It is understood that the ice city has become the main attack position of Dalian sea cucumber, and some sea cucumber brands are entering Harbin as representatives of Dalian's "characteristic economy".
Which Harbin people often eat sea cucumbers?
Ms. Zhao, who works in a public institution, is a member of the "Ginseng Family" in Bingcheng. For three years, she ate a soaked sea cucumber for breakfast every morning on an empty stomach. Three years ago, Ms. Zhao heard from a doctor friend that sea cucumber is a good thing with high protein and low fat, which is particularly beneficial to the body, so she tried to eat ginseng to nourish her body. I didn't expect this kind of food to be addictive. She felt that her physical condition was getting better and better. Others also praised her for "good skin and no aging". Although this special breakfast is a luxury in some people's eyes, in Zhao Nvshi's "bill" of life, the daily sales fee of 20 to 30 yuan of sea cucumbers should be regarded as health investment and "body savings".
It is reported that in Harbin, there are more and more "ginseng eaters" like Zhao Nvshi. Many white-collar workers said that the cost of sea cucumber entering the breakfast menu can at least be "recovered" from the saved cosmetics and health care drugs. In addition to "sea cucumber breakfast", the folk story of "sea cucumber dipped in soy sauce" also grandly launched the menu of seafood hotel. A hotel owner said that sea cucumber dishes sell well, and his shop once sold 25 Jin of sea cucumber a day.
The reporter's investigation found that because of the price problem, sea cucumber can't become the daily consumer goods of the people in Ice City at present. The "ginseng-eating clan" in Ice City is roughly composed of several groups: women over 30, most of whom are businessmen, think that sea cucumbers are beautiful, nutritious, meatless and affordable; Older people over 60 years old, with rich pensions, well-off families, or children with better economic conditions, are willing to spend money for their parents' medical care consumption; There are also a small number of consumers who eat sea cucumbers. They are patients. They eat ginseng according to the doctor's instructions to nourish themselves. In addition, very few parents think that their children are malnourished and will buy some sea cucumbers for their children every once in a while.
The price difference of different sea cucumbers is several thousand yuan.
Even many "ginseng eaters" find it difficult to explain why the price difference of sea cucumbers is so great, and it is also difficult to explain the difference between sea cucumbers with different prices. The reporter's investigation found that the difference between the highest price and the lowest price of sea cucumbers sold in Harbin is several thousand yuan.
In the sea cucumber franchise store in Harbin, almost all the plaques are hung with the words "produced in Dalian", and the place name "Changhai" in Dalian is also famous in the ice city because of the sea cucumber store. Into the sea cucumber shop, there are only three kinds of sea cucumbers on sale-salted sea cucumber, dry sea cucumber and quick-frozen ready-to-eat sea cucumber, but the origin and price are quite different. Take dry sea cucumber, the most common sea cucumber, for example. A kilogram of sea cucumber in Dalian ranges from 1800 yuan to 8000 yuan, which is equivalent to 20 to 30 yuan and 50 to 60 yuan. The price of sea cucumber in Russia and Japan is slightly lower, ranging from 5,000 yuan per kilogram 1200 yuan. Salted sea cucumbers are almost all produced in Dalian, but the prices are different, ranging from 500 yuan to 1 100 yuan per kilogram.
