Shaking the Little Tree Story picture book

Recently, I have been working on developing new products. Drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee and 2 to 3 cups of alcohol every day keeps oneself awake at night and feeling light during the day, maintaining a "clear-headed" state.

Over the past few years, due to the pandemic, the space has changed from being constantly on the go to just 15 square meters now. It feels like both the body and the mind are trapped, and there are fewer themes and inspirations. It really proved what someone said before. The year 2019 was the worst of the previous ten years, but it was the best of the following ten years.

The epidemic has not only dealt a blow to the economy, but more so to confidence. I felt even more after doing physical work.

A few days ago, I was chatting with the fruit vendor next door and he said he was on the verge of giving up. His store is open 24 hours a day. During the day, it's his wife, and at night, it's himself. For this small store, I didn't go home even last Spring Festival. Extremely hardworking. In this regard, he can leave me 200 miles behind (so much so that I always use him to reflect on myself). Thanks to his efforts, the fruit store did very well during the Spring Festival. He is full of confidence and ready to go all out.

But the recent epidemic has made him start to waver. He knows nothing about the Internet or social promotion, nor does he have Douyin or Xiaohongshu. He works extremely hard to support a small family. But now, he is losing confidence.

This period of time is particularly testing the mindset of entrepreneurs. I hope the big brother next door can get through this, rebuild his confidence and encourage each other on the road to entrepreneurship.

Finally, although the pace was slow, we finally reached the 50th issue, which can be regarded as achieving the phased goal. In this issue, I'd like to introduce a new friend of the Little Tree Shaking team to you all: a one-eyed robot (name to be determined)
It appeared in the last issue. I hope some abstract ideas can be expressed through TA.

Despite the rampant pandemic in 2022, the Internet industry was indeed undergoing significant changes. It is the new Internet concepts such as Web3.0, the metaverse and NFTS that are becoming well-known to everyone.

New things will always bring fear to people. Just like when we encounter snakes or crocodiles, we feel scared because they are not of our kind and we think they are ugly. In fact, they see us in the same way. It's because I don't understand.

The previous mining and cryptocurrency trading have kept blockchain in a bad reputation in China, although it started relatively early. But the development has not been very smooth. In addition to the suppression from the United States, the pandemic, and domestic policies. It almost made us perfectly miss the next opportunity for the development of the Internet. But I still think we should actively explore. The combination of the virtual and the real might become the norm of the next Internet.

Adhering to the principle of "It's better to make mistakes than to miss them". Shaking Little Tree will actively embrace the concept of "metaverse". So in May, we launched an NFR avatar based on the "Shaking Little Tree" IP character: Y-ID. In simple terms, it refers to the "Shaking the Little Tree" avatar with non-homogeneous rights, which is unique. For more details, please visit our official website: www.yaoxiaoshu.com.

Finally, the door to the "metaverse" has actually been opened. Rather than being afraid, it's better to understand first.

Finally, the "Yao Xiao" series of digital little robots born in the Yao Universe is coming soon.

The small mobile horn rang again. "Building 10, come down for nucleic acid testing..." "Building 10, come down for the nucleic acid test."
Just like doing the inter-class exercises at school, being extremely punctual. I mechanically got up, dressed myself and put on my mask. Walk to the elevator entrance and press the button... The epidemic has divided us into several square kilometers.

The queue is still very long. But it was very quiet. Everyone was looking down at their phones and moving forward one by one at a distance of two meters. Looking up at the sky, the weather is fine. The sun is so bright that it's a bit dazzling. It seems that even when this city stops, you can hear its breathing. This round of the epidemic has spread so rapidly that it caught us off guard. The loss of big cities and the spread of the epidemic. Panic has been spreading for several days. The optimistic expectations from a few days ago have long been shattered. I thought the past epidemic had come again. Our generation has never experienced too many major disasters. Our country has been growing at a very high speed over the past few decades. There is no regression in cognition. There was no mental preparation for this at all in my heart. Along with the epidemic came the economic recession and the spread of various emotions. I think everyone will grow up after going through this disaster. It also depends on the rest of one's life. These are just the daily routines

By March, the temperature began to rise. This season is suitable for camping.

There is a small hill called Mishan in my hometown. The altitude is not high, approximately 34 meters. It is located beside a large reservoir. When I was a child, I would climb up several times a year.

Starting from a farmland at the foot of the mountain, one can reach the halfway point by walking along the gentle southern slope through an orchard. On the mountainside is a forest of low pine trees. There was a forest fire before, and this pine forest is newly grown. So it's not very high. Beyond this pine forest lies the rock, the granite unique to the north. The mountain has become steeper. It takes about ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain by following the path taken by the predecessors. There is a triangular iron tower on the top of the mountain. The old man said it was built for measurement.

After reaching the summit, looking into the distance, one feels refreshed and at ease. Blue sky and white clouds, wheat fields in the distance, and flocks of water ducks on the water surface. Occasionally, there would be one or two seagulls. Take a deep breath of fresh air and you'll immediately relax.

Life in the city nowadays is too noisy. Occasionally going out for a walk is also a great way to relax.

Nowadays, there is a business model called "day coffee and night wine", and there is also a state called "day coffee and night wine". It's just having coffee during the day and drinking alcohol at night. This is almost a microcosm of career life.

For a while before, I was like this. I got up very early in the morning and was still half asleep. I quickly woke myself up with a cup of coffee. Because I know that today's work requires me to make my thinking agile. Knowing that in the upcoming fierce competition and verbal sparkles with other departments, the representative of this department is ready to express the project ideas and push for their implementation.

So coffee is indispensable. This is doping, and it's legal.

However, there is also a side effect: I feel sleepy after noon. If there's anything else to do in the afternoon, then I must have another drink to prolong my life.

Besides, coffee is also a small social tool. When you ask for assistance from other departments, the most effective way is to send a cup of coffee and ask for help. If not, then two cups.

After working overtime in the evening, it's time to have a couple of drinks to release the pent-up emotions from the day and clear away the negative energy. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep. And the more you drink, the more intense it gets. This state is not good. But aren't all office workers getting drunk in coffee like this nowadays

In recent years, I have particularly enjoyed being alone. I like to do something alone, such as having a drink alone, strolling in the park alone, or playing games alone. A person is riding a bicycle and listening to music. Sometimes I even wonder if I have become unsociable. In the past, I was afraid of being called unsociable by others, but now I feel that I'm getting more and more "capricious" as I live.

There's no way around it. Our generation of only children was born alone. When young, one always hopes to prove oneself and be respected by others. So one has to keep interacting with different people in this society and constantly strive to become the excellent self in others' eyes. In fact, I'm well aware that I'm not good at these things, so the appearance I put on has never satisfied others, and I feel awkward myself. So I gradually chose to reduce such communication and face myself truthfully. This way, it's actually very easy.

So, when thinking of the slogan for the Rocking Little Tree Cafe & Drifting Convenience Store, I used it: Have a drink and relax. It means there's no need to install it here. It doesn't matter whether it's awesome or not. Who doesn't have a moment of glory or a time when they fall into a ditch? So here, you can drink with everyone, or even have a drink by yourself, all by yourself.

Half a year has passed, and the handwriting of Shaking the little tree continues to be updated.

First of all, let me report that the Shaking Little Tree Cafe has finally opened. Now that I think about it, it was actually quite difficult, due to the pandemic. I thought the cafe business would come to an end in 2021. Finally, I managed to open the door unsteadily. So sometimes hope is very important. It's your courage to keep going, and it might also be the foot that leads you into the pit.

When looking for a store in August. The epidemic broke out suddenly in Zhangjiajie, followed closely by Nanjing and Yangzhou. At that time, I felt that the preparations for the past six months were likely to go to waste. Because the epidemic will first hit the offline catering industry. I'm really so sad about the little tree shaking that just started. If you stop now and have to wait until next year, neither your mindset nor your time will allow it. So we made a decision: to downsize, strictly control costs and take a chance.

Later, I finally found the store in October. By the opening on November 18th, I was cheering myself up every day. On the road of entrepreneurship, self-encouragement is needed.

Now, the epidemic is still ongoing. Get ready and meet the challenges... ..

It's normal for people to have desires; otherwise, they wouldn't be normal people. Our ancestors all said that people have seven emotions and six desires. Life is meaningless without desires.

Some people say that Japan is now a society with low desires. Young people in Japan can see your own future at a glance. No matter how hard you try at present, you can't change your current life situation. So choose to have low desires and just lie flat. Low desires deprive oneself of the motivation to live.

But by overspending on all kinds of luxury goods and luxury cars, with overly high desires, one has ended up in debt. It's not a good thing either.

So, it is very important to control your desires well. Control it well. Desire is the driving force. If you can't control herself well, she will devour you.

I especially like and am grateful to Beijing from 2005 to 2010. Because Beijing was full of inclusiveness at that time, it gave me ideals and youth. Make yourself feel that you still have some value. It was also at that time that I made the magazine "Drifting".

And the two words "drifting" have now become the awe and obsession deep in my heart.

So all these years have passed. I still want to do something about drifting. This has nothing to do with any commercial value or model. It's just a pure desire to carry on the ideals of my youth.

After some thought, I realized that I could set up a 24-hour convenience store. It's called Drifting Convenience Store. Sell some simple food and drinks to offer some warmth and a place for solitude to the wandering people in the dead of night.
