How can I pick out fresh Kiwei shrimp in the supermarket?

Do you use your hands or the net?

As the aquatic product supervisor of a new retail supermarket in Chongqing, Tan Wanyi combined "Tai Chi moves" with "hot pot long chopsticks" and developed a set of "cheats for picking shrimp martial arts", which reduced the mortality rate of live shrimp in supermarket stores by about 20%.

This method not only makes it easier for customers to choose fresh food, but also greatly reduces the mortality rate of live shrimp.

　　Tan Wanyi is a "Tai Chi fan" and has been practicing Tai Chi for six years.

While in college, she took the Tai Chi course as an elective, and then became obsessed with Tai Chi and has been practicing Tai Chi until now.

According to Tan Wanyi, when customers choose shrimps, they are used to picking shrimps directly with their hands. Not only are their hands easily stabbed, but also human body temperature and bacteria on their hands will affect the water temperature and water quality and cause the death of live shrimps.

In particular, Jiwei shrimps are very fragile. Customers use nets or hands to select repeatedly, resulting in a high mortality rate of live shrimps.

　　Later, she created a set of "Crafts for Picking Shrimp Martial Arts" combined with Tai Chi techniques, and applied Tai Chi's techniques of picking birds' tails and wild horses to picking shrimps, reducing the mortality of shrimps.

In order to improve the speed of picking shrimps, she also used chopsticks to hold soybeans to practice the speed. Now she can pick 80 shrimps at the fastest one minute.

Under her leadership, colleagues around her also learned this "secret".

　　Li Zhi, the deputy store manager of the store, said that the combination of the "Pick Shrimp Wugong Cheats" and the Jiwei Shrimp Oxygen Pack ensures that every shrimp that customers buy home is fresh and alive, and at the same time the store's wastage rate has been reduced by 20%.

At present, we plan to extend this method of picking shrimps to various stores.
