On May 14, the reporter was led by a friend to this snail house named "Taiyi Snail Manor". It extends several hundred meters eastward from the entrance of Nanya Style Garden on Dianchi Road, which is the only way for downtown to enter the restaurant. It crosses a small street that is squeezed into a narrow road by a rented house of more than 500 meters. Along the way, the reporter's car was constantly stopped by people coming and going. There are no obvious signs and advertisements on the road. Indeed, it is not easy to find you at once. The village where the restaurant is located is called Yangjiadi Village. It's hard to imagine that the world-famous French cuisine lives here. Naturally, why the snail farm lives in the village has become the most concerned topic for journalists.
Entering the manor, you can see that the kitchen and dining room of the restaurant are transformed from the original office space at will, and only the introduction of snails on the wall can see the extraordinary dishes. It is said that the average person in France eats 12 snails every year. The figure of 1999 is 40,000 tons, and the price of each snail is 45 euros. At present, in Kunming, only some high-star hotels or individual western restaurants supply snails, which are expensive. In Taiyi Snail Manor, including authentic French snails, nearly 300 snail dishes can be served, combining Chinese and foreign styles. However, the current appearance of the manor does not seem to match the reputation of China cuisine. Boss Luo, the owner of snail breeding technology, also admitted frankly: "It only took 65,438+10,000 to open this snail house."
Can Kunming people accept snail dinner?
For Rob, the current snail farming technology is mature, and farming and supply are no longer a problem. After thousands of experiments, with the help of a professor in Peking University, Rob successfully developed the cleaning technology, technology and products for killing, detoxifying and deboning the most troublesome snails, and applied for a patent. Some restaurants, hotels and supermarkets have put forward supply requirements. Why didn't "Taiyi Snail" drive the restaurant into the city and show its face in a busy place?
Rob regards living in Yangjiadi village as laying the foundation and opening up the market. Rob doubts whether Kunming people can accept snail dinner. The formation of a market is restricted by cultural background, economic foundation, consumption concept, humanistic quality and other factors. In Kunming, snail consumption is far from these factors.
Rob thinks, "Snails are hard to grow in Kunming. To be big, we must base ourselves on Kunming, constantly improve the related technologies such as breeding, and then continuously expand the breeding capacity. At present, our advantages and what we can do are technical support and supply guarantee. " As for becoming bigger and stronger, Rob's vision seems to be higher and farther. She said: "If you don't do it, you will do chain operation. The first chain store will open in Beijing, and then gradually radiate. We opened a breeding base in Shanghai, which is bigger than Kunming. Originally, the chain stores in Beijing are also preparing to open this year. It depends now. " She believes that, in the final analysis, "snail itself is a brand, snail dinner is a banner, snail does not need intensive advertising investment on the table."
Rob, majoring in international trade, also hopes to export Kunming snails abroad and climb the table in France.
