CCTV News: Buying groceries and cooking seems to be a small matter for people's livelihood, but it is a big thing that everyone cannot live without every day. Recently, a new "frying agent" service model that has quietly appeared in some vegetable markets in Shanghai is very popular.

"If you buy vegetables, I will help you cook" is launched at Yongtai Road Vegetable Market in Pudong New District, Shanghai. The service of cooking on behalf of others is launched. We can see that the dining area here is full of customers waiting for cooking. At the same time, many people are buying vegetables directly from the next vegetable market.

The stall owner of the vegetable market told reporters that with the popularity of "frying on behalf of others" services, more and more customers, and merchants will also provide customized and personalized services according to customers' needs.

The reporter saw at the stall of "frying on behalf of others" that the processing fee ranges from 5 yuan to 20 yuan depending on the ingredients. After the boss asked the reporter's taste preferences, he quickly washed, cut and stir-fried the ingredients. In less than 10 minutes, a plate of fried meat with a full range of colors, fragrance and flavor were released. The launch of this "cooking agent" service not only saves consumers from the cumbersome cooking time when they go home, but also ensures the freshness of the ingredients and the personalization of the taste, which is very popular among office workers and the elderly.

Work together to protect the healthy development of "frying on behalf of others"

By introducing the "frying on behalf of others", the vegetable market has changed its previous single sales model and formed a service platform integrating shopping, catering and leisure. At the same time, local regulatory departments have strengthened supervision of the "frying agent" stalls to ensure that the source of food is traceable, the processing process meets hygiene standards, and the fire safety, environmental sanitation, kitchen waste treatment, etc. of the site are also guaranteed.

Shanghai: Vegetable market upgrades new business formats and life is more convenient

The "frying on behalf of the vegetable market" service is just a microcosm of Shanghai's optimization of vegetable market services. Last year, Shanghai upgraded and transformed 98 standardized vegetable markets. On the basis of providing main and non-staple foods, these vegetable markets strengthened the construction of smart management, and combined with the "15-minute convenient living circle" to continuously transform and develop, improve service levels, and create a new business format of "vegetable market + community commerce". Among them, since the Xiying Road Vegetable Market located in Pudong New District was renovated last year, the community service function has been strengthened according to the characteristics of the surrounding elderly. For example, breakfast shops and community canteens are added to the outdoor venues. Elderly people over 60 years old and takeaway guys can also be discounted. The market has also added convenience services such as quick cuts, minor repairs and small repairs. This year, Shanghai will also standardize 80 vegetable markets.
