Chapter 373 Liver flukes in the belly of red scale fish
After hearing Su Bai's question, Zhao Xinqing thought for a moment and replied:
"Theoretically, liver flukes are generally spread through food."
"Water... generally won't, but it's not entirely impossible."
"Why do you ask?"
Su Bai narrowed his eyes and continued to ask:
"Four fish were caught, and all were infected with liver flukes. Does this mean that the density of liver fluke eggs in the pool will be very high?"
Zhao Xinqing thought for a while, nodded and said:
"Well, based on this ratio, all the red-scaled fish in this pool are probably infected."
"So there should be many insect eggs invisible to the naked eye in the water..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xinqing seemed to remember something, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said in disbelief:
"You mean..."
"The two of them?"
"However... even if there are insect eggs in the water, the little water they drank is limited after all. The infection intensity will not be too high and it will not have any impact in a short period of time."
After some calculation, Zhao Xinqing speculated:
"It may take more than half a year to cause obvious symptoms."
Su Bai understood, nodded, and lowered his voice:
"I understand."
"Don't remind them about this matter, don't let the barrage know about it, and pretend you don't know about it."
"This is important."
"Oh... okay..." Zhao Xinqing nodded as if she understood.
A cold light flashed in Su Bai's eyes.
Isn’t the infection strong enough?
Then help them increase their efforts!
Su Bai turned around to the pool, and at very high speed, washed the four red-scaled fish that had their abdominal cavity opened in the pool water.
The fish's internal organs, as well as the liver flukes densely packed in the abdominal cavity, were all cleaned out and fell into the depths of the pool little by little.
The remaining red-scaled fish body showed no traces of liver fluke infection.
But its flesh and blood must be filled with liver fluke eggs that are invisible to the naked eye!
Su Bai found a clean rock slab and used the sharp edge of a dagger to cut four red-scaled fish into sashimi on the rock slab.
Placing the sashimi of one of the red-scaled fish on a piece of clean bark, Su Bai stood up with a smile, took the dagger, and walked towards the two Fusang girls.
"Thanks to Miss Umekawa's care, I ate a lot of venison yesterday."
"There is an old saying in China that it is disrespectful to call someone to come but not to call someone back."
Su Bai handed the dagger back and pretended to be kind and said:
"A game is a game. Since we are destined to be together, we can be regarded as temporary partners."
"The red-scaled fish is very delicious and is one of the five tribute fishes in ancient China."
"Fuso is located on an island and has always loved fish."
"I think you two can't miss such delicious food."
With that said, Su Bai handed the bark to Nana Teng.
Nana looked at Su Bai's gentle smile. For a moment, her eyes seemed to be glued to Su Bai's lips, unable to move away.
She subconsciously took the bark from Su Bai, her face turned red, and she quickly smiled:
"Thank you Su Baijun..."
"You...you are so considerate..."
"Chinese men are really generous."
"They are just different from our Fuso men..."
In the two Fuso live broadcast rooms, the Fuso Kingdom barrages swept the screen like crazy:
【???】
【??????】
【?????????】
【What do you mean by this? Why does it sound so harsh???】
[I, Fusang, don’t have any good men? Can none of them be as good as Su Bai???]
[Nana is very vine! Don’t forget! You are also a Fuso person yourself! 】
[Bah! I’m ashamed to be in your company! I’m so flattering to this Chinese person!]
On the side, Umekawa Neiku still remained awake, with a trace of doubt flashing in his heart.
This guy...
Why are you so easy to get along with?
Could it be that... you don't want to offend us too much?
Do you also want to maintain a state of fighting without defeat?
No, shouldn't Su Bai seek to break up the relationship as soon as possible so that he can part ways with us naturally?
Meikawauchi's cool eyes swept over the red-scaled fish fillets handed over by Su Bai, and he said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that Mr. Su Bai is so proficient in my Fusang cooking methods."
"This fish fillet is evenly thin and thick, with a transparent texture. It's a result of the finest Fuso cooking skills."
"If you can cut out such sashimi with a dagger, Mr. Su Bai is very determined."
Su Bai raised his eyebrows.
Does this imply that he admires Fusang culture?
Once Su Bai acquiesces to Meikawa Neiku, he will definitely be blasted by Shenzhou barrages after he returns.
In addition, the previous impact of Nana being very humble and petty in front of Su Bai will be eliminated.
Su Bai's mind was spinning with thoughts, and he smiled lightly, shook his head and said:
"No, in the coastal areas of China, there is also the custom of eating raw fish occasionally."
"My method of cutting fish was learned from Guang (Mosaic) Province in China."
"Miss Meichuan looks familiar. Maybe she was brought there by the envoy from Tang Dynasty?"
As soon as these words came out, Umekawa's cool eyes couldn't help but darken.
Su Bai's words were quite heartbreaking.
Not only did he block Umekawa Uchiku's previous attack, he even hit him with a counterattack.
The key is...
Su Bai talked about "sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty".
Fuso people who know a little bit about history will subconsciously avoid talking about this matter and remain silent...
When we talk about it, we have to recognize the story of returning to our ancestors, or it is better to pretend not to know.
Su Bai looked at the change in Meichuan Neiku's expression, smiled faintly, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Seeing Su Bai go back, Nana turned her attention back to the sashimi.
She thought happily:
A gift from Su Bai!
It must be delicious…
He caught one for Zhao Xinqing, but he also caught one for me!
That being said...
Nana's eyes lingered on Su Bai's back for a moment, then she picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in her mouth.
Umekawauchi's cool eyes and quick hands quickly grabbed Nana's wrist.
Nana looked at her in astonishment.
Umekawauchi frowned slightly and whispered:
"This is a freshwater fish..."
"It's very dangerous to eat raw..."
"Especially since we are in the wilderness and have no medical treatment. Once we are infected, we have no choice but to withdraw from the competition."
In the modern sense, sashimi is mostly eaten from the sea.
Compared with freshwater fish, marine fish have much fewer parasitic diseases and bacterial infections.
With the blessing of modern technology, raw fish such as salmon will be matured at low temperatures to further kill parasites and bacteria.
But even so, the proportion of parasitic diseases in areas where raw fish is eaten is still much higher than in other areas.
As for freshwater fish…
Umekawa Neiku really doesn’t dare to eat it raw...
Nana hesitated for a moment and looked down at the red-scaled fish fillets.
"Sister, look."
"This fish meat is crystal clear, has a fine texture, and feels smooth to the touch. It is of top quality at first glance."
"This product is a specialty of China. This may be the only chance in our lives that we can taste it..."
"and……"
"The water in this pool is crystal clear and very clean. The possibility of the fish living in it getting sick should be very low, right?"
Umekawa Uchiku looked at the fish fillet in Nana Koto's hand.
As a Fuso native, she had to admit that this fish fillet was very attractive.
The red scale fish is of high quality.
There is no need to eat it in the mouth. Umegawa Naikou can confirm by sight alone that the fish fillet melts in the mouth, and the feeling of chewing it between the lips and teeth is absolutely delicate and full.
Su Bai's cutting technique is also very skillful, and he can bring out the meat quality of the red-scaled fish to an almost perfect level.
It is indeed a rare delicacy...
Umekawauchi hesitated and said:
"But...the clear water quality only proves that there are few bacteria..."
"Parasites may still exist..."
She was very confused.
As a Fuso person, I instinctively want to eat these delicate and delicious sashimi.
But her reason told her that doing so would be dangerous.
