Chapter 189: Meat is on the market for the first time

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, there are still ten days before the Spring Festival, and the Spring Festival special New Year's goods of the Guoyun Club are beginning to be open to members*. The New Year's goods that were opened this time include a lot of goods that were not common before, mainly meat, including beef, mutton, pork, roosters, fish, and the number of soft-shelled turtles is only about 400 pounds, and 400 black fish, and the individual black fish is less than 2 catties.

Among these goods, the rarest is the rooster. These roosters had been supplied to members one after another in the summer, and by this time, the number was only a hundred, which was the last batch of roosters left until this time. The rooster sale was only open for one day and was sold out by the members.

Soft-shelled turtles and blackfish were also only on sale for one day, and the time was placed on the 26th and 28th days of the lunar month respectively, and they were also sold out. The remaining number of shrimp in the fish pond is not much, and it is staggered by other limited-edition products*day, and it is divided into three days without limit*, while supplies last. As a result, only a few people ordered shrimp on the third day, because after the first two days*, there were basically no shrimp in the pond.

To talk about it is still meat* more convenient. The base is slaughtered and sold in sections at a rate of one cow, two pigs and four sheep per day. Although it was difficult to snap up at first, it was sold every day, and by the end of the year, almost all members had ordered the meat they wanted.

This is the first time that the base slaughters large livestock, in order not to have accidents, the base specially invited two professional cattle killing masters to come over. Although a slaughterhouse has been established at the base, it is not possible to operate it on an assembly line like a professional slaughterhouse. After the cattle fainted from the electric shock, they were bled on a special slaughtering bed, then skinned, hung and cleaned, and subsequently deboned and divided. The base uses a division method similar to that of a Western slaughterhouse, where different parts of the meat are sold separately at different prices.

The beef was selling well, but the offal and head hooves were not selling very well. Customers shy away from the whole raw cow head and hooves, and the offal is not easy to sell. In the end, the base had to pack these up, process the sauce, and then sell them. The base does not have the sales qualification of this kind of cooked food, and Tagawa is also worried about health accidents, so these things are not officially sold in large quantities on the website, and only some beef tongue, belly, hoof tendons, etc. are provided to customers who specifically request them, and as for the other parts, Tagawa is the master and sells them to the employees of the base at a reasonable price.

The sales of mutton are different from that of beef, and they are not carefully divided, but are sold in the form of dehaired and bone-in sales adopted by Wang Cripple at the suggestion of Tagawa, and the leg of mutton is sold separately.

Later, at the request of customers, a part of the mutton was peeled and deboned, and then frozen and sliced for sale, and the sales were quite good. While cutting the lamb slices, some skinless lamb chops were cut out separately, which were quickly snatched up by everyone.

After the mutton slices were put on the market, many customers asked for the supply of fat beef slices, and of course Tagawa did not hesitate and agreed. In addition, lamb scorpions, a by-product of deboned lamb, are also popular. However, there are only one or two pairs of sheep scorpions every day, and in the case of Tagawa's complete sale, members can only rush to grab it.

Sheep sales are much better than cattle. Almost all of them were sold out, even the sheep's head and hooves. Only a few parts of the lamb liver that did not taste good were left.

Pork is selling smoothly. After being divided according to the division method of a general meat factory, it was quickly booked out by members. The pigs sold this time were ordered by Tagawa from the pig farm of Munehiro in this village six months in advance, and since the reservation, he has insisted on feeding them with traditional grains and vegetables and pastures, and they are basically standard traditional fat pigs. Since Zong Guangquan breeds lean pigs there, pork is not as fat as traditional pig breeds, but is more popular. However, many members also reported that the pork is not as fragrant as the farmhouse pork in their memory. Tian Chuan estimates that the reason is partly because people's tastes have changed over time, and on the other hand, it is probably because of the breed of pigs, and the fact that traditional farming methods have not been adhered to for long enough.

For the beef and mutton sold here, everyone responded well. After several months of green rearing and the last 40 days of intensive fattening, the taste of these cattle and sheep has increased. There is also the fact that these cattle and sheep absolutely do not draw water, which should also be one of the reasons for affecting the taste.

The beef and mutton and pork sold this time are not completely green breeding, and Tian Chuan did not sell them at a high price according to the standards of the club's products, but only took into account the increased breeding costs during this period of time, as well as the distribution costs and management costs, and appropriately increased some prices to sell, all of which were second-class products.

He kept a lot of mutton for himself, as well as pork and beef. Because of the arrival of the Spring Festival, he specially made a beef leg sauce, and also sauced heart, liver and chicken gizzard, as well as four pork knuckles. Of course, he can't finish eating so many things during the Spring Festival, but it's not easy to use a cauldron to do it once, so he just makes more, and he plans to freeze the sauce products that can't be eaten for a while after vacuuming, and you can eat them for a long time. It's more troublesome to make sauce, and I usually don't have time to make it, but now I have free time, and I can make a lot of it at once.

In addition, he also left four sheep's heads, half a tripe, two cow hooves, a pair of pig intestines and four pairs of pig fat intestines, these things are what he likes to eat, keep more, you can also eat for a while. After the sheep's head and cow's hooves were cleaned up, he cooked them in plain water and removed the meat, and then processed them when he ate them. After the small intestine is cleaned up, it is directly thrown into the pot of sauce and meat, and the fat intestine is also cooked in plain water and prepared to make fat intestines.

Those pigs, cattle and sheep whips, he hung them on the website and sold them, and everyone grabbed them quite actively. On the other hand, all these animals are not cared for. This thing is also called a small belly, and everyone is not used to eating this thing, even the slaughtering master who invited him does not have the habit of eating this. Tian Chuan likes to eat this very much, and after he washes these small bellies, they are still cooked with the sauce of the sauce meat, and the taste is better than that of the belly. Before the Spring Festival, Tian Chuan saved a lot of these things, divided them into small packages, and froze them in the freezer.

When Tagawa set up a cauldron in the yard and made all kinds of meat, a strong New Year's breath rose in the yard, making him feel a kind of childhood memory that he had not had for many years.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Tian Chuan went to Qinglong Town to catch a trip to the previous year's big gathering, which he hadn't been to for many years, and the feeling of the crowd made him unforgettable. It's just that he doesn't have much to buy, and he's purely here to join in the fun. The most crowded market is the market that sells clothes, shoes and hats, and many families come here with their children to buy new clothes to wear during the New Year.

The meat market, the vegetable market, the fish market, he all came over one by one, and he basically prepared all the things for sale here, and he also saved a lot of many things that were not available here, and of course he didn't have to buy anything. In the fruit market and firecracker market, he still didn't buy much, but just bought a big bag of frozen persimmons and some firecrackers. When I was a child, these two things were his favorites during the Chinese New Year, but I haven't eaten and played with them for a long time.

The last thing he went to was the grocery market, where most of the things were farm tools and various materials, and he didn't have anything to buy, just walked through the market curiously. Browsing through the various stalls, suddenly, a stall selling old things caught his attention. This is not the kind of stall that sells antiques, just some old tools and the like, and some old books or something, anyway, they all seem to have some practical use, and in these things, there are a variety of old tools in the rural tradition, including the swivel for tethering animals, the copper pieces on the old boxes, the old locks, the old dung forks used to pick up dung, and a variety of knives, etc., as well as some seemingly old porcelain, alarm clocks, and old New Year's paintings and books.

Tian Chuan still likes these traditional things very much, and he thinks that the museum in the village should be able to use these old objects. During this period of time, although the museum has collected some old objects, there are still some things in this stall that the museum does not have.

The stall owner, an old man in his sixties, saw that he was looking at it seriously and asked, "What do you like, they are all old things, and the price is not expensive." ”

Tian Chuan said: "I like these old things very much, you calculate, if I want to wrap the round, how much will it be in total? ”

The old man didn't expect this person to buy them all, so he immediately groaned and said, "There are a lot of these things, you can give a total of 2,500 yuan." I can give you this box as well. As he spoke, he pointed to an old black wooden box beside him.

Tian Chuan did not hesitate, immediately counted out 2,500 yuan and handed it to the old man, and said: "You don't have to worry about any special treasures in these things, I am from Tianjia Village, and the village has built an old rural museum, and these things can be put on display there." ”

Most of the people who came to the market were people from the surrounding villages, and everyone basically knew the changes in Tianjia Village over the past year or so, and when they heard that Tian Chuan was buying exhibits for the museum, some people curiously asked him about himself: "I heard that Tian Chuan of your village has made a farm in the village, and has made a lot of money, and it seems that he has also been on TV, right?"

Tian Chuan smiled: "It's a farm, but the farm doesn't make much money, although the things are quite expensive, but the cost is also high." It is all grown and raised according to the old method, without pesticides and fertilizers, and several experts from the Agricultural University were invited, and the labor cost was several times higher than that of the general greenhouse. ”

The people next to him didn't believe it, and a neighboring stall owner said: "Na Tian Chuan spent nearly 10 million yuan just to buy two school buses for the children in the village, and you still say that he doesn't make much?"

Tian Chuan said: "Tian Chuan has other businesses in the capital, that is the main force to make money, and the money earned by the farm in the village is enough for his family to spend on a daily basis." He now knows more people, and his usual expenses are also large. ”

After chatting casually, seeing that the old man who set up the stall helped him clean up the things on the stall, Tian Chuan thanked him, picked up the strip full of things, and walked towards the car parked in the distance. It took a long time for the old man who set up the stall to react: "This young man's strength is really great! This box of things is more than 200 catties, and he seems to be very relaxed in his hand." ”

At this time, some of the surrounding people also recognized Tian Chuan, who was walking away: "This seems to be the Tian Chuan we were talking about just now." ”
