"Three phones can't even handle the orders at the same time. At the busiest times, there was no time to eat. But we were really happy. Qianwen is our god of wealth for 2026!"

With the continuous order alert sounds in the store, Yang Lao Ban of Yang Pengchu's Grocery Store in Jixian County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, was busy packing eggs while smiling and talking to the reporter who came to visit.

This Spring Festival, when everyone was discussing AI large models and high-tech, a "one-sentence order" trend sparked by the Qianwen APP actually swept into various places, bringing this small shop full of daily life an unprecedented "order explosion."

Record-breaking "Opening Red":

1,300 orders in one day

The fifth day of the Chinese New Year is the day to welcome the God of Wealth. When the reporter entered Yang Pengchu's Grocery Store, the most obvious feeling was "busy." In front of the shelves, the whole family worked together, delivery riders came and went constantly, and packed goods piled up like a mountain.

"We usually only get about 20 orders a day, but after the Qianwen activity launched, we once got more than 1,300 orders in a single day!" Yang Lao Ban looked at the data on his phone, his eyes full of disbelief. "In these ten days, we received over 5,000 orders, which is seven or eight times that of last year's Spring Festival."

The astonishing sales not only made the small shop busier than ever, but also attracted the attention of platform operators. Yang Lao Ban said that at the busiest times, they even called in the Taobao Flash Sale operators to help with orders and packaging.

30 years of reputation meets "miraculous benefits":

Eggs became "hard currency"

What did people rush to buy in those 5,000 orders? Yang Lao Ban immediately answered, "Eggs! The best-selling product is eggs."

In the eyes of locals, eggs are a necessary item during the Spring Festival. Yang Lao Ban proudly said, "We have been selling eggs for over 30 years. Our eggs are fresh and of good quality, relying on word-of-mouth from the villagers. Delivery riders who come to pick up orders also help us promote it."

Good quality met with Qianwen's "miraculous benefits," directly igniting the buying enthusiasm of the neighbors. Yang Lao Ban explained to the reporter: "During the Spring Festival, the price of a plate of eggs here is about fifteen or sixteen yuan. Qianwen launched a 25-yuan free coupon. Buying one plate basically costs nothing, and buying two plates only costs a few more yuan after subtracting 25 yuan. Isn't that convenient?"

Customers recommend the boss in reverse:

The new AI life of a small town store

Interestingly, as one of the biggest beneficiaries of this "order explosion," Yang Lao Ban initially didn't even know what Qianwen was.

"We found out how to use it through the customers' words," Yang Lao Ban smiled. Young customers who came to pick up their orders taught him step by step. Just say "Qianwen, buy me eggs" in the Qianwen app, and the AI will automatically select the products, deduct the discount, and directly place the order at his store.

From the initial 25-yuan free coupons and super invitation coupons, to the current seamless "first order of the day must be discounted" campaign, Yang Lao Ban noticed that the villagers' enthusiasm for getting discounts hasn't decreased, but instead, this "one-sentence order" technology has become a daily habit. "Now using the 'first order of the day must be discounted' is quite suitable. It can reduce as low as 3.8 yuan, and everyone finds it convenient and cost-effective."

[Reporter's Note]

Previously, we thought "artificial intelligence" was a high-end term in office buildings, far from the daily lives of ordinary people. But during this Spring Festival in Jixian County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, high technology firmly took root through the sound of local dialects saying, "Qianwen, help me buy eggs."
