Chapter 196: Lotus Vegetables
"This reservoir is still not enough to raise fish, so how can we improve its utilization?"
Every day, he was pulled by Denise to the edge of the reservoir to fish, and looking at this reservoir every day, Lin Quan always felt like something was wrong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But he couldn't remember what was wrong.
"Lin, do you remember the last time we went to Hangzhou, where it was called a lake?"
Lin Quan looked at Denise and said, "Did you say Hangzhou West Lake?"
What lake does Hangzhou have? Most people will think of Hangzhou West Lake!
The name of West Lake is a household name throughout the country, although it is not the largest lake in Chinese cities, the largest is the East Lake in Wuhan, but compared to the East Lake, the West Lake is undoubtedly much more beautiful.
"Well, yes, that's right, where, there are a lot of big pink flowers with big disc-like leaves growing in the water in that place, what's that thing called?"
"Lotus?"
Lin Quan was stunned and said, and then was stunned as if someone had clicked on the acupoint, lotus, lotus root, lotus vegetable!
Isn't that missing?
"Honey, you've done me a great favor!"
Lin Quanxing rushed over and gave Denise a bear hug, then kissed her the forehead and ran away excitedly.
Denise was very puzzled, she didn't understand what she had helped him with?
She didn't expect that her topic would untie a knot that had been blocked in Lin Quan's heart for a long time.
"Some aquatic plants can be planted in the reservoir, these aquatic plants are best to have certain economic benefits, if there is an ornamental effect, it is the best, after all, this reservoir is also used as a fishing place to entertain tourists, and the above test rate, with ornamental and economic value of aquatic plants, the best is not the lotus root?
Lotus root is also called lotus vegetable, there are more than 3,000 years of planting history in China, the economic value of this thing is good, and the key is that her image is very good, the lotus is not only beautiful, but also noble, the ancient poets have praised her: out of the silt but not stained, clear ripples but not demons!
Because of the high image of the lotus, it is loved by everyone in parks everywhere because it is an ornamental plant, can provide oxygen to the fish in the park's water lakes, and can also improve water quality.
The lotus flowers are beautiful, the lotus leaves are also beautiful, and this thing can also grow edible rhizomes such as lotus roots and lotus roots, so her comprehensive utilization value is very high!
Lotus root basically grows in all provinces in China, and it is more common in central and southern Jiangnan, of which Hubei is the main production area, because there are more lakes in Hubei, the province of a thousand lakes and the city of one hundred lakes are here, and in the Hunan cuisine that is closer to Hubei, there are more than ten kinds of dishes about lotus root, including dry stir-fried lotus root, fried lotus root clip, hot and sour lotus root, hot and sour lotus root slices, pork ribs stewed lotus root pieces, lotus root powder soup and so on!
The starch content of lotus root powder is also relatively sufficient, many patients who have just undergone surgery and cannot eat normally can choose lotus root powder when replenishing energy, and replenish energy relatively quickly!
The reservoir looks a little bare at present, so Lin Quan will feel a little weird no matter how you look at it, because the bare water surface of the reservoir is in stark contrast to the green trees on the shore, if he fishes here for a day, he barely feels acceptable, but after a long time, he can't stand it, mainly because of aesthetic fatigue!
And if you plant some lotus vegetables in it, not only will there be one more dish in the Chinese restaurant in the future, but the whole reservoir will become more beautiful, and the water quality will also be improved a lot!
Lin Quan thought of doing it, and immediately prepared to plan this matter, he first looked at the system mall and there are no lotus root seeds or seedlings for sale, fortunately, there is really this kind of thing in the system mall, and the price is not expensive, about 10 yuan per plant!
Lotus roots are produced very quickly, and they spread very quickly, as long as they can survive, it will take less than five years, and the entire reservoir can basically be full.
However, the water in the middle of the reservoir is relatively deep, almost more than ten meters deep, these positions of lotus roots can not survive, they are suitable for survival depth of about 0.1 meters to 1.5 meters, if the water is too deep, the leaves of the lotus root will lie on the water surface.
And this is really in line with Lin Quan's expectations, if the lotus root will occupy the entire pond, it is not good news for him, he has to spend time to clean up these things, otherwise the fish may be suffocated, plants can photosynthesize during the day to produce oxygen, but at night, plants also need to respire to consume oxygen, and the oxygen content in the water is not high, the number of plants is too much to consume oxygen, the fish will suffer, and the fish in the reservoir are estimated to die a lot, so when raising fish, the number of aquatic plants should be controlled, not out of control, if it gets out of control, there will be no fish.
After the lotus root is planted, it is estimated that it will be able to mature in the summer, the lotus root is actually very adaptable, Lin Quan has seen someone casually bury a lotus root belt in the mud and survive, so this kind of thing will be better to use ancient jade, and it will grow faster, but even if it doesn't need ancient jade to help it open, it is not too difficult for it to survive.
"Looks like it's time to hire a professional Chinese chef!"
Lin Quan's thinking is quite jumpy, thinking of lotus root, he thought of eating, but he himself will eat and will not do, if his female ticket is a Chinese, then it is better to say some, good will do some, but Denise is an English, Britain must not have eight major cuisines, so it must be no drama to count on her, and when Lin Quan came back before, he contacted an early master in China, and the master has not come over yet, because he wants to spend the Spring Festival at home, but now that the Spring Festival has passed, he should be leaving, so Lin Quan thought of one thing, and simply asked him to help Lin Quan find a skilled chef who knows Xiang cuisine (Lin Quan is used to eating Hunan cuisineThere will also be some chefs from other cuisines such as Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine!
Generally speaking, at this time, the salary level of domestic chefs is about 4000-6000, and the salary of the chef in charge may be higher, but it should not exceed 20000 yuan, and the average salary of Chinese workers in Africa is at least 1.5 times higher than that in China, and the conditions here are more difficult, so it is normal for the salary to be higher.
And Lin Quan is willing to provide this person with a monthly salary of 30,000, if he can bring a few apprentices over, Lin Quan is willing to give him the commission from his apprentice's income.
This is also a lot of income, many people with apprentices, in fact, there is a commission.
Moreover, the wages in Africa are high, and because the government's functions are relatively low, it is easier to evade taxes, so more of this money falls into pockets.
Lin Quan wants to open a Chinese restaurant here in the future, one person or two people are definitely not enough, it is better to say something about the master early, like the chef of the main meal If there are fewer people, the guests will wait for the food to starve, so a chef can bring a group of primary school apprentices over, Lin Quan is not a Michelin restaurant here, there are not such high requirements, the Chinese food made by the junior apprentices is also Chinese food, anyway, it is for foreigners to eat, as long as the salt and seasoning are not too much, I believe they can't eat the big difference!
