- The customer ordered 76 meals to satisfy the cravings she had during isolation
- Footage shows a delivery guy ordering the breakfast items in Wuhan yesterday
- Comes as Wuhan celebrated the end of its 76-day strict lockdown on Wednesday

A Wuhan resident has ordered 76 types of breakfast all at once to satisfy her cravings as the former epicentre lifts its coronavirus lockdown.
The customer wanted to make up for the morning meals she missed during the 76-day draconian quarantine, according to the press.
It comes as the city where the pandemic began has allowed its 11million residents to travel in and out of Wuhan after nearly 11 weeks.
Social media footage shows a delivery worker ordering the items at a breakfast restaurant before he carries bags of food with a wooden pole on his shoulders yesterday.
The delivery guy, known by his surname Fu, received an order request at 6.33am on the first day of ‘unlocked’ Wuhan, Chinese media report.
A female client asked him to buy 76 breakfast meals, symbolising the number of days Wuhan residents spent under quarantine.
It took Mr Fu an hour to complete the order as most restaurants still remained close after Wuhan lifted the travel restrictions just a few hours ago.

‘I haven’t had “Guo Zao” in more than two months,’ the customer told the press. ‘I’m so happy today that Wuhan lifted the lockdown.’
‘Guo Zao’ is a local phrase commonly used to describe ‘eating breakfast’ as Wuhan is known for its vibrant food culture.
‘Today is a special occasion, I want to make up for all the breakfast I missed during the isolation,’ the resident added.
‘After this meal, our life will be better and better!’ The resident then shared the food with her family and neighbours.

But at 00.50am on Wednesday, trains carrying people out of the city began running, and major highways also began opening up as China’s lockdown on Wuhan was lifted.
Chinese state media said at least 11,000 air passengers left via Wuhan’s airport yesterday, while 55,000 boarded trains out of the city’s three railway stations.
Motorways were also jam-packed as thousands of cars queued at toll stations waiting for officials to open expressways at the stroke of midnight.
