Chapter 3 High-end seafood that is in demand
After chatting with Xiang Yang, Fatty Zuo's heart was like a cat scratching, he had already flown to Qinglong Bend, bid farewell to Xiang Yang and ran towards the beach.
Xiang Yang didn't care, and walked towards his home with a large bag of sea cucumbers. The temperature on the land was high, and the sea cucumbers had to be processed quickly, or they would melt in a while.
Along the way, Xiang Yang enjoyed the envious eyes of the villagers. Even with the town's purchase price of several thousand yuan, it was not a small sum of money in Yanlong Village.
Back home, when Mother Xiang, who was stringing shells, saw the large bundle of sea cucumbers, her eyes lit up and she was overjoyed.
Immediately afterwards, when Xiang Yang said that he wanted to keep two of them for himself, he immediately became unhappy, Such an ugly sea caterpillar is disgusting to look at, what is there to eat? Let your father send it to me after it is cooked. I went to sell it on the street, and I bought two catties of lychees by the way.
How could Xiang's mother be willing to eat something that cost hundreds of dollars a catty? This is not eating, it is eating her lifeblood! As for looking like a caterpillar? Bullshit, who grew up by the sea and didn't know that sea cucumber is a delicacy?
Xiang Yang looked at his mother who was carefully cooking sea cucumbers and smiled wryly, but didn't say anything. The family is indeed too poor. This kind of thing that costs thousands of dollars a catty, not to mention my mother, if it is not for the change of my mentality after getting the mysterious jade shell, Xiang Yang himself would definitely not want to eat it, but he told his mother to buy it. Two catties of lychees came back, but Xiang Yang expressed his inability to complain.
The method of processing sea cucumbers is not difficult. Clean the internal organs, wash them, cook them in boiling water, then add an appropriate amount of coarse salt to marinate them, and finally hang them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Consumers buy them when they re-water them. It will be more troublesome.
While cooking, Xiang's mother muttered, There are so many sea caterpillars, this is a big deal. I will ask your dad not to go out tomorrow, and go to the town to talk about the price with those seafood collectors first.
Xiang Yang's father is also a fisherman, but with the depletion of fishery resources, he has found another way out. He often finds odd jobs outside. Now he is helping people guard the lychee garden. It costs 70 yuan a day. The job is very easy, mainly to prevent some hands and feet. If it is not clean, I will also help pick lychees, but the income is not very high.
Mother Xiang's calculations are very good. The price of sea cucumbers fluctuates greatly. Ten catties of sea cucumbers need to go to two more purchasing locations to negotiate a good price. It is definitely more than seventy yuan.
Xiang Yang actually smiled, if these sea cucumbers were really sold in the town for three to four hundred yuan a catty, he would be laughed to death by his classmates and teachers in college. Xiang Yang took two photos with his old Honor 4, and then went into the house, Mom, these sea cucumbers are not sold in the town, I will find someone online to buy them.
Mother Xiang was a little wary, Online? You lost your shells once before when the courier sent them. These are not your shells, which cost thousands of dollars. They won't be lost on the way, right?
No way, if it is lost on the road, the courier company will pay for it. Xiang Yang comforted his mother with a smile, and then went into his room.
Xiang Yang has been in the shell and wind chime business online for a year, and has accumulated a lot of customers. He also has his own user group, and he also knows some bosses who like to collect shells. There was a burst of exclamation.
A live sea cucumber is as thick as an arm?
Sea cucumber, this is a good thing. I bought some for the leader last year during Chinese New Year. It costs more than two thousand yuan a catty.
Hiss, two thousand yuan a catty? Farewell!
The one I bought is much smaller than this one. It should be wild. These are so fat. They should be farmed. Maybe they are not so expensive!
You don't know it at first glance. Look at this tentacle. It's clearly wild, and it's the best quality. It costs 2,000 yuan a catty. Yours must be the real farmed one.
There was a lot of exclamation from the user group, but not many people asked about the price. Sea cucumbers have always been extremely precious things, which are not affordable for ordinary people.
Xiang Yang was not in a hurry either. In addition to some ordinary customers who bought wind chimes to join in the group, there were also some rich shell high-playing players. Wild sea cucumbers were always priceless, and many rich people bought them. The channels are staring everywhere, worrying about not being able to sell.
Li Chao is a senior shell high player. Over the years, he has been involved in various shell and ornamental fish trading groups. He himself even owns a big hotel, so he has a strong net worth.
Since joining Xiang Yang's shell user group, Li Chao has never spoken a word, and has never bought any shells. Without him, the shells provided by Xiang Yang before could not catch Li Chao's eyes, but in his free time, Li Chao often spy screen.
Today, as usual, Li Chao glanced at various groups, wondering if he could get something good.
Looking at the various groups, Li Chao's heart was completely empty.
Suddenly, Li Chao who was sitting in the office trembled and his eyes widened.
Sea cucumbers are the best in the wild! Li Chao suddenly became excited. Although this is not his favorite shell, it is something he urgently needs. His hotel is a high-end hotel, and although catering is not his most important It is a profitable item, but it can also be regarded as a huge part of the profit in his hotel.
However, the supply of high-end seafood on the market today is completely in short supply, and the supply is tight and there is no way to find goods. Many high-end seafood such as yellow lip fish and blue crucian tuna have set up a special department in many high-end hotels. What are the people in this department all year round? If they don't do it, they just stare at the various shipping channels of these high-end products, and fly over to snap up the goods as soon as they appear, as if they were fighting a war.
Although this wild sea cucumber is not as precious as yellow lip fish and blue crucian carp tuna, it is also a rare high-end ingredient.
Apart from anything else, Li Chao immediately chatted with Xiang Yang in private, willing to pay 5,000 yuan per catty to buy all the sea cucumbers in Xiang Yang's hands.
Xiang Yang was slightly startled when he heard the price. Although he knew that wild sea cucumbers are very precious, he still clicked his tongue when he heard the price. Xiang Yang felt that it was a sky-high price for a two-pound Jinxiu lobster costing more than 4,000 yuan. This sea cucumber was more expensive than that Jinxiu lobster.
Through the conversation on the penguin, Li Chao learned that Xiang Yang was within the scope of Longcheng City, and immediately said that these sea cucumbers do not need to be processed, they should be frozen in the refrigerator, and his people will come to collect the goods tonight.
Xiang Yang was naturally happy and leisurely, so he agreed immediately.
As soon as the transaction was completed, Xiang Yang's mobile phone rang one message after another to remind him.
It turned out that although most of the individuals in the group did not have the spending power, they somehow spread the news. Immediately, all the guys from the purchasing department of big hotels came over.
When they learned that the transaction had been completed, they all expressed their regrets, and told Xiang Yang to go to them first when he got a good product.
