CCTV News: In the cold winter, many people are keen on eating delicious mutton to nourish their bodies and resist the cold. As the Spring Festival approaches and the cold wave is coming, various places are also ushering in the peak period of mutton consumption. Let’s take a look at the reporter’s investigation in Shanghai.
In a wholesale agricultural product market in Baoshan, Shanghai, merchants are unloading the mutton that has just been slaughtered from Hebei. This batch of mutton will be divided on the same day and then sent to various vegetable markets in Shanghai.
The wholesale market is booming, and many restaurants with mutton featured in Shanghai have also seen significant sales growth. At five o'clock in the afternoon, a restaurant in Putuo District, Shanghai was already full of customers. The two signature dishes of stewed mutton and hand-catched mutton are must-order dishes for many customers.
The store manager told reporters that the increase in passenger flow is approaching the Spring Festival, especially during the peak of supper, customers usually spend a lot of time waiting in line.
Industry insiders said that due to the good breeding benefits in previous years, farmers have increased the sheep stock, which has made the market supply of mutton sufficient. Recently, due to the concentrated release of holiday demand, the price of mutton has risen slightly, but due to the relatively loose market supply, it is expected that the price of mutton will remain basically stable.
