Chapter 297 Green Ox
In fact, including the new varieties of grapes that were introduced before, Li Anran chose a total of four species as the flagship products of Yingzhou Island. As for why more common species such as rice, wheat, and broiler chickens were not selected, there are also reasons.
In Li Anran's view, more common species such as rice, flour, chicken, eggs, etc. do occupy a large share in the trade market. But in order to open up the situation, he needs to go to the high-end market, so naturally he cannot make this choice.
In fact, among purebred horse racing, top beef cattle and cigar tobacco, only top beef cattle can be operated on a large scale. Moreover, it is also chosen to seize the market for Japanese Wagyu beef, which is known as the best beef in the world.
.
As for cigar tobacco, although it can be grown on a large scale, in terms of marketing and acceptance, it is far inferior to top beef cattle. After all, whether the beef is good or not depends on the pedigree and the quality of the meat itself.
As for tobacco, even cigars, which are alternative cigarettes rolled directly from tobacco leaves, are products that are difficult to accept. Not to mention seizing the Cuban cigar market, if you want to be truly accepted by consumers, you need good operations.
OK.
Thoroughbred horse racing is completely Li Anran's personal interest. He also rode some good horses of that era in Datang. Although the speed is far inferior to the teleportation ability and helicopter driving, there is an irreplaceable speed and speed.
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, coupled with horse racing and horse sales, etc., the profits that can be brought are very huge.
land.
According to Li Anran's idea, there shouldn't be many at the beginning. You only need to breed one or two absolutely good horses, and then compete and achieve good results. It will be too easy to make money by then, and it will be better than selling them.
Rice is strong.
Of course, Li Anran also knows that although the unit price of rice is far lower than that of purebred horse racing, the huge market still represents extremely high profits. The reason why he did not choose this can only be said to be because of different needs.
Moreover, Li Anran does not really intend to give up rice, flour, corn, soybeans and other agricultural products that are indispensable for the entire human existence. It is just that he is just putting it aside temporarily and it will not be too late to do it again when the time is ripe.
Considering the breeding of top beef, the size of Island No. 2 alone will be greatly affected. In addition, I also bought a very large pasture in Lewistown, Montana, and I will not make good use of it.
That's called a waste of natural resources.
The beef cattle cultivated by Li Anran are not just one breed. Instead, they are multiple breeds created after crossbreeding the four best beef cattle in the world. Even these four top beef cattle have been "copycats".
"Come out.
The four types of beef cattle are Kobe beef from Japan, Chianina beef from Italy, also known as quinine beef, Charolais beef from France, and the Australian beef, which has a similar reputation to Japan’s Kobe beef and is also well-known.
Feeding Angus cattle.
It can be said that with these four kinds of beef cattle in hand, even if Li Anran does not breed new breeds, it is enough to make a lot of money in the beef market just by "copycat" pure-blooded beef cattle with better quality.
profit.
The reason why Li Anran decided to breed a new breed of beef cattle was not only because he wanted to create his own breed to break the monopoly, but also because he accidentally created a problem when he tried to breed beef cattle before.
"Auspicious" comes.
It's a coincidence that after you obtained the world's four top beef cattle in Huada, Li Anran cultivated them in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. He often used the "side effects" of time and space travel to modify the mother and father of the beef cattle.
This has been improved and optimized.
After these female and male parents have grown to the stage where they can reproduce offspring, they can then conduct cross-crossing to obtain new varieties. As a result, among the many mixed-blood beef cattle products that have been crossed, a very special variety has been created.
, green cow.
Cows like green ox often appear in Taoism or myths and legends. The most famous one is probably the one under Taishang Laojun. In Journey to the West, this one made a lot of limelight and became a famous figure.
One of the few monsters that can compete with the Monkey King.
Of course, the young men cultivated by Li Anran cannot really be the ones in myths and legends. They are ordinary beef cattle. The only thing that is different from other beef cattle is that the skin color of this kind of cattle is cyan.
Li Anran thought a lot about why he could produce such cyan beef cattle by crossbreeding, and even asked experts. In the end, he only came up with some ideas. It may be caused by some extremely low-probability mutation, which is half a dime from the mythical novel.
There is no relationship at all.
It would be fine if this green bull was just abnormal in color. After all, if it were just like that, even if it does have a lot of gimmicks, the benefits would be limited. But in fact, the quality of this green bull is so good that even experts
All surprised.
Regardless of whether it is the most famous Japanese Kobe beef or Angus cattle, or the relatively unknown Italian Chianina cattle, also known as Quinine cattle, or the French Charolais cattle, they all have strict classifications.
standard.
As a representative of high-end beef, having beautiful marble patterns has become a simple identification condition. And the beef obtained after slaughtering this green cow, even the most ordinary parts, has a certain degree of marble.
pattern.
Don’t think that this is nothing. 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 even if it is considered to be in its prime, it only has a few parts in common. The so-called
That's what marbling is.
Although when you eat sirloin steak, you will marvel at the pattern formed by the evenly distributed fat on the other side, but on the cow that this steak comes from, I dare not say that there is no such effect, but
It is definitely very rare.
But this green beef has even the most common parts of the meat with more or less marbled features. The most important thing is that this kind of beef is not only beautiful to look at, it is definitely good in terms of nutrition and taste.
It's top quality.
What makes Li Anran most happy is that he doesn't know whether this mutation is due to the "side effects" caused by time and space travel, and is not just a flash in the pan in the history of evolution. Otherwise, Li Anran would not have been able to prove it by killing cattle.
After initially solving the breeding problem of green cattle, Li Anran turned his attention to the feed of beef cattle. You must know that the "side effects" of time and space travel are not static. As long as time and space travel is interrupted, the quality of beef cattle will change.
decline.
Anyway, after Li Anran spent a lot of time as a beef cattle breeding expert, traveling through time and space with this thing, as well as various other species that needed improvement and optimization, this green cow's
The variety has stabilized.
The only thing that makes Li Anran a little dissatisfied is that the population of these green cattle is still too small. If they are put on the market at this time, although it will definitely cause a sensation, the sensation will definitely not be perfect without a complete plan.
In order to allow Qingniu, a new breed of beef cattle, to flourish in his own hands, it would be best to knock Japanese Kobe beef off the altar in one fell swoop. Li Anran had to act as a freighter and ran to Lewis, Montana.
Guo Li.
Considering that the teleportation ability was too buggy, Li Anran did not dare to take the cattle directly. Instead, after playing outside for a few days, he packed all the green cattle raised in the Tang Dynasty into boxes and took them directly to the ranch.
there.
Since 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 ordinary breeds, the number of green cattle that Li Anran can currently produce is limited. However, with the pasture, I believe that the expansion will
The size of the population is not the issue.
Compared with the troubles of beef cattle, thoroughbred horse racing and cigar tobacco are obviously much simpler.
At present, only two pure-blooded racehorses have been purchased from outside, and then they have been bred with horses from the Tang Dynasty and the world's sweat-blooded BMWs. But even so, Li Anran spent a lot of money on these two racehorses alone.
A lot of money.
If it weren't for the new varieties of forage 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 purebred racehorses would be so high that ordinary people would simply not be able to accept such an exaggeration.
