The new favorite of workers
Hydroponic bananas become station C
The popular wind of "explosive reform" among young people has blown to the workstations, allowing many migrant workers to set up their desks independently. In addition to cute and funny knick-knacks and flowers, in March this year, a new kind of hydroponics of green plants - millet banana with stem or apple banana with stem began to rise. Different from traditional green plants, a whole green millet banana has 3 to 5 bananas on a stout stem, about 20 to 50 millet bananas, just insert it in a water bottle, hydroponic 10 to 15 days to fully ripen and eat.
Soon, "Minions" entered the major live broadcast rooms, and after a live broadcast of "Poetry and Distance", it became the C position in the "Banana Family".
Smart merchants also associate apples and bananas with the "anxiety" of migrant workers - the merchant distributes the listing of "banana green", and a string of "banana green" has become the most sought after "workstation partner" for migrant workers. Some buyers said that "raising and raising from green to yellow means 'anxiety dissipates'", which also makes raising millet bananas the latest way for young people to decompress.
It is estimated that Apple Banana would not have thought that he could be promoted to "Internet Celebrity in Fruit" in 2024 and become the most fashionable fruit with a sense of network this spring. According to the Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter, the current hydroponic banana continues to sell well on the e-commerce platform, and in the past month, a number of product links with high sales have shown that more than 10,000 people have added purchases, and there are not a few sales exceeding five or six thousand. A large number of fruit farmers and merchants have benefited from this, and one merchant from the core production area of Zhangzhou said that they have been so busy that they "only sleep five hours a day, 10,000 orders are made at sunrise, and smoke is emitted from the single machine".
"Welcome to pick up when cooked"
Hydroponic bananas make banana social
"Part-time work is suspended, let's go to plant bananas first!" On social platforms, many netizens who ordered hydroponic bananas posted their "works" and shared the experience of being a "conspicuous bag" in the office. Some people say that they bought hydroponic bananas because of the healing green, "very cute, used to regulate the mood of work", and "I feel that work is not boring".
Some people who love to raise greenery regard hydroponic bananas as their work partners, "they are very good as table decorations" and "successfully have a small office garden".
More people say that raising hydroponic bananas can not only harvest bananas, but also shorten the distance with colleagues. As the bananas ripen and so do the co-workers, they become more ripe with each other, and it takes a week to achieve a "banana social". It is not uncommon for bananas to be booked out after they arrive, and many netizens post photos of their bananas being booked by colleagues, and everyone will make wishes on bananas.
One interviewee said: "After cooking, you can also share it with your colleagues, killing two birds with one stone." "This string of 'banana green' becomes a 'banana point' when it arrives in our office, and it is finished as soon as it arrives, and it is eaten together when it is ripe, which not only divides up the anxiety, but also 'banana' to friends!"
"Firewood Water Ban" "All Things Unsouthern"
There are many kinds of "electronic ibuprofen" for office workers
There are many creative products similar to "homophonic stem vegetables and fruits", and on the e-commerce website, there is a hydroponic pineapple called "dynamic light pineapple" that debuted at the same time as "banana green", which is actually a fresh-cut black pineapple. There are also rape flowers called "Fortune Flower", the big "orange" is important, the "mang" is idle, and the "lychee" is maintained...... Almost all of these homophonic stemmed vegetables and fruits have their "fruit language", such as planting bananas is "rejecting banana green", planting pineapples is "dynamic light pine", planting small tomatoes is "salary fanfan", and planting small pumpkins is "everything is not south", the young people's stem culture has given these fruits and vegetables a new soul, which is popular among the workers' workstations and is deeply loved by the workers.
The appearance of homophonic stems and vegetables and fruits caters to the demands of young people to relax after being busy. In fact, whether it is "banning banana green" or "making money", in the fast-paced and stressful modern urban life, by buying and tasting these vegetables and fruits with beautiful meanings, these humorous homophonic stalks can provide a certain psychological buffer for the anxiety of office workers, become their "electronic ibuprofen", and satisfy their emotional value.
For example, during this year's Lantern Festival, "persimmon ruyi" dumplings can be seen everywhere on social media and in the circle of friends. People are attracted by the fun of its marketing and are willing to pay for its meaning. Similar popular homophonic stalks may be updated and replaced at any time, but the emotional feedback brought to people in the social situation at this moment provides invisible support and encouragement.
In addition, there are many ways to relieve stress among workers. For example, the "20 minutes in the park", which has been very popular recently, is an energy supply station for workers. The park has become a spiritual oasis for young people, in order to disperse the "class flavor" and start anew.
Whether it is the "20-minute park theory" that actively walks into nature, or the "ban banana green" that brings nature to the desk, it reflects that in the fast-paced era, migrant workers are becoming more and more aware of the importance of physical and mental health in a high-pressure work environment, and no longer passively accept anxiety and stress, but begin to actively find various ways to alleviate these bad emotions. This not only reflects young people's self-regulation ability, but also reflects their pursuit of quality of life and the importance they attach to mental health.
