What is a melon inspector? What skills are needed?

These days, a new profession has appeared in everyone's field of vision, and that is "melon inspector". Listening to this name, many people should understand its meaning, that is, picking watermelons. In fact, every time we buy our own watermelon, we also act as a "melon inspector", because many people like to knock a few times every time we buy watermelon, right? Actually, I don't know if this melon is ripe. Knock anyway.

But your knocking at the door is different from that of a professional melon inspector. He is a professional.

Hegel once said that it is reasonable to call it existence.

Everyone should know that the market economy has "two hands", one is the visible hand of the government and the other is the invisible hand of the market. Inspector Melon is because of this invisible hand. With the change of consumer demand, the watermelon market requires higher quality, and new occupations are constantly emerging, among which melon inspector is one.

In the past two days, the topic of "melon inspectors earn 30 thousand a month" was rushed to the hot search, and I envied crying. The melon inspector mentioned is Sun Hongkai, a native of Beiling Town, Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, which is a famous hometown of watermelon.

According to some data, Sun Hongkai has been a full-time "melon inspector" on the e-commerce platform since 20 17. He is mainly responsible for checking watermelons of melon farmers and filtering inferior watermelons. Good watermelons are sold by e-commerce everywhere.

Sun Hongkai said that at first, his hands were swollen, but he thought that since he did this job, he would be responsible for others, so he stuck to it. Sometimes I have to check two trailers of watermelons a day. There are hundreds of thousands of kilograms, and my hands are cocooned.

In fact, this profession looks simple, but the technical content is really not low.

No one wants to spend money to buy an unsweetened, raw and unqualified melon, which is the test of real kung fu. This new occupation, to put it bluntly, is to ensure the quality of watermelons and prevent raw and unqualified melons from entering the market.

Moreover, melon inspection does not mean "ripe melon". It was introduced by professionals and very particular. Don't overdo it, don't just cook it, the maturity needs to be around 85%-90%. This melon tastes the best!

Once you have quantitative indicators, do you still find it easy to check melons?

Actually, I searched some relevant information, and the melon inspector already had it. As early as 2009, Shanghai had this profession. At that time, 27-year-old Zhu became the first batch of watermelon tasters in Shanghai, that is, the "melon inspector" mentioned in the title. During the peak season, Zhu knocks tens of thousands of watermelons every day, and his right index finger will calluses and even fester.

It is true that any occupation requires skills, and the skills of melon inspectors can be said to come from experience, which is nothing more than the following three points.

Look, see if the melon is round enough and the texture is clear. The rounder the melon, the better. The clearer the melon, the better.

Second, touch, the surface is smooth, if the potholes are definitely unfamiliar, the tail depression indicates that there is a depression;

Three knocks, this is the hardest. A crisp voice is of course a good melon, while a dull voice is either immature or too familiar. But crisp and boring, no one can understand, only rely on their own experience, to constantly communicate, learn, beat in the melon shed, and then sum up their own experience.

Do you have the feeling that it's really easy to knock on watermelon, but some people have done it to the extreme, so don't underestimate your career. The ultimate in simple things is technology. what do you think?
