Lu Chuanfang: I Sold Ice Cream Gourd In Shenzhen For 300 Thousand.
A string of little sugar coated gourd on the table, but it has been made into food, printed on the trademark, openly placed on the supermarket counter, into the family of ordinary citizens, and become a popular food for invigorating the spleen and appetizing.
Who could have imagined that the inventor of this initiative was actually a Shandong woman with only junior high school culture.
Bitter sister escapes to work in Shenzhen
In 1973, Lu Chuan Fang was born in Lu Shu Village, the outskirts of Heze, Shandong.
After graduation from junior high school, she left school with tears in her eyes.
In 1992, the family ordered a marriage for her. The other party was a demobilized soldier and a militia battalion commander in a neighboring village.
In the Spring Festival of 1993, Lu Chuanfang got married with an uneasy heart.
Lu Chuanfang wanted to exchange her diligence for the happiness of marriage, and soon she became an industrious woman in the village.
The fate that God arranged for her seemed to let her wear aprons everyday, round the hearth and several acres of land without stopping.
By the end of 1994, her daughter was born.
In the same year, Lu Chuan Fang's husband ran for the village Party branch failure, became decadent abnormal, spent all day wandering around doing nothing, and later learned to drink too much. When he got drunk, he beat Lu Chuanfang to death, and often beat her black and blue.
At that time, Lu Chuanfang simply thought: her husband was frustrated on the "official career" and was in a bad mood before he made such a reckless move. His husband still loved him.
Lu Chuanfang's poor hope soon became a bubble.
Later, when she found out that her husband had a woman outside, her heart suddenly broke, and the sky supporting her collapsed.
She cried and made trouble, and did everything possible to please her husband in order to save him from going farther and farther away.
But all efforts can not stop the rival like a mountain!
In July 1994, Lu Chuanfang, who could not afford to be humiliated, took care of his daughter and entrusted it to his parents. He only had 200 yuan on his body, and a man secretly went down to work in Shenzhen.
Lu Chuanfang bumped into the truck pporting beef to Shenzhen for two days and two nights.
When he arrived at Buji town in Shenzhen, it was already at two in the morning, standing under the dim street lamp and looking at the container truck which was moving vigorously on the deep Hui highway. Lu Chuanfang's heart suddenly gave birth to a kind of vacant and helpless.
Because she did not know that she needed to run a border permit in Shenzhen, she only had an ID card, so she had to stay outside the city to find a job.
Luckily, she just caught up with a Buji copper mirror factory, and she was very young.
Lu Chuanfang worked hard in the pipeline for three years.
A monthly wage earns more than 500 yuan, and she sent back home in addition to a little cost of living.
At that time, every night after work, a sore girl, only lying on the iron bed, over and over again looking at the picture of her sweet smile on her daughter, that moment, she had a little relief in her heart.
At that time, a message came from her hometown that her husband had lived with the woman openly.
Lu Chuanfang also died of this unlovelled marriage.
In early 1998, due to the impact of Southeast Asian financial turmoil, Lu Chuanfang's factory closed down and she lost her job.
In May 1998, Lu Chuan Fang found a job as a dishwasher in a Chaozhou restaurant in Bagualing Industrial District of Shenzhen. She also paid a deposit of 200 yuan.
Who had worked for less than two months, Lu Chuan Fang didn't even dare to pay the deposit, but he ran away secretly, because the boss in Chaozhou often had a hand in her hands when no one was there.
Lu Chuanfang worked for more than four years, but he did not learn any skills. In addition, there were few factories in the urban area of Shenzhen.
At first, she could afford to go to the "10 yuan store" every night, but less than a week later, she saw that the money in her hands was getting smaller and smaller.
Four string of sugar coated gourd changes destiny
In October 1998, desperate Lu Chuanfang put down his face and picked up trash near the Lotus Hill.
The Lotus Hill Park in the center of Shenzhen is a famous scenic spot free of charge to the public. There are countless visitors and kites flying here every day. Every day, empty bottles and cans are thrown everywhere.
A mineral water bottle can sell 1 cents, and an empty can can sell 1 cents 5 cents. Lu Chuan Fang sells these things every day to sell his life.
At the beginning, Lu Chuan Fang felt embarrassed and often used secretly to pick up people when he was less in the evening.
But later she picked up more garbage, and she could not get anything later, so that she could not guarantee a box lunch every day.
Later, she could not care about her face.
Shame is nothing. The hardest part is accommodation. Because there is no place to live in the evening, she only sleeps in the reeds of a tall person at the foot of Lianhua Mountain, and often sleeps until midnight.
At that time, her clothes were dirty.
Because there was no place to bathe for a long time, her hair was also embroidered into a ball, and there was a pungent odor on her whole body: she was almost the same as a real beggar.
Lu Chuanfang had never thought that the four chance to change her life was the icing on the cake.
One evening in November 1998, Lu Chuan Fang was picking up trash in the garbage bin. Suddenly she saw a woman at the gate of Lotus Hill Park carrying a pole with ice sugar gourd.
All kinds of fresh and bright ice sugar gourd, far away, all exudes a tempting sweet smell.
At that time, she had not eaten for a day, and her stomach was empty.
Lu Chuanfang only ate this kind of ice candy when he was little, but I didn't expect anyone in Shenzhen to sell it.
She took out all the 4 yuan she had in hand and bought 4 strings of sugar coated gourd. Each of the varieties picked a bunch of apples, hawthorn, strawberries and orange petals. She ate 4 strings at a time, and became very fond of it. Even the syrup touched her hand was licked clean by her.
That night, sleeping in the grass, Lu Chuan Fang tossed and turned hard to sleep. She thought of the sister-in-law who sold ice sugar gourd during the day. Her business was so good that she wanted to learn from others.
Second early in the morning, she waited at the entrance of the park early, but she could not see the shadow of her sister-in-law for a whole day.
Lu Chuanfang endured hunger and spent the night.
At noon on the third day, she finally saw the kindly sister-in-law.
Lu Chuanfang was excited, but she said nothing. She just stood behind her sister-in-law, watching her sell strings of candy.
As long as the sky was dark and the people dispersed, when the sister-in-law lifted up the empty ice sugar and gourd shelf, she was about to leave. Lu Chuan Fang stopped her and stopped for a long time without saying a word.
My sister-in-law looked at her pitifully, and asked her what was wrong.
For a long time, I didn't realize the concern of others. In the heart of Lu Chuan Fang, there was a sudden heat wave. She suddenly felt a soft knee. "Plop" fell on her knees before her sister-in-law.
Lu Chuanfang told her sister-in-law that she had been waiting for her for two days. She did not ask for money, but only asked her to let her have a place to live. She could help her sister-in-law for free.
Just then, when her sister-in-law was busy and busy, she needed a helper and promised her at the moment.
This sister-in-law is a native of Luohe, Henan, who rented two houses in Shenzhen with her husband.
For a living.
That night, Lu Chuanfang was arranged to live with his sister-in-law, and the loyal and honest elder brother lived in a small shop in the next production workshop.
From then on, the special "family" started to rush out early and return to Shenzhen, selling ice sugar gourd at various parks and tourist attractions in the city.
Xiaobing sugar coated gourd makes two rooms and one hall.
Ice sugar gourd tastes delicious and tasty, but it is cumbersome to do it.
Lu Chuanfang learned while selling, and in less than two months, she had basically mastered the technology of making sugar coated gourd.
In the past two months, her face has also been restored to the past ruddy, the spirit of a new look.
During that time, every day she carried a stick filled with ice sugar gourd. Under the beautiful Lotus Hill, she raised her clear voice and shouted, "ice sugar gourd, 1 yuan a string, sweet and delicious, all the young and the old, the good food for invigorating the spleen and appetizing, and coming to buy yo..."
For a long time, visitors to Lotus Hill will be impressed with the voice of the woman at the entrance of the park, who is selling sweet ice cream.
Later, many of the old tourists from Lotus Hill would have to taste her ice sugar gourd by naming them.
Some tourists buy more string when they go back, and bring them to the elderly and children at home.
Some tourists say that Lotus Hill does not eat her sugar gourd, it does not mean to come, to eat authentic ice sugar gourd, you have to come to Lotus Hill!
Gradually, Lu Chuanfang's sugar coated gourd became almost a view of Lotus Hill.
Many tourists still take pictures of her after eating. Even foreigners eat their thumbs and even say OK!
Because Lu Chuanfang's mouth is clever, the number of iced gourd sold every day is larger than that of sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law sees in the eye, joy is in the heart, not only wrap her to eat and lodge, give her 300 yuan monthly wages.
During the Spring Festival of 1999, the head of a Taiwanese capital company in Longgang town of Shenzhen led 300 employees to visit Lotus Hill.
At the entrance of the park, Lu Chuanfang, the boss of the childlike innocence, bought several string of ice sugar gourd from his hand and even called it well after eating.
He still asked Lu Chuanfang how many string of ice candy he had in his hand, and Lu Chuanfang answered truthfully: "there are only 100 strings."
The Taiwan boss said happily to the attendant, "I have bought all these sugar coated gourd, and each employee has a bunch of them, so I pay the bill."
But more than 300 workers, only more than 100 string of sugar coated gourd, are far from enough. What should I do?
Lu Chuanfang quickly notified the sister-in-law, who was Hawking in the distance, so that she hurried home to make it, and sent it quickly.
On that day, three people were half dead, but on that day they made five hundred or six hundred yuan in earnest, much more than the monthly wages earned by Lu Chuan Fang on the assembly line.
Until then, Lu Chuan Fang felt vaguely that there was much to do in this little ice candy bottle.
After the Spring Festival of 1999, Lu took advantage of the opportunity to return to his home in Henan.
After all these days, Lu Chuanfang was keenly aware that if he simply walked on the road of "simple production and peddling along the street", it would be difficult for him to enlarge his business.
Although the iced sugar gourd is delicious, it is no different from many people's eyes. After all, the snacks are hard to reach.
How to make your own sugar coated gourd make a little bit of fame, so that more people can eat?
She couldn't help thinking about it.
One evening, Lu Chuanfang, who had come back from work, went to a supermarket near her home to buy peanut oil. When she was in the supermarket, she found that a lot of homemade quick frozen dumplings and noodles were put into the supermarket.
She thought, if your own sugar coated gourd can also enter the supermarket, then you don't need to go to the streets so hard to peddle, and can let more people eat it!
Lu Chuanfang could not help but be excited by his fantastic idea.
To do it, she immediately ran to the Management Office of the nearest Ren Le Supermarket and discussed with the supermarket leader.
How did you know that if you did not finish speaking, you were thrown into a cold water at the top of your head?
Have you ever heard of a supermarket selling sugar coated gourd?
Lu Chuanfang was choked in a moment and walked out of the office in a gray way.
Is the hope of burning so destroyed?
She didn't lose heart.
But the "choking" just now woke her up.
She thought it was too urgent to look at it.
Lu Chuanfang saved tens of thousands of people who had worked hard to sell ice sugar gourd.
