[Explanation] With the improvement of the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation, the streets and alleys of Chengdu have also recovered their previous fireworks. Some old-fashioned stores hidden in downtown Chengdu have also reopened. On April 24, the reporter visited a medieval store in an old building in Shenxiang, Chengdu.

　　[Explanation] The word "Middle Age" originated from Japanese, originally intended as second-hand, and gradually evolved into a consumer concept and popular culture for buying and selling old objects, which was sought after by young people. Volcano Vintage opens near Yulin Road in Wuhou District, Chengdu. The small shops are full of clothing, jewelry and other commodities with a sense of the age. They are mainly European-style vintage accessories. The store owner, Gao Cancan, told reporters that although many people have misunderstood the ancient culture, there are still some people who like the charm of the age brought by this culture.

　　[Same period] (Gao Cancan, volcano vintage director) Because many people now think that, like the kind said, it may be "picked down" from (others), otherwise it is very dirty, and then there are parasites on it . Or that these are the names of second-hand goods, second-hand goods, but I think more, I like the charm of it, but it is a witness of this sense of age.

　　[Explanation] Affected by the epidemic, some international flights were cancelled and international logistics was suspended, which caused problems in the inventory of some vintage stores. Speaking of his inventory, Gao Cancan feels very lucky.

　　[Same period] (Volcano Vintage manager Gao Cancan) I am very lucky that our new store is about to open. Then, during the Chinese New Year, just before the Chinese New Year, I have been preparing for the new store, so I hoarded at that time A lot (commodities).

　　[Explanation] For another medieval store that also bought from Japan, the problem of purchasing still brought a certain impact to the store. Bessou is located in Dongtan City Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu. It mainly sells toys and decorations with a sense of time. Almost all the products in the store are selected by the owner Meng Yangming in Japan.

　　[Same period] (Meng Yangming, the owner of the ancient shop of Bessho) I will basically go to Japan once a month, but in the case of an epidemic, the outbreak of the "Diamond Princess" started earlier and we could not go to Japan. We estimate that we know that there is the possibility of this outbreak all over the world, and we made a pre-judgment. I brought a lot in Thailand, enough to deal with our problems for a long time to come.

　　[Commentary] Speaking of his own purchase experience, Meng Yangming, the old shop owner, is very happy. However, from the perspective of the overall operation of the store, Meng Yangming believes that sufficient inventory may also be unsalable due to the epidemic.

　　[Same period] (Meng Yangming, the owner of the ancient shop of Bessho) We will send lollipops when we enter the door. In the past, we could send out one can a day. There are about 300 cans in a can. Now we can only send one packet a day, only 50 packets a packet. Because the business is not good now, this batch of goods may be unsalable.

　　【Explanation】 Middle-aged commodities have been criticized for quality and hygiene issues. During the outbreak, customers pay more attention to health issues. Gao Cancan admits that in order to ensure the quality of the goods, they can not achieve 100% complete disinfection.

　　[Same period] (Gao Cancan, principal of Volcano Vintage) I actually said it was more frank, because it includes some handmade beads, beaded bags or some fabrics that are not washable. We basically will do it. External disinfection, but there is no way to use a washing machine or dry cleaning. This kind of (commodity) 's sense of time is here. It may be from the 70s and 60s. It can be kept until now. I still want to retain its completeness. I will try to select some similar ones as much as possible. Preserved items, unused or newer things.

　　【Explanation】 Middle-aged culture is niche, with a group of loyal and stable "fans". As operators, Gao Cancan and Meng Yangming both have the idea of ​​continuing to open stores in Chengdu. They hope more people will understand this culture in the future and like it.
