Chapter Eleven: The First Employee

The meat is not watery at all, the firm texture of the beef, and the slightly muttony taste are just right.

But the meat itself is very tender, so you can bite it effortlessly. Once you bite the front teeth, you can bite the beef that enters your mouth along the texture. The feeling of playing.

Then the beef entered the back molars, chewed again, the kind of juicy, but not greasy, combined with the beauty of the spicy black pepper, instantly exploded on the taste buds, filled the entire mouth, let Jiang Hai eat One bite and two bites, after two bites, the next piece.

Yes, that palm-sized steak, Jiang Hai almost eats a piece in two or three bites. It seems rude to eat like this in the upper class, but in the eyes of Robbins, it means that Jiang Hai affirmed his cooking skills , but very happy.

But to be honest, Robbins-Garcia's craftsmanship, huh, can only be described as average.

The beef he cooks may be for the sake of roasting. After all, he knows that Jiang Hai is Chinese, and the Chinese seldom have the habit of eating raw beef, so they are usually five-ripe, at most seven-ripe, but for Jiang Hai What I did was almost fully cooked.

The ratio is a bit worse, coupled with the relatively primitive seasoning, it can only be said that the taste is average.

But the good thing is that his beef is on top. In the United States, meat is very cheap, outrageously cheap, and vegetables are expensive.

After all, he is here to invest in a ranch, so Jiang Hai has a preliminary understanding of the beef grades of American emperors.

Meidi's beef is divided into two rating standards, namely meat quality and age. According to the marble pattern, they divide the beef into eight grades: premium, special selection, optimal, standard, commercial, usable, chopped and canned. , and according to the time of slaughter, it is divided into five grades, abcde, grade a refers to cattle aged from nine months to thirty months, and grade b refers to cattle aged from thirty months to forty-two months , C-grade cattle are from 42 to 72 months old, D-grade cattle are from 72 to 96 months old, and e-grade cattle are over 96 months old, basically in supermarkets The good beef seen in it is all grade A.

No one will keep cattle for more than 30 months, unless the bull market is bad this year and they are not sold.

However, since the US emperor began to provide beef to China and Asian markets such as Korea and island countries, it has been a long time since the depressing of the stock has happened. At most, it is just depressing the price.

The beef that Jiang Hai eats now is standard beef, premium, and specially selected beef, which are not provided to supermarkets or shopping malls. They only have their own specialty stores, or they only provide them to high-end western restaurants. .

The beef that can be bought in supermarkets is only the best, but the price of the best is also the most expensive.

A pound (nine taels) of premium beef costs about fifty dollars, which is indeed too expensive.

But under the optimal conditions, the prices of standard, commercial and usable beef are much cheaper.

The price of standard beef is less than 8 US dollars per pound, the commercial one is about 5 US dollars, and the usable 3 US dollars. The chopped and canned beef cannot be used directly, and the chopped beef can be sold for a piece of meat. The stuffing is about a dollar per kilogram. In fact, the canned beef that is finally made, except for the special supply to the army, is basically not eaten by civilians in the United States.

They all buy this kind of canned food to feed their pet dogs and so on. One kilogram of canned food is sold for 30 to 50 cents when the supermarket is discounted. When it is the most expensive, it is about 1 dollar.

It can be said that eating beef in the United States is extremely cheap. Now the beef that Jiang Hai eats is standard beef, which is much more delicious than the beef sold in China. The slaughter rate of beef in China is less than 50%, while the slaughter rate of these beef abroad is more than 80%, which is 30% lower, which is really a lot worse.

So in China, this level of beef is basically for those steak meals. You can go to the supermarket to buy beef and the most tender cucumber strips. In the United States, it is basically commercial grade. A little worse, such as upper brain, or beef brisket, are basically usable grades. The cost of living in Boston is quite high, but usable grade beef, converted into soft sister coins, is less than a catty Twenty yuan, but in China, it can be sold for more than forty.

But if the standard-grade beef bought for more than 40 or 50 yuan in China is sold for 200 or 300 yuan in domestic steak restaurants, this is the gap. Beef of 200 or 300 yuan, As long as it is cooked and there is no strange smell, it is naturally delicious, and the most important thing is that the meat is not watered, so the quality of the meat is quite good.

As for the fish on the other side, Jiang Hai tasted it, and it was also very delicious, and what surprised him the most was that the fish was actually sweet.

This is Atlantic cod, which can be regarded as one of the economic fish species in the Atlantic Ocean. There used to be plenty here. If we want to raise fish in the future, this kind of fish is also indispensable. Seeing Jiang Hai's satisfied eyes, Robbins-Garcia Said with a smile on his face.

Well, this kind of fish is not bad. If it is sold in China, it will be very popular. Nodding his head, Jiang Hai said seriously.

The taste of this fish is very good, very thin, probably because it is a cold-water fish, the meat is sweet, and there are no spines. After Jiang Hai took a bite, he fell in love with this taste. The quality of fish and cattle is estimated to be better. Thinking of this, he feels that he may be able to recover his capital in less than ten years, maybe.

Hehe, it depends on you, the boss. We don't have such a way. Basically, we raise cattle and fish and sell them directly to the Animal Husbandry Association. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins-Garcia lightly He smiled and said to him.

In the United States, selling cattle and fish does not have to be like domestic people, looking for a home everywhere. Instead, it is similar to domestic grain. When the harvest is harvested, people from the country will come down to collect it. To these people, it can also be sold to some private companies, but the price offered by the private companies will not be much higher than that of the state, and sometimes it is not guaranteed.

So basically, these fish farmers and herders will sell these production materials to the country, and the country will classify them after receiving them uniformly, and then sell them according to uniform standards, so as not to make the price of animal husbandry too high .

In the United States, corn, wheat, beef, mutton, fish, and other daily necessities are basically priced uniformly by the United States.

The situation in different places is different, and the price fluctuates slightly, but it is only a slight fluctuation.

As for vegetables that cannot be transported long distances, they are very expensive in the United States. A good lettuce is even more expensive than standard-grade beef. I guess this is also difficult for people to understand, but if you want to see results Well, selling vegetables is indeed a rare and good way. For example, the vegetables that Jiang Hai eats are all grown by Rossbin himself. He is not willing to go out to buy vegetables.

The two were eating while talking, and before they knew it, almost all the food on the table had been swept away.

Jiang Hai also patted his stomach. To be honest, eating here is just one word, cool!

Seeing Jiang Hai's satisfied look, Robbins hesitated for a moment, then asked Jiang Hai:

Well, Mr. Jiang, I would venture to ask, what are your plans after buying this place?

After the words fell, Robbins kept looking at Jiang Hai quietly, for fear of hearing something different from what he imagined.

I guess it will remain the same. This large pasture can be used to raise cattle and sheep, and the fishing ground over there can also be used to raise fish, as well as red wine. You can also try brewing it. Hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai thought for a while and said.

Your choice is very wise. The soil quality of the pasture here is very good, which is very suitable for raising cattle. Moreover, the cowsheds here are all reinforced concrete and very modern. They were left by the previous rancher. It needs to be rebuilt, and it only needs a small renovation. As for lawn mowers and the like, they are also available here, and the things are very complete. There is also the seaside. The pier is a gravity pier, extending a hundred miles into the sea Fifty meters, it can dock thousand-ton fishing boats or freighters, at least for a few decades, there is no need to renovate... Seeing that Jiang Hai really wants to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, Robbins-Garcia here immediately Speaking of it, Jiang Hai also nodded secretly when he heard his words. Originally, even if he didn't want to, he had to develop these things.

What's more, is he still willing to do this now? So the development of these is already an inevitable trend.

Then, the development of these needs to employ people. I don't know, Mr. Jiang, can I stay? After introducing the advantages here, Robbins' words changed, and he looked at Jiang Hai cautiously and said.

You? Hearing his words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help smiling. It seemed that this was 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 in this business for twenty years now, as long as you believe in me, I will definitely be your right-hand man. Looking at Jiang Hai, Robbins began to promote himself, saying that the people in the United States are dull , straightforward, it looks like nonsense, isn't this quite scheming?

Hearing Robbins' words, although Jiang Hai felt funny in his heart, he was thinking in his mind that what he said about Robbins-Garcia was not wrong, and he really wanted to find some people to help him, whether it was Cowboys, or fishermen, or winemakers, he is looking for them all. He doesn’t know whether he will be deceived or not, but Robbins can gain the trust of Phillips and let him manage them in these years. Here, it should be no problem to prove the character of this person.

Strength can be seen slowly in the future, but character is the most important thing. Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but nodded.

It's not a big problem, what's your current salary?
