749 Big Zebu (1/2)

Big Zebu weighed more than 2,400 pounds, which meant that it weighed more than one ton.

If it were not for the fact that it was already castrated, a Big Zebu of this weight had a high chance of being used for breeding. It would just have to pass a physical examination, have its testicles measured, have the gap between its eyes measured, and have the length of its ankle joint measured. After all these, it would have become a large breeding bull who was valued at 10,000 RMB or more. It could have lived a good life where humans would be helping it up after sex and washing its d*ck for it.

Unfortunately, to improve the quality of its meat, not long after Big Zebu was born, its testicles and d*ck were cut off. It never got to know the joys of s*x. A person could say that ever since Big Zebu was born, everyone had expected it to grow up to become a delicious zebu. And it had indeed tried its best to achieve this.

It liked exercising, and it was used to waking up early in the morning every day to take walks. However, it had never exercised excessively. It liked food too and ate many meals a day. However, it never ate excessively, and it was able to maintain a good diet where it ate small portions of food many times a day. It liked walking instead of running, and with its pace, it often walked at very strategic spots among the herd of zebus.

If Big Zebu had a grandmother, its grandmother would have definitely praised it for being obedient.

During the chilliest times of the year, Big Zebu would even wear long johns, which protected its legs from the cold. This prevented its muscles from contracting because of the low temperature. This was a trade secret among Chinese farmers.

It managed to emerge victorious among all the other zebus in its herd. Hence, it was given the name ”Big Zebu”. This could be considered the highlight of its life.

At Zheng's Farm, this meant that it enjoyed its own feed trough. It was just like eating in a private dining room. There was also a staff member who was designated to take care of it alone. It was as if it had its own servant. Every time it fought with the other zebus, the staff members would even show favoritism and side with it.

For the past two years alone, three cows had been slaughtered because they fought with Big Zebu.

Today, Big Zebu finally got to show its value.

Zheng's Farm was filled with chatter and laughter, and everyone was tremendously happy.

The 1.1-ton zebu was slaughtered in a traditional manner. No matter how many guests came, it was impossible to finish eating all the beef.

It would already be considered an achievement for an ordinary human to eat 2.2 pounds of beef per meal. Those who could eat 4.4 pounds of beef at one go could go without food for the next twenty-four hours. Even though Tian Guozheng had plenty of friends that he could give the beef to, as they were not exactly throwing a big party today, there would definitely be a lot of leftover beef for all the staff members to feast on.

”The previous time I got to eat a Big Zebu, I have just gotten married. I thought that I wouldn't get the chance to eat a gigantic zebu again before I get divorced. I didn't expect to get so lucky.” The head chef of Zheng's farm was holding a knife, and he personally sliced the beef into cuts. He was doing it so earnestly that it was as if he was having s*x for the first time after getting married.

”Your marriage might be able to last until the next time you get to eat the next Big Zebu.” Chef Zhu traveled back and forth all the time, and he had not been in the farm's kitchen for a while. He quickly licked the head chef's boots when he saw the opportunity.

The head chef glared at Chef Zhu. ”Why are you cursing me?”

Chef Zhu was speechless.

…..

The meat on Big Zebu's rump, which was just taken out of the grill, was red and shimmery. In Brazil, among the many types of cuts, the rump was the most expensive one. It was also what the Brazilians loved most. In this aspect, they were totally different compared to Europeans.

As the rump was grilled on top of a strong blaze, plenty of juice was locked inside the meat. It might not be as juicy as expensive steak, but Brazilians never judged the quality of their barbeque beef based on how juicy it was. Brazilians, who were meat lovers, sought for barbeque beef that tasted very beefy.

This beefiness was courtesy of the protein content in beef, and most of the protein in beef was contained in the muscles. Aside from this, beef from different places produced a different kind of beefiness. This was because of the variation in the cattle's food intake.

Zebus were not famed for their fat content, to begin with. However, 90% of the cattle raised in Brazil were Zebus, and this was because the meat of zebus was obviously good. Zebus were extremely tasty and beefy. As long as zebus were cooked in a normal manner, other than vegetarians, very few people dislike them.

Tian Guozheng, who had lived in Brazil for many years, could not hold himself back anymore when the aroma of beef traveled into his nostrils. He sat down in the hospital cafeteria and, with a great show of hospitality, invited Ling Ran and his entourage who had just carried out three surgeries over for some beef.

The four doctors who were on night shift today had the chance to eat Big Zebu's rump too. Their eyes lit up as they sat down at the table.

Ordinary staff members of the hospital were not given fair treatment. This was a capitalistic society, after all. Hence, they had no choice but to go for the belly, sirloin tip, and bottom round. Still, they enjoyed the food quite a lot.

Unlike the steak favored by Europeans, Brazillian barbeque beef made use of freshly slaughtered meat, as this was when the beef tasted the beefiest. They did not bother with sauces either and only used salt as seasoning. The taste of the beef itself was enough to make everyone salivate.
