Chapter 185 Could it be that the fish starved 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 with him, but the guy was so happy that he went to cut off a deer leg himself, worked in the dam all afternoon, and baked it until dark.
Had a whole fragrant deer leg.
The two brothers of the Ma family still lit bright torches at the entrance of the village. Malaifu lit a bonfire in the diba, and then everyone in the courtyard gathered around the bonfire to eat roasted venison.
Ma Liu also prepared several kilograms of cooked beef, cooked a pot of delicious fish soup, and took the lead in serving a bowl of fish soup for Chu Nanzhi. She said happily: "Today, I really don't know how to thank Madam Chu.
, I performed an operation for my son, and I have to trouble Madam Chu to run around and work for my little sister’s family. It’s really hard, so I’ll ask Madam Chu to drink this bowl of fish soup to show my family’s gratitude.”
Chu Nanzhi took the fish soup and stared at the family beside the bonfire. It was the first time he saw such a complete family. Except for Ma Qingfu who was lying down and Sun Yanfang who was waiting for him, everyone else was here.
She smiled warmly at Mrs. Ma Liu and said bluntly: "Ms. Liu, you don't have to be polite. I also have my own selfish motives."
As she said that, she looked around at everyone and explained in detail: "To be honest, Sanlang 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 could also get their fish from here in the early days of opening the restaurant.
In this way, the supply of goods will be fully guaranteed.
Ma Defu nodded while thinking as he listened to her words: "If my brother-in-law can come out, with the group of fishermen under him, he will be able to gather the fry that Madam Chu wants, which is between Haikang County and Luyan Port.
Although the two places appear to be close on the surface, it would take hundreds of miles to take the goods through the official road."
"No need to go through official channels."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the mountains in the distance and said with a smile: "If the road is right at your feet, why bother to seek the distance from the near."
"Mrs. Chu is talking about walking to Duanlong Mountain."
Ma Defu and his family had a look of disbelief on their faces: "It's not easy to walk on Duanlong Mountain. Not to mention the rugged mountain roads, there are all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts inside. Moreover, you can only rely on manpower to get into the mountain, so you can't transport much."
Fish products."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Furthermore, fish are living things. If they leave the water, they may not be able to survive for a few days. It will take at least a whole day to walk from Haikang County to Luyan Port.
"
"The roads are all made by people. It may be a bit difficult to walk through Duanlong Mountain, but why not do it if it allows the fishermen to sell their fish at a good price."
Chu Nanzhi's face was as bright as a smile, and she already had a plan in mind.
The two most difficult problems on the Duanlong Mountain are the attacks of wild beasts in the mountain and how to keep the fish alive.
As long as these two problems are solved, the distance to get goods is actually closer than the Donghua River.
Donghua River is hundreds of miles away from Luyan Port. It is only connected by an official road and can be transported by oxcart. Even so, the survival rate of each fish transported is less than three levels.
Looking at the confused Ma family members, Chu Nan Zhiwen explained with a smile:
"The fishermen in Haikang County dry or pickle the fish. This is indeed an effective method, but if you want to sell it at a good price, it must be fresh. If you can go together, choose to pass by during the day.
In Duanlong Mountain, the possibility of being attacked by ferocious beasts is greatly reduced. The people of Luyan Port are the most prosperous and wealthy in the nearby ten miles and eight counties. If you can transport fish here, sales 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 the only ones that like to attack people are jackals. If Sister Zhi wants to transport goods from the mountain, I will go back to the mountain to meet my brothers.
Kill all the wolves in the mountains for Sister Zhi, so that Sister Zhi and everyone can travel smoothly."
"Then I'll thank you very much."
Chu Nanzhi smiled casually and just took it as a joke.
How can one kill such a big mountain cleanly?
Mrs. Sun Liu was listening to everyone's conversation. As a fisherman, she knew the truth best. Even if the attack by wild beasts in the mountains could be solved, it would be difficult for the fish to be sent alive to Luyan Port in a confined space all day and night.
She raised her eyebrows and slowly looked 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 packed together can't withstand such a torment. If you can sell the live animals,
, then the people of Haikang County don’t have to work hard to make all the fish into dry goods.”
This is also the current situation faced by fishermen throughout Haikang County. Live animals cannot be sold at a good price within the county, but it is difficult to transport them longer distances, so they can only be sold as dry goods at low prices.
"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 it in the water. In summer, corn leaves are best. In autumn and winter, you can break some willow branches or non-toxic and shade-tolerant evergreen leaves.
."
If we continue to emphasize that it is non-toxic, we are afraid that people will randomly pick green plants and put them into the water, which will directly kill the fish.
Mrs. Sun Liu frowned and asked with some confusion: "Is it because the distance is too far and the fish starved to death on the road?"
puff.
Chu Nanzhi almost laughed out loud: "Madam, you can think so, but I think if you do this, the survival rate of the fish can be greatly improved."
She couldn't tell everyone about photosynthesis, and she couldn't explain which type of plants had the strongest photosynthesis.
The most important thing when transporting goods is oxygen supply, but in this era there is no oxygen supply machine. Only C4 plants with the strongest photosynthesis can be immersed in water to maximize the transportation distance.
Everyone heard what she said so eloquently and did not dare to refute. They all lowered their heads in silence and began to eat big mouthfuls of food.
Chu Nanzhi knew that it would be difficult to convince people just by talking about it. She was just sharing the methods she could think of based on reality. It didn't matter whether anyone was willing to try it. What was important was that she would use this method herself.
Transport the fish from Haikang County to the dining table of your own restaurant in Luyan Port.
In the future, freshwater fish raised in one's own fish ponds will be supplied to the common people, and high-end ingredients such as seafood fish from Haikang County will be available to wealthy households. With such a rich variety, there will be no need to worry about being unable to compete with the Qi family.
The breeze from the mountains blew in waves, swaying the bonfire flames from side to side, making crackling sounds from time to time. Although it was still summer, it was unusually cool.
Chu Nanzhi held a large piece of plump venison in her hand and chewed it slowly. It was the first time she had eaten such a rare thing, and she felt extremely satisfied.
It has to be said that this brat Ma Laifu doesn't look like a decent guy, but his grilled meat is indeed excellent. If he had set up a barbecue stall on the roadside in his time, the business would have been booming.
Ma Laifu saw that she was eating with gusto, her mouth was full of oil, and she felt happier than eating it in his own mouth. With a thick smile on her face, she asked earnestly: "How is it, Sister Zhi, the venison roasted by my brother is delicious."
Is it still to your liking?"
"Well, it's pretty good."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and said with a smile.
The few simple words he answered made the smile on Malaifu's face even brighter.
