Chapter 191 Chicken
Early the next morning, Wu Fei prepared the fish he was going to deliver today. Last night, he and Han Jingyu and Boss Chen, whom Ermeng helped introduce him last time, finally confirmed that in addition to the yellow thorn fish that was ordered last time, the Grand Rich Hotel also ordered two or three hundred kilograms of other fish.
Boss Chen, who bought fish from Wu Fei for the first time, asked for 20 three types of crucian carp, carp and bream. The crucian carp all have one more than one pound, while the other carp and bream are more than two pounds. It should be that he wanted to buy Wu Fei’s fish with the idea of trying it first.
Although it got up just dawn, the three of them worked for two or three hours to prepare all the fish. When Wu Fei finished breakfast and went out, it was past eight o'clock.
Wu Fei planned to deliver the fish to Boss Chen first. When he called just now, Han Jingyu was not at work yet. He asked Wu Fei to deliver the fish from about 9:30 to about 10:00, so he could just deliver the fish to Boss Chen first. After the delivery, the time was about the same.
Boss Chen’s hotel is on Xuefu Road, not a kilometer away from the hotel Wu Fei is renovating. Speaking of which, it will be a competitor in the future.
Boss Chen’s hotel is called Juyou Hotel, which is very close to the school. When Wu Fei arrived at the hotel, the hotel was just open.
Before coming, Wu Fei called Boss Chen. Wu Fei was waiting for Wu Fei when he arrived. Under the leadership of Boss Chen, Wu Fei parked the car at the back door of the hotel.
He helped put the fish into the fish tank in the restaurant. The crucian carp and carp combined were more than 70 kilograms, and the bream was about fifty kilograms, which were all counted as 2,310 yuan. Wu Fei collected Boss Chen's integer of 2,300.
"You brought a yellow thorn today. This yellow thorn is big enough. You are also raised by your reservoir, so what price is it for?"
When checking out, Boss Chen saw the yellow cypress separated by a fence inside the pickup truck and said to Wu Fei.
The yellow thorn croaker on the market is usually about three taels, which is much smaller than the ones raised in Wu Fei Reservoir. Each of the yellow thorn croaker I brought this time was more than half a pound.
Those who run a restaurant naturally know that such yellow thorn croaker is rare. Generally, fish farms will be sold after they are raised for about three taels, and the economic benefits will not be so high.
"It's all raised in the reservoir, and these are all delivered to the rich hotel. The price given to them is always 60 yuan per pound."
Wu Fei said that in fact, the price of wild yellow thorns has been sold for more than 70 yuan per catty. Even those who are raised in feed have increased by a few yuan per catty, and they have sold for 27 or 28 yuan.
I heard that Wu Fei's yellow thorn croaker actually costs 60 yuan per catty, but I thought that all the rich people bought Wu Fei's yellow thorn croaker, there should be a reason why it was a little more expensive. I thought about it and said to Wu Fei: "Give me some of them evenly and see how the yellow thorn croaker in your reservoir is like this."
Of course, Wu Fei didn't refuse if he could buy fish, but he still said to Lao Chen: "There are not many yellow thorns at home now. If you have to have large batches of yellow thorns, you will have to wait next year. These rich people have already paid, but it is still OK to get more than ten pieces of them."
"Then give me ten. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer wild yellow thorns, and fewer breeding are large."
After Old Chen finished speaking, he took a net bag from the restaurant to catch fish and started fishing himself.
"Boss Wu, do you have any local chickens sold in your family, or does anyone have local chickens in the village?"
"There are not many chickens at home, so they can eat them by themselves. It seems that no one in the village raises many chickens, and there are usually only a dozen. Why does Boss Chen need local chickens?"
"In the past, there was a fellow villager who often delivered local chickens to my shop, but after a while, he would go to his son's place in another place to retire. He had sent local chickens for two or three years to my shop. He had never been worried about chickens before. The teachers in the school also liked to come to my house for dinner. Local chickens are almost a must-order dish every time."
Boss Chen said to Wu Fei: "It won't take long to get out of stock. I can't find a place with stable supply at once. If I buy it on the market, I may not be able to buy real native chickens. I heard Ermeng say that you are developing a breeding industry in the village, so I asked if your family has fed native chickens."
"There are too many things this year. I plan to feed some local chickens in the orchard next year. Boss Chen will come to me for buying chickens."
When he left, Wu Fei said to Boss Chen. Anyway, it will be next year to raise chickens. Regardless of whether or not the chickens are fed, leave a reason here first. If it is really fed, there will be more preparatory customers.
In the past, when there were many people working at home in the countryside, almost every household had fed chickens, with a small amount of 10 or 20 or 30 or 50 or 30 or 50.
Because there were many people in the family at that time, unlike now, almost all the strong laborers went out to work. Usually, there were a lot of leftovers, which were used to feed chickens and pigs.
There are many dishes in the field, which are usually too late to finish. If you take them to the town, you don’t have enough to sell them, so most of them are taken home to feed the chickens.
In addition to the food he eats, many of them are extra, and they are usually sold a little. Wu Fei remembered that when he was studying at home, he would sell twenty or thirty chickens every year during the Chinese New Year.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, castrated roosters are best sold. A castrated rooster usually costs six or seven kilograms. A few days before the Chinese New Year, castrated roosters can be sold for more than 30 yuan per kilogram. A castrated rooster can be sold for about two hundred yuan.
At that time, Wu Fei's family sold three or four thousand yuan every year.
However, such a large castrated chicken is generally not easy to sell at other times except during the Chinese New Year because it is too big. Usually, it takes several meals for three or five people at home to finish eating.
Only during the Chinese New Year will people buy one or two for the New Year. For example, when Wu Fei and his family celebrate the New Year, they kill two castrated chickens every year.
One is cooked on the evening of New Year's Eve, and it is usually eaten until the second and third day of the New Year. For the other one, wait until the relatives who are coming to pay New Year's greetings are almost done, and then cook it to eat.
However, during the Chinese New Year every year, the two big castrated chickens killed must be eaten until the seventh or eighth day of the lunar month.
Usually, when people eat chicken, they usually eat hens or roosters. They usually have not started laying eggs. Compared with old hens, the hens are tender and do not have as much oil.
For example, the old hen that has been in the past several years, even if the oil in the stomach is cleaned when it is killed, there will still be a lot of oil when it is cooked. If you eat too much, you will feel greasy. Therefore, when Wu Fei and his family cook the old hens, they usually put some dried bamboo shoots in, so that the cooked old hens will not feel so greasy.
