Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Others couldn't help but smile when they heard the words. Chen Xi's loss, that is, listen to it, is the same as the amount reported by Chen Xi, just take a look and listen. Whoever believes it may have something wrong with their brains. Not doing accounts!

"The so-called loss means that the money that can be earned is not earned." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think is the most valuable thing about a sheep?"

"Of course it's meat." Jiang Gong threw the last piece of milk skin into his mouth, and answered Chen Xi's question casually, and the others also relatively agreed with Jiang Gong's answer.

"Actually, the answer is not meat." Chen Xi pouted and said.

It seems that mutton is the most profitable business. In fact, if you raise sheep, the most profitable business is not mutton, but goat milk and wool. By the way, it is precisely because of this demand that sheep are divided into two categories: dairy sheep and sheep. , the former mainly produces milk, and the latter mainly produces hair.

Of course, the animal husbandry industry in the Han Dynasty has not yet obtained such a clear classification, but even so, the output of dairy products will not be smaller than the output of selling meat. After all, the mainstream in the Central Plains is goats, although it is far inferior Dairy goats of later generations, but this thing is the same.

Therefore, in terms of milk production, the sheep raised in the Han Dynasty are very advantageous, but because there is no way to process goat milk before, Chen Xi can only reluctantly give up this industry.

After all, pure milk without any additives can only be stored for about one day if it is below 4c. Even if it is made into fresh cheese, the shelf life will not exceed seven days.

So Chen Xi can only watch helplessly as an industry with a net profit of more than three billion yuan is wasted. After all, with the current waste logistics industry, it is absolutely impossible to mass-produce fresh cheese from the North within seven days. Sent to Chang'an.

The milk produced by a goat in a year can even be greater than the money sold for meat. This is because the goats in the Han Dynasty are not really high-quality dairy goats. The real high-quality dairy goats can produce fifteen times more than themselves in a year Bodyweight milk, kill sheep to eat meat? Why bother! Is it bad to sell milk?

That's why Chen Xi went to Liu Yu to introduce a group of old Karasuma herdsmen to do research on cheese. It was really very profitable.

If it wasn't for Chen Xi who really didn't know how to make cheese, Chen Xi would know how to make cheese by himself.

Think about it, there are 10 million sheep in northern Xinjiang. According to the normal state of later generations of dairy goats, they can produce a thousand catties of milk a year. At present, all the sheep in the Han Dynasty are garbage, so there is no need to separate males and females. One hundred catties are produced, and then made into cheese at a ratio of ten to one, which is equivalent to 100 million catties of cheese.

Chen Xi is based on the price of the stall, and a catty is calculated at ten cents, which is also one billion yuan.

In fact, on the one hand, if a sheep only produces one hundred catties of milk a year, it is better to kill the sheep and eat the meat; One catty, after having this thing, the variety of food can be increased a lot.

So from a certain point of view, this thing has a lot of uses in the food industry, and if you eat this kind of thing, as long as it is delicious, you really don't have to worry about selling it.

So at that time, Chen Xi estimated that if he just messed around like this, his annual net profit would be about 3 billion yuan. Of course, the most important thing is that this industry also requires a lot of manpower, and Chen Xi's favorite is this kind of industry that requires a lot of manpower. .

Let the people have jobs as much as possible. As long as there are jobs, the society will be stable.

"Actually, if the sheep we raise in northern Xinjiang are aimed at eating meat, it would be too bad." Chen Xi shrugged and said, "The output of wool spinning is almost the same as the output of meat, especially After the new breed of sheep introduced from Rome, if they are raised in separate groups, the wool spinning output of those mouflon sheep is definitely greater than the meat they eat.”

"This kind of thing still depends on the cultivation of the population after all." After doing the controlled experiment, Jiang Qi, who hurried over after learning that Liu Bei and others had arrived, changed his clothes and rushed over when he heard Chen Xi discussing this issue, he accepted it One sentence.

Jiang Qi has this understanding of population domestication and cultivation. After all, when he was raising bees, he had done population optimization and differentiation breeding. He also introduced this concept and tried it when raising sheep, and the effect was not bad. However, due to raising too many, there will always be some other species mixed into the main force, and Jiang Qi has no good way to do this.

The head sheep can manage the flock, but the scale that the head sheep can manage is also limited. With the scale of a large ranch, two or five young sheep will even jump over their own fences and go to the sheep of other breeds next door to make a living.

"Boss Jiang, I'm sorry to trouble you." Chen Xi saluted Jiang Qi slightly, and said in other people's mouths, and even in Chen Xi's mouth, that the Northland Ranch is one of the largest ranches in the north. In fact, there are accurate data Chen Xi knew that this ranch was really the biggest.

Jiang Qi's management level is a bit hard to describe, but his technical ability is indeed very strong. In fact, as a guy who has made history by relying on beekeeping and animal husbandry, his strength is not outrageous.

"Where is it?" Jiang Qi touched his beard, smiled back and saluted, and then saluted to the group of people one by one.

Jiang Qi is interested in being an official, but unlike some official fans, this guy knows that he is not this kind of material. As a nominal steward like now, he only needs to do what he likes to do, and proposes Opinions, everyone will listen, and that's enough.

Therefore, Jiang Qi has always been very satisfied with Chen Xi's arrangement. He likes this kind of life very much, especially when he wants to study population optimization, he can really invest a lot of manpower and material resources in this kind of research. Let him study the same flock of sheep.

"Lieutenant Jiang Du, go to the wild place in the northwest and bring a batch of deer." Jiang Qi seemed in a good mood, and turned his head to greet Jiang Gong.

Jiang Gong was overjoyed when he heard the words. He did harm to Jiang Qi's deer a lot. After all, compared to sheep, deer can be said to be a great supplement. Earlier, I didn't know that those big-horned deer and red deer were raised by Jiang Qi. Jiang Gong went to catch deer every now and then.

Later, I learned that it was raised by Jiang Qi, so I was embarrassed to catch it often. I went to bring a deer back in ten days and a half month, but Jiang Qi would not be able to tell it. After all, the deer over there are also free-range. Although I didn't eat less of Jiang Qi's silage, it wasn't really domesticated.

"Everyone come with me." Jiang Qi made a gesture of invitation, and then said while leading the way, "The food here is quite different from that in the south, and it is quite rough. I hope you nobles will not blame you."

Chen Xi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, he had already thought of what Jiang Qi meant by roughness, maybe it wasn't roasted whole cows, roasted whole lambs, something that is impossible to find in the south.

"Is the way of eating very rough?" Han Xin asked curiously. Along the way, the big ranch gave Han Xin not the prosperity of Chang'an, but a different kind of prosperity, which made Han Xin quite fond of Jiang Qi's so-called roughness. A little curious.

"Yes, because it's really a coincidence that the nobles came here. Some food here just came out of the oven. Speaking of which, after several years of experiments, the level of roasting in this aspect has gone far beyond Chang'an." Jiang Qi Said confidently.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chen Xi, because Chen Xi was the one who was most qualified to represent the highest level of cooking in Chang'an. After all, let's put aside whether he can cook. Chen Xi really knows how to eat, and he is especially good at eating. .

Chen Xi nodded silently. Those cooks in their family, with small arms and legs, can't cook this level of dishes. He knows what Jiang Qi's so-called roasting is with his feet. It's either roasting a camel or roasting a whole cow. This kind of stuff, at least Chen Xi's backyard can't do it.

In fact, not to mention Chen Xi's backyard, even Liu Tong would not know how to do this kind of stuff, it's all a matter of understanding and geography.

"Then I'm going to have a taste of it." Liu Tong is also very interested. Not to mention being invincible all over the world, the eunuchs under her family's young mansion are at least equal to Chen Xi's family cook. I don't want to think that there are still The dishes beyond the production scope of Chen Xi's backyard are not to be missed.

"Cow or camel?" Chen Xi asked Jiang Qi in a low voice as he walked in.

"Niu, we can't make camels right now." Jiang Qi didn't have any doubts about Chen Xi guessing what they were eating here.

In fact, Jiang Qi also knows that his family's Beidi ranch does not mention the consumption of mutton. It is too outrageous that more than 2,000 cattle a year are included in the loss. Ten years ago, this consumption, this group of people Afraid of being beaten to death.

Therefore, when Jiang Qi returned to Chang'an before, he told Chen Xi the truth regardless of whether other people knew it or not.

Jiang Qi himself did not expect to eat so much. Maybe some people in the Central Plains who went north to participate in the management and construction of the large ranch had never eaten cattle. When they learned that cattle were also edible in this ranch, they were very curious. ...

So 2,400 cows were eaten in a year, thanks to Jiang Qi's really good job, and Chen Xi is reasonable, saying that it is a matter of course for cattle and grazing to eat beef, and he didn't care about it, and Jiang Qi's skills The personnel didn't think wildly, so they just brought the words back, and then the group of people continued to eat cattle.

It is precisely because of the accumulation of a large amount of experience that the Northland Ranch has really completed this top-notch and most shocking barbecue method.

When several macho chefs carried a whole roasted, crispy and tender beef into the main hall, everyone present except Chen Xi was stunned.

The alluring fragrance and the shocking vision made Liu Tong and others stunned when they saw this kind of thing for the first time. Indeed, they had never eaten such a shocking thing.

Even at this moment, Liu Tong, Liu Bei, Bai Qi, Han Xin and others all came up with the same sentence - barbecue, it can be roasted like this, it is really amazing.
