Deep Space Planet Leader

Aiding was surprised to find that this small ramen shop was divided into two adjacent shops, one owned by Xia Yueyue father and the other It's her own.

"Come and try my new recipe!" Xia Yueyue greeted enthusiastically, standing in front of the store.

Edin tasted it and found it to be okay.

Looking up at Xia Yueyue, this girl is still so energetic, as lively and cute as before.

"I made a lot of new recipes, including tomatoes, pork bones, and spicy...Which one would you like to eat?"

"You plan to start your own business Already? But why is your store so non-business?" Ai Ding looked at the next door, and all kinds of seats were spread out on the sidewalk.

I looked at this place again, as if he was the only customer.

"Does anyone like it? I think it's okay!" Ai Ding took a sip of the soup, which he thought was delicious.

"Ai, I don't know... Maybe my father has more old customers." Xia Yueyue dragged her chin, very distressed.

Clearly more diversified than father’s approach, it’s not better than my own father, it’s weird...

Then, the next year...

When the business couldn't go on, the two shops naturally merged into one.

Because Xia Yueyue's father is getting older, he is already preparing to retire, only occasionally helping out. The lifespan of the populace who has been engaged in manual labor for a long time will not last so long.

However, with Xia Yueyue's ability, she can take good care of the store.

Obviously, after abandoning those weird formulas, the business is as hot as before. The regular customers are still quite willing to take care of Xia Yueyue's business.

"Did you give them up? I think they are delicious." Ai Ding puzzled.

"Maybe it’s because I’m tired after eating for a long time, or maybe it’s for other reasons...Hey, I can’t help it. Anyway, it’s the best way to do business." Xia Yueyue shook the head, slightly depressed.

Then she said ambitiously: "I decided to open another store! Otherwise, how can I be the queen of ramen!"

"Uh... the location must be selected." Edin asked. He smiled slightly, this was the Xia Yueyue he knew.

"Do you want to invest in me?" Her eyes flickered.

"Of course no problem."

……

The third year.

Xia Yueyue opened a new chain store with a very good location and a lot of traffic.

Moreover, she used father's old formula.

But looking at the storefront of Menkeluoque, it was obvious that she had failed again.

The old shops in the surrounding area are all full, but her ramen shop is not patronized by anyone.

"Why? Edin, I'm so sorry, it was a waste of your investment."

After repeated failures, Xia Yueyue no longer has the "Queen of Ramen". imposing manner. At this time, she had been in the society for three years, and she was no longer as young as before.

Eding sighed. The little money invested is simply nothing to him. However, Xia Yueyue still did not find the reason for the failure.

The fourth year...

The newly invested ramen shop closed down again, and Xia Yueyue obediently took over father's shop.

"I'm sorry, Ai Ding. I'm so bad at home." Xia Yueyue said with a bitter smile.

Four years have left frost on her face. This business is really hard. She has to go to the soup at 6 o’clock in the morning, and we will close the shop at 11 or 2 o’clock in the evening for a week. Take a day off at most, don’t even think about holidays. Although the income is okay, it's just okay...

But, what can I do?

The fifth year...

Xia Yueyue still makes ramen at Father's shop.

Sixth year......

Still staying in her shop for so many years, it is impossible to start a business again.

The seventh year.

Still staying in her shop.

The eighth year, the ninth year...

So, fifteen years have passed...

Still staying in her shop.

Thirty years have passed...

At this moment, Ai Ding is already a true sociologist.

His footprints are all over the planets of the solar system, and he has an in-depth understanding of the culture rooted in the deeper parts of the planets. Many Star Domains have their own differences, but they also have things in common.

For so many 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 a symbol of growth.

On this day, he quietly returned to Earth to execute his agreement.

The business of the ramen shop is still booming, he lightly sighed, "Xia Yueyue, let’s have a bowl of beef ramen!"

Even if the business is busy, Xia Yueyue is still She cooks herself, "Your Ramen."

She is at the table, looking at Ai Ding with curving eyes.

With the passage of time, it seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that a lot has changed.

"It seems that I realized my dream first." Edin sighed after taking the last sip of the soup.

Talking about these past events, Xia Yueyue could only laughed sadly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ai Ding, I was so young then..."

"Dreaming about this thing, it's so beautiful..."

"It's really..."

"It's very far away..."

...

"Earth Era, friends of the Golden Sun, can you understand this kind of steady state rooted in the entire society?"

"This World is no longer suitable for the existence of dreams. Xia Yueyue is not an exception."

"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 chairman's son is still the chairman, the lawyer's son is still a lawyer, the doctor's daughter is still working as a doctor, and the ramen shop's daughter is still making ramen...high, middle and low layers almost No communication."

"Very few people can get rid of this fate. As long as they want to break free, they will face failure."

"It's only me who is born free Only those who are able to do what they want to do."

In fact, such a world is not necessarily bad.

A society with a large gap between the rich and the poor but highly mobile, and a society with a small gap between the rich and the poor but not highly mobile, choose one of the two. If it is an ordinary person, which one will you choose?

Many people think the former is better. But for ordinary persons with ordinary IQ, courage and insight, the latter may be better.

The former gives hope to ambitious people, but the latter is a good place for mediocre people, at least it means the stability of the family, not to fall on the streets.

If you make enough money, you can occasionally be free...it can be considered 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 instilled such ideas.

Is mediocrity bad?

Mediocre is good. The productivity of this World is already high enough. It does not need to develop technology or more innovation. Even mediocre people can live happily, as long as they inherit the positions of their parents, they will have nothing to worry about and be happy for the rest of their lives.

Furthermore, the channels for upward promotion are too narrow. As the main body of class leap, the youngster's leap consciousness is declining, falling into the repercussions of "effort sickness".

The benefits of struggle are too small.

As for the lifespan problem, it is no longer a big problem. With the stagnation of technology, the average lifespan has stopped growing.

As for the top class can live three-four hundred years old, and the lower class can live two to three hundred years old, so it seems that there is nothing at worst... the rich people live longer than as it should be by rights? In the end, he would die anyway. If you can accept this, there will be no contradiction between that many large and small.
