Chapter 287: Fish Damage

Watching Taylor drive the boat on the river at maximum speed for almost ten minutes, then stopped, drove the boat back to the horse's head and tied the cable to the dock, Thornton opened the car door, and the three of them took out a few chairs from behind the pickup truck, sat directly on the river, and began to eat lunch.

Ju An bit the beef burger in his hand and asked Taylor, "Why is this fish so flooded to this point, and the political axe can't be cured."

Taylor took a bite of the hamburger interface and said: "The political axe has long wanted to deal with it, but there has been no good way, I have tried poisoning, pulling the power grid and a series of methods are not very effective, this Thornton knows a little more His ex-wife used to do fish conservation work, so Thornton said."

"Last year, Obama invested more than $50 million to control Asian carp, the old method was poisoning, who knew that Asian carp seemed to be poisonous, poisoned thousands of fish, and finally found how many Asian carp, all native fish, there was a political axe intensive poisoning in the Illinois River, tens of thousands of fish died, and finally a half-sized Asian carp was found from these corpses, and now the political axe has to do a fish value assessment every time it is ready to poison the river, In this way, it takes a lot of human and material resources."

Ju An was stunned when he heard this, good guy, this silver carp is so fierce, and he is not afraid of poisoning, and then think about the comparison between the domestic water quality and the water quality of the United States, who asked you Lao Mei to protect the river so well, go to other people's places to open chemical plants, if you get a few highly polluting enterprises in the local area to ensure that this kind of big-headed silver carp is also hanged, the key is to blame the United States for the political axe to do something environmental protection and the like, you can see that something has happened.

Ju An thought for a moment and asked, "Then how did this fish get to the United States from Asia in the first place?" It won't be the Chinese who brought it from China, if this is the case, the domestic political axe should move him a trophy or something, it will not be easy to make the whole United States have a headache.

After taking a sip of beer, Thornton continued: "This is not brought in by anyone, in the past, there was too much plankton in the rivers in China, and the political axe wanted to introduce plankton-based fish species to control the plankton in the rivers and lakes, so the Asian carp was selected and the fish were introduced from China to the United States."

Ju An listened, good guy, this is your own political axe to get in, then this is ugly can't blame the political axe, you have your own political axe to make things, the old American political axe thought that the introduction of a fish that can control microorganisms, who knows that in the end they found out that they were introducing a scourge, but it is very in line with the old American style of doing things, good things can often make them mess up, this ability is the first in the world, there is no second, you look at the original support for Saddam, and finally Lao Sa followed him, originally supported bin Laden, This guy eventually became a terrorist, and he even ended up getting a mess of bringing in some fish, and others really can't learn this skill.

"At the beginning, the plankton control was very good, but after the fish population slowly expanded, the trouble came, these Asian carp are very capable of spawning, an Asian carp with a female surname is estimated to produce millions of fish eggs, and it didn't take long for most of the whole river to be this kind of fish, and an Asian carp is said to be able to eat half of its own body of food in a day, the native fish can't compete with this Asian carp, and the survival of many fish is threatened, and then the political axe began to find a way to control these fish, Now the Asian carp continues to encroach on new rivers, and by the way, why is the Asian carp nothing to do in your China, but it is a big trouble in the United States."

Ju An smiled and said: "In fact, the Asian carp you said has several names in China, the big head is the most called silver carp, some are called carp, and what is the scientific name of a fathead fish I don't know, anyway, Chinese like to eat these fish, many ways, what braised ah, charcoal grilled, chopped pepper fish head ah all kinds of ways to eat, now these fish in China are basically artificially farmed, wild these fish are basically not seen in the vegetable field." Ju'an didn't know how to say it in English, so he made a comparison with the Chinese pronunciation.

Thornton shrugged his shoulders and said, "These fish have too many spines, they are too troublesome to eat, and they don't taste very good, so we don't like to eat this kind of fish."

Ju An was stunned by what Thornton said, this guy can't blame the fish, you don't blame anyone, if you encounter so many fish in the country, it is estimated that it will not take two years for you to eat. But it's no wonder that Lao Mei's food is either boiled or grilled, and she can't play any big tricks, and she doesn't have any creative ideas, and it really doesn't taste energetic: "If you don't eat it, just limit these fish to a fixed river, how can you make almost all the United States."

"The axe also thought about using nets to control these fish in fixed waters, but you can see this kind of fish, they can jump and jump quite high, a net or two meters high is nothing to them, and these fish are quite smart to dodge fishing nets, and it turns out that in order to control these fish, you have to set up nets far away from the surface of the river, and if you can't stop these fish at all, these Asian carp are now more and more threatening the waters of the Great Lakes," Thornton said.

This Ju An knows that the Great Lakes of the United States are the water that supplies tens of millions of people in the United States, no wonder the old American political axe is so nervous, but then again, Ju An just doesn't understand how the fish in this river can threaten the Great Lakes, when Ju An was in China, the tap water he drank every day was from the Yangtze River, and he didn't see what happened to him, and Lao Mei was too pampered. As the old saying goes, the carp jumped out of the dragon gate, and when the carp arrived at Lao Mei, it brought the ability of the ancestors to the extreme, and made the political axe of a superpower anxious, and it was indeed a cow, no! Cattle fish.

Thornton asked Ju An: "There is another kind of Asian fish that is more powerful, do you know the snakehead fish, China is also one of the origins."

"What snakehead? How come I've never heard of it," Ju An asked, stunned.

Taylor explained at this time: "It has teeth in its mouth, it is very fierce and lives by eating other fish, and it has black and gray markings on its body, which is said to be very common in China."

Ju An thought for a moment and said, "You're talking about the black fish." It seems that the ferocious fish common in China has never seen anything else except for the black fish Ju'an, and this guy is expensive in China.

Thornton listened and nodded: "Well, it's this fish, the waters where he lives are basically gone, and the political axe thinks that this fish has also changed the fishing order, as long as it catches this kind of fish, it will be killed regardless of size."

This black fish is very fierce, Ju'an knew it when he was in China, because there is a relative at home who raises fish, as long as there is a black fish in the pond, then the pond will be unlucky, and you can't raise any fish, unless you catch him. Juan shrugged his shoulders and said to Thornton and Taylor: "I have a good way to directly catch these fish and canned them and sell them to Asia, and solve the problem of fish, and increase the income is good."

Taylor smiled and asked, "How much can these Asian carp sell for a pound in China?" ”。

"It is estimated that it is about five yuan, which is converted into a little more than fifty cents of dollars, which is about the same price, and the black fish is a lot more expensive, the price of ten or twenty yuan a pound" Ju An said to Taylor after a silent calculation in his heart.

After hearing this, Taylor said: "The fisherman catches it in the river and sends it to the processing plant, and the wages of the workers in the factory are so that even in Asia, it is estimated that the price is not affordable, the cost is too high."

After hearing this, Ju An nodded and said, "That's what I said." This can't be blamed buddy, you don't eat it yourself, the labor cost is high, this guy still wants to kill the fish there so easily, what's the use of just complaining about the fish, why don't you reflect on yourself, the fish in China will become a scourge when they come to you.

Thinking about it, another thought came to my heart: if you don't let the domestic political axe talk to the American political axe about building a few more small towns near these rivers, just immigrate one or two million people from China to come over, no matter what name you call the fish, fried and boiled braised directly for you to gnaw it up, it is estimated that it will not take a few years to control the fish damage, if it really doesn't work, it is okay to get one or two million people to come and live temporarily, and don't give a green card, just learn from China to get a temporary residence permit, and after eating, it's a big deal to spend money to send one or two million people back soon. I don't know how many years it will take to allocate more than 50 million yuan this year, or let the American political axe get round-trip air tickets for domestic fish lovers, invite everyone to come to the United States to eat fish for free, and send them back when they are full.

This so-called fish pest is still the United States, not many people eat these fish, it really can't be done, the United States is afraid of this, afraid of that, you can invite some domestic foodies to come over to train Americans, don't choose the location, just open a new course in what Confucius Institute, how to eat fish. Let the people of the United States fall in love with this fish-eating sport, it is estimated that this fish hazard will be gone, and then the American political axe will be happy, the American people will also learn how to eat fish, China will also solve the problem of reemployment, and the people of China and the United States will be happy.

Two bottles of beer and a hamburger went down, followed Thornton and Taylor to talk about the problem of fish damage in the United States, and the three of them returned to the boat, this time it was Thornton who drove the boat, and Ju An took out the camera in his bag to take pictures of the fish jumping around and the scenery on both sides of the river, saying that the scenery was actually woods, tall weeds, and hazy snow-covered mountains in the distance.

Thornton drove the boat around for a while, then taught Ju'an to drive, Ju'an did the driving position, learned how to start, three times five divided by two to drive, there is a steering wheel, and don't paddle particularly easy, enthusiastically drove the boat to let Thornton give himself a few photos, the boat shot fish and so on came a lot, waiting for the night to go back to their own space, let the students open their eyes, by the way they also scratch their bags.
