Chapter 438: Food Guide (Part 2)

"Yes! This fish tastes good, but it has too many spines. Don't you foreigners like to eat fish with spines?" After taking a bite, Jiang Hai picked out the fish bones and looked at Dufamen in front of him. asked.

This fish does taste fresh and quite good, but it also has too many spines, making it very troublesome to eat.

"Haha, that's why I fry it like this. After crisping the spines, it still tastes very good." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dufamen also laughed and said, the most delicious fish is braised in braised sauce, but This is the reason why you eat it fried.

"What kind of fish is this?" Jiang Hai was not used to eating the fish bones together, so he said while picking the fish bones.

"This is the Yangtze saury." After hearing his words, Qi Li, who had been picking up fish bones and eating fish behind him, interrupted and said.

"Yangtze River saury? Is this the Yangtze saury?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Qi Li's words.

Because the Yangtze saury has been very popular in recent years, from tens of yuan per pound to hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Before going abroad, Jiang Hai had already heard of the Yangtze River saury, and even went to the aquatic product market to have a look. However, there was no Yangtze saury in the aquatic product market in Bingcheng, only saury, but the saury was not expensive. Later he found out Know.

It is said to be the Yangtze River saury, but in fact this fish has nothing to do with the saury. The so-called saury refers to the hairtail fish. This fish can grow to more than one meter in length and has a very high yield. It is one of the most productive marine fish.

Mainly produced in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, they are basically found in warm waters and can also be cultured.

Jiang Hai's manor is located in the Atlantic Ocean. There are also such things, but there are very few. The taste of this kind of fish is average. And the meat quality is also very average, so Jiang Hai would not catch it normally, just like the hairtail fish in Jiang Hai's manor. The largest one is almost 1.5 meters long, and I don’t know how much longer it will grow. No matter how big it gets, Jiang Hai has no intention of eating it anyway.

Yangtze saury is not this type of hairtail, it is a freshwater fish whose scientific name is long-jawed bream.

Although this kind of fish is so valuable in China, this fish is not the only fish species in China. This fish is found throughout Asia and even the whole world. There are quite a few of them. There are such fish in the Yangtze River Basin of China, Malay, Borneo, Phuket, and even the Amazon River Basin. However, apart from China, I have never heard that these fish have markets abroad.

But now that he mentioned it, Jiang Hai was a little moved. He was afraid that raising pufferfish would be poisonous, but raising this fish was nothing to worry about.

Is it difficult to breed artificially? That's not in Jiang Hai's dictionary, as soon as the spiritual energy comes out. You have to bow your head no matter what.

"It looks like we are going to build a river in the manor." After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai whispered in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to build a fresh water channel, because if he wanted to eat eels, he would need to raise them himself.

But this is just an idea. After all, he can't build a river just to eat eels. It will cost a lot of money.

Although Jiang Hai is not short of money, there is no need for him to waste too much money. After all, no one eats eels in Boston.

Foreigners don’t eat eels. Jiang Hai remembered watching a program before, which was about food. Chinese and French chefs confront each other.

After choosing ingredients from each other, the French got the eel. But they don't know how to cook Western food, although it varies from place to place.

But if Western food is the first to be promoted, that is, French and Italian food, what market can there be in the United States for eel that even French cooks cannot cook? So it is not Jiang Hai's style to only go out but not enter, but now it seems that it would be good to build a river channel.

He can raise some freshwater, very valuable fish and sell them to Qi Li when the time comes.

Think about it, once the Yangtze saury is launched in a restaurant, the price may indeed increase many times.

Besides, there is no need to construct river channels, divert water, pump water or anything like that.

There are many small rivers in the Boston area. Just divert one to it. If you don't want to divert water, then dig a river yourself. The groundwater there is also quite rich. How much does it cost to dig a river? Jiang Hai didn't care about this.

After memorizing the scientific name of the long-jawed bream, the Yangtze saury, Jiang Hai began to focus on other things.

Not to mention, he actually saw a fish that had been cooked. This fish looked similar to American red fish, but it was a little different. He picked it up and took a bite. Jiang Hai couldn't help but nodded. , the fish tastes good too.

"This is a large yellow croaker, which is very expensive these days. The shaped one costs me nearly 1,000 yuan per catty, and the smaller one costs about 800 yuan." Looking at Jiang Hai, who seemed very satisfied, Qi Li here He also said quickly.

"This is not bad, you can raise it." Hearing Qi Li's words, Jiang Hai was shocked. To be honest, the taste of large yellow croaker is better than that of ordinary American red fish, but it is not as good as the American red fish raised by Jiang Hai. The fish is actually about the same, maybe even a little worse.

But American redfish, no matter how good it sells, costs sixty yuan per kilogram in China. In the United States, it costs about ten dollars per kilogram, which is already much more expensive than cod, but this is also a stone. A pound of large yellow croaker from the family Fish family can be sold for ten times the price of American red fish. Again, Jiang Hai can raise any fish, which cannot allow him to be tempted.

Calculated at 80 U.S. dollars per pound, if Jiang Hai raised one million pigeons, others could raise them to eight taels in a year. Jiang Hai would have no problem raising two pounds. One pound cost eighty dollars, and two pounds would be one hundred and sixty dollars. Ten US dollars, one million dollars, that's 160 million US dollars.

What if we raise two million tails? What about three million tails? In the past, Jiang Hai always believed that the core area where he mainly made money was on land.

Because beef is very valuable, but now his cattle have almost reached their limit, so he has to find a way to make some money on other things. Fish in the sea are very good things. If he can raise this thing , and can also raise bluefins and the like. Just supplying the island countries and China is enough for him to earn no less than on land in a year.

Now that I think about it, there was nothing I could do about the American redfish I originally chose, because the fish sold in the United States didn't have too many types of fish. They had to ensure the characteristics of their own species and couldn't just introduce foreign species.

What if one day these fish are worthless, just like Asian carp now, where will they cry?

Looking at the food in front of him, Jiang Hai's mind kept spinning. When he originally asked Minister Qin to introduce domestic species, Jiang Hai's first thought was goats, fragrant pigs and the like. Now it seems I am short-sighted.

You have to introduce these things. I was really naive back then.

"This fish does taste good, but because it has too many spines, I only ranked it tenth among today's ingredients. Come on, I'll take you to see the ninth one." Jiang Hai patted Jiang Hai. , Dufamen continued to take Jiang Hai to the barbecue area in the distance.

The barbecue chef here was brought over from Arabia by Dufresne, and he also brought these ingredients from Arabia.

"This is today's ninth delicacy, hump." After bringing Jiang Hai here, a waiter respectfully took three skewers of roasted meat from the oven, put them on the plate, and gave them to Jiang Hai and Qi Li and Dufamen handed it over.

"Hump?" Looking at the piece of meat in front of him, Jiang Hai hesitated for a moment. He did know that Arabian barbecue was one of the best.

Speaking of which, it is no joke that Arabian barbecue is the best in the world, but the hump...

He knew that this thing was edible. In the ancient Man-Han banquet, among the four eight delicacies, the first delicacy of the eight delicacies was the camel's hump.

But to be honest, when Jiang Hai imagined the appearance of a camel's back, it seemed that he really couldn't bear to eat.

"Try it, it's very good!" Seeing Jiang Hai hesitate, Dufamen took a bite first, and then said with a smile.

Seeing that he had eaten everything, Jiang Hai hesitated and took a bite. However, in addition to the resistance in his heart, when the hump entered his mouth, Jiang Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. This meat, indeed It was delicious.

The camel's hump is where the camel stores energy, nutrients and water. There are no bones here, just meat and fat.

However, due to the long-term storage of moisture, the lean meat here naturally has the effect of tenderizing meat powder, and the meat is very soft.

The fat on the outside, after being roasted, turns into grease, but it is not greasy. In ancient times, some nobles liked to eat this thing very much. Of course, very few people eat it now, after all, not many people keep it. Camel's gone.

Camelback is rich in protein, fat, calcium, scale, iron and vitamins a, b1, b2 and niacin.

The glue fat in its meat, also known as Fengzi oil, is sweet, warm and non-toxic in nature, and has the effects of moistening dryness, dispelling wind, activating blood circulation and eliminating germs.

It is a rare delicacy. Jiang Hai is still very satisfied with this meat.

However, he did not intend to raise camels, which would not be easy to raise, and the most important thing was that Jiang Hai was not short of meat.

"This is the ninth one, and the one I ranked second is Kobe beef, but your beef is no worse than this one, so I guess you are tired of it long ago." Looking at Jiang Hai with satisfaction Dufresne pointed to another row of meat skewers with a smile, and said with a smile that he had specially bought these meats from the island country, and the price was not cheap.

However, although eating this kind of beef was very common for Jiang Hai, he still made a bunch and ate it.

He had never eaten Kobe beef before. He also wanted to try it to see if it tasted good. When he ate it, it felt similar to his own beef, but there were some slight differences. After all, they were not the same breed of beef. , but the taste and so on are almost the same.

Of course, the taste is far different, because one is made by Jiang Hai and the other is made by the chef, but compared with Qi Li's restaurant, there is no difference in taste. Qi Li also ate a piece, He nodded superficially.

But in fact, in my heart, I have made up my mind to tie up Jiang Hai, not only for his people, but also for his cattle. (To be continued.)
