Peeling crayfish may be an appetizing prospect

"Hello, friends, can you peel crayfish really fast? Are you the kind of person who doesn't want to eat crayfish after peeling them? If you are interested, we're hiring ... " The recent recruitment information posted by Alibaba's Hema Fresh Market outlets has gone viral. Last month, the outlets began to recruit part-time employees for stores in Changsha, Hunan province, Wuhan, Hubei province, Beijing and Shanghai, intending to hire people to peel the shells for customers. There's a strict threshold for the job - only those who can peel the shells of 1.5 kilograms of crayfish within 30 minutes would get the job. They are asked to work at least 4 hours a day, with wages up to 200 yuan ($30) a day.
