Chapter 626: Firm Meat
Chu Tian also met a young woman named Liz, who was passionate about fashion design and became Chu Tian's right-hand man. In his relationship with Liz, Chu Tian felt a different kind of warmth, and a deep affection gradually developed between the two. As time went by, Chu Tian's life in Azera became more and more fulfilling. His clothing business was thriving, and he gradually integrated into this world. However, deep in his heart, he was always concerned about his original world. He didn't know if he could return to the familiar courtyard and see his former neighbors and friends. Until one day, the strange light that once involved him in this world appeared again. Chu Tian knew that this might be his chance to return to his own world. He said goodbye to his friends in Azera, and walked into the light with reluctance and expectation. When Chu Tian opened his eyes again, he found himself back under the old locust tree in the courtyard. Everything was still so familiar, as if everything before was just a dream. But he knew that the experience in the parallel world would be forever engraved in his heart and become the most precious wealth in his life. After returning to his own world, Chu Tian incorporated what he saw and heard in the parallel world into his clothing designs, injecting new vitality into his brand. His clothing business also reached a new peak, and his story spread in both worlds, becoming a legend among people.
Chu Tian's trip to Inner Mongolia to look for cattleIn his spare time as his clothing business developed steadily, Chu Tian's love for food became stronger, especially the tender and juicy beef, which became his favorite delicacy. Chu Tian had eaten all kinds of beef dishes in big cities, but he always felt that they lacked the original taste. After some inquiries, he learned that the beef in Inner Mongolia was delicious because the local natural pastures and high-quality breeding environment allowed the cattle to thrive. Chu Tian was very excited and immediately decided to go to Inner Mongolia to personally select a cow for slaughter and taste the most authentic delicacy. With anticipation, Chu Tian embarked on a journey to Inner Mongolia. Along the way, he imagined the vastness of the prairie, and the picture of cattle grazing leisurely on the prairie kept appearing in his mind. After a long and bumpy journey, Chu Tian finally arrived at a small county in Inner Mongolia. After a short rest, he asked the local herdsmen where he could find suitable cattle. Under the guidance of an enthusiastic herdsman, Chu Tian came to a vast pasture. Looking around, under the blue sky and white clouds, groups of cows were grazing leisurely on the grass. The sun shone on them, reflecting a layer of golden light. The pasture was filled with the fragrance of grass and soil, and occasionally the low calls of cows could be heard. The owner of the pasture was a Mongolian man named Bater, who warmly received Chu Tian. Bater was a burly man with a simple smile on his face and a pair of bright eyes. He took Chu Tian into the pasture and introduced the breeds and characteristics of the cattle in the pasture as he walked. "We mainly have Sanhe cattle and Mongolian cattle here. Sanhe cattle have a large milk production and good meat quality; Mongolian cattle are more adapted to the grassland environment, with firm meat and delicious taste." Bater said in not very fluent Mandarin. Chu Tian listened and carefully observed the surrounding cattle. He saw that some of the cows were strong and had shiny fur, while others were thin and not in good spirits. Chu Tian thought to himself that the cow he wanted to choose should not only have good meat quality, but also be healthy enough. After walking for a while, Chu Tian's eyes were attracted by a huge Sanhe cow. The cow had brown fur all over its body, well-developed muscles, and strong limbs. It was lowering its head, eating grass with relish, and occasionally shaking its tail to drive away mosquitoes. "Brother Bater, this cow looks good. How is its meat quality?" Chu Tian pointed to the Sanhe cow and asked. Bater looked at the cow and smiled and said, "This cow is really good. It eats fresh grass on the grassland, so the meat quality must be good. However, when choosing a cow, you can't just look at its appearance, you also have to look at its health." As he said, Bater walked up and carefully examined the cow's mouth, eyes and limbs. He told Chu Tian that a healthy cow's mouth should be pink, its eyes should be bright and energetic, and its limbs should move freely. After some inspection, Battelle determined that the cow was very healthy and a good choice. Chu Tian was very satisfied with Battelle's words. He decided to choose this cow for slaughter. However, slaughtering a cow is not a simple matter and requires certain traditions and rituals. Battelle told Chu Tian that in the Mongolian tradition, a simple ceremony must be held before slaughtering a cow to show respect for the cow. Chu Tian respected the local tradition, so he and Battelle prepared the items needed for the ceremony. They spread a clean white cloth on the grass, on which some dairy products and fruits were placed as offerings. Battelle also lit a stick of incense and chanted something in his mouth, praying for the soul of the cow to rest in peace. After the ceremony, Battelle skillfully picked up the tools and began to slaughter the cow. Chu Tian stood aside, feeling nervous and expectant. He watched Battelle complete the slaughtering process cleanly and neatly, and was amazed at the skills of this Mongolian man. The next step was to process the beef. Battelle cut the beef into different parts and introduced to Chu Tian in detail the characteristics of each part and the best cooking method. He told Chu Tian that the tenderloin was tender and suitable for frying steaks; the brisket was fat and lean, which was best for stewing; and the shank was suitable for making braised beef. Chu Tian listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time. He developed a strong interest in the knowledge of beef cooking and thought that he must try these cooking methods himself after returning. With the help of Bater, Chu Tian properly packaged the cut beef and prepared to take it back to taste slowly. During this time in Inner Mongolia, Chu Tian not only tasted the most authentic beef, but also gained a deep understanding of the culture and traditions of the Mongolian people. He and Bater and other herdsmen formed a deep friendship. They drank, sang and danced together on the grassland and spent an unforgettable time. When leaving Inner Mongolia, Chu Tian was full of reluctance. He embarked on a journey home with a lot of gains and memories. When he returned home, Chu Tian couldn't wait to cook a steak according to the method taught by Bater. When the tender and juicy beef entered his mouth, Chu Tian seemed to have returned to the vast grassland and felt the gift of nature and the enthusiasm of the Mongolian people. This trip to Inner Mongolia not only satisfied Chu Tian's pursuit of delicious food, but also made his life experience more colorful. He shared this experience with his friends and colleagues, allowing more people to understand the customs and delicious beef of Inner Mongolia. His friendship with Bater has also become a precious memory in his life, often causing warm ripples in his heart.
