The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

In his previous life, Zhang Nan had just returned to his hometown after being a tutor in his previous life. Around 1995, a very economical imported frozen fish suddenly appeared in various vegetable markets in Yan County.

At that time, Zhang Nan's economic conditions were not very good, and he was still in the initial stage of moving into the village and relocating old goods and antiques. Even if he brought back a lot of capital, he still had to save money to buy a house. Bachelors could not afford too expensive things. .

He also likes to eat sea fish. The frozen fish called North Korean fish has a lot of meat and is cheap, and it doesn't take the lead. Even the internal organs are removed. It is very affordable, so he bought it at that time.

Braised in brown sauce tastes good. In those few years, it was a seafood fish often bought by low- and middle-income people with poor economic conditions. People in Yan County also called it "decapitated fish" in its image!

However, at that time, the people of Yanxian County, including Zhang Nan, had always had a question that could not be answered for many years: fishmongers called this kind of headless fish "Korean fish", but North Korea was quite far from the Huaxia Jiangnan area. Yes, this fish is still selling at a very good price. Is it profitable?

If it is not affordable, no one wants it. Yan County is only a hundred kilometers away from the most famous fishing ports in the East China Sea, and there is no shortage of marine fish.

There are still many people wondering where these frozen fish without fish heads come from. Anyway, it is unlikely that they are Korean products. They are also wondering why they have no fish heads. Is there anything to say here?

All kinds of questions, the mysterious "decapitating fish", even the fishmongers can't tell why.

It has been sold for several years, and Zhang Nan has eaten it for several years. However, this "decapitated fish" is similar to the situation when it suddenly appeared in the vegetable market in the mid-1990s. It suddenly disappeared from the market before the arrival of the new century. NS.

Coming and going in a hurry, but still left a very deep impression in Zhang Nan's mind.

It's cheap, affordable, rich in meat, and the taste is okay. I really ate a lot.

After more than ten years, a friend invited him to dinner at a very high-end Korean restaurant in Shanghai. The main dish was grilled meat. Another dish was said to be the seafood Mentayu soup very popular among the Korean people.

Tofu stewed fish soup, said to be a good thing in Korean restaurants, seems to be quite tall.

As a result, one end came up, and Zhang Nan laughed after seeing it clearly...

The friend was puzzled and asked why.

This friend has always been in good family conditions. He has known Zhang Nan for only two or three years, but the relationship is good. Then he heard a dumbfounding answer from Zhang Nan: "There would be no money 20 years ago, I think After eating sea fish, go to the vegetable market to buy this and take it home and braise it.

Lots of meat, so cheap! "

large and luxurious?

What does not exist is a bargain!

That person is not embarrassed either. It is a good and honest relationship between these friends who tell the truth.

However, there are sequelae of a meal. It is said that the friend who originally liked Korean food has never invited anyone to eat in a Korean restaurant.

Treating guests to a good meal is actually a real bargain in the eyes of others. This is called thankless-no way. The families with better family conditions in the south of the Yangtze River in those days really looked down on the kind of "decapitated fish".

After that meal, Zhang Nan also figured out something that had been questioned for many years. It turned out that the "decapitated fish and North Korean fish" that were bought for the tooth sacrifice because of the cheap price were really imported from North Korea, but they were only North Koreans. Call it Mentayu.

After many years of questioning, I was still a little curious about what kind of fish it was. The name of "Mentai fish" is just a term for farming land.

Later, I checked it on the Internet and found that it is a kind of cod. No wonder that this fish has not been available in the market in Yanxian for a long time, because its production area is in the cold water area north of the Japanese-Honsai and Japanese-Honsai.

Zhang Nan doesn’t have to go to work from 9 to 5. It’s a good researcher. Let’s get interested together. When it’s fine, there will be a large number of "decapitated fish" that suddenly appeared in the vegetable market in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sudden disappearance after a few years. Asked the bottom line.

Combining what happened in those years, he came to his own judgment: North Korea was going crazy at that time, and everything was exported in exchange for foreign exchange and food.

As soon as the Soviet Union disintegrated, North Korea cut off its largest external support, and this bitter day began. North Korea has little arable land, is already short of food and cannot be self-sufficient, and without the fertilizers and other materials provided by the Soviet Union, it is no different from worsening the situation.

And misfortunes never come singly. Last year, North Korea’s large-scale drought caused a one-third reduction in food production!

When the Soviet Union collapsed, life in North Korea suddenly became tight, but now it's okay, so hungry. This year's North Korea has also started the spring, and the rainfall is still severely low. It is another year of poor harvests.

In Zhang Nan's memory, the "decapitated fish" was cheap, but at first glance it was more expensive than food. In those years, North Korea was in a terrible state of food shortage and hunger.

But at that time, Zhang Nan still had a question that couldn't be answered: Calculating the freight and the difference in wholesale and retail prices, when the first export, this "decapitated fish" would be more expensive than rice and flour?

It seems unlikely.

"People are starving to death in this country. It would not be better for the people to eat the gross'decapitated fish' for food.

If the price is similar, this fish meat will provide more nutrition and calories than the same weight of rice, right? "

The question of what kind of fish is "decapitated fish" has been perfectly answered, but there has been no satisfactory answer to the question of why it was exported to China in large quantities in the first place.

Mr. Vice President suggested buying a bullet production line made by North Koreans. This is not a big problem. The international sanctions on the largest power in the universe have not yet taken care of this.

Andre said that among the products produced by North Korea, gadgets with warheads are quite reliable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This shows that their bullet production line is no problem and can reach the average level of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

Then buy it. Anyway, the same after-sales service is available for this type of production line all over the world, and there are many technicians in this area who have a good time.

And for that country, Zhang Nan couldn't say what likes or dislikes, just with a little curiosity.

A closed country is kind of interesting.

At this time, he knew that the days when the North Koreans tighten their belts will grow very long, and there will be at least 10 years of suffering waiting for them.

Three years temporarily-the difficulties make people shudder. In 10 years, it is no wonder that many people have speculated that North Korea starved to death by millions during that time-last year's large-scale harvest failure was only the beginning, this year's drought and summer floods, Drought and floods next year...

Had it not been for the aid of other countries, North Korea would not have starved to death for millions of people in the next ten years. Zhang Nan thought it should become a statistic of how many people could survive.

Decapitated fish, interesting fish, I really want to see why North Korea will export such cheap goods on a large scale.
