Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1837, Eating Meat Freedom

Following Li Dahai's explanation, Li Dahai and Li Batu also brought Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin to the inside of the processing plant, and the processing plant is already busy now.

"This is where the import is. Here, cattle and sheep are sent to the production line one by one through this funnel-shaped passage."

"When we reach this position, there will be machinery to clamp the cattle and sheep for slaughter, and then hang the cattle and sheep through hooks. Through the production line, step by step from thin skin, viscera, bone, meat, and then According to the specifications, it is processed into meat strips or meat cubes."

"By the time we get here, the beef has already become a processed product, and then the dried meat is dried or smoked, and finally we get the beef jerky, beef cubes and dried meat that we see in the market now. of."

"If it's a sausage, you need to mince the meat, add some sweet potato flour or corn flour, and if you like, you can add chili, pepper, pepper, etc. to enhance the flavor, and then enter the sausage enema machine Inside, use a machine to give an enema."

Li Dahai took the two of them on a detailed tour of the entire processing plant.

There are still workers working in the processing plant with sharp knives in their hands, which makes the person in charge of security very nervous, for fear that something will happen.

But this kind of worry is obviously superfluous. They didn't know that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was right in front of them, and they came to visit this kind of beef and mutton processing factory.

You must know that even the beef and mutton processing factories of later generations are relatively dirty and smelly, let alone the current processing factories. How could the emperor come to such a place.

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin watched and listened at the same time, and they had a general understanding of this processing factory.

It can only be said that the scale of this processing plant is not bad, a lot of machinery is used, and the processing method is an assembly line. The efficiency is quite good, although it cannot be compared with the processing plants of later generations.

But in this era, it is definitely the most advanced processing plant.

In terms of sanitation, it is also okay. The dirty things are basically packed together, and then shipped out for processing. The whole processing process is much cleaner than the black workshops of later generations.

After visiting the processing plant, Li Dahai and Li Batu brought them to the product display area and introduced their products to them in detail.

"Dried meat, jerky, sausage and the like processed by our processing plant can be stored for a very long time, and can be stored for at least one year in a dry and cool environment."

"In addition, all our beef and mutton are processed from fresh beef and mutton. As you saw just now, they are all slaughtered and processed from the best fresh beef and mutton."

"All cattle and sheep must be inspected, and only healthy cattle and sheep can be used for processing."

"In terms of quality, you can absolutely rest assured. Our Dahai brand beef and mutton are sold all over the world."

Li Dahai can speak well now, and he can't stop talking when he introduces his products.

"Well, it's really good!"

Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look and couldn't help nodding.

In particular, Liu Jin also greatly appreciated the quality of this beef and mutton. This beef and mutton is processed from really high-quality beef and mutton. I have seen it with my own eyes, and this meat sausage is real meat sausage , unlike the so-called meat sausages of later generations, which are all processed from flour and the like, there is no meat in them at all, and even if there is meat, you don't know what it is.

But now the meat sausages produced by processing are all meat sausages processed from high-quality meat, and some starch is added to facilitate processing.

This gap is still a bit big.

"How about the price?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked.

"The price is convenient, so you can rest assured that our beef and mutton in Australia are the cheapest, and the price is also the most reasonable."

"Whether it's dried meat or sausage here, it costs fifteen cents a catty. This is definitely, definitely the cheapest price in the world!"

"Listening to your accent, this is also from the Beijing-Tianjin area. You must also know that in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the price of this fresh beef and mutton is around ten yuan, let alone processed dried meat. If a catty of meat is processed into jerky, there will be less than six taels left."

When it comes to the price, Li Dahai said very confidently.

There are not many things in Australia, but there is a lot of meat, cattle, sheep and horses, and kangaroos. In this factory that specializes in processing kangaroo meat, kangaroos don’t need to buy them, they can just go hunting in the wilderness.

"Fifteen cents a catty?"

After Liu Jin heard this, his eyes widened slightly.

This is too cheap!
Think about future generations, beef is four to fifty-one catties, and mutton is five or sixty-one catties. If ordinary people want to eat meat, their hands will tremble a few times. Therefore, pork is what everyone eats the most. Beef and mutton are generally not available. Meals are eaten.

Not to mention being like Europeans and Americans, who can eat all they can eat, the price is too expensive, and where is the spending power when the income is limited.

But now, the beef and mutton in Australia is only [-] cents per catty, which is the price after processing into jerky, which means that the price of fresh beef and mutton here may only be a few pennies per catty. The prices of food and vegetables are almost the same.

This is very cheap, and it can completely realize the freedom to eat meat. Even ordinary people can eat meat freely, and it is completely affordable.

"This price is already the most favorable price. Of course, if you buy a large quantity, you can still discuss it."

Seeing Liu Jin's surprised look, Li Dahai thought that his quotation was too high, so he hurriedly added.

"This price is really cheap!"

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and said.

"Haha, of course. We have a lot of cattle and sheep here in Australia, so the price is naturally very cheap. Of course, there is no way to compare with Daming's side."

"In our place, beef and mutton are actually very common ingredients. It costs only two or three hundred cash to buy a sheep, and only two or three taels of silver to buy a cow."

"So the beef and mutton jerky produced here is also the cheapest, and there is no one cheaper than ours in the whole world."

Li Dahai nodded and said with a smile.

There are too many cattle and sheep here, the vast land, rich aquatic plants, and good weather conditions are extremely suitable for grazing, and Australia is also implementing a ranch economy similar to that of Central Asia.

It is not the grazing method of nomadic tribes. The grazing method actually does not raise many cattle and sheep, and it is very primitive. Cattle and sheep are the rations of herders.

But the ranch economy is different. Planting grass, corn, wheat, etc., and grazing cattle and sheep through sophisticated breeding methods will be more efficient and more stable.

This is the important reason for the large production of cattle and sheep here in Australia, because although it is far away from Daming, the economic model is an advanced ranch economic model.

The herdsmen here are not only herdsmen, but also farmers, who plant a large amount of wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., and then process them into concentrated feed combined with planted forage to raise cattle and sheep.

"That's really cheap!"

"There is no need to think about eating meat at all."

Liu Jin also shook his head and sighed.

Thinking about future generations, I couldn't help shaking my head.

The land area of ​​the later generations is so large, there are still many deserts and barren lands, and the population is very large. It is really not easy to eat meat.

Let alone beef and mutton, being able to eat pork is already a very good thing.

Looking at people in Europe, they have a vast land with sparse population and well-developed agriculture and animal husbandry, so the price of meat is very cheap. The price of beef and mutton is even less than half of ours. They eat meat very freely.

In the final analysis, it is because we have vast land, we can graze cattle and sheep on a large scale, develop animal husbandry and agriculture, and we have a lot of people and little land, so the first thing we need to do is to feed a huge population.

The current Daming is different. The entire population of Daming is now estimated to have just exceeded 2 million, occupying such a vast and huge land.

There are too many places that can be used to graze cattle and sheep, and they are all the best pastures in the world. The cattle and sheep produced here are many and good, and the key is that the price is very cheap.

The dried meat only sells for 15 yuan a catty. The price is negotiable, and discounts are available for large quantities. The common people can eat this beef and mutton as a snack.

"Haha, that's right, when you come to Australia, you must eat enough meat. You can eat whatever you want, and it won't cost you much."

Li Dahai smiled and nodded.

All his life, the first 20 years or so have been suffering. At that time, he was poor, let alone eating meat, and being able to eat enough was a luxury.

Later, I went to the Prairie Province, where I could eat meat, but life was still poor. It was not until I immigrated to Australia that life became easier. I couldn’t eat enough food, and I couldn’t finish eating meat. Now it’s even more difficult. The factory became the boss.

This day is comfortable and has a bright future.

"Our children here in Australia are all tall and strong, mainly because we have a lot of meat here."

"How about the South Golden Continent prairie?"

Liu Jin nodded, and then asked about the prairie in South Golden Continent.

"It's also very good over there. The grassland area is very vast and the water and grass are abundant. It is extremely suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. There is also a lot of beef and mutton produced there, but it is mainly sold to the major colonies and vassal states in Africa."

As for raising the southern Golden Continent prairie, Li Dahai also spoke truthfully. The two people in front of him were not easy to fool at first glance. There was no need to tell lies, and he had always done business like this, treating people with sincerity.

"That's it~"
