Chapter 323: The Philippine National Fish Flolic
The map appears to have been drawn entirely by hand, with different colors representing different terrains, and a brush drawing the shapes of mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests, and even a number in each place.
The map as a whole looks like a map of an island, and the drawing is very good, and many things are drawn vividly.
On this map, there is a nondescript hill codenamed 1038 on the mountainside, with a sun-like shape drawn on it, which looks a lot like the location of the treasure hidden on the map.
Just after reading the map, Li Xiaofeng also found a big problem: that is, except for a series of numerical codes in various places on the map, he did not find any text notes. So just looking at the terrain on this map and the string of numbers on it, it's completely confusing.
This also made Li Xiaofeng have to suspect that this was only because the map was separated, and the original map should have text notes on these numbers.
Otherwise, it can be said that it is difficult to find the places marked on the map just by looking at the terrain on the map and the series of numbers, even if Li Xiaofeng has a map that can cheat, he can't do it.
After all, the scope of his map is still very limited, and the map does not indicate the name of the island in this drawing.
You must know that there are more than 7,000 islands in the Philippines alone, and there are more than 1,000 islands in Indonesia not far away, not counting small countries such as Brunei and Timor-Leste.
To do this, these Southeast Asian countries were all occupied by Xiaori during World War II.
Therefore, trying to find out the island based on the topography of the island drawn on the map alone is not necessarily accurate, and trying to find the island is really like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Of course, now that technology is becoming more and more advanced, this is not completely impossible, but it takes a lot of time.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng gave up the idea of continuing to explore, and carefully folded the hand-drawn treasure map again, and then locked it back into the safe together with the opened mahogany box.
By the time he woke up again, it was time for lunch, and although he had only slept for four or five hours, he was still full of energy.
After a simple meal, the fishing boat set sail again.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaofeng was chatting with Han Minghua and Hu Dequan in the sorting cabin, and at this time Li Xiaoliang walked in from outside with a smile on his face.
"Brother Feng, the net we just had was a bumper harvest, and there should be tens of thousands of catties of aconitum fish alone!" Li Xiaoliang said happily.
"Aconitum fish?" Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but be stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, and Han Minghua and Hu Dequan next to him couldn't help laughing after hearing it.
Seeing the three of them laughing at themselves, this couldn't help but make Li Xiaoliang, who had just come in, feel inexplicable, and even felt a little hairy.
"Xiaoliang, are you sure that all the fish you just caught are aconitum fish?" Han Minghua, who was standing next to Li Xiaofeng, asked with a smile.
At this time, Han Minghua thought in his heart: "It seems that this fish is not me, and I will admit my mistake!" ”
Seeing the smiles of the three people, Li Xiaoliang, who was originally very confident, couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, and his voice was a little quieter: "Brother Hua, isn't it the aconitum fish that was caught just now?" ”
"Of course not!" Han Minghua said in his heart, but he didn't speak, because he also admitted his mistake when the three of them were chatting just now.
"Xiaoliang, it seems that you and Huazi still need to learn more about marine fish!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Brother Feng, if this is not aconitum, what kind of fish is it?" Li Xiaoliang asked in a low voice.
"This kind of fish is called milkfish, and it is also called seagrass carp, milk fish, national surname fish, milkfish, hemp lice fish, etc., but they are not called aconitum fish." Li Xiaofeng replied with a laugh.
"Milkfish, how can there be a fish with such a strange name?" Li Xiaoliang muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Don't complain, because the person who named it didn't know what it was called." Li Xiaofeng said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
"Milkfish, what fish, these two pronunciations are really a bit similar!" After listening to Li Xiaofeng's words, Li Xiaoliang said after savoring a few words of reaction.
"I didn't know what the name of this fish was, but legend has it that when the Chinese surnamed Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, he especially liked to eat this delicious fish, so he asked the locals what kind of fish it was in Quanzhou dialect?" Li Xiaofeng patiently explained, "The locals thought that the national surname also gave the fish a name as soon as they were happy, and from then on they called them milkfish." Out of respect for Zheng Chenggong, some Taiwanese call them national surname fish. ”
Milkfish are warm-water deep-sea fish found throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and they usually prefer to move in pairs, mostly inhabiting the pelagic layer of the water column.
However, the size of milkfish is indeed somewhat similar to that of aconitum, and this fish is not very common in the mainland, so it is no wonder that Han Minghua and Li Xiaoliang are mistaken.
Adult milkfish can generally grow to more than three kilograms, and some larger ones can even grow to more than ten kilograms.
Milkfish has a wide range of salt tolerance, can live in the sea, semi-brackish water and fresh water, coupled with its delicate and delicious meat, high nutritional value, so it has a wide range of aquaculture in the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan.
In Taiwan, people are very fond of milkfish, and there are even many special milkfish restaurants in many streets and alleys in Tainan.
In addition, milkfish skin, fish belly and internal organs have special cooking methods, and they even have the titles of "Taiwan's No. 1 Fish" and "Champion Fish" in Taiwan, which is enough to see how much local people love milkfish.
Milkfish are also known as milk fish in the Philippines, mainly because when they are cooked, the soup has a milky white color like milk.
In the Philippines, milk fish is also the most farmed fish and has become an important source of protein for the local people.
Every year in the Philippines, the 30th of April in Bansylan Province is even designated as the Milk Fish Festival, which also makes them a national symbol and is known as the national fish of the Philippines!
"Brother Feng, how about the price of this milkfish?" Li Xiaoliang asked.
"The price is not bad in Taiwan and the Philippines." Li Xiaofeng replied with a smile, "It's a pity that it's not very valuable on our side, and it is estimated that ten yuan a pound is not easy to sell." ”
Because this fish has too many small spines on its body, it has not been popular in mainland China, and few fishermen are willing to breed them.
