Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 497 Dumplings stuffed with shrimp and chives
The driver, Xiao Zhang, was from Zhangjiatun. His full name was Zhang Heng and his nickname was Erdan. His family was so poor that it was hard to describe. In the winter, there was only one pair of good pants for several brothers. His father was a drunkard and his mother raised the children alone. After he came back from the army, he finally changed his poor situation. Although it was hard to work for Li Hu, the money was really good and he was paid on time.
On the way back, Li Hu was calculating. There are now four stores in the provincial capital, one in the wholesale market and three in the ordinary vegetable market. The store in the vegetable market is okay, although it sells well, but the sales volume is not high. The store in the wholesale market is very strong, with sales of more than 1,000 kilograms a day. There are a total of six stores in the forest farm, county town, and urban area, and the sales volume is also several thousand kilograms a day.
It is speculated that there will be a big bonus before the Spring Festival. This year, wages have gradually increased compared to last year. Although the lives of ordinary people are difficult, they always buy some fish and shrimp during the Spring Festival. There are a total of ten stores, and the wholesale and retail are very scary. It is not impossible to sell tens of thousands of kilograms a day.
So we need to prepare the stock in advance. During the formalities of Hailong No. 1, Li Hu was busy going to the state-owned fishing company to discuss the purchase of goods. He paid a deposit and asked for 100,000 catties of Spanish mackerel. That thing is very cheap. The purchase price is 10 cents, and the selling price is 20 cents per catty. But it has more meat and less bones. It is delicious when fried or stewed. Small vendors wholesale it and drive big horse-drawn carts to sell it in the streets. This is a fish that sells in large quantities but does not make money. Hairtail has high profits, but the sales volume is slightly worse. Prawns are different. Although the sales volume is small, the profit is very high.
Li Hu's business strategy is to deal with both river fish and sea fish. He only deals in aquatic products and nothing else. However, aquatic products must be complete, with high, medium and low-end products.
"Sister, are you busy these days? The port should not be frozen during this period. I will go back to form a team, and you can go over to help guide them. It doesn't take long, three or four days will be enough. Before the Spring Festival is the peak season for seafood, and all kinds of seafood are in hot demand. We can catch some ourselves and purchase some more. It will be enough. A net profit of more than 100,000 yuan before the New Year will be no problem."
"You, don't always compare yourself with Xu Xiong. You are both in the same industry, just live a comfortable life. You eat delicious food every day, but does Xu Xiong have that? He watches a big color TV all day, but you don't have that either. It can only be said that each has its pros and cons. During this period, the production in the kimchi factory is normal and running well. There is indeed nothing wrong."
"Then come over and fish for a few days, and invite Daya, Erya, and Li Daniu along, they love to play."
"Okay, but three days at most. Any longer than that won't be appropriate. The kimchi factory is the priority."
In fact, Liu Xia Lian didn’t mention the key point. Although she was in good health when she became pregnant, she couldn’t overwork herself. If something went wrong with the child, it would be a waste of time.
Hailong No. 1 is the first sea-going vessel of the seafood store. Now there are three river vessels and one sea-going vessel. In comparison, the sea-going vessel makes more money. In addition, the ice on the Songhua River is half a meter thick recently. All three river vessels have stopped working and are only busy collecting fish.
So it is easy to organize manpower. The Hailong No. 1 is 45 meters long and has two large trawls. If it is fully equipped, it will require at least ten people, so that the work can be done efficiently.
It is rare to have a moment of leisure in life. When Liu Xia Lian returned to the village, she unloaded two large baskets of prawns from the commercial vehicle. This was not a New Year's welfare, but something she took home to eat.
The palm-sized prawns were frozen hard, and the prawns weighing nearly 100 kilograms were brought directly into the house.
As soon as we entered the yard, the hound Da Huang came to greet us. It was a free hound that didn't need a leash. The other guard dogs were all chained, mainly because Da Huang was very smart, he recognized people, and never barked randomly.
"Dahuang is so well behaved. What have you been doing at home these days?" Liu Xia Lian touched Dahuang's forehead.
Da Huang was jumping and hopping, and I don't know what to say, but it was having a blast, and it looked like it was busy.
"Mom, mom, where is mom?" Liu Xia Lian called out several times but her mother was nowhere to be seen.
I walked through the main room and came to the backyard, and saw my mother pushing a cart to feed the flying dragon birds. When they saw a stranger coming, they were scared and ran away.
Liu Xia Lian looked at the flying dragon birds all over the backyard in surprise. There were too many of them, at least two thousand.
Mother looked up at Liu Xialian and said, "Where are you going again? You're in a hurry. There are too many flying dragon birds. There are already more than 6,000 in the three farms. In the first two months, we only promoted it to 20 to 30 breeders, and each household asked for 30 to 50 birds. Compared with wild boars, flying dragon birds are too difficult to catch. Locals can easily catch a few with a net bag. Wild ones are not expensive, so restaurants prefer to use wild ones."
"Don't worry. Our breeding farm is only for the next ten or twenty years. By then, the number of flying dragon birds will be very small, and they will probably become protected animals. If you kill one, you will go to jail. By that time, if restaurants want to use flying dragon birds in their dishes, they must use farmed ones. Now the ones we raise are mainly for our own restaurants and for sending to the south. When the restaurant in Hong Kong opens, we will have to sell several thousand birds a month, and the supply and demand will still be balanced."
After hearing this, my mother naturally didn't believe it: "Stop bragging. I really don't believe that you will go to jail for shooting a bird. Now we send corn to the south every now and then, and we can send flying dragon birds as well."
"We are still shipping it now, but the quantity is very small. After all, the iced meat is not as good as the frozen one. After a few years, the output of our small yard will only be enough for one truckload of transportation. The journey is too long, and most of the animals that survive the transportation will die on the way. It is better to transport them frozen. Now we are renovating several frozen trucks. Once they are completed, our wild boar meat, sika deer meat, and roe deer meat will be able to be transported. By that time, you will find that the little we raise is not enough for the southerners to eat. The southerners are very picky about food."
Although the flying dragon bird weighs only about one pound, it eats a lot every day, at least more than 20 grams. After feeding the bird, the mother wiped her hands on her apron and came to the main room to see two baskets of prawns on the ground. She was surprised: "Oh my God, where did Xia Lian get these prawns? These prawns are too good. How do I eat them?"
"We really can't eat too much seafood. Eating too much will cause joint pain. I keep one basket at home and give the other to my mother-in-law and her family. There are many ways to eat it, such as frying, boiling, and making dumplings."
Mother praised: "Not bad, now that you are married, you know you are thinking about your mother-in-law. I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. Let's go to the old house to make dumplings. The chives in the shed are very tender."
Liu Xia Lian carried a basket of prawns to the old house. Sister Gui Lan had just finished inspecting the barn and was preparing to make lunch.
"Sister Guilan, let's make dumplings today. Let's make dumplings stuffed with leeks and prawns."
