Chapter 744: Fishing in Troubled Waters

The pump was running, and the screeching sound was non-stop. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pumping started yesterday afternoon and has continued until now, and the water in the river is about to dry up.

Han Xuan listened to Mr. Tejo of the POE construction company, often mentioned Coney Island Playground, and thought of the construction direction of this company, how could he not know what Tejo was thinking, and said with a smile:

"It will take some time for the project to start construction, so let's get the project of Snow Mountain Ranch here first.

You can go and bid, and if the offer and engineering skills are good, I'll give you some of them. ”

Tejo was overjoyed when he heard this, all he wanted was an opportunity to participate.

The POE company is not small, but it is not enough compared to those giants, and without Han Xuan's nod and agreement, it is estimated that he will not even be able to touch the door of bidding.

With a smile on his face, he promised: "Don't worry, the paragliding take-off pad has been done now, and this renovation of the river will definitely satisfy you."

In addition to widening it to 12 meters, a total of nine steps will be constructed, with a drop of almost 7 meters from the upstream start to the downstream end.

The rafting is enough, and even if you don't paddle, the water will carry you downstream.

The blueprints are in my car, I'm going to get them to you?"

"Let's leave it there 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 as well, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted to the bodyguards a few meters away: "Go down to the river to catch fish, bring the tools over and help catch them!"

Jote's cheeks twitched, Han Xuan wanted to go down to the river to catch fish, he couldn't watch from the shore.

After looking at the exposed mud after pumping out the river water, he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, took off his suit and said, "I'm here to help you too!"

The temperature is in the twenties, and the river is not cold.

Han Xuan heard that the river was closed for pumping, and he planned to come over to catch fish today.

The things were quite well prepared, and with bamboo baskets and nets, they came to the upstream source of the blocked river and began to sweep downstream.

Barefoot in the muddy water that just reached his ankles, and the mud under his feet was soft.

Occasionally you can step on some stones, and the stones in this river have been washed by the water for hundreds of years, and they have long been smooth.

Sensing that something he stepped on this time, it didn't feel right, Han Xuan bent down and reached out to touch it underneath, picking up a big river mussel with a surface full of silt.

This river mussel is endemic to the United States, and pearls can occasionally be found in it, but most of them are defective and worthless.

I can't remember how many years I haven't eaten this kind of delicacy, and in the curious eyes of people, Han Xuan smiled and washed the river mussels and threw them into the bamboo basket beside him.

Gargunon asked him, "Little boss, what do you want mussels for?"

"Eat, cook, eat. ”

Han Xuan had never seen them eat this thing, and he was probably afraid of parasites.

Western food is rarely fully cooked, so eat with extra care, which is like Chinese food that is fried and stewed, destroying nutrients and killing parasites.

The bodyguard Owen tasted the duck soup that day, and now heard that the river mussels could also be eaten, so he hurriedly reached out and groped in the mud.

This thing has been breeding in the river for decades, there are no natural predators, there are many of them, and just a few meters away, I found a big one.

Owen threw it into the basket and said, "Catch more, let's have dinner and try it." ”

"It's really delicious to make a mussel soup, but I have to ask the chef to help me, I can't make ......."

As he spoke, Han Xuan saw something writhing in the muddy water, and the exposed head showed that it was a black fish, with a body length of more than half a meter.

Hurriedly stepped on the mud and ran over, held down the black fish, held it firmly with both hands, and raised the fish to laugh.

As the blackfish twisted its tail, it shook his face with muddy water: "Wow! I didn't know there would be a blackfish in the river!"

"It's also a harmful fish that can be caught occasionally, but in recent years it has become more abundant.

They are not as arrogant as carp and never surface, but like carp, they also like to eat small fish.

You be careful, its teeth are sharp. ”

After Old Barton finished speaking, Han Xuan looked at the open mouth of the black fish, and there were indeed some small sharp teeth inside.

After eating so much sauerkraut fish, he had never observed the raw materials of this sauerkraut fish carefully......

Jason shouted, "Why do you catch this fish, you want to eat it?"

"Otherwise?" Han Xuan asked rhetorically, "Look at my complexion, Chinese!"

Which one should not be eaten except for poisonous fish...... No, poisonous can also be eaten, such as pufferfish!

Seeing that the big fish are caught, the restaurant has to use it, it doesn't matter if there are more, find a lake to raise, and save yourself from catching again. ”

The crowd was speechless.

Ninety-nine percent of people in the United States do not eat freshwater fish, they are troublesome, do not like to pick spines, and prefer marine fish with fewer spines and more meat.

Freshwater fish are rarely seen in supermarkets and fish markets, and fishermen release fish when they catch them.

In the early thirties and forties, many waters were polluted, and the United States issued a law banning the consumption of freshwater fish.

In addition, there has been no famine in the United States, the mainland is surrounded by the sea on three sides, there are enough seafood resources, and the price is very cheap.

All kinds of reasons combined led to their dislike of eating freshwater fish, and the bodyguards thought that Han Xuan wanted to catch fish for fun, but they didn't guess that they were going to eat it again.

I can't help but think that the Chinese are really a race that stands at the top of the food chain......

Some small puddles are full of bighead carp, carp, grass carp, herring, silver carp, etc., and a few large bastards, which are up to one meter long.

You can pick up a fish after walking a few steps, and this is still a large number of people who have survived, which shows how much the Asian carp in the nearby river are flooded.

Han Xuan looked at the big bastard fish in front of him, who was not much shorter than him, and was stupid.

The fish was too easy to pick up, and I brought eight boxes over, and before I walked out of a hundred meters, I was filled with all kinds of fish and mussels.

Gonzalez went down to the river to join in the fun, and said, "It's all carp, and the other fish are barely visible."

I heard about a boy in Iowa who was swimming naked last summer and was bitten off by a black fish.

When did they breed so much? When I was a kid, there were no such kinds of fish in the river. ”

Old Barton's face was full of confusion, usually the fish were in the water, and their numbers could not be seen, but now that the water was dry, the hidden danger was exposed.

He said: "These Asian carp like to eat small fish, and other fish can't escape their pursuit at all, and it is estimated that there are more carp in Lake Rota."

It's a joke that conservation groups want the sturgeon to lay eggs here.

The government spent nearly $200 million last year to kill carp in the Great Lakes. ”

"What's so hard about this, make it into food and eat it. ”

Han Xuan's body was covered with mud, and his face and hair were also stained with a lot of muddy water, and he beckoned to Martinez, who was standing on the shore and watching, and said, "Find a few pickup trucks and pull 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 you have to pick them up, find some people to come and help pick them up together.

Guarding the baby and crying poor, I deserve to be rich......" (To be continued.) )
