"As you say. Guo Wei nodded and said, "It is also a coastal province, but the whole territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is in the south, and the problem of invasive species is naturally more serious than that of Handong." ”

He seemed to remember something: "But there is one thing that makes it difficult for me to understand why bullfrogs are also overflowing...... I think it's delicious. ”

Lin Han smiled and said, "The power of foodies, after all, is also limited. ”

The bullfrog is a large edible frog with a lot of meat and a delicate texture.

The largest of these, which can weigh up to 2 kilograms, is also ridiculously large, surpassing many small frogs.

Because the bullfrog is delicious and has certain medicinal value, it is the main breeding species of edible frogs around the world, and it is almost the only amphibian that can be openly sold in the vegetable market in China.

Bullfrog was officially introduced to China in the 60s of the 20th century, when major newspapers and media enthusiastically reported on the "bullfrog diplomacy" between China and Cuba.

The so-called "bullfrog diplomacy" refers to Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro's introduction to the breeding and utilization of bullfrogs in Cuba, so the Chinese side decided to introduce a batch of bullfrogs from Cuba for food.

To this end, the state has also set up a working group responsible for the introduction of bullfrogs, and has conducted study and investigation on how to transport and breed bullfrogs.

A batch of large-scale edible bullfrogs donated by Cuba to China was finally delivered by air, and the breeding units were respectively transported to some areas in the southeast of China for artificial breeding work.

At that stage, it was not easy for people to have enough to eat, so where would they think about ecological security.

As a result, some bullfrogs were able to escape into the wild and quickly became ecological killers threatening native species.

In the end, the bullfrog was selected as the first batch of invasive species announced by China, and it was the only vertebrate animal in this list.

Its status in the invasion circle is also unique.

The main reason why foodies have not been able to curb the proliferation of bullfrogs is that the reproductive ability of bullfrogs is much beyond people's imagination, and the population reproduces very quickly and efficiently.

And the bullfrog itself is also very edible - there is almost nothing it cannot eat, it can be called the natural enemy of various amphibians, and has a very strong survival ability.

Of course, compared with North America, the infestation of bullfrogs in China is not too serious. The main concern is to prevent bullfrogs from escaping again in the farm.

As for how to control bullfrogs, Lin Han actually already had some ideas in his heart.

"Director Guo, I don't know if you can provide me with some information about the bullfrog farms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces?"

……

Feng Shiping is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, his family is in Shaoxing, he runs a large-scale bullfrog farm, and his economic situation is relatively wealthy.

He was also a college student, and in terms of academic qualifications, he was relatively outstanding among his peers. Having said that, after graduating, Feng Shiping worked in Shanghai for several years, and his savings were far from enough to buy a house locally.

has been studying hard for more than ten years, but in the end, it is not as good as a group of uncles and aunts in the magic capital......

Feng Shiping felt that his values had been mercilessly slaughtered.

So it didn't take long for him to give up his goal of working hard in the magic capital, and instead returned to his hometown and started a bullfrog breeding business.

With personal struggle and historical process, Feng Shiping's bullfrog farm has developed rapidly, which is second to none in Shaoxing and is also quite influential in the bullfrog breeding industry in the province.

It's just that since the past two years, bullfrog farming has gradually encountered difficulties.

The booming business of bullfrog farming has attracted more and more people to join the industry, and while the output has increased rapidly, prices and profits have inevitably begun to decline.

If that's all, it's not a big problem, after all, the market economy, which industry is like this, and standing up is the next spring.

The most serious problem is that bullfrogs, unlike other farmed animals, are "ecological killers".

As long as a few bullfrogs run out of the farm, the next year, all kinds of amphibians in the vicinity will suffer, and the spread is very rapid, and it will not stop at all.

Because of this, the faces of local governments on bullfrog farmers can be said to be becoming more and more ugly.

In particular, in the area of group breeding, it is not only easy for bullfrogs to escape, but also exacerbates the local ecological burden and causes serious eutrophication of water bodies.

Since last year, many farms have had to close down due to poor management or government interference. The better ones have also begun to reduce the scale of production.

In such an environment, Feng Shiping couldn't help but feel a little self-assured, for fear that he would close the door one day.

At noon that day, Feng Shiping, who had just finished eating, went out to the farm alone.

"Goo-goo-goo-"

In the pond fenced by nets, a large wave of bullfrogs swim in it, sometimes making a thick cry, quite like a cow's call.

Squatting on the edge of the pond and watching stunned for a long time, Feng Shiping sighed and was about to leave, but the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

When the phone was connected, he greeted warmly: "Cousin." ”

His cousin is not ordinary, he is the engineering director of Huaxia United Engineering Company and a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise.

At the beginning, Feng Shiping went home to breed bullfrogs, and borrowed some money from this cousin, otherwise it would be important to say whether the farm could be run.

On the other side of the phone was Guo Wei's voice: "Shiping, how has your farm been running recently." ”

"It's still the same, make do with it......"

Guo Wei said with a smile: "What is the matter, I have heard, the Dongtai Municipal Government has announced the news, in order to take care of the interests of farmers, it has decided to wait for this year's bullfrog harvest to close down a large number of farms." You're probably not much better. ”

"Huh...... Hehe......"

Feng Shiping laughed twice, not knowing what to say for a while.

Guo Wei said at this time: "Now there is an opportunity, maybe it can get you out of the predicament, do you want to know about it?"

Opportunity?

Feng Shiping was stunned, and then hurriedly reacted: "Of course!"

"You've heard about the control of invasive species in Handong Province. ”

"I heard. ”

Guo Wei continued: "The boss of the company that took over the cleanup of invasive species in Handong is a friend of mine, and now he plans to come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to expand his business. ”

Feng Shiping was a little sweaty: "What kind of opportunity is this...... Isn't bullfrog an invasive species? ”

Guo Wei laughed twice: "Don't worry, although I don't know much about this, since I said that it is an opportunity, it is definitely not a bad thing." ”

"In the past two days, that boss wants to meet with you, what do you think?"
