Of course it’s not earth-shattering, even a little trivial:
Kill mosquitoes.
But she has been extinct for 13 years.
The aunt’s name is Pu Saihong, an employee of a RT-Mart supermarket in Shanghai. She has killed 20,000 mosquitoes after 13 years of work.
In the store where she was there, even in the meat, fruit and vegetable areas where insects were most likely to be infested, in the summer when they walked in and stood bare-legged for half an hour, there was no mosquito to bite.
She also researched a set of “Mosquito Soldiers”, in different seasons of the year, at different time periods of the day, the life habits, range of activities, and killing tactics of mosquitoes are clearly mastered.
In this era when there are big melons at every turn, it is not surprising that an ordinary person does ordinary things.
After reading Pu Saihong’s work trajectory in its entirety, I was shocked.
This ordinary supermarket aunt taught me the best lesson.
Aunt Pu is a special type of job in RT-Mart Supermarket: a cleaner.
As the name suggests, it’s cleaning management in the store.
She is responsible for the prevention and control of pests, such as mosquitoes and flies.
This position is so low that many people are probably hearing about it for the first time.
Those who recruit are aunts of a certain age, with low educational requirements and average salary.
Can humble work, pu sai red did not perfunctory sloppy.
When she first started her job, the supermarket gave her the simplest plastic fly swatter.
As long as no mosquitoes gather in front of customers, we’ll be fine.
But Pursai Hong is not content with that.
Fighting mosquitoes is easy, but she wants to treat the symptoms, not the cause.
First we studied mosquitoes.
From early morning to late night, Pu Saihong watches the mosquitoes’ movements and behavior characteristics, and carefully records them.
Over time, really summed up a set of “work and rest rules” :“6:00, garden and green belt, full of energy, difficult to hit…” “Nine o ‘clock, waterlogging, spawning…” “15:00, shade, nap…”
Different seasons lead to different habits.
Even the mosquito’s favorite temperature and humidity ranges are accurate.
Since the beginning of the fly swatter, she has tried more than 50 kinds of tools, physical, chemical…
There were not enough ready-made pest control tools on the market, so she came up with an idea:
Put water mixed with dishwashing liquid in a basin, then smear honey on the basin.
Mosquitoes are attracted by the sweet taste and soon become trapped in the sticky foam.
Mosquitoes under her eyes are wiped out, and Pusai Hong is still thinking about preventing and controlling pests in the “future”.
She studied four stages of mosquito growth and found that even during the winter months, when mosquitoes rarely appear, there is a risk of hibernation.
Therefore, prepare for a rainy day, early strangle the overwintering bug in the cradle.
