Chapter 414 The Fragrant Rabbit Meat
Chapter 414 The Fragrant Rabbit Meat
After Chen Jia and Chen Jue succeeded in special pork products, they were not satisfied with the status quo. They turned their attention to a new food field - rabbit meat. At a food festival in Daqing, they tasted some rabbit meat dishes. Although the taste was acceptable, they always felt that they lacked some unique flavor. While tasting the rabbit meat on the plate, Chen Jia frowned and said to Chen Jue: "My husband, try this rabbit meat. The meat is tender, but the taste is not good enough. It is not fragrant enough and does not make people feel endless aftertaste."
Chen Jue put down his chopsticks and nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look: "Madam, you are right. Rabbit meat itself has great potential. If we can research and develop fragrant rabbit meat dishes, especially special ones like spicy rabbit head, we may be able to open up a new world of food, and even sell it overseas."
Chen Jia's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "My husband, your idea is brilliant! With our previous experience in breeding goats and pigs, we can definitely make rabbit meat more delicious this time. We can start with the breeds of rabbits, and look for those with delicious meat and a certain aroma."
Chen Jue smiled and held Chen Jia's hand, saying, "Okay, my lady, let's get started. Tomorrow we will visit some rabbit farmers and experts and listen to their opinions."
The next day, Chen Jia and Chen Jue came to a famous rabbit farm in Daqing. The farm owner warmly welcomed them. When he learned that they wanted to find a rabbit breed with a strong fragrance, he thought for a moment and said, "Gentlemen, there are indeed a few rabbit breeds with unique fragrances. For example, there is a kind of mountain rabbit, which lives in the mountains for a long time and feeds on various wild grasses and wild fruits. The meat is firm and has a light fragrance. However, this kind of rabbit is quite wild and it is difficult to breed."
Chen Jia asked curiously, "Are there any other breeds that are relatively easy to breed and have good meat quality? We hope to find rabbits that are easy to breed on a large scale and can guarantee the quality and flavor of the meat."
The rabbit farm owner nodded, took them to another rabbit house, and said, "Look, this is an improved breed of rabbits. They have been specially selected and bred, and they have a strong adaptability to feed and grow faster. Moreover, if you mix the feed properly during the breeding process, such as adding some fragrant grass, their meat will also have a certain fragrance."
Chen Jue observed the rabbits carefully and said, "These rabbits look relatively docile, so it should be relatively easy to raise them. But I don't know what their meat tastes like, and whether it can meet our requirements for making delicious rabbit meat dishes."
The rabbit farm owner smiled and said, "Sir, to be honest, we cook these rabbits occasionally. The meat is tender and tastes very good. However, the specific flavor depends on the cooking method."
Chen Jia thought for a moment and said, "Then we can first select a few of these domestic rabbits and bring a few mountain rabbits back to try. We can raise them ourselves and observe their growth, and we can also let the chefs evaluate the quality of their meat."
Chen Jue nodded in agreement, so they selected several domestic rabbits and mountain rabbits and brought them back to their own manor. In the breeding area of the manor, Chen Jia and Chen Jue specially arranged personnel to take care of these rabbits. Chen Jia would check the growth of the rabbits every day. She was full of expectations as she watched the rabbits eat the carefully prepared feed. One day, she said to Chen Jue who was recording the breeding data: "Husband, do you think the meat quality and flavor of these rabbits will become better after we raise them?"
Chen Jue put down the pen in his hand, walked to Chen Jia, and said, "Madam, we have carefully prepared the feed and also learned from previous breeding experience. As long as you wait patiently, you will definitely see the effect. In addition, we also have professional chefs to help evaluate and improve."
Chen Jia nodded and said, "Yes, with so many people working together, I believe we will succeed. By the way, husband, we have to let the chefs start researching how to make fragrant rabbit dishes, especially spicy rabbit heads, as soon as possible."
Chen Jue's eyes lit up and he said, "Madam, you are right. We will immediately invite the chefs to discuss and have them design a unique cooking method based on the meat characteristics of these two rabbits."
Therefore, Chen Jia and Chen Jue invited experienced chefs from their shops and some famous chefs who were good at making rabbit dishes to come to the manor. When the chefs saw these different breeds of rabbits, they expressed their opinions one after another.
A chef said, "Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, the meat of mountain rabbits is firm and has a unique aroma. It is suitable for making dishes that require long stewing, so that its aroma can be better released. The meat of domestic rabbits is tender and suitable for making some stir-fried or stewed dishes."
Another chef nodded and said, "That's right. The key to making spicy rabbit head lies in the blending of spices and the cooking temperature. We can try different spice formulas based on the characteristics of the two types of rabbits to see which one works best."
Chen Jia and Chen Jue listened carefully to the chefs' suggestions and wrote them down one by one. In the following days, the chefs began to conduct cooking experiments. They tried various combinations of spices, adjusted the time and heat of braising, and constantly improved the cooking methods.
After many attempts, they finally made a spicy rabbit head that was fragrant and spicy. After tasting it, Chen Jia and Chen Jue both smiled with satisfaction. Chen Jia said excitedly: "Husband, this spicy rabbit head tastes great! It has a strong fragrance and just the right spicy taste. It makes people want to eat more."
Chen Jue also nodded and praised: "Madam, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Our rabbit meat dishes finally have a unique flavor. Next, we can consider how to promote them."
Therefore, Chen Jia and Chen Jue began to offer these rabbit meat dishes in their shop, especially the spicy rabbit head. The unique aroma and taste attracted many customers to taste them, and soon these rabbit meat dishes caused a sensation in the food world of Daqing.
A customer was eating the spicy rabbit head and was full of praise: "Boss Chen, Madam Chen, your spicy rabbit head is absolutely delicious! It's fragrant and spicy, and the more I eat it, the more addictive it becomes. I have never eaten such delicious rabbit head."
Chen Jia smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. This is the result of our careful research and development. I hope you can come and patronize us often."
As their rabbit dishes became more and more popular, Chen Jia and Chen Jue began to consider exporting them overseas. They participated in some international food exhibitions to showcase their rabbit dishes to merchants from all over the world.
At an exhibition, a foreign merchant gave a thumbs-up after tasting the spicy rabbit head and said in the not-so-fluent Daqing language: "It's delicious! This unique aroma and spicy taste will definitely be very popular in our country."
Chen Jia and Chen Jue were filled with joy and anticipation after hearing this. Chen Jue said, "Thank you for your recognition. We also hope to promote these delicious rabbit meat dishes to more countries and regions so that more people can taste the delicacies of Daqing."
In order to meet the needs of the overseas market, Chen Jia and Chen Jue improved the packaging and storage methods of rabbit meat dishes. They used advanced vacuum packaging technology to ensure the quality and taste of rabbit meat dishes during transportation.
At the same time, they also established connections with some overseas distributors and partners to actively expand overseas markets. Thanks to their efforts, the fragrant rabbit meat dishes, especially the spicy rabbit head, gradually went out of Daqing and were exported overseas, and were loved by more and more international diners.
Chen Jia looked at the batches of rabbit meat dishes shipped overseas and said to Chen Jue with emotion: "Husband, I never thought that it would be so difficult for us to go from an initial idea to being able to sell rabbit meat dishes to the world."
Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand and said affectionately: "My dear, this is the result of our joint efforts and everyone's support. In the future, we will continue to innovate and develop more delicious dishes to make Daqing's food culture shine more brightly internationally."
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, rabbit meat dishes have become a bright business card of Daqing cuisine, and they are also constantly moving forward on the road of food business, writing their own glorious chapter.
