Chapter Ninety-Five: When You Come Out to Eat Fish, You Must Know How to Distinguish Fish (Part II)

Okay, if you don't have a big head, you'll catch a big herring for us. It's hard to come and eat the best fish if you want to eat. Let's catch another two or three kilograms of catfish. The young man was very happy to settle on the fish he wanted.

"Okay. How about that big herring? About 10 kilograms, plus the smaller catfish, you are just the right person for a dozen people? About 1 kilogram of live fish per person, enough for you to eat. Paired with a copper pot of artichoke stewed rice, the guests who don't eat it haven't seen it yet!" the boss suggested for the sake of the guests.

"Good, good, you want it, you want it, you want it, take it out and weigh it. The young man was very satisfied with the service attitude of the owner of the fish farm, and waved his hand to let the owner of the fish farm hurry up to catch the fish.

"Okay. Xiaojun, take out the big herring for this big brother, and catch another two or three kilograms of catfish. The boss smiled and instructed the young man who was waiting with a net next to him, and let the little man start fishing from the big fish pond.

"Boss, you grass carp and herring look similar, don't make a mistake. The young man looked at the fish of all colors in the pond that had entered the water with the little man's net, and was so frightened that he began to scurry around and swim quickly, and his eyes were fixed on the big fish that day, and he said a word of anxiety.

"How can you be mistaken? The herring is dark in color, and the grass carp is light in color. Look at that big herring, how vigorous it is and how fast it swims. It grew up eating a lot of screws, not those grass carp that grew up eating grass, the meat quality will be so good and so valuable. The owner of the fish village solemnly pointed to the big fish that had been caught in the net, as if he knew that his life was not guaranteed, and he was desperately struggling to introduce the difference between herring and grass carp.

The young man watched as the young man fished out the fish and stretched his net pocket out in front of him for him to see. The young man stretched out his head to look closely, but he didn't see anything, but he nodded as if he was very knowledgeable, turned back to his companion and said, "I want this big herring stick." ”

The young man listened to him and made sure, put the big fish in the net pocket on the concrete floor, picked up a mallet and slammed it on the head of the big fish that was struggling with his life, and the big fish did not move. The young man put the big fish on the scale and shouted loudly in his mouth: "11.8 kilograms." ”

The young man who knocked out the big fish grabbed the net pocket, went to the fish pond to fish out a catfish with very obvious characteristics, repeated the action steps just now, and said loudly in his mouth: "3.7 kilograms." ”

The young man's kung fu of catching catfish, the owner of the fish village has skillfully lifted the big fish that had just been weighed from the scale, took it to the water pipe next to it and rinsed it, slaughtered and peeled it, and put it neatly into a large copper pot. Another young man picked up a large copper pot and brought it to a wood-fired stove not far away to boil. The owner of the fish farm did not stop, and handled the newly weighed catfish smoothly, and the skillful movements surprised the group of guests who watched.

Seeing that he ordered the fish he had weighed into the pot and began to cook on the firewood, the young man from Chuncheng walked out of the kitchen backyard with his partner and went to the restaurant outside to wait for the meal. The owner of the fish farm rinsed the blood stains on his hands on the water pipe, and then turned back and greeted the new guests with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the owner of the fish village came over to greet him, Niu Weiqiang looked at the boss quietly and said, "Boss, there are only four of us, just catch three or four kilograms of herring for us." ”

The boss heard Niu Weiqiang's accent clearly, smiled and didn't say anything, instructed the guy to fish out a fish of moderate weight, and still stretched out the net pocket in front of Niu Weiqiang, asking him to look at it and confirm. This has become their procedural process, which looks quite formal, so that the guests watching on the spot can't find any faults.

Qi Jingtao glanced at the struggling so-called herring in the net pocket, stepped forward to look at the boss and smiled, pointed to the struggling fish in the net pocket and said, "Boss, why are the scales of your herring so regular, even the grid can be seen clearly, and the head is not sharp enough, is it rounded?"

When the boss heard this, his face changed slightly, he walked to the net pocket and pretended to take a look, and yelled at the young man: "Xiaojun, what do you think, you have caught the wrong fish?"

The young man cooperatively stretched out his head to look at the fish in the net pocket, and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I read it wrong. ”

"Look at it. The herring that sank at the bottom of the pond with a blue and black back was only three and a half kilograms, which was just right for the four of us. Qi Jingtao ignored the double reed performance of the young man and the boss, and pointed to a real herring in the fish pond.

The young man glanced at Qi Jingtao clearly, and quickly put the net pocket into the fish pond and shook it, releasing the fish just now. Skillfully sink the net pocket to the bottom of the pool, paddle the water and gently move in the fish pond, hold the small herring designated by Qi Jingtao and drag it out of the water, and stretch the net pocket over again for the guests to see.

Niu Weiqiang, Liu Jianmin, and Zhang Hong all gathered around to look at the herring in the net pocket, and Qi Jingtao smiled and said: "Mr. Niu, the appearance of the herring and the grass carp are very similar, and it is not easy to distinguish from the appearance. They are distinguished by their external colors, but they are not entirely distinguished by color.

Generally speaking, herring is blue-black and darker in color, while grass carp has a grass-like yellow color and is lighter in color. However, due to the different ages of the fish and the different places where they are farmed, the color of the fish is not easy to contrast.

For example, the big grass carp just now, the color is much darker, and it is not much different from the herring. When you order herring, in addition to looking at the color of the fish, you mainly look at the scales. The scales of herring are inconspicuous and somewhat messy, while the grass carp has very obvious net-like characteristics.

If you look at the scales of this herring, it looks messy, not as obvious as the one just now? If you look at the head of this fish, the head is different. The head of the grass carp is fan-shaped, and the head of the herring is narrow and long. If you look closely, does it look like a cone?"

The owner of the fish village watched quietly from the side, and only after listening to Qi Jingtao finish speaking did he say in a curtive voice: "This brother looked carefully. Hehe, the fish swim in the pool, sometimes it is not clear to see, and sometimes it is easy to make mistakes. Hehehe. ”

Qi Jingtao said casually: "Hehehe, you can't see clearly in the fish pond, just take it out and look at it." Boss, weigh us!"

When those Spring City guests ordered fish just now, Qi Jingtao didn't need to meddle in things, to break the boss's tricks just now, and he wouldn't be a bad guy for no reason. This kind of drama is staged in these fish farms every day, and the guests who come to eat fish do not know how to distinguish the fish, and they cannot be deceived by it.

After the group of guests went out, Qi Jingtao defended his own interests when he only had his own people, and he didn't get too entangled in the matter of catching the wrong fish just now, which is nothing. The boss was very appreciative and personally knocked the fish unconscious and weighed it. As soon as the fish was put on the scale, he looked back at Qi Jingtao with a surprised face and said, "Brother, your eyes are poisonous, just 3.5 kilograms." ”

"Hehehe, my family sells fish, the boss will make fish as soon as possible, right? Also, we can put more potatoes in our copper pot stewed rice." Hehehe, that's it. ”

Qi Jingtao said to the boss with a smile, then turned his head to Niu Weiqiang and continued: "Also, Mr. Niu, if you bring guests to Jiangchuan to eat the famous big-headed fish in the future, you must see it clearly." Big-headed fish, big-headed fish, not the kind of fish that has a big head to be called big-headed fish. That's because the head of bighead fish is the most delicious and nutritious. The locals invite people to eat big-headed fish, and only the most distinguished guests can eat the head of big-headed fish. Bighead fish look big or small, and they may not be able to distinguish it from carp. The most obvious difference between the big-headed fish and the carp is that the big-headed fish is a carp, but the big-headed fish has absolutely no whiskers, even a little whisker is not a big-headed fish. ”

Niu Weiqiang and the others suddenly realized, Liu Jianmin gave Qi Jingtao a thumbs up, "Xiao Qi, admire and admire, you didn't have some fish today, and we will eat grass carp at the price of herring like those people later." ”

"You people in the city can't tell the difference between the fish species, so it's easy to make your money! If you eat ordinary carp when you have the money for a big fish that day, then you are really wronged. Qi Jingtao ordered the fish they needed, and watched with their own eyes as the owner of the fish village put their herring in the copper pot, and then came to the restaurant arranged by the lake outside and waited for the meal.
