1833. Grilled Fish Business
The Syrian couple bought a few large items, as well as a lot of kitchen utensils, carpets, water dispensers and other daily necessities, and they were hungry after being busy, Qin Shiou contacted the life mall to order a complete set of daily necessities, and then propped up a chair at the door to rest.
Mao Weilong came over and handed him and Zhong Dajun a bottle of beer, Zhong Dajun opened it and took a sip, and said, "Hey, it tastes good, the fragrance of this hop is very strong." There is nothing to eat, and I was a little hungry all morning. β
Qin Shiou asked if he wanted to order takeout, Mao Weilong said: "No need, I brought you roast duck from home, it tastes very good, but it's not a big road product like Quanjude." β
"It hasn't broken in so long?" Qin Shiou was surprised, the roast duck is only delicious when it is freshly roasted, not to mention that it has been two days since they came to St. John's, but to say that the time of the day on the plane will also ruin the taste of the roast duck.
Mao Weilong said with a smile: "Vacuum packaging, it can be stored for five days without pressure, but of course, the taste will get worse and worse day by day." β
Moving to a new apartment, Qin Shiou hasn't prepared the ingredients yet, and the refrigerator hasn't been delivered, so he can't prepare. However, St. John's has a sales point for Daqin seafood, and he can deliver seafood ingredients with a phone call. Wandering around the kitchen, he found a European-style barbecue grill and charcoal, so he could set it up and make his own barbecue.
He wanted to go out to eat, but after Zhong Dajun saw the barbecue grill, he asked him to barbecue something casually, saying that since he came to St. John's, he had been eating in the restaurant with him, and he hadn't tasted Qin Shiou's craftsmanship yet.
After thinking about it, Qin Shiou felt that he could roast it, so he called Shaq and asked him to send some meat and vegetables, not only for this meal, but also for the next few days, Qin's father and Qin's mother and others will take care of Winnie here. You have to prepare for the rest of your life.
He deliberately asked Shaq to go to the freezer and take out dried freshwater fishβor dried fish, one each for bighead carp, carp, grass carp, silver carp, herring, and many varieties of local freshwater fish.
After the grilled fish became dried fish, the size shrank a little, and the quality was not so good-looking. But compared to the dried fish circulating in the market, it is much more beautiful. Because it is well preserved.
Qin Shiou lit the barbecue, and several people sat on the lawn at the door, just in the warm early spring sun, they took care of the second-hand stall business while making barbecue, the best of both worlds.
Shaq was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and when he got called, he only brought fish and vegetables, but when he came, he also brought all kinds of condiments and flavorings, and even a bag of flour for toasting.
Qin Shiou showed the dried fish to Zhong Dajun. said: "It's this kind of fish, think about it, if this business can be done, I can provide you with about ten tons of dried fish every month." The cost price is very low, mainly for freight, you see if this business can be done. β
Although Zhong Dajun has never done business, he has been running sales for many years, and he knows many people and has seen many scenes. He picked up a piece of dried grass carp, cut a slice with a knife, and tasted it in his mouth. Then he nodded and said, "This dried fish tastes very good, how much is the shipping cost?" I think this business can be done. β
said. He crossed his fingers and began to calculate with great interest: "I went to the market before I came, and dried fish made of freshwater fish is rare, generally saltwater fish is made of dried fish, and the price is about 100 yuan per kilogram. I've bought and eaten it, and dried fish doesn't taste as good as this, so it's absolutely no problem for us to sell it for 100 yuan a kilogram. β
Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "That's not a big profit." Dried fish is easy to preserve, and the density is large, does not take up space, and can be transported by sea. If you go by sea, a kilogram of goods from St. John's to the island city will cost at least 20 yuan, plus labor and shop costs. The cost price must be fifty dollars, right? There's not much to be gained in this way. β
Zhong Dajun looked at him in surprise and said: "This is still called no profit, as long as you can make money, the profit of fifty yuan is a lot, double the profit difference!" If you can sell 1,000 kilograms a month, it will be an income of 50,000 yuan, and 600,000 yuan a year, and it will not be far from reaching 1 million. β
Mao Weilong, who was flipping the roast duck, turned around and said: "Lao Qin, don't stand on your height to look at this business, the squad leader is now only 10,000 yuan a month, and he makes 50,000 yuan as his own boss, I think this business is okay." β
Qin Shiou said: "Then try it, I'll make an upfront investment for you, if you don't expect much, I think it's no problem, just the quality of this dried fish, if you open the market, don't say a thousand kilograms a month, ten tons is no problem." β
This is not blind optimism, this is the result of the discussion between his sister and brother-in-law, because they have been doing freshwater fish business in China for the past two years, and after tasting the taste of these dried fish, they can conclude that the future prospects of this product are very good.
Roast duck is simply hot, Mao Weilong put on film gloves and began to peel duck meat, Qin Shiou cut the fishing rod into slices and put it on the stove to start roasting, he and his sister's family roasted some a few days ago, and now they have experience.
Because of the dehydration, these dried fish must be grilled with a lot of oil, and if there is no oil and water, the meat will be very woody, and it will not be able to realize its potential.
The red charcoal fire under the grill came out, Qin Shiou kept turning the dried fish with a clip in one hand and a brush in the other, and then smeared the peanut oil on it, and applied the peanut oil layer by layer.
The snow-white fish quickly turned pale yellow, Qin Shiou began to spread lemon juice and maple syrup on it, and waited until the fish was golden brown, then sprinkled with sesame seeds and cumin, and the grilled fish was alive.
He first roasted two slices of carp meat and handed them to Zhong Dajun, who cut them with a knife and ate them in his mouth, and was immediately scalded and grinned, but he didn't slow down the pace of eating, and sent the fish to his mouth while exhaling, and said vaguely: "This business can definitely be done, mom is delicious, it's delicious!" β
Qin Shiou said with a smile: "This carp meat is a little thicker, not as good as domestic carp, you wait and try this perch again, I think this is delicious." β
He picked up a dried fish that was not much bigger than an adult's palm and gave it to Zhong Dajun, who had never seen this kind of fish, so he asked what it was, and Qin Shiou introduced it to him: "Look at its eye circles and spots on its body, this is called golden-eyed wolf perch, it is a carnivorous guy, the meat is very tender and fine, and people like to eat it." β
As soon as the wolf perch was cut into two pieces, there was a woman with two children there to ask about the price of the carpet, Qin Shiou didn't have time to entertain, and shouted: "According to the price of the label, it is handled cheaply, the carpet is very clean, and you will definitely not suffer a loss if you buy it." β
The woman smiled, left some money in the box in front of the carpet, and left the child to leave on her own.
Zhong Dajun asked strangely, "What is she doing here?" Why did you put down your money and leave? β
