"If you have trouble with no income in Hangzhou, you can come to our store and have a'single set meal'. Just leave after eating. You are welcome!"

  This is a poster posted on the door of a casserole shop in Hangzhou.

  In just a few words, the warmth of human affection is full.

  The hotel owner Gan Yang said that Hangzhou is a warm city, and he has to work hard to be a warm person.

The cost of a single package is not low

But will keep doing it

  Located at No. 322 Shangtang Road, this Jinhua casserole shop is Gan Yang’s third casserole shop. It just opened in November 2020 and its business is not very stable.

  However, to provide a loving one-person meal for people who have no income or who are in trouble is what he has always wanted to do.

  The other two stores in Ganyang are on the second floor and the other on the first floor.

"The newly opened store faces the street, and the posters are displayed so that people who come and go can see it," Gan Yang said.

  Gan Yang, 29, was born in Hunan. He dropped out of school when he was very young and started working hard.

"I have eaten everything. When I was in the most difficult time, I didn't have any money, and I wandered the streets."

  In the summer of 17 years old, Gan Yang fell into the bottom of life for a time. “There was no money on him, so I could only sleep on the billiard table outside other people's billiards at night.” Gan Yang smiled and said, luckily it was summer, if it was winter ,OK……

  After suffering, I know how to suffer.

Gan Yang climbed out of the predicament and chose to help others within his own ability.

  In more than two months, three or four people have come to the store to eat the "single set meal", almost all in the latter half of the night.

  "My parents help to watch the shop during the day. I usually go by at 6 or 7 in the evening and go home after 6 in the morning." Gan Yang was impressed by the people who came to eat for free. "They all seem to be in their 50s or 60s. Although they wear a lot, they are all thin clothes stacked together and they are not warm."

  Gan Yang would sit down and chat with them to get closer.

"When I was suffering, I was the same as them." Gan Yang can judge whether those people are really difficult based on his own experience. "I will not take the initiative to ask, but when they come, I can see that they are really qualified. not good."

  The "single set meal" is specially matched by Ganyang. There are two big bones and a thousand pieces, lettuce and other ingredients. There is also a staple food such as noodles, which is enough for one person.

  "A normal double casserole in our store has four big bones, so the single set meal is cut in half." The cost of a single meal is not low, but Gan Yang feels that he can do his best.

  It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

When Gan Yang's new store was short of staff, he actively asked those who would like to help, but they were rejected.

This made him a little confused, but he said that "single-person packages will continue to be done."

Able to be a warm person

Then hurry up and start

  This year is the tenth year that Gan Yang came to Hangzhou.

  From the ignorant 19-year-old boy to the beginning of his new year, Gan Yang spent his time working hard. Fortunately, he came to Hangzhou.

  I first met Hangzhou in October ten years ago. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the city made this young man fall in love with the city.

"As soon as I came to Hangzhou, I felt that the city was very clean. The quality of the people here is also very good. The fragrance of osmanthus is also very good. I really want to stay." Gan Yang told reporters, "The car makes people" he only knew when he came to Hangzhou. of.

  It is not easy to really take root in Hangzhou.

  Gan Yang, who is not well-educated, can only rely on his ability to endure hardships to work everywhere, experience all walks of life, and finally choose to settle in the catering industry.

  He opened Jinhua casserole because he had been an apprentice in a casserole shop for many years.

  "It was really difficult at that stage, but I met a lot of well-wishers, so I stay now." Gan Yang took his parents and his wife around, and the family took care of the "casserole business" together.

  Although he was hit by the epidemic in the first half of the year, Gan Yang survived, and the newly opened Shangtang Road store is his latest hope.

  "I'm not on the right track yet, I still want to do it step by step." Gan Yang said that he is still far from buying a house, but he has already bought a car and is considered a "capable person".

  "I am able to help those who are in difficulties. Let's get started." Recalling bitterness and thinking about sweetness, and always grateful, Gan Yang applied his life philosophy to life.

  In addition to providing a free "single set meal", he will also provide a warm food to the surrounding sanitation workers and familiar car drivers.

"I'm in the store in the middle of the night. Many of the car drivers and sanitation workers will come to the store to chat. I will also cook noodles and eat with them. Everyone is familiar with it."

  Gan Yang said that in this warm city, he must also work hard to be a warm person.
