327 Killing the New Year Pig
Wind (thanks to friends deep mountain ancient temple, wind out of the clouds, hibernating lion, helpless gun, jdjjfrjfkdfl hand monthly pass encouragement)
This year's weather conditions are really not very good, and Liu Heming can be regarded as having a completed winter in the real sense here.
The temperature has been very low, and it is a cold winter. The snow fell a few more times, but fortunately it didn't last as long as the cold snap, and it only rained for less than three days at most.
Today is February 16, 2015, Liu Heming's ranch is busy, from today to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, temporarily do not accept tourists. It's so capricious, we don't make money if we have it.
Liu Yi, who was far away in Houston, was also called over and followed him for the New Year. Originally, he planned to go home, but Liu Heming had already made an appointment early, also so that he could accompany Tang Shenshen.
In fact, Liu Heming knows that Liu Yi is now in a semi-suspended state. The previous law firm was indeed very good, but there was no suitable soil for his development, so now he is doing some small odd jobs. Knowing that he knows, Liu Heming didn't break it, Liu Yi didn't say it, he must have his own ideas.
drove the car, pulled two fat pigs, and drove to the slaughterhouse in the town of Grent. Although this is not in China, it is also a pig. This is a pig that has not been fed a little bit of processed feed, and is all fed with thin feed.
Come to the slaughterhouse in Grent Town, register, pay the money, get the license, and the rest is to wait. Liu Heming just gave an extra explanation, and the internal organs had to be kept for him. People here don't eat it, but he loves to eat it very much.
"George, how do you think your mood is not very good?" Seeing that George was a little depressed after coming back from a circle outside, Liu Heming asked curiously.
"During this period, the price of beef cattle has been declining, all because of the rise in pasture and feed prices, if there is heavy snow before the arrival of spring, this year's slaughter of beef cattle, I am afraid that there will be no money. George said with a sigh.
"Just a few snowstorms, the impact is so serious?" Liu Heming asked curiously.
In his mind, raising cattle should be quite profitable. Americans are so keen to eat beef, and cattle are fed for more grass than in the fattening period. As long as you have land, you can be self-sufficient.
"Dexter, if it had been at the same stocking density as before, the investment cost of feeding might have been lower. George said with a smile.
"But nowadays, people are all about efficiency, and with a variety of feeds as a supplement, the stocking density is two to three times higher than before. During the fattening period, these cattle need to supplement various concentrates, and the investment required will increase a lot. ”
"When the market is better, everyone's income will be very good, but in this year's situation, even if the price of beef cattle is lower, they can only sell. I don't know if the price can rise after feeding for a while, and the cost of feeding will definitely increase a lot. ”
"But that's normal, there will always be a time or two in the year when the price of beef cattle will drop a lot. In fact, it is not about how much these ranchers raise, the key is to see what kind of price these meat companies want to buy. ”
There was some helplessness in George's words, this is the shopkeeper's bullying. This is true not only in the meat industry, but also in agricultural products.
For example, wheat, the price fluctuations in the world have little to do with you, and these grain import and export companies will always reach a tacit agreement to coordinate the purchase price, purchase from the cheap place, and sell to the high price. It's just that people do it very skillfully, and they can't catch their mistakes.
If you want to buy other people's seeds, and if you don't have enough money, you want to get a loan from someone else's designated bank. Your wheat harvest is low. Your wheat production has decreased, and other people's banks have made money. No matter what the output is on your side, people are a sure-fire business.
This is also an economic law in the world, farmers and ranchers can be regarded as the lowest producers in the entire marketing chain, and the profits are basically controlled by those in the circulation link.
The two of them were waiting and chatting here, and several large truckloads of beef cattle were sent from the slaughterhouse. There are also many people waiting here with a list, just waiting for these random cattle to be slaughtered to see how the ratings of each part are. If the rating is higher, even if the current price is lower, it can be sold for more money.
But basically, this kind of situation is rare, and it can survive once or twice a month. Because the cattle breeds and feeding methods introduced by everyone are similar, if you want to produce more high-quality beef, you have to be willing to pay for it.
After waiting for a while, there were workers in the slaughterhouse pushing the slaughtered pigs out of the slaughterhouse. Liu Heming took a general look, it was not bad, the fat was not very thick, and there was more lean meat.
When he returned home, Liu Heming picked up his kitchen knife and dismantled the two pigs. Even if I haven't done this work before, it's a bit laborious to decompose. But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's all eaten at home, and it's just right to have more meat on the ribs and big bones.
"We haven't raised pigs in our family for many years, but I didn't expect to come to a foreign country and still be able to eat New Year's pigs. Su Rong said with a smile.
"When spring begins, let's continue to raise. But we have to change their positions, and we have to get a good circle, otherwise it will affect the cultivation of those vegetables. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"Boss, when are you going to turn that restaurant into a real restaurant?" asked Tang Shenshen as he rubbed his shoulder.
"You'll have to wait, your brother will be here this afternoon, and I'm going to go back to China with him to recruit some cooks." Liu Heming said with a smile.
"It's easy to create a restaurant, but you also have to have a good idea of what these tourists eat. So I'm going to build a small food court and recruit more special chefs. Being able to support both the food court and our restaurants is a great deal. ”
"Hey, you can go back to China and have a good time, I'll have to show you here. Don said with a deep bitter face.
She also wanted to go back and have a look, but she couldn't cook here. When there are tourists, this side is making money every day, and you have to have professional ethics and be worthy of your salary and bonuses.
"Daddy, are you going out to play?" Alex, who was playing with the animals on the side, heard and leaned over.
"Well, Dad is going back to Huaxia, how about it, do you want to go play with Dad?" Liu Heming said with a smile, and glanced at Sasha proudly.
"Well, I think. Can you take the Selin, the birds, the insects, the ashes, the bears, the cats, and the cows?" the little one nodded happily.
The smugness on Liu Heming's face disappeared, and the task given by his daughter was too arduous. With such a bunch of small animals, even if you have a private jet, you have to be super big to pull them all at once.
"Dad can only take you and Mom, no other small animals can take him. Liu Heming could only disappoint his daughter in the end, but he still brought Sasha with him.
It's almost the same if it's not a forced sale, anyway, the girl is now making up her mind to go back to Huaxia with her. Sasha thinks about her daughter, and if she wants to or not, she has to sing with her husband.
Su Rong on the side was very satisfied, she felt that it should be like this. Although Sasha's daughter-in-law is taller than her son, she is still very good. When she talks to herself, she always uses Chinese, which is rare in her opinion, and this is respect for herself.
"I want to go and have fun with me, and they all say that Huaxia is very fun, and I really want to go and see it. Helois, who was watching the excitement on the side, said with some envy.
"Want to go?" Liu Heming glanced at her.
At this time, Helois came to his senses, and his eyes were "shining".
"Prepare your passport, and wait for Liu Yi to go through the formalities for you when the time comes. However, at most, it is business class, and first class is still a bit of a luxury for us. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.
"Haha, the boss is great. "Helois jumped and jumped with excitement.
She knew that since the boss would say this, he had to bear the high cost of the plane ticket, which was really a good boss.
"Okay, let's talk here, I'll go cook laba porridge. Su Rong said with a smile.
Laba Laba, frozen jaw. Although it is said that it cannot be frozen, the custom of eating laba porridge has been handed down. It's not Laba today, but this thing is delicious, and it's nothing to boil.
The ingredients here are also easy to purchase, so it's just right to eat this today. Don't look at Laba porridge like multigrain porridge, when it is boiled, it is also sweet and glutinous.
"Are you really going to Huaxia?" Seeing Su Rong leaving, Sasha leaned over to him and asked softly.
"Well, one is to recruit some chefs, and the other is to take my daughter to see her country. Let's go together, it's just to play in the past. If you don't go, Alex will miss you. Liu Heming nodded.
Sasha gave him a white look, where he did not yet know his "wolf ambitions". But she also knew that whether she wanted to or not, she had to follow. I was reluctant to be separated from my daughter for too long, otherwise why quit my job there.
"I'm worried about Nina, I think it's okay, they're all very experienced people, and whatever the task is pediatric for them. Liu Heming said comfortingly.
"But I've never seen her on a mission for so long. Sasha shook her head and said.
"You have to think about it this way, maybe this task is over, Nina has a lot of credit, and then she will be promoted and don't have to go out on duty. Liu Heming said with a smile.
Sasha sighed and didn't say anything, I hope so. She also thought about it, and when Nina's mission is over, she must talk to her well, and strive to let Nina transfer her work here.
It's not just about getting Nina out of danger, it's about letting Nina spend more time with herself. She found that her heart has been a little unstable recently, and she always seems to run away from Liu Heming.
