　　CCTV News:The 19th Academician Conference of China Academy of Sciences held its first plenary meeting in Jingxi Hotel on the afternoon of May 28th. Bai Chunli, President of China Academy of Sciences and Executive Chairman of the Presidium of the Faculty, made a work report entitled "Deeply study and implement the spirit of the 19th Party Congress and strive for the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era" on behalf of the Presidium of the 8th Faculty.

　　This academician conference is a scientific and technological grand meeting held at an important moment when the whole country is thoroughly studying and implementing the spirit of the 19 th CPC National Congress. The main tasks of the congress are to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, take Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era as the guide, focus on the development trend of the world’s science and technology frontier, focus on the strategic needs of national innovation and development, actively play the role of innovation as the first driving force and talent as the first resource, concentrate on wisdom, forge ahead, and strive to accelerate the construction of an innovative country and a world science and technology power and win the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　Bai Chunli pointed out that the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the opening meeting this morning stood in a new historical position, systematically summarized the great practice and historical achievements of China’s scientific and technological development since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, profoundly expounded the mission and task of China’s scientific and technological development in the new era, and emphasized that "China must vigorously develop science and technology and strive to become a major scientific center and an innovative highland in the world if it wants to be strong and rejuvenated". It is clearly stated that efforts should be made to support the construction of a modern economic system, enhance the ability of independent innovation, stimulate the vitality of innovation, promote the building of a community of human destiny, and consolidate the talent base for innovation and development. In his speech, the General Secretary also fully affirmed the important contributions made by the vast number of scientific and technological workers, including academicians, in realizing historic, holistic and structural major changes in China’s scientific and technological undertakings. He hoped that we would "aim at the world’s scientific and technological frontier, lead the direction of scientific and technological development, shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by history, and bravely be the vanguard of scientific and technological innovation in the new era", and put forward clear requirements for the two academies to play the role of the highest academic institutions and national high-end think tanks. The general secretary’s important speech is profound in thought, rich in content and profound in emotion, which is the fundamental follow-up of scientific and technological innovation in the new era and also points out the direction for us to do a good job in the department. We should thoroughly study and understand it, and conscientiously implement it in all the work of the department.

　　When reviewing the work in the past two years, Bai Chunli pointed out that the past two years were two years of great historical significance in the development process of the party and the country, and also two years in which China’s scientific and technological innovation developed rapidly and the construction of an innovative country achieved fruitful results; It is a two-year period in which China Academy of Sciences has carried out the "First Action" plan in depth, and major innovations have emerged continuously. It is also a two-year period in which China Academy of Sciences has continuously deepened the reform of the academician system and continuously strengthened the team of academicians and self-construction. In the past two years, the Presidium of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has United and led all academicians, accurately grasped the functional orientation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, worked hard, and made remarkable progress and achievements in improving and perfecting the academician system, promoting the construction of national high-level scientific and technological think tanks, giving play to the leading role of academics, disseminating scientific knowledge, building scientific culture and strengthening international exchanges and cooperation.

　　Bai Chunli emphasized that the Presidium of the Faculty conscientiously implemented the State Council’s "Proposal on Improving and Perfecting the Academician System", actively consolidated the achievements on the basis of a good start in the previous period, made steady and in-depth progress, and completed the overall task. In 2017, 61 academicians were newly elected, with an average age of 54, and 92% of them were under 60. The problem of rejuvenation of academicians has been solved from the source. The special recommendation mechanism for emerging and interdisciplinary disciplines, national defense and national security was further improved, and the discipline structure of the academician group was further optimized. The number of newly elected foreign academicians is the highest over the years, and the nationality distribution of foreign academicians has been further optimized. In addition, the academic department actively cooperated with the implementation of the academician retirement system, conducted research and analysis on the issues that need to be concerned and the possible impact of the implementation of the academician retirement system from the requirements of improving and perfecting the academician system and the current situation of the academician team, and actively put forward policy suggestions to the relevant departments, which received great attention from the party and the state. Recently, the State Council has issued the Notice on Issues Related to Doing a Good Job in Academician Retirement, which clearly and steadily promoted the academician retirement work, and some issues that academicians are generally concerned about have been well implemented, which fully reflects the party and the state.　

　　Bai Chunli pointed out that the department conscientiously implemented the requirements of the Supreme Leader General Secretary for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to "take the lead in building a national high-level science and technology think tank" and solidly promoted the construction of science and technology think tanks. In the past two years, the department has deployed 96 major consulting projects, and the standing committees have organized consulting research, completed 46 consulting reports and 21 suggestions from academicians, and received important instructions from central leading comrades for nearly 100 times, which provided scientific basis for the macro-decision-making of the party and the state and important support for the work of relevant departments. In the past two years, the reform of the system and mechanism has been further deepened, and the Council of Science and Technology Think Tank of China Academy of Sciences has been established as the leading decision-making body for the construction of science and technology think tanks, which has further strengthened resource integration and overall coordination; The docking and cooperation mechanism with relevant state ministries and policy research institutions has been strengthened, so that the construction of science and technology think tanks can serve the party and state decision-making more pragmatically and efficiently.

　　Bai Chunli emphasized that the department has long adhered to the concept of high-level, leading and exploratory, taking the strategic study of discipline development as the main line and taking academic journals, academic conferences and scientific and technological awards as the platform to further promote the systematization of academic leading work. Through independent deployment and joint deployment with the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the research on discipline development strategy has been continuously carried out. The research projects basically cover the main disciplines in China, which has played an important role in optimizing the layout of science and technology, leading the development direction of science and technology and improving the level of scientific research and education. At the same time, the academic vitality and influence of China Science and Science Bulletin have made a breakthrough. A multi-level and high-level academic exchange system consisting of annual academic conferences of academic departments, frontier forums of science and technology, small high-end forums and academic forums of various academic departments has initially taken shape; The quality and level of the Tan Kah Kee Science Award and the Youth Award have been continuously improved, and the authority, professionalism and fairness have also been better reflected.

　　Bai Chunli pointed out that the majority of academicians regard the dissemination of scientific knowledge, scientific methods and scientific spirit as their social responsibility, and strive to build the department into a scientific hall that holds high the banner of science and carries forward advanced culture. In the past two years, the Department has organized academicians to go deep into universities and research institutes to give lectures on "Scientific Morality and the Construction of Study Style", organized a series of activities to learn from Academician Wing Gen Lou, started the special work of oral stories of academicians, and planned and organized the publicity activities on the theme of "A Hundred Years of Scientific Life", striving to give full play to the role of academicians as models of virtue. The department pays attention to developing science education and popular science work for different needs. Facing leading cadres, mainly through the training of "scientific thinking and decision-making", support the improvement of scientific ruling ability; Facing the public, it mainly focuses on hot issues of general concern to the society and issues authoritative voices in a timely manner. In the past two years, the department has organized more than 360 reports by academicians and experts; Successfully cooperated with CCTV to shoot popular science feature films such as Revealing AIDS and Revealing Antibiotics. The scientific and authoritative science popularization work of the department has been widely recognized and praised by the society.

　　Bai Chunli emphasized that strengthening international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, enhancing China’s influence in international scientific and technological circles and promoting scientific and technological diplomacy are the important missions of the department. Over the past two years, more and more academicians have held important positions in international scientific and technological organizations, and many academicians of China Academy of Sciences have been elected as academicians of academy of sciences for the developing world and other national academies or engineering institutes. The international grand science program initiated by the consulting project of the department has had a significant impact. For example, the Digital Silk Road International Science Program (DBAR) has begun to make outstanding contributions to serving the global sustainable development and the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. The department founded the international Yanqi Lake Conference. The theme of the first conference was "Microbial Oceanography — Land and sea as a whole on carbon sinks ",the relevant achievements directly provided strong support for the writing and discussion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) marine report, and greatly strengthened China’s right to speak in the field of marine ecosystems.

　　Do not forget the initial intention of serving the country through science and technology, and keep in mind the mission of strengthening the country through science and technology. Bai Chunli pointed out that science and technology have always played an important role in the process of "standing up", "getting rich" and "getting strong" in modern China. Facing the new situation and new challenges in the development of science and technology in the new era, we should clearly understand the historical position and role mission of the department. At present, the ability of scientific and technological innovation does not meet the requirements of building a modern power, the level of scientific and technological innovation does not meet the goal of building a world-class scientific and technological power, the quality and efficiency of scientific and technological achievements do not meet the expectations of the country and people, the level and structure of scientific and technological teams do not meet the requirements of scientific and technological innovation development, and the system, mechanism and culture do not meet the requirements of scientific and technological innovation in the new era. Science and technology should support the country’s prosperity and rejuvenation, face up to these challenges and solve these problems, which is the main task of China’s scientific and technological circles at present and in the future, the focal point and breakthrough point for China Academy of Sciences to implement the "take the lead" plan and accelerate the reform and innovation, and also the important content of the work of the department. I hope that the academicians will dare to take the lead, set an example, be determined to innovate, and make suggestions and suggestions. In solving these major problems, they will be brave to be the leaders of science and technology, the promoters of deepening reform, the pioneers of innovation and development, and the builders of science and culture, so that the academician group will truly become the leader and vanguard of China’s construction of an innovative country and a world science and technology power.

　　Regarding the consideration of the next work of the department, Bai Chunli emphasized that the work of the department should be considered and coordinated under the background of the development of the cause of the party and the country, the strategy of innovation-driven development and the construction of an innovative country. It is necessary to further enhance the sense of historical responsibility and the sense of urgency of the times, keep a clear head, adhere to the problem-oriented, compare advantages, find gaps, find shortcomings and make up for shortcomings, and creatively do a good job in the work of the department with new actions and a new look. In particular, it is necessary to give full play to the exemplary role of academicians as leading talents in science and technology, promote the close integration of science and technology with economy, and better serve the construction of a socialist modern and powerful country; It is necessary to give full play to the academic leading role of the academic department as the highest academic institution in the country, observe the general trend, seek strategy and clear direction, and lead and drive China’s construction of a world science and technology power; It is necessary to give full play to the role of the department as the highest scientific and technological advisory body in the country, speed up the construction of high-level scientific and technological think tanks, and provide more high-quality decision-making basis for the party and the country; It is necessary to give full play to the main role of the academician group and further strengthen the self-construction of the department.

　　Bai Chunli pointed out that in his important speech, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly stated that he hoped that we would carry forward the glorious tradition of serving the country scientifically, pursue the truth, bravely climb the peak of the scientific spirit, be brave in innovation, be rigorous and realistic in academic atmosphere, consciously integrate our personal ideals into the great cause of national development, pursue diligently at the forefront of science, and constantly make breakthroughs in major scientific and technological fields; I hope that we care about and care for young talents, be good leaders in promoting post-school students, take discovering, cultivating and promoting young talents as an important responsibility, and provide more opportunities and a bigger stage for young talents to display their talents. We should bear in mind the entrustment and live up to the ardent hopes of the party, the country and the people.

　　At this meeting of all academicians, Bai Chunli also gave lectures to Professor Xiaodong Wang from Beijing Institute of Life Sciences, Professor Markku Tapio Kulmala from Helsinki University, Finland, Professor Paul Nurse from Francis Crick Institute in Britain, Professor Atta-ur Rahman from Karachi University, Pakistan, and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation/ Professor Valery Bondur from the Institute of Space Observation Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Jerzy Duszynski from the Polish Academy of Sciences, Professor Toshio Fukuda from Beijing Institute of Technology, Professor John Edward Hopcroft from Cornell University, Professor Yonggang Huang from Northwestern University, Professor Zhixun Shen from Stanford University, USA, Thirteen foreign academicians newly elected in recent years, including Professor James Fraser Stoddart of Northwestern University, Professor Xiao-Fan Wang of Duke University and Professor Xiaoliang Xie of Harvard University, awarded academicians’ certificates and badges.

　　The meeting was presided over by Ding Zhongli, vice president of China Academy of Sciences, and attended by more than 600 academicians of China Academy of Sciences and foreign academicians.

　　At 1: 00 pm on September 1, there were still food delivery staff wearing various overalls in the stairwell of Jinlong Building "flying" in the corridor. A delivery man took six takeaways in one hand and waited by the elevator. He told reporters that his site delivered about 800 takeaways a day on average, and if it was raining and other bad weather, the delivery volume exceeded 1,000.

　　Correspondingly-a large number of fast food boxes are thrown into the garbage every day. The reporter saw in the unsealed garbage bin that the takeaway boxes were scattered and piled up, and some had more than half a bowl of soup left. "On weekdays, an average of 17 or 8 cars of garbage are collected a day, and each car is about 30 bags of takeaway garbage."

　　According to the statistics of Ai Media Consulting, a third-party research institution, 256 million takeaways were produced every day in 2016, including at least 256 million lunch boxes and plastic bags, which will take at least 470 years to degrade after use. Besides incineration, according to statistics, about 8 million tons of plastics are dumped into the sea every year.

　　"Degradable" lunch boxes will also pollute the environment.

　　"1000 in 55 yuan, wholesale degradable lunch boxes." "Biodegradable plastics are non-toxic and harmless." In lunch box wholesale markets and online stores, such word descriptions can be seen everywhere.

　　On Taobao, the reporter saw some disposable foamed lunch boxes with the words "degradation" clearly written on them. A lunch box supplier who settled in Tmall told reporters that their sales volume is calculated by trucks, and they sell an average of 3,000 trucks a year, with 200 boxes in each car and 300 sets in each box, which can sell 180 million sets a year.

　　Because they are "degradable", most people think that these plastics can eventually be degraded in the environment, which is green and harmless, and there is little psychological burden when they are discarded. But in fact? Experts say that biodegradable plastics will not degrade in the natural environment, but will cause lasting pollution to the environment, especially the marine environment. Therefore, the widespread use of products labeled as "biodegradable" will not significantly reduce the amount of garbage entering the ocean, or reduce the physical and chemical risks brought by plastics to the marine environment.

　　"Many things called biodegradable plastics do meet the standards set by some international institutions, but this only means that they can degrade at certain high temperatures." Han Shuo, a master of materials science at Zhengzhou University and editor of Materials+WeChat in WeChat official account, said. The most commonly used plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, are not biodegradable in the ocean. It is almost impossible to achieve the specific conditions required for the degradation of some biodegradable polymers in the marine environment. For example, these polymers need to be treated at a high temperature above 50℃ for a long time before they decompose in industrial compost. There are a few very special plastics that do miraculously degrade, such as oxygen-degradable plastics, but these plastics have few uses and are more expensive.

　　In particular, Han Shuo pointed out that some surveys found that the decomposition of oxygen-degradable plastics in the marine environment is quite slow, which may take as long as five years. Moreover, the broken oxygen-degraded plastics continue to pose a threat to the marine ecosystem, and the resulting microplastics particles will be absorbed by marine organisms, resulting in the transport of harmful microorganisms, pathogens and algae.

　　In response to the quality monitoring of lunch boxes, the reporter learned that there is no standard for the specific ingredients of takeaway lunch boxes at present, and the personnel of relevant departments said that it is "non-toxic and harmless, as long as it meets food safety standards".

　　Hungry? The customer service staff of the takeaway platform told the reporter that the packaging of the takeaway platform is currently the responsibility of the merchants themselves, and the platform has no special requirements for the material and quality of the lunch boxes of the settled merchants. "Lunch boxes are sold by merchants to customers, and they are all charged and provided by the merchants themselves."

　　A Meituan takeaway rider said that the platform has no requirements for the environmental protection of lunch boxes, but "it must not contain harmful substances". For packaging, the platform requires that there should be no leakage, nor can it directly contain food in plastic bags.

　　"Recyclable" lunch boxes are mostly reduced to domestic garbage.

　　At present, there are mainly four kinds of take-away lunch boxes on the market, namely PS (polystyrene) packaging boxes, PP (polypropylene) packaging boxes, paper packaging boxes and degradable lunch boxes made of natural straw pulp or corn starch.

　　The reporter visited more than 10 merchants in the city and found that all the lunch boxes used by take-away merchants were purchased by online and wholesalers, and the material was mainly PP5 (polypropylene). The lunch box provided by a braised chicken rice merchant shows that the service temperature is "20℃-100℃", and the words "PP5", "QS" and "microwave oven permission" are also marked on it, and some merchants’ lunch boxes are also marked with the triangle symbol of "recyclable".

　　The owner of a Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou said that he didn’t know whether the lunch box was environmentally friendly, but he could guarantee that it was non-toxic and harmless. "This kind of lunch box is basically used for take-out in the market now, but to be on the safe side, we still remind customers to use it once and do not heat it." According to the boss, lunch boxes are purchased from the wholesale market, the price is one in 0.5 yuan, and the daily usage is about 50.

　　On take-away platforms such as Hungry, Meituan, etc., consumers will display the cost of lunch boxes when ordering food. Generally, according to the ordering quantity and usage, a lunch box is 1 yuan.

　　It is understood that all qualified PP5 lunch boxes have "QS" and number on them, which is equivalent to the product ID card and is also issued by the AQSIQ. This kind of product has undergone strict quality audit, that is, its raw materials, production environment and production technology, including the health requirements of personnel, are strictly regulated.

　　Marked with a triangle symbol, indicating that this material can be recycled. However, the reporter interviewed relevant departments and learned that at present, the recycling amount of plastic products in take-away garbage is extremely low, and most of the take-away garbage is incinerated. Why do lunch boxes marked recyclable end up as domestic garbage disposal?

　　Sheng Min, Secretary-General of China Renewable Resources Recycling Association Recycling Plastics Branch, said that these materials themselves do have recycling value, but the recycling price is not high. Pure polypropylene (PP) transparent lunch box, which is currently used as the mainstream lunch box, is one of the higher quality plastic materials, and the purchase price is only two or three yuan per kilogram. Moreover, after being used as take-away tableware, it is basically impossible to enter the recycling chain.

　　"From the recycling situation, no matter whether it is a scavenger or a recycling enterprise, he usually only chooses relatively simple types such as coke bottles at the front end. Such a dirty lunch box containing oil stains cannot be recycled." Han Shuo said that most of the wastes did not enter the recycling channel for reuse, but were directly incinerated. If some lunch boxes cut corners in order to simplify the process in the production stage, it will cause more pollution to the incineration treatment, so that the degradable materials themselves are actually "non-degradable".

　　It is too expensive to separate food from plastic tableware.

　　In the interview, the reporter also found that almost no one separated the remaining food in the box from disposable plastic tableware. Many discarded plastic lunch boxes contain leftover food.

　　Should waste food in takeaway garbage be separated from disposable plastic products? The staff of relevant departments said that the cost of secondary sorting and cleaning is high, and the value of recycling plastic products is limited. Therefore, most of them will not be sorted twice.

　　This statement was recognized by Fang Peng, Ph.D. in Materials Science of Northwestern Polytechnical University and a partner of Beijing Fanrui Technology Co., Ltd. He explained that once food is mixed with disposable plastic products, the cost of sorting is too high. Judging from the current situation, most of these disposable plastic tableware can not be recycled after separation.

　　At present, paper lunch boxes are the most environmentally friendly. In developed countries, paper tableware is often used for takeout. There are also some foreign fast food and baking businesses in China who choose paper take-away packaging.

　　Fang Peng said that the raw materials of paper tableware are mostly wood pulp, and then they are pressed and shaped by stamping tools, and then chemical additives are coated on the surface to prevent water seepage. At the same time, paper tableware is also harmless. In some high-end takeaway shops, they usually use this kind of tableware to package food, which looks exquisite. "But the disadvantages of paper tableware are also obvious. First, the price is high, and second, it is impossible to package soup."

　　There is also a real degradable tableware, which is mainly made of plastic, but with photosensitizer or starch added. Under the action of microbial enzymes in the natural environment, this tableware will be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water, which will not cause harmful effects on the environment. "The disadvantage is also the high price. If there is no special requirement, the merchants will not take the initiative to use it." Fang Peng said.

　　So how much pressure will the plastic lunch boxes and packaging entering the garbage disposal system bring to the environment? Fang Peng introduced that for plastic waste, incineration and landfill are still two mainstream ways.

　　It is incumbent on take-away enterprises to fulfill their environmental responsibility.

　　According to the information released by official website, the daily order volume of Meituan is 12 million, with a cumulative user of 200 million. According to the China takeaway big data released by NGO Sushe citing Hungry, the market size of China has reached 600 million. In 2016, the frequency of online take-away users’ consumption was as high as 63.3%. According to the statistics of this non-profit organization, at least 400 million takeaways "fly in the streets of China" every week, resulting in at least 400 million disposable packaging boxes and 400 million plastic bags, and 400 million disposable tableware discarded.

　　A lunch box manufacturer said that although the lunch boxes they produced were food grade, the state did not put forward the "degradable" standards or requirements for lunch box manufacturers. If we use 14.6 billion lunch boxes a year now, and each lunch box will increase the cost of 0.5 yuan, the take-away industry will spend 7.3 billion yuan more. Who will pay for these expenses?

　　"The take-away industry has changed from the Three Kingdoms to two leading companies. At this time, we should consider garbage disposal and environmental protection issues." Someone suggested this.

　　In Fang Peng’s view, if the policy level can guide and encourage enterprises that are willing to bear environmental costs not to suffer losses, they can use economic leverage to incite the enthusiasm of enterprises through the compensation mechanism, so that maintaining the environment becomes a rational choice for all parties. "Takeaway enterprises should bear the responsibility of recycling plastic lunch boxes and allocate special funds to lunch box recycling or processing enterprises according to sales." Considering the characteristics of Chinese catering, PP lunch boxes can only be used in many cases. "In terms of technology and policy, support PP lunch box manufacturers to develop degradable PP lunch box production technology, sign a recycling plan for PP lunch boxes with take-away merchants and take-away platforms, and advocate diners who use PP lunch boxes to consciously clean their lunch boxes and put them in designated recycling places to facilitate later recycling."

　　In June this year, Meituan Takeaway, China Cuisine Association and China Environmental Protection Foundation jointly launched the Green Takeaway Industry Convention (Green Ten Articles) with a number of food and beverage take-away brands, including the content of "promoting the use of green tableware", and called on the scientific research community to provide intellectual support for the industry and develop degradable and environmentally friendly lunch boxes with high quality and low price. However, at present, the implementation of the "Green Ten" can only rely on industry self-discipline, and its effect needs time to test.

　　● Reporter’s Notes

　　How to crack the garbage pollution of take-away packaging

　　In many developed countries, the food take-away industry is very prosperous. Why are there no serious take-away garbage pollution in these countries?

　　The reason is that in these countries, paper and degradable lunch boxes are the mainstream of take-away packaging. In the domestic catering industry, for the sake of cost, most merchants choose cheap plastic lunch boxes and abandon green lunch boxes such as degradable cartons. However, the manufacturing cost of plastic lunch boxes is low, but the environmental cost is very high.

　　If you only hit the board on the ordering platform, it may be biased. The defects of relevant industrial policies and the imperfect garbage recycling system have greatly aggravated the seriousness of this problem. Just as Fang Peng said, to solve the pollution problem of take-away plastic waste, it is necessary to clearly define the responsibilities of individual consumers, take-away enterprises, garbage disposal enterprises and the government, and all parties should work together.

　　The state should greatly increase the use cost of plastic lunch boxes and reduce the use cost of green lunch boxes such as paper boxes through tax leverage, so as to curb the source of take-away packaging pollution.

　　In addition, the pollution of take-away packaging has also exposed the backwardness of the current garbage recycling system. At present, our garbage disposal is still in an extensive stage, and there is no effective classified recycling system. Take-away packaging, as a recyclable resource, has not been effectively recycled, resulting in annoying garbage. It not only causes pollution, but also brings waste.

　　The take-away ordering platform needs to actively fulfill its environmental responsibilities and cannot turn a blind eye to the problem of increasing garbage. At the same time, it also needs an effective public governance mechanism under the leadership of the government for take-away packaging and garbage recycling. Only by working together can we find a way to crack the "garbage siege" of take-away packaging.

　　Specially peeling crayfish for guests, with a service charge of 15%. Recently, a restaurant in Huangpu District of Shanghai launched such a "shrimp peeling service on behalf of customers" and hired two part-time "shrimp peelers".

　　On May 23, 2018, He Nanxin peeled crayfish in the restaurant. The Paper reporter He Yingwei Intern Zhu Yushe

　　Soon after the service was launched, it quickly sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. Some netizens questioned the store’s "making gimmicks" and worried about the sanitary condition of peeling shrimp. A reporter from The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) visited and learned that two part-time "shrimpers" in this restaurant are college students. When peeling shrimps, they will wear disposable gloves and white masks, and they can sit opposite the customers to peel shrimps, or they can take them to the kitchen and serve them to the customers’ table. When business is good, a "shrimp peeler" can earn 300 yuan a night.

　　What are the food safety standards for crayfish shops to launch on-site lobster peeling service? In this regard, Zhang Lei, deputy director of the Food and Beverage Supervision Department of Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, told The Paper that peeling crayfish on the spot is similar to cutting the skin of roast duck on the spot. Shrimp peelers should hold health certificates, wash their hands and disinfect before operation (if tools are used, they should also be cleaned and disinfected), and the peeled shrimps should be eaten in time.

　　The store told The Paper that all employees in the store have health certificates, and two part-time shrimpers have also obtained health certificates, one of whom is valid from October 2017 to October 2018, and has produced an electronic certificate.

　　Part-time "shrimpers" are all female college students.

　　On May 23rd, a reporter from The Paper visited the site and learned that at present, two part-time waiters in the store are college students who work part-time. They wear disposable gloves when peeling shrimps for customers, and they don’t communicate too much. According to the store, the service will continue, and other waiters will also provide shrimp peeling service when the business is hot on holidays.

　　This restaurant, which offers the service of peeling shrimp on behalf of customers, is located in Huaihai Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai. At 18: 00 on May 23, the night market had just started. When He Nanxin, a part-time shrimp peeling waiter, arrived at the store, he put on an apron in the store first, and picked up a broom to help clean up before the customers arrived. Transparent disposable gloves and a white mask are prepared in the pocket of her apron. "This is to ensure the hygiene of peeling shrimp for customers."

　　He Nanxin is from Xinjiang. She is a senior this year. She said that she didn’t really eat shrimp since she was a child. She didn’t learn to peel crayfish until she came to this restaurant for a part-time job. "Now the peeling is becoming more and more skilled. There is nothing special about peeling shrimp, that is, there will be some pain in the fingers after working every day." She said that on weekends when business is booming, she has to peel nearly 12 pounds of crayfish every night and earn more than 300 yuan a night. "Working part-time at night will not hinder daily study, but also support herself with labor."

　　Will such service be embarrassing? He Nanxin said that in her own view, this is also the relationship between the waiter and the consumer. At work, she usually doesn’t talk to customers very much, and occasionally she talks a few words, mainly focusing on peeling shrimp. The faster she peels, the more she earns. ""Some netizens doubt our work, but I actually come to work part-time and work as a waiter. " He Nanxin said that he will continue to insist on this part-time job.

　　Hotel: Beauty is not the only criterion for recruitment.

　　On the day of The Paper reporter’s visit, a customer inquired about this service, saying that this service is quite innovative and can really save a lot of trouble, but it may be more suitable for customers who come to eat alone. Otherwise, it will be awkward for friends to have dinner and someone will sit opposite them. It will be much better if the shrimp can be peeled off and served.

　　A few days ago, this "shrimp peeling on behalf of customers" service also caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Some netizens questioned that the store was "making gimmicks" and worried about the sanitary condition of the service. Some even wondered whether there were additional services or hidden consumption.

　　"Every time a service is provided, the clerk will first explain to the customer that this service only involves peeling shrimp." Huang Meng, the manager of the store, said that this shrimp peeling service started in early May and may last until the end of September. Shrimp peeling service will charge 15% of the price of crayfish dishes as a service fee, which belongs to the shrimp peeling staff and is settled daily without going through the store account. "During the trial operation, we found that some customers wanted to play with their mobile phones while eating. Some female customers were worried that the shrimp shells were too hard and would hurt their fingers because of manicure. They all hoped that a waiter could help peel crayfish, so we wanted to launch a shrimp peeling service based on customers’ needs."

　　Huang Meng said that they were also inspired by the idea of this service. Since the barbecue can be roasted by the waiter, the crayfish can also be peeled by the waiter. At present, there are two shrimpers in the restaurant, both of whom are college students who come to work part-time. Considering the convenience and safety of part-time college students, the general working hours of shrimp peeling waiters are from 6 pm to 11 pm. Based on the customer’s demand, the shrimp peeling waiter can sit opposite the customer and peel the shrimp continuously, or take it to the kitchen and serve it after peeling. When the business is booming on weekends or holidays, other waiters will also provide shrimp peeling service, and they will also charge 15% service fee, which will be owned by the waiter.

　　"In fact, the purpose of launching this service is to let diners enjoy food better. I didn’t expect the focus of the network to be so different. We don’t use beauty as the sole criterion for recruitment, but all recruitment in the service industry is to find a good look. " Huang Meng said that this shrimp peeling service will continue at present, and efforts will be made to improve the quality of this service, and medical masks will be purchased for waiters in the future.
