[Explanation] Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the hospitals surrounding the "Anti-Cancer Shared Kitchen" on Dongming Road, Zhengzhou City have adopted closed management. Some patients who are not used to hospital meals have asked the "Shared Kitchen" for help.
The three partners of the "shared kitchen" who were going to close their doors did not hesitate to take orders and said that they would cook and deliver meals if they had any difficulties.

If they have this need, we will have no hesitation.
(During the epidemic) We can close the door enough, we go home, right?
This is safer, but they call us, send text messages, a kind of praying and desire, that kind of words and eyes, we can't ignore, so the three of us insisted on sending them every day.
In the current situation, I feel that they will be able to come out again to cook their own meals until the epidemic is over.
[Explanation] This "shared kitchen" was originally a cooking place for patients in the surrounding hospitals who have special needs.
Patients here only charge a processing fee of 5 yuan (RMB) for cooking a pot of rice. Seasoning, kitchenware, rice, etc. can be used for free, and the price has not increased for many years, so it is favored by patients and their families.
[Explanation] On August 10, the reporter saw in the "shared kitchen" that the role of cooking became three partners, taking orders by telephone, making fish soup, making noodles... They were busy placing orders The patients cook.
[Simultaneous on-site]
Two people's (single), did you pick it up?
Make another egg-tomato noodle, put some greens, and scramble the eggs.
This is black fish soup, (who is it for?) it was also ordered by the patient.
[Explanation] Why did you open such a store?
Wei Xingtao, one of the partners of the shared kitchen, introduced that it originated from his experience when he accompanied his wife to see a doctor in a nearby hospital many years ago.
[Concurrent] Wei Xingtao, Partner of Shared Kitchen
At that time, my daughter-in-law was also seeing a doctor here, and she felt that she had a meal. Every time she bought it outside, some patients seemed to be taboos. You can't buy (no taboos) ingredients, so unless you make them yourself.
I didn't find a place to cook at the beginning. Every time I was a fellow from my hometown (borrowed to cook), I was very touched at that time. I said that there are still many good people in the world.
When my daughter-in-law is optimistic about (ill), I also want to do this, which can help more people and eat more assured and delicious meals.
[Explanation] From the initial nutritious meal processing to the "shared kitchen", and now to provide private customized meals for patients, the three partners have accumulated a lot of experience in cooking for patients over the years.
The requirements for saltiness, softness, and nutrition are also just right.
Wei Xingtao told reporters that during a special period (of the epidemic), patients asked for help. They had the place and ability to cook, so they couldn't bear to leave it alone.
We are just doing our best to help a little bit.
[Concurrent] Wei Xingtao, Partner of Shared Kitchen
Because these patients, he can’t eat the food (many) they bought outside, so we must cook a little for him, and ask us to cook it again and again. I was moved by them in my heart, so I said no matter how difficult it is, I will Send them to them and do them well.
[Explanation] Although there are only more than ten orders per day, the three partners are still insisting.
[Concurrent] Wei Xingtao, Partner of Shared Kitchen
The purpose of the shared kitchen is to allow patients and family members to come to us to cook, eat delicious meals, and taste the taste of home, so that everyone can work together to (allow patients) to recover quickly.
