The reward Dai Zongxi brought surprised Ao Muyang: "Shake!"

"Aren't the shad extinct? At least it's functional extinct?" Ao Muyang asked subconsciously.

The saury is the first of the three fresh products of the Yangtze River. The wild saury is generally on the market at the same time as the Yangtze River Swordfish. Because of its delicious meat, it was listed as a royal tribute as early as the Ming Dynasty and is an important dish in the Manchu and Han banquet.

This fish is a migratory fish. It swims back to the river to lay eggs on time in April and May every year, and the migration route is very fixed. Their genetic memory is the Yangtze River, but since a large number of power stations and dams are built on the Yangtze River, the migration channels of the anchovies have been blocked.

In addition, there has been no breakthrough in the excessive fishing, changes in the ecological environment, and artificial reproduction. Due to this series of reasons, fewer and fewer fish have been famous since ancient times, and now it has become functionally extinct.

In 1988, the Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture listed Sanli as a national first-class wild protected fish. At the same time, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources will also list Chinese shads as an endangered species in the "China's Endangered Animal Protection Red Book", and shads ranked ninth after the Chinese sturgeon.

Of course, there are still some anchovies for sale on the market, but it is not the traditional Yangtze River anchovies, but imported American anchovies. Strictly speaking, it is a type of herring. However, because of its living habits, appearance and taste are somewhat similar to those of Yangtze River anchovies. Now it is regarded as an alternative product of anchovies, also called anchovies.

Dai Zongxi said: "What I got you is this American breed, the scientific name is American sprats, do you know?"

Ao Muyang's mouth twitched and said, "Of course I know, foreign devils' slaughter."

He heard that what he brought was American anchovies, so he was not so interested.

American sprats are also a very precious fish in China, but they are completely different from the Yangtze River Scare. If Dai Zongxi brings him a variety of Yangtze River Scare and the effect of gold drops, he will be confident that he will save this breed from an endangered situation.

The four-gilled perch that was painted in the double-layer lake in Wumanzhuang is now very lively. He occasionally releases a few drops of gold for them to eat. In addition, he planted the algae that the four-gilled perch likes in the lake. Now their population is very stable, and when the breeding period arrives, the number will definitely increase sharply.

Seeing his regretful look on his face, Dai Zong was upset: "What's your expression? Young man, you're quite greedy. I have the Yangtze River Anchovy, so you can support you? Have you eaten it for me?"

Speaking of this, he smashed his mouth again: "Spring bream, autumn carp, and summer three-width. Speaking of which, it is also a good season to eat Yangtze River chives, but unfortunately I can't eat them."

The three-wild fish is the name of the Yangtze River anchovies. Catching and cooking anchovies in summer is a very tasteful thing among ancient literati and scholars.

Ao Muyang's eyes lit up: "Daiju, do you have the Yangtze River Antler in your hand? Give it to me. I can support you, I will definitely not eat it. I will definitely support them."

Dai Zongxi reached out and drew a circle, saying, "How do you support me? Yangtze River anchovies are backwater fish. They need to have a river to let them lay eggs in fresh water and grow up in the sea water. How do you do it?"

Ao Muyang pointed to Ambergris and said, "Then I'll just dig a river to lead it into the sea?"

Dai Zongxi laughed and said, "It's interesting to chat with you, a young man, and it's very funny."

If Ao Muyang had the Yangtze River Eagle in his hand, he would still plan to send it to the Double Layer Lake for breeding. The Yangtze River Eagle had high environmental requirements and did not lay eggs in unfamiliar environments. However, if Jindou was added to help, he felt that he would definitely be able to revitalize the fish species.

He chased Dai Zongxi and asked for fish fry. Dai Zongxi was annoyed and said, "You should try to deal with these piranhas first. Just the piranhas fry, and the piranhas will be eaten by piranhas in your lake. Okay, catch piranhas first, and then I will send American piranhas to you. Be good, do it well."

Ao Muyang: “…”

Pork and pig blood, as well as chickens and ducks thrown into the lake, have indeed attracted many piranhas to appear.

The villagers stayed on the boat and waited for the rabbit. When they saw the piranha emerging, they immediately stuffed the discharge gun into the water. As long as they turned on the diesel generator, they would bang for dozens of seconds, and all the piranhas around would be electrocuted.

This move is quite effective. Piranhas are too sensitive to flesh and blood, while other fish are not sensitive and will not be attracted. This is targeted and has excellent results.

In half an morning and one afternoon, more than 200 piranhas of different sizes were caught. Unfortunately, they were electrocuted directly, otherwise they could make a profit by selling them to the ornamental fish market.

However, piranhas will not be wasted in this way. They are carnivorous fish. The fish tastes good and tastes similar to pomfret. The fish body is thicker than white pomfret and has more meat.

In the evening, the fished piranhas were divided into two groups, most of which were stored in the ice warehouse, and the fatty ones were sent to Ao Muyang's house. Tonight he invited the villagers to eat piranhas.

The piranhas you want to eat are relatively large, at least fifteen or sixteen centimeters, and a few are even twenty-five or six centimeters. Such fish can be sold for thousands of yuan in the market.

Without experience, Ao Muyang tried it first. He made a steamed piranha dish, marinated it with salt, mixed it with chopped green onion, garlic and sliced ​​ginger, and then steamed it. After steaming it, he tasted it.

The taste is pretty good. Although the taste is not as delicate as snapper and grouper, it is quite chewy. This fish is a serious wild fish with a very strong umami flavor.

In addition, he found that the fish skin of piranha is thick in color, which is suitable for pickled pepper fish skin.

If you make pickled pepper fish skins seriously, you have to use grass carp or green fish skins. The sir can peel them and cut them into small slices. Then add ginger, garlic, salt, cooking wine and pickled peppers to marinate them. You have to soak them in pickled vegetables water for about ten days.

Ao Muyang chose a quick method. He put the fish skin into pickled pepper juice and rubbed it repeatedly, then added seasonings and put it in a pot and steamed it slowly over low heat.

After a simple warming, stop. After a long time, the fish skin rots and loses its head, and the dish will lose its taste.

In traditional practice, grass carp skin and carp skin are thick but not heat-resistant, while piranha skin is much tougher and can be heated to invigorate the flavor.

When the heat dissipated, he immediately put the ice in and made it iced, and then he carried a piece of fish skin in his mouth.

It is crunchy and has a lot of strength, but the marinating time is too short and not very tasty.

After thinking about it, he changed to mix pickled peppers and then the taste was right. The gray-green fish skin mixed with yellow-green pickled peppers were brightly colored. They were fresh and spicy in their mouths, and saliva kept flowing, making people want to eat one piece and then the next one. The combination was great.

He also found that the piranha's belly meat was the most tender, so he chose some raw and made a fish. In order to avoid the harm of parasites, he frozen all the belly meat. Low temperature can effectively kill the parasite eggs on freshwater fish.
