When others heard this, they couldn't help but smile. Chen Xi's loss was just listening, just like the amount reported by Chen Xi. Just look at it. Whoever believes it will have a problem with his brain. If you lose money, you are afraid that it is not a debt!

"The so-called loss means that the money you can make is not made." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think is the most valuable thing for a sheep?"

"Of course it's meat." Jiang Gong threw the last piece of milk into his mouth and answered Chen Xi's question casually, and the others agreed with Jiang Gong's answer relatively.

"In fact, the answer is not meat." Chen Xi said with a lip silence.

It seems that mutton is the most profitable business, but in fact, if you raise sheep, the most profitable thing is not mutton, but goat milk and wool. By the way, it is precisely because of this demand that sheep are divided into two categories: dairy sheep and sheep. The former mainly produces milk, while the latter mainly produces wool.

Of course, the Han Dynasty's animal husbandry has not yet been classified so clearly, but even so, the output of dairy products will not be smaller than that of selling meat. After all, the mainstream in the Central Plains is goats. Although they are far inferior to dairy goats in later generations, this thing is in line with each other.

Therefore, in terms of milk production, the sheep raised in the Han Dynasty had a very advantage, but before, Chen Xi could not handle the goat milk, so he could only give up this industry.

After all, pure milk without any additives can only be stored for about one day below 4c. Even if it is made into fresh cheese, the shelf life will not exceed seven days.

So Chen Xi could only watch the waste of an industry with a net profit of more than 3 billion yuan. After all, with the current garbage logistics industry, it is absolutely impossible to deliver fresh cheese from the North to Chang'an on a large scale within seven days.

A sheep produces even more milk than the money for selling meat. This is because the Han Dynasty goats are not really high-quality dairy goats. A truly high-quality dairy goat can produce milk that is fifteen times its weight a year. Killing sheep and eating meat? Why bother! Is it not good to sell milk?

This is why Chen Xi went to Liu Yu to introduce a group of old Wuhuan herders to conduct cheese research. This thing is really too profitable.

If Chen Xi hadn't really understood the making of cheese, Chen Xi would have done it himself.

Think about it, there are 10 million sheep in northern Xinjiang. According to the normal practice of milk goats in later generations, they can produce 1,000 kilograms of milk a year. At present, all sheep in the Han Dynasty are garbage, so there is no need to divide them into male and females. Each one produces an average of 100 kilograms per year, and then it is made into cheese from ten to one, which is equivalent to 100 million kilograms of cheese.

Chen Xi is based on the street price, and a pound is calculated at ten cents, which is also a billion yuan.

In fact, if a sheep produces only 100 kilograms of milk a year, it is better to kill the sheep and eat meat. On the other hand, Chen Xi could not cut this thing to ten cents per kilogram unless it was during the holidays. After having this thing, the variety of food can be increased.

So from a certain perspective, this thing is of great use in the food industry. As long as it tastes delicious, you really don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.

So Chen Xi probably just did this by himself, and his annual net profit would be around 3 billion yuan. Of course, the most important thing is that this industry also requires a large amount of manpower, and Chen Xi’s favorite is this industry that requires a large amount of manpower.

Let the people have work to do as much as possible, and as long as there is work to do, the society will be stable.

"In fact, if the sheep we raise in northern Xinjiang currently aim to eat meat, it would be a loss." Chen Xi shrugged and said, "The output of wool textiles is almost the same as that of meat. Especially after the new sheep species introduced from Rome, if raised in different populations, the wool spun output of those Mophron sheep is definitely greater than that of their meat."

"After all, this kind of thing depends on the population cultivation." After completing the control experiment and learning that Liu Bei and others arrived, Jiang Qi, who quickly changed his clothes and rushed over, heard Chen Xi discussing this issue, and casually replied.

Jiang Qi has this understanding of population domestication and cultivation. After all, when he was raising bees, he did population optimization and differentiation cultivation. When raising sheep, he also introduced this concept and tried it. The effect was pretty good. However, because there were too many breeding, some other populations always intervened in the large army, so Jiang Qi had no good idea.

The top sheep can manage the flock, but the scale that the top sheep can manage is also limited. At the scale of the large ranch, the second five sheep will even jump over their own fences and run to other sheep next door to make a living.

"Manager Jiang, I'm sorry." Chen Xi bowed to Jiang Qi slightly, and in the mouths of others, even in Chen Xi's mouth, it was said that the Northland Ranch is one of the largest ranches in the north. In fact, Chen Xi, who has accurate data, knows that this ranch is really the largest.

Jiang Qi's management level is a bit hard to describe, but his technical ability is indeed very strong. In fact, as a guy who relies on beekeeping and animal husbandry to record history, it is not outrageous to have this strength.

"Where are there." Jiang Qi touched her beard, smiled and greeted her, and then bowed to the group one by one.

Jiang Qi is interested in being an official, but unlike some official fans, this guy knows that he is not the material. As a nominal manager, he only needs to do what he likes to do and what he puts forward, and everyone will listen to the opinions he puts forward. That's enough.

Therefore, Jiang Qi has always been very satisfied with Chen Xi's arrangement. He likes this kind of life very much, especially when he wants to study population optimization, he can really invest a lot of manpower and material resources to do this kind of research. Who would have created hundreds of thousands of sheep of the same kind for him to study it before?

"Guard Jiang, go to the wild field in the northwest and bring a batch of deer over." Jiang Qi looked in a good mood and turned his head and greeted Jiang Gong a few times.

Jiang Gong was happy when he heard this. He had a lot of deer that harmed Jiang Qi. After all, compared to sheep, deer is a great nourishment. I didn’t know that those big-horned deer, red deer, etc. were free-ranged by Jiang Qi. Jiang Gong went to catch deer every now and then.

Later, I learned that this was raised by Jiang Qi, so I felt embarrassed to catch it often. I went back to pick it up for ten days and half a month. Jiang Qi couldn't see it. After all, the deer there was also free-range. Although I had eaten a lot of Jiang Qi's green storage, it was not really domestically raised.

"Everyone comes with me." Jiang Qi made a call, and then said while leading the way in front, "The food here is very different from the south, and it is quite rough. I hope everyone will not blame him."

Chen Xi rolled his eyes when he heard this. He had already thought of what Jiang Qi meant, and was afraid it was not roasting whole beef or roasting whole lamb, something that was impossible to have in the south.

"Is the way to eat very rough?" Han Xin asked curiously. Along the way, the ranch gave Han Xin a feeling that the grand ranch gave Han Xin was not the kind of prosperity in Chang'an, but an alternative prosperity, which made Han Xin quite curious about Jiang Qi's so-called roughness.

"Yes, because you are a coincidence that you are here. Some food is just released. Speaking of which, after years of experiments, the roasting level in this area has reached Chang'an." Jiang Qi said confidently.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chen Xi, because the one who is most qualified to represent the highest cooking skills of Chang'an is Chen Xi. After all, if you can do it, put it aside. Chen Xi really knows how to eat, and he is particularly good at eating.

Chen Xi nodded silently. Only those cooks in their family, with their little arms and legs, could not make such dishes. He knew with his feet what Jiang Qi called roasting, either roast camels or roasted whole beefs. At least Chen Xi could not make such things in the backyard.

In fact, let alone Chen Xi’s backyard, even Liu Tong would not do such things. This is entirely a matter of understanding and geography.

"Then I'll try it." Liu Tong was also quite interested. The Taiguan under her Shaofu family's young masters did not say that they were invincible in the world, but at least they were equally matched with the chef of Chen Xi's family. I didn't expect that there were dishes that exceeded the production range of Chen Xi's backyard. I couldn't taste them.

"A cow or a camel?" Chen Xi asked in a low voice at Jiang Qi as he walked in.

"Cow, we can't do the camel well now." Jiang Qi did not feel confused about Chen Xi guessing what they were cooking here.

In fact, Jiang Qi also knew that if his Northland ranch was not concerned about the consumption of mutton, it would be too outrageous that more than 2,000 cows were included in the loss a year. Ten years ago, if it was consumed, this group of people would probably be beaten to death.

Therefore, when Jiang Qi returned to Chang'an before, no matter whether others knew or not, he told the truth to Chen Xi. He really didn't resell it. He was all eaten by formal employees of Beidi Ranch.

Jiang Qi himself didn't expect to eat so much. Perhaps some people from the Central Plains who went north to participate in the management and construction of the ranch had never eaten cattle. When they learned that the cattle were also edible in this ranch, they ordered the cattle curiously...

So he ate 2,400 cows a year, thanks to Jiang Qi who did it well. In addition, Chen Xi was reasonable and said that eating beef for raising cattle and grazing was a matter of course. He didn't care. Jiang Qi, a technician, would not think about it, so he brought this back, and then the group of people continued to eat beef.

It is precisely because of this accumulation of a lot of experience that Beidi Ranch has really completed this top-notch and most shocking barbecue method.

When several macho chefs carried a whole roasted, crispy and tender cow into the main hall, everyone except Chen Xi and non-humans present were stunned.

The tempting fragrance and shocking vision made Liu Tong and others who saw this kind of thing stunned for the first time. Indeed, they had never eaten such shocking things.
