Chapter 21: Kobe Danma Cow

The Hyland chickens were struggling to walk on the grass, they were not as big as their fists, and the grass was too high for the chicks.

These are the hundreds of little ones with yellow feathers that Guo Mu bought yesterday in Norton Town, wandering around in groups, and the small insects and grass seeds on the ground alone are enough for them to eat, so they can be stocked.

Xiao Han Xuan was lying under the eaves reading a book, today was a sunny day, the sun was very comfortable shining on his body, and Fat Ding was curled up beside the boy, his big tail sweeping around.

These days it has grown a lot, the yellow-white fluff is smooth to the touch, and at this moment it is grabbed by the tail by the owner, and looks back innocently at the boy with big eyes.

Han Xuan put the book in his hand on the table, and on the cover was written "Norwegian Wood", which had just been published by Haruki Murakami in 87.

A few days ago, with the SOS convenience store truck, a lot of things were delivered, and several large boxes of books were personally selected by Mr. Han and prepared for his grandson, and this is just one of them.

The book has been read, and the little boy sighs in his heart the complicated love between Watanabe and Naoko and Midoriko, and the father in the house sees his expression, sits next to him and picks up the book, flips through a few pages and laughs: "Yo, son, you still look at this type." ”

The boy replied angrily, "I'm not too young, okay." ”

"yes, they're seven years old. ”

The boy rolled his eyes wide to his father, bent down to hold Fat Ding in his arms, leaned back, and leaned back in the chair to bask in the sun.

It's been three days since Albert left, and there has only been one phone call in between.

He told Han's father that he had spent $1.4 million to buy 1,350 Angus calves at Telley Ranch.

Half of them are 300 to 400 catties of half-sized cattle, and they can be sold in six to eight months, which is very cost-effective.

Limousin cattle also heard that there is a ranch that sells these calves, and now a batch is about to be slaughtered, as long as the price is negotiated.

And the Danma breeders that Han Xuan cared about the most have never heard from them, and Albert went to Great Falls City in person, and it seems that he will soon know the exact situation.

Nowadays, Wagyu beef is only produced in Japan, and unlike Australia, North America, and South America, as was the case later, "Kobe beef" is everywhere.

Today, there are only two three-Michelin-starred restaurants in the U.S. that use Kobe beef, which is often out of stock because it is so scarce. As long as it can be farmed in large quantities, the market for Kobe beef is very promising.

It's a pity that it's useless to be in a hurry, Han Xuan stretched his waist and soon fell asleep in a daze.

The father turned his head to look at him, quietly covered him with a blanket, and walked in the direction of the sheepfold.

I don't know how long it took, but the sun was about to set soon when it hung obliquely in the treetops.

Han Xuan was woken up by a ringtone, no one was at home, and the phone kept ringing, so he walked to the house with his eyes half-open and picked it up.

"This is the Snow Mountain Ranch family, who are you. The boy asked, reaching out and rubbing his eyes, picking up the microphone.

A British accent came from inside: "I'm Albert, boy, is your dad home?"

"They don't seem to be there, what's the matter?"

"When your father comes back and tells him that I have found the Japanese man and that his cattle are not for sale. If you need to, please come to Great Falls as soon as possible, he will be back to Japan tomorrow at noon. ”

"Yes, Albert. Putting down the phone, Han Xuan turned around and walked to the door before he came to his senses, looked at the table in a daze, turned around, and ran outside.

I asked a construction worker on the side of the road, and I knew that my father was on the side of the farm, and I met Han Qianshan who happened to be returning home halfway there.

"Dad, Albert has found the Japanese!" the boy gasped.

Han's father patted his son on the back and asked curiously, "Why do you care about those cows, aren't they all in the house?"

"Oh, you don't care, let's go. ”

"Stinky boy, I don't care who cares, where are I going?

……

On both sides of the straight road, there are unknown green shrubs, and the branches and leaves are full of small white flowers, which is very beautiful.

A huge vole crossed the road, and suddenly there was a roar of a motor on the right side, and a red figure quickly passed over its head, scaring the vole into stupe, and it took a long time to leave trembling.

The evening breeze blows on the body, and the sky is the afterglow of the sunset, surrounded by fiery red circles, covering the father and son.

Han Qianshan had a dark toad mirror on the bridge of his nose, and he was a little confused at this time, he was still at home half an hour ago, why was he going to the Great Falls City now. The culprit who caused this incident was facing the wind at this time, raised his head, let his long hair fly, and shouted loudly: "I am the king of the world!"

Before the childish voice could be heard, it was muffled by Ferrari, and only the father next to him could hear it.

"If you are the king of the world, then I am not the emperor?" Han Qianshan replied to him, and Xiao Han Xuan was suddenly silent.

It was almost half past seven when we arrived at Great Rapids, which happened to be the most crowded time, and the narrow city roads were a little congested.

Named after the Missouri River Falls, the Falls of the Missouri River is the industrial, commercial and financial center of northern Montana's agricultural, animal husbandry, and mining districts, and it sounds like a big name, but it is actually inhabited by only tens of thousands of people.

The Ferrari's fiery red body attracted a lot of attention, and pedestrians watched it slowly drive into the Holiday Inn, and then continued to move forward, sighing at the evil dollar on their lips, but envious in their hearts.

In the hotel, Masao Takeda drank alone.

The trip to the United States was not what he had expected, but it was true that the horse cow was famous in Japan and Asia, and that few people in the United States had even heard of it, and one rancher had kicked him out as a liar.

The Billy Moore of BrokenB Ranch was even more shameless, refusing to add a penny at $35,000, and being poked in the backbone by his hometown for 200 heads, and he didn't know what would happen if he wanted 600 heads.

A research company was interested, but they were going to pay in installments, which he couldn't promise. He raised his head and drank a glass of rum, and was just about to continue packing his luggage when the doorbell suddenly rang.

"I don't need room service, thank you!"

Hearing this lame Japanese English, Han Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at the door, it seemed that he had not found the wrong person.

"We're here to talk to you about business. Albert said loudly through the door, and when he saw the attendant in the corridor looking at him, he became quiet: "You're selling Danma cattle, aren't you?"

The door soon opened, and Masao Takeda half-covered the door, looked at them and asked, "You want to buy it?"

"Yes, I'm the owner of the Snow Mountain Ranch, maybe you haven't heard, it's 80,000 acres now. Han Qianshan shook hands with him and spoke.

The Japanese in front of him became interested and opened the door: "Please come in and sit, it's a bit messy, I'm sorry, are you South Korean or Chinese?"

Masao Takeda brought them chairs, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, there was not enough in the room.

The little boy was held in his arms by Han Qianshan and replied for his father: "We are from Huaxia. ”

"I've been there a few times in the past and it's changed a lot in the last two years. To be able to buy such a large ranch in the United States, you are a very capable person. ”

"Where. Father Han didn't explain either, and continued: "How many kinds of cattle are you going to sell?"

"About 200 heads, it depends on how much the customs can release, this time I only brought one over, which ones are too troublesome for epidemic inspection, how much do you need?" Takeda Masao sat upright and looked at Han Qianshan, as if looking at him.

Albert couldn't make up his mind, turned his head and asked the employer with his eyes, and said slowly, "Let's go see how it goes." ”

Takeda Masao nodded, got up and walked to the door, and turned back to a few people: "Please come with me, it's downstairs." ”

The lights were on in the parking lot, and near the exit, the door of a van was opened, revealing a languishing black bull inside.

"I haven't had a break these days, so it's not in good spirits. Masao Takeda hurriedly explained, as if he was afraid that the buyer would be disappointed.

The boy stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and it was hard to imagine that this humble black cow could produce Kobe beef comparable to foie gras, truffles, and caviar.

It has a 6-level frost drop in fat and a 4 or 5 grade in fat color and quality, and 100 grams of 5A meat now sells for $70, making it a real gold mine.

Han Qianshan looked at his son, and when he saw Han Xuan nodding, he asked, "How much do they cost?"

Such a simple sentence made Takeda Masao struggle for a long time, and then he gritted his teeth: "Fifty-five thousand dollars, no, only fifty-thousand!"

"Isn't this too expensive?" Albert saw that Han Qianshan didn't speak, and thought that he thought the price was too high, so he immediately said helpfully.

On the side, Xiao Han Xuan looked at Takeda Masao's expression like a fly, and suddenly laughed.
