All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

"Anyway, I've given you the chance. Give me a reply right away. I'm still with your benefactor, so I need to give you a reply immediately. If you don't come, I'll have to find someone else." Wu Longjiang couldn't reveal too much, not even Zhou Yongcheng's surname to Zheng Daonan.

Zheng Daonan remained silent for a few seconds. He knew Wu Longjiang's identity; someone of his rank would certainly not do anything unreliable. If not, he would just consider it a vacation.

"Where is it?" Zheng Daonan asked.

"Tonghuai City, Wuling Province, just buy a plane ticket and fly directly here. I'll pick you up at the airport. It would be best if you arrived today, and we can go see the cattle and sheep tomorrow."

I know about Wuling Province, but I've never heard of Tonghuai City. It's probably just an ordinary prefecture-level city.

"I'll check the plane tickets. I don't know if there are any available today. If there are, I'll go today. If not, I'll have to go tomorrow."

"That's fine."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Longjiang went inside and told Zhou Yongcheng about the situation, saying that the boss would come over no later than tomorrow.

The next morning, Wu Longjiang called to say that the boss had arrived in Tonghuai.

Zhou Yongcheng asked them to come over so they could go to the village together.

When Wu Longjiang and his group arrived at Zhou Yongcheng's place, Wu Longjiang introduced Zheng Daonan to Zhou Yongcheng.

Zheng Daonan is the president of Youranju Group in Fujian Province. Youranju is a nationally renowned brand and a century-old brand that specializes in high-end dining.

On the way, Wu Longjiang and Zheng Daonan were in one car, and Zhou Yongcheng was in another car. They traveled towards Qingshui Village one after the other.

"What exactly is his identity? Judging from his age, he's probably not even thirty yet."

When Zheng Daonan saw Zhou Yongcheng, he couldn't believe his eyes. He had always thought that the leader Wu Longjiang served was at least a man in his fifties or sixties, but he never expected that he would be a young man who was not even thirty years old.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Wu Longjiang said helplessly.

Do you think I believe that?

"Okay, his identity is top secret, only the top leaders know it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Daonan said, "Judging from his attire, he doesn't seem to be an official. How did you end up being sent down to be his secretary?"

"I don't know either. I've been here for about half a year and have only done one thing, which was top secret. This is the second thing I've done."

Zheng Daonan was speechless. "Then what have you been doing all day? You've only done two things in six months."

"I drink tea at the city hall, study, and recharge myself."

"You're living a very comfortable life with that salary."

"There's nothing I can do, I'm just lucky."

They soon arrived at the village. Zhou Yongcheng called Zhou Yongqiang and asked him to come back, saying that someone had come to see the cattle.

Soon Zhou Yongqiang returned to the village, and Zhou Yongcheng led them to the other side of the river to see the cattle.

"Mr. Zhou, are all the cattle raised in your village this breed?" Zheng Daonan was very disappointed when he saw these cattle. They were not high-end beef cattle at all, but just some local yellow cattle.

"Yes, the breeds are uniform. In the past, the village was allowed to raise cattle and sheep. The plan was for me to buy all the cattle and sell them abroad. Last year, I obtained a high-tech feed formula that would improve the quality of the meat from the cattle and sheep. So I decided not to sell the beef and mutton abroad, but to sell it domestically. That's why I asked Secretary Wu to find a domestic boss to buy the cattle and sheep from the village."

The pigs raised by Zhou Yongkang's family were also fed with feed. When he got married, he slaughtered the pigs, and the pork was of very good quality. Everyone who came to the banquet said that the pork from Zhou Yongkang's family was very fragrant and delicious, and the dishes on the table were basically all eaten up.

"But the breed of cattle doesn't look like high-end cattle to me." As the president of a top domestic catering company, Zheng Daonan has a great deal of knowledge about cattle and sheep breeds.

Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "The breed of cattle does not determine the quality of the meat. After lunch, I will arrange for a cow to be slaughtered. You can pick any cow from here to be slaughtered, and you'll know once you taste it."

Zheng Daonan agreed. He also wanted to see if this mysterious young man was just boasting. When he saw the cow, he wanted to leave, but he thought that Zhou Yongcheng's identity was too mysterious and he dared not offend him.

During lunch, Wu Longjiang and Zheng Daonan experienced what real gourmet food was like; what they had eaten before was just food piled up with various aromas, which could not be called gourmet food.

I asked and found out that the fish they ate were fish raised in an outside fishpond, and the meat was giant beast meat, which was just an excuse.

After having lunch and resting for a while, Zhou Yongqiang came to the fishpond.

"Brother Qiang, has the butcher arrived yet?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"We've arrived at my home. I even asked Uncle Guohua and the others to help us with this."

Slaughtering a cow is different from slaughtering a pig. Slaughtering a cow takes longer, and slaughtering a pig requires several people to process for one or two hours.

When Zhou Yongcheng and his group arrived at the cattle pen, Zheng Daonan casually pointed to a cow. He was now looking forward to the taste of the beef, and the possibility of disappointment was nonexistent.

"Brother Qiang, weigh this cow. After you kill it, it's on me," Zhou Yongcheng said.

“Yongcheng, that’s not right. What do you mean it’s yours? We’ll eat the cow ourselves after we slaughter it, and maybe other villagers will come and buy it too.” Zhou Yongqiang said that it couldn’t be attributed to Zhou Yongcheng, and that he would eat the cow he slaughtered himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Yongcheng didn't say anything more. Zheng Daonan spoke up, "Mr. Zhou, as long as the beef is really as good as you say, I'll cover the loss of this cow."

Wu Longjiang secretly gave Zheng Daonan a thumbs up; businessmen are different, they know how to handle things.

“What are you saying, Mr. Zheng? How can the loss from slaughtering the cow be attributed to you? We already said that we wanted to slaughter the cow ourselves,” Zhou Yongqiang said.

"Since Brother Qiang has said so, let's do as he says."

Zhou Yongcheng spoke up, and that's how it was decided.

The cow was led to the open space next to Zhou Yongqiang and the others, where the butcher was already in place.

The butcher was very skilled; he did it perfectly in one go. With everyone's help, it took a little time to cut the cow open. What was left were the internal organs, which were the slowest to process, so we had to take our time.

On the table where the beef was placed, Zheng Daonan and the others observed the beef. He even leaned close to the beef and smelled its aroma.

"Good beef has a subtle aroma. Mr. Zhou is right. The breed of cattle does not determine the quality of beef. We used to buy beef based on the breed, but now it seems that this is a misconception."

The quality of this beef is no worse than imported beef. If the beef were delicious, then You Ran Ju would not need to import beef from abroad.

“We also raise black goats in our village. Would you like to take a look, Mr. Zheng?” Zhou Yongcheng said.

"No need, Mr. Zhou. If the quality and taste of the beef are fine, then the mutton must be fine too."

"How does Mr. Zheng plan to taste the beef?" Zhou Yongqiang asked.

"Just make a couple of simple home-style dishes to try, mainly to taste the texture of the beef," Zheng Daonan said.

So Zhou Yongqiang asked Zhou Guohua to cook two of his signature dishes, since Zhou Guohua was the best cook in their village.

Not long after, Zhou Guohua prepared a large plate of stir-fried beef.

Everyone picked up chopsticks to taste it.

"Well, it's delicious."

"It really tastes good. I didn't expect the feed at Yongcheng Factory to be so effective, making the beef taste so good."

Zheng Daonan also tasted a few pieces of beef. The beef tasted very good, and when you put it in your mouth, you could instantly feel a strange fragrance. The fragrance was hard to describe and felt very special.

After eating a few more pieces, Zheng Daonan smiled. He could taste the flavor of nature, which was refreshing and invigorating. This beef felt magical, not only because of its good texture but also because of its unique flavor.
