Chapter 438: Food Strategy (II)
"Hmmm! This fish tastes good, but there are too many spines, don't you foreigners like to eat fish with spines? After taking a bite, Jiang Hai asked while picking out the fish bones while looking at Du Famen in front of him.
The taste of this fish is indeed fresh, and it is quite good, but this thing also has too many spines, and it is so troublesome to eat.
"Haha, that's why I have to fry it like this, and after the thorns are crispy, it still tastes very good." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Du Famen also smiled and said, the best thing about this fish is braised fish, but why is it fried and eaten, that's the reason.
"What kind of fish is this?" Jiang Hai wasn't used to eating the bones together, so he said while picking up the fish bones there.
"This is the Yangtze River saury." Hearing his words, Qi Li, who had been eating fish with fish bones behind him, interjected and said.
"Yangtze River saury? Is this the Yangtze River saury? Hearing Qi Li's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because the Yangtze River saury has been very popular over the years, it has grown from dozens of yuan a pound to hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Before going abroad, Jiang Hai had already heard of the Yangtze River saury, and he went to the aquatic market to take a look, but there was no Yangtze River saury in the aquatic market in Bingcheng, only the knife, but the knife was not expensive, and he found out later.
It is said that it is the Yangtze River saury, but in fact, this fish has nothing to do with the saury, the so-called saury refers to the hairtail fish, this fish can grow to more than one meter long, the yield is particularly large, it is one of the most productive marine fish.
It is mainly produced in the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and is basically located in warm seas, and can also be farmed.
Jiang Hai's estate is located in the Atlantic Ocean. There's this kind of thing too. It's just very little. The taste of this fish is average, and the meat quality is also very average, so Jiang Hai usually doesn't catch it, just like the hairtail fish in Jiang Hai's manor, the largest is about to grow to one meter five, and I don't know how big it will grow if it grows again, anyway, Jiang Hai doesn't plan to eat it.
Yangtze River saury. It's not this hairtail, it's a freshwater fish with a scientific name called longjaw.
Don't look at this kind of fish is so valuable in China, but this fish is not the only fish species in China, this fish is in the whole Asia, and even the whole world, there are a lot, the Yangtze River basin in China, Malay, Borneo. Phuket, and even the Amazon Basin. There are all such fish, but except in China, I have not heard of a market for these fish abroad.
But now that he has mentioned it, Jiang Haizhi is a little excited, he is afraid of being poisonous when raising puffer fish, but there is nothing wrong with raising this fish.
Is it difficult to breed in captivity? That is not in Jiang Hai's dictionary, as soon as the aura comes out, you have to bow your head for everything.
"It looks like we're going to build a river in the manor." After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Hai muttered in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to make a freshwater river out, because he wanted to eat yellow eels or something, so he needed to breed them himself.
But this is just an idea, after all, he can't just make a river just to eat yellow eels, which will cost a lot of money.
Although Jiang Hai is not short of money, there is no need for him to waste money too much, after all, there is no one to eat yellow eels in Boston.
Foreigners don't eat eels, Jiang Hai remembered watching a show before, it was about food, and the chefs of Huaxia and France were confronted.
After the French got the eel, they didn't know how to cook it, although the Western food was different from place to place.
But if Western food is the first to be recommended, that is, French food and Italian food, and even French chefs can't cook eel, what market can there be in the United States? So it's not Jiang Hai's style, but now it looks like it's a good way to get a river.
He can raise some freshwater, very valuable fish, and sell them to Qi Li when the time comes.
Think about the Yangtze River saury launched in the restaurant, it is estimated that the price can indeed be multiplied many times.
Besides, there is no need to build a river, divert water, pump water, or anything like that.
There are a lot of small rivers in the Boston area, just bring one over, if you don't want to divert water, then dig a river channel yourself, the groundwater is also quite abundant, how much can it cost to dig a river? Jiang Hai didn't care about that.
After mentally writing down the longjaw, the scientific name of the Yangtze swordfish, Jiang Hai began to focus on something else.
Not to mention, he really saw a fish that had been made this time, this fish looked a little similar to the American red fish, but it was a little different, and he took a bite of it, Jiang Hai couldn't help but nodded, this fish tastes good.
"This is a big yellow croaker, which has been very expensive recently, and the shaped ones will sell me for nearly 1,000 yuan a catty, and the smaller ones will have to be sold for about 800." Seeing that Jiang Hai seemed to be very satisfied, Qi Li here also hurriedly said.
"This is not bad, you can raise it." Hearing Qi Li's words, Jiang Hai was taken aback, to be honest, the taste of the big yellow croaker is better than the average American red fish, but it is actually similar to the American red fish raised by Jiang Hai, and even slightly worse.
But American red fish, no matter how good it sells, in China a pound is sold for sixty yuan, in the United States, about ten dollars a kilogram of dollars, this is already much more expensive than cod, but this is also a large yellow croaker of the totoaba family, a pound can be sold ten times the price of American red fish, or that sentence, Jiang Hai can raise any fish, which does not allow him not to be moved.
One pound is calculated according to 80 US dollars, if Jiang Hai raises one million tails, others raise them for a year, they can raise eight taels, Jiang Hai raises two catties is not a problem, one catty of eighty US dollars, two catties is one hundred and sixty US dollars, and one million tails, that is 160 million US dollars.
What if you raise two million tails, what about three million tails? In the past, Jiang Hai had always believed that the core area of his main money-making was on land.
Because beef is very valuable, but now his cattle have almost reached the limit, then he has to find a way to make some money on other things, the fish in the sea is a very good thing, if he can raise this thing, he can also raise bluefins and the like, just to supply the island country and Huaxia, it is enough for him to earn a year is definitely not less than on land.
Now that I think about it, there is no way to choose the American red fish, because the fish sold in the United States are not too many species, and they must ensure their own species characteristics, and they cannot introduce exotic species at will.
If one day, these fish are worthless, just like the Asian carp now, where will they cry?
Looking at the food in front of him, Jiang Hai's mind kept turning, originally when he asked Minister Qin to introduce domestic species, Jiang Hai's first thought was goats, fragrant pigs and the like, but now it seems that he lacks heart.
I have to introduce these things, and I was so naïve at the beginning.
"The taste of this fish is really good, but because there are too many spines, I only rank it in the tenth place for today's ingredients, go, I'll take you to see the ninth place." After patting Jiang Hai, Du Famen continued to take Jiang Hai to the barbecue area in the distance.
The barbecue chef here was brought from Arabia by Du Famen, and he also brought this ingredient from Arabia.
"That's the ninth food of the day, the hump." When Jiang Hai came here, the waiter respectfully took three skewers of roasted meat from the oven, put them on a plate, and handed them to Jiang Hai, Qi Li and Du Famen.
"Hump?" Looking at the piece of meat in front of him, Jiang Hai hesitated, he really knew that Arab barbecue was a must.
Speaking of which, the Arabian barbecue is the best in the world, but the hump is ......
He knew that this thing could be eaten, the ancient Manchu and Han Dynasty feasts, and among the four eight treasures, the first treasure of the mountain eight treasures was the hump.
But to be honest, Jiang Hai imagined the appearance of a camel's back, and it seemed that he really couldn't eat it.
"Try it, it's good!" Seeing that Jiang Hai was a little hesitant, Du Famen took a bite first, and then said with a smile.
Seeing that he had eaten it, Jiang Hai hesitated for a moment and then took a bite, but in addition to the resistance in his heart, when this hump entered his mouth, Jiang Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up, this meat is indeed delicious.
The camel is where the camel stores energy, nutrients and water, and there are no bones, only meat and fat.
However, because of the perennial storage of water, the lean meat here is born with the effect of tender meat powder, and the meat is very soft.
The fat outside, after roasting, turns into fat, but it is not greasy, in ancient times, some nobles were very fond of eating this thing, of course, there are very few people who eat this thing now, after all, there are not too many people raising camels.
The hump is rich in protein, fat, calcium, scales, iron, vitamins A, B1, B2 and niacin.
The gelatin fat in the meat, also known as Fengzi oil, is sweet and warm and non-toxic, and has the effects of moisturizing dryness, wind, blood circulation and elimination.
It is a rare delicacy, and Jiang Hai is still very satisfied with this meat.
However, he is not going to raise camels, this game should not be easy to raise, and the most important thing is that Jiang Hai is not short of meat.
"This is the ninth, and this one I ranked second is Kobe beef, but your beef is no worse than this, so I guess you're tired of eating it for a long time." Seeing Jiang Hai's satisfied appearance, Du Famen smiled and pointed to another row of meat skewers, and said with a smile, these meats were all bought by him specially in the island country, and the price was not cheap.
However, although eating this kind of beef was very common for Jiang Hai, he still made a bunch and ate it.
He hadn't eaten Kobe beef, and he wanted to taste it to see if it tasted good, and when he ate it in his mouth, it felt similar to his beef, but there were some slight differences, after all, it wasn't the same breed of beef, but the taste was similar.
Of course, the taste is far worse, because one is made by Jiang Hai and the other is made by the chef, but compared to Qi Li's restaurant, the taste is no different, Qi Li also ate a piece, and nodded on the surface.
But in fact, in my heart, I have already made up my mind that Jiang Hai must be tied up, not only for his people, but also for his cattle. (To be continued.) )
