985 graduate students dropped out of school and set up a stall to sell mashed potatoes

There was a long queue in front of Fei Yu's booth.

  3月19日下午4點過,在四川大學華西校區東區北門的擺攤隊伍里,費宇的攤位格外引人注目,沒有招牌,沒有廣告,卻被排隊的人群擠得滿滿當當,隊伍沿著步行道在路口轉折出一條S型彎道。人頭攢動間,食客們拿著手機,有的在拍照記錄,有的正在向同伴介紹著這位“老闆”,隨著時間的推移,隊伍越排越長,絲毫不見鬆散。

In front of his stall, the simple small food truck on the left side is neatly placed with folded ear root, coriander, chili sauce, dried radish and other seasoning ingredients, and the stainless steel thermos bucket on the right is filled with steaming mashed potatoes.

Looking at the slightly green "boss" in front of you, it is hard for you to imagine that he was a graduate student in the Department of Public Health of Fudan University a year ago.

On the first day of the first experience of setting up a stall, he was "educated" by 50 catties of potatoes

Time back to 10/0, this is Fei Yu's first day out of the stall. Before setting up the stall, he warmed up on the social platform early and told his classmates and friends that he was going to start setting up a stall. Although everyone's support is very high, he still has no bottom in his heart, and everything is full of unknowns.

At 50 o'clock in the afternoon, there was the sound of the brakes of the tricycle downstairs, and more than 0 catties of potatoes were lying quietly in the sack, he took a deep breath, grabbed the two corners of the sack tightly with both hands, and used all his strength to carry the heavy potatoes down the narrow and dim stairs to the third floor step by step. After moving the potatoes into the house, he quickly began the busy production process. should be full of energy, but the reality poured a basin of cold water on him, more than 0 catties of potatoes were piled up in the corner, like a hill, but the pot at home was like a small horse-drawn cart to deal with them, and he had no choice but to steam them three times.

At the same time, the green onions, coriander, folded ear roots, and sour radishes on the board are also waiting for Fei Yu's "pointing". Holding a kitchen knife, he began to chop chopped green onions, coriander, and folded ear roots. After the potatoes were steamed until they were soft and glutinous, he hurriedly crushed the mashed potatoes with a wooden shovel, and then used a blender to puree them and put them into a thermos bucket.

Seeing that there was less than an hour left in the stall, the work at hand was scattered. Fei Yu was anxious, scurrying around the house like a headless fly. Suddenly, he grabbed his mobile phone and called for help in the group of classmates: "Friends, I'm going to be 'cool', help in the rivers and lakes!" ”

After a while, a few friends arrived on shared bicycles, and as soon as they entered the door, they rolled up their sleeves and started to work. Some people relay the stir-fry of the sauce and meat foam, and some people cut the ingredients. After a busy day, several people finally pushed the food truck to the stall at the planned time to start this unknown journey of setting up a stall.

"Among the people who came to support me on the first day, there were many acquaintances, and there were many classmates who came to tie up for me after swiping my post, and sold out all the mashed potatoes in more than an hour, with a turnover of more than 700 yuan." Recalling the scene of setting up the stall on the first day, Fei Yu had a smile on his face.

Face your heart, change boldly, and do what you want to do

Fei Yu studied at Sichuan University as an undergraduate, and a year ago, he was a graduate student in the Department of Public Health at Fudan University, and his future is bright in the eyes of everyone. But one day in 2/0, he decided to put a hard brake on his life and decided to drop out of school. "I want to live my life differently."

During the year of being unemployed at home, Fei Yu fell into thinking about the future and kept asking himself what he really wanted. At this time, the idea of setting up a stall quietly emerged. He remembered the days when Kong Ming lanterns and hydrogen balloons were sold, although they were simple, they were full of happiness. In his sophomore year, he won the sales championship of calling cards with his excellent communication skills and sales strategy. These past bits and pieces, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, piece together a clear understanding of his professional suitability - it turns out that he is more suitable to show his strength in the field of sales.

The road to setting up a stall is not all smooth sailing, and the biggest obstacle comes from parents, "They feel that after reading so many books and putting in so much effort, it is a pity that they choose to set up a stall now." ”

Of course, more pressure comes from the world's eyes, "Parents will feel a little embarrassed in front of relatives and friends." Although he verbally objected, Fei Yu's strong insistence made his parents feel that maybe he could also let him break through.

"You see, it turns out that my choice is pretty good." Fei Yu said that since he officially set up his stall on 400 on 0, his influence on social platforms has increased day by day, and now he has formed two fan groups. One of the groups has long been full of 0 members, and the number of members in the other group is also growing rapidly, and it is now close to 0 people. According to Fei Yu, the vast majority of the group are his alumni. The most important thing these enthusiastic fans care about every day is whether he will go out of the stall that day, and if so, where will he "open". Everyone was looking forward to saying hello to him in front of the booth and cheering him on.

Of course, Fei Yu also has his own little secrets, he admitted frankly that when he shared his experience of dropping out of school and setting up a stall on social platforms, he deliberately blocked the teachers. Although he never regretted the decision to quit school and set up a stall, deep down he was still afraid of disappointing his teacher's expectations and disappointing his former teacher, so he wanted to wait for some achievements in the future and tell them.

Fei Yu's experience caused a lot of shock on the Internet, and many people sent messages one after another. They confide that they are in a similar predicament, longing for change, but are held back by a lack of courage. Everyone praised Fei Yu for his courage and daring to make choices that they didn't dare to make. In reality, Fei Yu is also using his own actions to convey his heart to those confused friends in the comment area and private messages: you must muster up the courage, face your inner thoughts, and ask yourself what you want. Once you have a clear direction, you should make bold choices, make bold changes, bravely step out of your comfort zone, stop running away, and take the initiative to meet new challenges in life.
