The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Xiangbei signed an agreement with Nongken. Nongken transferred their tea factory, factory area and entire tea garden in Qiongzhong, totaling 7,121 acres, to Zhang Xiang at a price of 38,000 yuan per mu. Bei, the unit that signed the agreement with Agricultural Reclamation is Hainan North-South Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., which Zhang Xiangbei has applied for pre-registration in Haicheng.

The south of north and south is Xiangnan, and the north is Zhang Xiangbei himself.

The transfer amount of 270,598,000 yuan was transferred to Zhang Xiangbei's account at once.

On both sides of the stream, there were creek beaches belonging to the local village. Including this stream, the total area was 535.7 acres. The village transferred it to Zhang Xiangbei at the same price.

In addition, County Magistrate Zhen complied with the agreement between himself and Zhang Xiangbei and set the price of 20 acres of residential land in the county at 320,000 yuan per mu. The auctioneer must invest more than 800 million yuan in Qiongzhong. , with tailor-made conditions for agricultural and breeding projects, the land was auctioned to Zhang Xiangbei in a targeted manner.

This price, in Lao Xie's words, is like picking it up now.

The county government’s support for this project is evident.

After signing the agreement and paying the relevant amounts, Bao Tianbin handled the remaining procedures. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan were preparing to return to Hangzhou, but Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan rushed over and said they wanted to give Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan the money. This project to the north needs to be carefully planned.

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan had to stay in Haicheng for two more days.

What Zhang Xiangbei didn't expect was that Gu Gong and Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan came together, which made him quite happy.

Everyone went to Qiongzhong together, and Lao Xie and Bao Tianbin also went with them. Standing at the scene, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan both thought it was a good place.

Liu Ligan and Zhang Xiangbei said: "This can be made into a scenic spot in Qiongzhong."

Zhang Xiangbei remained silent, thinking to himself, wasn't this about letting him have some farmhouse fun? He had promised County Magistrate Zhen at the beginning that he was just raising cattle honestly and would not have any farmhouse fun.

Liu Ligan seemed to know what Zhang Xiangbei was thinking, and said to him: "Beibei, don't be so stubborn. I am not asking you to engage in farm entertainment. The starting point of people doing farm entertainment is to make money, and farm entertainment is just a means and embellishment.

"You have to raise cattle here, but it won't stop you from doing side business. Pastoral songs are also very beautiful pictures, which can attract people."

Zhang Xiangbei almost laughed out loud. Wasn't this just asking him to make this place like the Rokko Ranch in Kobe? Going around and around, he wondered whether he would have to make something he disliked again in his own hands.

"What your uncle said is right." Zhang Chen said, "You don't need to spend much more investment. It's just to add some facilities for tourists. This place can be very beautiful. This will not affect your breeding industry at all. There are more people coming to play and tasting beef here, which will also be good for you to promote this brand in the future. Now the wine is fragrant but the alley is too deep."

"The money you earn from your side job can increase the benefits of your employees and increase employment. This is a multi-purpose thing." Liu Ligan said, "Look at the current Three Gorges Power Station, Xichang Satellite Launch Base, and even Tiananmen Square have changed. It has become a tourist attraction, do you think it is embarrassing to be a tourist? By the way, if you start it, you can rent two houses to our 'people's tourism industry'."

"Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu are right, this is the icing on the cake." Gu Gongye said to Zhang Xiangbei.

Zhang Xiangbei thought what they said made sense, especially the idea of ​​opening a beef restaurant here. It was indeed a good idea. Zhang Xiangbei and Zhang Chen said:

"Okay, you help me plan, and I'll write you what I need."

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhang Xiangbei and said nothing, which was his acquiescence.

After returning from Qiongzhong, they did not go back to Haicheng, but went directly to Ding'an. Bao Tianbin called Ahua and Lao Qi and made an appointment with them to wait directly at the Beef Street on Xiangou Siyuan Road.

Ahua said: "It's still the same as last time. There were so many people at night and it was hard to find a parking space here."

Bao Tianbin said yes.

When they arrived at the door of the unit, they saw Ah Hua and Lao Qi waiting at the door of the unit. The gate to the yard was closed. Ah Hua saw them arriving and asked the old man in the reception room to open the door. The two cars went in. The old man in the reception room immediately closed the door again, fearing that other cars would follow.

As everyone stood there, Zhang Xiangbei introduced Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan, Gu Gong and Lao Xie to Lao Qi and Ahua. Zhang Xiangbei was worried that Gu Gong's actions would cause Lao Qi to misunderstand. I specifically called Lao Qi aside and said to him:

"This friend of ours specializes in food. He likes to do everything by himself. President Qi doesn't mind what he wants to do or what he says later. Let him do it."

Lao Qi understood and nodded with a smile.

The group of people walked to the beef street. As expected, there were many times more people here than when Zhang Xiangbei and the others came at noon that day. The little girl was everywhere shouting "Move, move, move, artery beef, now." Killed beef" sound.

Everyone who buys beef is also attracted by the beef hanging there and being pumped on the chopping board. The more vigorously moving the beef is, the more people buy it.

"I'll go! The beef here can really move, the ghost of the castle!" Liu Ligan shouted.

They looked at the stalls one by one. From time to time, Gu Gu would bend down and look at the pieces of beef. He asked Lao Qi, how do we make the beef here?

Lao Qi said: "Frying and making hot pot."

Gu Gong sighed and said, "Can't it be stir-fried? In fact, young scalpers taste best when stir-fried."

Lao Qi said yes, we can borrow their pot and fry it ourselves.

Zhang Xiangbei listened to it and was secretly happy. It seemed that his judgment was correct when he came here for the first time. The meat of this calf is firm and has less fat, so frying is the best choice.

Gu Gong stretched out his right hand, curled his fingers one by one, and said to everyone, "Let's buy three kinds of beef, one for frying, one for stir-frying, and one for hot pot, okay?"

Liu Ligan shouted: "You make the decision, we can eat whatever we have."

When they arrived at the third stall, Gu Gong saw a piece of meat on the chopping board. This piece of meat was about two kilograms. Gu Gong turned it over with his hands and said to the boss, "Give us this piece." The boss was very happy and quickly said yes.

Zhang Xiangbei knew why the boss was so happy. This piece of beef was on the chopping board and could no longer be moved. Anyone who came here to buy beef wanted to buy "moving" beef. All beef had the same price. Naturally, this piece of beef was untouchable. People are interested in it, and it has been placed here for more than an hour, but it has not been sold. The boss is worried, but he did not expect such a fool to take a fancy to it.

Bao Tianbin reminded: "Gong Gu, this piece of meat can no longer move. It has been left here for at least half an hour."

He still remembered what Lao Qi told them last time that the freshly killed beef would "move around" for half an hour.

Gu Gong smiled and said: "This piece of meat will not move even if it has just been killed. The meat that moves very much is the meat of the front and rear legs and the shoulder blades."

"What is this piece?" Bao Tianbin asked.

Gu Gong didn't say anything. After walking away, he proudly told them: "I missed it. This is a whole piece of filet."

Lao Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Not cucumber strips?"

"No, it's Feili." Gu Gong said.

"What is filet? What are cucumber strips?" Bao Tianbin asked.

"The cucumber strip is the semitendinosus muscle on the butt of the cow, and the filet is the tenderloin. It is below the cow's spine and in front of the waist. To be more precise, it is the tenderloin. There is only one strip in a cow." Gu Gong said.

"Who makes filet mignon?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"Yes." Gu Gong said, "However, many of the filet mignon you see in steakhouses are pretended to be cucumber strips and are not real filet mignon."

At the next stall, Gu Gong chose between two pieces of beef. He and Zhang Xiangbei said that of the two pieces, one is sirloin, which is called sirloin in Hong Kong. This is the New Yorker you eat in the United States. This is the meat. One piece is the rib eye. The two pieces of meat are actually connected together. The only difference is that the sirloin is in the front half of the sirloin and the rib eye is in the back of the sirloin.

"By the way, the filet we just bought is under the sirloin, separated from the sirloin by a T-bone. If you eat T-bone steak, you can eat sirloin and filet at the same time."

Gu Gong said, putting down the sirloin and telling the boss, I want this piece.

Gu Gong explained to them that the meat we fried already had a fillet, so we would not buy sirloin. Rib eye is good for hot pot. This is tenderer than sirloin, and sirloin will be harder for hot pot.

Then, Gu Gong asked the boss to take a "moving" piece of beef and told them that it was the outer leg meat and was best used for stir-frying.

While Gu Gong was choosing, he said that he knew that Zhang Xiangbei was very interested in this and explained it very carefully. Even Lao Qi, who was standing by, secretly admired him and felt that this guy's vision was even better than their chef's. , such as the piece just now, Lao Qi felt that it was difficult for him to distinguish whether it was cucumber strips or tenderloin. Not only could he tell that it was tenderloin, but he could also tell that it was tenderloin.

Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen looked at each other and shook their heads. Liu Ligan said: "In my opinion, meat is meat, just eat it. How can it be so verbose?"

Gu Gong laughed loudly and said: "People say that regardless of good or bad tea, drinking the same tea is called Niuyin. Mr. Liu, you can only say that you are eating meat like this. You have the spirit of swimming in Liangshan."

Everyone laughed.

They then bought beef brains, livers and ribs.

When we arrived at Jiajia Beef Restaurant, the place was packed with people. There was only one big table specially reserved for them. Unlike Lao Qi who cut and marinated the meat first and then put it in the refrigerator, Gu Gong directly put the three pieces of meat in the refrigerator. , refrigerate first.

When he walked to the front door of the store, he took out his cigarettes, put two cigarettes behind the ears of the busy chefs, and told them, "I'm causing you trouble."

They went to sit down at the empty table and waited. Gu Gong and Zhang Chen said that they were so busy now. They must hate us guys who make our own decisions. It disrupted their work. It would be best to do what they said. .

Lao Qi said from the side: "It's okay, it's okay, they all understand me."

I was thinking to myself, no wonder this guy is so powerful and so attentive, he is able to detect things that others cannot observe.

Bao Tianbin couldn't help it anymore and asked the consultant, why did you just put the meat in the refrigerator?

Gu Gong looked to the side and whispered to them:

"Actually, beef that moves like this is the least particular way to eat it, and it is also the least delicious. If there is no beef, it is wrong to say that you have to eat fresh beef. To be precise, you have to choose fresh beef. Yes, but it must be processed and the acid must be discharged, usually around zero degrees, and it takes six or seven hours to discharge the acid. We don’t have that much time, so it takes at least an hour.”

"What does acid discharge mean?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Mr. Zhang and President Qi should also know that not only beef, but also pork, actually needs to be acidified to taste better." Gu Gong said.

"I don't know, just tell me." Liu Ligan said.

Bao Tianbin said: "I don't know either."

Gu Gong said with a smile: "After the cow is killed, the body cells continue to move. At this time, the cow's blood has stopped flowing. The body cells are in a state of hypoxia and can only perform anaerobic respiration, which will produce a large amount of lactic acid." , the pH value of fresh muscle drops to acidic, myosin combines with myofibrillin to form myosin, and ultimately causes muscle contraction."

"It just turned into a zombie." Zhang Xiangbei told Liu Ligan and Bao Tianbin when he saw that they were confused.

"That's right." Gu Gong smiled, "To be more precise, this stage is called rigor mortis, which means the corpse begins to stiffen. Although it is harmless to the human body, it affects the taste."

"Hey, can you still make people eat well?" Xiang Nan asked, and everyone laughed.

Lao Qi said: "I know that beef and pork need to be acidified, but I can't explain so much."

"So, whether it's beef or pork, the most delicious meat is not frozen meat or fresh meat, but chilled meat." Gu Gong said.

"You'd better explain it clearly." Liu Ligan said.

Gu Gong said: "It's very simple. Fresh meat has not been deacidified. Frozen meat is quick-frozen at minus 18 degrees. At this time, the deacidification of the meat is also stopped. As I said before, the deacidification of meat is between zero and four degrees." room, which is the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer.

"At this time, lactic acid will be decomposed into carbon dioxide, water and alcohol to evaporate. At the same time, the large molecule adenosine triphosphate in the beef cells will be decomposed into fresh substances - base glycosides under the action of enzymes. The metabolites will be decomposed to the maximum extent, that is, The pH of the meat will be altered.

"During the process of acid excretion, the nuclear protein adenosine triphosphate is decomposed to produce phosphoric acid and hypoxanthine, which increases the flavor of the meat. Myosin in the protein produces glutamate under the influence of enzymes. You always know about glutamate, right, Mr. Liu? "

"MSG?" Liu Ligan asked.

Gu Gong nodded and said:

“There is another way of saying that the acidification of beef is called maturation, and maturation is an indispensable technical means for front-end processing of steaks.

"Maturation is divided into dry aging and wet aging. This is a long story. The best steaks are all dry-aged. For the same piece of Angus steak, to put it simply, the wet-aged steak is better than the dry-aged steak. Raw-cut steaks are more expensive, and dry-aged steaks are more expensive than wet-aged steaks, and not a little bit more expensive.”

"It's a long story, so tell me. Anyway, it's okay to sit here. Just treat it as a popular science." Liu Ligan urged.

"Tell me, tell me, I don't understand this either. I really want to hear it." Lao Qi also followed suit.
