American Ranch

Chapter 103 Chef Academy
Adult Dorper sheep, rams can grow to more than 120 kilograms, about 250 pounds.

Sell ​​live sheep directly, 8.5 dollars a pound, this price is not low, more than 2000 million nearly 3000 million contracts...

Few ranches dared to accept such a contract.

Bai Xiaoou didn't want Chen Mo to be impulsive, looked at him and said, "Is there really no problem?"

Chen Mo could only look at Bright: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem." The contract only requires no more than a dozen fixed indicators, and does not require that they be raised according to the organic process or pass third-party certification.

The production of mutton requires no drug residues, no hormones, and no antibiotics. The requirements are simple, and the farm needs to do more work. The workflow is comparable to raising Wagyu, but it is not as troublesome as raising Wagyu.

In the United States, the price of organically raised Dorper sheep is very expensive, and the meat with good quality can be sold for more than 2000 US dollars, meeting the first-class meat quality standard set by the Chefs Association. A sheep can even be sold for 3000 US dollars.In China, the price of this kind of sheep has reached 2 yuan...

The Dorper sheep population in the United States is not large either.

After working for so long, Hegu Ranch has only bought back less than 500 breeding sheep. The delivery time of the contract is very sufficient, and there is a deposit of [-] million US dollars.

It's almost noon, call John, he brings his wife over, and then a group of people return to the villa for lunch.

The ginseng chicken soup is a feast.

Master Rong cooks it himself, the soup is translucent, and the rich ginseng chicken soup tastes so delicious...

Chen Mo filled a bowl, took a sip, it was beautiful.The ginseng taste is strong, mixed with the delicious taste of chicken soup. The soup is the color of ginseng, translucent and dark yellow. The chicken soup only puts a little salt, not too much seasoning.

Drink a bowl, the belly is warm.

"Mr. Zhang, Xiao Rui, you are a guest from afar, so don't be polite." Chen Mo greeted, and first got a chicken leg.

"Mr. Chen, you're being polite. Master Rong's skills are really amazing. He's a proper chef."

Chen Mo smiled.

Bai Xiaoou also laughed, and quickly grabbed another chicken leg and handed it to Jennifer: "Isn't Lao Rong a chef, he has served as a judge for many food shows."

Zhang Cheng was taken aback for a moment: "Really... I just said, these are definitely not something ordinary chefs can make."

Master Rong was flattered in front of others, and it was also very useful: "Praise, I'm just a cook..."

To be honest, if you want to eat dishes cooked by Master Rong himself, you should make an appointment at least one week in advance.This... only stays in Los Angeles two to three days a week, cooking a few tables at most.More time is spent in Tangxia Yipin Research Institute, which is only a department for formulating dishes, and is also responsible for training chefs in the company.

After eating, everyone rested for a while.

Zhang Rui followed Chen Chen to the valley tree grape plantation...

In addition to handing over the goods, Zhang Cheng and his son are also responsible for instructing the ranch on how to plant and manage vines.

This thing is easy to grow, and if you want to get a good harvest, you need some professional knowledge.

Brett called a few more farm workers over. He and Zhang Cheng took a car and followed the farm workers to the small valley.

In the entire ranch, apart from Chen Mo and Chen Chen, Bright's Chinese is the best, and he can basically communicate without barriers.

Chinese is notoriously difficult to learn, much more difficult than English.It took Brett more than a year, and he speaks sneaky Chinese, with an accent of Trump dialect...

Just because Bright learned Chinese in a short time, Chen Mo is willing to keep him by his side.When old employees Canbi and Athol at Snow Mountain ranch sold the ranch in Chenmo, they could say a few simple words in Chinese, 'boss, good morning, good afternoon...'.

After Brett and the others set off, Chen Mo came out with a few buckets: "Pick the grapes, are you going?"

"Of course, we come here like we're eating grapes."

"Let's go too." Chen Xiao said while pulling Zhang Xia and Jennifer.

Speechless.

There is only one pickup at home...

Chen Mo handed the pickup truck to Chen Xiao, and drove the Lamborghini Nitro tractor himself, and the tractor only had one driving seat.And then there's a little seat by the window...

Master Rong wanted to drive his car, a sedan.

The roads in the valley are not easy to walk, at least you need an SUV, pickup or off-road vehicles.

Before Master Rong got into the car, Bai Xiaoou grabbed him: "Master Rong, don't you want to take a tractor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? You have to enjoy life on the ranch." Bai Xiaooula Master Rong climbed up the ladder and gave the position of the small stool to Master Rong, who stood behind the driver's seat.

A tractor with hundreds of thousands of dollars, this tractor uses a V10 engine, which seems to be the same engine used by a certain Mavericks. In addition, it has sound insulation treatment, the sound is not noisy at all, and the car can feel its powerful power immediately when it starts ...

"Old Chen, there is something you need to help advise." Bai Xiaoou stood behind and pressed Chen Mo's shoulder.

"Say."

"Weilun Catering and Barbona Catering also have their own food research and development departments. Now the cooperation between our three companies is very deep... I think, our food research and development department (Tang Xia Yipin Research Institute) will be independent, and this The R&D departments of the two companies merged to form a chef academy. Have you ever been to the Napa Chef Academy?"

"Of course." Chen Mo nodded. The Napa Valley Chef Academy is said to be the best chef academy in the United States.Chen Mo has been there once and was very impressed.

"Let's also set up a similar academy... With the strength of our three companies, as long as we unite, the Academy of America's Best Chefs will definitely be ours."

This master really thinks about it, Bai Xiaoou has a lot of ideas, but he will really do it...

If it can be done, it is really a good thing.

Master Rong is probably the only chef Tang Xia Yipin can handle right now.The other two companies, especially Barbona Catering, have two Michelin three-star restaurants, both of which are established restaurants.Three Michelin two-star restaurants, and several Michelin one-star restaurants...

Wellen Restaurant has a Michelin three-star restaurant, but there are several world-class chefs.

As for Tangxia Yipin, although it is developing very well now, after all, it has not been established for a long time, and in the US market, it mainly focuses on Chinese food brands.Compared with the other two companies, Tangxia Yipin's background is too shallow.

"Is he willing to talk to you?" Chen Mo said.

Bai Xiaoou shrugged and looked at Master Rong: "Take it easy, the development of our company seems to be on the upswing now, and I don't understand why it is developing so fast. Maybe, just as Lei Jun's father said, stand Pigs can fly on the cusp.”

Chen Mo laughed: "Compared with those two companies, the strength of Tangxia Yipin is not even a star. Especially the background..." Chen Mo glanced at Master Rong and made an apologetic expression: "This is the United States after all. If there is Master Rong sitting in the country, it will be appropriate..."

Master Rong smiled, this is the truth.

American and European food cultures are different from those in China.Each has its own culture, each has its own heritage... Master Rong is really no worse than a Michelin three-star chef, and the current Master Rong is only a Michelin two-star chef... Michelin ratings, many people just accept this.

Master Rong used to have an annual salary of 200 million in China.Come to the United States to work as the executive chef of Tangxia Yipin Los Angeles flagship store, with an annual salary of 30 US dollars (after tax) plus a 500% dividend of the store's annual profit.At the same time, he is a consultant of Tangxia Yipin Meal R&D Center. There is no salary in this department, but the last time the company raised funds, the company reserved 35 million shares as the company's equity pool. There are many Xiaoou, and [-] shares were rewarded.In the future, Master Rong will not only serve as the executive chef of one restaurant, but also be responsible for all the chefs of Tangxia Yipin in the entire Los Angeles metropolis...

The equity pool now has 260 million unallocated shares...

"Old Rong, our company still has 260 million shares left undistributed. As I said last time, can you recruit your master... It is not easy to expand the territory in the United States. We need the support of domestic masters so that the Foreigners know what is real Chinese food..."
