568.Fish, shrimp and crab together (4/5)
Bo Dad asked him what he was talking about, Wang Bo translated it for him, and then the old man was surprised: "Then this is a century-old shop?" ”
Wang Bodao: "It may have a history of 150 years, before this hotel appeared in the town, it was originally for some fishermen who fished in the lake, but then the population gathered and the town was built. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Daddy Bo showed a thoughtful expression and said, "It's the same as our hometown village." ”
Wang Bo ordered a set meal for two, although it is a very historical restaurant, but there are not many kinds of dishes, after all, there are so many customers, and there are so many raw materials.
The set menu consists of a variety of fish, fried fish, fried fish, smoked fish, grilled fish, and fish soup, accompanied by brown bread, a kind of food that tastes very bad when eaten dry, and it is also a very cheap food, and almost no one eats it nowadays.
Bo Dad took a bite of bread and frowned, "This thing is old and hard, but it really doesn't taste good." ”
Wang Bo smiled and tore him open into a soup bowl, and waited until it was soaked in fish soup before saying, "Come, taste, this bread is eaten like this." ”
He told Bo Dad that black bread was the first choice of fishermen around the lake because most of the people who came to fish had no money and no good boats, otherwise they would have gone to the sea to venture out into the sea.
Rusks are hard to eat, but when they are mixed with fish broth, they taste better and have a soft texture, which fishermen call 'malt bread with a fish-flavored flavor'.
After listening to his introduction, Bo Dad said with a smile: "This thing is a bit like the black flour steamed buns in our country, you don't eat it, your mother and I will be able to eat black flour steamed buns when we are young, it is a good life, it is not delicious, but if there is a bowl of broth soaked in steamed buns, oops, it is really delicious." ”
In the midst of sighing, the old man ate another bite of black bread, and then he may have an appetite for bitterness and sweetness, picked up the soup bowl and ate it violently, and ate two large pieces of black bread and drank a large bowl of milk and fish soup.
Wang Bo was indifferent to black bread, and ate some fried fish, the fried fish here is a platter, all kinds of fish, and he eats the best taste of tilapia, the fish is very soft and has umami.
The consumption in the small place is low, and the two-person package is only thirty-eight yuan in total, Wang Bo has to pay, and Bo Dad waved his hand very domineeringly: "No, I'll come!" I've been making a lot of money selling vegetables lately, and this meal is your father's! ”
Wang Bo: "My father is so domineering!" ”
After the meal, the two went to the local wholesale fishing gear market, where freshwater fish farming has not been taken seriously in New Zealand, and the town not only makes money by selling fish and shrimp from Lake Avimore, but also sells some fishing nets and fishing gear.
Driving into the fishing gear wholesale market, Bo Dad said strangely: "Son, why aren't there many people in this town?" Didn't you say this is New Zealand's largest freshwater catch trading centre? ”
Wang Bo explained the reason, and Bo Dad asked worriedly: "Then you are still engaged in freshwater aquaculture?" There's not much money to be made, so what are you doing with it? ”
"We have no problem, I don't raise these fish to catch them and sell them, but to use them to fish for the big guys, you see our lakes are so clear, if there are more fish to catch, more people will come to our town to play."
All the shopping malls in the town, except for supermarkets and convenience stores, are related to the sale of fishing gear, and even supermarkets sell fishing rods, bait, and other fishing tackle, so it is absolutely not wrong to say that this is a fishing city.
In the centre of the town is a New Zealand Museum of Freshwater Biology, a joint venture between the New Zealand Government and the University of Auckland, which houses a boat that is the first small boat in history to be launched in New Zealand specifically for freshwater fishing.
Bo Da said that this boat is a bit like a Chinese dragon boat, Wang Bo looked at the introduction, this is a kind of Maori lake fishing boat, the shape design is indeed a bit similar to the dragon boat.
After a brief visit, Wang Bo was familiar with the general situation of the town, so he went to a street where fishing gear was sold, and found the largest fishing tackle market and walked in.
"What do you need, sir, fishing rod? Fishing tackle? Bait? A middle-aged man in high spirits walked over and asked, he had a strong smell of water, which Wang Bo had often smelled on his parents before.
The middle-aged man obviously regarded him as a tourist who came to fish, Wang Bo and his father were indeed dressed more casually, and the yellow race usually came to this kind of town for tourism.
The middle-aged man was very talkative, and without waiting for Wang Bo to speak, he continued to talk eloquently: "What fish do you want to catch?" Bream? Tilapia? Rainbow trout, brown trout or great white striped fish? Trust me buddy, I've got everything you need, and even if you're going to hunt great white sharks in the Pacific Ocean, you'll be able to buy the best harpoons from me! ”
Wang Bo shrugged and said: "But I am a member of the Shark Conservation Society, and my purpose here is to buy some fishing gear, if the price is right, then I need two thousand meters of double-layer fishing nets, fifty F-sized shrimp pots, fifty crab pots of the same model, and if there are other suitable ones, then I can also pick them." ”
Listening to his words, the middle-aged man became more energetic, he looked at him and said, "Are you kidding me?" Do you know what the total price of these things is? ”
Wang Bo said: "I don't know, but I'm not kidding, so I need you to give me a reasonable price." ”
Double-layered nets can be used to enclose fish grounds and keep fish inside to prevent them from escaping, and the two-kilometre-long nets can enclose about 50 hectares of fishing grounds and feed more than a million fish fry.
The size F shrimp pot and crab pot are about 15 cubic meters, one shrimp pot can breed 100 South American white shrimp and 25 crayfish, and one crab pot can breed about 20 freshwater crabs.
Wang Bo checked the price in advance, and the double-layer fishing net is about 10 to 15 New Zealand dollars per meter, and the shrimp pot with the size F is between 200 and 300 New Zealand dollars, and the crab pot is a little more expensive.
For a fishing tackle shop in the town, this is a big business, at least compared to buying a rod or a few hooks.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man swallowed his saliva, he stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Raymond, man, if you are serious, then you have to go to my office and wait, come on, let my wife make you a cup of black tea, you should drink black tea this season, right?" ”
Someone walked in and shouted, "Raymond, pick me a bucket, damn it, my bucket didn't float up after falling into the lake." ”
The middle-aged man said without looking back: "Sheldon, don't bother me with this kind of work?" I'm the boss, I'm going to take care of big business, and your kind of work is not suitable for me. ”
The person who came to the back gestured with his middle finger, Raymond smiled and pushed open the office door, let Wang Bo and Bo Daddy sit in, and he turned the computer screen to show them the quote. (To be continued.) )
