Chapter 406: Delicious Steak
Even though Zhuang Haiyang took over the ranch for less than half a year, the reputation of the Ocean Ranch, which has been renamed at present, is constantly improving. Especially for the well-known restaurants in New Zealand, most of them are aware of the existence of this ranch.
To the delight of these restaurateurs, the produce sold at the Sea Ranch and the lambs raised are of the highest quality and nutritional content. Diners who have tasted it have all praised it.
What is a headache for them is that the farm has limited ingredients for sale. Whether it is the agricultural products that are grown, or the lambs that were snatched up in the previous time, there are not many of them. If you buy it, you may earn it.
Buyers who were unable to buy these ingredients were a little unhappy, but they still established a contact channel with the ranch. There is only one purpose, which is to hope that next time there will be new ingredients in the ranch, they will not miss it again.
Even if they know it, the ranch sales model is somewhat similar to the situation of starvation sales. The problem is that they also know in their hearts that there may not be a second place in the world for such a superb ingredient except for marine ranching.
Knowing that he was going to bleed heavily, he could see other restaurants that bought ingredients at a high price, and they made a smile one by one. And restaurants that refuse to pay high prices can only make money from other restaurants in the end. Who wouldn't be annoyed in this situation?
Thankfully, only two or three suppliers are selected for the produce sold at a time, and only for one year. The previous two restaurants, with this kind of franchise, undoubtedly earned their first pot of gold.
But everyone knows that when the supply contract period of these two restaurants ends. At the next auction, restaurants that are eligible to bid will have to pay a higher price in order to be eligible for the contract.
Correspondingly, with the first batch of lambs sold, the restaurants that have made a lot of money and fame are sharpening their knives and preparing to participate in the bidding for the second batch of lambs. This also means that the price of these lambs will inevitably explode at that time.
Compared with the agricultural products of the plantation and the meat sheep, more buyers who have been to the ranch are very concerned about the sale and quality of beef cattle. After receiving a call from Janook, the purchasing directors of several restaurants arrived in the South Island with their chefs.
At the same time, the first beef cattle sent for inspection, after slaughtering and segmentation, the agency responsible for testing also gave these beef a special grade. Seeing this report, Januk naturally shouted excitedly.
Only Zhuang Haiyang said calmly: "Nuke, a report doesn't mean anything." Whether the beef is good or not, you still have to eat it to know. Wait until the staff are called, and we'll taste the beef at noon. ”
"Ahh ”
Having never tasted the best beef, Janook knew at least one thing. That is, if you go to a restaurant and eat beef that can be rated as premium, it is estimated that it will cost a few hundred NZ$ per piece.
This also means that the price of a pound of beef may eat them a month or more. With such expensive beef, please eat it to the staff of the ranch. In Jenuk's opinion, it did seem a little too wasteful.
Only Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile on his face: "Nuke, such a good beef cow itself was raised by you." You have the greatest credit, so why can't you taste the fruits of your labor? Only when you have tasted it will you know in your heart.
In that case, when you work in the future, you will know how lucky you are to be able to breed such high-quality beef cattle. When the beef cattle in the pasture are truly famous in the world, you can also proudly say that the cattle were raised by you. ”
With these words, Januk also felt very excited. In fact, the agency in charge of food testing also felt very incredible after seeing the beef sent for inspection. The quality of the same type of beef simply does not meet this standard.
In the words of those inspectors, the quality of these beefs is already comparable to the top beef in the world. In contrast, Angus cattle raised on other pastures do not meet this standard and grade.
After the news came out, the ranch management department of New Zealand was also shocked: "Is this true? Is the quality of the beef sent by the marine ranch really comparable to the top beef cattle in the world?"
"Yes, there was a lot of beef sent by Sea Ranch for testing, and when the first test report came out, we were all incredulous and used it for a second test. As a result, all the test data were the same as the first time. ”
"Will there be exceptions?"
"That's not guaranteed. Personally, though, I don't think it's very likely. ”
"If this ranch really breeds such high-quality beef cattle, then we should increase our support. If possible, we will promote it as our top beef cattle brand to the world. ”
As a country that places a high value on animal husbandry, they are well aware of the value of breeding top beef cattle. Even though Angus cattle are common all over the world, they have been improved by marine ranching.
This also means that if the calves bred in the later stages of the marine ranch can also achieve this quality. In this case, it is possible to promote the breeding cattle bred by marine ranches to pastures across the country and increase the competitiveness of beef exports.
Zhuang Haiyang, who was entertaining the employees for dinner, naturally did not know about these discussions. For him, he was quite interested in seeing the slaughtered and cut beef. And the taste of beef is naturally self-evident.
The beef served to the employees is the best quality beef from the cows. Even if the portion of the steak is not large, when the first piece is fried, Zhuang Haiyang will taste it directly. I didn't even add any ingredients to the steak.
Cut the beef that was still a little bright red in the center, swallowed it into his mouth and chewed, and felt the juice of the beef burst, forming a strong impact in his mouth, Zhuang Haiyang couldn't help but say: "This beef, the taste is really great!"
While saying this, Zhuang Haiyang did not forget to cut a piece of Hong Wei who was standing next to him. After tasting it, Hong Wei's eyes also opened in an instant: "It's amazing! Is this really beef? This taste is really different!"
"Hehe, such a delicious beef, when those buyers arrive, it is estimated that they will not be able to sell it at a high price. ”
"That's natural! Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many beef cattle that can be sold this time!"
"You're wrong, after tasting the beef, I think the number of beef cattle sold should be reduced. For the first batch, I'm going to sell only fifty heads. The rest will be sold in two auctions, so that the price will be higher.
In terms of taste, I've eaten Wagyu beef raised by little devils before, and the taste of that beef is also extremely good. But for my personal taste, I prefer the taste of beef from my own farm.
If the little devil's beef can be sold so expensive, why can't we? What we lack is nothing more than time and fame. Every time we sell in small quantities, I believe that one day, the price of our beef will be more expensive than the little devil's wagyu beef!"
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang, who was full of confidence, Hong Wei also smiled and said: "I am looking forward to this day!"
The two steaks that are fried can't fill the stomachs of two people at all. After eating three pieces per person in one go, the two of them felt finally satisfied. When the employees arrived one after another, Zhuang Haiyang also called Will and Janook into the kitchen.
Bringing out a piece of steak that had just come out of the pot, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Will, Nuke, try the steak from our own ranch." Black pepper flavor, medium rare, you taste it first, and then tell me, how you feel!"
"OK! Thank you, boss!"
As the two of them picked up their knives and forks, they began to cut the fried steak, and after tasting it, both of them opened their eyes wide and said, "Oh Maiga, the taste of this steak is simply amazing." BOSS, is this really our beef?"
"That's natural! Except for some beef sent for inspection, the rest of the beef is in the fresh-keeping box! Do you think there is any difference between the taste of our beef and the most expensive beef you have ever tasted?"
In the face of Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, Jenuk also said directly: "BOSS, although I have never eaten the most expensive beef in the world, the steak I eat now should be the most delicious steak I have ever eaten in my life." ”
"Yes, the taste of this beef is really fantastic!"
Listening to the praise of the two, Zhuang Haiyang also signaled the two to hurry up and eat while it was hot. After a steak was wiped out, seeing the two who were still unsatisfied, Zhuang Haiyang fried two more steaks again, and let the two continue to stand and taste the beef.
When the two of them wiped out the steak on the plate again, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Have the employees arrived?" Go to the wine cabinet over there and take a case of red wine and give it to the employees to enjoy. The steak is cooked, and you come and serve it again.
Tell the staff that they can enjoy up to three steaks per person at noon. If you don't like the black pepper steak and want to pair it with other flavors, I have prepared a lot of seasoning packets, so you can choose your own. ”
"Thank you, boss! I think those guys will love you to death!"
Regarding Januk's ridicule, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say much. In addition to the steak, Zhuang Haiyang also cooked some noodles and served them with some beef specially marinated. I believe that this bowl of beef noodles will also make employees feel comfortable eating physically and mentally.
Only by allowing these employees to share the joy and pride of this kind of breeding will they be more attentive to the management of these beef cattle, whose value is bound to explode. As the ranch becomes more profitable, they will receive more at the end of the year.
As a result, it is clear that the employees who have tasted this steak feast are extremely excited and proud. Even if the ration of three steaks is a bit insufficient, but a bowl of beef noodles is delicious, and everyone feels that it is too much to eat.
By the end of the afternoon, what made the employees even more appreciative was that each ranch employee received a gift box containing a three-pound piece of beef. It doesn't seem like much, but it's enough for the whole family to share.
All employees were very happy with this gift. In the eyes of the ranch staff, they will be proud of their family members when they have tasted such delicious beef. After all, such delicious beef was raised by them!
