Chapter 149 Fire
After visiting the farm, it was already half past five.

Jiang Ning took the two of them to New Town Hotel for dinner and arranged accommodation for them.

I went upstairs and sat down in the box.

Lin Zheming asked: "Is this hotel also yours?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "It was sent by the county."

Lin Zheming was stunned: "A gift?"

Jiang Ning explained the origin of the hotel.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Zheming said: "That's how it is in my hometown, so everyone goes out to develop."

Jiang Ning asked, "What happened when you came back this time?"

Lin Zheming said: "I came back to visit relatives and do some things."

Cao Bin asked, "Do you want my land?"

Jiang Ning asked: "What is the cost of running a farm in Australia?"

Cao Bin said: "The cost is very high. Labor and equipment are expensive. Water and electricity are expensive. The expenses are huge, but the expenses are all on the surface. There are no hidden expenses. The land is a permanent property right. I can only say that there are pros and cons!"

Jiang Ning asked: "Does anyone want it? If someone wants it, you can sell it first."

Cao Bin said: "There are a few people asking."

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you have water rights on that land?"

Cao Bin shook his head: "Without water rights, it's not something that can be won with just 10 or 20 million."

Jiang Ning said: "It's hard to do without water rights."

Cao Bin said: "The price of land with water rights is also high."

Jiang Ning spoke frankly: "I want to buy some land outside, but I won't go out. At most, I'll go and take a look occasionally. It's a hassle to buy the land and then do something with it."

Cao Bin said: "We can hire someone to take care of it."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I've been busy lately. I'm going to the United States at the end of the month to take my wife's sister there for medical treatment. I've also started a big project with the county. I don't have time to think about these things for now. I'll go over there when I have time!"

Lin Zheming asked: "What big project are you and the local authorities working on?"

Jiang Ning said: "We are going to build a bigger farm with the county, a farm of more than 300,000 acres."

Cao Bin's eyelids twitched: "I should be more cautious about the investment environment in my hometown."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "If it was before, I would definitely not do it, but this Bei'an boss is different from the previous ones. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a once-in-a-millennium boss. The current investment environment in Bei'an is not bad. If you have spare money, you can also consider investing in Bei'an."

Lin Zheming asked: "Isn't it a bit exaggerated to say that it only happens once in a thousand years?"

Jiang Ning told the two of them about the series of actions that Boss Lu took when he came to Bei'an.

The two looked incredulous.

Cao Bin expressed his doubt: "Is there really such a person?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "You can spend a few days in Bei'an and find out."

……

When we returned to the villa in the evening, Feng Yu and Feng Xue were still downstairs enjoying the cool air.

Feng Yu asked him, "They want to talk to you about something, right?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Cao Bin's land is not easy to sell, so he wants me to take over."

Feng Yu asked, "How much is it?"

Jiang Ning said: "1500 million dollars, about million!"

Feng Yu calculated and was surprised: "Such a large piece of land, 7000 million is not expensive, right?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "If you calculate it based on the land prices here, it's definitely not expensive. One acre of land is only one hundred dollars, and it's permanent property. But whether an Australian farm is valuable depends on whether it has water rights. His farm has no water rights and is purely dependent on the weather. It's not worth much. In fact, the larger the farm in Australia, the lower the unit price. On the contrary, some small farms with water rights and good locations have much higher unit prices."

Feng Yu asked, "Can't we dig a well?"

Jiang Ning said: "No, the salt content of groundwater in Australia is too high to be used for irrigation."

Feng Yu was puzzled: "With such a large piece of land, even if you rely on the weather for food, you can still raise a lot of cattle and sheep, right?"

Jiang Ning said, "It's not that simple. A big farm is useless. Only water rights can create value. Without water rights, we have to rely on the weather for food, just like us here. The value created by the land is limited. Otherwise, why would he sell the land?"

Feng Yu said: "Then don't buy it."

Jiang Ning said: "I still have to buy land. I have a small goal now, which is to become a big landlord. When I have time, I will buy more land outside. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. No one knows what the situation of my hometown will be in the future."

Feng Yu smiled with curved eyebrows: "Okay, Mr. Jiang finally has a goal."

Jiang Ning leaned back and summed up the past: "When people are in danger of losing their future, they want to live a stable life. But when they are really stable, they feel that it is meaningless. So they still have to set a small goal for themselves, otherwise it will be too boring."

Feng Yu nodded and said, "Then you should work hard."

Jiang Ning was very excited: "The United States has large farms and ranches just like Australia. Let's go to the United States at the end of the month and take a look. If there is suitable land, we will buy it. In the future, I want to buy land in various countries and become a super landlord."

Feng Yu smiled and nodded, just listening.

……

The next day.

Jiang Ning took the two of them around in a helicopter.

There aren't many tourist attractions in Bei'an, so I just took a look around.

I went to the city for another day and visited several attractions.

It took two days to get the person on the train.

On Thursday, Jiang Ning and Boss Lu went to the city.

Met the big boss.

The previous boss carried out large-scale demolition and reconstruction. He built a new city, but no one went there. The houses built were enough for a million people to live in, but he left the city with nothing except huge debts and a bunch of unfinished buildings, so he was fired.

This boss is quite pragmatic.

The main thing is that I can't do anything even if I want to.

In recent years, we have been working hard to improve the living environment and have done some practical things.

The big boss asked Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, the success of Xianling Farm has provided us with a new idea. Your plan is very feasible, but there is a problem. For such a large area, can the water supply from the small sluice reservoir and wells solve the water shortage problem? The relevant departments have made an estimate. According to your plan, the water gap will be very large."

Jiang Ning asked: "Can the city provide water?"

The big boss said, "It's not practical to transfer water from the city."

Lu Jingwei asked: "What instructions do you have?"

The big boss said: "The city also has no shortage of land resources. I think it is more appropriate to put this project in the city."

……

On the way back to Bei'an, Jiang Ning was still thinking about this.

It's a bit unfair for a father to snatch his son's project.

But it seems normal. Everyone wants to develop, so of course they want to grab good projects.

No wonder it has been delayed.

It turned out to be waiting here!
When he first wanted the land, everything went smoothly without encountering any obstacles.

Wasteland is worthless, but its reclamation is encouraged.

With the full support of the county, things went very smoothly.

Now Xianling Farm has become a treasure trove. Countless people are jealous. The county also wants to develop it. No wonder the city is tempted. The city also has no shortage of land, large tracts of wasteland, and no shortage of water. The conditions are much better than those in the county.

If we could replicate the success of Fairy Farm, life would be better.

The masters have also achieved some impressive results, so how can they not be tempted?

But these things are not Jiang Ning's concern.

How to deal with the city is Boss Lu’s business.

He didn't care and drove back to Bei'an after meeting the boss.

Boss Lu hasn't come back yet and he has to hold a meeting.

The farm's Lu Yue yellow apricots are ripe, sweet and delicious.

Jiang Ning asked his family to come and pick apricots, and the unit's reservations also began.

The trees have grown a lot bigger this year and the yield is obviously much higher than last year.

In addition to some southern fruits such as lychees and bayberries, the farm also planted strawberries this year.

Interplanted in the orchard, in furrows.

Yang Qiuyan also came over after hearing the news. After tasting an apricot, her eyes lit up: "Boss Jiang, how much are these apricots for?"

Jiang Ning said: "Three yuan per pound."

Yang Qiuyan hissed, "It's really expensive."

Jiang Ning said, "Three yuan is still expensive. How much do apricots cost in the market now?"

Yang Qiuyan said: "That's retail, you're wholesale, how can they be the same!"

Jiang Ning didn't want to pay attention to her. This woman was so shameless.

As long as they can take advantage, they will not care about their shame.

Yang Qiuyan walked around the orchard for a long time, looking at the dazzling array of fruits with her eyes full of light.

She has tasted the quality of the fruit in the orchard.

It would be great if I could get so many high-quality fruits at a low price.

Are you still worried about business being bad?

There seem to be more rabbits on the farm.

The base number is too large, so the reproduction rate is terrifying.

The number of rabbits is visibly increasing.

Jiang Ning caught a little rabbit that had just come out of the nest and was not very clever. He pulled its ears and spread its legs to take a look. It was a male, so he let it go. He caught another one, which was a female. He caught a total of ten and counted them.

Six females and four males.

In another three or four months, these little rabbits will also be able to reproduce.

By next year, I wonder how many rabbits there will be on the farm.

The processing companies that the county attracted came again and have been arguing with the county.

I don’t know when I can settle down.

The farm had already opened up its supply, and the price of a rabbit had dropped to eighty yuan.

Encourage Bei'an people to eat rabbits instead of those feed chickens.

Unfortunately, it was just a drop in the bucket, so the people of Bei'an ate to their heart's content.

How much can be eaten?

After all, rabbit is just a niche ingredient and cannot compare to pork.

At most, I could only sell about 300 a day.

Compared with the terrifying reproduction rate of farm rabbits, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

Lao Yang came up with an idea and suggested holding a food competition.

The specific process is as follows.

The farm is open for one day so that people from Bei'an can come in and visit.

Then have a rabbit banquet and let everyone eat for free.

If the food is good, maybe he will buy it.

It is not even limited to Bei'an, people from surrounding counties and cities can come.

When the time comes, shoot a few short videos and do some promotion in advance.

Jiang Ning thought this was a good idea and agreed immediately.

Lao Yang was just getting ready when he received a call from the park.

Several processing companies have been finalized and will sign the agreement next week.

Finally hearing the good news, Jiang Ning felt that his luck was good this year.

I went to the ranch and saw the calves that were full of food.

Jiang Ning suddenly wanted to eat beef. The oldest cow on the farm had been raised for a year, but he had never eaten it before. He also didn't know how the beef from these cows that only fed Chinese herbs and no feed would taste. So he picked the fattest one and had it slaughtered to try.

It is easy to slaughter sheep, and many people know how to do it.

But slaughtering the cattle is a bit troublesome because no one on the farm knows how to do it.

I specially found a butcher from outside and he charged 100 yuan for slaughtering a cow.

The cowhide has to be given to others.

Jiang Ning felt that it was a big loss, and the boasting seemed to be quite valuable.

Let a few people who know how to slaughter sheep learn it well, because you need to hire someone to slaughter a cow.

That's totally wrong.

This cow cost more than 500 yuan when it was bought last year. It is a nearly adult calf. After a year of feeding, it has become strong and round, and you can't even see its spine. It weighs a little over kilograms when it's alive, and is ready to be eaten.

Watching the cow being laid down and tied up, seven or eight people held it down tightly.

Jiang Ning was still a little worried: "Can you guys do it?"

My uncle Chen Xuefeng said, "How about you come?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Jiang Ning rolled up his sleeves and said, "Give me the bull's head. I'll catch it!"

The worker who was holding the bull's head immediately gave way.

Everyone knows that he is very strong and not polite at all.

Jiang Ning stepped forward, squatted down, and grabbed the bull's horns with both hands.

He pressed his left knee against the cow's neck and said, "You can use the knife now."

The butcher we hired was worried: "Can you do it?"

Chen Xuefeng laughed: "He can throw you up into the sky."

The butcher didn't believe it, but didn't say much.

He sharpened the knife with the knife stick and squatted beside Jiang's body.

He pulled aside the hair on the cow's neck and rubbed it on without hesitation.

The movements are so skillful, as if they have been honed through thousands of trials.

The big yellow ox struggled violently.

The struggle before death was so powerful that it is beyond description.

Even after tying the cow with several ropes, the workers who were holding down its body and legs still could hardly hold it down.

Look at Jiang Ning again.

The two hands grasped the bull's horns tightly like iron hoops.

The blue veins on his arms look like chopsticks.

The bull's head didn't move at all.

The butcher looked surprised, this boss was so strong.

Blood was gushing out like a fountain. A worker held a large basin and squatted in front of the cow's neck to collect the blood.

One large basin was not enough to hold all the food, so he took out another large basin.

Two large basins full of beef were placed there, but the cows were dead.

Li Fumin and his wife took the cow's blood away and went into the house to fry it.

The butcher changed the knife, untied the rope, and started skinning the cow.

In less than five minutes, a piece of cowhide was peeled off.

Jiang Ning was amazed by what he saw. It is said that every field has its top talents.

The conclusions drawn by the ancients always make sense.

It takes farm workers ten minutes to skin a sheep.

It takes less than five minutes to skin a cow.

The gap is really huge.

After skinning the cow, it’s time to gut it.

The workers hung the cow up and the butcher cut open its belly with a knife.

Then a pile of steaming offal came out.

Jiang Ning quickly instructed: "Clean your stomach and leave it for me."

The two workers agreed and carried the viscera away.

After cleaning the internal organs, the first pot of beef and mutton was fried.

Li Fumin came out and invited everyone to eat cow blood.

Fresh cow blood and sheep blood are both good things. Not only are they high in nutritional value, but they are also delicious. These things cannot be preserved. The fresher the cow blood is, the more delicious it will be when fried. So after receiving the cow blood, Li Fumin fried it immediately.

The stove is set up at the door.

Dozens of people gathered around a big iron pot, each eating while standing with a pair of chopsticks.

Jiang Ning was treated the best, and Li Fumin took a bowl and filled it with a large bowl for him.

Others can only scoop it directly from the pot with chopsticks.

Chen Xuefeng said, "Bring me a bowl too."

Li Fumin said, "What kind of bowl do you want? It tastes best when you eat with your hands."

Chen Xuefeng glared angrily: "You are such an unreasonable uncle."

Li Fumin smiled and said, "It's ok for the boss to treat you specially, but it's inappropriate for you to treat him specially as well."

The workers were laughing and having fun.

Jiang Ning also found it quite amusing to listen to this. These old guys really knew how to tell jokes.

You know what, cow blood is really delicious.

The cows on the farm have never been fed anything weird. When the beef blood is fried, it has a unique aroma. You can tell how popular it is by looking at the workers wielding chopsticks quickly. If the farm didn't slaughter cows, you wouldn't be able to eat this stuff easily.

You can eat sheep's blood from time to time.

Cow blood is very rare.

It’s a pity that Feng Yu and Feng Xue are not here, so I can’t taste this delicious food.

When the second pot came out, the butcher began to butcher the beef.

Jiang Ning did not forget to instruct: "Take out the tenderloin and the sirloin, and then take out a piece of top loin and eye rib."

The butcher was not happy: "That's a bother, you can take it yourself after that."

Jiang Ning frowned, but he didn't say anything.

My uncle Chen Xuefeng has already cursed: "Bullshit, you are so picky even when you are paid for work. With just these few moves, it's less than an hour, and you want a hundred yuan. I'm giving you the lie. Just take it when I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The butcher looked around and dared not say another word.

Jiang Youxin didn't go to the flight base today, but he also came.

Jiang Ning said to his father, "Dad, you decide how much to give to the relatives."

Jiang Youxin nodded. It was a rare opportunity to slaughter a cow, so relatives would definitely give some as a gift.

Jiang Ning then said to Li Fumin, "Second uncle should also take some and send it to Brother Jun."

Li Fumin agreed with a smile and took Chinese herbal medicine for a year.

This beef looks delicious, bright red.

You can’t buy such good things outside.

Of course I wouldn't refuse if I could get some for my son.

"The rest will be sent to the cafeteria for employees to eat as snacks."

Jiang Ning gave some final instructions and asked the butcher to get him a piece of butter before driving away.

I suddenly wanted to eat hot pot at noon, but there was no hot pot ingredients at home.

I usually eat hotpot outside.

There are some good hotpots outside, but the real good stuff is not available outside. We all know that hotpot fried with butter is the most fragrant, but butter is very expensive. If all the ingredients in the hotpot restaurant were fried with butter, they would have lost all their money long ago.

It would be a good idea to use similar vegetable oil.

If you want to eat good food, you should eat at home.

But Feng Xue didn't know how to cook hot pot ingredients, so Jiang Ning had to ask someone for help.

I drove to Shu Da Xia and went to the kitchen with the boss.

This store is not very formal. Other large hotpot restaurants are franchised brands, and the ingredients and other things are provided by the supply chain. The owner of this store learned the skills himself, cooks the ingredients himself, and also sells hotpot ingredients. Surprisingly, his business is pretty good.

The boss and Jiang Wei are mahjong friends. Jiang Ning is also quite familiar with him and knows a lot of industry insider information.

Ever since he learned that red oil would be recycled, he no longer eats hot pot with red oil.

When we got to the kitchen, the boss started cooking the ingredients himself.

The butter still needs to be processed, which is a rather troublesome process.

Jiang Ning looked at it for a while, then thought that good things should not be enjoyed alone.

So I called my parents, brother and sister-in-law, and went to the villa to eat hotpot.

Beef alone is not enough, hotpot must also have mutton.

So he called again and asked them to slaughter a sheep.

After waiting for an hour, the ingredients were fried.

It comes in four servings, enough for four meals.

Jiang Ning asked the boss to pack up several dishes before returning to the farm.

These are all vegetables that are not available on the farm, such as kelp, lotus root slices, tofu, etc., and some that there is no time to prepare, such as soaked wide and fine noodles. These things have to be soaked in advance, and they cannot be soaked for several hours.

I went downstairs and got in the car, then checked the time.

It was exactly eleven o'clock, and Feng Xue should have been heading back.

Sure enough, when he was almost at the South Gate, he caught up with Feng Xue who was riding an electric scooter back home.

After honking the horn, Jiang Ning didn't stop and drove away first.

When we arrived at the villa, we got out of the car carrying a bunch of plastic bags.

When I walked to the door, I saw two large plastic bags hanging on the door handle.

There is meat inside, one is beef.

The other was lamb, two lamb hind legs, and some lamb chops.

Jiang Ning took off the plastic bag and carried it into the house.

When I got to the kitchen, I took out the lamb chops and chopped them into pieces.

Just as I was looking for the pot, Feng Xue came back.

Seeing that he had set up a stove full of food, she was surprised and gestured to ask him what he wanted to eat for lunch.

Jiang Ning said: "I had someone slaughter a cow and we had beef fat hotpot for lunch."

Feng Xue took out a large electric cooker from the pot.

Jiang Ning asked her to fill the pot with water and put the chopped lamb chops in.

Then start heating.

Feng Xue pointed at the hot pot ingredients.

Jiang Ning said, "I asked the boss of Shu Da Xia to fry it now, using the fat from the cow that was just killed on the ranch. The hot pot ingredients won't be tasty without the broth. When the water boils, use these lamb chops to stew them again, and the broth will be delicious."

Feng Xue nodded and understood.

No matter how much ingredients are used in a pure oil hotpot, it will not be as flavorful as broth.

Of course, it is impossible for those who sell hotpot outside to use top-quality lamb chops as the base.

How much does a serving of hotpot ingredients cost? How much does a pound of mutton cost?

If you do that, the boss will lose a lot of money.

So if you want to eat good food, you have to cook it at home.

It will take a while for the water to boil.

Jiang Ning processed the beef and mutton while Feng Xue started preparing the dishes.

The beef is easy to deal with, as the bones have already been removed.

There are four pieces of meat in total, one tenderloin, one sirloin, which are the most tender parts of the cow, one top loin and one eye meat. The top loin is not the brain meat, but the meat on both sides of the spine of the cow's shoulder and neck. There is fat mixed in the lean meat, like marble patterns. The meat is tender and juicy, with a soft texture and suitable for hot pot.

Eye meat is not eye meat. It is the meat located between the ribs and spine above the front loin of the cow. The meat is fat and lean. It is called eye meat because there is a piece of fat that looks like the eye. It has a soft, tender and juicy texture, and is also a top-quality ingredient for hot pot.

As for tendon meat and the like, Jiang Ning never eats that stuff.

The worst part of a cow is the shank, which is also the least valuable.

Jiang Ning’s favorite is the tenderloin, the meat is so tender.

It has a delicate texture and tastes best.

They are all divided and don't need to be processed in any way.

Just slice it directly.

It is more troublesome to remove the bones of the sheep.

I spent a long time working on a leg of lamb, and only after the water in the pot boiled did I remove all the meat.

Remove the tendons, skin and other messy, hard-to-chew parts, leaving only the pure meat.

Then start slicing.

Feng Xue didn't bother to cook anymore. He stood beside the pot with a spoon and scooped up the blood foam in the pot.

If there is blood foam in the meat, slowly heat it with cold water and the blood foam will be cooked out.

It is necessary to scoop it out in time, otherwise the soup will be ruined after the blood foam mixes with water.

The reason why mutton smells bad is because of these blood foams.

Removing bones is troublesome and requires technical skills.

Jiang Ning is not good at this, so it is quite difficult for him.

But the meat is cut quickly and it will be ready in a few moments.

"Let me do it!"

Jiang Ning took the spoon and scooped up the blood foam for Feng Xue.

While I was busy, there was a roar outside.

I can tell it’s Jiang Dad’s Prado as soon as I hear it.

Sure enough, Jiang's father came in and asked, "Is your mother not here yet?"

Jiang Ning hummed: "I guess he's just waiting to eat when he's ready. He didn't come to help earlier."

Jiang Youxin was speechless, so he went outside to make a phone call: "Why haven't you come yet?"

Zhang Yulan said, “It’s almost there.”

Jiang Youxin said: "If you didn't come earlier to help, I would be waiting for it to be ready and eaten!"

Zhang Yulan was unhappy: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang Youxin said: "It was Jiang Ning who said it, not me."

Zhang Yulan was speechless and hung up the phone.

The son can say the same thing.

But my husband can’t tell.

Jiang Youxin put away his phone and looked out the door, then saw the boss's Envision driving over.

The car stopped in the yard and as soon as the door opened, the granddaughter jumped out first.

"grandfather!"

The little girl is late in speaking, but she is two and a half years old.

He knew everything he needed to know and ran over to his grandfather as soon as he saw him.

Jiang Youxin lifted her up and rubbed her face twice with his stubble.

The little girl refused to do it and struggled to get down while pushing him.

kitchen.

Jiang Ning scooped out the blood foam in the pot and poured the hot pot ingredients into it.

Then cook it together with the lamb chops. The longer it cooks, the more flavorful it becomes.

After Zhang Yulan came in, she started helping Feng Xue pick and wash vegetables.

Chen Huiru has a big belly and looks very exhausted.

It’s been seven months and the baby will be born in two more months.

Now they are also protected persons and are basically not allowed to work.

Jiang Hua is lazier than Jiang Ning and basically never goes into the kitchen.

Jiang Ning also cooks from time to time and experiences the joy of cooking.

Jiang Hua never takes the initiative to do kitchen work unless someone asks him to.

Jiang's father and I were both sitting on the sofa waiting for food.

With Jiang Ma's help, Jiang Ning will have no problems.

So I went out to play with my niece.

When the little girl arrived at the farm, she didn't go into the house, but played happily on the lawn.

When I got to the backyard, I saw water in the swimming pool.

It's like discovering a new world, and I'm eager to try it out.

Jiang's father and Jiang Hua were so scared that they followed her closely, fearing that she would jump down without knowing what was good for her.

After a while, a roar was heard in the front yard.

It's the sound of Big G.

Feng Yu also came back.

When I saw a Prado and an Envision parked in the yard, I knew the whole family was there.

Feng Yu was quite curious about what to eat today and why the whole family came.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw that it was hot pot.

I've been eating light food recently and haven't eaten anything flavorful for a long time.

I was just craving for hotpot, and this hotpot came at the perfect time.

After asking, I found out that the ranch had slaughtered a cow.

The hot pot ingredients are also specially made and smell very fragrant.

After a busy period, everything is almost ready.

The broth was also cooked for half an hour.

So the pot was moved to the dining room and the dishes were served.

A family of eight, big and small, gathered around a round table, preparing to have lunch.

Jiang Ning made a bowl of mashed garlic and scooped up a piece of mutton with chopsticks to taste it.

Really fragrant!

The mutton was put into the pot early and is already cooked.

High-quality lamb with high-quality ingredients is a rare delicacy.

After eating a few slices of mutton, he put a plate of beef into the pot.

Beef cannot be cooked for too long, otherwise the meat will become tougher.

Put it in when you are ready to eat, and scoop it out quickly when it is almost done.

Jiang Ning doesn't like overcooked beef, he likes it medium rare.

When I felt it was almost done, I scooped out a piece and tasted it. It was indeed fresh and delicious.

So he called to his family: "The beef is ready, take it out quickly, otherwise it will be overcooked."

Zhang Yulan scooped up a piece and tasted it: "Cook it a little longer. It's still a little raw. Feng Yu and Chen Huiru, don't eat it yet."

Both of them listened to him and said that pregnant women should not eat half-cooked meat.

Jiang Hua ate a piece of meat and said, "This hot pot is really delicious."

Everyone nodded, it was indeed delicious.

The cost is just a bit high.

A cow and a sheep were slaughtered for this hot pot.

Even an ordinary landlord can’t afford it!

Wait until the beef is cooked.

Zhang Yulan asked, "Why is this beef so tender? It's different from the beef I ate before."

Jiang Ning said, "This is the best meat from the cow. There is only so much of it on a cow. The beef sellers in the market will put at least 400 grams of inedible tendons, skin, and butter in every pound of meat. They won't specifically cut out this good meat to sell."

Jiang Youxin said: "If we cut out the good meat and sell it, how much would it cost? If we sell it too high, no one will buy it. If we sell it too low, the butcher will lose a lot of money. And the remaining bad meat will not be easy to sell either."

Jiang Hua said: "We don't have it here, but there are places in big cities that sell premium cuts of meat, but they are extremely expensive. A pound of beef costs more than a hundred yuan, and it's all frozen meat. I don't know how long it has been frozen."

Jiang Ning said, "That's not good meat. It's all imported and has been frozen for at least half a year, or even several years. Moreover, the slaughtering techniques of foreigners are different from ours. They don't bleed the animals, they just stun them with electricity before slaughtering them. The blood can't be drained out completely. It's fine when it's fresh, but it smells bad after being frozen for a long time. People who don't know would think the meat has gone bad."

Father Jiang was surprised: "Foreigners kill animals without bleeding them?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Foreigners think that killing animals with a knife is unkind, and that using electric shock to stun animals will make them feel no pain."

Dad Jiang was speechless. What a weird logic.

All Chinese people know that animals must be killed alive.

Only by draining the blood first can we avoid leaving dead blood in the meat.

The storage time is long.

Without the dead blood in the meat, it would spoil too easily.

How could the meat be kept?

Even if it is frozen into ice cubes, it will easily deteriorate over time.

No wonder imported meat has a bad smell, turns out the root cause is here.

If the animals are slaughtered alive, they will struggle before dying.

It will accelerate blood loss.

How can you drain all the blood from animals if you electrocute them before slaughtering them?

There will definitely be some parts that cannot be put away cleanly.

Chatting while eating meat.

Jiang Ning cut four plates of meat, two plates of lamb and two plates of beef.

It weighs about four pounds.

As a result, he ate two plates by himself, while the others only ate a little more than one plate.

A plate at home is just a plate, unlike the ones in hot pot restaurants, which look big but only have a thin layer of meat on top and ice cubes underneath. A plate of beef is less than two ounces, and a glutton like him would spend thousands of dollars for a full meal.

When we were almost done eating, the phone rang again.

I took it and looked at it. It was Kong Fangfei calling.

Jiang Ning also thought about why this woman was calling during dinner time.

I picked it up casually: "Hello."

Kong Fangfei's voice was filled with panic: "Boss, my car is on fire."

Jiang Ning was stunned: "What's on fire?"

Kong Fangfei had no choice but to say it again: "My car is on fire."

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why did the car catch fire?"

Kong Fangfei's voice was filled with panic: "I don't know. The county needed a document this afternoon, so I worked overtime. My car was parked downstairs to charge. When I got up to get some water, I saw that the car seemed to be smoking. When I went downstairs, I saw that it was on fire."

Jiang Ning: "..."

Kong Fangfei asked anxiously: "What should I do, boss?"

Jiang Ning didn't know what to do, so he thought for a while and said, "I'll go take a look."

Kong Fangfei had no choice but to say yes.

After hanging up the phone, he saw his family members were looking at him.

Jiang Ning said, "Kong Fangfei's car is on fire. I'll go check it out."

Father Jiang was surprised: "Why did the car catch fire?"

"How could I know!"

Jiang Ning responded with one sentence and then got up and left.

When I drove to the office building, I could see black smoke from a distance.

When they arrived at the yard, they saw a raging fire and billowing black smoke under Kong Fangfei's car.

Kong Fangfei stood far away, holding a fire extinguisher in her hand, spraying dry powder.

But it was useless, it couldn't put out the fire at all.

When he saw Jiang Ning’s car coming, he ran over immediately.

Jiang Ning was also surprised and got out of the car to ask, "Why would there be a fire for no reason?"

Kong Fangfei wanted to cry but had no tears: "I don't know either, what should I do, boss?"

Jiang Ning rubbed his scalp. He had no idea what to do, so he asked, "Did you call the fire department?"

Kong Fangfei said anxiously: "I've called you, I'll be there right away."

Jiang Ning suddenly saw a large area of ​​black burn on the right side of his 570 and asked, "What happened to 570?"

Kong Fangfei said with a sad face: "My car was parked next to the 570, and the 570 was burned black. After I got out of the car, I saw the fire, so I took the key and moved the 570 aside."

Jiang Ning suddenly felt a toothache. This was really an unexpected disaster.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the loss would be too great if the 570 was burned.

As they were talking, a patrol car arrived.

There was a fire truck following behind.

The patrol car braked suddenly and stopped to the side.

Two security guards got out of the car and greeted Jiang Ning, then quickly directed the fire truck to stop. Then the two security guards climbed onto the car, turned on the high-pressure water gun and sprayed it at the burning car.

As a result, the yard was almost turned into a pond.

The fire was not put out.

This fire is weird, just like the Three Flames Fire, it cannot be extinguished by human power.

Kong Fangfei was already in despair when she saw that the fire truck couldn't put out the fire.

Jiang Ning also felt that something was wrong: "Why can't this fire be put out?"

A security guard nearby explained: "This fire is not a fire caused by burning materials in the general sense. It is a fuel phenomenon produced by the chemical reaction of the car's battery. As long as the chemical reaction of the battery does not stop, the fire cannot be extinguished."

Jiang Ning frowned immediately: "How can a battery produce a chemical reaction?"

The security guard explained: "All trams are like this. The current battery technology is not perfect, especially lithium batteries, which are most likely to catch fire when charging. There are many trams that have caught fire, but they have all been restricted by public relations, so people who don't pay attention don't know about it."

Jiang Ning was upset: "I was planning to buy a tram to play with!"

The security guard couldn't help but say, "Don't buy a tram, it's not reliable."

Jiang Ning nodded, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He also planned to buy Feng Xue an electric car after she got her driver's license!

This is so meow...

Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Kong Fangfei wanted to cry, her new car!

It's only been open for a month and it's about to be burned to scrap metal.

I want to cry but I have no tears.

The firefighters who were trying to put out the fire saw that they couldn't put it out, so they had to ask Jiang Ning what to do.

Jiang Ning looked at Kong Fangfei, thought for a while, and then waved his hand: "If you can't put it out, don't bother."

The security team immediately drove the fire truck away.

Everyone stood in the yard and watched the car fuel from a distance.

This phenomenon is not common.

After a while, people from the insurance company also came.

Looking at the burning car, he was speechless.

They have first-hand information and know how ridiculous this thing is.

If you can't put out the fire, you can only wait.

After waiting for half an hour, the fire was finally put out when only an iron shell was left.
