Chapter 973 Why is beef so expensive?
Eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls is probably something that everyone has fantasized about. But it has to be said that the novels and TV dramas of that era also played a very important influence. People who have read "Water Margin" all want to go to a store and order a few taels of cooked beef and a few bowls of wine, and then go up the mountain to fight tigers when drunk. But later they found out that cooked beef is really fucking expensive!
It can be said that at that most immature and passionate age, a boy who wanted to be a hero went to the restaurant excitedly, and then understood for the first time what it meant that a penny could make a hero fail.
"...Master, why is beef so expensive?" At this time Heath was explaining some tips of cooking to Xiaoyao. It was not known what they were talking about, but Xiaoyao suddenly asked this question. Heath was stunned by her, and it took him a long time to react why Xiaoyao suddenly asked this question. After all, Heath remembered that he was just talking about the tips of buying vegetables, but he did not expect Xiaoyao to suddenly become interested in beef. However, Xiaoyao's question was interesting. Heath was also very curious about this question. After all, beef is really expensive, and some beef by-products are even ridiculously expensive.
"Because the cost of raising most beef is high, and some beef products may only yield 500 grams of product from one kilogram of beef, so the price naturally goes up." Heath thought of a kind of street food in his previous life, a food that was very delicious but also a pain in the wallet. That food was beef jerky, an expensive food that weighed as much as thirty or forty-one taels. Heath had gone to ask about the price because he had smelled the delicious roasted jerky, but the other party asked for thirty-eight yuan per tael, which made Heath's eyes almost pop out.
How much is one liang? One liang is one hundred grams, which means that if you buy it by kilogram, one kilogram of beef jerky will cost three hundred and eighty yuan, which is an incredible price. At least many people will consider it before buying it. The reason why beef jerky is so expensive is naturally because of the price of beef. In addition, when making beef jerky, the water content of the beef disappears, resulting in a significant decrease in weight. Therefore, the price of beef jerky is naturally high, even more expensive than ordinary seafood.
After all, beef is different from pork. Nowadays, common animals such as pigs and chickens have been bred into special meat-producing breeds. These breeds of animals do not have any special features. Their biggest feature is that they grow fast and produce a lot of meat. With more production, the price will naturally go down. However, cattle are different. Although there are beef cattle, it takes time for beef cattle to grow up to the point where they can be slaughtered. So these costs are there, and it is naturally difficult for the price to drop to the level of pork.
"Oh~" Xiaoyao nodded, not quite understanding. She probably understood some of it, but not completely. After all, she was still a child . Children under ten years old always have a jumping and bizarre personality. There is nothing strange about this. Heath was like this when he was a child. He was still in class, but his thoughts inexplicably drifted to some strange places.
"What dish do you want to learn to cook?" Heath looked at Xiaoyao with a smile. He planned to let Xiaoyao try the joy of cooking. After all, learning anything requires some fun. If there is only suffering but no fun, it will not be so easy to persist. Heath once thought that if when he was studying, he could see that his understanding of the subject improved a little every time he studied hard, then would he have been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University long ago?
However, Heath also knew that this was impossible. It could only be said that at school age, the minds of boys and girls were always difficult to guess. They were full of curiosity about everything in the world, just like the shining gems that have not yet been smoothed out. However, the words of adults whose edges have been smoothed out by life and society are always so depressing, and naturally they cannot be recognized by boys and girls.
"Eh? Master, can I learn to cook?" Xiaoyao was a little confused. Didn't they agree to practice basic skills?
"Of course, cooking is cooking, and practicing basic skills is practicing basic skills. They are different. Cooking can fill your stomach, while practicing basic skills can make you eat delicious food easily." Heath smiled. How difficult can it be to be a chef? Even if you don't go to special training, you can learn it by watching your parents cook at home. How difficult can it be to make fried rice with eggs? It's not difficult at all, and it can even be described as simple. But how to sell a bowl of ordinary fried rice with eggs and make people feel particularly satisfied? This requires more practice.
"Then I...I..." Xiaoyao was confused. She didn't know what she should learn.
The Farfetch'd duck at the side was watching with a smile. It remembered that when it first started learning, it seemed that it wanted to learn how to make pancakes, but later...
"How about making a Baumkuchen with me?" Heath looked at Xiaoyao with a smile. It was normal for children to not know what they wanted to do, but most girls, or most of them, after all, people in this world have all kinds of weird tastes. It's hard to say that there are people who don't like desserts.
Most girls like to eat desserts. Cakes, ice cream and all kinds of sweets are so popular. Sugar can make people feel happy, which is probably why many men like them too.
“Huh? Can I make it?” Xiaoyao was a little unconfident. She had eaten the Baumkuchen cake that her mother bought for her. It tasted very good, and it was even better when paired with milk. Xiaoyao’s favorite was the Baumkuchen cake from a shop called Pasture Cake. Paired with a big can of delicious milk, it would satisfy her for the whole day. But she didn’t know if she could make it, after all, her mother didn’t know how to make a Baumkuchen cake.
"It's very simple. I'll teach you." Heath was very calm. To make the Baumkuchen cake, all you need are hands.
Mr. Fujiyama has also gone back. Hiss is not open today, so naturally he doesn't need to entertain guests. He can patiently teach his little apprentice. When this little apprentice becomes successful in the future, he can be lazy. It is hard to say whether he can enjoy a peaceful life at that time. After all, in the world of Pokémon, the relationship between teachers and students is very strong. Unless one of them is really unhuman, there will basically be no problem.
Heath is also very confident in Xiaoyao's character.
