Since the city was closed in Wuhan, the 30-year-old deliveryman has been working. He shuttled through the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng, taking a meal and recording everything he saw with his mobile phone.

On empty Han Street, there is a dog on the stage. Wal-Mart’s pork stalls are crowded, “I dare not go, I can’t grab it.” The leafy vegetables in the supermarket sell fast, and later, only potatoes, peppers and onions are left. In the middle of the intersection, an electric car was parked in the direction of Hankou.

He uses text and images on Weibo to tell his daily sights. These days, Lao Ji’s main job is to help people buy vegetables and meat. But sometimes there are some “strange orders.” For example, visiting Garfield to clean cat litter and add water to the owner who is not at home. For example, being commissioned to help find the missing cat. He went out at eight that day and spent eight hours using dried fish, canned cats, and socks to find it by all means. Someone said, “Thank you for not giving up the cat.”

The following is an old dictation.

1. “It ’s very short and changes fast”

I am an old plan. An ordinary takeaway rider in Wuhan. I only have one Weibo @ 计 六 一 六. The pictures on Weibo were taken by my shabby work phone. The words are true stories.

My Weibo was registered last July to record the stories of takeaway riders. But the actual recording began after the outbreak began.

At that time, alcohol and 84 disinfectant were out of stock. I asked a dozen pharmacies for none. (Taken on January 28)

Before January 20th, the street view in Wuhan is exactly the same as in other parts of the country, without any difference. After Zhong Nanshan’s speech, there have been changes.

In the early morning of January 21, the list of convenience stores suddenly became very large. When I opened it, I bought masks. That day, I went downstairs to buy a pot of porridge without a mask. The owner of the convenience store forced me to give me a cotton mask. I know this mask is basically useless, but it is quite warm after wearing it.

The time is short and changes quickly. do you know? On January 21st, we realized that the situation was so serious. On the 23rd, the city was closed.

On January 24th, I went shopping at Wal-Mart. I saw everyone wearing a mask and the conversation was as short as possible. The day before, this was not the case. Many people on the street did not wear masks.

Beginning one after another, takeaways can no longer be placed at your doorstep. At first, there were one or two communities that were not allowed to enter, and until later all were not allowed.

The empty Han Street has been lonely for a long time. A dog is basking on the stage. (Taken on February 4)

This river is the Yangtze River and opposite is Hankou. I haven’t been in a long time. (Taken on February 3)

In the past, I was waiting for orders by the river crossing every day. It used to be Hankou, but I never walked by. It’s closed now. Wuchang and Hankou used to be very close, but now they seem very far away.

There are too many people at Wal-Mart’s pork stalls. I bought a different place, and the family of five share it. I don’t know how many days I can eat. (Photo taken on February 8)

I stayed in Wuhan years ago and wanted to make more money. The platform has a winter food delivery challenge, two seasons, 13 sessions, each 7 days. As long as there is no interruption, the bonus may reach six or seven thousand, and my usual salary is five or six thousand. Now, I have completed the third phase and got about a thousand. It’s so hard! Not too much, not too little, which is equivalent to an extra month of living expenses.

The most orders I’ve received these days are errand orders. Traditional food delivery is rare. Yesterday, I got up at 9 o’clock. The supermarket opens at 10 o’clock and it’s gone late. At Wal-Mart, many people were waiting. I ran to the pork stall first, and I was dumbfounded immediately. Already crowded!

I dare not squeeze. I also know that I can’t grab the uncles and aunts. I bought beef at the beef stall next door. It cost more than 70 pounds. It is said to be good meat. An aunt was buying chickens and kept asking staff questions. I packed four bags of chicken breasts and four bags of chicken thighs, and after finishing weighing, my aunt ’s chickens were not picked.

There are many people at the self-service cash register. An aunt kept pushing me, let me hurry up, “Hurry up.” An uncle next to him was arguing with the staff, and I could n’t understand Wuhan dialect. Until I went out, it wasn’t over.

A bag of granulated oranges costs only five yuan! After I knew it, I was not happy and a little worried. (Taken on February 3)

At half past eleven, I help people buy medicine and deliver it. From Xu Dong to the place eight kilometers away, because there is no medicine for him. Looked at oseltamivir, a box of 118. The customer ordered two boxes.

Cai Da’s back door, line up to take the temperature to enter the door. Two security guards in protective clothing have been arguing. One seemed to say to resign, and the other said from time to time. The closer they got, the more they seemed to fight at any time. In the end, nothing happened. Scolded again and again and gradually drifted away.

Clean street. Wuhan in the epidemic center, Wuhan in the Spring Festival, Wuhan in the rain. very quiet. (Taken on January 26)

2. “Riders who are still working now will be somewhat proud”

This is how it is. I am a part-time rider. There is no fixed salary every month, and there is money for running a single order, but there is no such thing.

The main job of our platform is to deliver food. But there will also be some weird errands to buy and help. I heard that some people place orders, just let us chat. Or place an order and get your head together. Do you understand? Pretend to be a customer or something.

In the 30th year of Chinese New Year, I took a vacation for myself and didn’t take orders. I didn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala. Alone at home in Wuhan, watching TV shows and flashing Weibo. Seeing a video, the first-line health care nurse eats instant noodles. I forwarded and said, “I feel guilty as a takeaway brother in Wuhan! I’m sorry!”

I’m not one, or I don’t pretend to be a noble person who is dedicated to others. No such person, you know? We are all ordinary people.

To this day, there is still a sense of unrealism, and it seems like a nightmare that has been unable to wake up. (Photo taken on February 6)

I like to talk to people on the street. This is my personal habit. First, it’s a receiving information . Second, you can slightly relax and change channels. Because sometimes work is quite tiring and hard.

On the evening of January 30, I passed by the dormitory building of Wuhan University of Technology. Fourteen girls’ dormitories are also lit with many lights, and many clothes can be seen hanging. Maybe the classmates who stayed during the Spring Festival.

Wuhan University of Technology girls are very good, even if I occasionally overtime, I never mind. I remembered that in the summer before, when I was sending orders at Huda, I met two girls who were holding a lot of things and couldn’t hold it. Said it was changing bedrooms. I’ll help them move. After chatting, they knew they were going to stay in Wuhan for summer vacation. It’s winter, I wonder if they go home?

Wuhan University of Technology is on. (Taken on January 30)

At noon on January 31, I was waiting in the sun on the side of Qingshan Road. An old aunt pointed at me and said something to the old uncle next to me. I only heard “eat … takeaway …” After that, the aunt shouted at me, and she can still order outsideSell ​​it? Then we can order takeaway for dinner? I answered her and said, yeah, you can order takeaway, you can always order takeaway. She didn’t say anything, the two walked away slowly together.

I’m not saying I’m moved, I will have a little touch . I answered her, “You can click”, these three words are answering the question. But “it can always be clicked”, that is to express my emotions.

Not so tall, not so great. It’s simple. It is at this special moment that our takeaway is still working. We are still holding our post. May bring a little pride, others are not so much.

In fact, no matter what you say or do n’t say, there ’s no expression, the rider who is still working now will be a little proud.

No one is 500 meters away. It took a lot of effort to take this picture for myself. Guess how I did it? (Photo taken on February 7)

3. “The rider’s work is kind of interesting”


I used to do business. Failed to do business, owed a lot of money, the whole person fell into a depressed mood and could not extricate themselves. The state is bad, especially autism. Something has to be changed. At that time, there were few options available. The more open a person is, the more choices he can make. But when you are depressed and your thoughts are sharpened, the fewer choices you can make. On the other hand, I feel that I need to step out to communicate and integrate with this society.

I have to do something to change, not sitting at home thinking. That’s it. So I came to Wuhan to be a rider. Do it firstIs the full-time rider hungry? Later, in September, I became a part-time rider of the Meituan team, until now. Someone asked me why did the US group riders use hungry meal boxes? Because it works well, it hasn’t changed.

My car was loaded with too many things and almost doubled. At this time, there are not many riders who can take a single leg to buy food and meat. Please cherish them. (Taken on February 10)

The rider’s job is actually quite interesting. And there is, Freedom . Full-time riders are passive and passive. We wait for it to send orders. A part-time rider is that you have complete control over it, you can choose not to take orders, and you can choose when to take orders. This is why I later became a part-time rider.

There is a big difference between passive and active, and both are very tiring. If you choose actively, you will not be particularly tired. If it is given to you passively, and your heart is in conflict, then you will feel tired.

At the time, delivery was not considered a lasting job option. Always insist on doing it because, first, there is really no better or willing job for the time being. In addition, I feel that I have not adjusted well.

But after the epidemic, I noticed a new change in the meaning of the rider. It’s not just about delivering a meal. I can solve the practical difficulties of many customers, which will have more social significance or sense of accomplishment.

I bought a few catties of horseshoes for customers (this is how it is called in Guangdong). My hometown ca n’t call this thing too late. I put it in front of the door of 602. (Photo taken on February 6)

On February 1, my friend took an order for food delivery. As soon as he took the order, the customer cancelled the order, and then called over, “I didn’t place my order for order, but for someone to help me catch the cat.” He lost his cat.

Generally, the more special the situation, the better the reward may be. I also like to do it. I like to pick up this weird list, because ordinary food delivery is boring (most of us are boring) .

Early in the morning, the three of us vowed to set out. After sweeping the building, I found that the cat named rice cake ran to the rooftop. I closed the door and seduced it with a canned cat, it didn’t even look. I found a pair of socks and tied them up with a wire, and then I glanced at them, still motionless.

Brother, what do you want? I drove it, it never closed the door and ran to the next unit. This building has thirty-three floors of its mother! I can’t climb!

In the afternoon, we dispatched again. Five hours later, I was still holding it. Each person received 180 yuan.

The Cat Cat Squad is dispatched again. You ca n’t run away this little rice cake, right? (Photo taken on February 1)

On the way back, pass the lake big fellow. A group of hungry riders drove past a mealbox that could not be covered. I envy them for delivering food to the frontline health care professionals. The riders in the world are a family and the brothers are awesome.

The riders are chatting in the group these days. The number of people infected each day, the epidemic. Many riders have returned home, and there are also running singles. Everyone posted a photo of their family, “Eat today to eat meat and drink alcohol, no need to go out!” Some riders left home from Wuhan, were quarantined for 14 days, and had to sign. I also have a brother Huang Huang who went to work at Lei Shenshan. We had quarreled before and didn’t talk for a long time. But he still hoped that he could cheer.

4. “I saw the most authentic Wuhan”

On the evening of January 27, I lost something. Two orders were received at the time, one to the hotel and one to deliver snacks to the neighbourhood. The hotel is on the second floor, on the side of the road. I can go up in a minute or two. There are a lot of snacks, and the lunch box cannot be covered, so I just put the upper lid on it and opened the mouth. When I went downstairs, I found that a small bag of snacks was taken away. After turning around, I saw no one.

I lost more than 50 yuan. The customer called me and asked me if I would pay this money or the US group? If it is a US group compensation, he will apply for a claim, and if it ultimately causes me to suffer losses, he will not apply. I said that due to the recent epidemic, the platform policy has been relaxed, and I am not sure. I don’t know how he did it. But in the end, the platform didn’t deduct my money. Two days later, a notice was issued, and said that due to the epidemic, some compensation during this period could be waived.

I also had colleagues who lost meals on the way before delivery. I put a few meals in one order and lost one. This is normal, so be a rider. Some friends were angry, so they went to monitor and squat, and the result was very embarrassing-they caught the food stealer and were an old scavenger. What can you do Let him pay, or beat him or scold him? You can’t do anything. Finally, let him go. So I know that it doesn’t make sense to find it.

I posted a Weibo, “I hope this small bag of snacks is really taken away by those who need it. I can be happy if you can eat it. But please also open up to our rider network in the future! How difficult is Red Dust, Helping one another! “

After sending this order, I didn’t estimate the good battery. The car broke down. I pushed my car for three kilometers. Changed the battery, smoked on the side of the road, and someone upstairs behind was shouting: Wuhan, come on!

Hemp eggs, smoked his eyes.

After posting more Weibo posts, many people started following me. One morning, I helped a girl buy tincture, and in the afternoon I bought her Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, oseltamivir and amoxicillin. I put the medicine on the stairs by her door. She said, “I watched your Weibo and I cried. Many of the photos you take are the way I go every day.” She coughed, but did not have a fever, and was isolated at home. She said she was scared and cried almost every day.

I told her that it wasn’t that serious outside, as long as you took precautions, there would be no problem. You may have a cold, and even with the virus, young people will not have much problem, and so on. Look at the warm sunshine, think about this world full of fireworks, and there are so many delicious food and beautiful scenery. Wuhan is not alone, nor will you be alone. I also recommended some American dramas to her, “24 hours”, “Friends”. This is what I like to see.

I also like watching “Please Answer 1988”, but I don’t recommend this one. Because it is inappropriate at this time. It is used for memories when the years are quiet. The more you look the more sad. At this time, you should watch some intense, happy, action movies. After watching it, the one that makes you forget the reality is the best.

An electric car was stopped in the middle of the intersection. No riders were seen, no one was watching, stubbornly moving in the direction of Hankou, lonely and motionless. . (Taken on February 3)

But as a takeaway rider, I still see the most authentic part outside.

One afternoon, send the bill to Qiaoqiao Village, passing Wuchang Hospital. I saw an ambulance parked in front of the hospital, and a medical staff member in protective clothing was doing cardiac compression on the person on the stretcher. At the intersection, a middle-aged man was carrying a bag of films in his hand and was walking with an older person on his back.

At the hospital door, an aunt sitting in the sun suddenly fell to the side. A medical staff member and another passerby came to help and hugged her to the hospital.

It’s calm. The people standing around, the security guard behind the rope, and the owner of the shop behind them were very calm.

I feel as though a mountain is pressing over me.

5. “I’m ordinary and nothing special”

On that day, I helped Rongqiao City customers to buy medicines, and after a lot of toss, I bought them all. Going back and turning, I saw peach blossoms. Damn! Is peach blossom blooming? Awesome. Take a closer look, I believe in your evil, it turned out to be fake flowers tied on a branch. (Taken on February 2)

In the last few days, there have been fewer people on the road and fewer cars. Occasionally, I am passing by ambulances and transport vehicles for rescue supplies. No restaurant is open on the street. If you don’t pay attention, it is invisible. We all have rider discount meals in those take-away restaurants. They cost ten bucks and are well-trained and full. Not usually.

Now all the communities can’t be sent in. They are placed in the gate of the designated sentry box. The farthest is said to come out and take fifteen minutes. Customers also drove out to pick up meals. Wuhan is really big!

While waiting for a traffic light at the intersection that day, a big brother took Shandong scallions to speak loudly to the people next to him. I can’t remember what to say. But the spirit of waving the green onions to point the country has been deeply imprinted in my mind. I remember the back of him leaving with onions.

Out of the community at night, a puppy meets at the door. Two little eyes looked at me, pathetic. There is no owner next to it. I told it, buddy, let it be. It went aside, turned around and looked at me pitifully.

I rode away without looking back.

Even a dog has a way home. (Photo taken on February 7)

After I go home, I sometimes order something and cook a small hot pot.

Life is OK. Tired, ca n’t you eat better?
