1828. Stumbling upon a new idea
The spectacular scene of the mine explosion shocked the onlookers, looking at the layer of white-bellied fish floating on the water, the fishermen in the town kept shaking their heads, saying that they didn't expect there to be so many Asian carp in Shenbao Lake now.
Qin Shiou saw more, these Asian carp were just the tip of the iceberg, there were more Asian carp hiding in the mud and algae at the bottom of the lake than on the surface of the water, and some fish were only temporarily unconscious, and when they woke up, they took advantage of not being caught, and shook their heads and tails and fled.
Boatloads of Asian carp were brought to shore, and Hani prepared boxes and bags for the fish in advance, but the number was not enough, and in a few moments a small mountain of fish piled up on the ground.
Tourists have gone up to take pictures, some people estimate that they are interested in making water in China, and they shook their heads again and again: "Oh, it would be good if these fish could be transported back, they are all wild big fish, and they can make a lot of money by selling them to the hotel fish farm." ”
Of course, these fish cannot be shipped back to China, and Asian carp such as grass carp, carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, etc. are suitable for fresh eating, and the taste of dead fish will deteriorate a lot. And if you want to take the sea route from Canada to return to China, it will be frozen for a long time, even if it is wild fish, no one will buy it when you go back.
In addition, even if you go by sea, the freight of these fish is not cheap, Canada and China are too far away, and the value of the fish obviously cannot offset the freight of the road, who will do such unprofitable work?
In fact, Qin Shiou has a way to make money through Asian carp, and that is to make fish balls. The high-end fish balls in the Chinese market are all imported from South Korea and Japan, and if he ships them back in large quantities, he can seize a part of the market.
The Asian carp in Shenbao Lake tastes much better than ordinary wild fish, but the algae they eat contains the energy of the sea god. In this way, the made fish balls naturally taste more wonderful.
But this business doesn't make much money. He now earns millions a year from outdoor stores and grocery stores alone, not to mention stakes in Bombardier and Tiffany's? Not to mention. His Daqin restaurant has also opened widely in North America.
In the eyes of some Chinese, these fish are wealth. In Hani's eyes, these fish are garbage, and they belong to the kind of garbage that is difficult to clean up.
So many fish, if not properly processed and rotten, it will cause serious pollution to the environment, and even lead to bacteria, viruses rampant, Canada is very strict on this piece of control, who pollutes who treats, can not be punished by law. Canadian law is ruthless when it comes to protecting the environment.
Hani looked at the mighty fish mountain with a sad face, and a town government office worker next to him comforted him: "It's early spring, and the weather is still very cold, so it should freeze into ice if you pour some water at night, so we have time to find a way to deal with these fish." ”
Qin Shiou asked, "No, guys, you haven't thought about what to do with the fried fish, right?" ”
Hani sighed: "Of course we thought about it, we planned to bury it, but who would have expected so many fish to be fried?" My God. Is Shenbao Lake now occupied by Asian carp? Are they vegetatively reproduced? ”
Qin Shiou thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll deal with it, I'll find someone to send the fish to my feed factory." After dehydration, drying and crushing, it is used as a fish feed additive. ”
Little Hughes's eyes widened and said, "Shet, that's too cruel, isn't it, letting the poor fish eat the corpses of their kind?" How can the fish raised in this way be eaten? ”
"Then why don't you figure it out?" Qin Shiou asked.
Hughes Jr. sneered, "I do." If I could send it to my Sioux friends in the Rocky Mountains, they would be happy. But how do you get to the mountain? ”
Qin Shiou gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "So if you don't have a better idea." Then my idea is a good idea. ”
"Yes, Qin's idea is definitely a good idea, thank you, Qin, you solved the big trouble for the town." Hani said happily.
Seriously, if these fish could be disposed of, Qin Shiou really didn't want to take over. Although it doesn't cost money to get the fish, it costs a lot of money to deal with it, and it will be very dirty and messy if you don't get it right.
He paid all the pickup trucks from the town who were willing to help, and he paid for the gas, and he gave 50 yuan for each truckload of fish that the pickup truck carried, so that the fishermen in the town could help transport the fish to the fishing grounds.
In the fishing grounds, fortunately there was no large catch during the Chinese New Year holiday, and there was an ice bank that was empty, and he housed these Asian carp in it.
Then, using the dried bonito production line, he had the fishermen work overtime to dehydrate and bake the Asian carp so that the dried fish could be used as a protein additive for fish feed and sent to Fishery No. 2.
These Asian carp are very suitable as protein additives, because eating algae and small fish containing Poseidon energy, so Asian carp contain a little Poseidon energy in their bodies, and they themselves are high protein and low fat, and adding to fish feed can also improve the quality of fish feed.
Nearly twenty pickup trucks began to connect to work, and a truckload of big fish was sent into the freezer, Sister Qin and her brother-in-law were responsible for helping to record the transportation of the trains. ”
Qin Shiou lamented: "Don't expect to make money here, it's good if you don't lose money." ”
The two dried bonito production lines in the fishery are working at full capacity, because the fish feed is made, so the dried fish does not have to be as dry and hard as the dried bonito, as long as it is dehydrated and spun dry, and then simply grilled.
The dried bonito production line is very clean, and the dried fish produced can be eaten directly, and the quality level is very high, and the dried Asian carp produced in this way is also very clean.
The dried Asian carp is very good, the color is white and gold, and you can smell the umami of the fish after scraping off the scales to reveal the flesh underneath.
Sister Qin took an arm-length dried carp, she painstakingly tore a little dried meat and put it in her mouth to chew, frowned and said: "These dried fish, well, taste very good, this has not been burned or baked, the taste is with umami and fragrance, and there is a little sweet taste, if you grill it, it should be better." ”
Sister Mo Ruodi, Qin Shiou probably guessed her thoughts: "You don't plan to bring these dried fish back to China for sale, right?" ”
Sister Qin crossed her eyes and said, "Yes, what's wrong, can't you?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled dryly: "The shipping cost is not low, and besides, I plan to let you be the manager of Daqin Restaurant in China in the future, what else are you doing to sell dried fish?" ”
Sister Qin nodded when she heard this, and said regretfully: "But these dried fish taste really good, if they are shipped back to China for sale, it is certain to make money, this is a high-end freshwater dried fish, which is rare in our provincial capital!" ”
The brother-in-law also said: "Yes, I agree with Xiaolan's opinion, if these dried fish are sent back to China, they can not only be used for barbecue, but also for soup seasoning, similar to dried bonito, there is definitely a market." Xiaoou, if you have friends and classmates who want to make some money, let them do this, there will definitely be a head! (To be continued.) )
