Zheng Yufei, the mother of an eight-month-old baby living in the south of Beijing, received a basket of fresh vegetables on a Monday morning after she placed an order through the messaging service platform WeChat the night before.

Liu Xin, who delivered the basket, is part of a family firm selling vegetables near Zheng's housing complex. He received 5 yuan ($0.81) extra as a delivery fee.
