Chapter 297: Green Cow
In fact, counting the new varieties of grapes that he took out before, Li Anran chose a total of four species as the fist products of Yingzhou Island. As for why more common species such as rice, wheat, and broilers were not selected, there is also a reason.
In Lee's view, more common species such as rice, flour, chicken, and eggs do occupy a large share of the trade market. But in order to open up the situation, I need to go to the high-end market, so I naturally can't choose this.
In fact, among the thoroughbred horse racing, top beef cattle and cigar tobacco, the only one that can really be operated on a large scale is the top beef cattle, and it is also chosen to seize the market of Japanese Wagyu, which is known as the best beef in the world.
As for cigar tobacco, although it can also be cultivated on a large scale, in terms of marketing and acceptance, it is far less than that of top beef cattle. After all, whether the beef is good or not depends on the bloodline, and then the quality of the meat itself is clear at a glance.
And tobacco is a thing, even a cigar, an alternative cigarette made directly from tobacco leaves, which is a commodity that is difficult to reconcile. Not to mention seizing the Cuban cigar market, if you want to be truly accepted by consumers, you need to operate well.
In terms of thoroughbred horse racing, it is entirely Li Anran's personal interest. At the beginning, I also rode some good horses of that era in Datang, although the speed is far less fast than the telepathy and the ability to fly a helicopter, but there is an irreplaceable speed and passion.
The most important thing is that horse racing has formed a complete industrial chain in modern time and space. From the breeding and training of horses to participating in competitions. Add to that the betting on horses and the sale of horses, and so on, the profits that can be brought are huge.
According to Li Anran's idea, there was no more at all at the beginning. You just need to breed one or two absolutely good horses, and then go to the races and get good results, and then it will be too easy to make money, and it is better than selling rice.
Of course, Li Anran also knows that although the unit price of rice is far less high than that of pure-blooded horse racing, the huge market still represents extremely high profits. The reason why I didn't choose this is because it needs to be different.
And. Li Anran has no real intention of giving up rice, flour, corn, soybeans and other agricultural products that are indispensable for the survival of the entire human race. Merely. It's just a matter of putting it aside for the time being, and it's not too late to do it when the time is ripe.
Considering the cultivation of top beef, the scale of Island No. 2 alone will be greatly affected. In addition, he also bought a ranch with a very large area in Lewistown, Montana, and if he didn't make good use of it, it was called a tyrannical thing.
And the beef cattle cultivated by Li Anran. There is not just one variety. Instead, it makes use of the four best beef cattle in the world today. A variety of varieties that have been bred after crossbreeding. Even these four top beef cattle have been "copycated".
These four types of beef cattle are the Japanese Kobe cattle, the Italian Chi'an Nina cattle commonly known as the quinine cattle, the French Charolais cattle, and the Australian grain-fed Angus cattle, which is not far from the Japanese Kobe cattle.
Arguably. With these four types of beef cattle in hand, even if Li Anran does not breed new breeds, it is enough to make a lot of profits in the beef market just by relying on "copycats" to produce pure-blooded beef cattle with better quality.
The reason why Li Anran made up his mind to breed new breeds of beef cattle was not only because he wanted to create a completely own breed to break the monopoly, but also because he accidentally made an "auspicious" when he tried to breed beef cattle before.
It's also a coincidence, after Hua Da you also got the four top beef cattle in the world, Li Anran cultivated them in the Datang space. The "side effects" of time travel are often used to improve and optimize the female and male parents of beef cattle.
After these female and male parents have grown to the stage where they can reproduce offspring, they can be crossed to obtain new varieties. As a result, among the many crossbred mixed-breed beef cattle, a very special breed was created, the green cattle.
The green cow is a type of cow that often appears in Taoism or myths and legends. The most famous should be the one under the throne of the Taishang Laojun. In Journey to the West, this has made a lot of limelight and has become one of the few monsters who can fight with Monkey King.
Of course, the youth cultivated by Li Anran naturally cannot really be the kind in myths and legends. In an ordinary meat year, the only difference between this type of beef cattle and other beef cattle is that the skin color of this kind of cattle is actually blue.
Li Anran thought about what could be used to hybridize this kind of cyan beef cattle, and even asked experts, but he only came up with some of them, which may be caused by a mutation with a very low probability, and it has nothing to do with mythological novels.
If this kind of green cow is only abnormal in color, it will be forgotten, after all, if it is just like this, even if it does have a lot of gimmicks, but the benefits are limited. But in fact, the quality of this green cow is so good that even experts are surprised.
Whether it is the most famous Japanese Kobe cattle and Angus cattle, or the relatively less famous Italian Chiannina cattle, commonly known as quinine cattle, and French Charolais cattle, there are already strict grading standards.
As a representative of high-end beef, having a beautiful marbling pattern has become a simple identification condition. And the beef obtained by this green cow after slaughtering, even the most ordinary parts, has a certain degree of marbling.
Don't think that this is nothing, but you must know that a beef cow weighs about half a ton to a ton. But it can really be eaten as a steak, and it is considered to be the peak year, but there are only those parts in common, and the so-called marbling is like this.
Don't look at the pattern formed by the evenly distributed fat on the other party's body when you eat sirloin steak, but in the cow from this steak, I dare not say that there is no such effect, but it is definitely very rare.
But even the most ordinary parts of the meat of this green cow are more or less marbled with the characteristics of marbling. The most important thing is that this beef is not only beautiful, but also definitely excellent in terms of nutrition and taste.
What makes Li Anran happiest is that he doesn't know if this mutation of Lu Dao is due to the "side effects" brought about by time and space travel, and it is not just a flash in the pan in evolutionary history. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Anran to kill cattle to verify it.
After initially solving the breeding problem of green cattle, Li Anran set his sights on the feed of beef cattle. It is important to know that the "side effects" of time travel are not static, as long as the time travel is interrupted, the quality of beef cattle will decline.
Anyway, after Li Anran spent a lot of time as an expert in beef cattle breeding, and took this thing with him without any trouble, as well as various other species that needed to be improved and optimized, the breed of this green cow has stabilized.
The only thing that made Li Anran a little dissatisfied was that the population of these green cattle was still too small. If it is listed at this time, although it will definitely cause a sensation, but without the premise of a perfect strategy, the sensation will definitely not be perfect.
In order to be able to carry forward the new breed of beef cattle in his own hands, it is best to kick the Japanese Kobe cattle off the altar in one fell swoop, Li Anran also had to act as a freight man and run to Lewis Gory, Montana.
Considering that the telekinesis ability was too buggy, Li Anran didn't dare to bring the cow over directly. Instead, after deliberately playing outside for a few days, all the green cattle bred in Datang time and space were packed and then brought directly to the ranch.
Because the breeding time is still too short, even if the growth rate and reproductive efficiency of this kind of green cattle are much higher than that of ordinary breeds, the number of green cattle that Li Anran can take out is limited. However, with pastures, it is believed that expanding the population is not a problem.
Compared to the hassle of beef cattle, thoroughbred horse racing and cigar tobacco are significantly simpler.
Thoroughbred racing horses are currently only purchasing two horses from outside, and then getting them to the Datang time and space and this world's bloody BMW first-class horses for breeding. But even so, with these two racing horses alone, Li Anran spent a lot of money.
If it weren't for the new breed of pasture and some crops that could be used as food for horses, which had already been planted on a large scale, the cost of breeding these two thoroughbred racehorses alone would be so high that ordinary people would not be able to accept such an exaggeration.
