The most common and important thing for people to do every day is to eat, and the quality of three meals a day is related to people's mood and physical health. With the improvement of the economic level, people are more healthy and reasonable in the combination of food, and each meal needs to have the intake of carbs, protein and dietary fiber, of which protein is mainly derived from meat, poultry and egg products. The most common meat on the Chinese table is pork, chicken, duck, fish, etc., and the free-range native duck of the farmhouse can generally be sold for 70 yuan, but what makes some consumers wonder is that a roast duck actually sells for 18 yuan, is there anything "catty" in it?
Duck has a long history on the Chinese table, and its practices are diverse, whether it is roast duck, braised duck or cold mix white searing, which is loved by the Chinese people, especially during the rise in pork prices, duck meat and other meats have become a substitute for pork on many people's tables. And now the price of pork has dropped to the normal range, before the highest price of pork unit price once reached 50 yuan a catty, some places are even higher, and now the price of pork has been maintained at more than ten pieces of a catty, many people have returned to the normal state of buying meat to eat. Of course, people still buy duck meat and so on.
The price of duck meat in the market is now more expensive than pork, according to relevant data, the price of live duck in the market in most regions has reached 28 yuan per catty, and the same price can even buy two catties of pork in some places. Normally, if a live duck weighs 5 pounds, it costs 70 yuan to buy one, and if the duck is heavier, it will cost more money. So buying a duck is still a big deal.
And people will find that there are many stalls selling roast ducks on the street, and the ducks are hung in a row, the color is bright red, very attractive, and it is also a food that many people like very much. This roast duck is very cheap, and some places only need to spend 18 yuan to buy a whole one, which is sought after by many people. Of course, some people have questioned this, so cheap, even a live duck can not buy, is there something hidden in it?
According to their information, the roast duck of 18 yuan may have two situations, one is that the duck used to make the roast duck is a "medicated" duck, and a duck is only about a month. The second is to make roast duck using "frozen duck", this kind of frozen duck cost is extremely low, generally not more than 10 yuan, even after processing, there are still a lot of profits can be earned. From these two points, it seems very reasonable, both to explain the origin of the duck, but also to know why the finished roast duck is so cheap. So are these roast ducks safe to eat?
It is understood that the duck used in this roast duck is not a general rural free-range duck, but some professional breeding of this kind of rapid duck factories or professional farmers to raise, the general duck from small to raised out of the pen time is about 30 days, but eating this duck is not harmful to people. According to relevant information, the most used in making roast duck is a kind of "Cherry Valley Duck", and the cost of raising a duck is about 20 yuan. Then some people have asked again, the cost of this duck is 20 yuan, so why does the roast duck sell for 18 yuan?
It turns out that people now dissect different parts of the duck and sell them separately. Generally, people buy roast ducks with only the main part of the duck, duck feathers are used to make down jackets, and duck wings, duck paws and offal are sold separately. And people who have bought roast duck know that the head and neck of roast duck are also sold separately, so a duck is divided into different parts for sale, and the roast duck is so cheap because other parts are almost enough to earn back the cost.
So are these ducks growing so fast through "spraying"? In fact, if people who have raised ducks will know that ducks grow very fast, ordinary hemp ducks raised in rural areas can also start eating in about two months. And this "Cherry Valley duck" is a faster growing breed cultivated by scientists, it can better adapt to the development of the market economy, so it is not sprayed to make it grow so fast, so eating this duck is not a health hazard to people.
That there is no problem with the raw materials, does it mean that there is no problem with the roast duck for 18 yuan? In this regard, some relevant experts said that the roast duck of 18 yuan made of raw materials from regular sources is no problem, but some black-hearted merchants will use some ducks of unknown origin, such as sick ducks and dead ducks in farms, coupled with the problems of the processing environment, it is likely to bring some health threats. Therefore, if you want to buy roast duck, it is best to buy it in a shop with a business license, so that even if there is a problem with eating, it can be easily traced back.
As the economy grows, society gets faster and faster, and the way food is handled is accelerating, and scientists are constantly exploring products that can better adapt to the economy, such as this duck. Increasing the yield of crops and increasing the growth rate of meat and poultry are all guarantees that people's lives are getting better and better today. Of course, after the speed of development accelerates, there will be many hidden problems, and this needs to be maintained by everyone. Do not do black-hearted business, nor do you do blindly greedy consumers, a good life needs to be created together.
