Chapter 249: Searching for the Chinese Sturgeon

The saury is known as the first fresh fish in the river, the meat is extremely delicate, and the meat is delicious, fat but not greasy, and has a faint fragrance.

"Brother, the craftsmanship of the master in your shop is okay!" Zhang Yaohua praised.

The shopkeeper said modestly: "Prize, prize!" The main thing is that the ingredients are good, and everyone is happy to eat. ”

He didn't dare to take credit either.

If Jiang Dao doesn't taste good, diners can be so angry that they smash his restaurant.

Of course, the chef of his shop is also good at his skills.

Even the cleaning of the saury is exquisite.

Knife fish cleaning, never like other fish open intestines and belly, but with two bamboo and wood chopsticks, upside down from the gills into the stomach, gently stir, gently pick up, the intestines or something will come out, as long as the gills are torn off, rinse in clean water, the saury can be cooked.

"It's a pity that the wild river knife is really hard to get now, unlike when I was a child, the river knife is not difficult to catch, and I have it in my hometown.

When I was a child, although the saury was cheap, I was reluctant to steam it one by one, and it was cut into three sections, and the three three-by-two saury were put in three small bowls with gold edges.

The bottom of each bowl is coated with pork fat boiled in lard, a slice of ginger is added, a green onion knot is placed, and the ham, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms found from the corners are shredded, and then a little Huashi soy sauce is poured over, and a little sugar and salt are sprinkled.

Finally, don't forget to scoop a little fat and put it on the fish, just go into a large steamer and steam it for five or six minutes. As he spoke, the shopkeeper began to recall.

Other than that, the saury is not a random thing.

If the fish is not cooked after steaming for a short time, the meat will be discounted if it is steamed for a long time.

The experienced chef steamed the saury fish, the chopsticks are clamped on the head, and the bottom half of the fish lies in the juice and does not move, and then shakes, the upper half of the fish gently slides into the juice, and the shape remains unchanged, while the clean fish bone is still clamped on the chopsticks, and the fish bone is fried in the oil pan, and the waste becomes treasure.

Zhang Yaohua asked again: "Brother, ......what is your hometown?"

"Ligang's, the little brother can go and play when he has time, it's not far away anyway." The shopkeeper invited.

Belch!

Zhang Yaohua was slightly embarrassed because he had never heard of this place.

But he was embarrassed to say it, so he said perfunctorily: "Mmmm! Definitely, definitely. ”

Zhu Weiguang laughed: "Ah Hua, do you still know about Li Gang? ”

was exposed by him like this, Zhang Yaohua was embarrassed to pretend, and shook his head with a wry smile: "What is the place?" ”

The shopkeeper added: "Does Jiangyin know? ”

Yes? Zhang Yaohua was surprised, Jiangyin is Jiangyin! He remembers that Jiangyin is a county-level city, right? Is this an introduction to your hometown outside the province and directly accurate to the town?

It's outrageous.

It is rumored on the Internet that Jiangsu is in bulk, and Zhang Yaohua has seen it. If Jiangsu doesn't bring it, even Wuxi, or even Jiangyin, it's a bit excessive.

"You know, Jiangyin is very famous."

Zhang Yaohua did not compliment this sentence, but stated the facts, that place has been rich since ancient times, and now a county-level city has a GDP of more than 400 billion, which makes many prefecture-level cities ashamed.

The geographical location of Jiangyin is also very superior, and it is completely a place where God appreciates food and eats.

Jiangyin is close to the Yangtze River, and it is not surprising that it can catch river knives.

The owner said that in the past, saury was the most popular high-end dish in the restaurant.

"And our saury is the best." He said again.

Zhu Weiguang saw that none of the outsiders present were outsiders, and he revealed: "Indeed, the saury fish I have eaten is really the best in Jiangyin." Actually, for most people, it is difficult to make a difference, but you Cantonese people should be fine. ”

Cantonese people pay attention to the freshness of ingredients in everything they eat, and they have cultivated a mouth with a sensitive sense of taste.

Some are powerful, you can eat all the ingredients in a dish, and there is a little bit of spiciness, which can be magnified countless times in the mouths of Cantonese people.

"Moreover, I heard that there is a scientific basis for this."

There are saury fish along the river, including the coastal and even the lakes that connect the big rivers, but the old people of Jiangyin often proudly say that the saury in Jiangyin is the best.

That's because the saury eats extremely fat in the offshore sea, and stops eating when it begins to spawn up the river, and near the sea, the saury still has the smell of seawater, and the fat of the saury is gone.

When he arrived in Jiangyin, it was precisely after one or two hundred miles of river water that he washed away the fishy smell of the sea, and did not go through a long journey, so that his fat degree was reduced.

Therefore, the saury caught on the river surface in the Jiangyin area tastes the best, and it is not groundless.

"It's just a bit too thorny."

Zhang Yaohua also thought that such a famous river fresh should have no thorns.

But he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of spines in the swordfish.

Not to mention the terrifying triangular thorns in the abdomen, there are also fish thorns all over the body.

If it weren't for the delicious taste of this saury, I'm afraid many people would dislike it, right?

"To eat this kind of fish, you have to taste it carefully, and you have to be patient to eat it." Zhu Weiguang eats fish very interestingly, when it comes to his mouth, the meat returns to the meat, and the thorns return to the thorns.

It's just a clever tongue.

If you want to say that the most patient person to eat, it is definitely the people of Jiangnan, and watching and eating crabs is the most classic. People eat crabs, no matter how small the crab legs are, the meat inside can be eaten cleanly.

In addition to being able to eat, cooking is naturally also awesome and varied.

In the case of crabs, each city seems to have its own unique practices.

For example, the drunken crab in the magic capital is added with soy sauce, which has a strong salty and fresh taste; Suzhou will take June yellow to make drunk crabs, which is probably the earliest drunk crab that can be eaten every year, and many Suzhou-style drunk crabs are freshly drunk, that is, they are eaten immediately, the crab protein has not yet solidified, and the drunk shrimp is the same translucent gelatinous as the taste.

Yangzhou's Zhongzhuang drunken crab is slightly sweet; Hangzhou drunken crab wine is prominent, and dried osmanthus will be added to make the crab meat with the fragrance of osmanthus, which is the best combination of the two seasons; The drunken crabs in Huizhou are pickled in white wine, and even the crab claws are full of wine.

The guests at the previous table, the saury they ate was different from the practice of Zhang Yaohua's table.

They're braised red.

The owner explained that the freshest saury that has just come out of the water is steamed, while the slightly worse ones are braised in a braised way, and the worse ones are braised in a sweet and sour way, or even fried.

After eating and tea, Zhang Yaohua and Zhu Weiguang came out of the restaurant.

Zhang Yaohua teased: "They all say that this is a food desert, but I don't think so!" It's that they haven't found a restaurant to cook good food. ”

Zhu Weiguang suddenly smiled bitterly: "People say so, there is nothing wrong with it, Hangzhou does have little food." The most famous West Lake vinegar fish, if you have tasted it, you will not say so. ”

Yes?

How unpalatable is West Lake vinegar fish? Even his own people complain like this.

Zhu Weiguang added: "Don't believe in evil! ”

Many people just don't believe in evil, and they come here to taste it, whether netizens say it so exaggeratedly. But those who have eaten it will not have a second time, and the taste will be more exaggerated than they expected.

It is exactly the same as the evaluation of netizens: fish is fish, vinegar is vinegar, and West Lake is West Lake.

A fish is made into a vinegar fish in West Lake, and the fish died a little unjustly, so it is better to die directly in West Lake.

"Don't worry! My main focus is to listen to persuasion. ”

Zhu Weiguang took Zhang Yaohua to find the hotel.

He's a little far away!

In fact, the main thing is that he is a man who doesn't like to go home. Otherwise, my wife won't run away with a bucket.

The next day, Zhu Weiguang originally wanted to take Zhang Yaohua to fish.

Fishing in the Qiantang River is also very enjoyable, and there are many big fish.

Just then, someone called him.

"What? Chinese sturgeon in the wild? I've seen that area in Ningbo, but if you want me to look for it now, I will definitely not find it. Zhu Weiguang said.

The wild Chinese sturgeon is very rare, a national first-class protected animal, and is a critically endangered species. Rumors circulate every year that the Chinese sturgeon is extinct!

But in fact, there are still others, but they are not visible to ordinary people.

As a veteran angler, he saw Chinese sturgeons by chance.

"By the way, what are you looking for Chinese sturgeons for? Recording a show? ”

After listening, Zhu Weiguang felt a little painful.

His friend works for a television station and wants to start a show to find endangered species.

The Chinese sturgeon is one of the very important representatives, so he found Zhu Weiguang and knew that Zhu Weiguang had many places to fish and run, maybe he knew.

If the Chinese sturgeon could not be found, they had to shift their focus and look for the Chinese white dolphin.

"Okay! Let me help you ask the insiders to see if you have encountered them recently. In the end, Zhu Weiguang still agreed to the other party, who called him only a few true friends!

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Weiguang said apologetically to Zhang Yaohua: "Ahua, I'm sorry! Plans have changed. ”

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "It's okay!" Anyway, I'm bored to play, you can arrange whatever you want. I'd like to see the Chinese sturgeon in the wild. ”

"Alright, let's go."

Before driving, Zhu Weiguang had already inquired about the news in the circle.

I have to say that Zhu Weiguang's circle in the fishing world is not small.

Even before he could meet his friends who worked at the TV station, he got the news.

A fisherman told him that he had encountered it in Jiujiang two days ago, but he couldn't guarantee that it was wild.

In fact, Chinese sturgeons are bred in captivity and released into the Yangtze River every year in order to restore the Chinese sturgeon population. According to statistics, in the past two or three decades, more than 7 million Chinese sturgeons have been released in China.

It stands to reason that more than 7 million Chinese sturgeons have been released into exile in the Yangtze River for decades. If not the Chinese sturgeon is overcrowded, at least the population should also increase.

However, the fact is that the giant panda Duxi has been "downgraded", and the Chinese sturgeon, which has to be exiled 200,000 every year, is still a critically endangered animal; Not to mention that the number has increased to the point where it is out of the danger of extinction, and it is not even possible to downgrade.

The survival rate of the released Chinese sturgeon is very low, with some estimating that it is only 1 in 10,000.

In the early days, our scientists did not have enough understanding of the Chinese sturgeon, and the technology and experience were not particularly advanced. Artificially hatched Chinese sturgeons can only be released back into the Yangtze River in the seedling state.

However, young Chinese sturgeons are very difficult to survive in the wild, and some small fish can prey on them. Coupled with the pollution of the Yangtze River and the impact of the ship channel on fish, the survival rate of the released Chinese sturgeon is very low.

"Old Song, this is my good buddy Zhang Yaohua, similar to you. His luck is good, whether your program team can meet the Chinese sturgeon this time, maybe you have to rely on Ah Hua. ”

Zhu Weiguang's friend is a Sven man who wears glasses, and when he saw him, Zhang Yaohua thought of one word: gentleman.

"Hello! Since it is Lao Zhu's brother, it is also my brother, and I also call you Ahua? It's okay if you call me Lao Song. Then this time, it's up to you. Song Qingshu smiled lightly and shook hands with Zhang Yaohua.

"Just call me Ah Hua, I'll call you Brother Song! It's not as exaggerated as Brother Zhu said. Zhang Yaohua shook hands with him.

Although the language of the two of them expressed closeness, they were not deliberate, and they were somewhat casual and indifferent.

Is this the legendary "gentleman's friendship is as light as water"?

"There is news, Chinese sturgeons have been found in Jiujiang, do you want to go over now?"

Song Qingshu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately nodded: "Hmm! I'm well prepared and ready to go. You wait, I'll arrange it. ”

After speaking, he called someone and asked the members of the program team to bring their equipment and set off as soon as possible.

"Would you like to make a guest appearance?" After the arrangement, Song Qingshu turned his head and asked Zhu Weiguang.

"I'm not a star, what's there to make a cameo? You might as well find Ah Hua, he can be regarded as an Internet celebrity to some extent. Zhu Weiguang excused himself.

Well?

Song Qingshu turned to look at Zhang Yaohua, he didn't have any impression of Internet celebrities, and those who had heard of them were the top ones.

"Brother Song, don't listen to his nonsense, what kind of Internet celebrity am I? There is not even a live broadcast number. ”

Aren't all Internet celebrities making money from live broadcasts?

And although he is a little famous on the Internet, he doesn't even have an account, he has no fans on paper, strictly speaking, he can't really talk about Internet celebrities.

"What nonsense am I talking about? You haven't created an account on a video site, otherwise it's not difficult to have a million followers. ”

With hundreds of thousands of followers, he can basically be called an Internet celebrity.

"Don't believe it, you search for the owner of Jinji Island!" Zhu Weiguang said to Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu really searched it with his mobile phone, and it was densely packed with Zhang Yaohua's information, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

"Ah Hua, can you make a cameo?"

They still need traffic to do shows, otherwise why invite celebrities?

"I haven't recorded a show, I'm afraid I'll mess it up!"

Song Qingshu waved his hand: "Just act in your true colors, I haven't recorded a show, it doesn't matter." ”

"That's fine!" Zhang Yaohua said casually.

Anyway, it's a fishing moratorium, so you don't have to go to sea, just have fun!

"Good! I'll ask you to give you a pay contract in a while, knowing that you may not be able to pay that much, but this is the rule, and you don't have to look at my face. ”

The money was paid by the TV station, not by him. Song Qingshu was afraid that Zhang Yaohua would be modest, and for the sake of him and Zhu Weiguang's face, he would not be rewarded.

You don't have to.

Song Qingshu hopes that his friends will get sky-high remuneration on the TV station.

"Okay." Zhang Yaohua nodded.

It should be his own, and he won't want it, that's too stupid.

An hour later, Zhang Yaohua signed a remuneration contract worth 800,000 yuan.

This remuneration should be the lowest among the guests. But it can't be helped! Who called him the least famous? This kind of remuneration is generally linked to the fame of the guests.
