Shandong commercial newspaper reporter Zhang Zhuoran Donna
In the farmers' market at the beginning of the year, the public did not dare to relax the price of beef and mutton. However, at this point, no one thought of a duck as a "head bird". The reporter visited the market and found that the meat of duck breast increased from 3.5 yuan to 7 yuan in nearly a month. But who is consuming ducks to boost their prices? The boss of the hot pot shop has a dark color and doesn't answer it. During the interview, some people familiar with the situation said that this is because many duck meat has become the raw material of "mutton slices". Reporter Zhang Zhuoran Donna duck price doubling wholesalers have been surprised that
in the northern winter, most of the most common household table meat food in most of the public is mainly beef and mutton. In the transition period of new year's day and Spring Festival, the price of beef and mutton in the provincial capital should begin to rise "spring", but the reporter found that the price of beef has risen about 1 yuan per Jin in the last month, and the price of mutton has risen from 35 yuan to 40 yuan a month. Not only that, the reporter found a strange phenomenon during the interview with the fresh meat area of a wholesale market near the second ring road of the second ring road in the provincial capital. "The price of duck has doubled in one month." In the interview, the market, a sale of chicken and duck products based on the name of Li merchants told reporters, "now the duck breast meat rises out of the spectrum, the wholesale price is also 7 yuan a Jin." In the interview, the reporter learned from a meat - food manufacturer in Ji'nan, which was integrated with breeding, slaughtering and selling, that the price of the "first hand" duck breast meat was about 3.5 yuan a kilo a month ago. "It has nearly doubled, but few retail investors are buying it, which is strange." Li merchants told reporters that the duck meat in some northern cities, such as Ji'nan, has not entered the mainstream market in the past few years, and the merchants selling duck meat in the market are also a few. "I learned a few ducks on TV. You want to buy a duck or some part. If you don't know where to sell in advance, you can't buy it in a hurry to go to the free market." Min Liu, the provincial city, told reporters.
later, the reporter visited the three big farmers' markets in the provincial capital. Only one had duck meat sales, while the wholesale market of the journalists investigated fresh meat areas in the wholesale market, and the merchants selling duck meat were less than 1/10.
thirty yuan per jin of mutton is mostly duck meat
"our northerners eat duck meat very few, according to the demand is also small, but in the last month the price will rise a lot each time, the cheapest white duck also has to sell 6 yuan a Jin." In the face of the rising duck, Mr. Wang, who runs the chicken and duck business in a farmer's market near the industrial South Road, sighs that not only does the price rise, but sometimes it can't get into the goods. I really don't know where the duck is on the market.
Where is the duck Market in the market? "A lot of duck meat is sold as mutton. Many lamb dishes in the hot pot shop on the street are all made of duck meat." In the interview, Mr. Nie, who runs a restaurant business for years near Quancheng Road, told reporters that it was said to have been treated as "lamb slices". As for how to make mutton with duck meat, it is not very clear to himself.
duck meat does not seem to be related to mutton. How does it relate to the two products? In the industry's guidance, the reporter came to the provincial capital of the Second Ring Road near a wholesale market fresh meat area for an unannounced visit. There are about thirty stalls dealing with beef and mutton business in the market. Almost every family can process mutton slices. Although the majority of merchants are taboo for selling duck meat into mutton, there are also businessmen saying duck mutton is very good. The price of low price mutton in the market is mostly added with duck, pork, dog meat and so on. The animal fats are added with mutton semen. "In fact, you can mix it with duck fat, sheep tail oil and sheep's rib fat, and cut it into slices, so that you can pretend to be mutton slices." A female vendor who runs the wholesale business of beef and mutton in the market tells the reporters the truth. She also told reporters that her wholesale price of lamb chips ranged from ten yuan to more than thirty yuan, and the lower the price, the more impure the mutton slices were. Wholesale price of mutton slices below thirty yuan per kilogram is basically made of duck meat.
hot pot shop selling a plate of fake mutton can earn more than a dozen
"now the mutton is more than 30 yuan a Jin, the reason why use duck meat as mutton, or for the middle of a 'profit'." During the interview, the booth owner told reporters that the price of mutton slices in the market ranges from ten yuan to more than thirty yuan. Many people who come to buy mutton will recommend them to buy more than 30 yuan and a kilo of pure mutton, and many of them do not have to recommend them. They will choose their own meat slices with lower price.
reporters learned in the interview that the low price "lamb slices" in the market mainly supply provincial and City restaurants, hot pot restaurants, especially self-service hotpot shops. "Like the price of mutton slices sold at the price of twenty yuan per catty is the largest, many small business owners of hot pot shops come directly to name" cost-effective ". Also, Lee seller, who runs the beef and mutton business in the market, says that the price of its own cheap mutton slices is not enough to sell hundreds of pounds a day.
ordinary mutton prices are now up to 35 yuan per kilo, and most of the price of mutton is 35 yuan per Jin, and the price of duck breast meat is mostly 7 yuan per Jin, plus the auxiliary materials such as sheep tail oil, fat and lamb essence, and the price of "mutton" is about 15 yuan per Jin. She said that if the processing cost is lower, the cost price of 10 yuan per catty can be fixed.
a lot of chafing pot today's mutton chips are mostly sold for 12 yuan -20 yuan / disk, which is calculated by 3 and two per plate, that is, the highest price of mutton per Jin is up to sixty or seventy yuan. She calculated an account to the reporter, even if it was a low price of 20 yuan a catty "mutton", and a catty of "mutton" can earn forty or fifty yuan per Jin, and an average of a dozen pieces of mutton can be made to earn more than a dozen dollars. One day, a lot of profits can be gained by selling lamb slices.
at the same time, reporters found that some beef and mutton wholesalers voluntarily abandoned the lamb chip business. "In the past two years, the phenomenon of lamb chip adulteration is very common. Basically, there is nothing serious about it." In the interview, a wholesaler, who did not want to be named, told reporters that the appearance of adulterated mutton film not only greatly reduced the price of pure mutton, but also hurt the enthusiasm of selling pure mutton merchants. "I would rather not make money, or conscience."
no standard missing for adulterated mutton
whether it is a high-end restaurant, or the street "open" small Shabu Shabu shop, no matter the price is high or the main price tag to attract customers, "hang sheep head selling duck" in the industry has long been like a fake shark fin industry inside. There are some rumors that "mixed mutton is in line with national regulations." Reporters learned that some "Fuzheng" fake mutton posts are everywhere on the Internet. For example, "the demand for mutton is booming, and the supply is in short supply. A few years ago, the state had formulated the national standard for mixed mutton".
yesterday, reporters checked in the national standard network and failed to find any national standards for mixed mutton. In the Shandong provincial standards committee's website on local standards, there are only nine criteria for beef and mutton, and there is no requirement and explanation for mixed meat.
