On the afternoon of the 13th, the reporter found in a community supermarket in Xincun Street, Fengtai District, Beijing that the vegetable area was basically empty. Many residents were asking why the vegetables were not sold, and some were discussing to go to other supermarkets. The staff told reporters: "Because it's a weekend, more food is prepared than usual, and the price is the same as usual, but it has been robbed this morning."
