The matter of acknowledging the ancestor and returning to the clan ended in an anticlimactic manner. It seems that in order to compensate Lin Zhu, both the Lin family and the Wang family sent many gifts to the general's mansion, most of which were for their daughter's family.
General Chang accepted everything for Lin Zhu without hesitation, but his attitude toward King Lin and the two became a little subtle. Lin Zhu did not return to the general's mansion immediately after the incident, but continued to work on Zhuangzi.
The lingering made General Chang think that she was sad, so General Chang was not in a good mood and regretted that he had promised Mr. Lin to tell her life story.
So he simply took the things sent by Lin and Wang's family and went to Zhuangzi in Wang Village.
"These are all given to you by those two families." General Chang directed his servants to place several boxes of things in the center of the hall. At the same time, he explained the situation of Prince Lin and the two to Lin Zhu one by one.
Lin Zhu smiled bitterly, recalling how he got to know the two families. Is it really because of blood relations that people who were strangers met each other?
"Grandpa, actually I don't want to get to know them, so I don't mind letting these things go." The sadness belongs to the original Lin Xiuzhu, and she is the new Lin Zhu, and she doesn't have much affection for her so-called biological parents.
"Huh, accepting these things is just to make those two people feel at ease." How could General Chang not see the intentions of the two old men, King Lin? It was simply because his relationship with Lin Zhu was exposed and he did not recognize each other.
Just to appease Lin Zhu.
"They are too embarrassed to appear in front of you now, and you don't have to worry about what will happen when you return to Beijing."
Lin Zhu smiled slightly, and then realized that General Chang thought she was sad. That's why he has not returned to Beijing for a long time. He probably came here this time to persuade her to go back.
Lin Zhu did not return to the capital mainly because she had some matters to deal with at Zhuangzi. Moreover, she was also concerned about the situation of raising cattle on the pasture. As the number of cattle purchased by Muyue Trading Company from other places increased, management became a bit laborious, so Lin Zhu
Zhu had to arrange for more people to work on the ranch.
Harvesting of pasture is a top priority. After all, the number of cattle has suddenly increased from 1,000 to 5,000, and the feed alone has reached an astonishing level. Therefore, a large number of people are sent to harvest pasture and prepare winter storage feed for cattle.
.
Then there is the management of so many cattle. Bulls must be selected as strong individuals as breeding cattle. Cows must also be selected and carefully cared for. For pregnant cows, more concentrated feed must be added.
Although Lin Zhu has also recruited many experienced cattle breeders, they have never seen such a large-scale breeding, and Lin Zhu only has theory and no practical experience.
Therefore, Lin Zhu had to often discuss with these cattle breeders how to raise so many cattle. Lin Zhu felt very embarrassed for delaying his return to Beijing and letting General Chang have such an idea.
"Grandpa, it's not because of them." Lin Zhu smiled and shook his head, "In a moment, I will have someone arrange lunch. You will know."
The first batch of cattle raised are being put on the market one after another. Lin Zhu also saved a lot of good beef, just in time for General Chang to change his taste.
"Oh, so old man, I'm in good luck again." General Chang felt relieved when he found that Lin Zhu really didn't care about what happened before.
"Well, I think you will like it." Lin Zhu smiled and nodded.
When the exquisite charcoal stove copper pot was served on the table, General Chang was a little confused at first. After seeing his servants prepare everything, and then bring out several large plates of thinly sliced meat, he smiled with satisfaction.
.
"Grandpa, this is freshly slaughtered beef. It was frozen for a while before being sliced and served." The beef was cut into moderately thin pieces and neatly placed on a white porcelain plate. The beef was covered with marble-like textures.
The texture is red and fat, and looks very attractive.
"This beef seems to be thicker than the mutton that is usually cooked in pots." General Chang picked up a piece of beef and took a closer look. "However, this meat looks quite good."
General Chang scalded the beef slices in the boiling pot, took them out, dipped them in the toppings prepared by Lin Zhu, and put them in his mouth.
Chewing gently, a special tender and chewy feeling immediately burst out in the mouth. "Well, not bad, it's really good." General Chang nodded with satisfaction, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Expression. And as a gourmet, General Chang also felt that the beef was extraordinary. It was infinitely better than the beef he had eaten before.
"It is indeed top-quality meat." General Chang looked at Lin Zhu with a smile. "The meat and oil are just right, it is fragrant, smooth, and tender. However, there should be better meat. These meats are just
Just the beef rib part.”
"Grandpa is really amazing." Lin Zhu extended his thumb in admiration.
Of course she has better beef here, and different cuts of beef are used in different dishes, so Lin Zhu has also prepared some other ways to cook the beef.
She prepared a small iron plate imitating the teppanyaki method, so that she can prepare higher-grade beef on the spot.
The beef that the servant brought in again was more beautiful than the beef that General Chang had just eaten. The snow-white fat was evenly distributed on the beef. Just looking at it, I felt that my saliva would flow down involuntarily. Moreover, there was always a certain kind of beef.
As soon as you bite into it, the meat will overflow with juice.
"Good meat." General Chang's eyes lit up when he saw it. "There shouldn't be much of this kind of meat, right?" he asked very expertly.
"Grandpa has really good eyesight." Lin Zhu smiled and pointed to the beef that was served before and said, "The beef used in the pot just now is the upper part of the eye. The meat is delicate and the tenderness is a little bit less. But it is eaten with a rinse.
It’s not bad. And it has more meat.”
After a pause, Lin Zhu directed the cook to start cooking the beef that had just been served, and said, "This is the eye meat part, between the seventh and eleventh ribs of the cow, and this part of the beef is very
There is less meat, the meat is tender, and there are a lot of fat patterns between the muscles, so it is particularly suitable whether it is eaten in a rinse, grilled, or pan-fried."
Just as he was talking, the cook had already put the beef on the heated iron plate. The sound of "squeaking, squeaking" indicated that the heat of the iron plate had forced the fat out of the meat. There was an aroma immediately.
spread out.
The beef is not cut thickly, so just turn it over twice or three times on the iron plate and it will be ready.
Before putting it on the plate, the cook had already followed Lin Zhu's instructions and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.
According to Lin Zhu's previous life, there should be Western-style knives and forks. However, in order to be more low-key, Lin Zhu made a slight change and made it a size that can be eaten with chopsticks.
There are no various Western-style seasonings in the previous life, so Lin Zhu only made it a rich sauce flavor.
However, this was the first time that General Chang had eaten beef in such a way that each part was divided into such fine pieces and cooked. Not only was it novel, but the experience was also more different.
It seems that Lin Zhu has really made this beef so delicate that it is delicious.
"Haha, it seems that those old gourmets in the capital have been caught by you again." After tasting the piece of beef, General Chang smiled very happily. Lin Zhu was so difficult to do, and the two old men, King Lin, wanted to do it for their own family.
I don’t dare to recognize the little reputation I have, and I will definitely regret it in the future.
"Grandpa, how do you think this beef compares with what you have eaten before?" Lin Zhu also sat at the dinner table. Although it was not her first time eating, she had never prepared such exquisite food before.
"The beef I've eaten before is incomparable to what I'm seeing now." General Chang shook his head. Although cattle are very precious, eating beef is not a very difficult thing for some people from big families.
In particular, General Chang was born as a military general, and his requirements for meat were higher than those of ordinary people. After all, physical strength was a very important part for military generals. Therefore, the Chang family ate much more meat than ordinary civil servant families.
"What do you think if these beefs are sold according to grade?" Only in this way can we fully reflect the excellent quality of our beef. Moreover, this kind of business is high-end and difficult for ordinary people to imitate. Even if someone wants to compete with you for business in the future,
A large number of cattle are raised, but without the support of space forage, it is difficult to produce beef of this grade.
"Haha, are you thinking about this in Zhuangzi?" General Chang looked at Lin Zhu with some fun, thinking that she never returned to the capital because of sadness.
But when he heard what she said, General Chang felt that his worries were in vain. It seemed that the previous incident did not have a big impact on her. Her mood recovered quickly.
"Yes, but I have been thinking about this for a long time." Lin Zhu nodded, "However, the beef production in the past two years has not reached this level, and there are not many cattle, so I have not gone to this level.
Aspect plan. "Raising cattle and pasture is one aspect, and this breed is also a very important part.
The cattle collected before were of various types, and it was difficult to pick out which type of cattle was most suitable for breeding as breeding cattle. Therefore, the quality of beef has always been somewhat unstable.
It wasn't until this year, after the first cow was slaughtered, that the cut meat showed such changes. The rancher told Lin Zhu that she had such an idea again.
"It's just that this kind of beef doesn't seem to have a high yield." General Chang thought for a while.
"That's why its grade is high, and the smaller quantity is better." Lin Zhu took over with a smile.
"Does he know your plan?" The person General Chang mentioned was of course Mu Qiyue.
"I haven't told him about this matter yet. I have to discuss it with you first, grandpa." Lin Zhu said this, which made General Chang very satisfied. Her attitude also showed that Mu Qiyue was under Lin Zhu's
The status in my heart is still a bit different from my own.
"When he comes over, you can tell him in detail and let him handle this kind of thing." General Chang waved his hand, and that was the end of the business.
He is going to taste these delicious beef. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
