The cattle in Qili Village are mainly cattle, because they are basically free-range, and the cattle appear to be relatively strong and powerful. Along the way, Manager Liang was carefully observing the cattle he encountered.

"The cattle breed is too ordinary!" Manager Liang couldn't help but complain.

Cattle are a common breed of cattle inherent in China, this kind of cattle has short horns and yellow-brown or black fur, and there are also variegated ones with short hair. It is used to plough the land or pull carts, the meat is for consumption, and the skin can be tanned. The number of breeding heads in China ranks first among all major livestock or cattle, and the breeding area is almost all over the country.

As Zhang Fan and they saw, the scalper has a stout physique, compact structure, strong muscles, strong limbs, and solid hooves.

It's just that, in the countryside, farmers prefer buffaloes. In their opinion, buffaloes are more industrious than scalpers. If it is breeding, it is more advantageous to have cattle and it is easy to grow meat.

"There are not many high-quality cattle in China, and if you want it, it is best to import it from abroad. Zhang Fan said to him.

However, that would be troublesome, and some countries do not export much of their high-quality cattle, and treat them almost as a scarce resource.

In addition, even if there is a way, it is one thing to get foreign high-quality cattle, whether they can adapt to the local growth environment after getting them back.

"This is not easy to do, let's take a look at you local scalpers first!Brother, do you have a way to improve it?" Manager Liang looked at Zhang Fan.

Ding Liang also looked over, he had also checked a lot of information on beef cattle during this time, and understood that the type of cattle was very important. Beef cattle are the same as horses, the breeds are different, and there is a world of difference between them.

For example, Japanese Wagyu, no matter how pure-blooded Wagyu is raised, its meat quality will still be better than that of ordinary beef cattle. It's a priori and it's a matter of genes.

And the cattle in their village seem to be the most ordinary cattle in the country, nothing special.

"Senior brother, your college major is biological improvement?"

Zhang Fan glanced at Ding Liang: "Who did you listen to? I studied biological reproduction, so I can be regarded as a match for improvement! However, the improvement of beef cattle species is not effective in a short period of time. ”

Manager Liang pondered for a while and knew that Zhang Fan's words made sense.

"What should I do then?" Ding Liang hurriedly asked.

He pondered the plan of raising cattle for a month, and if he couldn't do it, he wasted a month's energy in vain. And, next, he didn't know what to do.

"Instead of spending time improving, it's better to work on management. Raising cattle is also a technical job, and cattle raised like those in your village are generally tougher and not too good in taste, requiring the unique skills of the cooking master to make them delicious. ”

"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't feed it?" Ding Liang was a little dumbfounded.

He also thought that the cattle in his village were almost herding sheep, and the meat quality would be better? What kind of chickens and fish, they are all wild, and the price is higher, shouldn't the cattle be the same?

If you grow up on feed, the market price doesn't seem to be high, right?

"I said that I would work management, and I didn't say that I wanted to feed it!" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

"That ......"

Without waiting for the kid to speak, Zhang Fan immediately interrupted, saving him from endlessly: "Don't talk, listen to me." Even if you don't bring it up, raising cattle is part of my plan. It just so happens that I have mastered some cattle raising techniques, not to mention raising the world's top beef cattle, but it will definitely be better than your current one. ”

Seeing that the others were happy when they heard this, Zhang Fan continued: "There is no rush in advance, we will deal with the slaughterhouse first." The cycle of raising cattle is longer than that of pigs, and there is not a year or two without seeing results. ”

After hearing this, the people of Qili Village also began to calm down.

Yes, it sounds like a good prospect, but it's all every other year, so it's better to talk about what is in front of you. The slaughterhouse is the most direct benefit field in their village.

The slaughterhouse is implemented, and their village will be able to make a profit from next year.

"Yes, yes, let's talk about the slaughterhouse first!" the head of their village hurriedly chimed in.

As he spoke, he also cast a warning look at Ding Liang, telling him not to talk about anything else, and to listen more and talk less. They were really worried that this talk would make Zhang Fan and them unhappy.

After walking, we arrived in the village, and Manager Liang first went to see the raw beef that was left.

In fact, the main thing is to smell the smell, look at the color, pattern, elasticity, viscosity, etc.

Good beef smells like umami, without sourness or anything like that. The color is bright red and shiny, and the color is uniform, and the fat is white or creamy yellow.

The texture of beef is often an important basis for testing the quality of beef. Some good beef, with marbling, such as Wagyu beef, has more oil, denser and average than other varieties of beef, oily is the soft fat of the muscle, its distribution is even and delicate, the meat will be tender and juicy, and the oil will melt at 25 degrees Celsius, bringing a melt-in-your-mouth taste.

Judging from these aspects, the fresh beef in front of him can be regarded as a middle and upper level, which also made Manager Liang breathe a sigh of relief.

With this foundation, coupled with Zhang Fan's breeding technology, it should be confident that the time will come to make the top beef in China. If the beef cattle themselves are very poor, no matter how much they are managed, the mud will not be able to support the wall.

Sometimes, one's own qualifications are really important, and they can't be made up for later.

Ding Liang came over with a plate of steak diligently, did he ask the people in the village to make it seriously, how to make steak, or did he check it from the Internet, and then taught it to the village chef.

"Come, Senior Brother and Manager Liang, you two have a taste. In addition to steak, there are also brisket and the like. ”

"Frying steaks? Before he ate, Manager Liang began to comment.

To make this dish, the pot should be boiled very hot, so that when the steak is put into the pan, the high temperature will quickly seal the surface of the meat, allowing the delicious juice to remain inside. You can fry the steak with vegetable oil, or you can use butter, because it is not fried, so you don't need too much oil, a thin layer is fine.

Ding Liang hurriedly explained: "The first time I did it, I was hand-raw, there was no way." By the way, this is fully cooked. ”

Steaks are generally medium-rare, medium-rare, medium-rare, and fully rare, depending on how long they are fried.

Although the appearance is not very good-looking, Zhang Fan took two bites and felt quite good. Manager Liang didn't speak immediately, and tasted it for two minutes before he spoke: "It's not made of professional kitchenware, and if you're not skilled, it's good to be able to make this taste." ”

"By the way, I'll refrigerate this piece raw first, and I'll take it back later and roast it. ”

Barbecue is also a common way to eat beef, especially in Korea, where all meat has to be grilled to taste.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you. Ding nodded.

Not only that, but he also deliberately left some for Zhang Fan to take back to eat.
