Alpine Orchard - Chapter 138

[Chapter 138]

The crayfish on Ye Mo’s side, at the end of August and the beginning of September, the shrimp seedlings came out.

It has been raised for less than three months.

Overall, the size can only be considered good.

The area of the reservoir is too large. Around the feeding point, the lobsters were significantly larger. There are many more than seven coins.

But in places farther from the feeding point, the lobsters are very small, and some are only a little more than four dollars.

With a reservoir of more than 70 mu, there are more than 20 mu of areas suitable for crayfish to live in.

There are 30 feeding points for feed, and there are many areas where there is no parking lot because the hillside is relatively steep, and the car cannot drive there, so no feed is fed in those places.

There are much more crayfish in the reservoir than Ye Mo expected.

In the afternoon, two more aquatic product dealers came to see the crayfish.

One of them offered 35 yuan, and only 7 yuan or more of crayfish. But the volume is not much.

The next day, another aquatic product dealer came to see the crayfish…

Ye Mo also knew the current price of freshwater shrimp, and the current purchase price of Daqing was 27 or 8 yuan. The better Daqing mainly depends on whether the meat is plump, and it can cost more than 30 yuan.

The cheapest Daqing is in his early twenties.

For middle-aged and young people, it is generally around 20 yuan. It’s very good, it can reach twenty-four five.

…

The boss Zhang who came on the first day came again yesterday, carefully looked at these crayfish from Ye Mo again, and gave another quotation.

Daqing, more than 6 yuan, 33.5 yuan per catty.

Zhongqing, 4 to 6 yuan, 26.5 yuan per catty.

It is no longer Daqing’s 300 catties per day as mentioned before, but now it’s how much you have and how much you want.

There are several standards for the classification of crayfish.

2-4 money, 4-6 money, 6-8 money, more than 8 money, four levels. These are the divisions of small farmers and are usually used to set prices for sale. Most of the screening of crayfish is based on this specification…

and large farmers have other criteria.

Even different regions have different standards.

The more formal classification standard is also a widely recognized standard.

Red Shrimp:

Ku Shrimp: The weight is about 10-19g. This is a crayfish that is still being farmed and usually not sold.

The fourth-grade shrimp weighs about 20-29g, which is 4-6 yuan.

The third-grade shrimp weighs about 30-39g and costs 6-8 yuan.

The second-grade shrimp weighs about 40-49g and costs 8-9 cents.

First-class shrimp, weighing more than 50g. That is more than 10 yuan… Green

shrimp:

library shrimp, weighing about 10-14g.

Small green shrimp, weighing about 15-19g.

Medium freshwater shrimp, weighing about 20-29g.

Large freshwater prawns, weighing more than 30g. More than 6 yuan…

Ye Mo’s here is freshwater prawns, judging from the specifications, most of the freshwater prawns are big green prawns.

The green shell of crayfish may turn into a red shell at any stage, and after the red shell, it will no longer turn into a green shell.

Therefore, its price is generally much more expensive than the red shell.

Breeding green-shelled crayfish is very troublesome. Usually…except for large-scale breeding bases, the average crayfish farmers produce red-shelled crayfish.

Ye Mo’s batch of crayfish with green shells was of good quality, and it was not surprising that the highest price was 35 yuan per catty.

20th.

Lin Xiaomian went to the production team early in the morning…

Ye Mo went out to feed the crayfish, turned on the drip irrigation in the durian garden, and went home to clean up the house.

Nearly nine o’clock, a Geely Xingyue L, a Haval H6, and a pickup truck, three vehicles, arrived at Gaoshanping.

Ye Mo had just cleaned the room, when he heard the sound of a car outside, he went out to have a look: “Uncle, ma’am.”

Lin Xiaomian’s parents responded.

Lin Xiaolin and his father were in the Haval car behind: “Brother-in-law.” Lin Xiaomian shouted.

Ye Mo smiled, looked at Lin Xiaolin’s father, and called, “Second Uncle.”

Xiaolin’s father smiled and nodded.

The last one, the driver of the pick-up truck, is the seafood boss that Xiao Mian’s father found for Ye Mo: “Let me introduce you, this is Boss Liu.”

“Hello.” Ye Mo took out a cigarette and lit it for everyone one.

Boss Liu said thank you, and turned to look at the reservoir next to the house: “Where are the crayfish kept?”

The water in the reservoir was still a little cloudy and yellowish.

There are mountains around, and the soil here is yellow mud…and the water inside is the heavy rain in summer, which comes in from the hillsides and ravines.

“The crayfish are still inside.” Ye Mo pointed and said, “Several kilometers.”

“There are a lot of lobster nets and sieves, and our car can’t fit them, so Xiao Lin and Boss Liu helped to install them.” Xiao Mian’s father said: ” Now go and have a look.”

“Okay.”

“Where are these lobster nets?”

“There is a warehouse over the big reservoir, and a warehouse over the house.” Ye Mo said, got into Xiaomian’s father’s car and headed for the big reservoir.

Xiao Mian’s father is learning to drive during this time and has just obtained his driver’s license.

When he came to the reservoir, he unloaded the things and put them in the warehouse. Ye Mo took a copy net, and then went to the reservoir.

“How is this reservoir?” Lin Shan accompanied Boss Liu. They had known each other for more than ten years. The crayfish he raised in the past were basically collected by Boss Liu.

Boss Liu nodded: “The color of the water is very beautiful.”

This reservoir is surrounded by lush weeds, and there are aquatic plants in the reservoir.

Ye Mo is now feeding 4 bags of feed to the reservoir every day, but these crayfish seem to be hungry and are still eating aquatic plants (the feeding area is a problem, the feed cannot cover the entire edge of the reservoir).

There are fewer aquatic plants now than when the brooding crayfish were first dropped.

Crayfish can be seen everywhere by the water’s edge and above the aquatic plants.

Ye Mo fished out a few of them, Boss Liu’s eyes lit up, and said, “These crayfish are pretty good, what’s the average weight?”

“Average weight, 6 yuan.” All can be counted as first-class shrimp. But on the whole, the big ones are big, the small ones are small, and the polarization is serious.

The average weight is six dollars, mainly the weight in the feeding area. In places far from the feeding area, the average weight is only more than five yuan.

Ye Mo fished out more crayfish, and Boss Liu knew the problem.

The reservoir is too large and the feed point is too far away.

“I want all the crayfish here.” Boss Liu said, “How much   is it per catty

?

”   ”So expensive?” Boss Liu frowned.   Now the price of big freshwater prawns is about 27 yuan. Many of them are still medium-sized freshwater shrimp…   30 yuan per catty, which is too expensive.   ”All, regardless of size, 24.5 yuan. But you can’t pick the big ones away.”

Ye Mo waved his hand: “Someone has quoted the price before. Crayfish above 6 yuan is 33.5 yuan per catty. There are still some crayfish above 6 yuan in the reservoir. It is all-inclusive, at least 30 yuan.”

“Then what do you mean, it costs 27 yuan per catty for less than 6 yuan?” Boss Liu smiled. This price is too expensive.

The current big green prawns are only at this price.

Boss Liu felt that the price he offered was already considered high. But the quality here is good… The

quality is good for a while, but Boss Liu’s customer base, even if they send the top-level freshwater prawns, it is difficult for them to give a high price.

When doing business, you can’t look at who brings the people. It must be who bids the most and sells to whom.

Boss Liu’s bid is not high on Ye Mo’s side.

Yesterday, a boss who specializes in medium-sized fresh shrimps offered Ye Mo a price of 24 yuan.

“Under 6 yuan, 26.5 yuan.” Ye Mo said.

“Too expensive.” Boss Liu shook his head. His markets are mainly in several cities on the other side of Chuncheng, which is 60 to 70 kilometers away from Chuncheng, which is a long way. If the distance is closer, I can add a little more.

But the transportation of 60 to 70 kilometers…

On the whole, the quotations given by Boss Liu to the aquatic product manufacturers in the past few days are relatively low.

The quotation given by Boss Zhang is not the highest, but it is close to the highest, if the quantity is large. Green-shell shrimps are easy to die after being fished out of the water. When dividing the shrimps, try to be as simple as possible without too much fuss.

If the specification is divided too finely, it is not good. Just two cents would be enough, more than six cents and less than six cents…

“Shrimps for six cents, can you really sell them for 33.5 yuan per catty?” Xiao Mian’s father pulled Ye Mo to the side and asked in a low voice.

Ye Mo nodded.

6 Qian Daqing, someone else gave 34.5 yuan, but the quantity is not much.

7 Qian Daqing, the highest offer was 35 yuan, which was also the highest offer. There are also a lot of crayfish above 7 yuan in this reservoir, but it is very troublesome to screen them separately. Dozens of catties a day, but also require door-to-door delivery… It’s not worth it.

If it’s a whole package, Ye Mo’s ideal price is 28 yuan per catty, which is almost the same. The quotation is 30 yuan per catty, leaving room for bargaining.

This price is calculated to be a little cheaper than the quotation given by Boss Zhang.
