Chengdu Home Winter Canteen

There is a quiet alley full of ginkgo trees in Ximen, Chengdu. In the alley, there is a canteen called "Dong". The owner's name is Ran Xiaodong, a native of Chengdu. Because the winter she was born, there was a rare heavy snowfall in Chengdu. Grandma thought that winter was very special, so she named her Dong. Three years ago, her grandmother left her forever. After settling her grandmother's affairs, Xiaodong resigned from a high-paying position in a Fortune 500 company and opened this winter cafeteria. Because her grandmother had told her before her death: "Xiaodong, remember to use our 'ability' to help more people...". What exactly is the "ability" that grandma talks about? Xiaodong never mentioned it to outsiders. Those who had been "helped" by her seemed to have a tacit understanding and rarely mentioned her "ability". But with so many people helping, there will always be times when "the news gets out". Fortunately, Xiaodong didn't mind, she still welcomed visitors from all directions with a smile. It's just that she rarely talks about her "abilities" with her guests. The guests were also very knowledgeable. After asking curious questions, they didn't get an answer, so they stopped asking. The winter cafeteria has some "rules" of its own: 1. Drinking water is provided to sanitation workers free of charge. In winter, it is warm black tea to warm the body, and in summer, it is slightly cool honeysuckle tea, with unlimited refills. 2. Dong Canteen does not have takeout, nor does it participate in any word-of-mouth platforms. As for why there is still an endless stream of guests coming, it has its own charm and secret... This is the story about the winter cafeteria. If you travel to Chengdu, you are welcome to visit Dongshitang. Go try Happy Bento and chat with Xiaodong.
