"Brother Crazy, Brother Crazy! The cow has been killed at the entrance of the village, what a big cow!"

In the morning, just after finishing the affairs of the cooperative, the duckling jumped in and told Zhang Feng the news.

"Oh, who killed the cow?" Zhang Feng was taken aback, and then asked with a smile.

In the past, beef was a luxury for the villagers, but now that everyone has made money, it is not a matter for each family to consume ten catties or eight catties, so Zhang Feng is not surprised.

The little guy was not polite at all, and when he saw the tea on the table, he poured himself a cup with a smile and drank it with a smile.

After drinking the tea, the little guy said with a smile: "It's the Zhang butcher's house at the entrance of the village!"

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that Zhang Butcher is a pig killer in the village, and he usually sells pork in the nearby townships, don't look at the butcher's work is inconspicuous, but his income is more than most people, and he can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year.

Therefore, Zhang's family used to be a big family in the village, and it was the first family in the village to buy a car, and now the family not only has a small truck and a sedan, but also two small three-wheelers.

I have to say that Zhang Butcher's business acumen is not out, seeing that the villagers have made money, and taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to actually start the business of killing cattle, there is no doubt that killing cattle is more profitable than killing pigs.

Killing a pig can only earn four or five hundred at most, but killing a cow, to say the least, can earn thousands of yuan, although killing a cow is more bitter and tiring, but as long as there is money to earn, will he still be tired?

Barking...... Barking......

Seeing the little duck coming, Da Hei and Xiao Hei also ran over happily, shaking their heads around him.

"Hehe, big black and little black, you are so good!" the little guy happily touched the dog's head, and then said, "Brother madman, can I take big black and little black out to play?"

"Okay, but you can't go far, you have to come back before noon, you know?" Zhang Feng smiled, the two dogs have been playing crazy with the ducklings recently, running all over the mountains every day.

"Hee-hee, I know the crazy brother!"

"Wang, Wang!" "Big Black Little Black smiled and shouted to Zhang Feng with a humane smile, as if to say that we will come back after playing for a while.

"Big black, little black, let's go......" The little guy happily called the two dogs and ran quickly towards the outside of the courtyard.

After watching the little guy leave, Zhang Feng smiled and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Didn't the old man go to the entrance of the village to watch people kill cattle?" Zhang Feng shouted to Lao Tzu across the wall.

"What?, someone killed a cow at the entrance of the village today?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Yes, today Zhang's butcher killed cattle, and I'm going to buy a few catties. Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Then you wait for me, I'll go with you!" The old man hurriedly hung the birdcage into the house, said to Grandma Liu, and followed Zhang Feng towards the entrance of the village.

……

When the grandfather and grandson came to the entrance of the village, it was already crowded with villagers, and they saw Zhang Butcher and his son in the middle of the crowd, scraping the cowhide, and most of them had already been scraped.

"Well, yes, it's actually an authentic local cattle!!" the old man couldn't help but smile when he saw the yellow cowhide.

Anyone who knows a little about beef knows that yellow beef has the best quality and taste, while buffalo meat is slightly less delicious.

In terms of meat quality, the meat of yellow beef is more delicate, the color is brown and red, the soft tissue is white, the fat is light yellow or dark yellow, and the meat is delicious;

The buffalo meat is dark and dark red, the meat fiber is coarse and loose, the water content is more, and the fragrance is weak, there is no doubt that the quality of buffalo meat is not as good as yellow beef at all.

As a result, high-end restaurants use almost all yellow beef.

………………

"The butcher brought me two catties, don't be fat......"

"Butcher, I want five pounds ......"

"Don't be busy, come one by one, it's not enough for me to kill another one tomorrow............"

Seeing the surging crowd of meat stalls, Zhang Butcher's face bloomed with joy, and before that, he was also extremely worried, worried that his beef would not be sold, and he was ready to freeze half of it in the refrigerator and sell it when he rushed to the market tomorrow.

He was overjoyed to know that there were so many villagers selling meat, and it seemed that the villagers had made money and were more willing to spend.

"I'll go, this business is too hot?"

"Hehe, it's okay, this cow is five or six hundred catties to say the least, let's go in and buy it when the people are less." The old man and the old god said.

Sure enough, the old man was right, and after about half an hour, the villagers gradually dispersed, and only one hind leg of the beef remained, and there were some corners and corners.

"Uncle Butcher brought me thirty catties of hind leg meat!"

Zhang Butcher is also Zhang Feng's distant cousin, but Zhang Feng himself is not light on the relationship between the two families, because it has been too long, and the genealogy in the village has also been damaged in a special era, and since then, the genealogy has not been restored.

"Okay, I'll cut the best place for you, and make sure the meat is the best!" said Zhang Butcher with a smile,

At this time, Zhang Feng has become a man of the year in the village, the new richest man in Zhangjiawan, and everyone is full of respect for him.

"Thirty-one pounds, even thirty pounds is good. Zhang Butcher generously erased a pound of fraction.

"Thank you, Uncle Butcher, how much is it in total?" Zhang Feng smiled and did not postpone, and then asked.

"A total of nine hundred yuan!!" Zhang Butcher said with a smile, if he met a big customer like Zhang Feng every time, his business would definitely be even more prosperous.

After giving the money, Zhang Feng asked Zhang Butcher to help cut the beef into two catties and one piece, so that it could be marinated into beef ganba when taken home, and it would definitely taste very good.

……………………

"Old man, isn't the cow ganba similar to cured bacon??" the two talked as they walked home.

"Hehe, it's about the same, but it's a ......thousand miles away."

Then the old man began to explain to Zhang Feng the knowledge of making beef ganba.

Beef ganba is a delicacy often made by the local Hui people.

Generally, it is marinated with good beef, and when marinating beef ganba, the fresh beef that has not been washed is added with salt, spices, pepper powder, etc., and rubbed vigorously and repeatedly on the dustpan.

Generally, the meat is kneaded thick, and then the thin is kneaded, and every 100 kilograms of beef vegetables are 3 to 5 kg of salt, and then placed in the clay jar, placed in a cool place, and put into the clay jar according to the thickness of the meat, and then the cylinder mouth is sealed with a wooden lid and a burlap bag.

After the beef is marinated for about half a month, it is taken out to dry. On sunny days, it is dried in the morning, collected in the afternoon, and flattened and stacked according to the thickness of the meat.

On a dustpan or large wooden table, thin meat is on the bottom, thick meat on top, and layers are flattened. In about a month, the drying process is complete. After the cured meat is dried, the meat surface is dry and hard, and it is chestnut colored, and it can be hung in the house for preparation.

The steaks are arranged on a wooden frame, and the blocks are neatly shaped, the color is like corn husks, and the smell is fragrant. A good ganba can be left for the next winter, and it is a luxury delicacy that is very popular among the local people.
