qing was that more people went to their shop to eat, and the business was better.
Zhang Qing sighed, "Before doing things, you must first learn to be a person. ”
And the same experience, another time.
In late December 2021, when the store first opened, he invited 100 sanitation workers to eat for free.
Afterwards, ben felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but he won the sanitation worker to come to charge the card and pay for the meal.
Zhang Qing, 41 years old, has been in business for 15 years.
In recent years, he often went to other places to study and seek the scriptures, and what he felt most deeply was the "seed theory", that is, "to be a good person." ”
Over the years, he has been operating around this philosophy.
He often tells his employees, "Treat everyone with care." ”
Zhang Qing's shabu mutton shop now donates 1 yuan to the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation for every pot sold.
"It feels very grounded and rewarding to do so." Zhang Qing said.

○ Wang Shasha, who sent fried chicken: I was distressed when I passed the testing point
At more than 6 p.m. on January 18, when a reporter from Dahe News contacted Dong Weijie, it was his lover Wang Shasha who answered the phone.
"He's busy over there." She said.
Wang Shasha and Dong Weijie opened a fried chicken shop on Yingcai Street near Bei University Town in Zhengzhou's Huiji District.
After several rounds of nucleic acid testing, one of the testing points in Huiji District is 100 meters away from their store.
On January 5, during the first round of nucleic acids in Zhengzhou, Wang Shasha passed through the nucleic acid testing point.
"I remember very well, it was cold that day." Wang Shasha said that she was particularly distressed to see the medical staff sticking to the scene, and when she returned, she consulted with her lover, "Let's bring them some lunch." It's about driving a train. ”
It just so happens that her lover has this idea. The couple hit it off.
As a result, Zhengzhou's multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing, each lunch, the couple sent love meals to nearby doctors and volunteers: fried chicken, hot porridge, braised noodles, rice.
"They're all just out of the pot, so they're packed up and sent to them." Hot. Wang Shasha said that every time she sent it over, "they were still very embarrassed and kept thanking." This actually embarrassed me. I was very touched by that scene. ”
Speaking of the reason for doing this, she said that she was a post-90s. She and her lover have been running this fried chicken shop for more than two months. It was her lover's brother who invested and helped open it, and she was very grateful.
"I am very grateful. Man, hold a grateful heart. Wang Shasha said that they have another store next to another university town, because the customers are all college students, "are children, it is not easy to go out, we will use fresh ingredients, let them eat at ease." In the winter, we also send some free porridge and soup to customers who come to the store. ”

○ Employees who send chutney and kebabs: "They all have family children, compared to them, we are not worth mentioning"
At 7 p.m. on the 18th, the reporter of Dahe Daily got in touch with another caring merchant in Beida University Town, Huiji District, Zhengzhou City.
Just near the university town, this business specializes in kebabs and chutneys. Referring to this love action, Wang Ruyi, the head of the company owned by the store, was very excited.
"The first few times, the staff sent it, I don't know yet. When I found out, I was very happy and encouraged them to keep sending it. He said that one of the nucleic acid testing points in Huiji District is opposite their store, and employees see that the medical staff and volunteers at the testing point are busy for a day, so cold days, "The employees want to cook some sour and spicy powder so that they can be warm and warm." ”
Subsequently, every day after the door opened at 10:00 a.m., every time all the staff were nucleic acid, their clerks quickly fried some skewers (the best beef and mutton) and boiled some chutney powder for them to send over.
"Doing that, insignificant. The nucleic acid testers and volunteers who have been on the front line are people with families and children, who can't take care of their families for everyone. It really makes people feel a kind of heartfelt feeling. Compared to them, we are not worth mentioning. Wang Ruyi, head of the company to which the store belongs, said.

○ Their "obscurity" makes people's hearts warm
Wu Sen, a staff member of the Yingbin Road Office in Huiji District, Zhengzhou City, said that according to his understanding, these merchants have always sent, as long as they do nucleic acid. In addition, there are some sporadic merchants who also send it.
In this regard, Shen Jingchen, secretary of the Yingcai Community in Huiji District, Zhengzhou City, said that in addition to the above-mentioned caring business outdoors, there are also water for the nucleic acid testing site.
"These spontaneous actions make people's hearts warm." He said that these rounds of nucleic acid, each time, these merchants will contact in advance to understand the number of medical staff and volunteers on site, and provide meals on demand. For example, some send fried chicken, they will leave it for medical staff to eat, and some send fried skewers, which will be divided up and given to volunteers to eat. The pear water and sugarcane water sent by the big copper pot were very warm for everyone to drink. In fact, the office is equipped with working meals for each testing point, but the lunch sent by these merchants not only adds an extra side dish to the front-line personnel, the meal is more hearty, and it is not wasted.
"They are all doing things in obscurity to fight the epidemic, and we hope to promote this obscurity." Shen Jingchen said.

○ Journalist's Note
When interviewing this group of caring merchants, at first glance, they were all on Yingcai Street near Bei university town in Huiji District. The merchants are not too far apart.
I thought, will they be an organized, unified act of love? Or, this family has seen the practice of that family and followed suit?
During the interview, the reporter deliberately asked them this question, or, from some details, to see if they have unified planning and organization?
No! The answer is no.
Each of them interviewed, their simple words, their sincere expressions, denied the paranoia conjecture of the profession of journalists.
As Wang Sasha of the fried chicken shop said, she just passed by with compassion and moved her true feelings. I just want to hold a grateful heart. Because her brother helped them, she always thought of gratitude in her heart. When you say this sentence, it is not at all like a pre-made word, but you can feel her sincerity and kindness.
As Zhang Qing of the big copper pot said, after so many years, he realized a truth, "Be a good person." ”
Until 9 p.m. on the 18th, when the reporter interviewed the secretary of the community Shen, he was still seeking to verify this problem.
He explicitly told reporters that these merchants, who do not know each other, "are all a spontaneous act." ”
At the end of the interview, the reporter was touched by this group of people.
What moved was not what they sent to the medical staff and volunteers and how much they sent. Rather, the kind of "empathy" they have when they see medical staff and volunteers, and when they are cold, they think that they may be colder; that kind of people and volunteers think of whose children they are, whose parents, whose wives or husbands they are.
So they listened to their hearts and did what they wanted to do.
