After the experts had a full meal, they stayed in the VIP building. They were all very satisfied with the meal, and there was nothing too expensive. But the ingredients and drinks were all produced by ourselves, which was absolutely green and healthy.
And many of them are precious ingredients that are not available outside, and the taste is very good. The chef's level of cooking is very high.
In order to entertain the leaders and customers who came to inspect, Monkey specially asked Chef Du to introduce several good chefs in the industry to cook here.
When Chef Du heard this, he wondered how such a good deed could be made easier for outsiders. He had a large group of disciples and grandchildren.
The key is that they have ingredients that are not available outside, which is very important for some cuisines that cannot be passed down due to shortage of ingredients. They simply sent their close disciples with their apprentices, mainly because they have the opportunity to practice here.
When his three senior brothers heard about this, they also came to the door and scolded the fourth brother for being unreasonable. How could he eat alone when he had such a good thing? Besides, in many lineages, they also need to give their disciples opportunities to practice.
Chef Du had no choice but to find Monkey, and he brought in a dozen more people. Now, the chef of the VIP building became a star.
This also resulted in the food in the VIP building being highly praised by the guests. They all said that it was no worse than the best in the country. Monkey did not plan to expand its business here. The membership limit of the golf course and racecourse was no more than 1,000 people. A new racing track was also built.
, we also plan to have no more than 3,000 members.
Those who play horses are all top rich people. The horses here in Yang Fan are good. There are also many rich people from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East who come to order and foster horses. For a time, the members were Arab oil princes, Russian financial oligarchs, and European and American bankers.
.
Therefore, not many people know about this place. It mainly entertains leaders, experts, customers, etc. who come to inspect it. The rest are just social resources to be maintained.
The next day, they spent a day playing in the factory area. Before leaving, Monkey and Sun Xing personally put the veteran experts in the car. Each of them gave them a piece of ham made from the black pig they produced last year. Plus a box of self-produced wine.
After seeing off the experts, the monkey said to Sun Xing mysteriously: "Mr. Sun, I'm going on a long trip. I won't be in the factory during this period, and my phone may be turned off. If you have anything, wait until half a month to see me again.
.”
Sun Xing asked strangely: "Mr. Hou, why are you so mysterious?"
Huang Qiong also took the opportunity to act coquettishly and said: "Brother Monkey, are you hiding something from us?"
Several little girls also took the opportunity to act coquettishly and asked him what he was doing.
The monkey looked around and saw no one, and said: "It's nothing. Fanzi got some species on the Yangtze River that have been declared extinct. In fact, they are not extinct. We bought some from fishermen before. We secretly bred them, and now there are more of them."
, intends to put it back into the Yangtze River."
Lin Miao immediately asked warily: "Brother Monkey, what species is it?"
He knew that Yang Fan had a lot of things going on. This little Mr. Yang was usually invisible, but occasionally he showed up. When he made things happen, there were no small things.
The monkey glanced at her and said: "Fanzi is afraid of trouble and doesn't want the media to know, so it's best to put them in secretly. They are Yangtze white sturgeon, white dolphin, and Yangtze shad."
Lin Miao gasped and said in shock: "What did you say? Say it again."
Monkey glared at her dissatisfied and said, "What are you shouting for? You're afraid that no one will hear you."
"It's the Yangtze River paddlefish, the Baiji dolphin, and the Yangtze River anchovy."
Sun Xing and others had no idea what these animals meant. They were all as dumb as ducks listening to thunder. Only Lin Miao knew how precious these things were.
Paddlefish is a fish in the family Acipensidae. The body length is 2 to 3 meters, the weight is 200 to 300 kilograms, and the maximum length can reach 7.5 meters. The paddlefish is a large carnivorous fish that lives in the Yangtze River and is a native of China.
Unique fish.
The ancient Chinese white sturgeon is called tuna. It spawns in the Shuojiang River in spring. It is mainly produced in the trunk and tributaries of the Yangtze River in China from Yibin to the Yangtze River Estuary. It is also found in the Qiantang River and the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is a rare and precious animal special to China and is a national first-class wild animal.
Protected animals, it is known as the "Giant Panda in the Water".
According to news on January 2, 2020, the Yangtze River white sturgeon failed to enter 2020 and was declared extinct on December 23, 2019. On the evening of July 21, 2022, the World Conservation Union released a global species red catalog update report, announcing that the white sturgeon
Sturgeon became extinct.
It is thought that the dam blocked the Yangtze River paddlefish from migrating to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to spawn, leading to their extinction.
Any large-scale project has pros and cons, and there is no way around it. However, every species has evolved from nature for tens of millions of years, and it is heartbreaking to be extinct at our hands.
Lin Miao asked: "Monkey, how many fry are you going to release?"
Monkey said: "We have prepared 100,000 fry. These fry will be released in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then they will migrate to spawn when they grow up. Now the Yangtze River has been closed to fishing for two years. The aquatic environment is very friendly, and it is estimated that more than 5,000 fry will survive."
"
Ma Xiaoxiao asked: "Brother Monkey, how do they migrate to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to lay eggs when they become adults?"
The monkey said: "If these fry can survive successfully, when they grow to two meters in seven or eight years, they will migrate back to the upper reaches of Chongqing to lay eggs. At that time, they will gather in large numbers at the bottom of the dam and will be discovered. At that time
We don’t need to worry about it. Experts and the fishery administration department will find ways to help them go upstream."
The little girls all had stars in their eyes, which was really great. This work was so meaningful, and they were all clamoring to follow it.
The monkey was unable to beg, and said: "The release site is near Yangzhou, in a Linjiang compound we rent for a long time. If you want to see it, I will give you the time and place. You fly to Yangzhou, and then I will send a car.
I’ll pick you up. You don’t need to follow the transport truck, you don’t have to suffer that fate.”
Lin Miao immediately said: "Xingzi, let's arrange this activity for our team building in the first half of the year. How meaningful it is."
Sun Xing was also very tempted and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Hou, I have caused trouble for you."
The monkey smiled and said: "We are all brothers. If there is any trouble, don't worry. If any of the anchovies die this time, I will treat you to steamed anchovies."
Sun Xing and others didn’t know what anchovies were. Lin Miao gave them a popular science guide: “Anchovies are the most precious fish among the three delicacies of the Yangtze River. Premier Zhou once invited Puyi and his wife to dinner, and Puyi’s wife saw a steamed fish coming up.
I actually didn’t shave off the fish scales. I was a little hesitant for a while and didn’t dare to make a quick move.”
Seeing several people looking at her attentively, she continued: "Pu Yi introduced him that this is anchovy, which is eaten with fish scales. It is an extremely precious dish."
When everyone heard this, their mouths immediately dropped. That was Puyi. A man who had been an emperor had never tasted anything good. He was really knowledgeable.
Lin Miao said leisurely: "In the Tang Dynasty, anchovies were a tribute. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangtze River anchovies became a must-have dish at palace banquets. At that time, the supply was even insufficient. In 1998, the Yangtze River Basin finally
One shad was caught, and no trace of the shad has been found since. The fish was flown to the capital that day."
Huang Qiong said: "That's not right. I remembered that at my high school class reunion last year, at a high-end hotel, they had steamed anchovies."
Lin Miao touched her head and said: "Our efforts in artificial breeding of shad have never stopped. However, the rewilding ended in failure. Later, my country introduced American shad, whose genes are 99% similar to Chinese shad. %. Therefore, the shad we see in the market are not actually Yangtze River shad. Although they look similar, their meat quality is much worse than that of Yangtze River shad. They are not the same thing at all."
