Chapter 145: No dreams in this age
Aiding was surprised to find that this originally small ramen shop was split into two adjacent shops, one for Xia Yueyue's father and one for her.
"Come and try my new recipe!" Xia Yueyue stood in front of the shop and greeted enthusiastically.
Adin tasted it, and thought it was ok.
Looking up at Xia Yueyue, the girl is still so energetic, as lively and cute as before.
"I made a lot of new recipes, including tomatoes, tonkotsu, and spicy ones ... Which one do you want?"
"Are you planning to start your own business? But why is there no business in your store?" Aiding looked at the next door, and all kinds of seats were on the sidewalk.
He looked here again, as if he were the only customer.
"Doesn't anyone like it? I think it's okay!" Aidin took a sip of soup, and he felt quite delicious.
"Well, I don't know ... maybe my dad has more old customers." Xia Yueyue dragged her chin, very distressed.
Obviously more diversified than his father, it is stranger than his father ...
Then, the following year ...
Seeing that the business could not continue, the two stores naturally merged into one.
Xia Yueyue's father has begun to retire as he gets older, but only occasionally helps. The civilian class, who has long been engaged in manual labor, will never live that long.
However, with the ability of Xia Yueyue, the store can be taken care of very well.
Obviously, after abandoning those weird recipes, the business was as hot as ever. Patrons are still quite willing to take care of Xia Yueyue's business.
"Did you give them up? I think they are delicious." Aiding puzzled.
"Maybe it ’s tiring because of eating for a long time, or maybe other reasons ... Hey, I ca n’t help it. Anyway, it ’s the best way to do business.” Xia Yueyue shook her head, slightly frustrated.
Then she said ambitiously again: "I decided to open another store! How else to be a ramen queen!"
"Uh ... the position must be chosen," Aidin ordered. With a slight smile, this is the Xia Yueyue he knows.
"Do you want to invest in me?" She blinked.
"Of course, no problem."
...
The third year.
Xia Yueyue opened a new chain store in a very good location with a lot of traffic.
Moreover, she used the father's old formula.
But looking at Menkeluoque's store, it was clear that she had failed again.
The surrounding old shops are full, and only her ramen shop is patronized.
"Why? Aiding, I'm really sorry, it wasted your investment."
After repeated failures, Xia Yueyue has lost her momentum as a "Ramen Queen". At this time, she had been in the society for three years, and she was no longer as apathetic as before.
Aiding sighed, the little money invested was nothing to him at all. However, Xia Yueyue still failed to find the cause of the failure.
fourth year……
The newly invested ramen shop closed again, and Xia Yueyue obediently took over his father's shop.
"Sorry, Aiding. It's too bad for the locals." Xia Yueyue said with a grin.
Four years have left wind and frost on her face. This is really hard work. I have to go to work at six in the morning and close the store until 11 or 12 in the evening. I have a maximum of one day off a week. miss you. Although the income is okay, it is only okay ...
But what can I do?
fifth year……
Xia Yueyue still makes ramen in her father's shop.
Sixth year ...
Still staying in her store for so many years, it is impossible to start a business again.
Seventh year.
Still staying in her shop.
Eighth year, ninth year ...
So fifteen years have passed ...
Still staying in her shop.
Thirty years have passed ...
At this moment, Aiding is already a true sociologist.
He has traveled all over the planets of the solar system and has a deep understanding of the cultures that are rooted deeper in the major planets. Many star fields are different, but they have common ground.
Over the years, Aiding has seen many people and encountered many things, and wrinkles have grown on his forehead. These wrinkles are not a symbol of aging, but rather a symbol of growth.
On this day, he quietly returned to earth to execute his promise.
The business of the ramen shop is still hot, and he sighed softly, "Xia Yueyue, come to a bowl of beef ramen!"
Even if business is busy, Xia Yueyue still cooks herself, "Your ramen."
She was at the table, her eyes bent at Aiding.
As time passes, it seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that it has changed a lot.
"Looks like I realized my dream first." Aiding sighed after taking the last soup.
Talking about this past, Xia Yueyue only smiled sadly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Aiding, I was too green at that time ..."
"It's wonderful to dream of something like this ..."
"And really ..."
"It's far away ..."
...
"Friends of the Earth Age and Golden Sun, can you understand this steady state that is 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 making money has become extremely difficult. Of the 1,000 entrepreneurs, only one can survive fortunately."
"... The son of the chairman is still the chairman, the son of the lawyer is still the lawyer, the daughter of the doctor is still a doctor, the daughter of the ramen shop is still making ramen ... there is almost no communication between the upper and lower levels."
"Few people can get rid of this fate. As long as they want to break free, oncoming failure."
"Only people like me who are born free can do what they 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 not strong mobility, choose one of the two. If it is an ordinary person, which one will it choose?
Many people think the former is better. But for the average person with ordinary IQ, courage and ordinary knowledge, it may be better to choose the latter.
The former gives hope to ambitious people, but the latter is a good place for the mediocre people, at least it means the stability of the family, so as not to fall into the street.
If you make enough money, you can occasionally be free ... it's a good life.
In other words, most people in society have accepted their mediocrity. The environment of the entire world and the culture rooted in the depths of civilization ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ inculcate their ideas.
Is mediocrity bad?
The mediocrity is very good, the productivity of this world is already high enough, there is no need to develop technology and no more innovation. The mediocre person can also live a delicious life. As long as he inherits the position of his parents, he will have nothing to worry about in his life, and it will not be a problem to be happy.
In addition, the channels for upward promotion are too narrow. As the main body of class crossing, young people's consciousness of leap is gradually weakening, and they are trapped in the aftermath of "disease".
The benefits of struggle are too small and too small.
As for the issue of life, it is no longer a big problem. As technology stagnates, life expectancy has stopped growing.
As for the upper class can live 300-400 years old, and the lower class can live 200-300 years old, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal ... Isn't it natural for rich people to live longer? In the end, it's going to die anyway. If we can accept this, there will not be so many contradictions.
