Chapter 185: Could it be that the fish is starving to death
Chapter 185 Could it be that the fish starved to death
Chu Nanzhi agreed to Ma Laifu's request and wanted to take him to Haikang County together, but this guy was so happy that he went to cut off a deer leg himself, worked all afternoon in the dam, and roasted it when it was dark. A whole delicious deer leg.
The two brothers of the Ma family still lit bright torches at the entrance of the village. Ma Laifu lit a bonfire in the ground dam, and then the whole courtyard gathered around the bonfire to eat roasted venison.
Ma Liu also prepared a few catties of cooked beef, boiled a pot of delicious fish soup, and served Chu Nanzhi the first bowl of fish soup, and said happily: "I really don't know how to thank Mrs. Chu today." , performed an operation on my son, and had to bother Mrs. Chu to work hard for my younger sister’s family, so I asked Mrs. Chu to drink this bowl of fish soup to express my gratitude to my family.”
Chu Nanzhi took the fish soup and stared at the family by the campfire. It was the first time that they were so complete. Except for Ma Qingfu who was lying down and Sun Yanfang who was serving him, everyone else came.
She smiled warmly at Ma Liushi, and said bluntly: "Miss Liu, you are welcome, I also have my own selfishness."
As she said that, she looked around the crowd and explained in detail: "To be honest, Saburo and I came out this time to find some fish fry and wanted to raise pond fish in the fish pond at home. Haikang County is the closest to Luyan Port, so I thought I could get fish from Haikang County."
As the most famous fisherman in Haikang County, the Sun family can also get fish from the restaurant in the early stage of opening the restaurant.
In this way, the supply of goods will be fully guaranteed.
Ma Defu listened to her words and nodded while thinking: "If my brother-in-law can come out, with the group of fishermen he raises, he will be able to gather the fry that Mrs. Chu wants, which is the place between Haikang County and Luyan Port. Although the rooms appear to be close on the surface, it takes hundreds of miles to take the goods along the official road."
"No need to follow the official path."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the mountain shadows in the distance, and smiled and said: "Isn't the road under your feet, why bother to look far away."
"Ms. Chu meant to go to Longshan Mountain."
Ma Defu and his family showed some inconceivable expressions on their faces: "This Duanlong Mountain is not easy to walk. Not to mention the rugged mountain road, there are all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts in it, and you can only rely on manpower to enter the mountain, so you can't transport too much. Fish."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Besides, fish is a fresh thing, and I'm afraid it won't last for a few days without the water. It would take at least a whole day to go from Haikang County to Luyan Port. "
"The road is made by people. It may be a bit difficult to walk this Duanlong Mountain, but why not let the fishermen sell their fish at a good price."
Chu Nanzhi smiled like a flower, and she already had plans in her heart.
The most thorny issues in traveling to Duanlong Mountain are nothing more than two problems, the attack of wild animals in the mountain and how to ensure the freshness of fish.
As long as these two problems are solved, the delivery distance will actually be closer than Donghua River.
Donghua River is hundreds of miles away from Luyan Port. It is nothing more than official roads, which can be transported by ox carts. Even so, the survival rate of fish delivered each time is less than three floors.
Looking at the confused Ma family, Chu Nanzhi explained with a warm smile:
"It is indeed an effective way for fishermen in Haikang County to dry or marinate their fish, but if you want to sell them at a good price, they must be fresh. If you can go together, you can choose to pass them during the day. In Duanlong Mountain, the possibility of being attacked by ferocious beasts will be greatly reduced, and the people in Luyan Port should be the most prosperous in the nearby ten miles and eight counties, and the fish can be transported here, and the market will not be a problem."
Ma Laifu thought this was a good idea, and immediately agreed: "Actually, there are many ferocious birds and beasts in this mountain, and jackals are the ones who like to attack people. If Sister Zhi wants to transport goods from the mountain, I will come back to the mountain in the future, and my brothers Kill all the wolves in the mountains for Sister Zhi, and Sister Baozhi will have a smooth journey with everyone."
"Then I would like to thank you."
Chu Nanzhi smiled casually, and only listened to it as a joke.
Such a big mountain, how can it be killed cleanly.
Mr. Sun Liu listened to everyone's conversation. As a fisherman, he knew the truth most. Even if the wild beast attack in the mountains could be solved, it would be difficult for the fish to be sent to Luyan Port alive in a confined space for a day and a night.
Eyebrows raised and slowly looking at Chu Nanzhi, she said anxiously: "It's okay for a person to walk in the mountains for a day, but a bucket of fish squeezed together can't stand such a toss, if the live animals can be sold , then the people of our Haikang County don’t have to work so hard to make all the fish into dry goods.”
This is also the current situation faced by fishermen in Haikang County. Live animals cannot be sold at a good price in the county, but it is difficult to transport them for longer distances, so they can only be sold as dry goods.
"I can teach you a simple method."
Chu Nanzhi said: "In spring, before you go out, you can pick some clean and non-toxic green grass and put them in the water. In summer, it is best to use corn leaves. As for autumn and winter, you can break some willow branches or non-toxic and shade-tolerant evergreen leaves. .”
The continuous emphasis on non-toxic is afraid that people will randomly pick green plants and put them in the water, which will directly kill the fish.
Sun Liu frowned, a little puzzled and said: "Could it be because the distance is too far, the fish starved to death on the road?"
Poof.
Chu Nanzhi almost laughed out loud: "Miss, you can think so, but I think if you do this, the survival rate of fish may be greatly improved."
She couldn't tell everyone about photosynthesis, and she couldn't explain which type of plant has the strongest photosynthesis.
Oxygen supply is the most important thing for transporting goods, but there is no oxygen supply machine in this era, and the only way to maximize the transportation distance is to immerse the C4 plants with the strongest photosynthesis in water.
Everyone listened to what she said clearly and logically, and did not dare to refute. They all silently lowered their heads and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Chu Nanzhi knew in her heart that she might not be able to convince the public just by talking about it, and she was just sharing the methods she could think of with the reality. It didn't matter whether anyone was willing to try it, the important thing was that she had to use this method herself. Transport the fish from Haikang County to the dinner table in the own restaurant in Luyan Port.
In the future, the freshwater fish raised in its own fish pond will be supplied to the common people, and high-end ingredients such as seafood fish from Haikang County will be provided to the rich.
The breeze from the mountain came in gusts, swirling the flames of the bonfire and swaying from side to side, making crackling sounds from time to time. Although it was still summer, it was extremely cool.
Chu Nanzhi held a large piece of fat venison in her hand, and chewed it slowly. It was the first time she ate such a rare thing, and she felt extremely satisfied.
I have to say that this stinky boy Ma Laifu looks out of shape, but the grilled meat is indeed a must. If he set up a barbecue stall on the side of the road in his day, the business would definitely be booming.
Ma Laifu saw that she was eating with gusto, her mouth was full of oil, and she felt happier than eating it in her own mouth. With a deep smile on her face, she asked earnestly: "How is it, sister Zhi, how about the venison roasted by the younger brother?" Is it to your liking?"
"Well, it's pretty good."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and smiled.
The simple answer made the smile on Ma Laifu's face even brighter.
