Chapter 1099: Motivating new ideas (1/2)
Everything has two sides.
Can there be a way to produce high-quality foie gras without letting the geese suffer so much? This is the thought that suddenly emerges from Xia Ruofei’s heart.
Xia Ruofei has no sympathy, but he has his own bottom line.
If it is the traditional method of breeding old fat geese, he is definitely not willing to get involved in this industry, but if it can really improve the farming method, it can also bring more abundant product lines and greater profits to Taoyuan. Why not do it?
And if it can really scale and control costs, it can completely impact the industry, so that the farms that traditionally farmed fat goose have no living space, which is equivalent to saving those poor fat geese in disguise, which is considered to be the Taoyuan company's involvement. One of the added value of this industry!
As for the Taoyuan company, the breeding fat geese also have to slaughter and take the liver. Xia Ruofei does not have any psychological burden, and the natural fate of the fat geese is originally eaten by human beings, allowing them to walk through their lives without pain, even if it is a Even if the animal protection organization is not able to resist the farm, they only want to kill the animals to be slaughtered in a humane, painless way.
Of course, this idea can work, and it depends on whether Xia Ruofei can find a more gentle farming method.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei also has a more intense interest in foie gras.
He asked: ”Mr. Black, then... Which kind of goose is better?”
Old Black was slightly surprised. He smiled and said: ”I thought that Mr. Xia listened to my story and would give up the product of foie gras? In my impression, you are more gentle and kind, especially the scale of fat goose breeding. The largest region is in Austria in Europe.”
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: ”I have not decided to get involved in this industry. But it is always good to know more!”
Old Black agreed to nod and said: ”Yes! Although I am not an animal protectionist, but also psychologically contradictory to foie gras, this does not prevent us from the Black family agent of French foie gras business. In my opinion, personal feelings are one thing, business is another thing!”
In fact, both Old Black and Xia Ruofei did not know that the Chinese people first discovered that the method of forcible feeding could make the duck meat more delicious. Later, this method was passed from ancient Egypt to Rome, and then to France, becoming a fat geese. A general method of liver.
It can be said that Huaxia talent is the originator of this approach.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, quietly looking at the old Black.
Old Black said this: ”Right, I haven't answered your question yet! As far as I know, there are three best varieties for producing foie gras, which are Landes goose, Strasbourg goose and Toulouse goose. The three kinds of goose livers are good in appearance, large in size, rich in nutrients and rich in aroma after cooking. The most famous foie gras is Strasbourg foie gras, which was tasted by Louis XVI. Fort foie.”
Strasbourg goose, Xia Ruofei wrote silently in his heart.
Since we want to study the breeding of French fat goose, it is natural to use the best variety, which is the business philosophy of Taoyuan Company.
Next, Xia Ruofei learned some details about the fat goose farming from the old Black, but the Black family only acted as an agent for the foie gras business, and did not have its own farm, so the old Black is not particularly aware of these details.
However, Old Black saw that Xia Ruofei seemed to be very interested in French fat goose farming, and he was very enthusiastic to say that he could introduce the farmer of a fat goose breeding farm they cooperated to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei inquired about it. The fat goose farmed on this farm is the Strasbourg goose. It is very happy to hear it.
Xia Ruofei asked: ”Mr. Black, then... can you please contact the farmer and ask if he is willing to sell a few goose and some goslings to me? I am willing to pay a high price!”
Old Black said: ”It should be no problem! Strasbourg foie gras is said to be the world's best foie gras, but the fat geese are not rare. Many farms in Europe have pure Strasbourg. Goose, so there is no technical blockade, I believe Essen should give me this face!”
”That's great!” Xia Ruofei said. ”Mr. Black, this matter is yours! This is my personal contact. Any news can contact me in the first time!”
Xia Ruofei said while handing a black card to Old Black.
”Okay! Summer, you will wait for good news!” Old Black smiled and put away his business card.
Then he stood up and said: ”The time is not early, I have a date at night, let me know!”
Xia Ruofei originally wanted to know about the caviar to Old Blake, but now it is almost time for dinner. Old Black has entertainment. Xia Ruofei himself has an appointment with Ma Xiong, so he can only give up.
But after the auction, he will trade truffles with Old Black, and there will be opportunities to ask about them.
