Chapter 959: Target
Grabbing the piranha and taking off the hook, Ronnie glanced casually twice, reached out and handed it back, "Here you go!"
Atletico stretched out his hand to take it, grabbed the small fish that was struggling and looked down, the body shape, body color, teeth, eyes, gill cover, scales, pectoral fins, and tail did not fall??? .?
"Haha! It's time to eat it now, right?" Zhang Xu Yao's face showed excitement, "This fish is a female, I don't know if there is any fish roe?"
She didn't inquire carefully, but Tang Jiayi already knew the result, and shook her head lightly, "I won't eat it, I'll let it go later." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Xuyao turned his head, a pair of big eyes flickering, "Why? I haven't heard that piranhas are protected animals! Don't experts also say that piranhas are best eaten and not released?"
Tang Jiayi smiled and raised her fingers, "Dear, you missed six words, piranhas are an invasive alien species in China, and the fishery administration and animal protection departments naturally oppose the release and encourage them to be eaten." ”
Finger tapped at the screen and gently threw the question: "But where is he now?"
"What's wrong with the place of origin? I haven't heard that Brazilians want to protect piranhas?" Zhang Xuyao's eyes lit up, "Ha! Could it be that he doesn't want to slaughter animals in public because he cares about his identity?"
British veteran Bell Grylls is known worldwide for his work with Discovery Channel on the Manvsild TV reality show, and has been hailed by fans as "the man at the top of the food chain". Driven by him, more and more people went into the wilderness with cameras, using the camera to record themselves hunting animals, collecting birds' eggs, and digging roots, in an attempt to replicate his success, which was also welcomed and sought after to varying degrees.
However, some people love and some people hate, and the opposition to such programs is gradually getting louder, and animal protectionists say that hunting is suspected of animal cruelty, and if you kill protected animals, it is suspected of violating the law, and calling on the official to crack down on restrictions. In Zhang Xuyao's view, it is not impossible for Atletico Madrid, as a public figure, to avoid risks with scruples of opposing opinions.
"No," Tang Jiayi shook her head, "Piranhas are not sharks, there are enough of them and there is no extinction crisis, and no one will be aggrieved for them." He doesn't eat it just because he can't get used to eating raw meat. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp "pop!" from the TV.
Turning his head, Atletico Madrid's hands were empty, and the piranha in his hand had fallen into the turbid river and disappeared without a trace, as if he was cooperating with his wife's statement. Of course, this is just an illusion, the TV program is pre-recorded, and Atletico himself has long since left Brazil and returned to China to participate in the entrepreneurs' forum.
"It's really lost?" Zhang Xuyao was very surprised, "This performance is too disrespectful, right?"
"How to play dedication?"
"Fish is rich in protein, it's a waste if you don't eat it! If Bei Ye is here, he will definitely open his stomach and tear off his intestines, and then he will bite down, this is the posture that a wilderness food show should have!"
Tang Jiayi looked at each other with a smile, "Girl, the fish is delicious, but you also have to be careful of bacteria and parasites! Bell did this to simulate the extreme state of survival in the wilderness, infected with parasites is just getting sick, and at that time he would die without eating meat and drinking water, so he naturally had to swallow his mouth. However, afterwards, it is still indispensable to take anthelmintic drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs, and it has converged a lot in recent years, after all, the physique is not as good as before when you are older. ”
Tang Jiayi reasoned with the facts, but Zhang Xuyao put on a stubborn posture and argued forcefully: "It's not large-scale farming, how many bacterial parasites can there be? ?”
"Large-scale farming is indeed more likely to accumulate stubborn antimicrobial resistant bacteria, but wild animals are also full of bacteria and parasites. The reason why tuna, salmon trout and so on are okay to eat raw is because they are all deep-sea cold-water fish, which have fewer bacteria and parasites, and the chance of carrying mermaid diseases is relatively small. However, even so, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and EFSA (European Food Safety Agency) still recommend that people heat it before consuming it. ”
"Compared with marine fish, eating raw freshwater fish has a higher chance of getting sick, and right now," Tang Jiayi pointed to the turbid river water floating on the screen, "The water quality drops during the flood season, and the danger is even greater." ”
"Huh!" Zhang Xu Yao scoffed, "The FDA and EFSA are bureaucrats, so naturally they are serious, so even if something happens, they can't be blamed." And, if I'm not mistaken, salmon don't just live in the deep sea, do they?"
"Of course, the fish that comes out of the sea are sea fish. ”
The word salmon is a Cantonese transliteration of the English word salmon, which originally referred to the salmonid salmon (salmo_salar_linnaeus, 1758) from Norway, and was named in 1758 by Linnaeus, the pioneer of the taxonomic "binomial method". This type of fish is a typical migratory fish, which spends its juvenile season in mountain streams, then swims with the stream to the sea, grows up in the sea and matures again, and then migrates back to the sea, laying eggs at the original birthplace to mate and then die.
Because of their habits and commercial practices, other salmonids with similar migratory habits are also called "salmon", especially the low-cost rainbow trout, which can be farmed in freshwater, and are often used by traitors to pass off as salmon.
"Hee-hee, I'm just casually talking, it doesn't matter if it's Norwegian fish, or British fish, or Pacific fish, or Alaskan fish, as long as it's delicious, it's fine. ”
"You're a big foodie!"
"That's," Zhang Xuyao calmly accepted the foodie hat that the other party ran over, "Who doesn't love food? ”
"And what is he?"
Raising her eyebrows, Zhang Xuyao smiled and said, "I eat so much at every meal, isn't it something on the rice bucket?"
"Understood," Tang Jiayi nodded with a smile, "I wrote down this, and I'll help you convey it when I get back." ”
"Don't, sister!" Zhang Xuyao got up and half-knelt on the sofa, pretending to beg for mercy: "If you tell my brother, he will kill me!"
"How come?" Ms. Tang sat up slightly, "At most, I would like to ask you to eat a few more raw fish, such as Hezhesha raw fish feast, Yellow River carp, Yangtze River saury, Shunde fish sheng, and various versions of salmon sashimi, both northern and southern flavors, guaranteed to satisfy you." ”
"Don't, don't!" Zhang Xuyao hurriedly shook his hand, "Forget it." ”
Although she keeps saying that it is okay to eat raw and that the sashimi is delicious, she herself only tastes this kind of dish occasionally when she travels, and she is not a fan of sashimi, but a proper "good dragon leaf gong".
Glancing at the screen and seeing that the boat carrying Atletico was still floating on the water, she changed the subject, "That's right, sister!"
"Huh?"
"Heilongjiang sturgeon, Yellow River carp, Yangtze River saury, have you eaten all of these, how does it taste?"
These three types of fish are very famous in China, and supporters praise their rarity and deliciousness, while critics say that they are not worthy of their name, and the occasional "sky-high fish" incident has become a weapon for these high-end fish to increase their fans.
"Of course it's all fish!"
The curiosity that Zhang Xuyao had just mentioned fell to the ground in an instant, turning into a voice containing resentment and grief and indignation, "Cut!"
With wide eyes and fixed eyes looking at each other, she said slowly, "Don't pretend that we are still good friends." ”
Tang Jiayi knew what the other party meant, smiled and explained: "Of course, wild fish and farmed fish are different, there are differences in growth years, daily bait, and range of activities, and it will definitely reflect on the taste and nutrition in the end, which is an indisputable fact." But the question is, how big is the gap, and is it worth the extra money?"
After a short pause, she gave her own answer: "Actually, wild fish is very similar to organic vegetables, it is more nutritious and tastes better, but it is also more expensive." From the perspective of marginal benefits, they are not cost-effective products, spending several times more than dozens of times the procurement cost, but only getting a little extra nutrition. But it's a different story when you factor in the psychology of taste and satisfaction, and it's natural that some people are willing to pay an extra premium to enhance the experience. ”
"Just like metaphysics?" asked Teacher Zhang.
As a music teacher, she is more or less half an insider, so she naturally knows how huge the price difference between different grades of musical instruments and audio equipment is, and she has also heard a little about the "metaphysical jokes" spread everywhere on the Internet.
"Metaphysics" is actually an ordinary person's response to HIFI (audio hi-fi). Their ears are not strong enough, their hearts are not sensitive enough, and their financial resources are not rich enough, they can't hear the difference in sound quality between monocrystalline lines and miscellaneous lines, and they can't evaluate the quality of power amplifiers and sound systems.
"Almost," Tang Jiayi nodded, "Actually, whether it is delicious or not, the variety of ingredients is only a small part, mainly depends on the chef's skills and experience, as well as the psychology of the most important diners. ”
Opening his mouth to "experience" and closing his mouth to "psychology", it is clear which side Tang Jiayi is standing on. Thinking of this, Zhang Xuyao couldn't help laughing, "Sister, you really don't change your true colors!"
This sentence was a bit abrupt, but the former still understood the meaning smoothly, and shook his head slightly, "No way, three generations can produce a nobleman, and your brother and I basically have no hope." ”
If it is in a formal occasion, she can be dignified and decent, but not in private, after all, without the etiquette training and life influence from childhood to adulthood, it is difficult to reverse the worldview, values and living habits, and she is still the original ordinary girl in her bones.
Zhang Xuyao shook her head lightly, knowing that Sister Yi was just talking, as far as she knew and saw, the Atletico couple didn't actually care about these things, and in private they were not much different from usual, and they never put on a stand.
Her movements aroused the curiosity of the other party, and she asked, "What are you doing shaking your head?"
"It's nothing," Zhang Xuyao responded casually, and asked rhetorically: "Sister, what about Zhizhi and the others?
was exposed in person, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but blush, glanced at the TV screen, and changed the topic: "Do you know why your brother ran to Pantanal?"
Also glancing at Ma Jing and his party walking through the water hyacinth grassland, Zhang Xuyao nodded, "I know! Of course, it's to publicize the protection of wetlands!"
"When it comes to wetlands, where are there no large wetlands in China, such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, Dongting, and Poyang? There are also a lot of wetlands in Europe, so why should we go far and near?"
"The Pantanal isn't the biggest in the world, it's normal to find the biggest if you want to find it. ”
Tang Jiayi looked at the other party, "Do you believe this?"
"Ah!" Zhang Xuyao came up with a new reason, "that is, publicly-funded tourism." There are hundreds of species of wildlife in the Pantanal wetlands, from toucans, blue-green macaws, egrets, capybaras, alligators crawling everywhere, and if you're lucky, you can even see cougars. ”
"Excellent?" Tang Jiayi pointed to the TV screen, "If you want to see so many wild animals, you have to rush to the end of the dry season in July, when the dry ground is more concentrated and it is more convenient to walk." Now I can only take a boat to see the river rising during the flood season. By the way, there are quite a lot of alligators. ”
"So what is it for?" Mr. Zhang finally returned to the right track of being studious and inquisitive.
"What else can there be? more money to burn!"
Zhang Xuyao had a long mouth, but she didn't expect Tang Jiayi to throw out such an answer.
When she came back to her senses, she asked curiously, "Why did you think of going to Brazil to invest?"
"He was fooled, and he went over there to get to the bottom!"
"Oh!" habitually prolonged the voice, Zhang Xuyao easily accepted this statement, the 14 World Cup, the 16 Olympic Games, two consecutive large-scale events did not bring the Brazilians expected the "big boom", the whole country is still in the "Dutch disease" brought about by the fall in iron ore prices. In this case, Brazil is naturally eager for foreign investment, and in the past, it could get the most preferential conditions, which can be regarded as a bottom-hunt.
However, it is also risky to buy the bottom, if it does not rise in the later stage, and the bottom is not a reverse quilt, it will be interesting.
"By the way, what kind of project is my brother investing in?" she asked, "It shouldn't be an industrial project, right? The Olympic venues were not built until the last month, and the efficiency of the Brazilians in industrial construction is really speechless." ”
"Of course," Tang Jiayi nodded, "He went to Pantanal, naturally because the project was in that area, and he planned to build a special theme park there." ”
