食品厂工人发明小龙虾清洗机
A worker at a food factory in the city of Honghu in Hubei Province has invented a washing machine for quickly cleaning crayfish.
湖北洪湖某食品厂的员工发明一台可以快速清洁小龙虾的机器。
Zhang Kaiwei partnered with washing machine factories to produce 10 tailor-made washing machines, after he spent 3 years developing his idea.
"It only takes 3 minutes for each of the washing machines to clean 50 kilograms of crayfish, and 99 percent of them are still alive after being washed," said Zhang, who is also a crayfish feeding expert.
He's received orders for his invention, along with positive feedback through his shop on Taobao.
Crayfish have become increasingly popular in China in recent years. The China Society of Fisheries says that the country produced 1.12 million tons of crayfish in 2017.
