In fact, Li Sheng thought about manipulating the fish to run to the net pocket by himself, but after he tried it, he found that the energy field could not get a response from them at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and his control over water is much weaker than in space. Outside of space, he could only increase the flow rate of the water by more than a meter, which was too slow. If it is forcibly fixed in the water, then the fish may have died by the time it comes up, and the meat is usually bitter because the fish gall bladder is broken.

So he could only shoot with a bow and arrow, using the ancient method.

Ali also sat down at this time because the boat was moving, and interjected, "I think we can use ether or something." ”

Li Sheng was stunned, he really hadn't thought about using anesthetic drugs. But ether seems to be poisonous: "Prince, are you sure?"

Ali smiled and shook his head and said, "I just think that makes more sense." When we catch sturgeons, we want their eggs, and I don't think ether will affect them in a short period of time. And no matter how the fish is killed, it will eventually struggle, and the secretion of kidney hormones will be accelerated. That's what affects the quality of the roe. ”

Li Sheng thinks it makes sense. But he didn't prepare it, so he had to say, "I'll try it next time." ”

The boat was very fast under the propulsion of the motor, and soon caught up with the black-faced god who was swimming fast.

The black-faced god didn't make any changes because of the approaching ship, and still swung his powerful tail and moved forward at a constant speed. But when the boat crosses it, it dives into the water.

Li Sheng sensed that its speed could not keep up with the ship, so he asked the workers who drove the boat to reduce their speed a little.

The three of them were bored waiting on the boat, and Fernando said, "Lee, how old are the sturgeons you raised?" There are only a few species of sturgeon that are internationally recognized. The eggs of each sturgeon have a specified age to be recognized as caviar.

Li Sheng really didn't know how old those sturgeon were. He learned to judge in degrees. The fish was one of the largest in the lake of the space, there were no predators at all, and there were quite a few of them. Of course, this is also due to the fact that there are so many fish in the lake that they are not underfed.

But for the time being, he picks the biggest ones and releases them to raise.

He thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure, because I don't know how to identify fish." I only counted the scale rings of about a few fish, and the larger ones were about 100 years old, and the smaller ones should be more than 60 years old. ”

The sturgeon does not lay eggs every year, and he selects those that look at the obvious lack of eggs in their stomachs. These have been raised in the small lake of the farm for more than a year, and the eggs in the belly should be ripe by the future.

Of course, the sturgeon that was taken out were all females, and he didn't catch any males. He will not let most of the male sturgeon in it not find a wife, and there are only 1,000 or hundreds of them in these small lakes. This number is less than three-half-half of the number in the lake in the space.

In fact, Li Sheng said that it doesn't matter if the age of the sturgeon is not accurate, because international luxury consumers do not now accept that the eggs of this fish can be made into caviar. It doesn't matter how old you are.

Ali stretched out his hand and paddled in the water for a while, and said, "The quality of the water is very good." There is no industrial pollution, not even agricultural and domestic pollution. ”

For him, the highest grade caviar, as long as there is it, he can eat it. Li Sheng said that there were sturgeons that could produce caviar in Silent Farm, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, the water quality of this small lake is excellent, which still makes him look forward to it.

It is important to know that the Caspian Sea is the main production area of wild sturgeon, which is thought to be used to make caviar. The Caspian Sea is known for its excellent water quality, but there is a Volga River that runs through many of Russia's most important cities and agricultural regions, bringing all the wastewater from these cities and pesticide residues from their basins to the Caspian Sea. And there is a lot of oil exploitation around the Caspian Sea. Most crucially, it is an inland lake. After hundreds of years of pollution, some people have to say how good the water quality of the Caspian Sea is, and who believes it.

The small lakes of Silent Farm, on the other hand, do have no surface water infusion, but there is a stream-level outlet, which indicates that there is groundwater replenishment. The surrounding area is all pasture, and there are no factories. The only source of pollution is probably the air. As long as the water quality of such waters is not degraded due to geological and biological reasons, it is difficult to think about the water quality here.

Where the water quality is good, the quality of the fish is good, and this is an equation that basically holds up where it is placed. If, as Li Sheng said, those fish could grow to five meters long, the diameter of the eggs would be more than that of ordinary sturgeon eggs. As for the taste, you still need to try it to know.

Fernando also has a lot of expectations for this. He has tasted a lot of things from Silent Farm, which basically exceeded his expectations, and if the caviar is the same this time, then he will have an extra golden brick to open the European high-end food market. It's just freshwater farmed sturgeon, and whether the market can accept it is still a question.

He was about to say something, but saw Li Sheng stand up, and took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring: "There is a fish?"

Li Sheng stared at the surface of the water, nodded and said, "I feel that a big fish is coming up." ”

Before he could finish his sentence, a large fish bared its back on the surface of the water. Although the whole fish cannot be seen from a distance of tens of meters, the dorsal fin that is more than one meter long when it is exposed to the surface of the water knows that the fish is not small. Li Sheng looked at the brownish armor scales and knew that that was exactly what they were aiming for today.

The bow in his hand was full, and an arrow "swished" out, and the arrow was almost simultaneously submerged in the water. The fish also made a splash and sank into the water.

"Shot?" because it was so fast that Fernando didn't see if the arrow had hit the fish.

Li Sheng could sense that an arrow was stuck in the head of the fish, and it only struggled in the water for a few times before it stopped moving. The arrow was shot accurately, perhaps right in its small brain, killing it in one blow.

He nodded and said, "Shot." He turned back to the workers who were sailing the boat. "Let's drive slowly. ”

The boat had only gone more than twenty meters when a fish surfaced on the water. Sure enough, he was dead.

When the boat came to the edge of the sturgeon, Li Sheng asked Fernando and Ali to sit down. Leaning out of the boat, he grabbed the gills of the fish with both hands and dragged it onto the boat with all his might. However, the fish was so big that he only dragged half of the fish up, and most of it was still soaking in the water.

Fernando and Ali were also surprised to see such a big fish. Although the largest sturgeon can grow up to six meters, it is rare to catch such a large one. They hurriedly avoided it and let Li Sheng drag the whole fish onto the boat.

Ali finally saw how big the fish was. Two-thirds of the ships can hold it. The spindle-shaped body may be seventy or eighty centimeters wide, which makes the ship somewhat narrow.

Looking at the scales on its body, it was hard for him to imagine how old such an ancient living fossil must have grown to such a large size. Maybe it's not much younger than the three of them combined.

Fernando, of course, saw the fish in its entirety, and it gave him even more confidence: "Lee, I can't wait to taste its roe." ”

It didn't take much time to catch such a fish this time, and Li Sheng was also very satisfied. He smiled and let the ship's workers sail back. And called for help.

Back on the shore, several workers were already waiting on the shore. They carried the fish, which weighed at least 300 pounds, onto the pickup truck and piled some ice next to it.

Li Sheng drove back to the villa in the hilly area as fast as he could.

It's not that he doesn't want to deal with it directly in the wooden cottage villa in the plain area, but the conditions don't allow it.

Making caviar requires too many manual steps. It needs to be as clean as possible. There are no wooden houses, but yesterday he had already prepared the villa in the hilly area and disinfected the kitchen. Some containers are also prepared.

So they had to rush back to deal with the fish.

The process of making caviar, Li Sheng learned by watching the video. The most important of these is salt and time.

Because it is farmed in freshwater, he chooses 3.5% salt, and he is fast enough to complete all the steps in less than fifteen minutes. The roe taken out of this sturgeon was more than 50 catties, and the stainless steel box he bought back was almost full.

In the encapsulation step, he is a new hand, and he can only install more to make the inside completely compacted. And the squeeze is done by Fernando. The purpose of this step is to squeeze out excess grease and salt. After encapsulation, it also needs to be put under ultraviolet light to kill the virus, and then sealed.

Caviar is not meant to be used first. After finishing it, the three of them came to the living room, and Li Sheng made tea.

The three of them sat down, and Fernando put his hands under his nose and sniffed it, shook his head and said, "Although there are disposable gloves, the smell is still there." ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Maybe this taste will make you think the caviar is more delicious." ”

Fernando smiled and said, "I'm starting to look forward to it now." I've eaten a lot of caviar, but I never knew it was made this way. You're sure you're doing the right thing. Those roe look like they're of good quality, so don't waste them. ”

Ali certainly ate caviar. In fact, Iran produces caviar that is said to be the best in the world, and part of that is used to feed the rich Middle Easterners. He also said: "The roe should be more than 6 centimeters in diameter. And it's copper-colored. I've never seen it. ”

Six centimeters means six millimeters, while the eggs of a common sturgeon are usually about five millimeters in diameter. And the color has never appeared in the red-copper color. That's why he said that.

Li Sheng saw that their cups were empty, poured them another cup, and said, "This fish is already big. ”

"I think we need to find a professional technician to make the most authentic caviar. Only then can the quality of this fish roe be assessed. Fernando thought about it for a while, and felt that he still couldn't rest assured of Li Sheng's craftsmanship. I don't dare to make the result this time, and I can't use it as a basis for evaluation.

Li Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Of course, if you help find one." "He has this self-knowledge.

Fernando snapped his fingers and said, "The bag is for me." "Caviar can only be taken fresh and made within the specified time. Therefore, the people he is looking for can only come to the Silent Farm to operate. Of course, if he really wants to do this business in the future, he can build a small factory near the farm. Silent Farm can deliver sturgeon in a short time.

However, they all know that this matter can end here for the time being, and there is no point in going on.

"You say, how about we work together to set up an export company that mainly deals in the export of Silent Farm products?" Ali, who had been listening to them quietly, suddenly said.
