Chapter 14: Indian Ocean, Salmon
After discovering the door to enter the cave, Tang Yi couldn't sit still, and quickly ran to the utility room on the ground floor on the first floor, trying to find out if there were any stairs, but unfortunately, there were only some rotten pots and pans and a broken sand motorcycle in the basement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The rest is nothing.
There were no stairs, Tang Yi found a woolen rope with the thickness of an arm, but unfortunately he didn't have a grappling hook, and he couldn't go up, Tang Yi hadn't learned to climb, in fact, there was no way to grab a hook.
After wandering around the first floor for a long time, Tang Yi put his eyes out the window, on the kennel of Lance's Labrador, the kennel was placed in the open space outside the small building, and the Labrador was lying lazily at the door, listless.
Tang Yi visually measured the height of the kennel, at least more than two meters, if he got it up and moved a chair over, he might be able to get in.
This small building has three floors, plus the roof, a total of more than ten meters high, and a further three meters high...... , it's still not enough!
The place was at least twenty meters, which is still a conservative estimate, it must be as high as seven or eight stories, so there is no trace of it standing on the ground, and the door is not locked.
"Forget it, I can't run away anyway, no one has found out for so many years, let Thomas make a staircase tomorrow!"
After taking a can of frozen dark beer from the refrigerator, Tang Yi returned to the room leisurely.
Secretly calculated, if you have money, you must build the island first, eggs are limited after all, only hens, can keep laying eggs until they get old!
Tang Yi believes that with the help of fireflies, it is difficult for the island to grow old......
The next day, the golden sunlight sprinkled into the house through the wooden window, like a little broken gold, and at nine o'clock in the morning, Tang Yi, who was covered in the quilt, couldn't stand it anymore and woke up.
The nights in Tasmania are still very cold, because further south, it is Antarctica. During the day, the sun is very mild, but at night, when the sun is gone, a cold snap will invade the whole of southern Australia.
As the southernmost island in the whole of Australia, Tangyi's paradise island is naturally not immune.
It was so cold at night that Tang Yi took an extra futon from the cabinet and came out, and he couldn't stand it in the morning.
After a simple wash, Master Tang was about to go downstairs, Thomas had already run up, and when he saw Tang Yi, he turned around and walked down: "Boss, breakfast has begun, Uncle Lance's craftsmanship is really speechless!" ”
"Leave some for Lao Tzu,!"
Tang Yi was furious, and hurriedly chased after him, Walker and Thomas, the two bastards, are not the three big and unthick, but they are powerful thieves, like rice buckets.
Ryce definitely won't prepare a lot for breakfast, don't wait for it to pass and be gone.
Uncle Lance's craft, he learned it last night.
Don't look at Lance has been staying on the island for more than ten years, but he is proficient in everything, not only serving as the big housekeeper of Paradise Island, but also cleaning and cooking by himself, and his skills are not bad!
Tang Yi felt more and more that it was too worthwhile for him to leave Lance for eight thousand months.
Breakfast consists of a glass of milk and a sandwich for one person, plus an egg and two Australian sausages.
Eating breakfast and drinking the boxed milk he bought from Port Arthur, Tang Yi was so depressed that he was the owner of the island, right? In the past, there was a large grassland in this place, but now there is not even a single grass, let alone cattle.
Looking at the trend of the ground drying and cracking, I am afraid that I can't even find an earthworm.
The dignified island owner still wants to drink this kind of boxed milk, hey, it's evil!
"Boss, it's the middle of July, and at this time of year, some salmon in the sea will swim back to the Goddess Lake, should we catch some today?" It's only a few days a year, and there are no fish to catch in the Goddess Lake"!
Eating breakfast, Lance suddenly proposed.
"Salmon?"
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he was at home, and in the animal world that his father liked to watch very much, there was an introduction to salmon, and the content was not too clear, but he knew that that thing seemed to be only available in the Pacific Ocean, right?
Moreover, the roe of this fish is very expensive, and it is available on some domestic dining tables, and the price is very expensive, and ordinary people dare not touch this thing at all.
The big bears that live in the glacial and snowy areas like to stay in the freshwater rivers where the icebergs melt to catch salmon that swim back to spawn.
At that time, Tang Yi was still thinking about how good it would be if there were so many big fish swimming back in the small river ditch in his village.
I didn't think about it...... Lance went so far as to say that there are salmon swimming back in Goddess Lake.
Immediately, he told him his doubts.
The Goddess Lake is the ring lake around the island in the middle of the lake where they are located!
Lance shook his head again and again and said with a smile: "Head, the Pacific maha you are talking about is indeed only available in the Pacific Ocean, and I am talking about the Indian Ocean salmon, which is shorter and thicker than the Pacific salmon, with fat meat and thick fat, and the roe is also a grade higher!"
The reason why it rarely appears in people's eyes is because the continent they travel to is not Australia, but the Antarctic glacier and snowy region, the inland lake of Tasmania, which is also the place they frequent. ”
"Well, Uncle Lance is right, Chief, I know a little bit about that!"
Thomas also said: "When I used to go out to sea with those fishing boats, especially in July, I hardly caught salmon because they went back to Antarctica, and they all died in Antarctica. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, after breakfast, go catch fish!"
Tang Yi was excited, catching fish was an activity he loved since he was a child, when he was a child in the countryside, with a small artillery regiment. Even in the middle of summer, the scorching sun could not stop him, and when it was the hottest at two o'clock, he had to go to the ditch to catch fish.
I didn't catch much every time, but I was happy.
Many of the older generation also called him 'Loach Cat'.
Since high school, he has rarely participated in these activities anymore, firstly because of the pressure of studying, and secondly, the most fundamental reason, there is no land!
Now that there is an opportunity in front of us, I will not let it go easily.
But after thinking about it, Tang Yi felt that something was wrong again, and asked, "Uncle Lance, you said that since the salmon is going to swim back to the Goddess Lake, why are there no fish in the lake?" Will all those seedlings go to the sea? ”
"Almost!"
Lance nodded: "Salmon will only return to the freshwater lake during the mating and spawning season, and when the small fish have the ability to hunt on their own, they will return to the ocean, otherwise they will die!" Moreover, there are no water plants in the Goddess Lake at all, and they can only starve to death if they stay here! ”
"Maybe it's because of this, those salmon that swim back will have enough fat reserves!"
After Tang Yi heard this, he was stunned, these salmon were just to return to the Goddess Lake, and they knew that the Goddess Lake had nothing to eat, so they fattened themselves so that they wouldn't starve to death halfway?
He didn't know what to say, it seemed that he had to speed up the absorption of the green energy in the lightning strike wood, and he had to hurry up to sow grass and make Paradise Island a new paradise, which was urgent!
Aquatic grass seeds must also be put into the goddess lake, otherwise wouldn't such a large lake be wasted?
The ocean has to sow seaweed, otherwise the marine life will not come, and you will not be able to cultivate seaweed.
Waste is shameful and must be stopped immediately!
Tang Yi thought secretly, and after eating breakfast, several people followed Lance to carry the fishing tools onto the kayak, then crossed the Goddess Lake, and put the things in the body of the pickup truck.
The pickup truck already had a plastic box in its body, as well as a few steel forks and sharp knives, and in addition to that, two triangulation nets.
This kind of net pocket Tang Yi used to be not uncommon in China, a person can net fish, directly put the triangular net in the rapids, and then let people drive it upstream, the fish will drill into the triangular net, he used to borrow it from others to play for a few days.
It's a pity that I didn't catch any big guys, all of them were white fish, flower fish and some wild crucian carp the size of two fingers.
Cigar is Lance's pet dog, naturally it will not stay at home, it used to sit in the co-pilot's seat, after Tang Yi came, it could only go to the back of the car to stay, very dissatisfied.
When he got into the car, he yelled at Tang Yi for a long time, and Lance even coaxed him into taking a roast sausage and gave it a sausage, and then the cigar obediently got into the car behind the pickup truck.
Starting from Lake Goddess, there is a stream more than two meters wide that flows into the Indian Ocean, the Tasman Sea to be precise.
Every year in mid-July, Fat Maha will swim from the cold sea of the Indian Ocean to their birthplace, back to spawn, the process is quite long, they have to start swimming back from the cold sea in early July, back to the Goddess Lake, it is just the middle of July, and then the next few days to mate and spawn, and then die silently, ending this life.
What Tang Yi and his entourage had to do was to catch some fat salmon with relatively large sizes, store some fish meat and roe, and use them for their own consumption. Because the villa is solar-powered, the electricity can only be used to provide daily lighting and watch DVDs, and it is impossible to drag high-powered refrigerators and freezers, so the freezer has been used here!
Every other month, Lance would go to Port Arthur to buy some freezers and store them in the freezers.
The first time he heard Lance mention the ice warehouse, Tang Yi's jaw dropped in shock, he didn't expect that there was an ice storage in this place that only existed in the domestic court before!
In ancient China, the imperial palace of each dynasty actually had ice stock, in winter, the emperor would send people to dig up the cold ice, and then store it in the freezer, and then take it out in the summer to make iced watermelon, iced tea, etc.
It's just that at that time, only the royal family dared to save the ice, and if the people stored it privately, it would cause a catastrophe.
This also corresponds to the saying that only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
The underground ice storage of the island in the middle of the lake is not large, the wall is sealed with iron sheets, and then cotton and foam are added, and then sealed by iron sheets, forming an iron box insulation freezer.
After all, there is nothing that needs to be put in at all, vegetables will turn into ice cubes when they are put in, and there is not much meat, and a small power freezer is enough.
