At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Tao, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi appeared in the lobby of the Jinghu Hotel on time to greet the representatives of various restaurants and visit the aquaculture base of Xiaojia Farm.
Because they were worried about something, Qin Weiguo, Sima Liang and others didn't have the heart to taste the unique and delicious breakfast of Jinghu Hotel, and after a few bites, they arrived at the hotel lobby.
The business situation in the past few months has shown that the top ingredients of Xiaojia Farm play a vital role in the restaurant, and now that Xiaojia Farm's hairy crabs are on the market, how can these restaurant representatives not be nervous?
In particular, the restaurant from Haizhou is full of expectations for this trip to Ginkgo Village.
Haizhou is the most important consumer market for hairy crabs, with tens of millions of hairy crabs pouring into Haizhou every year from Yangcheng Lake and sweeping the city during September and October of the lunar calendar every year. At this time, it is also the best time for restaurants to compete for customers.
Aside from other objective factors, the quality of hairy crabs has become the most important indicator to attract customers, so the chefs and purchasing supervisors of each restaurant have to rack their brains every year to buy high-quality hairy crabs for their own restaurants.
Although the northwest region of Yunnan is not a traditional production area for hairy crabs, in view of the high level of food quality that Xiaojia Farm has always expressed, everyone does not dare to take it lightly.
Therefore, nearly 100 chefs, purchasing supervisors, food critics from Haizhou and southern Yunnan, and media personnel from 8o restaurants waited neatly in the hotel lobby for the arrival of the senior management of Xiaojia Farm.
Xiao Tao and his entourage walked into the lobby and were also taken aback when they saw this battle. They didn't expect the representatives of the restaurants to be so urgent.
Without much nonsense, Xiao Tao turned around and took the representatives of all parties in the electric car that was already waiting at the door of the hotel. A convoy of more than a dozen cars marched in the direction of the Xiao family's farm.
The large-scale convoy aroused the curiosity of the surrounding tourists, and they asked the surrounding villagers, what is going on?
The villagers who were questioned would tell the curious visitors what they had learned in a proud tone, and the pride in their words would make the visitors from the city feel ashamed.
In fact, it is no wonder that the villagers of Ginkgo Village and the clansmen of the Xiao family were able to puff up their chests in front of the people in the city, after all, Ginkgo Village has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past year, the total income of Ginkgo Village has exceeded 1ooo. This is equivalent to a per capita income of 10,000 RmB per villager. Excluding various costs and losses, the per capita net income of the villagers in Ginkgo Village is not less than 50,000 yuan, which is not a big change for Ginkgo Village, which has a per capita income of less than 5,000 yuan in the past.
Entering the second half of the O9 year, the influx of a large number of tourists made the villagers' inns basically full, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the villagers of Ginkgo Village with daily gold fighting.
Now, the villagers of Ginkgo Village buy large electrical appliances such as televisions, computers, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., which no longer attract the attention of other villagers. Almost every day, villagers bring new electrical appliances to their homes. An electrical appliance firm in the county seat of western Yunnan saw the business opportunity and opened a business store in the podium of the Jinghu Hotel, directly helping the villagers to deliver electrical appliances to their homes, but also saving the villagers from having to go to the county seat to buy goods.
In addition to buying new appliances, the villagers renovated their houses and renovated inns in order to build Ginkgo Village into the best tourist destination.
Now, many of the villagers have even bought cars. In addition to its own use, it can occasionally pick up and drop off guests at the inn, killing two birds with one stone.
In the past, the villagers of Ginkgo Village were able to mix food and clothing at most, if someone in the family went to high school or Dawei. It is also common for someone to fall seriously ill, have financial difficulties or even return to poverty. Who ever thought they could afford a private car?
Today, the income of the villagers in Ginkgo Village is not low, and the children in the family can attend the school with the best facilities and teachers for free, basically reaching the well-off society mentioned on TV.
Therefore, for the Xiao family who brought this qiē, the villagers are naturally grateful!
Now, the top ingredients of Xiaojia Farm are exported to all parts of southern Yunnan and Haizhou, which makes the villagers proud to introduce the situation of Xiaojia Farm to tourists from other places.
…………
Xiao Tao and others did not know that the team of restaurant representatives would arouse the curiosity of tourists and arouse the sense of honor of the villagers.
It is only a few kilometers away from the Jinghu Hotel to Xiaojia Farm, and although the electric car is not fast, the convoy still arrived at the gate of the farm within ten minutes.
Still routine disinfection, changing work clothes, Xiao Tao entered the farm with nearly 100 guests and went straight to the aquaculture base.
At the beginning, Xiao Tao and others did not have much confidence in Xiao Feng's action of releasing crabs on the farm, after all, there is a huge gap between the climate, water quality and environment of northwest Yunnan and Yangcheng Lake. Although Xiao Feng has succeeded in raising cold-water fish in the mountain pond, Xiao Dazhi, as one of the witnesses, does not think that the breeding of hairy crabs will be smooth sailing.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Feng's crab thrives on the farm, and its growth length is jaw-dropping.
Later, Xiao Tao and the others were no longer able to explore the secrets behind these hairy crabs, they only knew that this would be a huge income!
"This is our hairy crab breeding base, we completely eliminate the use of hormone feed, try to use the ecosystem in the water to meet the needs of hairy crabs, and occasionally put pure natural feed to supplement!"
This breeding base originally belonged to a low-lying area, which was washed by snow-melted streams from snow-capped mountains all year round, and was itself an inherent water area of the area. After the Xiao family contracted this area, they transformed this water area, using bluestone strips, steel bars, cement and other materials to build it into square pools with a length and width of about 5o meters, which served as an aquaculture farm of the Xiao family farm.
This kind of pond with a surface area of about 4 acres is neatly arranged in this area, at least more than 200, where aquatic products such as hairy crabs, tench fish, bullfrogs, and freshwater shrimp are raised, which is an important part of Xiao's farm.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the hairy crab breeding base of our Xiao family farm, this year we have put 1oo million buckle crabs, in addition to removing some natural losses, at least 8o thousand hairy crabs can be listed!" Xiao Dazhi, as the director of the breeding project, is naturally well aware of the situation of the farm, and it did not take too much effort to introduce the situation.
With Xiao Dazhi's order, the workers who had already been ready by the pond began to take action, using net pockets to start fishing for crabs from the breeding pond.
The breeding pond of these hairy crabs is not deep, less than one meter, and the breeding density is not low, so the workers quickly caught a lot of hairy crabs with teeth and claws.
Sima Liang, Fang Tianpu and others have to deal with hairy crabs every autumn, and they are already familiar with this delicious ingredient. They can estimate that these hairy crabs weigh at least 35o grams or more by the naked eye alone, which is the top standard for hairy crabs in terms of specifications.
And the vitality of these hairy crabs also proves that they are not raised with a large amount of hormone feed, but are grown in a semi-natural state.
At this time, not only Sima Liang and Fang Tianpu, but also the representatives of other restaurants also had bright eyes, and they had more expectations for the hairy crabs in Xiao's farm.
You must know that the mainstream hairy crabs on the market now are 15o grams to 2oo grams, and hairy crabs over 25o grams often do not appear on the market, and they are booked out by major restaurants and dignitaries at the first time.
These hairy crabs from Xiaojia Farm have such a high weight specification, if their taste can maintain the level of ordinary hairy crabs, they can also be sold at a good price!
In the eyes of everyone's expectation, the employees of Xiaojia Farm have fished up a total of 2oo hairy crabs, and almost every one of them has maintained a weight of more than 35o grams, and even a few of them have exceeded 5oo grams!
The amazing harvest made the executives and employees of Xiaojia Farm smile, after all, these hairy crabs are sold at a better price, and their future income will increase.
"We also know the basic situation of these hairy crabs, but what do they taste like? Let's invite everyone to taste, and then we will talk about the specific details of cooperation!" After all the hairy crabs were weighed and recorded, Xiao Tao opened his mouth and invited the guests to taste them on the spot.
In this regard, all the guests have no objections, after all, just based on appearance, weight and other elements, it is not possible to judge how these hairy crabs taste?
After all, oranges are born in the south and oranges are oranges in the north, and these hairy crabs native to Yangcheng Lake will become the façade of the golden floc after growing in the northwest of Yunnan?
Xiaojia Farm has also made various preparations, several cauldrons have begun to boil water, and several employees have quickly washed the hairy crabs and put them into the steaming cauldron steamer.
There are many ways to cook hairy crabs, and the way to eat them varies depending on the region, but the most classic and popular way to eat them is 'steaming'!
The high-temperature steam of the high-temperature steam can steam the hairy crab in a very short time, which can retain the umami of the hairy crab itself to the greatest extent, which is also the best way to evaluate the grade of the hairy crab.
Therefore, the chefs of each restaurant saw that the Xiao family farm was well prepared, and they also knew that the other party was knowledgeable, so they were patient and waited for the hairy crabs to come out of the pot.
As the pine wood under the earthen stove 'crackles' burns, a few cauldrons begin to waft out the unique aroma of hairy crabs, even in the open outdoors, it looks extremely rich!
As a glutton who has been tasting hairy crabs since he was a child, Fang Tianpu just smelled this taste, and knew that the quality of these hairy crabs should be consistent with its appearance!
At this time, Fang Tianpu was full of expectations for the delicious food that was about to be served!
ps:ps: I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family!
