MTL - My Ranch-Chapter 11 : The first employee
The meat is not even watery, the firm taste of the beef, and the slightly astringent taste is just right.
But the meat itself is particularly tender, so that you can bite it completely effortlessly. With the bite of the front teeth, you can bite the beef into the mouth, do not stick the teeth, don't stick the teeth, but have a kind of Q. The feeling of playing.
Then the beef enters the back molars, and then chews, the juicy, but not greasy, with the beauty of black pepper and spicy taste, instantly bursting on the taste buds, flooding the entire mouth, let Jiang Hai eat I thought about two, and I ate two.
Yes, the slap-sized steak, Jiang Hai is almost two or three. It seems that it is very rude to eat in the upper class. But in Robbins, it is Jiang Hai’s affirmation of his cooking. But very happy.
But to be honest, Robbins-Garcia's craftsmanship, huh, can only be described in general.
The beef he made may be in pursuit of roasting. After all, he knows that Jiang Hai is Chinese, and Chinese people rarely have the habit of eating raw beef, so they usually have five matures and at most seven matures, but give Jiang Hai What you do is almost all-cooked.
In the ratio is a little worse, plus the more original seasoning, can only be said to taste.
But fortunately, he has the beef on top. In the US, the meat is very cheap, cheap and horrible, and vegetables are expensive.
After all, I have to come here to invest in the ranch, so Jiang Hai has a preliminary understanding of the US beef grade.
Meidi's beef is divided into two rating standards, namely meat quality and age. According to the marble line, they divide the beef into excellent grades, selected, preferred, standard, commercial, available, chopped and canned. According to the time of slaughter, it is divided into five grades of ABCDE. Grade A refers to cattle of nine months to thirty months, and grade B is cattle of thirty months to forty-two months. Class C is forty-two months to seventy-two months of cattle, class D is for cattle from seventy-two months to ninety-six months, and class for sixty-six months is class E, basically in supermarkets. The good beef seen inside is A grade.
No one will raise cattle for more than 30 months, unless this year's bull market is not good and not sold.
However, since the US emperor began to provide Chinese beef to the Asian market such as Korea and the island country, the amount of barn has not happened for a long time. At most, the price has been suppressed.
The beef that Jiang Hai eats now is standard beef. It is a special type of beef. It is not for supermarkets or shopping malls. They only have their own specialty stores, or they only provide them to the finest Western restaurants. .
The best beef that can be bought in a supermarket is preferred, but the preferred price is also the most expensive.
One pound (nine two) of the preferred beef, which is about to sell for fifty dollars, is indeed too expensive.
But under the circumstance, the price of standard, commercial, and available three kinds of beef is much cheaper.
Standard beef, the price of a pound is less than eight US dollars, the commercial is about five US dollars, the available three US knife, chopped and canned beef can not be used directly, chopped can also sell a meat Stuffed, almost a kilogram a knife or so, and finally the canned beef, in fact, the cans made, in addition to the special supply to the army, basically the American civilians do not eat.
They all buy such cans to feed pets and dogs in the house. One kilogram of canned food, if the supermarket is discounted, it is sold for thirty to fifty cents. The most expensive time is about a knife.
It can be said that it is extremely cheap to eat beef in the US, and now the beef that Jiang Hai eats is the standard beef, which is much more delicious than the domestic beef. This is not the case of Jiang Haichong, but mainly domestic. The beef slaughter rate is less than 50%, and the slaughter rate of these foreign beef is more than 80%, which is 30% worse. It is really a lot worse.
Therefore, in the country, this level of beef is basically dedicated to the steaks, and everyone can go to the supermarket to buy the beef, the most tender cucumber strips, in the morning of the US Emperor is basically commercial grade, Something worse, like the upper brain, or the calf, basically the available level, the cost of living on the Boston side is quite high, but the available grade of beef, converted into soft sister coins, not a pound Twenty dollars, but in China, they have to sell for more than forty.
However, if the standard grade beef bought in China for more than 40 yuan and 50 yuan is sold in the domestic steak restaurant, it will be sold to two or three hundred. This is the gap, two or three hundred dollars of beef. As long as you are cooked, there is no strange smell, it is naturally very delicious, and the most important thing is that the meat is not watered, the meat is quite good.
On the other side of the fish, Jiang Hai tasted it, and it was especially delicious. What surprised him the most was that the fish was sweet.
"This is Atlantic salmon. It is one of the economic fish species in the Atlantic. What used to be here is that if we want to raise fish in the future, this fish is also essential." Seeing the satisfied eyes of Jiang Hai, Robbins-Garcia Said with a smile.
"Well, this kind of fish is good. If you sell it to China, it must be very popular." Nodded, Jiang Hai said with a serious face.
The fish tastes very good, very fine, probably because it is a cold-water fish relationship, the meat is sweet, and there is no thorn. After Jiang Hai took a sip, he fell in love with this taste, thinking about his own skills. Fish, raising cattle, the estimated quality will be better, think of this, he feels that he may be able to recover the cost in less than ten years, maybe.
"Oh, this depends on the boss. We don't have such a path. Basically, we raise cattle and raise fish, which are sold directly to the Animal Husbandry Association." Hearing the words of Jiang Hai, Robbins-Garcia Light Smiled and said to him.
In the United States, selling cattle, selling fish, do not have to be like domestic people, looking for the next place everywhere, but it is similar to the domestic food, when the harvest, there are people from the country to collect, of course, not to sell These people can also be sold to some private companies, but the price of private enterprises will not be much higher than the country, and sometimes it is not guaranteed.
So basically, these fish farming and grazing will sell these production materials to the country, and after the national unified collection, they will be classified and then sold according to the unified standards, so that the animal husbandry price will not be too high. .
In the United States, corn, wheat, beef, lamb, fish and the like, living materials, are basically unified by the US emperor.
The situation varies from place to place, and the price is slightly floating, but it is only a slight float.
As for vegetables that cannot be transported over long distances, the price is very expensive in the US, and a good lettuce is even more expensive than the standard beef. It is estimated that this is hard to understand, but if you want to be effective, Selling vegetables is indeed a rare and good way. For example, the vegetables that Jiang Hai eats now are all grown by Rosbin himself. He can't help but buy food.
The two of them spoke while eating, and unconsciously, the food on the table had been swept away.
Jiang Hai also patted his belly. To be honest, eating here is a word, cool!
Looking at Jiang Hai's satisfaction, Robbins hesitated, and asked to ask Jiang Hai:
"That, Mr. Jiang, I take the liberty to ask, after you bought this place, what are your plans?"
When the voice fell, Robbins had been quietly watching Jiang Hai, for fear of hearing something different from his own imagination.
"It is estimated that it will remain as it is. This large piece of grassland can be used to raise cattle, sheep, fish farms there, fish, and red wine. You can also try to brew it." Hearing Robbins, Jiang Hai thought for a moment.
"Your choice is very sensible. The pastures here are very good, very suitable for breeding cattle, and the cowshed here is reinforced concrete, very modern, was left by the former rancher, not at all Need to rebuild, just need a little renovation, you can, as for lawn mowers, there are also here, things are very complete. There is the seaside, the pier is a gravity dock, extending to the sea a hundred 50 meters, you can dock thousands of tons of fishing boats or freighters, at least for decades, there is no need to renovate..." Seeing Jiang Hai really want to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, here Robbins-Garcia immediately Say it, and when he heard him, Jiang Hai also nodded secretly, even if he did not want him to develop these.
What's more, he is still willing to do this now? Therefore, developing these is already an inevitable trend.
"Then, the development of these is the need to use people, do not know, Mr. Jiang, can I stay?" After introducing the advantages here, Robbins's words turned, and some looked carefully at Jiang Hai.
"You?" Hearing him, Jiang Hai took a moment, then could not help but smile, it seems that this is the biggest purpose of this person.
"Mr. Jiang, I am a senior cowboy. In the Boston area, my level is obvious to all. I have won the Cowboy Awards in Massachusetts, Maine, and Texas. I grew up. I have been doing this for 20 years now. As long as you believe in me, I will definitely be your right hand." Looking at Jiang Hai, Robbins began to sell himself, saying that the people of the United States are arrogant. Straight, it seems to be ridiculous, isn't this also quite a good idea?
When I heard Robbins’s words, Jiang Hai felt funny in his heart, but he was thinking about it. Regarding Robbins-Garcia, he said nothing wrong. He really wanted to find some people to help, no matter Cowboys, or fishermen, or winemakers, he is looking for, he is not blinded, he is not clear, and Robbins can get the trust of Phillips, let him administer in these years Here, there should be no problem in proving the character of this person.
Strength, you can look slowly in the future, but the character, this is the most important, think of this, Jiang Hai could not help but nod.
"The problem is not big. What is your current salary?"
