Chapter 2126: The Cattle Breed Introduction Case that Caused a Sensation at the Cowboy Festival
The place where Old Orson hosted a banquet for Li Han and his entourage was located in Orson Manor, which was several times larger than St. Andy Manor. It could even be called Castle Manor, a manor castle that had been built for more than a hundred years. (pinyin of bi qi wu)
“These are some of the best estates in Texas,” Linna said.
"The light estate is worth more than 200 million US dollars."
"It's really good."
Li Han said with a smile. "I like the atmosphere here."
"Grandpa Orson."
Dudu has been thinking about snacks and has lost interest in the big castle manor.
"It seems, Han, Orson has a lot of plans for you." Lingna said with a smile.
Old Orson actually greeted him at the second door in person. Although it was not considered a front door, the courtesy was a bit too much.
"you are too polite."
Li Han quickly stopped the carriage, got out of the car and walked over quickly, saying.
"The juniors inside are chatting, and I have some free time, so I came out to greet you. Pandora, I prepared the best snacks today." Orson said with a smile like an ordinary old man.
"Hee hee, Pandora eats two slices of barbecue at noon, and her stomach is empty, so she can eat a lot of snacks." The villain said, patting his belly.
"OK."
"Sir, it's time to invite the guests into the house." The butler reminded in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, come in and talk."
"BBQ?"
The little man called Dudu as soon as he walked into the small yard behind the manor.
"Grandpa Orson is back."
"I'd like to see the person Grandpa Orson personally greets."
"Delina, your barbecue seems to be for entertaining guests."
Dai Lina, the young barbecue master, waited for Li Han and his party to walk into the yard.
The four or five young people here were slightly stunned.
Why are there several young people and children?
Dai Lina didn't expect to meet Li Han and others so soon.
Delina smiled and said to the people around her. "Help me take a look, I'll go over there."
"Delina, you know the person who came."
"Yes, two barbecue chef friends." Delina said with a smile.
"Barbecue chef?"
Several young people looked puzzled. Grandpa Orson went to pick up some barbecue masters. This is impossible. Delina is known as the youngest barbecue master. She didn't see grandpa, so she went out to greet him.
Li Han was also a little surprised. There were only a few young people in the small yard, and it was a coincidence that he met Delina the day before yesterday.
"Han, Pandora, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
"yes."
Li Han said with a smile.
"Sister, are you barbecuing?"
The little Dudu blinked his big eyes and asked.
"yes."
"You know each other, that's even better. Little Delina, help me greet Han, Pandora and grandpa. Grandpa is ready to have snacks." Orson looked kind and held Dudu in one hand and the baby in the other, leading Ma Leah, like an ordinary old man.
Several young people looked at Li Han and his group with surprised expressions. "Are these people really barbecue masters?"
"Absolutely not."
Li Han originally thought it was a large cocktail party, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a family dinner, and several young people were the grandchildren of Orson.
The current owner of Orson Ranch hurried back ten minutes before the family dinner. "Things may go beyond my expectations." Lingna whispered.
Unexpectedly, the current owner of Orson Ranch came back in a hurry.
After dinner, Old Orson left with Dudu and a few other people. Delina accompanied Jennifer and others. The owners of Orson Ranch, Jonathan Orson and Li Han came to the bar.
Jonathan opened a bottle of red wine and poured two glasses. Li Han took a glass and sat down. Old Orson had just mentioned to Li Han that Orson Ranch wanted to introduce Hank cattle.
"How many will be introduced in the first batch?"
Li Han picked up the wine glass and asked.
"Five hundred." Jonathan actually didn't want to import Hank cattle. Orson cattle have always been good in the Texas market.
Old Orson and Jonathan discussed that the advantage of Hank cattle over Orson cattle is that they can enter the high-end market, not only in Texas, but also in the entire United States, and even in large markets such as European markets and Asia and China.
Orson cattle can only live in one place, which is extremely detrimental to the development of Orson ranch.
Li Han thought for a while, five hundred breeding cattle, one hundred thousand US dollars, it would cost fifty million US dollars. But these are not too much for Orson Ranch. "Five hundred Hank cattle, I need to inquire."
"Saint Andy Farm just introduced 500 breeding cattle from Hank Farm some time ago." Li Han said.
Jonathan, unexpectedly, Li Han started to hold it and frowned slightly. "Three months."
"no problem."
Li Han smiled and nodded.
On the way back, Natalie kept mumbling. "Han, you are really lucky."
"That's not luck."
Li Han said. "Five hundred breeding cattle, $50 million, is actually not much."
"That's not much."
Natalie felt that this was simply a sky-high price.
“This is the first time Hank Cattle has sold cattle on such a large scale.”
Li Han said. "Compared to Wagyu cattle, five hundred head are worth more than this."
Hank cattle need to gain a reputation and need large ranches like Orson.
The next day, the San Andy Farm and the Orson Ranch reached a cooperation. The news that the San Andy Farm would provide the Orson Ranch with 500 Hank breeding cattle within three months exploded like a bombshell.
Hundreds of ranchers and farmers were surprised and couldn't believe it was true. "The news that Orson Ranch purchased cattle from St. Andy Farm is really true. Orson cattle are one of the best cattle breeds in Texas."
"Yes, in this livestock competition, Osun cattle won the overall first place, and St. Andy Farm only won the second place."
"Hank Bull, is there anything special?"
"Taste, I think of it, Hank's Beef is the only one that has reached the highest level of excellence in the taste evaluation."
St. Andy's Farm is famous. In the barbecue area, the St. Andy's Farm barbecue truck is surrounded by many cowboys.
Tasting Hank's Beef has become an essential ritual for participating in this Stampede.
As it attracts more and more people, especially gourmets and barbecue masters, Delina is one of them. "This is Hank's beef. God, this is the most delicious beef I have ever eaten from Wagyu beef."
"No wonder old Orson would choose Hank's beef. Compared with Hank's beef, Orson's beef is one level worse." Delina muttered in her heart. The cunning old Orson has done something admirable.
It takes a lot of courage to resolutely give up Orson beef and choose Hank beef, but Delina feels that it is a wise thing to do. Hank beef may still have a long way to go before it is famous like Wagyu beef.
But in terms of taste, they are even the same, which is surprising.
Gourmets expressed their feelings one after another, and beef comparable to Wagyu appeared.
This was the front page headline of the Houston Food News the next day, St. Andy Farms, with its Hank Cow, really made a name for itself at the Stampede.
"Boss, there's not enough beef."
On the third day, there was a shortage of beef in the barbecue truck, and Li Han was helpless. "Reduce the roasting time and stick to it for another two days."
"I'm going to see if I have any extra beef in my barbecue truck."
Li Han said.
In fact, Li Han used a lot of beef in the past two days. Fortunately, there was still some space. Li Han took nearly 200 pounds from the space and put it in the barbecue truck. "No, this much is not enough for two days."
"Turn off both cars first."
Li Han said.
"Yes, boss."
"Han, what's wrong? Why did the car drive away?" Natalie muttered.
“Not enough beef. ”
Li Han said with a wry smile. "I didn't expect so many people."
"Han, look at the newspaper." Natalie said with a smile. "You'll understand."
“Comparable to Wagyu beef?”
Li Han smiled bitterly. "These people really write whatever they think of."
"Isn't this great? Besides, Hank's beef tastes really good, not worse than Wagyu beef." Natalie said. "I promise, Hank Beef is really delicious."
"I also know that Hank's beef is not inferior to Wagyu beef, but now, in terms of reputation, Hank's beef is far inferior to Wagyu beef. Writing this way, I don't know how much criticism it will attract."
Li Han said.
Sure enough, the next day, many city newspapers and media began to ridicule the Houston Food News. Regarding Hank Beef, this name is unknown. Many people have not even heard of beef. Talking about it is as disdainful as talking about beef.
