Chapter 102 Actually I'm Wild
After lunch, Wu Fei took a photo of the three turtles with his mobile phone and sent it to Han Jingyu using WeChat.
Speaking of which, Wu Fei added Han Jingyu as a friend when Han Jingyu bought fruit for the first time. However, after adding Han Jingyu as a friend, this was the first time Wu Fei sent a message to the other party.
For Wu Fei, the biggest benefit of WeChat is that he doesn’t need to carry a wallet when he goes out to buy things. As for when something happens, Wu Fei is accustomed to calling directly. If there is anything, he can explain it clearly directly, which is simple and fast.
Sometimes I really can’t bear to say something on WeChat, and I’m still waiting for a reply for a long time.
Especially sometimes, when you wait for the other person for a long time, you think that the other person doesn't have his mobile phone, and then you plan to put it down without waiting.
As a result, the other party will send back another message at this time. Then you will be in an infinite loop in this process, making you have no intention to do anything.
Also, what Wu Fei is most afraid of is that if you talk for a long time in there, or type a lot of words, the other person will come back with "um um um" or "hehe".
Things like this really make people crazy.
Of course, it is still very convenient to upload a picture, file or short video.
Just a moment after the photo was sent, Han Jingyu called. It seemed that Wu Fei's turtle was waiting impatiently.
Han Jingyu's voice came from the mobile phone with a little eagerness and excitement: "Boss Wu, when were these three turtles caught? Are they still in your hands now?"
Hearing Han Jingyu's words, Wu Fei said: "We caught them all yesterday. We caught several of them. But these three are the bigger ones, and the others are a bit smaller. They are all raised at home now."
Hearing Wu Fei say that he had captured several, Han Jingyu on the opposite side couldn't help but raise his voice: "There are others, that's great. No matter how big or small, keep them for me. I want them all. I'll wait."
Just drive over and get it next time, and be sure not to buy it for anyone else."
"That's not possible. I can only leave you two. One of them already has an owner. But I can keep the other few for you. It depends on whether you want them or not."
In fact, many of the real wild turtles sold in the market are relatively small. Nowadays, the ones weighing about one pound are not considered small. Even then, they cost about three hundred yuan each.
It's so small. Usually the sellers won't talk to you about how much it costs per pound and just talk about how much it costs per piece. Even if the price is higher, if you meet people who like the taste, they don't care if it costs hundreds or hundreds. The main thing is now.
There are too few wild turtles like this.
For example, among the turtles that Wu Fei caught yesterday, in addition to four that weighed about three kilograms, there were two that weighed about half a kilogram, and the other two weighed about one and a half kilograms.
If you take it to the market and sell it, even the two weighing one and a half pounds can be sold for more than 600. But if you compare it with those big ones, there is a huge difference.
For example, the price of a two-pound wild turtle in the market is generally over 500 per pound. The bigger the fish, the more expensive it is, almost every pound.
As for the artificially cultured turtles we usually buy in the market, the price is generally around sixty or seventy yuan per pound.
There are many so-called wild turtles, and almost 99% of them are pretending to be artificially cultured turtles. You need to be especially careful when buying them.
You know, real wild turtles are very rare now. If someone is lucky, he can catch one or two at once.
Even if you don't eat it and sell it, you usually can't leave your village, or you'll have to sell it at the nearest country market. There are very few opportunities to move to big cities.
Anyway, when Wu Fei was in Shenzhen, he ate many fake local chickens and ducks bought by his colleagues. Even the chickens and ducks were fake, not to mention the rare wild turtles.
As for distinguishing whether it is a real wild turtle, it is actually easy to distinguish.
First, look at the appearance of the turtle's carapace. The surface of the wild turtle's carapace is smooth and smooth, with a thin, waxy skin, and a relatively obvious carapace outline. The domestic turtle's carapace is slightly thicker, rough and matte, like toad skin.
, it is not easy to see the outline of the carapace.
The second thing is to look at the color. Wild turtles are mostly gray-black, earthy yellow, or brown with low black spots.
Domestic soft-shelled turtles are generally green, mostly black with green, yellow with green, moss green, etc.
Also, look at the shape. Due to long-term movement and foraging for food, wild soft-shelled turtles have a strong, slightly flat body with tight muscles.
Domestic turtles generally lack exercise, have swollen bodies, are thick and clumsy, and have soft muscles. To put it simply, this is the difference between domestic pigs and wild boars.
The last step is to touch it with your hands. Press the abdomen of the turtle with your fingers. The abdominal cartilage of wild turtles has good elasticity and hardness, and the rebound force is strong when pressed with your fingers.
The abdominal cartilage of domestic soft-shelled turtles is weak in elasticity. If you press it with your fingers, it will feel soft and without much elasticity.
Anyway, in big cities, it is difficult to buy real wild turtles in ordinary markets. Even if you can buy them, there is a high chance that they are fakes.
If you want to eat real wild turtles or authentic game in big cities, you can usually only go to big hotels or private restaurants with good reputations.
Because private restaurants generally have their own specific channels where you can buy real game, or the boss himself is from the countryside and still retains the previous relationship.
For big hotels, there are usually people who specialize in purchasing these things, or people who specially deliver them to the hotel.
Ermeng, for example, often collects wild game and wild game at markets in villages or countryside, and sends it to farmers in the county. If he gets something rare, he will go to a big hotel to sell it at a high price.
Ermeng has been in this business for many years. The county is only that big, and there are only a few people who can afford real mountain goods. Over time, those people generally know each other.
Like the big turtles that Wu Fei caught yesterday, even if they were placed in the Monopoly Hotel, they would not be included in the menu. Ordinary guests would not have the chance to see them, and they would digest them in a relatively small circle.
Lost.
Anyway, when Wu Fei sent the eel last time, he didn’t see any new dishes coming out of the hotel. Wu Fei even asked someone to find out, and found out that during that period of time, the Regal Hotel didn’t have any new dishes about wild eels.
However, I heard Kang Liu say it once, saying that when Uncle Kang had a meal with a department leader in the county, he ate the same eel that Wu Fei sent to Kang Liu's family, but it was smaller than the one Wu Fei sent.
.
I heard that a plate costs 666 yuan. I also said that when Uncle Kang went to treat us two days later and wanted to order the rice eel, he said that it had been sold out long ago.
I remember when I sold it for 100 yuan per catty, I thought the price was very good. Who knew that people just made it casually and sold it for 600 to 700 yuan a plate.
Even Wu Fei wouldn't believe that a plate of eel in the hotel would weigh more than a catty. Calculating it this way, the eel that costs 100 yuan per catty is at least sold by the Regal Hotel for more than 700 yuan per catty. That's it,
You may not be able to eat what you want.
