The epidemic of this vegetable farm in Yangzhou guarantees that the supply will not fall for a day
“There have been confirmed cases in several communities around here. The community where the first confirmed patient in Yangzhou is located is only more than 100 meters away from the vegetable market. The anti-epidemic guarantees for more than 20 days. We have no rest all day here.” August 25, Yangzhou Shuangqiao Ding Zhisheng, the person in charge of the farmer’s market, was a little pleased when facing the reporter’s exhaustion. As the epidemic prevention and control situation stabilizes and improves, Yangzhou is starting to resume work at the farmer’s market in the main urban area. “Everyone has opened, and we will be less stressed.”
At 4:30 in the afternoon that day, the reporter came to this farmer’s market. The latest business hours at the entrance were posted on the wall with a piece of A4 paper: 6:30-11:30 in the morning, 2:30-6:30 in the afternoon. “After August 17th, we shortened the operation time of the vegetable market by one hour, but it is still the longest open time in the main city of Yangzhou.” Ding Zhisheng pointed to the rows of fences at the east gate of the vegetable market and introduced that the main urban community is gradually being managed and controlled. Let go, it is estimated that there will be no fewer people coming to buy vegetables. They set up these fences in advance. When the flow of people is large, they will establish a single circulation channel for buying vegetables, which not only ensures that everyone keeps a safe distance, but also improves the purchase of vegetables. efficient.
Precautions may be one of the important reasons why the Shuangqiao Farmer’s Market can “survive” in this epidemic. “When the news of the outbreak in Nanjing came, I felt a little drumming in my heart. Although I felt far away, I immediately improved the management requirements for the epidemic prevention and control of the vegetable farm. First, only one door of the vegetable farm was kept, and the others were closed. The door was safe for health. The code and itinerary code were checked by everyone at the beginning. You must wear a mask when you enter the market to buy food. At that time, some elderly people were stopped outside because they were not proficient in using their mobile phones. The staff came in to buy on behalf of the shop. Because of the heavy workload, their employees didn’t understand it at that time.”
Most of the first batch of confirmed patients found in Yangzhou were elderly people. Fortunately, none of the positive patients entered the Shuangqiao Farmer’s Market during the circulation. This is also an important condition for the vegetable market not to be closed during the epidemic. “Most of the vegetable farms in the main urban area are closed, and the remaining vegetable farms are even more important. There are at least 70-80,000 residents around our vegetable farms. Since the outbreak, we normally have to deliver more than 1,000 servings of vegetables, pork, and fruit a day. 2000 copies, the furthest delivered to Xihu Town in the north of the city.” The rush of orders also made Ding Zhisheng feel the weight of the Shuangqiao Farmers Market in this battle against the urban epidemic.
The non-closing food market has become a “reassurance” for the residents and cadres of the surrounding communities. Li Shiyun, a big business operator in the vegetable market, said: “In the past 20 days, I have not slept for more than 4 hours a day. Joined the grocery shopping groups in several communities, the orders were soft, and our WeChat friends were afraid to pass them at will. The situation was not relieved until the government guaranteed the food. Before dawn, we have to place all orders placed online and in the market. They were packaged and marked one by one, and delivered to volunteers at the gates of various communities at 10 a.m.
Li Shiyun told reporters that he often received urgent orders for help. A strange number called at noon on August 24. It was an elderly person in a nearby community. There was really no food at home. He asked Li Shiyun’s mobile phone number and asked her if she could immediately. Send an order for emergency. “Do you think I can wait for this kind of thing? I can’t take care of lunch. I delivered the old man’s food in 10 minutes, and charged 25 yuan for 28 yuan.”
Pass, health code, itinerary code, nucleic acid test report. After some inspection, the reporter walked into the Shuangqiao Farmers Market. Although most of the stall operators are busy, there are no individual customers. Market managers and volunteers take it. Shuttle back and forth between the stalls with orders. “A vegetable market is not an open shell. Merchants must maintain the supply and distribution chain. They are the soul of the vegetable market.” Ding Zhisheng told reporters that after the outbreak, many merchants chose to close their business. When the number of merchants was the fewest, 9 There is only one merchant selling meat, and they can only call each to do work. Although there are only more than 30 merchants operating normally in the market, all the dishes are available, especially the butchers, 9 of which are operating normally.
Starting from August 17, the food market can only accept personal online orders and unified procurement from the community. “Not only has the operating model changed, but the price of vegetables has also been strictly controlled. Every day, merchants have uniform requirements for what they sell and what prices they sell. We will send a price list to each merchant in the morning, and we will make statistics on the merchants’ sales in the evening. In this situation, there is no government subsidy, and everyone basically does not make money, but everyone is silently insisting that although most of them are outsiders, they have the simplest wish. When it is difficult, we must work hard with this city.” Ding Zhisheng said.
“In addition to contacting the community and receiving orders, during this period, the food market’s epidemic prevention and control, merchants’ various passes need to be processed by us one by one, especially because of the epidemic prevention and control needs. It can’t be delayed. It must be done that day. These merchants have to pick up vegetables in the early morning. If they can’t get through, the food market will open the skylight the next day.” In Ding Zhisheng’s office, the reporter saw that the sofa had been changed into a temporary bed. Boxes of instant noodles are randomly stacked in the corner. “After the outbreak, all the staff in our farmer’s market did not go home. Everyone just made do in the office. After all, as long as the vegetable market is open, residents in the surrounding communities will not panic.” (Li Yuan)
