Chapter 13 Salmon
The autumn weather is crisp, and Mi Fang has been taking 50,000 victims of the Central Plains to the Tumen River basin to reclaim the famine for more than a month.
Gongsun Kang decided to take the whole family to see him and go on a trip!
Essentially muttering? Gongsun Kang misses the salmon (salmon) there. In particular, the salmon roe, which is as big as a soybean, is so delicious! Not to mention the carefully prepared caviar, it is simply a scrambled egg with salmon roe, which is also fragrant and chewy.
There are five types of salmon, which are:
Arctic salmon – also called arctic char;
Colorful salmon – also called American char;
Dolly salmon – also called plaster char;
Lake salmon - also called lake salmon, gray trout;
Bullhead salmon - also called char, tribal.
In addition to these five species, there are two subspecies of salmon, which can be regarded as branches called salmon, that is, sea trout and rainbow trout.
This salmon is actually a flamingo trout!
And the Tumen River and Heilongjiang River basins are rich in salmon!
Before Mi Fang took office, Gongsun Kang sent him 30 big boats, which were used for him to fish. If you grasp the fishing flood in the autumn for two months, the fish you will shoot is enough for 50,000 people to eat for a year!
Gongsun Kang took his wife and children and set off. Pay attention to this "we", it means that it is not one, but a lot.
Take stock: Zhen Jiang took his son Gongsun Huang; Cai Wenji took her son Gongsun Yuan. Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Yuan are both names given by their grandfather Gongsun Du, which is the inertia of history. They are all three years old this year. It was Cai Wenji who took the two little guys to recognize words and enlighten them. Cai Wenji is a university scholar herself, and she is better at teaching than those rotten old men.
Qiqige and her two-year-old daughter Gongsun Ge, Qi Muge, Diao Chan and her one-year-old daughter Gongsun Mei, Elk, Lu Lingqi, Foot Trainer and her one-year-old son Gongsun Yue, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Mei Ji, Zhi Ji.
There are also two oil bottles, Zhen Mi and Cai Wenji's sister Cai.
In this way, there are not many wives and concubines, which is much worse than the standard of seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts. I'm going to keep trying! Gongsun Kang thought shamelessly.
Including maids, domestic servants, guards, cooks, etc., there were more than 800 people in the group. Gongsun Kang had no choice but to find two thousand-stone ships to load everyone down.
The big boats set off from Liaodong and traveled east along the Yalu River, sometimes going up land for a while, then down to unknown rivers, and finally to the Tumen River.
Along the way, the river boat was arranged, the bottom of the river boat was flat, and the bottom of the sea boat was pointed, inverted triangle. This is an important difference between river boats and sea vessels.
When the big ship entered the Tumen River, Gongsun Kang instructed him to find some large islands near the mouth of the sea and go to the islands to see the scenery.
Da Qiaojiao smiled and asked, "Husband, what will be the scenery on the island?" ”
"Fish, boundless fish!" Gongsun Kang pretended to answer profoundly.
Da Qiao was not satisfied with this answer, pursed his lips, and turned to look at the gentle river. From the back, the soft curve between the waist and the hips, and the smooth jade legs, are all fascinating.
Gongsun Kang has had too many women in the past two years, and before he knew it, Da Qiao had matured. Looking at Da Qiao's back, Gongsun Kang wiped his saliva: Da Qiao is 17 years old this year and can eat it.
When the big ship approached the island, it found that it was a deep water bend, and the big ship of 1,000 stones could get closer, and finally stopped at a distance of about 30 meters from the island. Because if you go in again, you'll hit the rocks!
However, at such a close distance, everyone finally saw a shocking picture.
I saw a freshwater river flowing slowly out of the dense forest in front of me. The river is not large, about 2 meters wide at its narrowest point. In fact, this kind of river is not a river, it is more appropriate to call it a creek!
It's not shocking, it's shocking that this creek is full of fish, salmon, it seems to be salmon!
This two-meter-wide creek is directly filled with these salmon!
It's really filled! Densely packed, those schools of salmon rushed into the mouth of the creek and 'occupied' the stream!
Now I see not only a stream, but a stream of salmon.
Gongsun Kang had a feeling that he could walk over the stream, because the stream was already filled with salmon. These fish have completely built a school of fish.
"It's horrible! How many salmon would it take to fill this creek! Old man Cai Yong said dumbfounded. That's right, Cai Yong also followed.
At this time, the seabirds flew over the stream, and after eating one, they continued to pounce on another one, and so many salmon pecked at any time, without even looking at them.
Salmon are ephedra yellow, so it looks like this stream is ephemeral, and the scene is extremely shocking.
In addition to seabirds, many land animals come out of the dense forest to get a piece of the pie. How could they miss such a feast? This season is also the day when the animals on the island's land have the most to worry about food. It's not that you don't worry, but you don't want to eat it. A river is densely packed with salmon, and I really don't want to eat it.
In the dense forest, which everyone can't see, black bears, small foxes with fiery red, gray wolves and other animals are catching fish, which is their annual carnival season. Each animal is not far away, but they live in peace, and eat food that they don't want to eat anymore, so that they no longer have the heart to fight.
Cai Wenji asked humbly: "Husband knows the reason for this." She said it rightly, as if Gongsun Kang should understand.
Gongsun Kang didn't sell it, smiled slightly, raised his voice, and let his wife, concubines and children hear it. He said, "This phenomenon is called migration!" ”
Juveniles live in freshwater for 2-3 years, then go to sea, live in the sea for a year or several years, grow into large fish, and return to their original birthplace to lay eggs when they are sexually mature. From entering the estuary to the upper stream, they must rely on their swimming ability, which is very strong in order to complete the reproductive task, and in order to fly over obstacles in the river such as waterfalls and weirs, they must have a strong swimming ability to rush out of the water and jump over obstacles. Their act of "flying" over the waterfall has been praised as a spectacle for many years.
Salmon is a kind of anadromous migratory fish, which lives in rivers and streams for 1~5 years and then enters the sea for 2~4 years. The spawning period is from August to January. During the breeding season, sexually mature salmon return to the river where they were born in clusters to spawn. During the anadromous spawning migration, they jump over small waterfalls and small dikes, and travel long distances to reach their spawning grounds without feeding.
Everyone is like hearing the book of heaven, and there are such fish?
