567. The City of Freshwater Fish (3/5)

Bo's father asked him what he was talking about, and Wang Bo translated it for him, and then the old man was surprised: "Then is this a century-old store?"

Wang Bo said: "It may be 150 years old. This hotel appeared before the town. It was originally used to serve some fishermen fishing in the lake. Later, the town was built after more people gathered."

Bo Dad showed a thoughtful expression and said, "It's the same as the village in our hometown."

Wang Bo ordered a set meal for two people. Although it was a very historical restaurant, there were not many variety of dishes. After all, there were only so many customers and so many raw materials.

The set menu is a variety of fish, fried fish, fried fish, smoked fish, grilled fish and fish soup. It is paired with black bread. It is a food that tastes bad and is also a very cheap food. Almost no one eats it now.

Bo Dad took a bite of bread and frowned, "This thing is old and hard, so it's really not delicious."

Wang Bo smiled and teared him open it into the soup bowl. He waited until it was soaked in the fish soup before saying, "Come on, try it, this is how this bread is eaten."

He introduced to Bo Dad that black bread was cheap and was the first choice for fishermen around the lake, because most of the people who came to fish had no money or good boats, otherwise they would have gone to the sea to take risks.

It is hard to eat black crumbs, but if paired with fish soup, it will taste better after being soaked in a fragrant and fragrant fish soup, and the texture becomes softer. Some fishermen call it "fish-scented malt bread".

After hearing his introduction, Bo Daddy smiled and said, "This thing is a bit like the black-dough steamed buns in our country. You didn't eat it very much. When your mother and I were young, it would be a good life to eat black-dough steamed buns. It wouldn't be delicious, but if there was a bowl of meat soup soaked in steamed buns, oh, it would be really delicious."

In a sigh, the old man ate another bite of black bread. The latter might have felt the taste of Yi Ku Si Tian. He picked up the soup bowl and ate it hard. He ate two large pieces of black bread and drank a large bowl of milk fish soup.

Wang Bo was not interested in black bread and ate some fried fish. The fried fish here was a platter and various fish meat. He tasted the best when he ate tilapia. The fish meat was very soft and had a umami flavor.

The consumption in small places is low, and the set meals for two people are only 38 yuan in total. Wang Bo has to pay, and Bo Dad waved his hand domineeringly: "No, I'll do it! I've made a lot of money recently when selling vegetables. This meal is your father's!"

Wang Bo: "My father is so domineering!"

After the meal, the two went to the local fishing gear wholesale market. Freshwater fish farming has never been valued in New Zealand. The town not only makes money by selling fish and shrimps from Lake Aviemor, but also sells some fishing nets and gear.

When driving into the fishing gear wholesale market, Bo Dad said strangely: "Son, why are there not many people in this town? Didn't you say this is New Zealand's largest freshwater fishing catch trading center?"

Wang Bo explained the reason, and Bo's father asked worriedly: "Then are you still engaged in freshwater breeding? You don't have much money to make, so why do you do it?"

"We have no problem. I raise these fish not to fish and sell them, but to fish for everyone. Look at our lake so clear. If there are more fish to catch, more people will come to our town to play."

All shopping malls in the town, except supermarkets and convenience stores, are related to fishing gear sales. Even supermarkets also sell fishing gear such as fishing rods, baits, etc., so it is absolutely correct to say that this is a fishing city.

The town center has a New Zealand Freshwater Biology Museum jointly invested by the New Zealand government and the University of Auckland. It contains a boat, which is the first small boat launched in New Zealand to specialize in freshwater fish fishing in history.

Bo Dad said that this boat is a bit like a Chinese dragon boat. Wang Bo looked at the introduction and said that it was a Maori lake fishing boat, and its shape and design are indeed a bit similar to a dragon boat.

After a brief visit, Wang Bo was familiar with the overview of the town, so he went to a street for fishing gear, found the largest fishing gear market and walked in.

"What do you need to order, sir, fishing rod? fishing gear? fishing bait?" A middle-aged man in high spirits came over and asked. He had a strong smell of water and fishy smell on his body. Wang Bo used to smell a similar smell on his parents.

This middle-aged man obviously regarded him as a fishing tourist. Wang Bo and his father were indeed dressed casually, and yellow people usually travel to such towns.

The middle-aged man was very talkative. Before Wang Bo could speak, he continued to talk: "What fish do you want to catch? Oufruct? Roffia? Rainbow trout brown trout or big white fish? Trust me, you can pick all the things you need here for me, and even if you are going to hunt great white sharks in the Pacific, you can buy the most powerful harpoons here!"

Wang Bo shrugged, "But I am a member of the Shark Conservation Association. My purpose here is to buy some fishing gear. If the price is right, I need a two-kilometer-long double-layer fishing net, fifty F-sized shrimp cages, fifty crab cages of the same model. If there are other suitable ones, I can also choose them."

After hearing his words, the middle-aged man became more energetic. He looked at him and said, "Are you kidding me? Do you know what the total price of these things is?"

Wang Bo said: "I don't know, but I'm not kidding, so I need you to give me a reasonable price."

Double-layer fishing nets can be used to set up fishing grounds to keep fishing grounds inside to prevent them from escaping. A two-kilometer-long fishing net can be used to set up fishing grounds of about 50 hectares, which can feed more than one million fish fry.

The shrimp cage and crab cage of No. 1 F are about fifteen cubic meters. One shrimp cage can raise 100 white shrimps and twenty-five crayfish, while the other crab cage can raise about twenty freshwater crabs.

Wang Bo checked the price in advance, the double-layer fishing net is about ten to fifteen dollars per meter, and the shrimp cage of F number is between two hundred and three hundred dollars, and the crab cage is a little more expensive.

For fishing gear shops in small towns, this business is a serious big business, at least it is a big business than buying a fishing rod or a few hooks.

After hearing his words, the middle-aged man swallowed, and he stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Raymond, man, if you are serious, you have to go to my office to wait a while. Come on, let my wife cook a cup of black tea for you. You should drink black tea this season, right?"

Someone walked in and shouted, "Raymond, pick me up a bucket. Damn, my bucket fell into the lake and didn't float."

The middle-aged man said without looking back: "Sheldon, don't bother me if you don't want to go on a horse in this kind of life? I'm the boss, I want to host a big business, and your life is not suitable for me to take action."
