Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1306 - 638: Killing a Thief

The consensus at the cattle ranch was soon reached, selling beef wasn’t as good as selling beef jerky.

The beef was certainly of good quality but the selling price had always been low, plus it wasted a lot of manpower and resources from the ranch. Originally, only a few cattle were slaughtered at one time, now the number of slaughters was increasing, so was the amount of beef, and consequently, more people came to fetch the beef.

So many people coming to fetch beef, the additional customers were mainly from other counties—nowadays transportation is dominated by farm trikes, and the cost of fuel isn’t expensive, traveling an extra hundred or two hundred li can earn quite a bit more, so there were plenty willing to do it.

According to everyone’s thinking at the ranch, it would be fine to supply just a portion of the old customers in the future, mainly relationship customers such as Fifth Brother and Zhou Dalian in the county town, and a few from the city who had been fetching beef right from the start. Those were considered to have helped us in the beginning, we shouldn’t forget the initial goodwill.

After discussing with everyone, Yan Fei made the decision, "Then that’s decided, from now on they don’t need to come here to fetch the beef, they can do so once it has arrived at the Meat Processing Factory, which saves them quite a bit of distance. As for how much to sell, I’ll leave that entirely up to Brother Fa, you decide according to the sales volume of the beef jerky."

Pang Fa nodded, "Alright, after all, we have seen the cold storage at the Meat Processing Factory, and it’s certainly big enough. Now with so many more workers, added to the Meat Processing Factory’s original production line, our production capacity will definitely increase without a problem."

Xiaohei raised a hand, "I have something to say. Besides beef jerky, we could also sell Cooked Beef. A student from our neighbor’s family who studies away from home brought back a package of what’s called vacuum-packed Sauce Beef, I encountered them when I went home to fetch something yesterday, and they even let me try a bit. The taste is actually just average, but that packaging is not bad at all, I heard it can preserve the quality longer."

Pang Fa immediately noted it down with a pen, "Okay, I’ll find out about this vacuum packaging later on, and see what’s the deal with it. If it works out, I will have to give Xiaohei a big red envelope in return."

Xiaohei laughed, "Okay, I’ll be waiting for it!"

Yan Fei also smiled, "If it really works, you won’t need his red envelope, I’ll give you a big red envelope. You came late this time and missed out on what we were giving away, but if this works out, I’ll make up the gold coins to you."

Upon hearing Yan Fei speak, Xiaohei jumped up, "Nothing else for me then? I’d better hurry back for another run, see if they have any Sauce Beef left, and grab a sample..."

Yan Fei waved his hand, "Go on, go on, if you find it give him some money to buy it, I’ll reimburse you tenfold when you get back."

Heizi casually took out a key from his pocket and threw it over, "Here’s the key, ride Brother Fei’s nice motorcycle, you’ll go faster."

After Xiaohei left, Yan Fei chuckled, "Looks like it could work, if nobody had produced it yet, it would be difficult for us to do so. Their products are already a big hit in the market, we can save some effort!"

The reason why everyone felt the Cooked Beef business was viable also stemmed from a reason. Those who have cooked know that cooked beef shrinks a lot, sometimes a catty of raw beef would result in only half a catty when stewed, if the skills are lacking.

There are two reasons for this, one is the quality of the beef, and the other is mastering the cooking heat. If it’s good beef, and the heat is well controlled, getting six or seven taels from a catty of raw beef is no problem, and if one can get seven or eight taels, or even more, then that person must be an extremely skilled chef.

Of course, this excludes any fraudulent actions, some unscrupulous restaurants use saltpeter to process beef, which makes the beef look good and weigh more, but let’s not talk about that. If Boss Yan’s enterprise still relied on such tricks to thrive, then Old Master Xing, who just got his secure job, would be so ashamed he’d jump into the river.

The beef quality in the ranch was definitely beyond question, top-quality beef combined with the craftsmanship of Old Xing and the other masters at the Meat Processing Factory, the profit margin of Cooked Beef would definitely not be much less than that of beef jerky—for the average person, if there is reliable Cooked Beef for sale, why bother to buy raw beef and stew it from two catties down to one?

The group discussed for a while longer about moving the equipment, the sound of the motorcycle grew from a distance and stopped in front of the office building.

Xiaohei came in beaming with joy, "That family had some left over for the New Year celebration, and I snatched it up!"

It was really just a piece of Cooked Beef in plastic packaging, but the packaging bag was tightly clinging to the beef, leaving no gaps. Everyone understood at a glance, this vacuum packaging simply meant there was no air inside! Now, there were other food products on the market that were packaged like this, it’s just that everyone hadn’t paid attention before.

Once everyone had finished looking, Yan Fei tore the packaging directly open, tore off a piece of beef, chewed it twice in his mouth, then spat it out, "Processed with saltpeter, as long as we get the packaging down, we’ll push these guys out of the business."

The others followed him, each tearing off a chunk to taste, but couldn’t discern much. Xiang Rui also ate a piece and curiously asked, "How could you tell by eating it?"

Yan Fei chuckled, "Your tastes aren’t up to it, I not only spotted the saltpeter, but I also knew they added preservatives to this piece of beef. You can tell from the production date on the label! With such inferior goods, once we start producing our items, they won’t be able to sell theirs."
