Chapter 151 On-site Tasting: Sunset Divine Ox Amazes All Merchants

The first person to try the food was the head chef of a steakhouse in a neighboring town.

He put the beef in his mouth, chewed a few times, and then stopped.

The people around him watched him, waiting for him to say something.

The chef swallowed and took a deep breath.

He put down his plate and walked directly to Emma.

"I want to sign a long-term supply contract with you, at least 500 pounds per month."

Emma smiled and handed over her business card.

"You can register first, and we will arrange for signing contracts after the exhibition."

Supermarket buyers, restaurant owners, and food suppliers have come to sample the food.

Someone asked, "How much does this beef cost per pound?"

Emma replied, "Prices are determined based on order volume and delivery time. We guarantee quality, but not the lowest price."

Someone asked, "How much can I pay per month?"

Emma replied, "Currently, production capacity is limited, and priority is given to supplying alliance partners."

Someone asked, "Can you deliver to other states?"

Emma replied, "We have a cold chain delivery system that allows us to deliver throughout the United States."

Su Chen stood beside the booth and received three important businesspeople.

One is a large food supplier in Kalispel.

One is the owner of a high-end restaurant in Bozeman.

One is a purchasing manager for a private club.

The food supplier's surname was Howard. He was in his fifties, with gray hair, and wearing a dark gray suit.

He looked at the sample of the Sunset Sacred Cow and then at the test report.

"Mr. Su, your beef is indeed of top quality, but it's not cheap either."

"I'd like to know, can you guarantee a stable supply over the long term?"

Su Chen said, "The monthly output is fixed, the quality is stable, and we will not lower our standards because of increased orders."

Howard thought for a moment.

"Okay, I'll order 500 pounds, let's try it for a month first."

"If the quality remains consistent, we will sign an annual contract."

The owner of the upscale restaurant is a woman in her thirties.

Wearing a black suit, he spoke very directly: "Mr. Su, my restaurant caters exclusively to high-end clients, and we have extremely high requirements for the quality of our beef."

"If your beef meets Michelin three-star standards, I'm willing to pay double the price."

Su Chen shook his head.

"Price remains the same, quality remains the same."

"You can try a batch first, and if you're satisfied, we can discuss long-term cooperation."

The purchasing manager of the private club was a fat man who spoke slowly.

"Mr. Su, our members are all wealthy individuals and political figures."

"The requirements for ingredients are not only that they taste good, but also that they are safe, healthy, and have a story behind them."

What are the selling points of your beef?

Su Chen pointed to the plaque in the honor area.

"Organic certified, antibiotic-free and hormone-free, top-level state-level breeding base."

"The story is about going from a runaway ranch to one of the best in the state, is that enough?"

The fat man laughed.

That's enough.

All three signed a letter of intent.

We agreed to visit the ranch after the exhibition.

The veterinarian was standing next to the booth, explaining the beef quality standards.

He held a test report and read it aloud to the onlookers, item by item.

"It contains 22% fat, 21% protein, and 40% more iron than regular beef."

"Drug residues, hormones, and antibiotics were not detected."

Some people questioned, "Is this data fabricated?"

I remained calm and unperturbed, turning to the last page of the test report.

It bears the official seal of the Montana Livestock Testing Center.

"This is the official test report; you can call to verify it."

"If I discover any fraud, I am willing to take legal responsibility."

Those who had raised doubts fell silent.

Residents lined up to sample the food, and the line grew longer and longer, stretching from the tasting area all the way to the plaza entrance.

John's hands were sore from cutting meat.

Juan and Luis were busy helping to pass plates and collect trash, barely having time to breathe.

Anderson Farm's booth also benefited from the attention.

Some customers sampled the food at the Sunset booth.

I stopped by Anderson's place on the way.

Although I didn't place an order, at least I left my business card.

The tasting areas at other ranches were deserted.

Occasionally one or two people would pass by, glance at the scene, and then leave.

Old Hunter stood in front of his own booth, looking at the crowds on the other side of the sunset, his expression not very good.

Morris came over and handed him a bottle of water.

"Stop looking at it, our cattle are really far inferior to those of the setting sun."

"Let's improve the quality first, and then come back next year."

Old Hunter sighed, unscrewed the water bottle, and took a sip.

Smith Bank manager launches ranch-specific loans.

The annual interest rate is one percentage point lower than usual, specifically targeting small and medium-sized ranches.

Several ranches took the initiative and gathered around the bank's booth to inquire.

Luke is offering exclusive agricultural input discounts at the expo, with feed and veterinary drugs all discounted by 10%, valid only on the day of the expo.

The ranchers in the alliance placed orders on the spot, saving a lot of money.

Su Chen with three high-end businessmen.

A preliminary verbal agreement has been reached, and a formal contract is scheduled to be signed next week.

The man wisely stepped back a few paces.

Lingfeng hovered high in the sky, monitoring the flow of people and safety on site in real time.

It flew very high, and most people wouldn't notice it, but Su Chen knew it was there.

Juan and Luis maintained order at the booth.

Visitors were guided to tour the area in an orderly manner to prevent anyone from crowding the cattle.

In the data area, Old Tom explained rotational grazing and grassland improvement techniques to the ranchers.

He spoke very frankly and without reservation.

The ranchers listened attentively, and some even took out notebooks to take notes.

The English announcements at the exhibition played on a loop: "Sunset Ranch, Whitefish Town's top-quality organic beef, welcome to sample and order."

Local reporters took numerous photos, which they plan to publish in the newspaper tomorrow.

He specifically took panoramic photos of the sunset display and close-ups of the premium breeding cattle.

There's also the way John cuts the meat, and the expressions on the residents' faces as they sample it.

The system panel flickered.

[Tasting session complete]

[Beef quality recognition has significantly improved]

The expo entered its core phase: the Baiyu Town premium beef cattle award competition.

The judging panel then appeared: Veterinarian Ben, State Agriculture Commissioner Wilson, and Mayor George.

There was also a senior breeder brought in from Kalispel.

His surname was Klein, he was in his sixties, and he had spent his entire life working in animal husbandry.

The judging criteria consist of four main categories:

Health, meat quality, breed purity, and breeding value.

Each item is worth 10 points, for a total of 40 points.

The scores are announced on-site, and the scoring is done immediately, making the entire process transparent.

Each participating ranch in the town led out its best cattle for judging.

Anderson's beef cattle were the first to be brought out.

It is an Angus bull, with a good build and glossy coat.

But compared to the bulls in the sunset, the difference is obvious.

The judging panel approached for inspection.

I examined his teeth and eyes.

Wilson touched his back and ribs.

Klein measured his body length and chest circumference.

George announced the score on the spot:

Health rating: 7.5; Meat quality: 7.0.

Variety purity is 6.5, and breeding value is 6.0.

Total score: 27 points.

Silver Award.

Anderson breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it wasn't a gold medal, a silver medal isn't shameful either.

The other five ranches took turns participating.

The scores were all between 20 and 25.

They won the bronze medal and the excellence award, respectively.

Old Hunter won the bronze medal, and Morris won the excellence award.

Both of them were quite satisfied; at least they didn't leave empty-handed.

Finally, Su Chen's Sunset Ranch will make its appearance.
