Chapter 191 Creating a Brand (Subscription Request)

After the two chatted for a while.

An Yuliang said: "Director Li, let's go see your oysters."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Li Duoyu nodded.

The three of them came to the dock, boarded Li Duoyu's diesel sampan, and went to the oyster field.

The fishmonger Lao Mi, who had no say during the whole process, saw Manager An going to Li Duoyu's oyster field and couldn't help smoking a cigarette.

Today at the dock, after meeting Manager An, I wanted to establish some relationship with him, but I didn't expect Wang Dapao, who received the news, to intervene and listen to him bragging for more than an hour.

Manager An was clearly here to find Li Duoyu this time. In fact, he has been eyeing Li Duoyu's oysters for a long time.

I wanted to share a share when the harvest came, but I didn't expect Manager An to come directly. It seems that he won't have a share.

Lao Mi couldn't help but sigh again, missing the time when the island was just opened. No one competed with him at that time, and he bought half of the seafood on the island by himself.

It's getting harder and harder to make money now.

After arriving at the oyster field.

An Yuliang looked at the thirty acres of oyster field in front of him and said in surprise: "Your method of raising oysters is different from others. You actually raise them by hanging. Where did you learn this from?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I learned it from farmers in the neighboring province. They have been using it for several years."

An Yuliang pulled up a bunch of oysters. The oysters were quite clean, without too much mud and sand on the surface, and very few attachments.

It seems that they should be taken care of frequently, otherwise the oysters would not be so clean, and this batch of oysters is really big.

Li Duoyu asked: "Manager An, are these oysters the same as the batch you received before?"

"Yes, the same." An Yuliang nodded.

In fact, even just now, he didn't really believe that the batch of oysters he bought was the one that Li Duoyu was stolen from.

But after seeing these oysters.

He was 100% sure that the batch of oysters he received a few days ago were dirty goods.

The ropes hanging the oysters were the same length, and there were also cement blocks. The most important point was that the oysters were all clean.

In the years he has been engaged in aquatic products, the number of oysters he has purchased is tens of thousands, if not thousands. Most of the oyster shells are attached with a lot of barnacles and mud. This is the first time I have seen such a clean one.

An Yuliang asked: "Director Li, how long does it take to grow oysters to this size?"

Li Duoyu replied: "Almost three years. This batch of oysters was previously raised by Section Chief Zhang Qingyun of the Fisheries Research Institute. It has only been raised for about half a year when it came to me. "

An Yuliang frowned. In his impression, most oysters are about one year old, and farmers rarely raise oysters to the third year.

An Yuliang thought about it.

If it takes three years to grow to this size, the purchase price will definitely not be low.

Before, their company purchased two main types of oysters. One is dried oysters, but they are generally very small and black.

Locals generally call it dried oysters.

In winter, the company will also collect some fresh oysters that have been pried to make oyster sauce.

The purchase price of oysters is very cheap, and a pound of shelled oysters will not exceed two cents, and a pound of wet oysters that have been pried is about 20 cents.

The dried oysters that have been dried will be more expensive, and can be sold for about one yuan.

The oysters purchased by their company are mainly used to make dried oysters, because the shelf life of dried oysters is nearly one year, and they can be sold to far inland areas, and the profit will be relatively high.

Manager An couldn't help asking: "How much do you plan to sell oysters of this quality?"

Li Duoyu thought about it and said seriously: "If you sell it in the shell, it will be about 10 cents per pound."

After hearing this price.

Manager An smiled bitterly. It is five times the price of ordinary oysters they purchase, plus the transportation cost to sell them in the market.

At least 20 cents, which is almost the same price as sea fish. He originally expected the price to be around 5 cents, but he didn't expect it to be twice as high.

But think about it, it makes sense.

This oyster has been raised for three years, and the time and risk are there. It is really difficult to buy it at five cents.

So, the batch of dirty goods he bought with five cents before made him a profit.

Seeing that Manager An looked embarrassed.

Li Duoyu directly cut two strings of oysters with a knife and said, "Manager An, the quality of my oysters is guaranteed, why don't we give it a try."

An Yuliang nodded.

In fact, he had eaten the previous batch of oysters, and the taste was indeed much better than ordinary oysters.

After leaving the oyster field.

Li Duoyu brought Manager An and the others to the only restaurant on Dandan Island.

When Lao Yang saw Li Duoyu, he greeted him warmly: "Village director, how come you have time to come here today?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Today, I will entertain you, Lao Yang, what other seafood do you have here?"

"There are squid, eel, clams, and yellow croaker." Lao Yang opened the freezer and said: "Why don't you come and have a look."

The only freezer in the village is in this restaurant. It was bought when the goods were on sale. The price was very high, about the same as a color TV.

Li Duoyu took a look and found that there were not many seafood in this freezer. Most of them were wild game from the mountains.

Porcupine, native pork, python, white pheasant, musk deer and the like, all kinds of smells mixed together, smelling a bit choking.

"Don't want frozen ones, do you have any live seafood?"

Old Yang came to the seawater pool behind the restaurant and said, "There are live ones, but not many, only some sea eels, clams, red snails, and some sea bream."

Li Duoyu said directly:

"Fry one plate of clams, one plate of red snails, and some fried squid rings."

Li Duoyu handed the two strings of oysters to the boss: "Steam this string until it is 70% cooked, and grill the other string. When it is almost cooked, sprinkle some sugared garlic sauce on it."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he asked, "Is it okay?"

Old Yang nodded: "Yes, no problem."

"That's good. By the way, I have another dish later, and I may need to borrow your kitchen."

"Okay."

Seeing that Li Duoyu also ordered other dishes, Manager An hurriedly said, "Director Li, we have already eaten at noon. Don't order too much, or you can't finish it."

Li Duoyu smiled.

"It's okay, seafood doesn't take up space in your stomach. Wait for me for a moment, I'll bring you some dried oysters I've dried."

After saying that, Li Duoyu returned home.

He checked the dried oysters on the dustpan. They had been dried for two days, and the color had turned yellow and the skin had hardened.

At this time, the oysters were half-cooked, but if you poke them with your fingers, you can still feel that the belly of the dried oysters is still soft.

In the previous life, they generally called this kind of dried oysters golden dried oysters, but not all oysters can be called golden oysters.

The first condition is that they are fat and big enough.

Then the season must be right, preferably oysters after autumn and winter.

Finally, they must not have been drained of oil.

After Li Duoyu took more than ten pieces, he returned to the restaurant.

Because the restaurant owner Lao Yang had never made the dish of golden dried oysters before, Li Duoyu simply cooked it himself.

The method of making golden dried oysters is very simple, just fry them directly.

You can also add some green garlic to fry them together.

Maybe because of his occupational disease, Li Duoyu still likes to cook by himself.

About half an hour later.

A table of seafood was ready, and three of the dishes were all oysters.

Steamed oysters, charcoal grilled garlic oysters, and pan-fried dried oysters.

In this era, oysters are not a particularly popular seafood. Except for people living by the sea, very few people eat them.

Most people use dried oysters to cook porridge and soup. I didn't expect Li Duoyu to come up with so many tricks.

An Yuliang had never eaten like this before. He tried a steamed oyster first, and it tasted very good, probably because it was fresh.

The taste was much better than the dirty stuff he bought before, very sweet, and had the taste of the sea.

After eating, An Yuliang said to his subordinate Xiao Lin: "Try some, Director Li's oysters are really great."

Xiao Lin shook his head: "I'm a little afraid of the taste of oysters."

Li Duoyu said: "If you are afraid of that taste, you can try this garlic oyster, the taste is not so strong."

Xiao Lin wanted to refuse.

Unexpectedly, An Yuliang looked at him, and Xiaolin took a garlic oyster on the spot and took a small bite first.

After eating.

Xiaolin did not feel disgusted, but thought it was quite delicious, and swallowed the whole oyster directly.

"Director Li, if I do this, I don't seem to be afraid of the taste."

Li Duoyu nodded: "This garlic method is more suitable for the public, and many people who dare not eat oysters can accept it."

"By the way, there is also this fried oyster, you can also try it."

"Okay, I'll try it."

Xiaolin picked up a golden fried oyster and bit it. He found that the taste was very sweet, and it felt like eating seafood braised pork.

"Manager, this thing is delicious."

Manager An looked at him with disdain: "Our Director Li personally cooked and invited us to eat. How can it not be delicious?"

After An Yuliang finished speaking, he also picked up a fried oyster and ate it. The original squinting eyes instantly enlarged.

After eating one, he picked up another and started eating, then said: "Your dried oysters are really delicious."

Li Duoyu smiled: "If they are delicious, eat more."

An Yuliang didn't plan to eat too much. His wife has been asking him to lose weight recently, and the doctor also said that he was too fat and should try to drink less and eat less.

But when he ate this garlic oyster, he forgot what his wife and doctor said on the spot, and he even felt that he could eat two bowls of rice.

After eating and drinking.

An Yuliang touched his stomach and said: "Director Li, how about this, then according to your price, our company will contract all your oysters."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I guess not, Manager An, if you really want it, I can give you half."

Hearing this, An Yuliang and his followers were stunned.

An Yuliang looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Li Duoyu replied: "It's like this, some of the oysters have been contracted out."

An Yuliang opened his mouth and said: "Why is there always someone who is faster than me? It won't be Chen Jiao, the bastard again."

Li Duoyu smiled and shook his head.

He didn't give An Yuliang a clear answer. In fact, no one has booked this batch of oysters yet, but Li Duoyu didn't want to sell all the oysters to the same buyer.

"By the way, Manager An, we can cooperate, but before the cooperation, I have a small request."

After hearing this, Xiao Lin frowned on the spot. As a state-owned company, they have always been the ones who make requests to others and others beg them to purchase.

I didn't expect that today I would be asked for something. If it weren't for Manager An being so polite to Director Li, he would have wanted to scold him on the spot.

"What request?" An Yuliang asked.

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Actually, it's just a small matter. When you sell my oysters, you have to mark our brand."

Xiaolin widened his eyes and felt that Director Li's request was a bit outrageous. The seafood purchased by their company was naturally under the brand of their Rongcheng Commodity Distribution Company.

And Director Li sold the oysters and wanted to keep his own brand. How could such a good thing happen?

An Yuliang frowned slightly: "I don't think I can make the decision on matters related to the brand, but I can go back and fight for it for you."

"By the way, Director Li, can I ask what your brand is called?"

Li Duoyu replied: "Minlong Food."

An Yuliang savored it carefully and felt that these two words seemed very familiar. Suddenly he remembered an ancient poem.

Minnong, Minlong.

"It's indeed a good name."
