At the time of the cold current hitting Hong Kong, the last day of 2020, and dine-in in the evening market, the Yang Uk Road Market was crowded at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and the first floor selling seafood and the second floor of frozen meat were crowded.
Among them, the famous "Sanchang Beef" and "Zhao Kee Beef" on the second floor have more than a hundred people in line and circle the whole market. However, the public wants to fight the fire in the cold winter and avoid the risk of epidemic disease. Try the fat cow and insist on queuing.
Regarding the situation in the market, Ms. Li complained, "It's really too crowded. I haven't seen it. It's so embarrassing!" She pointed out that a stall owner occupied the aisle and filled it with goods, causing congestion. She believed that the FEHD managed Bad.
"Going in is like fighting, Murenxiang must go back first!"
She revealed that it takes more than an hour to queue up to buy beef, but only to get a chip, you still have to wait two hours, and you can get beef at 6 o'clock in the evening. "It takes a few hours for the remaining line to buy beef. He simply doesn't have enough time to cut it, so I don't want to make money." She estimated that today the public is rushing to buy seafood and beef, "All are robbed, and the family should not buy it first."
"There are too many people to put masks on masks."
Give up beef and switch to seafood pot
Ms. Lin said that tonight, she will count down the kiln with 10 friends on the New Year's Eve, but under the ban on dinner in the evening market, she has no choice but to buy ingredients in the market.
However, she pointed out that a few months ago, the beef stalls were unstoppable. They did not expect that there would be a long queue today. "There are so many people with masks and masks." So they gave up the beef side stove and switched to seafood pots. There’s no platoon, Zhongzheng Jianjian (beef shop) is happy?"

Another Ms. Li gave up the line and switched to another frozen meat shop to buy frozen fresh beef.
When asked why she gave up decisively, she expressed concern that the crowd would gather and be vulnerable to the virus. "You see that we are so far away, and it's so awkward." But she still misses Sanchang beef restaurant and praises the two. The beef in the store is fresh.
She explained that the shop buys 3 cows by itself every day, allowing customers to purchase different parts, with more varieties than ordinary beef shops.
The clerk persuaded customers to give up buying cattle: how long do you expect to be
Later, the reporter squeezed to the Sanchang beef shop several times. The clerk was too busy to score and persuaded the customers to give up the line, saying, "Look at how long the line is, don't line up, let's wait in line for the day." All the stalls in the market are full of customers, and the fresh pork stalls less than 10 meters apart are filled with water.
The shopkeeper revealed that today's business volume is average, and he believes that the cost of fresh pork has been rising from more than 1,000 yuan to about 3,000 yuan, which will reduce the number of people buying pigs.
"Manually chasing it to the point where the inflationary food does not rise, if people eat less food, they will naturally have less income." He also thinks that Hong Kong people have a strange mind and are not afraid of virus queuing.
"Isn't this market normal? The people line up all the clock to arrange the photos, so why don't the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department deal with the people?"
Western restaurants take out more than half less than Christmas Eve

"It’s also not enough (at night) at 6 o’clock. There is a long queue on Christmas Eve. I’ll know if I see something tonight. There is no way to eat. Even if you eat, you can only eat two people. , The weather is freezing again, I understand that people will buy and return to the side stove." He continued, under the prohibition order, it does have a certain impact on the restaurant.
Mr. Gao, his wife and his two children came to buy a set meal. He said that he could not go out to celebrate during the epidemic, which made the originally more western holiday eclipse. He decided to buy a set meal and go home with his family to celebrate the coming of the new year. He said that he just came to the restaurant after shopping and said that the price was acceptable, so he decided to buy it and taste it at home. "But the family is used to it, and the food in the house is not much taste, but it may be frozen." He hopes that when the new year comes, the epidemic will subside and everyone can return to normal life.
