Volume 4 Chapter 44 Waste Utilization Can Be Charity
Offal? Tia didn't expect that the business that Sister Pang thought of would be this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course she knows about offal, and she eats it often. There is a grocery shop just outside the school gate, and she and her classmates go to eat a little from time to time: "The offal is really delicious, but I heard that you need a recipe to make it well." ”
As she spoke, she saw Sister Pang look at Li Sheng twice.
I only heard Sister Pang say: "Actually, I have found a good formula." It was donated by an old man. It's just that now we can't find haggis that is cheap enough. "Cattle slaughterhouses don't exist everywhere.
She blinked, and finally understood Sister Pang's purpose. However, although she understood that Sister Pang seemed to be using her, she didn't seem to be angry. On the contrary, after understanding Sister Pang's thoughts, she approached Li Sheng with a smile and said, "Li, there are so many cattle slaughtered every day in Brazil, there will definitely be a lot of cattle into the water." ”
Offal is actually a cow in the water. And that thing is almost no one eats in a foreign country. That thing, maybe only Dahua foodies can understand the deliciousness of it. But in fact, most of the offal sold in many grocery stores is beef lungs and small intestines.
Although Li Sheng understood what Sister Pang meant by saying this in front of him just now. But he pretended not to hear them. This will make Tia clear, and if he doesn't respond, this girl may sulk with him.
If you want to implement the offal project mentioned by Sister Pang, it is not without feasibility. And there is no one in Brazil who specializes in handling cattle from Brazil, and if you want to transport them back to China, not only does the Brazilian side need an extra process, but also the import procedures are not easy to obtain. That's a lot of bacteria.
So he said, "It's too much trouble to get the oxen back into the water." Why don't you let them make brisket? Brisket is not very popular in Western countries, and many are treated cheaply as offcuts to hamburger makers. In addition, some beef tendons and beef leg bones are easier to import here. ”
When Sister Pang heard him, she smiled and said, "That's because I didn't think about it." Li Sheng, what you said is indeed easier to operate, and it gives those beneficiaries more choices. ”
Li Sheng touched his nose and said, "I will let the Brazilian side deal with the hygiene problem as much as possible." However, the import procedures need to be handled by Sister Pang. ”
Although Sister Pang hopes that Li Sheng can exert more strength, but now that he has said so, she can't get an inch. She nodded and said, "I'll figure it out." ”
Today, the beef on Brazilian farms is mainly exported as boneless meat, mostly lean meat, and things like the brisket are sold as scraps for minced meat or burgers. If you want to import beef bones, one way is to import some carcass that has not been cut, or directly import beef bones. The latter is a bit trickier. And the former cannot be too numerous.
Li Sheng saw Tia biting her lip gently, she often had such a little habit when she was thinking about things. He thought that this girl was thinking about how to convince himself to help Sister Pang. He asked, "What are you thinking?"
Tia looked at him and said, "I think, if the cow goes into the water and what you just said, if it can be processed into semi-finished products, I think it will be easier to export." Nowadays, many people do not have access to meat, but a lot of things are wasted. ”
When Li Sheng heard this, he felt that it was not impossible. It's just a bit of a hassle. The disposal of animal sewerage is troublesome. But if beef bones are processed, they can be exported from raw materials to food, as Tia said.
"There is no way to mechanize the cattle now, but only to treat it manually, and it is very troublesome to deal with. "Now Amazon Animal Husbandry Company only handles a small part of the tripe, which is what Li Sheng has to do.
When Tia heard him say that, she felt that it was indeed a bit difficult to do. All manual production, that means high costs. She can't let Li Sheng do a loss-making business in order to help others.
Sister Pang looked at the expressions of the two, worried that they would make an awkward mess because of her arrival, so she couldn't help but say: "Li Sheng, since it is more troublesome to import cattle, then I will contact some slaughterhouses in China." However, I found a recipe that can be used not only for offal, but also for soups such as brisket. I know you like cooking, do you want this recipe?"
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Of course." ”
Sister Pang discussed with him some things about imported beef bones and brisket. She came to Li Sheng mainly because she thought that those things were relatively cheap in Brazil, while in China, beef tube bones and beef brisket were more popular in China. These things are quite expensive. In Brazil, at most, that stuff is used as feed.
Li Sheng also knew that there was actually no profit from that thing, but he also felt that as long as he didn't lose money, he could do it.
After Sister Pang left, the two went out shopping. However, when visiting the mall, Tia seemed a little absent-minded.
Li Sheng saw her like this, so he found a cold drink shop and sat down. After ordering something, he asked Tia, "Are you still thinking about what Sister Pang just said?"
Tia nodded and said, "I wonder if those cows could be sold in Brazil after being processed?"
Li Sheng said with a smile: "Brazilians can't finish their beef, how can they eat those things." "In fact, white people rarely eat any animal offal. Of course, foie gras is the exception.
Tia smiled and said, "I know that too. But in fact, the offal tastes very good. I wonder if Brazilians are very open about food culture, and maybe they can accept it. ”
Li Sheng thought that the eating habits of Brazilians are indeed relatively open. Especially the underclass.
He knew she had a message to follow, and asked, "And then?"
"There are a lot of poor people in Brazil, it's not that they don't want to work, but they don't have the opportunity to work. Can we hire them to be the workers who handle the cattle into the water? The pay is a little lower, but I think they are still willing. In doing so, it not only helped the poor in Brazil, but also helped the families of children with leukemia in China. The cattle will not be wasted. ”
Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Your idea is very good, I'll let people study it." If we don't lose money, we do it. "At the end of the year, Amazon Livestock slaughters nearly 20 million head of cattle, and more than 70 million head a year in Brazil. If we could collect these cattle and process them, from processing, processing, transportation to sales, how could we employ 100,000 workers?
He didn't want to make money in this area, but it added up, and he could do it as a kind of charity. He was planning to make a name for himself with a charity fund in Brazil, which could be combined with that.
Set up a company that is linked to a charitable foundation, employs only the poor, and invests it in the fund if it makes a profit. If he succeeds, the benefits he can get are actually very large.
Tia knew that Li Sheng never said empty words, and listening to him say that, she knew that if the results of the investigation were indeed feasible, he would definitely do it. If it is not feasible, she also does not want Li Sheng to specialize in loss-making business. So she let go of the matter: "Then let's wait and go over there." I need to buy some small clothes. The little clothes she said weren't for children, they were for the underwear.
The two of them walked around for most of the day, and when they got home, Tia also felt tired. Li Sheng asked her to take a break, and he called Fernando and told him that he was going to get the cows into the water.
When Fernando heard Li Sheng's request, he didn't understand it very well. Before, Li Sheng asked the tripe of a slaughterhouse under the animal husbandry company to also be processed, and at that time he just didn't understand it very well. In the eyes of Westerners, animal entrails are not a good thing.
And now Li Sheng actually asked for the cow to go into the water, and those things seemed to him to be very unhygienic. Therefore, it is usually sold directly to feed companies as feed raw materials. Now Li Sheng wants it, and he can't refuse, but he still says: "Most of the cattle bones and most of the leftovers in the slaughterhouse have signed supply contracts with the feed company." It won't expire until next year. ”
When Li Sheng heard this, he also knew that this matter could not be forced. However, he didn't mean that it would be spread out all at once, he thought for a moment and said, "Can you even it out a little bit and let me operate." If it works, sign a contract with me next year. The price could be a little higher than what it is now. ”
Fernando was not embarrassed this time, saying: "Of course it is no problem. I think I should be able to supply you with 5,000 head of cattle scraps a day. And if you need more, I think other companies' slaughterhouses can supply you as well. ”
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being." That's all for now. Think of it as an experiment. In the beginning, he needed to do research, which was just the right amount to collect the necessary data.
Then, Li Sheng made another phone call to Qiu Desheng and said about it: "You arrange a team to be responsible for this matter." ”
Qiu Desheng said, "Okay. I'll arrange it. "He's going to have nothing particularly important to do. He thought carefully about the project that Li Sheng explained this time, and he felt that although it was a charity project, it still needed to be profitable. Otherwise, charity would have become a source of water -- he did not know that Li Sheng was planning to invest in the establishment of a charitable fund.
He is very knowledgeable about the Chinese diet. Offal can only be considered a snack. But there are some things that can be put on the table. For example, beef brisket, beef tendon and tripe. These things are actually very popular in China.
Now Li Sheng plans to make mature food, and he feels that he can't generalize. Things like the above can be completely processed to meet the health standards, and then packaged and sold in China, there is still a certain profit. As for offal, it can indeed be used as a mature food. In addition, beef bone broth is still very beneficial for children and the elderly, and it is much better than those calcium milk powder. It's just beef bone broth, it's too troublesome to boil. Beef bones can also be boiled into soup and packaged for sale. If there is a ready-made beef bone soup that can be sold and eaten after heating, there should be a certain market potential in China. (To be continued.) )
