After riding 500 kilometers, 173 orders were sent, and the reporter sent takeaway to experience the five flavors of the long holiday
In the past Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, the reporter of the Yangzi Evening News Ziniu news cycled more than 500 kilometers and delivered 173 orders of takeaway, realizing the hardships of the takeaway brother. The reporter braved the rain to deliver milk tea to the construction engineering company next to Niushou Mountain, and also went to Sanqiao Wetland Park to deliver camping ingredients for foreign tourists on the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and crossed the Jiajiang River many times to deliver supper to the citizens. The reporter observed that the number of orders sent to construction sites, parks, and subway stations has increased significantly. These orders are far away, off-road, and difficult to deliver. When the reporter finished work late at night, he was also cared for by restaurant owners and roadside stall owners many times, which made the reporter feel warm and warm.

1. More than 10 takeaways were sent to the construction site, and the truck driver ate in the car
At 6:21 p.m. on September 29, the reporter received an order from the platform to pick up the food from the braised chicken and rice (Gemdale Central Store) and deliver it to a tram limited company near Exit 8 of Yuzui Subway Station, about 4.2 kilometers apart. When the reporter finished picking up the food and prepared for delivery, he saw an order for Exit 8 of Yuzui Subway Station, but he grabbed the order directly by the way. At this time, the platform sent another order to a construction site at the intersection of Baoshuang Road and Tianbao West Road in Yuhuatai District.
At 7 pm, the reporter finished delivering the second order from Exit 8 of Yuzui Subway Station and was ready to rush to the construction site where the customer was located. The reporter immediately panicked after seeing that the two places were about 4.1 kilometers apart from the navigation. There were still 3 minutes to time out, so he had to bite the bullet and follow the navigation. When he got closer, he found that there was a cement road under the bridge. The reporter walked about 100 meters in the dark, and he could vaguely see something in the shape of a ladder. When he got closer, he found that it was a step. The reporter pushed the electric car along the narrow slope next to the steps and slowly walked forward. When he saw the bright light, he turned to the Tin Hau Bridge. The reporter turned two or three corners on the bridge before pushing the electric car down the steps at the other end of the bridge. When he went down the steps, he also turned several corners. As soon as the reporter got off the bridge, it was pitch black in front of him again, and he could only identify the concrete road by the dim light of the electric car. After getting off the bridge, the reporter walked all the way along the potholed path next to the Qinhuai New River, and the road ahead became narrower and narrower, and some places were still dirt roads. The reporter drove forward for five or six minutes and turned more than 10 turns before seeing the construction sites on both sides.
When the reporter delivered the takeaway to the customer, the platform showed that it had been 18 minutes overtime. The reporter felt guilty and kept apologizing to the other party. The other party also comforted: "It doesn’t matter, the place is difficult to find, and it is at night. Everyone understands, it would be nice if you could deliver it."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday, the reporter sent more than 10 takeout orders to the construction site or the company. Every time they arrived at the construction site, the workers were already waiting at the door. One worker told the reporter: "In order to send the children to school, they usually eat at the construction site canteen. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they ordered more than 20 yuan of Malatang."
On the evening of the 5th, the reporter received an order to be sent to the entrance of Yangzijiang Avenue. Since this place is close to the construction site, the reporter thought that the worker had written the wrong location. When calling to confirm, he learned that the other party was a large truck driver who temporarily stopped in Nanjing to rest. The truck driver said on the phone: "This is ordered by my daughter. It doesn’t matter if it is earlier or later. Don’t worry on the road and pay attention to safety."
2. Camping and barbecuing have become a trend, and they rush to the riverside to deliver ingredients to tourists on rainy nights
At 7:02 p.m. on September 30, the reporter received an order from a hot pot barbecue food supermarket on Wuhou Street, Jianye District. The delivery fee was 8.5 yuan, and it was delivered to the Finless Dolphin Plaza in Sanqiao Wetland Park, 5.2 kilometers away. The reporter specially checked the map before departure, and thought that the destination must cross the Qinhuai New River, pass through Baoshuang Bridge, and get off the stairs. During the actual delivery process, the reporter found that the resistance was even greater, and there were many construction sites. There were many construction vehicles parked on the road next to the construction site.
At 7:31 p.m., the reporter finally arrived at the finless porpoise square in Sanqiao Wetland Park, shared the location with WeChat by phone, and found the customer. When the customer received the barbecue ingredients and grill from the reporter, they kept thanking: "Please, please send it all the way!" The customer who originally ordered came to Nanjing from Yiwu, Zhejiang to visit, camped at the finless porpoise square in Sanqiao Wetland Park in the evening, tasted the duck blood fans in Nanjing that day, and liked Nanjing’s food very much.
The reporter noticed that during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, Riverside Park has become a good choice for tourists from other places and Nanjing citizens to clock in. The reporter went to Yuzui Wetland Park, Sanqiao Wetland Park Finless Dolphin Square and Hexi City Ecological Park to deliver more than 10 orders of takeaway, and only on October 4 at noon, it was sent to Yuzui Wetland Park three times. In Yuzui Wetland Park, a variety of snack cars have attracted tourists from all over the world. Many families ride bicycles in the park to enjoy the scenery everywhere. There are 20 or 30 tents on the grass alone.
I ran more than 500 kilometers in 3 or 8 days, and I was often moved during the delivery process
On the early morning of October 5, after the reporter finished work, he met a boss selling fried skewers near Hexi Gemdale Plaza, as well as a security guard from a nearby community. The reporter handed the selected skewers to the boss and said, "Roll me two cakes, one is not enough to eat!" After hearing that there were cakes, the security guard next to him also said to the boss, "I will also add two more cakes, how much is it?" The owner of the fried skewers stall said, "No need, I will give it to you." When the reporter said that he wanted to pay, the boss also said, "I don’t want the money, and I will give it to you. It is not easy for everyone to work outside, they are all brothers." Hearing the boss’s words, the reporter and the security guard quickly thanked the owner of the fried skewers stall.
In the past 8 days, the reporter cycled more than 500 kilometers and delivered 173 takeaways, generating 1165.3 yuan in delivery income and 55 yuan in activity income. Three orders were deducted 9.74 yuan by the platform for overtime, and one customer was dissatisfied by the platform. 3 yuan was deducted, and 8-day insurance premiums were deducted 20 yuan. A total of 1187.56 yuan was earned.
The reporter started to deliver food on the evening of September 28, and the working hours are from 10 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to 1 am the next day. Although the reporter may feel frustrated when the order is overdue or receiving bad reviews from customers, it is with the help of these strangers around him that people no longer feel cold in the early morning rain. Every corner of society is full of care, so that everyone who works hard for their dreams will not feel lonely.
