Entering February, the pace of the Spring Festival is closer, and the rhythm of private New Year's goods has not slowed down at all. Recently, the reporter walked into the Longcheng Huatai Agricultural and Sideline Aquatic Products Trading Center and found that many citizens have begun to purchase seafood and aquatic products during the Spring Festival. This year, the price of fresh shrimp has been reduced, hairtail fish and freshwater fish are selling well, and the merchants have sufficient stocks. In order to facilitate the public to purchase Chinese New Year goods, the market has also provided a number of convenient measures. In addition, SF Express has set up a transportation point in the market to facilitate the public to package express delivery after purchasing.
Status: Hairtail is a must-have for the Spring Festival table, and the sales are good.
Walking into the market, many citizens have finished purchasing, carrying large bags of products and leaving with a smile. In a seafood shop at the south gate, there are all kinds of fresh aquatic products and frozen aquatic products, and the rich products have attracted citizens who have just entered the market to inquire one after another. Sister Qi, who has been working here for more than 4 years, introduced that during the usual off-season, the boss of the entire store has 4 employees. "I usually come to the store by car from other places at this time, work for more than 40 days, and a week before the Spring Festival, there must be 8 employees in the store to meet the purchasing needs of the public. Sister Qi said, introducing ** to consumers who came to ask about hairtail. In recent days, whole boxes of shrimp tails, whole boxes of frozen shrimp, whole bags of shrimp, scallops with garlic vermicelli, golden pomfret, chilled yellow croaker, etc. have been popular among the public, and the volume has been very fast. Especially in 2023, the average purchase volume of loose frozen shrimp and loose shrimp tails will start at 5 catties per person, and the large amount can reach 20 catties. "Generally, there are fish and shrimp on every family table during the Chinese New Year, so the sales of hairtail fish have always been good. Sister Qi said that the best sales of fresh aquatic products are sea bass, mandarin fish, and tiger grouper. Between the 26th and 30th of the lunar month every year, the first volume of the market will explode. "When there are a lot of people, they just surround us inside, and we can't get out at all. "Sister Qi said that at the end of the day, I bought lunch and put it on the table for an hour or two, and I couldn't eat it when it was cold.
Market: Provide convenient services, and freshwater fish become the protagonists.
Luo Xincheng, general manager of Longtai Market, said that starting from December 26, 2023, the number of ** will increase suddenly and gradually increase. There is a whole box of frozen shrimp on the market, last year a box of 4 catties was sold for 120 yuan, and this year the price was reduced to 70 yuan, although there are also consumers who purchase, but the sales are not as good as freshwater fish. This year's best-selling products are hairtail fish and various freshwater fish, such as mandarin fish, sea bass, river ball, and pike, which are priced at more than 10 yuan to more than 30 yuan per catty. In addition to retail, some merchants also wholesale to major hotels in the city. "Hotels and restaurants are directly facing the people, and their demand for purchases also reflects the consumption needs of the citizens to a certain extent. Luo Xincheng said frankly that the more than 700 catties of Jiang Tuan in his shop that day were sold out early.
In the square on the south side of the market, a large truck is parked here, and merchants are unloading the seafood products that have been hauled in. Some new parking spaces have been added on the side of the big truck, and many citizens who came to purchase just parked their cars here in an orderly manner. Luo Xincheng introduced that at the end of December last year, in order to facilitate the public to park and purchase, optimize the consumption environment, the market specified a specific time for unloading vehicles, and the vehicles would leave after unloading within two hours. New parking spaces have been added to the small square on the south side of the market to provide convenient parking services for residents. In addition, not far from the south gate of the market, SF Express specially arranged a guard point here, and two courier brothers were on duty from the 27th of the lunar month until the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve, packaging and couriering the seafood products that need to be sent in the market, and the citizens directly express and mail them away after purchasing in the market, which is very convenient.
