Chapter 1003: Caviar

After a brief look around here, to be honest, Jiang Hai was very surprised and satisfied with the Tsukiji Market, because you can find all the fish in the whole Pacific Ocean, and even the Arctic Ocean, yes, as long as you are patient, you will always grow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Almost all kinds of fish, there are all kinds of fish here, from sharks and whales to sea bream, moray eels, and even some migratory fish, all of which are here.

There are many of these things in Bingcheng, and the place where Huaxia and Soviet Russia meet is Longjiang, half of which belongs to Huaxia and half belongs to Soviet Russia.

And salmon is one of the fish migrating in this river, but people who have stayed in Heilong Province know that although half of the river belongs to China and half belongs to Soviet Russia, basically only China will fish in the river, the Far East of Soviet Russia, the land is vast and sparsely populated, they don't like to eat seafood, such as in places like Poseidon, those spider crabs, king crabs or something, hundreds of dollars a pound in China, a hundred yuan there, at least a dozen pounds, this is the gap, Arctic ginseng, Arctic ice shrimp, sea urchin, Abalone or something, you wear a swimming goggle and dive down, you just grab it and eat it, no money at all.

This is how the Russians think about the environment, and of course, in recent years, they have also known that they have come to China to exchange these things for money.

In fact, the per capita income of Soviet Russia is very low, especially in the Far East, China's wine, grain, and light industry are all fun in them, the Russian Far East, a total of 6.2 million square kilometers, with a population of less than 7 million, is not except for some cities, it is really a no-man's land, a person has an average of one square kilometer of land, who are you talking to?

It is precisely because the Russians do not fish that there are very few people on the Huaxia side of Longjiang, but there are quite a lot of fish on the Russian side.

So in the past few years, there were often some Chinese fishermen who went there at night to catch a net and came back, but this was an invasion of the other party's territory, and the other party's soldiers were going to shoot, so many fishermen died on the border line.

And what these fishermen exchanged for their lives is these salmon, and when these salmon arrive in China, it depends on how you sell them...... If you're selling salmon in front of you, you're making money, after all, these salmon are pure wild, and it's no problem to fool the uninitiated, but if you sell salmon, it's not worth much.

However, there is an exception, that is, salmon roe, in China, salmon roe made of caviar, is also quite popular, but in addition to some Asian countries will eat salmon roe, other Western countries will not eat, here we have to talk about another specialty of Soviet Russia, black caviar.

Speaking of caviar, everyone may have some understanding, but to be honest, there is actually nothing to understand.

Including Jiang Hai is the same, he didn't know it before, and he doesn't know it very well now, because he doesn't breed these things in his house.

However, when he was at the auction hall just now, he was a little surprised when he saw ten kilograms of black caviar with a price tag of 50,000 US dollars.

And Nakamura Masa, who knew that Jiang Hai was a VIP, also introduced Jiang Hai to the situation about black caviar.

In fact, most people, the roe is called caviar, in fact, this is wrong, caviar only three kinds of fish roe can be made into caviar, namely Beluga white sturgeon, oscietra oscetra sturgeon, sevruga flash sturgeon, only these three kinds of sturgeon roe roe are called caviar, others include the roe of the Chinese sturgeon, not called caviar, which has nothing to do with the preciousness, or value, size, only these three kinds of caviar are called caviar, among which the white sturgeon is the best.

The caviar of the white sturgeon sells for 860 US dollars a kilogram in Soviet Russia, and in London, the best, fullest, and largest white sturgeon roe sells for 5,000 US dollars a kilogram.

However, the more troublesome thing about breeding white sturgeon is that after taking the roe, the fish will die, and the white sturgeon grows very slowly, and there is really no time to harvest in four or five years, which is precisely because of this, so it is not very good to breed white sturgeon in China.

One is because it can't be sold at a high price, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is a fish roe that can be made into caviar, which is simply a different concept, because the country is not so keen to eat this thing, such as foie gras, in Europe it is the best product, but there are not many people who eat it in China, there is no market, naturally it cannot be sold at a high price, and the second is because the growth cycle is too long, not so many people have so much patience, and it is possible to breed white sturgeon without a return for five or six years, which is really not worth it.

Thirdly, it is really troublesome to take seeds from sturgeon, and there is no such institution in China.

To extract seeds from a sturgeon, the first thing to do is to knock the sturgeon unconscious, but not to kill it, because the eggs are finished when the mother dies.

Then quickly take out the roe, screen, wash and dry, filter, and then hand it over to the appraiser to identify the grade, and then according to the size of the roe, color, fullness, dispersion density, smell to evaluate the grade, and finally put salt, the roe is pickled into caviar sauce, this is also the most exquisite craftsmanship, salt can not be more, not less, salt can not overwhelm the original taste, but also let the taste of the roe slightly salty, forming a subtle combination, after adding salt, the roe should be sieved on the filter screen, Until the skin of the roe is devoid of the water that was washed before, each grain is separated, that is, dried, and then canned and shipped to the rest of the world.

The combined time of these steps is only fifteen minutes, which means that these must be done within fifteen minutes, otherwise the roe will be ruined, and it is precisely because of this strict system that this thing is so expensive!

In fact, the main thing is a question of values, such as Jiang Hai's beef, someone said, Jiang Hai's mind is not right, why is it good, you sell it abroad, you don't sell it to the Chinese people? Good beef is sold abroad, and good fish is also sold to the country, Jiang Hai's mind is not right, this is kneeling and licking foreigners, he is not right.

But generally people who say such things, Jiang Hai doesn't even bother to pay attention to him, the simplest question, Jiang Hai sells good beef in China, who buys it! For example, housewives go to the supermarket, no matter which city it is, whether it is in the Northeast, the imperial capital, or the magic capital, it doesn't matter, they go to the Walmart supermarket and see Jiang Hai's beef at Sam's Club.

2400 soft girl coins a pound, do you buy it? Other people's salmon sells for more than 30 yuan a catty, Jiang Hai's sells for 300 a catty, you can't buy it! This is not counting the freight and customs duties, but anyone who has an idea has to say, why?

Next to the best beef in China, cucumber strips sell for forty, Jiang Hai's sells for two thousand four, and the average white-collar worker buys two catties of meat for a month's salary? It's not realistic at all, the domestic concept of consumption has not gone up, you tell them, how delicious this beef is, they can't listen to it, because in their eyes this beef is the same, it is nothing more than fat and thin and different places, and the selling price is also different.

In fact, what do you say is the difference between the top beef of Wagyu beef and regular beef? The nutrition is the same, and it is over when you eat it, but people sell it expensively, and the same is true for Jiang Hai's beef and fish, which are not for ordinary people, and the rich people in China recognize this thing too little, so they can only sell it abroad.

Think about a huge imperial capital, Jiang Hai and Qi Li's four stores, have already covered all the consumer groups, how many people are in the imperial capital? Jiang Hai wanted to sell beef in China, but he really couldn't find anyone to buy it.

"Hey, what do you think? In a daze here? Just when Jiang Hai was full of emotion in her heart, Azarina couldn't help but gently pat Jiang Hai's shoulder and whispered, hearing her words, Jiang Hai also reacted.

"Oh, nothing, just stunned for a while." Laughing, Jiang Hai couldn't say that he had thought so much unintentionally, so he could only smile and say to Azalina, there are some things in his own heart.

"If there's nothing, I think we should go back, I feel like someone is watching us!" Hearing Azalina's words, Jiang Hai also looked around, and sure enough, his eyes looked over, and many people flashed their eyes for the first time, pretending to be shopping, looking at these people, Jiang Hai smiled, he didn't know who these people were, but it was certain that these people definitely didn't have any good intentions, so he slowly walked towards the Walmart supermarket, and the four Pra-Walton bodyguards who were originally just scattered around were also under the command of Azalina, and walked to Jiang Hai's side.

With the help of the crowd around them, Jiang Hai and the others soon walked into the Wal-Mart supermarket, and after coming in, they were relieved, and at this time, those people outside also dispersed, pretending to have nothing to do, but their eyes looked at Jiang Hai from time to time, looking at their eyes, Jiang Hai also smiled, he was not stared at by others.

"You're done, it's just right, everyone is almost here, and it's going to start in a while." Seeing Jiang Hai walk back, Pura Walton was almost done, and then said to Jiang Hai with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Hai also looked around, when he left, there was no one except the staff, but when he came back, there were almost twenty or thirty strangers in the house, basically all of them were island people, they got together in twos and threes and chatted, looking at these people, Jiang Hai couldn't help but laugh, these guys are his customers!

"People are almost here, and it is estimated that no one will come, are you ready to start?" At this time, Nakamura walked up to Jiang Hai and Pula Walton and asked Pula Walton.

"Start at the scheduled time." Hearing Nakamura's words, Pula Walton also nodded, and the show was staged! (To be continued.) )
