3 yuan Anti-cancer Kitchen is located next to three post-90s tumor hospitals in Shanxi. Why insist on it even if you lose money?

Because of the same original intention-guarding the taste of home for patients and their families, in August of 20021,three young people opened the first local anti-cancer kitchen next to Shanxi Cancer Hospital. In just half a year, they have helped more than a thousand patients' families and brought us the beauty of "human fireworks". However, after the enthusiasm, the practical problems of anti-cancer kitchen also appeared. "Rent, water and electricity are big. Basically, I have to pay for it myself every month. I am afraid that one day I will not be able to persist. " The Chinese side said.

An alley on the west side of Jiangxi Cancer Hospital, less than 200 meters inside, you can see a conspicuous red signboard hanging on the side of the road, which reads four big characters-Love Kitchen. This unusual "kitchen" is located between the narrow lanes of two self-built residential buildings, occupying a depth of more than ten meters from the entrance, two meters wide, with white tile counters and pools for washing and cutting vegetables on one side and ten coal stoves for cooking on the other. This kitchen has been open for 19 years and has been cooking for cancer patients and their families. The charge is very cheap: only one yuan for frying a vegetarian dish, two yuan for meat dishes and three yuan for cooking soup. Seasoning and kitchenware are provided free of charge, and the time is not limited.

At present, the store in the kitchen rents a small shop, and the rent is relatively high. "The annual rent and property fee is nearly 6.5438+0.3 million yuan, which is the lowest price for the boss to support our caring cause." Qi Shuqiang said that the normal rent of this store is at least 300,000, and the boss is equivalent to giving us a 50% discount, but even so, the cost is still too high for the anti-cancer kitchen.

Compared with the cancer hospital separated by a wall, the fireworks here are full of gas, with the sound of chopping meat, spatula and pressure cooker sizzling one after another, and the aroma of food wafts from the alley. People come and go in the kitchen, and the fire is endless. For many patients' families, cooking here is a rare respite and comfort under the pressure of their loved ones' illness. At that time, a briquette was only 20 cents, which was a dream. Anyway, the embers of fried fritters are useless, and she was told that she could come to cook in the future.
