It was cold and windy, and the waves crashed on the pier, and there was a mist splashing up, shining in the sun.

A pod of sea lions swim with the fishing boat to the pier, hoping to get the small fish that have been discarded into the sea, and occasionally catch some small fish that are not up to the size of the body size, and only start sorting when they come to the shore, and finally most of these sea lions and seals are cheap, they have become accustomed to how to live in harmony with humans.

For the first time in Chef Parker's life, he saw such a huge and fat Dungeness crab, which weighed five or six kilograms, and ordinary Dungeness crabs usually grew to one and a half kilograms, even if they were relatively good large crabs.

A chef like him, who runs a high-end restaurant and is sensitive to the raw materials, immediately interrupted, "It's a shame to eat it like this! I'm willing to pay five hundred dollars for it!"

Daddy Zhang made a move, and it took almost fifty Dungeness crabs to sell for so much money.

looked at Zhang Xiaokai with strange eyes, and then at Mr. Parker, and probably understood what his son meant by the wronged head, it seems that he is indeed quite rich.

Zhang Xiaokai held the Dungeness crab and nodded decisively: "Five hundred US dollars, the deal, it's your husband, I can eat a slightly smaller crab." ”

He doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, and now he doesn't want to let go of any opportunity to make money, and then there are a lot of debts waiting to be resolved, and his desire to talk about can be put aside for the time being.

Such a large Dungeness crab is indeed rare, but the one that weighs a little smaller, the one weighing three or four kilograms, can catch a few every three or five times this year.

"Daddy, this is the restaurateur from Los Angeles, Mr. Parker, the one I told you on the phone, he wants to buy cattle and sheep. Zhang Xiaokai's face was as usual, and he helped to introduce it, and found a net pocket casually, put the crab in it and tied it well, and he couldn't die for a while in this weather.

"That's it, hello, hello, there is a fishy smell on your hands, just shake hands.

The cattle and sheep we raised last year have already been sold out, and this year's will not be raised until after the beginning of spring, and in order to raise the top cattle and sheep, we have been insisting on original ecological grazing, and it is estimated that we will have to wait until the end of the year until they grow into adulthood. Can you leave a phone number and contact us in advance when the time comes?"

Just now, I have learned from my son that the beef and mutton in front of him who is anxious to want his own pasture, and Father Zhang is hanging the other party's appetite at the moment, planning to sell the remaining cattle and sheep at a good price.

Of course, it is better to succeed, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't, as long as the cattle and sheep are raised well this year, according to the agreed price signed with Wal-Mart, the income will be considerable.

Mr. Wolfgang Parker heard the meaning of refusing to sell from these words, and how could he know that the father and son had colluded in front of him, digging a pit together and waiting for him to jump down, and looked a little anxious, and said: "I heard your son tell me that there are still some cattle and sheep that have not been sold? I only need a few, about seven to ten cows, and the mutton is really not good, even if it is not good, I am willing to give a higher price than the market price!"

"But those are cattle that are kept for breeding, and there are only six bulls, and by the way, there are a few male cows. The breeding sheep can be sold, but whether it is cattle or sheep, the price is relatively high, and the ranch next door is willing to pay 20,000 dollars a head to buy my breeding cattle, but I don't sell it. ”

"They want to breed your kind of cow, right, I'm different, I just need ingredients, and the price is completely negotiable!"

"If so...... I will help you slaughter it, 18,000 dollars a head, I will not sell it below this number, if it is not for the lack of money to run it now, I will not sell the breeding cattle anyway, they are the healthiest and strongest cattle in the whole pasture! As for those meat sheep, 600 dollars a head, I don't want to sell them if they are low. ”

I was shocked by this number, but the top beef and mutton purchased by the restaurant on weekdays is also very expensive, which does not make Mr. Parker think that this is a sky-high price.

In the mind of self-persuasion, because it is a breeding cattle, breeding sheep, so the price is high, so I don't feel cheated when I think about it, keep the breeding cattle, the price is surprisingly high, like the breeding cattle of Wagyu, even if you have money can't buy it, that is the most valuable wealth in a company and pasture.

Zhang Xiaokai saw that he didn't speak, and secretly glanced at his father, the meaning in his eyes was that the price was too high, he thought that 10,000 US dollars a head was already very high, for fear of scaring the buyer away.

Daddy Zhang was also a little worried, thinking about whether he should lower it and say more good things to praise those cattle and sheep when the other party made a counteroffer.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Parker nodded directly in agreement, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, 18,000 dollars a head, Angus cattle and Charolais cattle, I will buy as many as I want, what breed of cows are there?" Simmental cattle can be considered, the meat quality of the remaining cow breeds is not very good, as for the mutton, I want to taste it before I make a decision, maybe I have to borrow a kitchen ......."

......

When encountering such a bold buyer, the business is too easy to negotiate.

In fact, Wolfgang Parker, the chef god of Los Angeles, also has his own little abacus in his heart, anyway, he can raise the price to sell, and there are so many rich people in Los Angeles, there will always be no shortage of buyers who are willing to try it.

And with a large amount of beef, he was able to launch his signature dish and be the first to promote Cleveland beef, which is a great honor for a chef who will be remembered when he uses this beef in the future.

Now, he hadn't heard of a restaurant that had launched a "Cleveland Steak" menu, and at Mr. Parker's status, fame in the culinary world was far more important than money.

You and I want to buy and sell.

After visiting the bulls that were about to be sold in the cleaned cattle pen, and taking a look at the meat sheep by the way, and then coming to the house, Daddy Zhang took out a large portion of chopped frozen lamb chops.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the cows were already pregnant this season, the father and son would have wanted to sell the cows and earn more than $10,000 each, where would they have found a cattle breeding business with such an astonishing rate of return.

In the past, there was no market, so I had to sell to Wal-Mart, which was willing to pay a high price, but now I think that directly selling to high-end restaurants can also make amazing profits, and cattle raising is undoubtedly more profitable than meat sheep.

————————————

Quite dissatisfied with the kitchen.

From knives, to butter, to pots and spices, Mr. Parker suddenly turns on the poisonous tongue mode, reducing the kitchen to worthless.

The only thing to praise is probably the lamb that gradually melts under the warm water, and he is going to fry the lamb chops, and grill a few lamb leg sticks by the way, just when he is hungry, so that he doesn't have to go anywhere else to eat.

Zhang Xiaokai saw his attentive appearance, and suddenly found that it was cool to be a chef, and secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being a top chef, and had more expectations for the food he was about to taste next.

Both Dungeness crabs were also put into the pot, and the open kitchen gradually diffused the smell of food.

It can be seen that Mr. Parker is also very satisfied with the mutton, and after tasting a lamb chop fried in advance, his eyes are shining, and he immediately talked to Daddy Zhang about the purchase, including cattle and sheep and some kinds of aquatic products, and is ready to create a series of dishes.

The earth is so big, and all kinds of ingredients have been exploited for millions of years, and some chefs are unable to innovate in the taste of their dishes, so they have to pursue bells and whistles such as plating, decoration, etc.

I cleaned up the table, opened a bottle of cheap wine in the supermarket for $30 in advance, and always felt sorry for Mr. Parker's chef status if I didn't drink some red wine.

I think it's delicious, and when I actually eat it, I think it's even better.

The meat was eaten until the lamb bones were cleanly thrown to Tom the fat cat, and he was teased again and again, which made the fat guy's eyes more and more unkind.

Tom had already begun to show his claws, wondering if he should rush up and jump up to make Zhang Xiaokai have a longer memory.

Yes, it really thinks it can still jump.

It's like drilling a small doorway, without the slightest consciousness of being a fat person......
