Chapter 744: Fishing in Troubled Waters
The pump is running, and the harsh sounds are constantly ringing.
The water in the river is about to dry up since yesterday afternoon.
Han Xuan heard that Mr. Te Qiao from Poe Construction Company often mentioned the Coney Island Amusement Park. Thinking of the company's construction direction, how could he not know what Te Qiao was thinking, and said with a smile:
"The construction of that project will not start for a while. Let's talk about the project here at Snow Mountain Ranch first.
You can bid, if the quotation and engineering technology are good, I will leave some of them to you to build."
Tejo was immediately delighted when he heard this. All he wanted was an opportunity to participate.
Poe Company is not small, but it is not enough to see compared to those giants. Without Han Xuan nodding and agreeing, I guess I can't even touch the bidding door.
He promised with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, the paragliding take-off platform has been completed now, and the river renovation will definitely satisfy you this time.
In addition to widening it to twelve meters, a total of nine steps will be built. After completion, the drop will be nearly seven meters from the starting point upstream to the end point downstream.
The drift is enough, and even if it doesn't move, the water will take people downstream.
The design is in my car, I'll give it to you?"
"Let's leave it for now, and I'll see it when I have time."
Han Xuan took off his shoes and rolled up his trousers, then took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and faced the bodyguards a few meters away and called out: "Go to the river to catch fish, take the tools over to help!"
Jote's face was thrusting, and Han Xuan wanted to go down the river to catch fish, but he couldn't watch it on the shore.
After taking a look at the exposed mud after taking off the river water, he gritted his teeth and took off his suit and said, "I'll help you too!"
The temperature is over twenty degrees and the river water is not cold.
Han Xuan heard that Feng He was pumping water, so he planned to come here to catch fish today.
The things were prepared quite well, and with bamboo baskets and nets, they came to the upstream source of the river blocking water and began to sweep downstream.
I stepped barefoot in the mud that had just passed my ankle, and the mud under my feet was soft.
Occasionally I can step on some stones, and the stones in this river have been washed away by water for hundreds of years and have long become smooth.
I noticed that what I stepped on this time was not right, Han Xuan bent down and reached out to touch it, and picked up a large river clam with mud on the surface.
This kind of river clam is a freshwater clam unique to the United States. Pearls can be found occasionally, but most of them are defective and not valuable.
I don’t remember how many years I haven’t eaten this kind of delicacy. In people’s curious eyes, Han Xuan smiled and washed the river clams and threw them into the bamboo basket beside him.
Galgernon asked him: "Boss, why do you want river clams?"
"Eat it, cook it."
Han Xuan had never seen them eat this thing, probably because he was afraid of parasites.
Western food is rarely cooked, so be extra careful when eating, not like Chinese food, fried and stewed, while destroying nutrition, parasites are also killed.
Bodyguard Irving tasted the duck soup that day. Now he heard that river clams can be eaten, so he hurriedly reached out to explore the mud.
This thing has been breeding in the river for decades, and there are no natural enemies. It is extremely numerous. As soon as I walked a few meters, I found a large one.
Owen threw it into a bamboo basket and said, "Get more and let's try it for dinner."
"It tastes really delicious when you make it into a river clam soup, but you have to ask the chef to help me, I can't make it."
While speaking, Han Xuan saw something twisting in the mud and water. His exposed head showed that it was a black fish, and his body was more than half a meter long.
He hurriedly stepped on the mud and ran over, pressed the black fish with one hand, held it hard with both hands, and raised the fish and laughed.
As the black fish twisted its tail, it shook his face with mud: "Wow! I don't know there will be black fish in the river!"
“This is also a harmful species of fish that can be caught occasionally, and the number has increased in recent years.
They are not as arrogant as carp and never surfaces, but like carp, they also like to eat small fish.
Be careful, its teeth are very sharp.”
After Old Patton finished speaking, Han Xuan looked at the black fish's open mouth, which was indeed filled with tiny sharp teeth.
After eating so much sauerkraut fish, he had never carefully observed the raw materials of this sauerkraut fish...
Jason shouted, "What are you trying to catch this kind of fish? You have to eat it?"
"Otherwise?" Han Xuan asked, "Look at my skin color, Chinese!
Apart from poisonous fish, which one can’t be eaten... No, you can eat it even if it is poisonous, such as puffer fish!
I saw that all the big fish were caught, and I had to use it in the restaurant. It doesn’t matter if there were too many. I found a lake to keep it, so I would save myself from catching it again.”
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the United States do not eat freshwater fish. They think it is troublesome and do not like to pick thorns. They prefer sea fish with less thorns and more meat.
In supermarkets and aquatic markets, freshwater fish are almost nowhere to be seen. Fishing enthusiasts will also use them to release them when they catch fish.
In the early 1930s and 1940s, many waters were polluted, and the United States issued a law banning freshwater fish.
Also, the United States has never had a famine. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, has enough seafood resources, and the price is very cheap.
Various reasons combined have led to them not eating freshwater fish. The bodyguards previously thought that Han Xuan wanted to catch fish and played with it, but they didn't guess that this guy was going to eat it.
All at once thought, the Chinese are indeed a race standing at the top of the food chain
Some small puddles were filled with bigfish, carp, grass carp, green carp, silver carp, etc., and several large fish were one meter long.
You can pick up a fish in a few steps. This is what survived after a large number of deaths. It can be seen that the Asian carp in the nearby rivers are flooding to a point.
Han Xuan looked at the big bastard who was not much shorter than him and became stupid.
The fish were so easy to pick up. I brought eight frames over and walked less than a hundred meters away, and I was piled up by various fish and river clams.
Gonzalez went down the river to join in the fun and said, "It's all carp, and other fish can hardly be seen.
I heard that in the Iowa, a boy swims naked last summer and was bitten by a black fish.
When did they breed so many? When I was a kid, there were no fish of these kinds in the river."
Old Patton was full of confusion. He usually couldn't see their numbers in the water. Now that the water has dried up, the hidden dangers are exposed.
He said, "These Asian carp like to eat small fish, and other fish can't escape their pursuit. It is estimated that the number of carp in Rota Lake is greater.
It's a joke that the protection organization also wants the high-first sturgeon to lay eggs here.
The number of fish roe produced is not enough to eat these fish, so we can no longer let it go. The government invested nearly 200 million US dollars last year to kill carp in the Great Lakes."
"What's the difficulty? Just make it into food and eat it."
Han Xuan was covered in mud, his face and hair were covered in mud, and he waved his hand to Martinez, who was standing on the shore and watching, saying, "Find a few pickup trucks and pull all these fish to the cafeteria."
Help me call Wu Tao and ask him if it’s troublesome to make fish balls.
There are so many fish, when will you pick them up? Find some people to help pick them up together.
I should be rich by watching my baby crying for poverty” (To be continued.)
