Chapter 113: Giant Catfish
PS: Thank you for the chubby 001, the ignorant young heart, and the glorious reward of the overnight autumn!I'm very tired today, and I'm late for the update, sorry!
Wei Hang didn't bother to sell those aquatic fish, so he gave some to the villagers, and raised the rest to eat. It's all nutritious! It's the best way to make soup.
"Capture a lot!" said the village party secretary with a smile.
He also just arrived at the scene, from the elementary school. The playground of the primary school, after today's construction, will almost be completed, and all that remains is some finishing touches, and the school will have a new look.
"It's okay, secretary, you will also catch two of you and go back to make soup tonight!" Wei Hang said.
There are more than 20 left, which is enough for my family to eat several meals, so I will generously send some out. Just now, the old people at the scene, Wei Hang brought one or two back to make up for their bodies.
"Yo! This thing is very good, use a pot of Huaishan to clear heat and detoxify, and it is best to drink it on this day. "The secretary is no longer polite to Wei Hang. This guy is now a local tyrant in the village, and it is very appropriate to fight local tyrants!
"It's also a good place to keep fish in the water. The old village chief said suddenly.
There are fish here, and as we all know, sometimes you can see them crawling ashore to bask in the sun. When I suddenly want to eat, some people in the village will come here to fish.
In fact, the turtle has the habit of "three joys and three fears", that is, happy to be quiet and afraid of surprise, like the sun and afraid of wind, and like clean and afraid of dirty.
They are sensitive to the sounds of their surroundings and can quickly dive into the mud at the slightest movement around them. In the natural environment, soft-shelled turtles like to inhabit rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and other waters with clean water quality, and often lie on the sunny shore to bask in the sun during the day, which is the "sunbathing back" in the mouth of the villagers of Tangjia Village.
Weihang is very clear. This is the soft-shelled turtle using ultraviolet rays in the sunlight to kill pathogenic bacteria on the body surface and promote the healing of the injured body surface. Drying the back raises body temperature and promotes food digestion.
"Fish farming is also a good project. Many people have also developed this breeding. However, this is always a freshwater product, and we are not suitable for it. Plus, it seems to cost more. Wei Hang shook his head and rejected the idea.
Now, almost all of them are bankrupt. If you fish in the water, then you are really going to go bankrupt. Unless wait a little longer. But even so, raising fish by the sea is not a good choice.
"Look, everybody. What a big pond fish. Someone screamed.
When they looked over, they saw a fish thicker than a bucket rolling in the mud, looking very much like a pond fish, with gray skin and no scales. There are two horns on the big head and fish whiskers on both sides.
Pond catfish should be the name of the southerners, and some people call it bearded catfish, which is actually a kind of catfish.
Bearded catfish have dendribranch-like auxiliary respiratory organs on the gills that directly use oxygen in the air. Therefore, it is highly resistant to hypoxia. As long as the skin remains moist, it will not die if it is left out of water for a long time.
In addition, bearded catfish have a strong ability to migrate, using strong hard thorns. Crawl on land with a supported body, cross many obstacles, and migrate from one body of water to another in search of a new living environment.
It's just that this fish is afraid of the cold. Below seven degrees, it is difficult to survive. So this fish mostly stays in the south.
In addition, except for the fish roe of catfish, which has a miscellaneous taste, it is not suitable for consumption. The whole body is a treasure, catfish is a precious nutritional product, as early as in the history books have been recorded, can be comparable to shark fin, wild soft-shelled turtle, its therapeutic effect and medicinal value is not possessed by other fish, the unique strong bones and longevity effect is its unique highlight.
However, some people dislike it for always burrowing in the mud and feeling dirty.
The pond fish I saw before were all big cups and bowls, but when I suddenly saw such a big one, it was no wonder that everyone was surprised, even if it was a backbone figure like the old village chief, he also took a few more looks.
"It doesn't look like a pond fish. The old village chief's eyes were more vicious, and he quickly saw that this giant fish was a little different from the pond fish.
"It's really not a pond fish, the pond fish can't grow that big, it's a kind of catfish, a giant catfish!" Wei Hang replied.
There are relatively few giant catfish in China, and most of them are alien species, so I dare not guarantee this. Wei Hang heard that in some places, the catfish weighing hundreds of catties caught were bigger than the current one.
At this time, a lot of people had already run over, and a few people took nets, covered the fish's head, and dragged them up. The giant catfish struggled violently, making it very difficult for the people to be in the lake.
One of the guys exerted too much force and his body was unstable, and a big maha fell into the mud and climbed out to become a clay figure, and this time the grandma couldn't recognize it.
When they saw that, everyone burst into laughter.
"Fuck it! Don't laugh, make you angry, you're not having a good time. The guy threatened.
However, everyone laughed even more fiercely and didn't take it to heart at all. What can you do? bite me?
"Ahem, boy Chen, you're exaggerating. Let's go wash it up!" the old village chief was also speechless. That shape is simply impossible to replicate.
"Damn, I know how to laugh at others, and it will be your turn in a while. The guy scolded and ran to clean it.
"Hey, don't laugh, drag it up, and run it away in a while!" shouted the village party secretary.
Only then did they stop and pull the catfish to shore with all their might. The catfish can survive for a long time out of the water, so when it comes to shore, the catfish is still violent, burrowing around, trying to get back into the water.
"How?" someone asked.
"Slaughter it!"
Everyone looked at Wei Hang, and they had moved so much manpower, material and financial resources on it, so the things in the lake naturally had to ask Wei Hang first.
"I'll let people see if this is a protected animal, if not, let it be!" Wei Hang frowned.
As far as he knows, there are fewer and fewer giant catfish in the world, and some countries have listed it as a protected animal. Of course, it is also limited to certain varieties.
The most famous is the Mekong giant catfish, which has been listed as a protected animal.
As soon as they heard that it might be a protected animal, everyone didn't dare to speak out. Although they are hillbillies, they also know that the law is ruthless, and those who break the law should not be touched.
Soon, Weihang's classmates who were studying for graduate school came with the news that the domestic giant catfish was basically not in the scope of protection. Besides, it may be an alien species, and it is not good to release it. Some alien species have almost no natural predators, and once they reproduce, they will cause great damage to the local ecology. In the end, he built a yƬ for Wei Hang, and it was best to raise it, otherwise he would kill it!
What are you kidding?Wei Hang shook his head.
"You guys deal with it!" Wei Hang began.
He won't want this giant catfish, the meat of the giant catfish is not delicious, this is known to many people.
The owner of the matter said so, a group of guys carried the giant catfish away, and they must have found a place to slaughter the giant catfish.
"It's hard to get the water in the middle!" said the pumping worker with a frown.
The lake has been drained in the first circle, but it is not easy to do it in the middle of the lake, and the water outlet has to be moved there, which requires a long water pipe! If you really want to do that, the cost will be even greater.
"It's a bit of a trick. "The old village chief is also aware of the trouble.
"It's okay, you go on. I asked the excavator to dig a big trench and bring the water to this side. "Wei Hang is not worried, it is good to have tools.
Anyway, the excavator is also available now, and the silt at the bottom of the lake will have to be dug up sooner or later, so it is not difficult to simply transfer it over and open a canal.
The old village chief said: Science is really powerful now, and it is not difficult to move mountains and reclaim the sea!
The workers in charge of pumping the water were overjoyed, and it was the best that they didn't have to go to such trouble and run around.
"Don't run to the middle of the lake. The old village chief shouted at the children.
How deep it is, even he doesn't know, and he doesn't know if there will be danger, especially those little guys, if they accidentally lose one of them, then they will be guilty.
The adults also drove the little ones to the side and let them play in the shallow water. If you don't let them play, it will definitely not work, and maybe they will break out en masse.
They just catch some small fish and shrimp in shallow water, catch crabs and so on.
"Hey, and big fish. The onlookers shouted.
As the water in the lake slowly lowered, some of the big fish couldn't stay stunned and turned out one after another to show their resistance. If this continues, it will threaten their living space, and the rabbit will also bite.
The old village chief and the others were not surprised, it was impossible for such a large sea lake to be without big fish. This lake has never dried up, and I don't know how many years it has been stored, and some of the long-lived fish in it may still be the ancestor-level store.
"This lake has been stored since our village moved over, and there must be a lot of big fish in it, what's so surprising?" the village party secretary scolded with a smile.
He told everyone that the village was moved during the Qing Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, the coast was blocked, and there were few villages by the sea. Especially in the north, there are often harassment from Japanese pirates, so many fishing villages are later immigrants.
When I first immigrated here, some feng shui masters said that the feng shui around the lake was good, and they almost had to build a village around the sea lake. But then I found out that when the tide is high, the tide will come up, and that dispelled that idea.
"In that case, if the lake is drained now, will it affect feng shui?" said someone who began to worry.
At some point, the fortune teller in the village was already standing by the lake, and when he heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Oh, that's not all, it will even improve Feng Shui. If the water of this lake does not flow, how can feng shui turn? In the past, it relied on the tide of the sea to come up, so that feng shui would not be as still as stagnant water, but it was always limited. If you dig through, the water here is flowing all the time, and the feng shui will naturally turn around. ā
The eloquence of fortune tellers and feng shui masters is first-class, and Wei Hang admires it quite a lot. It's not easy for such an abstract thing to be explained so clearly and straightforwardly by them. If they are teachers, what problems do students not understand?
As soon as everyone hears it, it makes sense! Everyone smiles and the feng shui improves, so it will be even better.
The old village elder twitched his face and said secretly: This is a place to make a fortune in the future, and feng shui will definitely improve in the future, still use you as an example?
However, it's not good to expose people in person, it's too immoral!(To be continued......
