Chapter 43: River Fish
"Woo woo..." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the Caucasian Xiaobai couldn't help but make two very depressing sounds, and then looked at Jiang Hai pitifully, but the green wolf mastiff Xiao Huang just glanced at Jiang Hai and turned around and left.
Seeing that Xiao Huang had left, Xiaobai was not stunned for a long time and turned around and left in one step.
"Boss, are your chicks for food or for raising them?" Robbins here also parked the car, walked out of the car, looked at the three cages in Jiang Hai's hand, and asked strangely.
In fact, if you hold such a big chicken in China, you will naturally be used for eating, but in the United States, about three pounds of chickens are just chickens for them. Ordinary white-feathered chickens, etc., can only be stopped by six or seven pounds.
Take the white-feathered broiler mentioned by Kaifeng Caitiantian as an example. When this chicken is twenty-four weeks, that is, when it is four months old, it weighs about five kilograms, and when it is six kilograms at the age of sixty-eight, it can reach six kilograms. This is just in China, the hybrid technology in the United States is so good and the yield is higher. Otherwise, why do you think the burgers they sell are so cheap?
So in their opinion, three-pound chickens are indeed not edible.
"Of course it's for food." But when he heard his words, Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face.
"But such a small chicken, okay, then boss, do you want to kill it now?" Although it was a bit difficult to do it, Jiang Hai said he wanted to kill it, so he was ready to take action. For these cowboys, killing chickens, slaughtering cattle, and sheep are all no problem.
"Now, uh, I'm not going to kill now." After thinking for a while, Jiang Hai thought about it, and it seemed that he was indeed not going to kill for the time being.
Originally, he had never thought about buying a chicken. If it weren't for what the old man said next to him, he wouldn't have wanted to buy it.
Now that I bought it, it is easy to pack it up, but he really doesn't know how to do it, uh, he really doesn't know much about it.
"Then let's raise it first. It's so small, there won't be much meat after being killed." Hearing Jiang Hai's words a little hesitant, Robbins thought that Jiang Hai also felt that the chicken was too small, so he smiled and said to Jiang Hai.
If he knew that this kind of chicken could only grow so big, he would probably have shocked his chin.
When he said he wanted to raise, he naturally had to make a chicken coop. Robbins was quite good at such a job. According to his words, he could make some wooden boards, lay them on the ground, make a small chicken coop, and then use wood to make a small house with fishing nets hanging on it. These chickens could not get out, and it was easy to catch them, and it was easy to feed them.
Speaking of wood, there is a forest nearby. Over the years, Robbins has also saved a lot. It’s no problem to build a chicken coop. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai couldn’t help but lit up. This was also a way.
"Hey, the horses you bought this time are really great. They are all adult Quarts. You should know that the maintenance of such a horse is much more expensive than buying a car. This is the only one who has the courage to buy six horses at once." At this moment, Philipmon walked over from a distance with a smile on his face. He had just driven the horses back to the horse shed with Burke. In the next few days, they not only had to take care of the cattle, but also the horses. These horses were all made of horses and had to be taken care of by foals. They only needed to adapt to them for a few days. Almost when the cattle were about to go out to grazing, these horses could come in handy.
"Of course, the boss is the most generous boss I have ever met." Robbins here also said when he heard Filimon's words. Although Jiang Hai knew that they were flattering him, it sounded very comfortable, right?
After all, before, he was the only time to flatter others. When did others flatter him?
"By the way, boss, my wife asked me what you want to eat later, whether it's fried steak, fried fish, or stewed beef, mutton, and the staple food is white bread?" Seeing Jiang Hai rushing the master, Filimon did not forget his real purpose, and asked Jiang Hai, but he must have heard of these foods, and Jiang Hai couldn't help but smack his lips.
Although he is not very disgusted with these foods now, he can't stand it anymore when eating them every day.
"Tell your wife that I want to change some flavor today, so I don't have to cook my dishes at night." After thinking for a while, foreigners don't understand the twists and turns of China, so Jiang Hai told the truth.
"Uh, boss, what do you want to eat? I'll go back and tell her." When Jiang Hai said he wanted to change his taste, Filimon was stunned for a moment.
"No, no, no, don't tell her that I will have a holiday today. You won't be able to cook what I want. It's my hometown dish." Jiang Hai shook his head. He didn't want Mrs. Philipmon to try those improved Chinese delicacies. He would rather study it yourself. Of course, he just made this meal to change the taste. Since he came here, he had to learn to adapt.
"Oh, that's the case, what should you use for your hometown cuisine? I'll find it for you." When Jiang Hai said he wanted to make his hometown cuisine, Philipmon here couldn't help laughing and said to Jiang Hai with an excited look on his face.
"No need, I want to make river fish, you won't eat them. Since you are here, let's help me make this chicken coop!" When he heard Jiang Hai say river fish, Robbins and Philipmon here couldn't help frowning, and then smiled awkwardly.
They have heard before that Chinese people like to eat river fish, but for them, river fish is indeed nothing good.
1. The thorns are outrageous. Americans who like to eat meat with big stutters are not used to such fish.
2. The river fish have some earthy smell. Some people eat fishy smell, but they are unwilling to eat earthy smell. This is how these people are, so they are very disgusted with the smell of these fish.
Of course there are three more. According to legend, the US imperialists had been developing and building decades ago, just like in China now, so the pollution of rivers and land was extremely serious. Later, after the US imperial government began to pay attention to these things, it began to gradually improve.
But the old people of that era still passed down the idea that the fish in the river were unclean.
He told his son, and his son told him that from the root, these people thought that the fish in the river were unclean.
So now the freshwater fish in the rivers are flooding like this. No one will eat these things.
Even if the government makes more reports and tells these people that there is no problem with these fish, they will still not eat them.
But I heard that these fish have begun to be caught on the west coast, and then dried and transported to China.
These wild fish in China are very popular, but dead fish cannot be sold at a price even if they are wild. This is inevitable. In fact, Jiang Hai seems to be very easy to solve. The US only needs to issue a batch of visa-free visas to China. In places where freshwater fish are affected, some small villas and the like are rented cheaply to those who come to China for tourism, and let them cook and fish freely. In less than a year, it is estimated that the fish in the Great Lakes are extinct. There is no need to mention the problem of Asian carp chaos, and you can also make extra money.
Of course, the problems between countries are not so easy to solve. If Jiang Hai's words worked, he wouldn't be bullshit here.
Although they were not interested in river fish, the two of them were very good at doing things. With Jiang Hai helping to hand over the wood, a simple small chicken coop was already set up in less than an hour. Then they covered the broken fishing net above. Even if it was done, Jiang Hai put the three chickens in the door and ran into the nest quickly and began to look at their new home curiously. However, the chickens' brains were always limited, and they began to walk outside for food.
As for Jiang Hai, he rode the empty all-terrain car and took his hand rod to leave the manor.
When it comes to sea fishing, Jiang Hai is not good, but if he talks about using a hand rod, he is still quite confident.
Boston, the largest city in New England, was also the main colonial city in Britain when the United States was first built. The reason why the British took a fancy to this place was mainly because of one reason, that is, the water conservancy here was extremely developed.
To the west is Massachusetts Bay, connected to the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is it next to the seaside on land, but freshwater resources are also extremely abundant.
Although there are only two rivers called Shangming, one is Charles River and the other is Chelsea River, even the Charles River is not big, with a total length of only 192 kilometers. You can finish it in more than an hour of driving. It is indeed not big.
There are many waterways here, all of which are freshwater waterways, but they are not named. There are even no signs on Google Maps. But if you really get here, you will find that this is indeed a Tamsui River!
At this time, the Danshui River in the United States was undergoing numerous tests. The biggest test was nothing more than the incident of Asian carp entering. In fact, the so-called Asian carp does not refer to the carp we often call. In addition to carp, there are also silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, black fish, etc., a series of fish species. In China, Jiang Hai would rather call these fish river fish.
When it comes to fishing for sea fish, he is not good at fishing for these fish, but when it comes to fishing for these fish, he is considered half an expert.
After all, in the rivers of China, people who can catch wild fish and get good harvests can also be imagined.
In the north of Jiang Hai Manor, if you walk, it will take about half an hour to walk. It takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle, and it is a Tamsui River. Jiang Hai once passed by here, and there are really a lot of fish there.
Jiang Hai has always had a lot of ideas about these fish, but when he heard that sea fishing was indeed much more interesting than the ones caught in the river. At least the fish caught can be expected. But thinking about his sea fishing skills and the dishes he would cook tonight, Jiang Hai put away his thoughts. As a boss, he can't always have no harvest, which is not possible.
