Chapter Eighty-Seven: Dr. Fishery
Morning.
Tang Hai combed his hair in the mirror.
His hairstyle is a mohican with shaved sides and an arrogant curl in the middle.
I'm going to check the quality of the carp today, and I'm going to see the professor or something, but this hairstyle doesn't work. Jade Tang Hai washed his hair, fixed it with mousse, and combed it into two or eight sides.
Then put on the shirt and suit leather boots that Malena had chosen before.
Tang Hai feels that he still has the style of those big entrepreneurs in the 'Shanghai Tang' TV series, and this dress is also very tasteful in this era.
……
It is not the first time that Tang Hai has been to the University of Washington, but he has been passing by TmD before, and he has not even visited the original Boeing factory.
The University of Washington's annual rowing competition is generally won by the Ocean Academy, and the reason is simple.
Ten people who like the sea, at least seven or eight have the ambition to conquer the sea, like Jordan, all kinds of mechanical all-rounders, even can drive airplanes, skateboarding is top-notch, and even Hadley's real operation is at the level of a normal person. These people are better at Jiang Hai than some other majors, and the reason why the trio asked for leave was to put it bluntly, they were ordered to come back to get the award.
Unfortunately, the competition was terminated due to carp flooding.
When Tang Hai saw the three of them, Jordan had a big band-aid on his cheeks, and the other two were fine.
"Also the ...... of the intercollegiate fighting champion"
Tang Hai's first sentence was not to say hello, but to mock first.
"Don't blame me! Two of them attacked me at the same time, one after the other, and both Hadley and Jennifer flashed......"
"You can't dodge the hemp rod and the woman, do you still have the face to say?"
"No, they flashed and I suddenly saw a fish!"
The three of them took Tang Hai to the small river of the rowing competition, saying that several of their teachers were there to check on the carp.
Rowing is the kind of long and narrow boat, generally two to ten people sit side by side on it, relying on arm strength and back force to paddle to make the rowing boat forward, the gameplay is similar to the dragon boat. The small river chosen by the University of Washington is of decent width and depth, with a slight twist in the river, which can also test the resilience of the contestants.
The overall rowing ability of the University of Washington is also very strong, and last year's Zhengzhou International Rowing Challenge was the championship of the University of Washington.
However, no one expected that the masters would all be put down by the carp......
Tang Hai didn't expect that the three of them would take themselves to meet their teacher, and they didn't expect that there would be reporters at the scene!
A bearded man in his seventies and eighties, with thinning hair but still in good spirits, was talking to a woman in her forties, surrounded by several 'long guns and short cannons', some reporters filming two people, some filming the river, and a few teachers wearing work badges and the like standing by the river and pointing.
The river was calm, but you could see a lot of fish down there.
Carp and silver carp are easily frightened fish, carp is a little stronger, can 'jump the dragon gate', a hundred pounds of big carp to throw people, no lighter than a ropeweight boxer, silver carp is a little worse, can only 'jump net', but can still hurt people.
"There weren't that many Asian carp here last year, and it's clear they've taken over Washington State! O'Guanhai's plan to spend a year blocking the dam at St. Anthony's Falls, used to stop carp from entering Washington state's main waterways, has apparently failed. These Asian carp are dense and low in fat, indicating that they did not get enough nutrients during the long winter before, so they did not come from the warm southern waters, but only from the cold of Colombia...... Excuse me. George, here you come! ”
The bearded old man was being interviewed by the media, talking eloquently, pointing to the plan proposed by Ao Guanhai before to empty the treasury, and it was useless.
Seeing the four people coming, he resolutely said goodbye, ignored those reporters, casually called one person next to him to replace him, and retired, his wrist was very big. But it also proves that this is a person who really does things.
……
"Don, this is my teacher, Dr. Wallace, he was already retired, but in recent years, the damage to the ocean has been serious, and the carp in the rivers have become more and more serious, and the school research institute has invited him back from recuperation."
"Teacher, this is the Tang we mentioned to you, he allowed us to carry out the 'marine planting' experiment and the 'mussel intensive farming' experiment in his fishing ground, and he is a very interesting person."
Jennifer introduced the two.
In introducing Dr. Wallace, she was clearly respectful.
Because she didn't mean to show off, Jennifer said it briefly. In fact, Dr. Wallace is at least one of the top 10 authorities in the world's oceans, including China's Qingdao Fishery Department, Zhoushan Fishery, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Fishery.
A smart man will be sharp when he is young, and he will become calm in middle age, and he will become very wise when he is old. Even if the old man in front of him didn't say anything, just this look of Engels, Tang Hai didn't dare to underestimate it! I wonder if he has any friends who look like Marx......
The old doctor is really wise and talkative, and asked the location of Tang Hai's hometown, and he actually knows Nuo Deng ham, and it is good for ordinary people to know Xuanwei ham! Tang Hai's salt massage is the salted massage method of Nuo Deng ham!
It seems that he is still an old foodie, so there is a common language!
The group walked all the way and sat down on a riverside lawn where there were no reporters in sight.
Tang Hai and Dr. Wallace are both people who like to go straight to the point, and they soon talked about the 'Asian carp'.
Carp is a very good thing, but it has many spines, and it tastes delicious if you can make it, and crucian carp, silver carp, etc. can also be used as a medicinal diet for dietary therapy.
Tang Hai's biggest concern for the 'Asian carp' community is pollution and heavy metals, so he voiced his concerns.
Jennifer took out her notebook and quickly recorded that she was a theoretical lunatic.
Wallace smiled: "Carp and Atlantic salmon, that is, salmon, not only grow in the same environment, but even their position in the river biological chain is the same, they eat the same recipe, why do Americans like to eat Atlantic salmon but not carp?" ”
The answer is that carp is covered with irregular fish bones, and knives and forks are completely unable to deal with it, while salmon can be eaten raw by cutting meat, and the American diet is to eat it in large pieces.
"Maybe it's because Atlantic salmon go into the sea, and after a few years of growth in the sea, they have metabolized the heavy metals."
That's right, Tang Hai is raising the bar, and it is easiest for people to exert all their knowledge when they are being lifted on the bar.
Wallace was really provoked by Tang Hai and frowned.
"The same is true for Asian carp and European carp in the same river, the European carp is lower in the river and should absorb more pollution and heavy metals, so why is the European carp such as the bronze snapper so popular?"
The answer is that carp has a strong earthy smell, which is very delicious to handle, but it will be difficult to eat if it is not handled well, and European carp such as bronze sea bream, just fry it casually, and Americans generally like it, which is exactly what they taste.
"Maybe the bronze snapper has a stronger ability to metabolize pollution?" Tang Hai continued to raise the bar.
"Hehe, look at that."
On the opposite side of the river, a big sign, circled and forked, painted with a crab.
"No, it won't! Is it forbidden to eat crabs in this river? ”
"No, it's forbidden to eat crab roe. Carp, herring, grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp all have a stronger metabolic capacity than loaches, but American loaches are delicious because they have fewer spines. The real poor metabolism is still shrimp and crabs, and the heavy metal locations are concentrated in the shell, internal organs and egg yolk. Because very few people eat shrimp paste, there is no need for warning, and there are too many people who eat crab roe, so you need to put up a sign to tell them. FDa's testing of aquatic products is very strict, and the news once warned that it is best not to eat crab roe in the United States. In some polluted waters, there will also be such signs nearby, warning which aquatic organisms may be contaminated. You wouldn't believe that all of America's rivers are pollution-free, but at least 90% of them are fairly safe. ”
Tang Hai has been cleaning up the river for a year, because the river he is responsible for is fine, so he has never seen this kind of warning sign! I didn't expect there to be such a thing!
Wait, Tang Hai remembered that he had seen the news warning that he was not allowed to eat river crab roe and crab roe......
"I've seen a reporter buy American carp, take pictures and post it on the Internet, and his stomach is full of mud and sand, so Dr. Wallace, how do you think you explain that?"
Wallace suddenly blew his beard and glared: "What creature can still live with a belly of mud and sand in its belly?" ”
"The answer is sandworms!"
“……”
“……”
“……”
“……”
……
This chapter can be regarded as a concentration of all aspects to refute the rumors of American carp!
The focus of this article is actually to raise fish and cook at a leisurely pace, and then do great things, giving everyone a fun time in their spare time! If someone suddenly discovers that they can handle food the way in the book, then I will be even happier! Of course, if you are particularly careful, you can find deeper things, such as Mexico's number one drug lord was really arrested and escaped from prison, the number two drug lord really died and was swallowed by his girlfriend, there was once a godfather-level drug lord named Gamboa, the United States will really set up a sign to say that it can't be eaten, FDa really issued a warning to Americans, especially Chinese Americans, not to eat crab roe anymore, the University of Washington really won the international rowing competition, and so on and so forth...... Then the author will be even happier! I spend so much time trying to check the information every day, in fact, I just want to get on the 'dry goods'!
