Is Jiagu finally going to produce seafood?" Xiao Ziquan, the purchasing supervisor of the Shanghai Snow Mountain Hotel, asked on the spot after landing on Pishan Island, not caring about enjoying the beautiful scenery of the island.

He Lei, who came to receive him, is the general manager of the operation of Pishan Island and its affiliated sea areas, who was poached from the hotel industry by Jiagu, and is also an old friend of Xiao Ziquan.

"Yes, our fishery is about to produce its first catch, so we asked everyone to come over for a quality assessment to determine the purchase intention. He Lei said with a smile.

"Okay, I can finally see aquatic products appear on Jiagu's product list!" Xiao Ziquan stroked his palms and laughed.

"Yes, we've all been waiting for this day...... "The crowd echoed.

In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, seafood is recognized as an indispensable ingredient for banquets.

This time, there are 21 purchasing representatives of high-end hotels and restaurants in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, all of which are members of the Jiagu High-end Catering Ingredients Supply Alliance.

These restaurants and hotels that join the food supply chain of Jiagu are all leaders in the local high-end dining industry. Whenever a new high-end ingredient is on the market, we invite representatives to visit the food production base to evaluate the quality of the product from the source.

Previously, the high-end ingredients supplied by Jiagu, such as special poultry, high-end pork, high-grade blueberry fruits, etc., left a deep impression on Xiao Ziquan and them.

And they also heard that Jiagu has begun to enter the beef market and has cultivated a "killer feature" of high-quality beef cattle, and now it has begun to upgrade the vegetable industry...... This makes them, who mainly play the seafood brand, pay more attention to Jiagu's actions in the field of aquatic products.

It can be said that based on the reputation of Jiagu, they all came with great expectations.

He Lei felt their scorching mentality, and without saying a word, he led them directly to the Jiagu Fishing Ground.

"This is the ...... of Kagaku. "Xiao Ziquan and the others were a little strange, because except for a few faintly visible floats on the sea, there were no familiar breeding cages floating on the sea.

"In fact, we build marine ranches, not only for breeding, but also to restore the ecological environment, conserve natural resources, and create a marine fishery ecological base with excellent environment. He Lei said as he asked his fellow technicians to put the cable-controlled underwater robot into the sea.

The technician shuttles the underwater robot on the ship, Xiao Ziquan and others can be next to the real-time monitoring equipment display on the ship, through the video probe of the underwater robot, you can see the rich "underwater forest" in the underwater near-shore area, the invertebrate and shellfish creatures such as sea cucumber and abalone, as well as the precious fish species such as large yellow croaker and flounder that swim by.

"The Jiagu Fishing Ground is not small, and what we see now is only a tenth of it. Seeing Xiao Ziquan and others who couldn't take their eyes off him, He Lei said with a smile: "In the sea area of more than 30,000 acres, from near to far, our fishing ground has set up four 'breeding belts'. ”

"The shallow water pastures near the island are reasonably laid out with reefs and cement prefabricated parts to create a coral reef area for sea cucumbers and abalone to gather and grow, and then go deep into some sea areas, which is a seaweed growth area such as kelp and wakame, which acts as supplementary feed for sea cucumbers and abalone, and also attracts a large number of small fish, shrimp and plankton to ......grow here."

"Going deeper, there are the growing areas of large yellow croaker and cold-water bottom-dwelling flounder that inhabit the middle and lower layers of the seawater, and the fish excrement is the bait of the sea cucumber and promotes the growth of seaweed...... and the outer layer is the spectacular 'giant algae forest', which not only provides space for the growth of marine organisms, but also adds a layer of protection to the fishing grounds."

I don't know how to do it!

Xiao Ziquan and others couldn't say where the specific cattle fork was in the Jiagu Fishing Farm, but for this original ecological fishery that basically abandoned cage farming, they all had the idea of "wow, it looks really cow fork".

Of course, for ingredients, no matter how good the growing environment is, it can't compare to the word "delicious".

After inspecting the production environment, the focus of the evaluation is to try it!

As you can see from the seafood catalogue provided by Jiagu, there are not many seafood varieties to choose from, but there is no doubt that everything is a high-quality product!

The first is the main product, large yellow croaker.

According to He Lei's introduction, the big yellow croaker in the Jiagu Fishery is basically farmed in imitation of wild big yellow croaker; Xiao Ziquan will not trust the seller's words, but his eyes and mouth will not deceive him.

The color is golden, fusiform, the gills are bright red, and the garlic cloves are ...... Judging from the appearance, it is indeed comparable to the wild large yellow croaker.

Wild large yellow croaker travels in the deep sea for many years, and must avoid the pursuit of natural enemies at any time, and its movements are fast and agile, so its body is slender, the curve is smooth, and the fish belly is firm. The farmed large yellow croaker lives in a cage, has a leisurely life, is fatter, and the fish belly is more swollen - compared with the Jiagu large yellow croaker, at least it proves that it has sufficient exercise.

Another product, the meat is delicate and tender, very rich in the freshness of the sea, and it instantly evokes the good memories on the tip of Xiao Ziquan's tongue - he is a native of Zhoushan, Jiangnan Province, and in his impression, the wild big yellow croaker is this flavor!

He subconsciously assessed the price and burst into tears. Today, when the wild yellow croaker is almost extinct, the "wild" big yellow croaker in Jiagu is at least a few hundred yuan per catty!

This is followed by flounder.

Flounder is also known as flounder in China, which is not rare. However, such a large flounder is extremely rare.

Xiao Ziquan looked at the flounder, which was at least three or four catties, and was about to tear up again.

——Big flounder is the signature dish of their Snow Mountain Hotel, it is usually difficult to have such a big flounder, at least sixty or seventy yuan per catty!

After all, growing in its native environment, Jiagu flounder is also a farmed fish, but it can be regarded as a substitute for wild flounder, okay?

And that abalone!

The abalone species cultivated in the fishery of Jiagu is Jipin abalone, which is known as the world's three most famous abalones along with hemp abalone and net abalone.

In the market, net abalone is expensive because of its size, and ordinary diners cannot consume it, so Jipin abalone is the most popular in the market.

In the pursuit of "head" abalone world, large abalone will always be favored than small abalone - the domestic assessment of abalone quality grade according to the number of heads, the so-called "head" refers to a Sima Jin (about 0.6 kg) in the size of the number of abalone, such as 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, etc., the fewer the number of heads means that the size of the abalone, the more expensive the price, that is, the so-called "it is difficult to buy two abalone".

The head of Jiagu Jipin abalone is about 30 heads, which seems to be of a low grade. But, you just have to think about how long the Jiagu Fishery has only been established, at best, it will only be more than two years, to have this head, Xiao Ziquan just wants to offer his knees to Jiagu.

Take a closer look, Jiagu Jipin Bao Bao body is uplifted, shaped like ingots, golden in color; fine taste, strong and fragrant, delicate and chewy, top grade!

Xiao Ziquan was in tears again, except for imports from island countries, where can you see this kind of quality Jipin abalone in China? Even if it is a little smaller, well, I'm afraid it costs two or three thousand yuan a catty!

Moreover, abalone is extremely "squeamish" and has high requirements for the environment, and it will be "wiped out" if it is not careful, which also proves the superiority of the environment of Jiagu Fishing Ground.

......

The quality and flavor of every Jiagu seafood meet Xiao Ziquan's expectations. Well, it's just that the price is not expected to be very good.

Even if it is only one bite, Xiao Ziquan knows that the seafood that comes out of Jiagu adheres to the consistent high quality of the Jiagu system.

From his professional point of view, once this delicious seafood hits the market, it will definitely cause a violent food hurricane!

Almost in their hearts, other purchasing representatives who tasted Jiagu seafood also couldn't help but express various admiration.

From the perspective of business negotiations, it is undoubtedly a way for them to put themselves at a disadvantage by openly expressing their sincere love for these products before entering into supply negotiations.

However, the excellent quality of Jiagu seafood conquered their stomachs and hearts in an instant!

After Xiao Ziquan and He Lei, who was still smiling, glanced at each other, they also smiled helplessly.

It doesn't matter, the so-called negotiation is actually nothing to talk about, Jiagu has always been in a strong position, the product is in short supply, and there is a ball of negotiation.

What's more, the customer groups that do high-end catering themselves are all big customers who are willing to spend money, and they are not afraid that the ingredients are expensive, but they are afraid that the ingredients will not be brilliant.

After reaching the conclusion, the representatives of each restaurant did not care about enjoying the rare beauty of Pishan Island, but began a fierce competition, combined with the actual needs of their own restaurants, and finally signed a supply agreement with Jiagu for high-end seafood.

Of course, everyone is still unsatisfied. There is only one fishing ground in Jiagu, and the yield is still too low, and as soon as everyone divides up, there will be three melons and two dates left. What's more, Jiagu also set aside a third of the share for Pishan Island's own use, which made these representatives even more disgusted - you haven't even opened for business, so you have occupied the best resources, which is too much.

But in any case, to get the first catch of Jiagu Fishery, these 21 restaurants can't wait to launch "Jiagu Seafood" to test the waters.

These high-end restaurants all have their own unique skills in seafood cooking techniques, and the excellent quality of Jiagu's seafood will make diners swallow their tongues.

The delicious name of "Jiagu Seafood" immediately spread in the circle of food lovers.

Due to limited production, restaurants did not get much share, so they had to limit sales, but this measure has aroused the popularity of diners, and each restaurant has queued for at least a month to order Jiagu seafood.

As soon as the news spread, other members of the Jiagu High-end Catering Ingredient Supply Alliance expressed their dissatisfaction to Jiagu - why are they not qualified to purchase Jiagu seafood?

The senior management of Jiagu hurriedly stated that the first Jiagu fishery was just a test of the water, and Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry would expand the scale of seafood breeding and increase the supply, which would appease the buyers.

Seeing that the benefits are so good, Jiagu naturally has no objections to expanding the scale of marine aquaculture. As a result, Wang Yuye officially proposed to Qi Zheng that the group should increase investment in marine aquaculture.
