At noon, a few old friends gathered for a meal.
I only prepared some beef and lamb.
I cut a few pieces of marbled beef and used a low-temperature sous vide machine to prepare them first.
54 degrees, cooked for a full hour.
After it’s done, I carefully use kitchen paper to absorb the surface moisture and apply avocado oil.
A friend next to me joked that I’m living more and more meticulously now.
I said, you can't save money on ingredients; the error margin is vastly different between meat that costs a few dozen and a few hundred.
Many people find it hard to chew steak; afraid it’s undercooked, they keep cooking it, ruining it completely.
A true master doesn’t need sous vide; they rely on their feeling and the residual heat to gauge doneness.
We don't have that skill, we can only rely on strict quantitative rules.
Low-temperature slow cooking is to forcibly lock the doneness of this piece of meat in advance.
The last step, high temperature pushes up to 160 degrees, each side comes for one minute.
Just to fool the eyes and mouth, and that's it.
Red pants took a sip of tea and sighed.
She is engaged in deep processing of poultry, and the market has been extremely poor in the past two years, with losses across the board.
She said that the current business situation is exactly like frying this piece of meat.
In the past, retail investors raised chickens and ducks, and as soon as they lost money, they would immediately empty the shelves and stop, and the price could quickly rise back on its own.
Now the table is full of big capital and listed giants.
The cost accounting of these people has directly been cut to the bone.
Even if suffering losses, they will never reduce production, fearing that if they retreat, the territory will be occupied by others.
They rely on the thickness of the capital, playing with low-temperature slow cooking.
Not killing you with one knife, but consuming your blood every day.
It will take until small and medium-sized farmers' funds are cut off, until retail investors are completely desperate and collapse.
After clearing out the idle people at the table, the production capacity concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
They then use a big fire to raise prices, cleaning out the market with both capital and interest.
After I listened, I casually picked up the scissors and cut the meat into small pieces, put a piece of butter in, and sealed the edges with residual heat.
I sold the company last year, giving up all offline businesses.
Now every day is just facing a few screens, making transactions.
It's not that the entity can't continue, but that they've seen through this predatory zero-sum game and are too lazy to keep wasting time with them.
In fact, the Ethereum on the table these days is also playing this game.
Diving down sharply from the high point of 2300, directly smashing into the pit of just over 2000.
A wave of sharp decline has forced out the panic盘.
And then?
Slowly simmering here without any heat.
Many people who looked cheap to bottom out now definitely feel uncomfortable all over.
Can't rise, can't fall deeply, just rubbing back and forth in this small space.
What do you think the main force is doing?
They are hanging a sunshade here, slowly draining the last spare money from retail investors' pockets.
The water temperature of over 2000 points is just to slowly wear out those who are not determined.
Big funds are not in a hurry to start, they are waiting.
Waiting for retail investors' patience to completely bottom out, waiting for the doneness of this piece of meat to be completely locked by the boring fluctuations at the bottom.
Next, there will definitely be a big fire.
Pulling up a wave of反抽, creating a highly tempting illusion.
Let those who think the market is reversing rush in with sparkling eyes.
And that high temperature moment is not meant to help you get out.
That is the last ritual of big funds distributing chips to you.
In this game, those who live the longest are never the greediest, but the ones who follow the rules the most.
When others are simmering soup, don't jump into the pot.
Since big funds have laid down a net above, we should stand at a high place and wait.
Wait for that virtual fire to burn up, wait for the prey to crash in.
