Dachang Town in Baoshan District, with a population of 400000 registered residence, has 35.6% of the elderly over 60 years old. How can these elderly people eat, live and live comfortably? On June 13th, focusing on the construction of the "15 minute elderly care service circle", Dachang Town firmly grasped the three points of "medical care", "health care", and "happy care" and launched a theme activity of serving the elderly, releasing projects such as a map of elderly care services and a manual for elderly care services.
"Everyone will grow old, so it is even more necessary to think from a different perspective, integrate service resources and establish service projects that closely meet the actual needs of the elderly. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the 'young for the elderly' service brand in Dachang Town," said Qian Yeping, Deputy Mayor of Dachang Town.

Before 11 o'clock in the morning, there were already several diners sitting in the Old Shengxing Soup Bun Restaurant on Hualing Road, including both young and old people. In addition to the signature hand made soup dumplings, Wonton, noodles and other Dim sum, there are dozens of small dishes to choose from at one side of the store. Aunt Tang, 79, who lives in Dahua No. 1 Village, skillfully walked to the order window and asked Aunt Fan to serve Fried fish slices with wine sauce, fried eggs with shrimps and bean paste and a dish of rice. At checkout, take out the elderly meal aid card with a green cover in Dachangzhen. Subtract 2 yuan from the 46 yuan dish and you will receive 44 yuan. "The dishes here are diverse and clean, and the young lady who makes rice also serves me a lot. I usually come to pack them every day and can have two meals when I go back," said Grandma Tang.
The 2 yuan deducted is the benefit provided by Dachang Town to the elderly with registered residence registration over 60 years of age at the community food aid. With a single consumption of 8 yuan or more, 2 yuan can be deducted, and each person can use it once a day. Since joining the ranks of meal assistance services 8 years ago, this old Shengxing store has been implementing this discount, and the sign at the entrance also marks "Dachang Town Community Elderly Meal Assistance Service Point". The store manager explained that on average, nearly 2000 people enjoy this discount every month. Because the store has a spacious area of 300 square meters, air conditioning, and comfortable sofa seats, many elderly people who come together are not in a hurry to leave after finishing their meals and will take a break and chat.
On Jufengyuan Road, 8 kilometers away, the restaurant "I Have Not Eated", which has been open for less than half a year, has also added the words "Modern Elderly Assistance Restaurant" to its signs, and prominently reminds diners at the entrance that they can deduct fees with their meal assistance card. Store Manager Wang introduced that the company learned about the meal assistance services in Dachang Town from the beginning of opening the store. Considering the dense surrounding communities and a large elderly population, they immediately joined in.

At 11:40 noon, it was the peak dining season and the restaurant was quite lively, with elderly people occasionally coming to serve dishes. The window dishes are mainly divided into four grades, with prices of 5 yuan, 8 yuan, 12 yuan and 15 yuan respectively. Each price includes four or five choices. Vegetables are mainly seasonal green leafy dishes. Meat dishes include big ribs, small ribs, lion's head, fish pieces, etc. of our taste, as well as meat and vegetable dishes such as shredded pork, cowpeas, Stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs. Except for some popular "resident dishes", they are basically free of duplicate samples for a week. When eating, the elderly can also choose free laver Egg&vegetable soup or barley tea. If there is not enough rice, they can add more.
Manager Wang told reporters that on weekdays, the most elderly people come to dine at noon, and on weekends, due to more family gatherings, there are relatively fewer people coming. "But sometimes we also see elderly people bringing their grandchildren over and picking out a few meat dishes to take home. They can cook fewer dishes themselves, and we are also happy, indicating that the taste and quality of the dishes have been recognized."
Manager Wang used to cook nutritious meals in a tertiary hospital and paid special attention to the selection and pairing of dishes. When he saw a 90 year old man "greedily" making more flavored dishes such as sweet and sour pork ribs and sauce fried pork liver, he would come forward to give advice, "The elderly should pay more attention to the sugar intake. I would advise him to have half a portion and then a fish." Because of his enthusiasm, nearby residents directly called him "Fat Store Manager", and he was also willing to serve everyone. When he saw that some elderly people couldn't finish one or two lion heads, he changed to selling them separately. "This way, you can have another half a vegetarian dish, make rice, and you can have a meal for 10 yuan." "It's not a waste either."
