I have been engaged in purchasing in the canteen for a long time, and it is my daily job to go to the farmer's market to purchase ingredients, so I am particularly familiar with the vendors in the farmer's market.
Mutton sold in the market now can be divided into these categories according to the different sources of goods:
1. stalls selling fresh mutton: there are two kinds of stalls selling fresh mutton: one is a mutton stall run by Han people; The second is the Muslim beef and mutton stall. The mutton sold in these two stalls is fresh, so the price is relatively high, and the price will vary greatly according to the different parts. This kind of stall is easy to distinguish, that is, to see if there are sheep offal and goods sold. There is no sheep blood in the halal booth, but the clothes of the stall owner can be seen at a glance.
2. stalls selling frozen mutton: this kind of mutton is the main producing area of mutton purchased from China, and the whole lamb is transported in cold chain. Because the freshness is worse than the live sheep killed now, the price is cheaper than the fresh mutton killed now. These mutton are also sold locally in the stalls.
3. stalls selling processed imported mutton: there are also stalls selling frozen products in the market. This kind of mutton is basically processed mutton products, such as mutton rolls and kebabs. Because it can fetch water and add something when processing, the price of this kind of mutton is relatively low.
1. The freshness of mutton is different: fresh live sheep are basically transported live sheep or locally produced sheep, so the price of such mutton is higher than that of frozen white sheep because of its high freshness and high logistics and labor costs.
2. Different mutton producing areas and varieties: There are several famous mutton producing areas in China, such as Tan sheep in Ningxia and Qinghai, small-tailed Han sheep in Inner Mongolia, Qingshan sheep in Shandong and black goat in Hainan. These high-quality producing areas are more delicious, so the price is naturally high.
3. Different feeding methods: There will be great differences in taste and taste between artificially raised sheep and grazing sheep, so the price of grazing sheep is higher than that of artificially raised sheep.
4. The place of sale is different: the shopping center on the high floor is more expensive because of stalls and labor, so the price of mutton is naturally higher; The booth fee in the farmer's market is low, and the price of mutton will be much cheaper accordingly.
1. Look: fresh mutton is ruddy, and frozen old mutton is pale. It is best to choose mutton with ruddy color when buying.
2. Look at the variety of mutton: the meat quality and taste of goats and sheep are very different, so the applicable cooking methods are also different. Goat and mutton are deep red in color, thick in muscle and less in intermuscular fat, which is more suitable for making soup and stewing brine. Mutton has fine meat quality, high fat content and finer muscle fiber, which is more suitable for frying, instant-boiled mutton and barbecue.
3. Touch: Fresh mutton feels like touching hands, and the meat feels elastic; Stale mutton has no elasticity, and meat has no feeling when touching hands.
"I traveled all over Nanjing and Beijing, but I didn't buy the essence I sold." The price of mutton is closely related to the variety, origin and freshness. There is a great difference in quality and freshness between more than 20 kilograms of mutton and more than 60 kilograms of mutton, otherwise the stall owner will not dare to ask for exorbitant prices.
Under normal circumstances, this is a trade-off. For example, the dog meat and mutton we sell here has the nature of * * *, that is, the price is a few percent. More than 60 pieces are 10 full scale, more than 20 pieces are 40% off scale, and there are more than 30 pieces and 40 pieces in the middle. If the price is the same, the quality and source of meat will be different.

I hope this answer will solve your doubts.
