Chapter 756 Cleaning up the river

While Xiao Peng was still thinking about how to answer, Emilia asked Xiao Peng an irrelevant question: "Honey, don't you use your big thick needle to treat people? Why don't you use it today? I see that you are so tired." ”

Xiao Peng replied with a smile: "Amilia, do you think that if I suddenly take out a silver needle and stab his granddaughter in front of Patton, they won't shoot me?" So I can only use the most difficult qi therapy in our Huaxia medical technique, this method is very difficult, fortunately, it is not disgraceful, and the final treatment effect is not bad." ”

Barton listened with a look of gratitude: "It seems that this treatment method is very draining of your physical strength, and the way you sweated profusely just now scared me, thank you for everything you have done for Emile." What if something goes wrong with Emile。。。。。。 Alas, I can't even imagine it. ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Barton, in fact, I want to thank you or thank yourself, if you hadn't invited me to come to you to play, I wouldn't have found out about this, and I wouldn't have been able to save Emile, right?" But I want to tell you a word you take it to heart, if the child is unwell, don't pay attention to it, and don't use the way adults interpret it to judge the child's condition. In our TCM system, pediatrics is also called 'dumb medicine', because children cannot express their conditions correctly, they have to rely on the doctor's own judgment, and because of this, TCM pediatrics is the most difficult subject among the thirteen departments of TCM. Your Western medicine is not so particular, but it is best to send the child to the hospital as soon as possible if he is unwell. Oh, you can help me refuse your health department here, our Huaxia medical skills are completely different from your Mi country's medical skills, I can't explain it to them clearly. ”

Emilia listened to Xiao Peng's words and came to her senses: "I know, I know, Barton, I'll tell you." ”

After speaking, he talked to Barton excitedly, and pulled from the acupuncture point to the thirty-six and seventy-two of Tiangang. Xiao Peng listened to it and almost laughed, what Emilia said was exactly what Xiao Peng was talking nonsense with Martin and her after giving her acupuncture, Emilia remembered it clearly, and told Barton and Arecy it word for word at this time, Xiao Peng was okay and happy.

After doing a lot of insecticide work, Xiao Peng said: "You should pay more attention to it, any rabbit pet and the like may have fleas, and if these animals are bitten by infected fleas, or have contact with infected animals, then the germ can also spread to humans and other animals." But don't worry too much, there are now ways to treat Western medicine. George: They should come back with the medicine. ”

Barton laughed, "Anyway, I really want to thank you." You are definitely the best gift God has given me. ”

Xiao Peng also smiled: "This is God's reward for your righteous words yesterday, at any time, racial discrimination is a wrong act." Barton, when are we going to clean up the trash?"

Barton was speechless, "Are you still thinking about this?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course, is this the purpose of my visit?" ”

Barton smiled: "Well, now that the room is full of insecticide, we can't entertain you, let's go to the river for a while." After saying hello, he said hello to Jane, and took Xiao Peng and others to drive the boat up the river.

Patton's boat was a small wooden boat with an engine, and there were a lot of ropes and the like, as well as hooks and rods and nets. Xiao Peng noticed that there were oxygen cylinders and diving goggles next to him: "Barton, do you still want to go into the water to salvage?"

"Yes, there are more and more tourists on the other side of the Grand Canyon, and there is more and more garbage rushing here. Although the Colorado River is home to the Glen Canyon Dam and the Hoover Dam, this does not stop the garbage from flowing downstream. Looking at the river is very clear, in fact, there is all kinds of garbage at the bottom of the river, and everything can be fished up, George and I once even fished up a small Beetle car at the bottom of the river. ”

Xiao Peng sighed: "Your work is so hard?"

"It's okay. "That's a good income, the Beetle sells for hundreds of dollars, and when we clean up the river, we sometimes find something valuable, and we sell it for a small amount of money," Barton said. However, the sediment content of the Colorado River is too high, which adds a lot of difficulty to our salvage. ”

Xiao Peng smiled after hearing this: "We have a pair of post-90s children in Xishuangbanna, Huaxia, who specialize in extracting sand and gravel in the river, and selling sand to make money after drying. I can earn about 200 US dollars a day, which is a lot of income in China. ”

Barton nodded: "That's a good income for us, but it's useless for us." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why?"

Barton laughed: "We are surrounded by desert here, and everything will be lacking, but it is impossible to lack sand. ”

"Ugh. Xiao Peng was speechless, Barton was really right, there were sand sellers in the desert?

He was about to say something when Barton suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"

As soon as Xiao Peng turned around, he saw a white object smashed towards Aracy, Xiao Peng's hand stretched out directly like lightning, and grabbed the flying white object, but when he grabbed it, Xiao Peng was happy: "What a big silver carp!"

Barton stopped the engine directly and scolded angrily: "This damn Asian carp! When you hear the sound of the engine, you will jump up, last time George was smashed directly into the river by an Asian carp, God, is there a way to destroy these monsters?"

Xiao Peng was still there happily holding the big silver carp, and after listening to Patton's words, he asked, "Didn't you say that only the Mississippi River basin is flooded with Asian carp?"

Barton said angrily: "Look at that big monster in your hand, how fat is it? This thing can be eaten and raw, it won't be long before a small fish can grow so big! You can't kill them at all! It won't be long before the entire Stars and Stripes Kingdom will be occupied by this thing!"

The Asian carp is definitely the existence that makes the whole country of Stars and Stripes smell and color. The so-called 'Asian carp' does not simply refer to carp, but is a general term for the carp of the order Cypriniformes, such as herring, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp, crucian carp and carp.

In the 70s of the last century, the Stars and Stripes introduced Asian carp to combat the algae that were rampant in the southern hinterland, after all, these Asian carp were like vacuum cleaners, eating 40% of their body weight of algae and plankton every day. But what I didn't expect was that because of the flooding, they then went north with the Mississippi River and began to enter its tributaries, including the Illinois River, which is now threatening the Great Lakes of the Stars and Stripes Country step by step. This has seriously damaged the original ecological environment of the lake in Mizhou. The Asian carp in the Stars and Stripes are definitely big guys with big physiques.

The proliferation of Asian carp is also related to the living habits of the people of the Stars and Stripes, who rarely eat freshwater fish and dislike the bones of fish.

There are only two types of freshwater fish that are popular in the Stars and Stripes, and that is tilapia and catfish. The reason is very simple, these two kinds of fish do not have horizontal spines, and the people of the Stars and Stripes use forks to eat, can you imagine the appearance of picking fish bones with forks? And there is no human being, the biggest natural enemy, where dozens of catties of Asian carp are very common.

In order to eradicate Asian carp, researchers and environmental protection personnel spent hundreds of millions of meters of gold to put a large number of 'fish killing drugs' into the river, hoping to maintain the 'ecological balance' of the water body and prevent the Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes. However, a year later, only one Asian carp, less than 60 centimeters in length, was found among the poisoned species, and the other poisoned fish were 'native citizens'. Since 2014, the Stars and Stripes have spent another 18 billion meters of gold to build a dam over a 25-year period to prevent the Great Lakes from being invaded by Asian carp, especially silver carp and bighead carp, which are directly defined by the Stars and Stripes as the 'most harmful fish species'. There was also a group of experts who went to China to find a solution to the Asian carp epidemic in the Stars and Stripes.

As a matter of fact, the Chinese people really can't learn how to solve the flood of Asian carp, so why can't Asian carp flood in China? The Chinese people love to eat it! And how can the people of the Stars and Stripes solve the flooding of Asian carp? Fish it up and make it into fishmeal, and then make it into feed and chemical fertilizer。。。。。。

Xiao Peng originally thought that the Chinese people coming to the Stars and Stripes would definitely solve the problem of the flood of carp in Asia, but later found that what he thought was too simple. This problem really can't be solved by sending a group of foodies.

Just as the waters of the Mississippi River were heavily polluted during industrialization, a large number of pollutants in the water quality remained in aquatic organisms, especially freshwater fish species, especially Asian carp in the waters near the Great Lakes. After disemboweling, a pungent smell came to my nose. The taste of Asian carp on the other side of the Mississippi River, tsk, is really inedible.

Compared with the Mississippi River, the Colorado River is less polluted, after all, the industrial development here is relatively backward, and after walking through the Grand Canyon National Park, no one dares to pollute here. But there is another problem here, and that is the Stars and Stripes' wildlife protection regulations.

All wildlife here is protected by law, including the Asian carp, which they consider 'damned'.

To put it funny, there is a fishing method in China called empty hook hanging fish, as the name suggests, it is to use a hook to hang the fish out of the water, without waiting for the fish to be hooked. It is quite common in southern China, especially in winter, when fish mostly hibernate at the bottom of the water and are inactive. This method makes it easy to hook the fish.

But if you use this method to hang fish in the United States? I'm sorry, you're breaking the law. Because you violated the subjective will of the fish, it was not willingly hung up by you, you dare to hang the fish?

Wildlife protection in the Stars and Stripes is so awesome!
