The market is temporarily closed, but the supply of "vegetable baskets" cannot be stopped. In order to protect the supply of fruits and vegetables in the capital market, according to the latest announcement, during the temporary closure of the new development site, the vegetables and fruits originally traded in the market were transferred to certain designated areas. Among them, the international aquatic city site on the east side of North Bridge in Xinfadi, the international famous wine city site, the parking lot of large trucks, and the parking lot of Xinfadi Village are used for wholesale transactions of vegetable carts, and the temporary trading area is free of admission fees.
At 1pm on June 13th, a reporter from the Beijing News arrived at the temporary trading site of the International Aquatic City on the east side of Jingkai Road, which is currently the main temporary vegetable trading area. Many large trucks full of vegetables were entered after passing the body temperature test at the entrance. When the reporter entered, there were more than 50 large trucks in the open space waiting for buyers. The vegetable categories involved are all small and common in the vegetable market. Cabbage, lettuce, radish, cucumber, and ginger garlic.

A vendor engaged in lettuce wholesale told reporters that they received a market notice and came to the temporary trading area early in the morning to wait for business. "It was mainly unloading and loading at this place. We have many long-term customers who ordered directly by phone. Today one Two large cars were sold in the morning, about ten tons."
In addition to the vegetables being traded, there are also merchants waiting alone for the leafy vegetables that will soon arrive in Beijing. Mr. Zhang, a merchant, said that his employees are still under quarantine testing in the Xinfadi market, which also caused him to have to contact the source of goods to enter the temporary trading point and wait for the vegetable cart to enter.

Hebei white radish is 1 yuan a catty, a column of 250 eggs is priced at 80 yuan, and small rapeseed is 5 yuan a catty... The price of vegetables and eggs in the temporary trading area is not much fluctuating compared with that before the new market was closed. It is worth mentioning that because the temporary closure of the new place is more urgent, the scales are locked in the market and cannot be taken out for the time being. Many vendors have to temporarily sell the vegetables in bundles. For this reason, they are quite worried, "a bundle of celery 70 yuan, about thirty kilograms."
Although the name of the temporary trading area is International Aquatic City, the staff of Xinfadi said that the merchants entering the market need not worry about this, because the area has become a trading place for flower seedlings since the previous year. In addition, according to the work arrangement of Fengtai District, large distributors need to notify transportation drivers and trading agents about temporary trading venues. However, perhaps because of the tight time, the reporter discovered during the visit that the temporary vegetable trading venue of the International Famous Wine City indicated in the circular has not yet had a vegetable cart stationed, and the venue is closed.
