"Aze is back so soon?"
"How long has it been?"
"Aze has always been like this."
Zhang Ze: “.”
What a mess. Can he just go out to sea for a few days?
When Zhang Ze arrived at the dock, he took out two clean plastic baskets, laid ice in them, and put away the top-quality seafood he had cultivated this time.
The quantity is not large, and it is estimated that three large seafood boats can consume it all in a week, and this even includes bluefin tuna.
Currently we use big fish to prepare fish banquets, but we will revise the process later.
It is impossible for a table of dishes to be filled with only the best seafood; slightly inferior seafood will also be mixed in.
Items like abalone, sea cucumber and some premium conchs are currently being imported from other places.
Although they mainly serve seafood, that doesn’t mean they don’t also have delicacies from wild animals.
They have dragon meat from the sky and donkey meat from the ground here. Although the flying dragon bird is a second-level protected animal in later generations, it is not under protection now.
However, it is not easy to purchase goods from the Northeast, as the goods are not available every day.
There are also top-notch wild game such as civet cats, wild delicacies picked by villagers in the mountains, etc. which are also ingredients.
After the revision and adding these, the consumption of top-quality seafood will not be as much as imagined.
Except for the Chixian Seafood Restaurant, Zhang Ze thinks that the other two seafood restaurants should set a standard of 18 dishes, with seafood accounting for one third or half of them.
After waiting on the boat for about an hour, Lin Hu arrived in a truck.
It was the third sister who called to inform people. Now Lin Long and Lin Hu were not in the village during the day, so she became the contact person.
After Zhang Ze opened the seafood boat, he would no longer sell his catch to others. All of it would be sold to the seafood boat, so Jin Guangcheng would not come to join in the fun now.
Because even if the seafood is not expensive, it will be consumed quickly in the seafood restaurant.
The fish he caught each time he went out to sea could not meet the consumption of the seafood restaurant, so Lin Hu took a fleet of cars to other places to purchase large quantities of goods.
"How is the seafood restaurant business these days?" Zhang Ze asked.
Lin Hu sighed, "Busy, too busy, almost never stopped. I always thought that the seafood restaurant was priced so high that people would only come occasionally, but I really didn't expect there would be so many people."
In this regard, Zhang Ze also lamented that the demographic dividend is no joke.
There are so many people in Nanguan, even if a family comes once a month or even once every two months, it would be enough to keep the seafood restaurant busy.
But this should only be temporary. Competition is everywhere, and someone will definitely imitate him next.
Of course, if the quality of the ingredients is not good enough and it is a latecomer, it will be difficult to surpass his seafood restaurant. At most, it will divert a group of customers.
The most important thing about the seafood restaurant are its three large ships. As long as local wealthy people are willing to come, the status of this seafood restaurant will be maintained and eventually become a signature dish of Nanfang.
"By the way, these two baskets of seafood should be put separately. The seafood here is of very high quality, and I plan to sell them separately at a higher price."
The same fish was sold at a higher price. Lin Hu was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't ask the reason and just did as Zhang Ze instructed.
After all the fish were moved onto the truck, Zhang Ze sat in the passenger seat and went to the city to find Zhao Xianghua.
As for the fishing boat, I asked my third sister to arrange someone to clean it.
When they arrived in the city, the truck first stopped next to Zhao Xianghua's restaurant.
Zhang Ze got out of the car, took a common blue grouper, a flower dragon and two extra-large black tiger shrimps, and then walked into the restaurant.
Lin Hu continued to deliver the goods to the seafood restaurant and calculate the price. Of course, the batch of top-quality seafood was placed there first, so there was no need to calculate the price for the time being.
After entering the restaurant, Zhang Ze said that there was no need for a reception, and went to the kitchen by himself, found the chef and handed the ingredients to him.
The chef was a connoisseur of seafood. Before he could say anything, he was surprised and said, "Wow, such good seafood. Look at this fish, its belly is so fat."
"Master, this is the seafood I specially selected. I will let Brother Hua taste it later. Please try your best to ensure its original flavor." Zhang Ze handed the things over and instructed.
"Okay, I understand." The master didn't know what he was going to do specifically, but since he was going to let the boss taste it, he did it himself.
After leaving the kitchen, Zhang Ze went to the office upstairs.
Zhao Xianghua was very surprised to see the person coming: "Aze, when did you come back? How come you have time to come to my place today?"
Zhang Ze sat on the sofa in a very familiar manner: "I just came back. I brought some seafood today. You can try it later. Then I have something to discuss with you."
“Something to do with seafood?”
"That's for sure."
"Can't you tell me first?"
"That's okay, but it would be better if you try the seafood."
"Okay!" Zhao Xianghua couldn't guess what puzzle Zhang Ze was solving at the moment, so he had to wait.
After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in several seafood dishes prepared by the chef.
The methods are relatively simple, and we try to keep the original flavor as much as possible according to Zhang Ze's requirements.
It was almost noon now, and Zhao Xianghua was actually a little hungry, so he simply started eating the seafood.
He picked up a piece of fish first, but as soon as he put it in his mouth, he was stunned. This oily fish flavor, is it really what the blue grouper can have? Could he have seen it wrong? Of course he knew what the blue grouper looked like, it was the most consumed type of grouper in the store.
But its appearance changed drastically after it was cooked, so it's no wonder he suspected he had made a mistake.
"Aze, what kind of grouper is this? It tastes no worse than grouper."
"you guess."
"I can't guess it. At first I thought it was blue spot, but the texture and taste are not similar. It tastes much better than blue spot."
"It's blue spots!" Zhang Ze said with a smile.
Zhao Xianghua was shocked: "How is that possible? I've eaten blue spot before. Even if it's about a pound of tender meat, it can't reach this level, right?"
"Try other seafood and I'll tell you the reason then." Zhang Ze pursed his lips, indicating that he should continue eating something else.
Seeing this, Zhao Xianghua also tasted other seafood.
The larger the black tiger shrimp is, the rougher the meat is. In fact, it is not suitable for blanching, especially the shrimp paste, which becomes hard and greasy after blanching and really not delicious.
But the taste of the black tiger shrimp was completely beyond his expectations. Although the meat was a little hard, it was extremely elastic.
The shrimp paste is very fragrant and the shrimp flavor is even stronger. It is very delicious even without any dipping sauce.
Not to mention lobster, which is delicious in itself, but now he is even more doubtful whether what he is eating is a lobster.
"What's going on? Why do these seafoods taste so good?"
Zhao Xianghua was full of questions. He felt that how come these common seafoods were no worse than the highest-grade premium seafoods in the blink of an eye?
"Brother Hua, you should know that for the same kind of fish, different sizes, different seasons, and different fatness will all affect the quality of the fish, right?" Zhang Ze began to explain after seeing that he had tasted it.
Zhao Xianghua nodded. People who run seafood restaurants naturally know a lot about seafood and understand this principle.
"Every time I go fishing, I always get seafood of exceptional quality, the best of the best. I often bring these home for my family to taste. After all, the price is the same, so I will definitely keep the good ones for myself."
"But now we have opened a seafood restaurant together. When the three big ships opened, they used big fish to attract customers, but there are not so many big fish! So I thought of using these top-quality seafood instead."
"Red fin tuna is fine. There are many bluefin tuna that are suitable for sashimi. I can catch a few every time I go out to sea. Lin Hu and his friends can also buy some from ocean-going ships."
"But the other two seafood restaurants cannot do that and must be transformed."
Zhang Ze gradually told him his ideas, including how to hype up the best seafood and how to introduce the grading system of bluefin tuna from Xiao Rizi.
Of course, before the operation, Zhao Xianghua needs to invite some bigwigs from Nanfang to a banquet and let them taste the top-quality seafood before making any further requests.
We will definitely prepare a big fish banquet, but if it is out of stock, we can use the best seafood as a transition.
In other words, the blue crabs haven’t come out yet, otherwise Zhang Ze would have planned to use the yellow crabs to shock these people.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Butter crabs first appeared in Hong Kong Island in the early 1990s, and were later gradually farmed in China.
He brought this out this year, which is equivalent to bringing it forward ten years.
But the butter crab can definitely become the treasure of the seafood restaurant, and it is what really makes the seafood restaurant stand out.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ze's heart suddenly moved.
There are many wild blue crabs now, but they will become less and less in a few years, so why not start investing some money in breeding? This way, when the butter crabs appear in large quantities on the market, there will be a source.
Anyway, this thing is divided into grades. If you cultivate it yourself, just give it a grade and set it as S grade.
After discussing the matter of the premium seafood with Zhao Xianghua and telling him that he had got two baskets in the refrigerated warehouse at the dock, Zhang Ze left the restaurant and went home to see his baby.
No matter what happens, it is not as important as him taking care of the baby now.
Xiao Zhaonan will now smile at him when he is teased, which makes him, as an old father, even more reluctant to leave home and wish to be with his child every day.
But time waits for no one, and things have to be done one by one.
Zhao Xianghua promoted the premium seafood so that wealthy people would accept it.
Zhang Ze himself applied to the local land bureau for permission to engage in blue crab farming.
In the past two years, local people in Nansha District learned blue crab breeding technology from other places and began to engage in breeding in Nansha one after another.
The Nansha blue crab, which became famous in later generations, originated around this time.
However, there was no concept of butter crabs at that time, and the locals did not know what kind of feed butter crabs needed.
There is not much market for blue crabs in Wenshui City, but the treatment in Sanmen, next to Wenshui City, is completely different.
The market in Nanfang is also okay. Although it is cheap, at least the market can accept it.
It is not surprising that Zhang Ze went to Nansha District to engage in pond farming of blue crabs, because a small number of people have already started farming.
But he had a lot of capital, so he started with an area of 100 acres and hired people to enclose the farm.
Supervisor Zhang Ze found a relative of his brother-in-law Jiang Jiming, a young man whose family was very poor and who could only find temporary jobs.
He offered the young man a salary of fifty-one months and asked him to supervise the work while learning some relevant knowledge about blue crab farming as soon as possible.
Of course, Zhang Ze also hired two other masters who knew how to raise blue crabs.
The local villagers in Nansha know this technology, but they just don’t have the money to do it.
If all goes well, the blue crab farm will be able to produce a large number of blue crabs in the second half of the year.
There was one thing Zhang Ze was quite curious about. He wondered whether the blue crabs he raised at home could be grown in the breeding pond.
If that were possible, he wouldn't have to go out and catch wild blue crabs.
If not, he will be in trouble, and when the resources are exhausted, he will not be able to cultivate many S-level butter crabs.
But by that time, he would probably already be retiring.
Time passed day by day, and by the time the pond enclosure and gates were completed and the farm was disinfected and ready for formal breeding, three months had passed and it was April.
The weather in Nanfang has become quite hot, with daytime temperatures reaching over 15 degrees.
People have changed their cotton jackets into thin long-sleeved or even short-sleeved ones, and the girls on the street have also started wearing skirts and hi-tops.
However, most girls would not want to wear a sexy short skirt with high heels.
Only people with a passionate personality or doing some special work at night would dress like this.
Even though Nanfang is more open-minded because of the Hong Kong culture, there are still some standards that people cannot accept.
But Zhang Qinghe was happy. He had saved a lot of money from so many trips to sea. He would look at pretty girls on the street during the day and occasionally go to places he liked at night. As a result, he actually hooked up with an 18-year-old beautiful girl with a great figure.
Zhang Ze didn't expect that he would let himself go after coming here. After trying to persuade him several times without any effect, he just ignored it. After all, he was not his father.
Besides, he couldn't take care of that because the farm was already ready for breeding and he needed enough crab seedlings.
The technology of artificial crab seedlings is not mature even in later generations, and crab seedlings are basically caught in the wild.
Blue crabs have begun to reproduce in this season, but it has not yet reached its peak.
There are two peak seasons in Nanfang, from May to July and from September to November.
Although it is not May yet, because the farms can start breeding, he has customized fixed nets specifically for catching crab fry.
This kind of net is fixed on the mudflats where blue crabs appear, and when the tide rises, the crab fry will enter the net with the tide and can be collected.
So Zhang Ze drove the Duoyu to the mangrove area where the traps had been placed before.
He hoisted the trolling boat into the water and lifted up two custom-made crab nets and two ground traps.
First, put out the traps, then drive the boat to the shore, take off your shoes, roll up your pants to your thighs, come down with the fixed net, step on the mudflat and start setting it up.
It is low tide now, and a large number of mudflats on the mangrove side are exposed, with blue crab holes everywhere.
This is my first crabbing trip of the year, and I think we'll have a good harvest.
The blue crabs crawled out in March, and they are probably all very fat now.
Although thin blue crabs can also be cultivated, fat ones require less experience points. If there are a large number of them, he will definitely choose the fat ones.
After three months, the space level has reached level 43, not much improvement.
However, there are a lot of experience points saved, more than 67,000, which he can use as he pleases. (End of this chapter)
