Chapter 642 One thousand eight hundred yuan per pound of edible gray scorpion
"Hello Lin Feng, I took the liberty of disturbing you. I went to your scorpion breeding ground without your consent. I'm sorry!"
Zhang Qiaolan apologized to Lin Feng as soon as they met.
Originally, she didn't want to come over.
After all, it would take seven or eight hours to drive for such a long distance.
According to her idea, she would ask Lin Feng or Xia Xiaomei to send a batch of scorpion samples to their purchasing department for testing, and then let the kitchen boss take a look and adopt them if possible.
If it doesn't work, abandon it.
Because she didn't care about Lin Feng's self-introduction.
I think Lin Feng is just bragging deliberately for his own benefit.
Unexpectedly, boss Song Zhiyan's personal bodyguard Yu Fenghuang asked her for information about Lin Feng, Xia Xiaomei and others.
And retrieved images from the surveillance equipment inside the restaurant.
She knew that Song Zhiyan was interested in Lin Feng, so she told Jade Phoenix everything she knew.
In the end, Yu Fenghuang immediately decided to let her lead the way to check Xie Zi's reputation and find out the details of Lin Feng.
Of course, Zhang Qiaolan would cooperate with this.
Jade Phoenix was the most famous person in front of Song Jiyan, and she was more famous than the general manager of the restaurant. She couldn't even be happy that she could ask for help.
However, Song Zhiyan's assistant Jiang Yingxue also took Lan Fenghuang to a small village in Zhou County, Nanjiang to investigate a secret matter.
So the four people formed a team. As staff of the restaurant's purchasing department, they drove to Taoyuan Town on the pretext of inspecting many ingredients in the kitchen. Then Zhang Qiaolan's friend Xia Xiaomei led the way to Lin Feng's scorpion breeding base.
Field trips.
"It's okay, you are welcome to come and inspect our scorpion breeding base."
Lin Feng extended his hand generously and shook hands with Zhang Qiaolan.
Xia Xiaomei had informed him before, so he naturally didn't show much surprise.
He just glanced at the two phoenixes slightly and then looked away.
Doubts arose in my heart.
We are just inspecting Scorpions, why bring two extraordinary martial arts masters with us?
Jade Phoenix and Blue Phoenix just smiled at Lin Feng and remained silent.
Zhang Qiaolan introduced Jiang Yingxue and the two Phoenixes to Lin Feng.
It was said that the three of them were all staff of the purchasing department. They were out to inspect the quality and production areas of many food ingredients in the restaurant, so they stopped by to inspect the scorpion breeding base.
After that, they will go to other places to inspect the conditions of other production areas such as vegetables, grains and so on.
After hearing this explanation, Lin Feng nodded repeatedly and greeted them with a smile on his face.
But it was like a clear mirror in my heart.
He knew that these people must be sent by Song Jiyan, the owner of Scorpio Restaurant, to investigate his background.
Moreover, from Tang Qing's words, we learned that these people were probably here for the pearl corn.
Visiting the Scorpion base is just an excuse.
So I became more vigilant.
However, he is not afraid either.
Whatever moves the other party has, he will take them out.
On the other hand, Zhou Jing and Wu Mei enthusiastically introduced to them how good the Scorpions in their base were.
They are eager to cash out Scorpion as soon as possible to enrich their cash flow and make other arrangements.
Lin Feng ordered Sun Weixing and others to unload the drone.
He then asked Xia Xiaomei to call Zhang Qiaolan aside and ask how Scorpion was doing.
"Scorpion is very good, both in terms of quality and color. They are all top-notch. As for the price, it's easy to negotiate."
Zhang Qiaolan told the truth.
She has been purchasing scorpion ingredients, but she has never seen a scorpion like the one raised by Lin Feng. It is big and strong, similar to wild gray scorpions, and even stronger than wild ones.
The scorpions in other farms are grown with feed. Although they also grow large, they are not as flexible as this kind of scorpion, or their body color.
So she made the decision without hesitation.
"The price of our scorpions must be at least twice as high as the wild scorpions on the market. As for the scorpions from those farms, there is no way to compare with our scorpions.
Because our scorpions are special scorpions, and I raise them using a special method.
If you don’t believe it, you can take a few to the food inspection department or the drug inspection department for various tests, which are guaranteed to be eye-opening and full of surprises for you.”
Lin Feng said calmly.
He inquired about the price of edible scorpions in the market outside, which is more than 400 yuan per catty. They come from breeding farms.
The wild gray scorpion costs 850 yuan per pound.
If their scorpions were to be sold, they would cost at least 1,780 yuan per pound.
This kind of scorpion is fed pearl corn and sorghum corn, mixed with live food.
The live food also grew up eating the scraps of pearl corn.
This feeding method is unmatched by any farm.
No one can replicate the success.
Therefore, Lin Feng is confident to raise the price so high.
However, as soon as he said these words, everyone around him was shocked.
Zhou Jing, Wu Mei, and Tang Qing were all surprised.
Regarding the price of scorpions, the three of them have never communicated with Lin Feng, and they don't know how much a pound of scorpions cost.
Xia Xiaomei and Zhang Qiaolan were even more surprised.
The two of them know the scorpion buying and selling market better than others.
Therefore, there was a slight shock in the atmosphere.
Afterwards, Zhang Qiaolan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, can you tell me how special it is to breed this kind of scorpion?"
Jiang Yingxue and the two Phoenixes remained silent, staring at Lin Feng with puzzled expressions like the others.
"Well, I won't tell you, after all, this is my secret.
Of course, I can allow you to take a batch of scorpions for experiments and make dishes to see if they are loved by diners. You can also take them to the food safety inspection department for testing, which I welcome."
Lin Feng was full of confidence.
Then he added: "In addition, our kind of scorpion is called the Fairy-Eating Scorpion."
"Immortal treasure eating scorpion?"
Zhang Qiaolan murmured.
On the other hand, Xia Xiaomei praised: "Xianzhen Scorpion, what a good name."
"Of course, the names we choose are all good names."
Zhou Jing said proudly.
"The name is a good one, but the price is a bit expensive, twice as expensive as the wild ones. This exceeds the expected purchase plan, and we can't make the decision. We have to go back and discuss it."
Jiang Yingxue, who had been silent all this time, said.
He added: "Mr. Lin, you just said that we can take a batch of sample scorpions back for research. If it is really called Xianzhen Food as your name says, then we can afford the price.
But if the name is not worthy of the name, then the price will have to be lowered."
In fact, Jiang Yingxue is not responsible for the procurement of ingredients.
But among the four of them, she is the only one with a higher position and greater power, so naturally she has more weight to speak.
