My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

On this day, Xiao Feng finally came to Resco Island, which is known as the largest island ranch in the Copper Country.

This island is located south of Punta Arenas, the southernmost city in the Copper Country, close to the Strait of Magellan. It has been engaged in island farming before.

But in recent decades, because young people have left one after another, the environment on the island has deteriorated greatly.

Punta Arenas is already the southernmost city in the Copper Country, and not far to the south, across the Strait of Magellan is the South Pole.

The natural scenery here is very good, but the environment is not that good. It is cold all the year round, and the life on the island is very boring, so not many young people are willing to live on the island.

Most young people choose to live in mainland China or in more prosperous cities.

This made this originally very prosperous island ranch gradually fall into disrepair.

Xiao Feng took Jesse to the island together. In fact, when he came to buy this island this time, he also came here for a vacation.

The Patagonia region that belongs to the Copper Country is still very beautiful. Recently, Jessie has been working a lot since she was pregnant. She is also very tired and has some emotional ups and downs. Xiao Feng took advantage of the opportunity to buy the ranch , take her here for a vacation.

It takes only ten minutes to take a boat from Punta Arenas to Resco Island.

The area of ​​this island is very large, and the terrain is also very flat. In the early years when the Portuguese and Spaniards set off the age of great exploration and controlled the Strait of Magellan, every time they passed by the island, they would throw some cattle and sheep on the island.

Because there are no natural enemies, cattle and sheep flocked on this island soon, and every time the Spanish fleet passed by here, they would hunt and kill some cattle and sheep on the island for supplies.

This habit continued for hundreds of years, until the British and Dutch took control of this place, and they did not stop this habit.

Later, after Tongguo became independent, it became a private ranch. At that time, several families on the island were engaged in animal husbandry here.

At its peak, there were more than 3,000 people living on the island, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.

But now, young people no longer like this place. Without the Internet, they can only engage in a boring life like animal husbandry.

So more people choose to leave here,

Now there are dozens of old, weak and sick people living on this island.

Most of the pastures are also abandoned, and the cattle are no longer raised. There are only more than one hundred sheep and hundreds of turkeys.

The only remaining family on the island was the Ricardo family, but there was only the old lady in the family, and her sons and nephews in their seventies and eighties. These people's grades added up were over a thousand years old.

Ever since they knew that there was a West Pacific Investment Group, which recently bought up island ranches in Copper Country and started farming, they contacted them through various channels.

In the end, Xiao Feng was contacted through the Weng family in Eisen District, which led to this acquisition trip.

After landing on the island, Xiao Feng took Jesse to see the environment on the island first. To be honest, the environment on the island is very good.

After all, it was also managed by Ricardo and several of their relatives in the early years for nearly a hundred years.

The land has basically been leveled, and most of the land is planted with alfalfa and various plants suitable for cattle and sheep.

The island also has electricity and houses, but the houses are relatively old.

The youngest person on the island is a grandson of Grandma Ricardo, Domingos who sleeps in his forties.

Seeing Xiao Feng and the others coming, Domingos was very enthusiastic and took Xiao Feng and the others to visit the family museum.

It is said to be a museum, but it is actually a hut that introduces the historical development and changes of the island. It stores various tools used by farmers on the island in different eras.

Then Domingos showed Xiao Feng and the others how to shear the sheep. First, they pushed the sheep they raised into the river, pressed the head of the sheep with a special wooden pole, and let the sheep swim in the ditches they had dug.

This process can just wash off the dust and debris on the sheep, and then drive the sheep ashore, with their heads stuck in a wooden trough, and then start shearing.

It was the first time for Xiao Feng to see cowboys shearing sheep. Jesse had seen them many times before. Although the techniques were similar to those of North American cowboys, the final results were similar.

But Domingos is old after all. According to him, if he was young, he could cut a hair in three to five minutes, but now it takes at least twenty minutes.

"Mr. Xiao, you can see that the situation on our island is probably like this. If we engage in formal large-scale farming, the island can raise up to 80,000 cows, 20,000 sheep, and more than 100,000 turkeys by the way. It's all about our previous experience..."

After a series of visits, Dominguez summoned a few helpers and roasted a whole lamb for Xiao Feng and the others.

Then, while having a big meal and tasting fine wine, he recommended this Resco Island to Xiao Feng and the others.

And Xiao Feng is really excited about this island, 80,000 cows, 20,000 sheep, and 100,000 turkeys, huh!

This is really incomparable among the island ranches he currently has. No wonder this island is known as the world's largest island ranch!

"I am also old, and the elders in the family are all old, and it is not appropriate to stay on the island anymore. I want to take them to land to retire..."

Dominguez is also a neat person, and he didn't hide his current embarrassing situation.

First of all, the output of the island every year makes them unable to make much money at all, and the annual taxes and fees and various expenses are expensive. Operating this ranch is not profitable for them.

The most important thing is that they are all old, and this island is really not suitable for them to support their elderly. Moreover, most of their children make a living on land, and they are all doing well.

They all want to go to their children!

In the end, Xiao Feng didn't talk nonsense, and took the island directly. The price was not expensive, only a few million dollars, which was not a small sum in the Copper Country.

But to Xiao Feng, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket that he captured from the Li family.

"I didn't expect that! The Copper Country is actually the world's largest chicken exporter!"

Before investigating the animal husbandry industry in the Copper Country, Xiao Feng always thought that the main exports of the Copper Country were beef and salmon.

But after the investigation, he found out that Tongguo was not a big cattle raising family before, but started to raise cattle on a large scale after signing a free trade agreement with Huaguo.

In the past, their agriculture was also very developed, but at that time, the species they mainly exported to the world was turkeys!

Since the 1960s and 1970s, Copper Country has been the world's largest exporter of turkeys, exporting hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

And things like turkey are extremely popular in Europe and the United States, especially in the United States.

The United States is also the largest turkey breeding and consumer country in the world, and even the United States does not have enough to consume. It also imports a large number of turkeys from other countries every year, including Copper Country.

But in China, this kind of creature was sentenced to death, because many Chinese people think that turkey meat is not good to eat.

As for the reason for this, Xiao Feng believes that firstly, domestic people do not have the habit of eating turkey, and secondly, they have not done much research on how to eat turkey, so the way of eating turkey is very simple, which is why they have such a stereotyped impression.

At least Xiao Feng had enjoyed many turkey dinners in Tongguo, and according to the cooking style of Tongguo people, this turkey meat was quite delicious.

In Xiao Feng's opinion, turkey is actually a very good breed, especially for a fast food restaurant like him!

Recently, he was looking at the investigation report of the West Pacific investment team on investing in turkey farming, which surprised him.

The input-output ratio of raising a cow is less than one to one, while the input-output ratio of raising turkeys can reach about one to five.

The main advantage of turkey breeding is that the breeding cycle is short and the turkeys have strong disease resistance. It takes only a few months from hatching to adulthood, and each chicken can weigh more than ten kilograms after adulthood.

Feathers can be used as handicraft decorations, and after being chopped, they can be sold to down purchasing companies.

And the pure meat of each chicken after the bones are removed can weigh more than ten catties. In terms of net profit, it is much better than the 40-day fast-growing chicken loin in China!

The most important thing is that turkey also has the characteristics of high protein, low fat, and low cholesterol. It is a rare and high-quality food.

Looking at it this way, turkey farming is definitely a promising industry with great potential!

It's just that according to the cooking habits of Huaguo, this turkey is not delicious, so it has not become popular in Huaguo.

In the Copper Country, in addition to roasting turkeys, the locals are also popular to chop up turkey for stuffing, and make chicken steaks similar to steaks for frying and roasting.

A variety of cooking methods, together with Tongguo's own seasoning, after Xiao Feng has eaten it a few times, it is really very good.

So he decided to bring this thing back to China!

Before that, he also referred to the price of domestic turkey meat. To be honest, it is really very expensive. A turkey leg online is a hundred yuan less.

The reason why it is so expensive is firstly because there are too few domestic breedings, and most turkeys are imported.

And these middlemen only want to make money, and don't want to promote it on a large scale, which will cause such a situation.

And if he got the turkey back, there would be no problem in terms of sales.

For example, the chicken rice and chicken chop rice made by their famous chefs, and even some meat patties and sausages they produce for Western fast food can use turkey meat.

Chinese people don't like turkey meat? Ah! It's just that you eat it wrong!

He didn't believe that consumers would not like their famous chef to make seasoned turkey.

If it doesn't work, the turkey can also be made into various stuffings and quick-frozen food. He doesn't believe that it can't be promoted.

In Europe and the United States, this stuff is not expensive at all, it is just an ordinary food for the masses, Xiao Feng can't figure it out, how can it become a high-end food in China?

And the purpose of his investment in South America this time is to bring down the prices of many high-end ingredients in the country!

Such as salmon, beef, various sea fish.

In the future, Celebrity Chef Manufacturing will strive to become a large-scale catering and food supply group, serving the people all over the country wholeheartedly. The ultimate goal is to make the people in China afford meat and fish.
