【Chapter 302】 The best beef
After a good night's sleep, Professor Lille and the other members of the delegation were awakened by the melodious sound of birdsong, and one by one stood in front of the window of the room and watched the birds leaping and singing in the treetops.
In addition to the sound of birds, the sound of chickens and dogs barking can be heard faintly in the village, as well as the sound of pots and pans crashing into each house, which is simply a beautiful village morning concerto. This typical rural Chinese morning is something that Professor Lille and his companions rarely experience, so they feel very fresh.
However, when they came to the restaurant to prepare for the meal, they were stunned by the dishes presented on the table, because the inn prepared an authentic Western-style breakfast for them!
In fact, Lille and the others didn't know that these Western-style breakfasts were carefully prepared by the chefs of the Mirror Lake Hotel early in the morning and delivered to the 'Drunken Red Dust' Inn before the delegation members got up.
Although Jinghu could not entertain the assessment delegation openly, it was still possible to use various conditions to create better conditions for the delegation.
The foreigners were quite polite, and after thanking Xiao Jiangguo, the owner of the 'Drunken Hongchen' Inn, they sat down at the table and began to enjoy breakfast.
Professor Lille was a devout Christian, so he prayed as was customary before breakfast, and then slowly picked up his knife and fork and began to deal with the bread, ham, and fried eggs in front of him.
The bread was delicious, but it didn't taste like Professor Lille had tasted before, but the taste of ham and fried eggs moved Lille.
The raw materials of fried eggs come from the high-quality eggs of Xiaojia Farm, after being fried by the chef's skillful hands, the egg whites are condensed like jade, and the egg yolk is bright, not to mention the taste, just looking at the appearance makes people very appetizing.
After entering the mouth, the egg white is tender and smooth, and the egg yolk is fragrant and delicious, like a hundred chickens jumping in their mouths!
The thin slices of ham are even more breathtaking, and the thin hams melt in the mouth, salty and sweet, and have a rich aroma, which can be called the top product among hams.
Lille has eaten a lot of high-quality ham before, and even the Iberian (IBE) ham that costs as much as 2,000 pounds a piece has been fortunate enough to taste it many times, but compared to the ham slices in front of me, I am afraid that there is something missing?
Professor Lille and his friends never imagined that such an exquisite and authentic Western-style breakfast would appear in such a little-known B&B inn!
At this time, thinking of the title of the three-Michelin star restaurant of the Xiao family's private restaurant, Lille couldn't help but have a stronger interest in Ginkgo Village, is this an unknown food town?
Picking up the warm fresh milk in his hand, Lillette felt a rich milky aroma rushing to his face, and the silky milk tasted excellent, not the best milk Lille had ever drunk in the Netherlands.
At the end of breakfast, Lille and his companions were naturally stunned, and it was rare for them to taste such a delicious Western breakfast after they had traveled all over the world.
When we heard that the origin of these ingredients is local to Ginkgo Village, especially the milk is the fresh milk of Jinghu Ranch today, everyone has more expectations for the next beef cattle testing.
After all, according to the past practice, the quality of beef cattle is generally not bad for the pastures that can feed high-quality dairy cows!
After eating and drinking, the electric car prepared by Jinghu Ranch was already waiting at the door of the inn, and Li'er led the team to board the car and meet Xiao Feng and his party at the entrance of Jinghu Ranch.
After greeting for a while, everyone didn't stay long, and rode the quartter horse to the depths of the pasture to select the ten-year-old bull cub that needs to be slaughtered today!
Now, with the expansion of the Jinghu Ranch, most of the beef cattle are grazing in the wild, except for the cows who need to be driven back to the barn for careful care, and they can be driven into the woods to rest at night. As a result, these cattle to be slaughtered are usually grazed in pastures in the middle of the valley and then selected when needed.
Without much effort, the cowboys of the ranch randomly selected five young bulls under the guidance of Lille and others, drove them all the way back to the entrance of the valley, and sent them to the cattle cart.
In order to avoid the pollution of the Jinghu area by the slaughterhouse, the slaughterhouse built for the Jinghu Ranch was placed on the east bank of the Lancang River, after all, it has complete sewage treatment equipment and more convenient transportation.
When Professor Lille rushed to the slaughterhouse with the beef cattle, the person in charge of the slaughterhouse, Xiao Feng's brother-in-law Yang Hongxing was already waiting here!
Since Jinghu Ranch is expected to be able to slaughter more than 50,000 beef cattle per year in the future, according to the slaughtering, cutting and packaging price of 5OORMB per cow, this is an operating income of more than 25 million RMB, plus the slaughtering business of tens of thousands of local black pigs and hundreds of thousands of poultry in Xiaojia Farm, the turnover of the entire slaughterhouse will not be less than 5OORMB in a year.
For such a project with stable business and not low profits, Xiao Feng's natural fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders!
With Xiao Feng's support, several of Xiao Feng's brothers-in-law and relatives of the Xiao family, including his uncle and aunt, became shareholders of the slaughterhouse, and jointly raised 2ooo million RMB to build a project supporting Jinghu Ranch and Xiao Family Farm.
Today, the fully automated production line for slaughtering beef cattle is a high-end product imported from the United States, which is also prepared to meet the sales of top-quality beef in the future.
After all, in the top international beef market, it is not only you who breed good beef cattle and everything will be fine, but also have extremely strict standards for slaughtering, packaging, transportation, refrigeration, etc. If Xiao Feng wants to make the beef of Jinghu Ranch become the royal ingredient of the world's top restaurants, he must start from the slaughtering process and strictly prevent all kinds of irregularities.
The experts of the delegation carried out a detailed inspection of the production line and concluded that both the automation process and the sanitary conditions met the relevant requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture, which allowed the slaughter to be launched today.
Since the entire production line is fully automated, Xiao Feng, Professor Lille and others stand behind the tempered glass, watching a lively little bull slowly transform into various beef parts, and then be vacuum-packed.
The whole process has a hint of science fiction.
By the time all five calves were slaughtered, it took less than 2o minutes, and the whole process was extremely efficient, and this advanced slaughtering line, with a total price of more than one million US dollars, was really worth the money!
Next, it comes to the most critical part, that is, the expert evaluation team evaluates the grade of the slaughtered beef!
Quality grade is an indicator of beef flavor (f1avor), tenderness and juiciness (junetess), which is mainly determined by two factors: maturity (matu dayty) and marb1ing fat content of the ribeye muscle, which is also an important basis for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to evaluate beef grades.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rating system, the physiological maturity (not the actual age of maturity) is determined by subjectively looking at the bone structure and lean meat color, and it is rated on a scale of A to E. Generally speaking, beef cattle aged 9-3o months have the greatest possibility of producing the highest grade beef, so the beef cattle selected by Jinghu Ranch are about one year old, which is the most appropriate.
Fat content of rib eye muscle marbling refers to the amount of fat markings in lean flesh on the rib eye muscle section between the S12 and 13th ribs. When grading, it is subjectively rated as ten grades according to the content and distribution of fat markings.
After the combination of the two evaluation criteria, the final rating standard can be formed, which becomes a kind of recognition of these beef in the market.
There are eight types of such quality grades, namely Excellent, Selectable, Optional, Qualified, Commercial, Usable, Dicing and Canning.
The entire evaluation criteria are extremely complex and subjective, but Xiao Feng has enough confidence in the production of Jinghu Ranch!
When the expert delegation entered the conference room with a large number of samples for testing, and even cooked and tasted the meat, Xiao Feng and the others could only wait patiently outside.
Two hours is actually not a long time, but Xiao Feng feels that today is very slow, he doesn't know how many circles, Ma Wanli finished smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, and the door of the slaughterhouse conference room finally opened.
It's a matter of success or failure!
Although ordinary beef cattle will not make Jinghu Ranch lose money, for Xiao Feng, who is committed to cultivating world-class ingredients, it is tantamount to failure to reach the level of special selection or above!
"Xiao, it's an honor to inform you!" Professor Lille seemed to be able to understand the nervousness and expectation of Xiao Feng and the others, and did not talk too much nonsense, and said with a smile: "After the unanimous approval of our delegation, all the Angus cattle in Jinghu Ranch have reached the excellent level, congratulations!"
Professor Lille had a Texas accent, and many people didn't hear it too clearly, but everyone could hear the word 'p-day me', coupled with Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli's joyful expressions, which immediately made everyone present cheer!
You must know that the subtle differences between the ratings will have a great impact on the selling price of beef cattle, and the beef cattle of Jinghu Ranch have obtained the P-Day ME rating, which means that the price of a 1,000-kilogram beef cattle will not be less than 10,000 US dollars! In the future, as the popularity of Jinghu Ranch continues to increase, this price will further rise, which will be related to the income of most of the people present, how can we not make everyone happy?
Hearing Professor Lille's conclusion, Xiao Feng's heart that had been hanging can finally be put down!
Sure enough, as Xiao Feng expected, the space spiritual spring, the space pasture, the high-quality cattle breeds, and the unique environment of the Jinghu Valley finally cultivated the amazing and superb beef.
However, Xiao Feng believes that these beef should not be just the grade that is currently present, and its bigger surprise should be the perfect taste after careful cooking.
In this regard, Xiao Feng is very experienced, because the various ingredients of the Xiao family farm and the fresh milk from Jinghu Ranch all show this charm!
Now Xiao Feng is looking forward to tasting the wonderful taste of top-notch steak in the evening!rs
