Golden Fishery

Qin's father was chopping meat in the kitchen. When Qin Shiou came in, he took the kitchen knife, supported the chopping board with one hand and started chopping.

Winnie came in with the little melon in her arms, looked around, and asked, "Isn't there a meat grinder at home? Why do you still use it?"

Qin's father laughed and said, "Don't use a meat grinder to make dumplings. It doesn't taste good. It makes the meat sticky and the gravy is gone. How can it still taste delicious?"

This time I used mutton, mostly lean meat, which is good for making dumplings with wild vegetables. If the pork is too fatty, the flavor of wild vegetables will be covered up.

After chopping the meat, Qin Shiou mixed the chopped shepherd's purse and meat stuffing evenly, then added some five-spice powder, minced green onion, minced ginger, light soy sauce, sweet sauce, chicken essence, and added a little olive oil after mixing.

While coaxing her daughter, Weini asked about the details of making dumplings. Qin Shiou didn't bother to answer, and said, "Don't you like dumplings? Why do you ask so much?"

Wei Ni said helplessly: "You like to eat, I will wrap it for you in the future, don't I?"

Qin's father waved his hand and said: "It's unnecessary, let Xiaoou make the dumplings himself, he can make the dumplings quickly."

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "If I want to eat dumplings, I don't need to make them myself, just let Shirley and Powell make them."

"You're lazy, work hard." Qin's mother came in with her sleeves rolled up and rolled her eyes.

The family was busy in the kitchen. Sanders came to Qin Shiou, knocked on the door and asked, "Do you have time? I have a project I want to report to you."

Qin Shiou poked his head out from the kitchen and said, "Hey, professor, you're just in time. We're eating dumplings at noon today, so come with Tiya. The wild vegetable dumplings made by my mother are delicious."

After staying in the fishing ground for more than half a year, Sanders and the people in the fishing ground are very familiar. He is a very unassuming scholar, and he can find topics when chatting with people like Bull who haven't finished middle school, so everyone in the fishing ground likes him very much.

Qin's father and Qin's mother especially respect Sanders. In their hearts, a professor who came out of a university that is more powerful than Tsinghua University and Peking University is a remarkable talent. If it is placed in their hometown, it is almost the same as Wenqu Xingxia.

Seeing that the family was busy, Saunders did not continue his topic, but asked cooperatively: "Oh, dumplings? I like this kind of food very much. I used to eat your sour soup in Toronto's Chinatown. Dumplings, is it today too?"

Qin Shiou washed his hands and walked out, smiling, "No, no,

Professor, today is not sour soup dumplings, but the stuffing of dumplings is definitely something you have never eaten before. "

There were still some unused shepherd's purses in the kitchen. The old professor pointed to them and asked, "Is it that kind of wild vegetable? Oh, God. I have never eaten dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables. Can these wild vegetables be eaten?"

Qin Shiou helped him popularize Chinese wild vegetable culture: "The Chinese name of this wild vegetable is shepherd's purse, a healthy wild vegetable. It is rich in shepherd's purse acid, which is an effective hemostatic ingredient that can shorten the bleeding and clotting time."

"In addition, shepherd's purse contains acetylcholine, sitosterol and quaternary ammonium compounds, which can not only reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood and liver. It also has the effect of lowering blood pressure."

After hearing this, Sanders became interested: "This wild vegetable contains hemostatic ingredients? Then I will take some back to my colleagues for help in research. It would be great if these hemostatic ingredients can be added to bio-glue to work. .”

The two sat down in the living room while talking. Winnie helped Saunders make a cup of black tea. The old professor liked to drink this stuff when he was getting old, saying that it would warm him up after drinking it.

While drinking black tea, Sanders changed the topic back: "Do you still remember the carapace of the black-covered giant worm you gave me back then? I want to ask, do you still have this thing?"

Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I got it by chance. I have to look for it before I can give you the answer. What's wrong? Have you researched this thing?"

Sanders approached him and whispered: "Yes, I studied it and found that it is really a very miraculous thing as you said! Its composition is very complicated, and there is a strange mineral in it Composition of material elements, I did an experiment and found that it has the ability to reduce cell metabolism!"

"And then? What's the value of this?" Qin Shiou asked in amazement.

Sanders' expression became serious, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Maybe my guess is not correct, but if it is correct, it would be very scary! I think you know that there are immortals in the myths and legends of various countries. Is the record of the elixir correct?"

Needless to say too much, Qin Shiou understood what Sanders meant. He widened his eyes and asked, "No way, the substance contained in this carapace is similar to the elixir of life?"

Sanders rubbed his hands, and said: "I guess so, but it needs more research and experiments. At least for now, it does have the ability to slow down the metabolic rate of organisms and prolong the life of organisms."

"However, this may not be a good thing. The slowdown of cell metabolism will trigger a chain reaction of life. The consequences are not sure. It will reduce the vitality of life, which is for sure."

Qin Shiou asked, "Then what is its value?"

Sanders said: "The greatest value is to prolong life. You know, whether it is animals or humans, they have the strongest vitality when they are young, and the vitality becomes weaker as they get older. The substance found in the black cover giant worm, It will make people enter old age early and make people less energetic."

"However, this will also make people's lives longer. For normal people, this thing is of little value, but for terminally ill patients and the elderly, it is very useful!"

Having said that, Sanders shook his head, and said: "I will continue to study, if my conjecture is confirmed, then this discovery is a bit too scary., I think we have entered God's forbidden zone, I don't know What are the consequences of that?"

Qin Shiou asked decisively: "Then besides me, who else knows about your research results?"

Sanders smiled and said: "I understand what you are worried about. Only the two of us know this secret. I started this topic by accident, and it went straight to the point. So after I knew the secrets contained in the carapace, I paid great attention to it. Confidentiality issue."

Later, the old professor explained to him why he started this subject by chance.

After Qin Shiou handed over the carapace to him, he didn't pay attention to it for a long time. Some time ago, he had been researching the luminous sail jellyfish. This kind of jellyfish lacks resistance to strong light and will die soon when exposed to strong light. He has been thinking of a way solve this problem. (to be continued)
