My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

That day Xiao Feng finally came to the largest island ranch in the copper country, Lesco Island.

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

However, in recent decades, the environment on the island has been much worse than before because young people have left one after another.

Punta Arenas is already the southernmost city in the copper country. A short walk to the south is the South Pole through the Strait of Magellan.

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

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

As a result, this originally prosperous island pasture was gradually abandoned.

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

The scenery of Patagonia, which belongs to the copper country, is still very beautiful. Recently, Jesse's workload has not been small since she was pregnant. She was also very tired and her mood was a little ups and downs. Xiao Feng took advantage of the opportunity to buy a ranch. , Take her here for a vacation.

From Punta Arenas to Resco Island by boat, it is actually only ten minutes away.

The area of ​​this island is very large, and the terrain is also very flat. The Portuguese and Spaniards set off the era of great navigation in the early years 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 on this island soon flocked, and every time the Spaniard fleet passes here, they will hunt some cattle and sheep on the island for replenishment.

This habit lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not broken until the British and Dutch took control of this place.

Later, the copper country became independent and became a private ranch. At that time, several families on the island were engaged in the livestock industry here.

At the peak, there were more than 3,000 people living on the island, with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

But now, young people don't like it anymore. Without internet, they can only engage in the boring life of animal husbandry.

So more people choose to leave here, and now there are dozens of old, weak and sick births living on this island.

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

The only remaining family on the island is the Ricardo family, but there are also the grandmother in the family, and her sons and nephews in their 70s and 80s. The grades of these people are added together, and they are thousands of years old.

Since knowing that there is a Western Pacific Investment Group that recently bought island pastures in the copper country and began to engage in aquaculture, they have contacted them through various channels.

In the end, Xiao Feng was contacted through the Weng family in Eisen District, and this was the journey of acquisition.

After Xiao Feng landed on the island, he took Jesse to see the environment on the island first. To be honest, the environment on the island was very good.

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

The land is basically 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 on the island is Domingos, a grandson of Ricardo's grandmother, who sleeps more than forty.

Seeing the arrival of Xiao Feng and the others, Domingos showed great enthusiasm, and also took Xiao Feng and the others to visit the family museum.

Said to be a museum, it is actually a small house 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 also showed Xiao Feng and the others how to shear the sheep. First, they pushed the sheep they raised into the river, and pressed the sheep's head with a special wooden pole to let the sheep swim in the ditch they had dug.

This process can just wash away the dust and debris on the sheep, and then drive the sheep to the shore, get the head stuck in a wooden trough, and then start shearing the sheep.

This is the first time Xiao Feng has seen cowboys shearing wool. Jesse has seen it many times before. Although the technique is similar to that of North American cowboys, the final results are similar.

But Domingos is old after all. According to him, if he could cut one head in three to five minutes when he was young, it would take at least twenty minutes now.

"Mr. Xiao, you think this is the situation on our island. If we engage in formal large-scale breeding, this island can breed up to 80,000 heads of cattle and 20,000 heads of sheep, and by the way, it can also breed more than 100,000 turkeys. All our previous experience..."

After a series of visits, Domingos greeted several helpers and roasted Xiao Feng and the others a whole lamb.

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

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

This is really incomparable among the island pastures he currently has. No wonder this island is known as the largest island pasture in the world!

"I'm also getting older, and the elders in the family are all older, and it's no longer appropriate to stay on the island. I want to take them to the land for retirement..."

Domingos is also a good person, and he did not hide his current embarrassment.

First of all, the annual output on the island makes them unable to make any money at all, and the annual taxes, fees, and various expenditures are expensive. It is not profitable for them to operate this ranch.

The most important thing is that they are getting older. This island is really not suitable for them to provide for them, and most of their children make a living on land, and they all mix 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 is no small amount in the copper country.

But to Xiao Feng, it was nothing more than a fraction of what he had seized from the Li family.

"I didn't expect it! Copper Country is still the world's largest chicken exporter!"

Before investigating the livestock industry in Copper Country, Xiao Feng always thought that the main export products of Copper Country were beef and salmon.

But after the inspection, he realized that the copper country was not a big cattle-raising company before, but after signing a free trade agreement with China, it started to raise cattle on a large scale.

In the past, their agriculture was also very developed, but at that time, they were mainly like the turkey exported from the world!

Since the 1960s and 1970s, the copper country has been the world's largest exporter of turkey, exporting hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

The turkey is particularly popular in Europe and America, especially the United States.

The United States is also the world’s largest turkey farming and consumer country. Even the country’s own farming is not enough for consumption. Every year, it also imports a large number of turkeys from other countries, including copper.

But in China, this creature was sentenced to death because many Chinese people think turkey is not tasty.

The reason for this is that Xiao Feng believes that firstly, the domestic people do not have the habit of eating turkey, and secondly, the eating method of turkey has not been studied very much, so the eating method is very simple, which is why such a stereotyped impression is generated.

At least Xiao Feng has enjoyed many turkey feasts in Tongguo, and according to the cooking style of Tongguo people, this turkey is quite delicious.

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

Recently, he was watching the investigation report of the Western Pacific Investment Team on investing in turkey farming, which surprised him.

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

The main advantages of farming turkeys are that the breeding cycle is short and the turkeys have strong disease resistance. It takes only a few months from the shell to adult. After adulthood, each chicken can weigh more than ten kilograms.

Feathers can be used for craft decorations, or they can be chopped up and sold to down-purchasing companies.

And the pure meat of each chicken after removing the bones can have more than ten catties. In terms of net profit, it is much stronger than the 40-day fast-growing chicken waist in China!

The most important thing is that turkey also has the characteristics of high protein, low fat, and low cholesterol.

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

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

In Tongguo, in addition to roasting turkey, the locals also popularly chop up turkey meat for filling, and cook it into steak-like chicken steaks.

A variety of cooking methods, coupled with Tongguo’s self-produced seasonings, after Xiao Feng had eaten it several times, it was really good.

So he moved his mind to bring this thing back to China!

Before that, he also referred to the price of domestic turkey meat. To be honest, it is very expensive. A turkey leg on the Internet is only a hundred yuan smaller.

The reason why it is so expensive is that there are too few domestic farms, and most of the turkeys are imported.

And these middlemen only want to make money, and they don't want to promote it on a large scale. This is the situation.

And if he takes the turkey back, it won't be a problem at all in terms of sales.

For example, their famous chef’s chicken rice ~www.ltnovel.com~ chicken chop rice, and even some of their patties that are specially designed for western fast food, can use turkey meat in their sausages.

Chinese don't like turkey? Ah! That's because you eat the wrong way!

He didn't believe that consumers would not like the seasoned turkey meat made by their celebrity chefs.

It really doesn't work. You can also make turkey meat into various fillings and make quick-frozen foods.

This thing is not expensive in Europe and the United States. It is just an ordinary food for the general public. Xiao Feng can't figure it out. How come it has 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 domestic ingredients!

Such as salmon, beef, all kinds of marine fish.

In the future, celebrity chef manufacturing will strive to become a large-scale catering and food supply group dedicated to serving the people across the country. The ultimate goal is to make the people in China affordable for meat and fish.
