Yangtze River News (Reporter Zhang Sheng) The long-lost nights and lakes of Wuhan have been revived under the guidance of crayfish and barbecue. On March 30, Changjiang Daily reporter learned from Meituan Takeaway that in the past week, Wuhan ’s takeaway orders have increased by more than three times, and 60% of orders have come from the night. Catering orders have increased by more than 50% compared with the same period in February.
Takeaway has become a barometer of the city's recovery. "In February, everyone's take-out orders are generally orders for masks, medicines, and supermarkets." Wang Pan, the head of Meituan Takeaway Zhoutou Station, said that entering the end of March, the categories of take-out options for residential areas have changed significantly, " With the re-opening of many restaurants, citizens now order more takeaway foods, hot dry noodles for breakfast, various local snacks at noon, and many milk tea burgers in the afternoon. There are some small shops selling hot dry noodles this week. It's nearly 10 times. "
The surge in demand for takeaway meals in Wuhan is the most impressive performance of crayfish. Meituan takeaway data shows that in the past week, the top five orders for Wuhan takeaway food orders increased by crayfish, hot dry noodles, barbecue, hot pot, milk tea. Among them, the take-away order volume of crayfish brand stores increased by 11 times in the past week, and the second-ranked hot and dry noodle take-away order amount increased by nearly 8 times in one week.
Wuhan's crayfish brand stores, such as Liangliang Steamed Shrimp and Fat Shrimp Farm, have recently resumed operations through takeaways. According to the relevant person in charge of Feifei Shuangzhuang, 8 shrimp stores have been opened in its subsidiary. Good stores now have more than 100 orders every day, and only 60 orders at this time last year. Happiness is from shrimp! '"
Resumption of the industry has ushered in a single surge in just a few days, and Mr. Yuan, the person in charge of Liangliang Steamed Shrimp, felt the same way: "I have received calls from the public every day to ask when I can eat crayfish. Takeaway orders with thousands of customers abound. "
During the epidemic, the fireworks in Wuhan never actually went out. US group takeaway rider He Wenwen has been running late at night. He said that even when the epidemic was the worst, there would still be a lot of Wuhan citizens ordering supper to take out, grilling is a must, and occasionally with some porridge, cooking and so on. "As long as food is available, many restaurants still insist on closing until 1 am or 2 am." He Wenwen said that in the past week, he clearly felt that various barbecue nightclubs represented by crayfish have begun to increase. It also gradually persisted from snoring in the early hours to open all night, and the streets at night began to become more alive than before, "I feel that the fireworks-filled Wuhan is about to return."
