CHONGQING (CQNEWS) - Fashion buyers, luxury buyers... Have you ever heard of “buyers” in the vegetable market? In Chongqing, there are a group of people who shuttle in vegetable markets every day to buy all kinds of foods for customers who order online, ranging from chicken, duck and vegetable, to one or two pepper, one ham sausage, and two green onions can help you integrate and pack. This group of people is the “living map” of vegetable market. They were very clear about stalls with fresh and affordable food. What will happen when the Internet and vegetable market meet? Now let’s go to the vegetable market together.

“Lettuce head!” “Buns, fragrant and glutinous Buns!” “Cheap grapefruit!” All the way through the uneven road of Zhengyang Agricultural Trade Market in Nanping, including fruits, vegetables, meat, cooked food, seasonings. There were all kinds of living materials, and it also attracted the residents nearby every day. The stall owners and customers were calling out the prices. Citizens may stop to see, pick vegetables, and meet the acquaintances to say hello. Life can be touched here.

Mr. Lin is only 18 years old this year. Since he wanted to develop in the e-commerce industry in the future, he came to the vegetable market to help at a young age. He always walked in the vegetable market like "a gust of wind". As a “buyer” of the vegetable market, he could not be more familiar with the vegetable market. “This bean sprout dish is the freshest in the stall. Buy it here,” Lin said, and soon rushed to the next stall.

In the center of the vegetable market, Zhao Dezheng, 51, was sorting out goods at his vegetable stall. Mr. Ling is his nephew. Why did he go to another stall to buy it? Lao Zhao said with a smile that there were no bean sprouts in his stall today. He is now in the vegetable e-commerce business. Netizens place an order, and the buyer will distribute the goods. The rider will deliver the goods. The fresh fruits and vegetables can be delivered in about half an hour. At present, his stall can deal with a business with the amount of more than 300,000 yuan a month.

Mr. Zhao has been in the vegetable business for 25 years. In recent years, the Internet economy has been booming. His cousin in Guangdong gave him advice: “Now you can buy clothes and shoes on the Internet. In the future, you can also buy the vegetables you sell on the Internet.” In this way, he began to contact e-commerce. From the beginning of the day, he occasionally had several orders, and now his business almost relies on netizens. Take out the mobile phone and open the fresh take-out platform app where their stall is located, You will find that there are all kinds of vegetables and fresh food. There are more than 1000 kinds.

“You have a new order, please check it!” When netizens place an order on the platform, Mr. Zhao’s voice player in front of his stall will automatically remind and print out the specific menu. On nearly 20 clips, “buyers” of the market will prepare the items ordered by netizens from left to right. During the rush hour, the clips were all hanging full.

Different from the traditional vegetable stalls in the agricultural market, old Zhao’s e-commerce vegetable stalls are naturally different. There are about 500 kinds of goods in his stall, all of which have a large sales volume on weekdays. For other seafood, poultry and other products, or those that his stall does not have, Mr. Ling and other several buyers will go to other stalls in the market to buy them and then go back to pack them for netizens.

The vegetable market is very large, with more than 1600 stalls. But for Mr. Zhao and other several buyers, “We can find it even with our eyes closed.” Mr. Shi, a relative of Mr. Zhao, is also one of the “buyers”. After buying the meat, he trotted all the way: “If I place an order personally, I also hope to receive something early.” Therefore, if there was no fish or poultry that need to be killed, he can make a single stock within 5 minutes.

“Although it’s on the Internet, we should be honest!” Mr. Shi and his partners also had an important process in stock, that was, they need to pick the vegetables to a certain extent, cut some green stems at the end of carrots, and remove the most defective leaves of vegetables. These were done to ensure the quality of vegetables.

They were careful. Many netizens have become their regular customers. They often asked for specific requirements. Eels should be with thin tails, chicken should not be with skin, and they should be packed in two parts... These requirements will be met by buyers one by one in stock.

During the chat, Mr. Zhao put some shallots into the prepared bag. “It's estimated that it’s for pork chop soup. If you don’t forget to buy some shallots, I’ll bring some for him.” For these vegetables, they will look at the list and add some for free according to different situations. Lao Zhao said that this is his thinking for Internet. People who buy vegetables can get convenience and benefit, and their business can get better and better. Why not?
