You can eat for free when you encounter difficulties! A restaurant owner in Shenzhen gave a ＂free lunch＂ for five years.

"Boss’s pattern is big", "Shenzhen has true feelings" and "praise for kind bosses" … Recently, some readers reported to the special hotline (telephone number 13242420380), and a netizen posted a "free meal" video on the video platform, which was touching. There is only a red paper notice in the video, which says, "If you have no income in Shenzhen and encounter difficulties, you can come to our store and tell our staff to have a’ single set meal’ and just leave after eating. You’re welcome. I just hope that in the days when you have the ability, remember to help those who need help around you and pass on your love. Thank you! "

The short video sent by netizens attracted attention.

The reporter who read the special media learned that the restaurant with the notice of "free eating" posted in the video is located in Minzhi Street, Longhua District, Shenzhen, and is a Hakka restaurant that has been operating for 12 years. Wang Yingmei, the owner of the restaurant, was very surprised by the sudden attention: "This notice has been posted for several years, and it may be a video taken by passing citizens. In fact, this is only a very small matter, hoping to help those in need. "

The "free meal" notice posted on the glass of the restaurant store.

One soup, one dish and one rice.

This "Single Package" has been delivered for five years.

At noon on March 3, the reporter who read the special media came to this shop named "Mei Jie Hakka farmhouse restaurant". At the time of the meal, there were many passengers in the store. The notice of "Free Eating" was posted on the glass on the right side of the restaurant entrance, and the yellow characters on the red background were very eye-catching. Wang Yingmei, the boss, sits at the checkout counter and greets customers with a smile from time to time.

"I just do what I can, and I want to help people in need solve a few meals. It’s not worth mentioning." Hearing the reporter’s inquiry, Wang Yingmei’s first reaction was to decline the interview. When it comes to passing on love to more people, she thought about it before telling her story simply.

It is understood that Wang Yingmei is a native of Heyuan, Guangdong Province. After graduating from secondary school in 1996, she came to Shenzhen to work hard. At first, I worked as a waiter in a restaurant to carry plates, and then I gradually became a foreman. After gradually accumulating experience, I started my own business. "Because I have experienced hard work, I can better understand the groups in trouble." Wang Yingmei said. So, in 2019, when her career gradually improved, she posted this warm notice in two restaurants under her name, providing a free "single package" for those who have difficulties or life difficulties when they first came to Shenzhen.

"People who have difficulties can come directly. We have no requirements." Wang Yingmei said that she believes in the spirit of contract between people and that no one will deliberately "eat and drink". "If we find that some people don’t seem to have difficulties and come frequently, the clerk and I will gently persuade them, hoping that the other party will work down-to-earth and exchange labor for wealth."

The restaurant provides a set meal for one person, a dish, a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, which can be continued.

A stir-fried dish, a cup of stewed soup and a bowl of rice is a simple "set meal for one person". According to the correspondent, such a set meal is sold to 30 yuan -40 yuan every day, and it takes five years for Wang Yingmei to give it away. She hasn’t counted how many "free lunches" she has sent in the past five years, but Wang Yingmei said that she will keep sending them as long as she can.

Pass on the warmth of Pengcheng

"The meal can be renewed for free. Ask the guests whether they eat spicy food or not, and stir-fry according to their needs, which are generally mixed with vegetarian food." Ms. Li, a restaurant staff member, told the reporter that Wang Yingmei had told the clerk what to pay attention to for the guests who ordered the "single set meal". Ms. Li has worked in Wang Yingmei’s restaurant for nearly 10 years. Since 2019, she has also hosted many people who come to the store to ask for a "single set meal". She feels very warm-hearted about her boss’s loving behavior. "I think, if I just went to a strange city to look for a job and didn’t have much money in my pocket, I would be very touched to meet such a restaurant." Ms. Li said.

Mr. Wan from Anhui is a frequent visitor to Wang Yingmei’s store. He told reporters that he came to Shenzhen in 2019 and noticed this notice when he first went to the store to eat. In recent years, he has met people in need to order a "single set meal" during the dining process. "The most impressive thing is that in July 2022, a very thin young man came to order this package. I used to know about his situation and finally gave him 200 yuan support." Mr. Wan smiled and told reporters that he believed that Wang Yingmei’s loving behavior had a positive impact on him. "Doing good deeds can infect people around you."

On the public comments, many netizens mentioned the notice of "free meals" in the comment area of the restaurant. "A Hakka restaurant downstairs is very busy every day, and the service staff are very enthusiastic. A big sign of" free meals "has been set up at the door … The boss should be a caring person with a pattern." "When you go in for dinner, you see a sign of" free meals "at the door. It’s really a family. ……

"Positive energy needs to be shared, and our society needs such goodwill." Wang Yingmei said that even if she doesn’t do catering in the future, she will do her best to help those in need. For her, I hope that this goodwill will be passed on and let more people feel the warmth of Shenzhen.
