218 Lamb char
However, Liao Fan was chattering and complaining, but he still sat down honestly to fish with Zeng Gong, forcing himself to imagine the delicacy of squirrel mandarin fish, hoping that this would drive away the cold.
"Damn, what is that?" Liao Fan, who was patiently fishing, was already infocused, looking left and right looking for new things, and suddenly a huge burly figure came into his eyes.
Zeng Gong was so frightened that he didn't expect to scare away a grass carp that was about to bite the hook, and glared at him helplessly, only to follow his gaze, it turned out to be a group of bighorn sheep who had crossed the Rocky Mountains to the pasture in search of grass to fight against the cruelty under the cold snow.
This year's blizzard in Montana has come a little too much, in addition to the first invasion of the heavy snowstorm, and then scattered blizzards continue to hit the vast land in the Yellowstone River Basin, the thick snow is quickly covered the surface, the weeds in the crevices of the rocks, resulting in a shortage of food for many animals, there have been a lot of conflicts between the cougars and bison herds and the ranchers, the cougars often attack the livestock in the pasture, as for the wild wolves have not found traces so far, may be stubbornly looking for food in the mountains。
"Boss, you scared my fish away, it's the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, there aren't many of them in North America, but there are a lot of them around, so there's no need to make a fuss. Zeng Gong said helplessly, then checked the bait and continued to wait for the mandarin fish to take the bait.
"Bighorn sheep, but they're big. Liao Fan scratched his head and said, it was the first time he had seen such a big sheep, but why did he want to eat them so much.
"Of course, bighorn sheep are the big ones in the sheep family. Their meat is said to be delicious. Zeng Gong said with some regret.
"Third child, you see it's freezing now. Let's stop fishing, how comfortable it is to make a pot of mutton hot pot. Liao Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Said eagerly.
"Do you like those sheep?" Zeng Gong teased his eyelids and said with some disdain: "There is a gun in the car, you try to shoot one, don't you believe that tomorrow there will be a protected animal organization to come to you to trouble? Boss, if you want to eat mutton hot pot, you can do it, caviar or something, we may not be able to get it for the time being, but this sheep still doesn't care about you?"
"No, the third child, just the sheep in your pasture, except for the yellow sheep. I don't want to eat anything else. Liao Fan suddenly lost his spirit when he heard this, and said in a whimsical manner.
"Those yellow sheep are what I use to breed and breed, boss, you can really say it. Zeng Gong glared at Liao Fan fiercely, and began to catch fish intently, since he had promised others, he felt that if he fulfilled it, the venom gland of this mandarin fish must be obtained as soon as possible.
The winter sun always feels lazy on the face, which makes people feel unrefreshed, and the weather in Montana feels good for Zeng Gong. Except in the mountains or in the snowstorms, the temperature is a little higher than in my hometown, and the air is more humid, and it has been like a fish in water for several months.
Zeng Gong, who squinted his eyes, waited for the fish to take the bait. Although it has a magical space, it is not as against the sky as imagined, and the mandarin fish hidden under the rocks at the bottom of the river will not be easily baited. Unless it's hungry, of course, there must be no other fish competing with it.
What's so unintentionally planted in the willows. This is not a mandarin fish that did not take the bait, but provoked a big guy. Perhaps he had made an impulse in the cold water that was not suitable for children, and his physical exertion was huge, and he was already hungry, and he did not see the trap in front of him clearly, and swallowed the bait in one gulp.
There was a sudden sharp pain in the mouth, which made it panic and rampage in the water, so as to get out of the control of the hook, but he didn't expect the hook in his mouth to sink deeper and deeper, but it was cheaper than Zeng Gong on the ice.
"Boss, hurry up and help. Zeng Gong shouted excitedly in a low voice.
Liao Fan, who was originally listless, stood up suddenly, completely unaware of something, and looked at Zeng Gong with some dismay, after all, it had been half a day and there was no gain at all.
"Prepare the net. Zeng Gong was in a hurry and hurriedly reminded.
"Oh oh" Liao Fan didn't know that Zeng Gong had gained something, and excitedly prepared the net pocket, looking forward to their first harvest.
Zeng Gong calmly grasped the fishing rod in his hand, sometimes loose and sometimes tight, the fish under the hook were like flies on the brow of the bottom of the water, struggling in vain, wasting his strength in vain, at this moment Zeng Gong is like an experienced old fisherman, controlling everything, everything can not escape the perception of his palm.
"Whoa. ”
The icy river water was excited, splashing countless splashes on Zeng Gong and Liao Fan's bodies, but who cares, they all looked at their first harvest this afternoon, and with the splashing water, they became even more excited, and their eyes widened as they looked at the fish that came out of the water.
The giant mouth greedily held the bait, refusing to let go, the two pairs of fish eyes were slightly convex and looked a little hideous, it seemed to be seventy or eighty centimeters, and the red spots on both sides of the more than ten kilograms suddenly revealed its identity, Zeng Gong didn't expect that he could catch a big lamb char.
The flower lamb char is named after the red spots distributed on the side of the body, commonly known as the flower lamb fish, which belongs to the order Salmoniformes, Salmonidae, and the genus of Charle. It is divided into land seal type and migratory type, with the characteristics of bright body color, high growth rate, high density resistance and high nutritional value, and is known as the "king of cold-water fish" with extremely delicate and delicious meat, and has high economic value. Japanese people like to make them into sashimi or sushi, while Europeans and Americans like to smoke and grill them.
"Flower lamb char. Zeng Gong was also very happy, he was able to catch a flower lamb char, which was also an unexpected joy, although he had a certain blood relationship with the peach blossom mandarin fish he was going to catch, but it was still far away.
"What kind of flower cake?" Liao Fan was simply confused, he didn't know what Zeng Gong was talking about, but he wanted to eat squirrel mandarin fish.
"It's a slamb char, it's very expensive in the international market, especially the Japanese like to make them into sashimi or sushi, and it's not as popular as tuna at all, so you're in for a good time today. Zeng Gong explained helplessly.
"Sushi, sashimi, I'm not very interested in little Japanese things, you better make Western food, don't tell me you can't cook Western food for so long in Laomei." Liao Fan looked like a taster, and he did ten out of ten foodies.
"Yes. Zeng Gong couldn't help baring his teeth for a while, it seemed that he was going to have more dinner in the evening. (To be continued......)
