Golden Fishery

After getting out of the cage for more than half an hour, Qin's father went into the water with his trouser legs in his arms and pulled up the shrimp trap. Inside, there were dozens of fat crayfish holding their claws to demonstrate.

Qin Shiou has gone to catch lobsters before, and they are all big ones weighing several kilograms. It is easy to catch these small things that are at most ten centimeters long.

Qin's father prepared the rubber band, and after catching the crayfish, put it on the big claws, so that the mighty and domineering crayfish will be caught blind.

There is a limit to the growth of crayfish. Generally, they can't grow when they reach ten centimeters, but under the evolution of Sea God's energy, crayfish in fish ponds can grow to twelve or thirteen centimeters.

Compared with ordinary crayfish, the crayfish improved by Poseidon's energy is stronger and fatter, and the carapace is blue-black, which is because it is rich in astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is very important for crayfish. The content of astaxanthin in the body is positively correlated with its ability to resist the harsh external environment. That is to say, the higher the content of astaxanthin in the body, the better its ability to resist the harsh external environment. powerful.

Therefore, crayfish living in a dirty environment are extraordinarily strong and rich in astaxanthin, which leads to people's illusion that the dirtier the water, the better the life of the crayfish.

In fact, this is not the case. Crayfish cannot produce astaxanthin by themselves. They mainly obtain it through the food chain—eating aquatic plants and microalgae, and then accumulate it in the body to produce super antioxidant capacity.

In this way, in some clean waters, it is difficult for crayfish to survive, because these places often lack microalgae containing astaxanthin, which is the cause of people's illusion.

These aquatic plants planted in ponds can provide astaxanthin. Therefore, the color of crayfish carapace looks very heavy, and they grow naturally strong.

The crayfish caught were big and small, and Qin's father threw the small ones back into the water. All that were left were big lobsters, more than 50 in total. Qin Shiou tried it, and it weighed seven or eight catties. The crayfish were very fat, and some of them weighed two taels.

Qin's father asked Qin Shiou to go back, and he took a few more cages and threw them into the water. Worked there.

Qin Shiou thought his parents would not know how to cook this, so he prepared to cook by himself. As a result, Qin's mother said that they had already gone to the town to find the chef who came back from the south and learned how to make crayfish, and she drove him out to accompany Wei Ni.

Qin's mother washed the crayfish, cut off the shrimp's whiskers, shrimp claws, and shrimp legs with scissors, and pulled off the shrimp's intestines. Remove the shrimp stomach and gills, and wash the rest carefully with a clean toothbrush under running water.

Qin Shiou likes spicy food, so he took a handful of dried chili peppers and cut them up. Qin's mother frowned and said, "Do you know that Wei Ni doesn't eat spicy food when she's pregnant? You say that a person like you,

How can Winnie fall in love with you? "

Qin Shiou said dissatisfied: "Is your son bad? Are you kidding me? At the beginning, there were forty or fifty super beauties who lined up to find me on a blind date. They were very popular."

Qin's mother curled her lips in disbelief, but Qin Shiou couldn't prove that it was actually true. Back then, the first batch of girls who went to Farewell Island for tourism all went for him.

Crayfish are really delicious when made spicy, but Qin's mother takes care of Wei Ni. Made beer crayfish and this one uses just a little chili.

Heat the oil, pour in peppercorns and dried chili peppers when they are seven to eight years old, and then stir-fry crayfish mixed with onion, ginger, and garlic. Add cooking wine and beer, and cook on low heat first, then high heat. Take it out and sprinkle with salt and chicken bouillon.

When Father Qin comes back, dinner can start. Qin's mother asked him if he was off the net, Qin's father said that he had put it all on, and he would just go and get it back tomorrow morning, Qin Shiou asked why, Qin's father and Qin's mother smiled and didn't say anything.

Although it wasn't the Mid-Autumn Festival, but because it was the first meal back home, the preparation of this meal was serious. Qin Shiou peeled a crayfish and was just about to eat it. After thinking about it, he put it on Wei Ni's plate first.

Qin's father and Qin's mother laughed, and Winnie whispered in English: "What a model and good husband, no wonder now Western girls are marrying Chinese boys."

Qin Shiou said helplessly: "Don't you think our Chinese-style husband is too tired?"

Weini shrugged and said, "Then how about I cooperate with you tonight? You can do whatever you want."

Qin Shiou was drinking beer, and almost choked when he heard this, so he quickly looked up at his family.

Fortunately, there is only one Xiaohui who can understand English, but this kid is attracted by the lobster, and he is sucking on the shrimp cover. Seeing Qin Shiou looking at him, he returned a silly smile of satisfaction.

Poseidon energy is indeed a treasure. The evolved crayfish meat is fatter, and the entire shell is almost full of snow-white tender meat, and the meat is very firm. After opening the shell, it can be pulled out completely.

Qin Shiou ate one, and the lobster meat was a bit crispy, and the gravy splashed out while chewing in his mouth. It was extremely delicious, mixed with a touch of spicy and beer fragrance, and it was even more delicious than Maine lobster.

In this way, crayfish became the most popular dish on the dining table. Several people fought and robbed, and all the crayfish weighing more than seven catties were eaten. Qin's father and Qin's mother watched them eat happily and laughed happily. .

After dinner, Weini helped Qin's mother clear the table, while Qin Shiou slipped out to chat with Qin Peng.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Qinjiazhai is a traditional small village, which attaches great importance to this kind of festival. Many young people who have worked outside have returned. Qin Peng also returned early not far away.

After spending the night leisurely, Qin Shiou got up early in the morning and went out to see that his parents were gone. After thinking about it, he knew that he was going to the fish pond, so he ran out of the village as a workout.

Sure enough, Qin's father and Qin's mother were busy in the fish pond. Several long nylon net shrimp traps were placed on the riverside, with buckets of lobsters in them.

Qin Shiou asked why, Qin's father smiled and said: "Today is August 15th, every household prepares food at night, and lobster is the most expensive at this time, your mother and I will fish some and sell them."

Qin Shiou wanted to help, Qin's father waved and said: "No, no, you can go back to stay with Wei Ni, this is not a job, your mother and I have almost cleaned up, and we are going back now."

Qin's father and Qin's mother can't simply fish up the lobsters, but also distinguish between male and female shrimps. When female shrimps are laying eggs, they can only sell male shrimps.

It is very simple to distinguish between male and female crayfish. Male lobsters have more developed claws than females because they need to fight and prey. There is a bright red film on the front outer edge of male lobsters, which is very conspicuous, but females do not have this thing.

Qin Shiou went up to help, threw most of the female shrimp back into the pond, and finally collected the shrimp into the incubator, put some aquatic plants in and sold them.

Crayfish have strong vitality, so living in an incubator with aquatic plants in this way, it is no problem to live for several days.

After collecting two boxes, Qin's father and Qin Shiou rode electric bikes to the town.

Although it was not a day for the market, there were many stalls selling vegetables and meat on the streets of the town. It was only in the morning that many people came out to buy things.

Qin Shiou wandered around, but no one was selling crayfish. In his hometown, few people breed this thing, and few people know how to do it, so it is a bit troublesome to sell it. (to be continued)
