Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 145: There is no need for dreams in this world.

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

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

Edin tasted it, and found it to be okay.

Looking up at Xia Yueyue, the 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?"

"Are you planning to start your own business? But, why is there so little business in your store?" Ai Ding looked at the next door, and all kinds of seats were spread out on the sidewalk.

Looking here again, it seems that he is the only customer.

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

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

It's obviously more diversified than my father, but it's not better than my father, which is very strange...

Followingly, the second year...

Seeing that 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 civilian class who has been engaged in manual labor for a long time will not have that long life expectancy.

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." Aiding 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 her head slightly, slightly Frustrated.

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

"Uh... the position must be selected." Edin said. 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 her 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 full, but her ramen shop is not visited by anyone.

"Why? Edin, I'm so sorry for wasting your investment."

With repeated failures, Xia Yueyue no longer has the aura of being the "Queen of Ramen". 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 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 his father's shop.

"I'm sorry, Edin. I'm so bad at home." Xia Yueyue said with a wry smile.

Four years have left her face with wind and frost. This business is really hard. She has to go to people to start the soup at six in the morning, and the shop will close at 11 or 12 in the evening, and at most one day off a week. Basically don't think about holidays. Although the income is okay, it is only okay...

But, what can be done?

The fifth year...

Xia Yueyue still makes ramen at her father's shop.

The sixth year...

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

The seventh year.

Stay in her shop.

The eighth year, the ninth year...

So, fifteen years have passed...

Stay in her shop.

Thirty years have passed...

At this moment, Edin is already a true sociologist.

He has traveled all over the planets of the solar system and has a deep understanding of the cultures rooted in the deeper parts of the planets. Many star regions have their own differences, but they also have things in common.

For so many years, Ai Ding 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 carry out his agreement.

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

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

She is at the table, looking at Edin with crooked 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 smile sadly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ai Ding, I was too young then..."

"It's so beautiful to dream of this kind of thing..."

"Really..."

"It's very far away..."

……

"Friends of Earth Age and Golden Sun, can you understand this kind of homeostasis rooted in the entire society?"

"This world is no longer suitable for the existence of dreams. Xia Yueyue is not alone."

"The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is not too big, but it has become extremely difficult to make money. Only one of the 1,000 entrepreneurs is lucky to survive."

"...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, the ramen shop's daughter is still making ramen...There is almost no communication between the upper, middle and lower levels."

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

"Only a person like me who is born free can do the job I want."

Actually, such a world is not necessarily bad.

A society with a large gap between the rich and the poor but with high mobility, and a society with a small gap between the rich and the poor but not strong mobility, choose one of the two. If you were an ordinary person, which one would you choose?

Many people think the former is better. But for ordinary people with ordinary intelligence, courage, and knowledge, the latter may be better.

The former gives hope to the ambitious, but the latter is a good place for mediocre people. At least it means the stability of the family and the street will not fall down.

If you make enough money, you can be free once in a while...It's 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 ~ IndoMTL.com ~ instilled such thoughts.

Is mediocrity bad?

Mediocrity is good. The productivity of this world is already high enough. It doesn't need the development of technology or more innovation. Even mediocre people can live happily, as long as they inherit their parents' positions, 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 leaping, young people’s awareness of leapfrogging has become increasingly sluggish, falling into the sequelae of "effort sickness".

The benefits of struggle are too small.

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

As for the uppermost class can live three to four hundred years, and the lower class can also live two to three hundred years, it seems that it’s not a big deal... Isn’t it right for the rich to live longer? In the end, he will die anyway. If you can accept this, there won't be so many contradictions.
