Chapter 12 Fish fry to control the river

Tang Hai realized his situation, the river was actually him, he was the river, and he had to manage that river well, so that he could have more powerful power.

How to manage the river, his original job was to clean the river, but he also knows a thing or two.

For the earth itself, human beings are actually unable to disrupt its operation, even if a 100-million-ton atomic bomb is detonated in the core of the earth, causing a chain reaction that causes all kinds of big explosions on the earth, the gravitational pull of the earth itself can reunite into the earth. As for desertification and heavy pollution, in fact, it only has an impact on carbon-based organisms.

Governing rivers is actually transforming rivers into suitable for carbon-based organisms, which of course refers not only to humans, but to a wider range of animals and plants.

For example, a domestic project has reduced the living range of the underwater panda 'Chinese sturgeon' from 570 kilometers to 7 kilometers, resulting in the imminent extinction of the Chinese sturgeon, and the white-sided dolphin has become extinct a few years ago.

Tang Hai's home is in a small mountain village in the southwest, and he remembers that when he was a child, there were rivers and lakes everywhere, and the air was also very humid, but when he grew up, there was a drought every year, and the southeast region seemed to flood every year? Tang Hai is not a water conservancy major, and he heard that this situation has nothing to do with the project, but judging by his own life for more than ten years and thousands of days of observation, he does not believe the words of those experts very much.

As for the project before the start of the project, it was said that there would be no shortage of water and electricity for one or two cents......

Anyway, before Tang Hai went abroad, the water was cut off when there was nothing at home, and a few tiles on the roof of the rural house were deliberately made of glass, which was for the sake of light, because the electricity bill was more expensive.

After coming to the United States, Tang Hai's most intuitive feeling was that China's population was too large, and in order to use 7 percent of the world's land to feed 20 percent of the population, he had to ask for it from nature. Moreover, China's land is not good, with the fourth largest arable land area in the world and the eighth largest forest land in the world.

I heard that the utilization rate of land, rivers and forests in Africa is extremely low, and a large number of Chinese people used to help develop some resources?

But this kind of thing, what do you care about doing as a small person.

Tang Hai turned over and got up.

Before the sun came out, he was about to get up and make soup.

He's going to Seattle's Chinatown today to buy something, so the soup for the evening needs to be boiled now, and when he comes back, he can stop by and buy some skewers and other stalls in Chinatown.

The spring night is still relatively long, Tang Hai got up at half past six, took a shower, ran and run, and it took about ten o'clock to make the soup, and the sky was already very bright.

He drove his broken three to Seattle.

Along the way, he is not alone, there are quite a lot of tricycles in small and medium-sized towns in the United States! And most of them are three-wheeled with passengers! Of course, most of these don't have the relevant documents......

It's strange here, the subway and buses can go on strike because they are not satisfied with their pay, and even the New York transportation system has been paralyzed, and then the rickshaws have started to pop up.

Seattle has a lot of things to do, concert bars and more, and there are a lot of wineries here.

However, Tang Hai, a person who barely solves the problem of food and clothing, expects him to know what those places are like, but that is not realistic, he doesn't even know where those places are.

Seattle's 'Happy Fish Market' is a scenic spot and a market, and there is a famous 'flying fish', which is the shopkeeper who grabs the fish and throws it from the air to the other to weigh after the customer has chosen......

It's a pity that there are no river fish in the Happy Fish Market.

Every time he came to Seattle, he would go straight to Chinatown to buy things, and many daily necessities and dishes exclusive to Chinese people could only be bought here.

A large gate to enter is Chinatown, which is called 'Fang' in Tang Hai's hometown.

Chinatown is not only a gathering place for Chinese, strictly speaking, it has become a gathering place for Asians and Africans, Asians are very easy to understand, everyone is yellow-skinned, and it is easy to talk together. As for Africans, at least the Chinese rarely discriminate against Africans, and they also like to stay here. Because there are too many people from other countries in Seattle's Chinatown, the political axe does not recognize the name 'Chinatown' here, and the street sign says 'International Zone'.

Tang Hai's goal this time is to buy fish that can clean up floating debris.

The four major Chinese carp are herring, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp.

Bighead carp is the 'big-headed fish' in Chinese cooking, in fact, it is also silver carp, but it is called silver carp, and the general silver carp refers to silver carp.

Because these four kinds of fish live in different water layers and eat different foods, the fish ponds are often polycultured, so they slowly become the four major fish.

Herring eats things like shrimp and screws, which does not help to control the river.

Grass carp eats grass, and it is not the target of Tang Hai.

The big-headed fish eat what is in the mud, and it has no effect.

Tang Hai's target is silver carp, and with silver carp present, the floating debris in the lower part of the river can be solved. And silver carp is a good thing, Sichuan cuisine to make sauerkraut fish, spicy fish pieces, garlic fish pieces, etc., silver carp can be used, the taste is very delicious. The meat of silver carp is warm and has a tonic effect on some weak people.

It's a pity that Americans don't eat such a good thing, saying that this thing lives in a mud pile and contains heavy metals......

Tang Hai wants to say that silver carp is actually pelagic fish! These scum in the United States who think that carps are the same thing!

Fortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Seattle, and these people don't spoil good things.

It seems illegal to release silver carp? In fact, as long as there are black fish, you can restrain the flood of silver carp. But the egg hurts because the blackfish is such a delicious thing, and the Americans will not eat it either, and once issued an orange alert because of the blackfish, saying that this fish is powerful, ferocious, can survive on the shore for three days, and will attack children......

The fish selling places are temporary places, and they are decorated with a Chinese flavor.

As soon as Tang Hai entered, he found that these people were really ruthless!

Carp are sold by size, from $0.8 a pound for a small one to $2 for a large one, and sauerkraut fish bags are also sold next to it. There's even Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, but it's expensive.

Tang Hai looked at it casually, and there were also shrimp sellers.

There are pincers and are river shrimp.

River shrimp and sea shrimp are actually not the same family, river shrimp have tongs, and sea shrimp basically have no tongs, probably so differentiated.

Tang Hai thought about it, squatted down and took a look at the river shrimp, some of the shrimp were very large, and the head part was yellow-black. It's not just offal and the like, but also shrimp eggs.

Shrimp roe is also called shrimp roe, and most people only know crab roe, but in fact, shrimp roe is also a very delicious thing, and it can even be used to make 'shrimp paste'.

However, Tang Hai generally does not use river shrimp to make shrimp paste, and the head of river shrimp is something that really has a lot of heavy metals.

asked about the price, it was also very expensive, Tang Hai was uncomfortable at the moment, why did everyone slaughter the villagers?

"Brother, it's not to kill you, it's to be at this price now. Last year, China bought river fish from the United States, which drove up the price, and now we are also expensive to buy. The boss looks a bit like a bald head, and it is estimated that Tang Hai is not the first person to be dissatisfied, he saw that Tang Hai frowned when he heard the price, so he first said the reason for the price.

At $3.79 a pound, Tang Hai thought he was watching cod!

However, shrimp is an important part of the river biological chain, and when Tang Hai fished for shrimp, he felt that the number in the river was a little small, so buy it.

Slowly pick large, healthy river prawns with shrimp yellow on them.

The boss saw that he was so picky, so he said, "Brother, are you going to make shrimp paste?" ”

"Well, I like to eat."

"In terms of shrimp paste, the water quality of this river is better than ours, but there are also heavy metals, so you'd better keep these shrimp at home for a day before eating."

"Thank you, brother." Tang Hai was originally very dissatisfied with the bald head, but after just a while, he changed his opinion of the bald head.

In the end, Tang Hai bought 5 pounds, grandma's, and had to buy a small bucket next to it to carry it. Many people looked at him in amazement, it is really rare for people to fight so hard to eat fresh shrimp.

Then Tang Hai went straight to the silver carp area.

What he wants to buy is a silver carp with fish eggs, preferably one that will be born.

You can't buy fish fry directly, and it's easy to attract attention, but it's different to buy fish eggs, and he can say that he wants to eat fish roe.

The roe of silver carp is pale yellow or pale cyan, if it is gray or black, then it cannot be eaten, and the fish must be contaminated.

In China, wild fish is not necessarily good, and the water used for fish farming in ponds has quality inspection standards, but wild polluted rivers cannot be controlled.

There is also pollution in the United States, but the polluted areas will be controlled, and the surviving fish will not flow to the market.

However, Tang Hai still has to check carefully.

Most of the meat quality is clear, but they are all fished with nets, and the fins are injured, and Tang Hai and his family have seen more than ten of them, but there is no agreement.

Finally, he saw a few fish in plastic tanks, all of which were more than ten pounds like this, very healthy, and still swimming!

Look up and see who is selling, it's actually blonde......

When Americans came to Chinatown to sell silver carp, Tang Hai couldn't turn his mind around.

"Friend, where do you get these fish? Tang Hai asked. ”

This is an American guy in his twenties, half a head taller than Tang Hai, his hands and feet are thin, and there is no muscle on his body, which is really rare among white people.

Listening to Tang Hai's questioning, he tilted his neck a little, his movements looked quite mentally retarded, and replied: "This is, this is, I raised it myself." ”

Tang Hai decided to want him, mentally retarded fish farming, how to encourage him.

"I'm a student at the University of Washington's School of Fisheries, studying the marine fish ecosystem, and I'm also a little involved in freshwater fish, which is the fish that our school sells, and I'm usually feeding them."

Tang Hai suddenly felt congested, this product is actually a student of a prestigious university in the United States, is he mentally retarded? Damn it!
