Chapter 605 Seafood Purchase

Early the next morning, Xiao Peng came to the fishery exhibition located in the new international expo center of the magic capital, the scale of the fishery exhibition is still very large, 1-5 halls are all fishery exhibition sites.

Xiao Peng also saw the booth of the Four Seas Fishery, in Hall 2, which is the International Pavilion of Aquatic Seafood. Feng Jianting and the two of them made it look like a huge booth.

It's really not cheap here, more than 2,000 yuan per square meter, and all the chairs and tables have to be rented, so this is also the time to show the strength of the company. Feng Jianting and a group of salespeople in suits and leather shoes were distributing promotional materials there. A look of serious work.

Xiao Peng didn't say hello to them, but walked around by himself, whether it was Hall 1 or Hall 2, that was Xiao Peng's purpose, to find new kinds of seafood for Qianliyan. After walking a few steps, Xiao Peng first came across the target seafood he was interested in: the Pacific submarine clam.

This name is a bit of a mouthful, and many people may not be familiar with it when they hear it, but it has another name that is famous: geoduck!

Speaking of geoduck, many people are familiar with many kinds of bivalve shellfish can be commonly known as geoduck, the most common of which is also the largest category, is the mud clam, and the Chinese people are most familiar with the Pacific mud clam. Many people look at the Pacific Sludge Clam and first sigh at its dirty appearance: it looks too much like a man's thing. However, although it looks very gentlemanly, it belongs to the genus Goddess Clam, so it also has a wonderful Chinese name, called 'Elegant Goddess Clam'------ which means that the goddess can't do without men's things???

Native to the coast of Vancouver, Canada, the Pacific mud clam is the largest known burrowing mud-dwelling bivalve shellfish. The shell is about 20 centimeters long, but its siphon can stretch up to more than a meter long! A geoduck can grow up to more than four kilograms!

Geoducks prefer to inhabit the muddy shallow sea floor or intertidal zone, and can bury themselves in the mud and sand at a depth of one meter, and feed by sticking out their thick siphons. Moreover, geoduck is extremely fecundive, individual eggs can reach tens of millions, and the life span is very long, usually up to 100 years! A pound of a few hundred dollars. And the reason for this is because catching geoduck is not easy, it is really a manual work.

After all, geoduck is buried deep under the sediment, catching geoduck needs to use high-pressure-water-gun to wash away the mud and sand up to one meter thick above the geoduck, until the geoduck is dug out, and for the geoduck that inhabits the seabed, all this must be completed in the state of diving! And after the diver catches the geoduck underwater, it will be put into the net pocket with him, because the shell of the geoduck is very thin, so the number of geoduck caught in the sea each time is limited, to prevent the shell of the geoduck from being squeezed and broken, which increases the fishing cost even more.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the omnipotent Chinese foodies. The earliest Pacific mud clams lived in North America, and the local population did not like and did not know how to eat this strange-looking shellfish. I don't know when Asians fell in love with this shellfish, and in the following nearly 30 years, Asian countries led by the Wa Kingdom, the Plastic Surgery Country and the Chinese People's Republic of China caught a large number of edible geoducks, and now the wild geoducks on the North Pacific coast are on the verge of extinction.

But fortunately, the basic logic of foodies is that the wild is quickly fished out and start breeding, now the ivory mussel breeding technology has tended to be perfect, geoduck breeding mainly has intertidal culture and subtidal culture two kinds, because the intertidal breeding density is larger, and the growth rate is fast, so most of them take this method. However, this method is harmful to the marine environment, so some countries have banned it. Subtidal farming, on the other hand, is more like a supplement to natural resources, and the seedlings of geoduck are scattered in the waters where they are allowed to be fished, which is similar to that of wild ivory mussels, but the difficulty of fishing is much higher than that of intertidal culture!

Xiao Peng wants to use this method to put seedlings in the Qianliyan Fishery.

In Huaxia and Wa countries, the most common is not the Pacific mud clam, but the plastic surgery country mud clam. This kind of mud clam looks very similar to the Pacific mud clam, but it is much smaller, and the yield is also high. However, regardless of whether it is a plastic surgery country mud clam or a Japanese country mud clam, it is smaller than the real Pacific mud clam in terms of shape!

However, in view of the fact that the mud clams are not sold to the outside world, Xiao Peng also wants to get the geoduck to Qianliyan to raise it well, don't you go to the country of the Japanese to sell geoduck? When Lao Tzu raises it, the best geoduck is in China, you ask us to buy it------ then it depends on our mood, if we don't sell it to you, we won't sell it to you! You bite me!

Not only did he fall in love with the ivory mussels, but also the seafood that Xiao Peng fancied and the horse dung sea urchins, although there were horse dung sea urchins in Qianliyan, but there were not many of them, so he simply made another batch of seedlings and put them back.

Sea urchins are an ancient species, surviving for hundreds of millions of years, and they have survived to this day, perhaps because of their diversity, widely distributed in oceans around the world! They can be found from shallow to deep seas, this horse dung sea urchin is a small sea urchin, only five or six centimeters in size. The surface is densely covered with spines five or six millimeters long, mostly dark green, but also grayish-white and russet. In short, from a distance, it looks like a pile of dried horse manure, hence the name.

However, the meaning of the name of horse dung sea urchin in Latin is 'the most beautiful', and I don't know if it is a matter of aesthetic difference between the East and the West.

The name of the horse dung sea urchin is hard to hear, but its sea urchin yellow makes people obsessed, and the touch and surging taste of the tip of the tongue are really indescribable. However, I am afraid that what people don't expect is that the sea urchin yellow that everyone usually eats is actually the raw - colony-glandular of sea urchin. Therefore, both male and female sea urchins have a golden and attractive sea urchin yellow during the breeding season. So it's all delicious. Xiao Peng also saw several other types of sea urchins, such as the Ezo horse dung sea urchin and the light echinocococcus sea urchin from the Wa Kingdom, as well as the red sea urchin.

However, Xiao Peng only chose horse dung sea urchin and red sea urchin in the end. Ezo horse manure sea urchins grow better in cold waters. And the light echinococcus sea urchin is indeed a good sea urchin, there are a lot of breeding in Dalian, but Xiao Peng does not want to put this kind of sea urchin in Qianliyan, the distance is very simple, the spines are too long! That is simply a diver's nightmare, Xiao Peng will not go to cage, in the future with this thing, that pair of fishing geoduck is more difficult, and red sea urchin, is a smaller sea urchin, sea urchin yellow thin and flat, but the taste is very rich and sweet.

However, the yield of red sea urchins has always been a problem, which is why most farmers do not consider red sea urchins, and low yields naturally mean low profits. Xiao Peng doesn't worry about this, with the big killer weapon of 'Lizhong Wu', coupled with the abundant food in the Qianliyan Sea Area, are you still afraid that the yield of this red sea urchin will not be raised?

Xiao Peng also thought about introducing clams, after all, the freshest clams in the world, the taste is extremely delicious, and the clam sushi eaten at Ono Jiro made Xiao Peng unforgettable. But considering that clam farming is already too large-scale, and northerners prefer to eat clams, plus Xiao Peng has decided to introduce geoduck, let's forget about clams first。。。。。。

But Xiao Peng also found a better seafood: sea cucumber, to be precise, imitation sea cucumber.

Sea cucumber has been one of the favorite seafood of Chinese people since ancient times. It is known as one of the 'Eight Treasures of Seafood'. There are more than 1,000 kinds of sea cucumbers in the world, with various forms and rich colors, and they are found in various seas, and in terms of appearance, they can be roughly divided into two kinds of sea cucumbers, one is smooth on the back, called light cucumber, and the one with thorns on the back is called spiny cucumber.

Imitation stinging cucumber, that is, the 'stinging cucumber' in everyone's mouth. In China, Dalian and Yantai are famous for their imitation cucumbers.

Don't look at the word "imitation" in imitation of sea cucumber, you think that people are counterfeits, it is almost the most mainstream edible sea cucumber on the market. It is known as the 'crown of ginseng' and is highly sought after by diners.

In the past, it was not easy for ordinary people to eat imitation stinging cucumber at home, in addition to being hyped up by the hype, their own delicate is also one of the important reasons, after the imitation stinging cucumber leaves the seawater, it will slowly dissolve the skin in a few small things, that is, 'autolysis', and finally become a puddle of glue, which is due to the autolysin enzyme in the imitation of stinging ginseng. In order to preserve the ginseng body, fishermen often add salt and dry it to prevent it from dissolving. So if you want to eat fresh imitation sea cucumber, you can only eat it in the north. However, now Baodao and Fujian have overcome this problem and successfully bred imitation sea water with low-temperature seawater. The large-scale imitation sea cucumber breeding industry has gradually made the imitation sea cucumber enter the dining table of thousands of households.

However, whether it is dried or fresh, whether the imitation stinging cucumber is delicious or not, it all depends on the cooking technology. Because the imitation stinging cucumber itself has no taste, but has a fishy smell. When firing, you also need to master the heat, and be responsible for the taste like chewing wax. Many people think that sea cucumbers are not delicious, in fact, the reason is not the sea cucumber itself, but the chef's cooking level------ if the cooking skills are good, it is delicious, and if the cooking skills are poor, it is a plate of rubber.

The representative work of Lu cuisine, the scallion roasted sea cucumber, solves this problem very well: the sea cucumber is disemboweled, cut into ginseng strips, blanched in chicken broth, stir-fried with green onions, then added cooking wine and soy sauce, poured into the broth and simmered, and finally thickened the pot, which can be said to be the best way to eat sea cucumber, although it destroys the nutrition of sea cucumber to a certain extent, but it can make the taste of sea cucumber more delicious.

Xiao Peng just wanted to talk to them about buying seedlings, but found that there was a Canadian manufacturer next to him, and the LOGO on the field looked quite familiar, Xiao Peng recalled for a long time, and then remembered: Wharton Fishery! Nelson's fishing company! They also participated in this fishery exhibition!

Xiao Peng became interested and got a copy of the promotional materials. Unexpectedly, the main product of Wharton Fishery is very suitable for Xiao Peng's mouth, and it is actually Boston lobster, that is, Maine lobster! Qianliyan only has splendid lobster, and it is not bad to have one more Boston lobster.

It's funny to say that the Boston lobster, despite its name, is not a lobster, but a crayfish. It looks like the crayfish we usually eat, with two big crays, and the real lobster doesn't have that big cray. But in the eyes of many Chinese people, this kind of lobster that grows up is the real lobster. And the real lobster, on the contrary, is not considered to be an authentic lobster。。。。。。

In fact, there is still a big difference in the quality of the meat between the two, the lobster is much more tender than the shrimp meat of the crayfish, but the meat in the two large pincers of the crayfish is incomparable to the lobster meat, which is called a tight and tender, and it can only be said that each has its own strengths.

The Boston lobster is a big one, usually more than 50 centimeters long, and the largest weighs 20 kilograms!

It is worth mentioning that although the name is Boston lobster, Boston hardly produces lobsters, and the real lobsters are produced in the Stars and Stripes of Maine and Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada, so the real name should be Maine lobster. It is called Boston lobster because Boston was once the largest trading market for this Maine lobster, hence the name.

Xiao Peng was overjoyed when he saw the Boston lobster. Stop a staff member: "Hello, do you have Boston lobster fry here?"

The staff is a young foreigner, but the Chinese language is double: "Sir, of course we provide lobster and shrimp seedlings, with a minimum order of 500,000 shrimp seedlings, 1.7 US dollars each, and the shipping fee is calculated separately." ”

Xiao Peng calculated, although the price is a bit expensive, it is acceptable: "Is this price still negotiable?"

When the young man heard that there was business, his eyes lit up: "Sir, the quality of the seedlings of our Wharton fishery is first-class, especially healthy, and the survival rate of the seedlings is more than eighty percent, which is a very terrifying number, and it is definitely a wise choice to introduce this lobster to your fishing ground." Big fortune beckons you, doesn't it?"

Xiao Peng doesn't care about money, but if Huaxia people don't bargain when they do business, then they are not Huaxia people, Xiao Peng thought about it: "If I have a larger demand, is the price preferential?"

After hearing this, the young man thought for a moment: "I don't know how much Mr. needs?"

Xiao Peng just wanted to answer, but heard someone next to him say, "No matter how much you want, we won't sell it to you." We at Wharton Fisheries won't sell you a lobster fry!"

"Huh?" Xiao Peng frowned and looked at the visitor. I saw a blonde man standing behind him, but he looked a little familiar, Xiao Peng looked at his badge, and his name was written: "Kanter Wharton". Is this Nelson's brother?()
