Chapter 212: Snails

Before nightfall, those telecom workers entered Zhangjiazhai and suspended their work for the day.

Zhang Fan went to Zhu Youfu's restaurant in advance to make an appointment for a big table, and ordered six or seven dishes, all of which were very large, so it was not difficult for the group of workers to eat a full meal.

"After a hard work, do you want to drink?" Zhang Fan asked.

The person in charge immediately waved his hand and shook his head: "Don't drink the wine first, everyone will drive when we go back tonight." ”

"Okay, just to be on the safe side, then we'll have another drink when it's all done tomorrow." Zhang Fan asked Zhu Youfu to hurry up and finish the food early, so that these workers could go home early.

Just as they were on the table, several tourists outside walked in with buckets of things.

"A few people, it's going to be later. I really can't say hello now, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" Zhu Youfu kept apologizing. At this moment, he is extremely eager to complete the expansion and renovation of the hotel.

When the time comes, recruiting two more workers to help, it should be almost able to cope with it.

Otherwise, during the peak period, the feet are always busy, and the diners are impatient. If it weren't for the iFi network in the store, allowing diners to play with their mobile phones to kill time, I'm afraid there would really be tourists who would want to smash the restaurant.

"That's okay! We'll wait, yes. We brought ingredients and helped us cook. As he spoke, he showed the half bucket of things.

Zhu Youfu looked down and was slightly surprised, it turned out to be a snail?

"You eat this too?" he asked, surprised.

The surprised voice attracted the attention of other diners, and Zhang Fan also probed over and found that it was a snail the size of half a fist, which looked like it had a lot of meat and was very fat.

Seeing such a big snail, Zhang Fan was not surprised, a snail that grew up eating high-quality vegetables is strange, and the meat quality is probably delicious, right?

The tourist was stunned for a moment and asked, "You don't know that snails can be eaten?" These snails are fat enough, they are simply the taste of the mountains and the sea. ”

Zhu Youfu shook his head: "It's not that I don't know that snails can be eaten, I will also get them." It's just that I didn't expect you city people to eat snails too. ”

"Why don't you eat it? It's delicious, there are people out there who specialize in raising snails. I've eaten them a few times, but the snails aren't comparable to the ones we caught. Said the tourist.

The snail is a terrestrial mollusk with high edible, medicinal and health value, and its edible and medicinal history has been more than 2,000 years. In foreign countries, snail is one of the seven popular game meats in the world and is one of the four famous dishes in the world.

It has the reputation of "French cuisine" in France, and in Christmas in Europe and the United States, it is almost to the point that there are no snails and no festivals. A snail-eating craze has quietly emerged in China's open coastal cities, and snails in the market are out of stock every holiday.

It is rumored that the frozen meat of snails in the United States costs more than 300 yuan per kilogram, while in European countries, fresh snails are also sold for more than 100 yuan per kilogram, and the price is not high.

And in the developed coastal cities of our country, the price of high-quality snails is also not cheap.

They checked the information, snails have higher protein content than cattle, sheep, pork, but the fat is much lower than them, and contains various minerals and vitamins, is the first choice for dietary therapy for people with weak constitution, malnutrition and long-term illness.

In addition, the enzymes contained in snails can eliminate stagnation, and glutamic acid and aspartic acid can enhance the vitality of human brain cells. Scientists believe that eating more snails can have a nutritious and beautifying effect on the skin and hair.

"It's different from what I ate last time, I don't know if I can eat it. Another said.

He remembered that the last time he had eaten it was a white snail. The shell in front of him is a bit like agate, and it is not the same variety as the one he has eaten.

Zhang Fan opened his mouth and said: "Maybe what you eat outside is a white jade snail, which is a fine breed of snail that has been bred and is specially eaten." ”

White jade snail is a new breed of batch breeding in China, with delicate meat, snow white and large individuality, and will have stronger competitiveness in the international market.

"The one we see, called the brown cloud agate snail, is also edible. Before the white jade snail was successfully cultivated, everyone mainly ate this brown cloud agate snail. Zhang Fan told them.

Before the birth of the white jade snail, many countries mainly raised brown cloud agate snails because of its fast reproduction, strong disease resistance, easy to raise, and the most nutritious content.

Zhang Fan suddenly felt that raising snails is also a very potential breeding project!

After all, according to his understanding, snails are very easy to raise and easy to eat.

They are nocturnal, prefer dark and damp, photophobic and heat-sensitive, and mostly inhabit overgrown weeds, lush trees, lush crops, and humus-rich and loose soils, dead grass piles, burrows, and under branches and fallen leaves and stones.

The staple food is all kinds of vegetables, weeds and melon peels, leaves, stems, buds, flowers, and juicy fruits of crops, and all kinds of grass and barley feed, juicy feed, bran feed, and cake feed.

Just take care that the food is sufficient, otherwise, they will kill each other when they are hungry.

Finally, pay attention to do a good job of protection, there are many snail creatures that eat, such as chickens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, dogs, sheep and other livestock and poultry, as well as crows, rats, frogs, turtles, snakes, clams, fleas and flies, walking insects, toads, leopards, shrubs, ants, dragons, fungi, etc.

Therefore, snails are quite capable of pulling hatred, to the point of being an enemy!

But the real predator of the snail may not be imagined by most people.

It turned out to be a small firefly, how did they kill the snail?

It turns out that fireflies inject a toxin that paralyzes snails when they are unalert, and then slowly turns into a liquid for fireflies to enjoy.

"So these snails are the natives?" someone asked.

"It doesn't seem to be, this kind of snail is also coming in from abroad, you check the information specifically. Zhang Fan also didn't remember it too clearly.

When you check it on your mobile phone, you know that this is a snail from Africa, and it is also the largest snail in the world, and residents in Western Africa, especially the Gold Coast, regard snails as the only animal protein.

Because of its delicious taste, this kind of snail meat is very popular with European and American bosses, resulting in the African giant snail becoming the staple food snail in the world today. This kind of snail is a species that is more suitable for growing under the natural conditions of our country.

"Say, what do you want? I used to stir fry, I don't know if you like it or not. Zhu Youfu asked them.

"Then stir-fry! Boss, we can still trust the skills of your restaurant chef. "There are regulations on how much the processing fee is, and this is not the first time they have taken ingredients to a restaurant for processing.
