How to eat pineapple buns on the immigration ship

Chapter 275 A Bite of China (Part 4)
Ouyang Yating noticed that Xiangchuan seemed to be in a bad mood, so she didn't ask any further questions.

The live stream then moved to the final fishing segment of the first episode.

When the comment section became active again after people saw that it was a fish, the comments section became lively again.

Since Kagawa solved the problem of the muddy taste of freshwater fish by using some processing methods and scallions and ginger, a small amount of fish has begun to be supplied to Yuexiang Restaurant in the market. Families with better conditions can eat fish every week, and even families with only the lowest income can eat fish once a month.

Therefore, modern people believe that they have nothing left to learn about edible fish.

Until a fish head larger than two palms appeared on the screen.

【Huh? A fish head?】

"Wait, were the fish this big before?"

[Do Chinese people only eat fish heads? Is their dietary habit really that strange?]

……

The enormous fish head in the picture is truly frightening to modern people. Fourthly, it's not just that traditional sea fish are large; historical records indicate that even larger sea fish existed in the past.

But these in the picture...aren't they freshwater fish? Can freshwater fish grow this big?
Xiangxue and Lin Ming looked at Xiangchuan almost simultaneously and asked the question.

"Given a suitable climate, sufficient nutrients, and the absence of natural predators, anything can grow to enormous size. Ancient humans were short and short-lived, but with the development of civilization, food and housing conditions improved, and by the 21st century—around this time..."

Kagawa pointed with his thumb to the footage from "A Bite of China".

"The average age can reach over seventy years old, and the height has also increased to about 1.6 or 1.7 meters. We are the same now. After going into space, there is material conversion technology to provide energy and improve the environment. Medical technology has been developed to prevent the development of diseases and epidemics. There are no natural disasters caused by terrain and climate. Life expectancy has also increased like bamboo shoots—suddenly reaching eight hundred years old."

Is this how onomatopoeia is used? Viewers both inside and outside the live stream were internally complaining.

However, her words caught the attention of the staff from the Agricultural Bureau and the Institute of History in front of the screen.

The biological data recorded in the Twelve Fleet Database is basically based on the Tianyuan Era standard. Therefore, the original appearance, ecology, and growth environment of the nature reserves, marine areas, and the organisms and poultry that produce escort ships in each fleet were lost to the long river of history during the Dark Virus crisis.

To ensure a stable supply of food, the agricultural bureaus of the Twelfth Fleet maintained a conservative approach to the ecological development of poultry, fearing that blindly pushing forward research would lead to the collapse of the existing ecosystem. This is one of the important reasons why the types of food have become increasingly homogenized over the past 20,000 years. Even the Third Fleet, which was known for its bold reforms in agriculture, needed to issue a draft plan and publicize it to the entire fleet, even for something as minor as making changes to pigs.

The documentary presented by Kagawa effectively fills the gaps in understanding these creatures' ecological environment and evolutionary direction. Moreover, the documentary and the live broadcast are being watched by the entire fleet. The combination of audio and visuals, along with unique ancient artistic expressions, combined with additional information from the Agriculture Bureau, will be sufficient for people who are not involved in agriculture to intuitively understand the Agriculture Bureau's future development direction.

As the leader of the Yuexiang Group, Xiang Weiguo naturally understood this immediately, and he took a deep look at the large screen in front of him.

The Agriculture Bureau and the Information Bureau are really cunning. By doing favors for the younger daughter and playing the victim for the older daughter, they were able to successfully obtain this top-notch documentary about the ancient great power described by the older daughter. This means that the two departments gained fame at zero cost, while the History Research Institute and the Culture Bureau also benefited greatly.

If this documentary were handed over to his own group for operation, Xiang Weiguo believed he would be able to get all the stores and agricultural product brands of the Third Fleet to bear the name of Yuexiang.

Water overflows when it's full. Xiang Weiguo recalled this old saying that his eldest daughter had been repeating recently when he wanted the group to participate in the development of other major categories of agricultural products.

Xiang Weiguo understood the logic. After all, aside from the exchange period between fleets, each fleet would operate independently for a long time to come. If Yuexiang Group became dominant, even with the current government, the viewers of Xiangxue's live stream, and Xiangchuan's information overload records suppressing the protests, a backlash was inevitable. Therefore, no matter how unwilling Xiang Weiguo was, he could only let Xiangchuan distribute the resources he had to the various large and small enterprises and noble groups in the Third Fleet through the Agricultural Bureau, diverting the envy and resentment of other competitors towards Yuexiang Group and allowing them to share the spoils alongside the government.

Now he only hopes that the bean seedlings in the fields contracted by his group will grow up quickly. Once the production lines for soy sauce and other by-products are completed, Xiang Weiguo's sense of imbalance will probably disappear with the influx of money.

The three siblings in the live broadcast room had no idea what their father was worrying about; they were all focused on watching the old man sitting on a sled, preparing to break the ice to catch fish.

Yes, Xiangqi is here too. He's usually quite busy, and even after meals he often sneaks back to his room. During the start of the semester, he'll occasionally come to the live stream room to chat with people. When he's so busy during finals that he doesn't even have time to rest, he doesn't even go home, let alone watch the live stream.

When he was bored, he would sometimes watch the TV series that Kagawa brought out. Compared to "Empresses in the Palace", he preferred the humorous "My Own Swordsman". The newly premiered "Prison Break" hit his sweet spot, making him even hesitate about whether to adjust his work plan for the evening and go to his younger sister's live stream to watch the show.

Xiangqi, as the student council president of the Agricultural University, heard about the news of "A Bite of China" as soon as it was released. However, since it was a documentary, he expected it to be some rather dry and boring content and did not have high expectations for it. Until now, he had just been watching the live broadcast with other viewers in his room.

After watching the part about bamboo shoots, he couldn't sit still any longer. He rushed downstairs to the live broadcast room, where all three sofas were full. So he simply asked Da Xing to bring a floating back chair and sit next to Xiao Mei, and continued watching with great interest.

People can never escape the law of "it smells so good!"

It has to be said that the video equipment in the live streaming room is really good. Xiangqi is very glad that her younger sister begged her father to buy the top-of-the-line configuration available at the time. The built-in restoration function of the equipment allows everyone in the live streaming room to enjoy a lossless audio-visual experience immediately. They even have the illusion that when they see the steaming hot fish head stew with flatbread, they can smell the delicious aroma.

When the fishing team pulled up the cage in the video, and a whole long cage of large fish piled up on the ice, the live stream chat was flooded with the most "Wow!" comments of the night.

Kagawa chewed on a slice of toasted mantou dipped in ketchup, thinking to himself: This fish is really fat. It would be delicious to stew it with tomatoes and tofu skin.

When the final whole fish feast was served, everyone in and outside the live stream felt like they couldn't see enough of it.

So many fish! So many ways to cook them! Wow!

Countless viewers swallowed hard, for what seemed like the umpteenth time tonight, and opened the Yuexiang Restaurant delivery app, which they had saved but never used. They thought to themselves, "Since I can't have all those fish feasts and fish head stews, I have to at least have a steamed fish meal."

When they opened the food delivery page, the steamed fish and fish soup, which were only available on weekends, were already sold out. Undeterred, they opened branches in other neighborhoods, thinking that it wouldn't hurt to pay more for delivery. However, after ordering from branches in the entire residential area and even the commercial area, they still couldn't find a single Yuexiang Restaurant that served steamed fish and fish soup.

Some people were so angry that they posted complaints about the problem on social media, and soon received replies from other diners.

[It's just that you ordered a bit late. This afternoon after get off work, I ordered a whole chicken soup to take home for my wife and daughter. At that time, the restaurant still had steamed fish and fish soup. I just watched the video of fish head stew with flatbread and got a craving, so I wanted to order fish soup too, but it was all sold out. You guys are so quick!]

Fish soup is expensive, and I usually don't dare to order it. But today, watching the live stream, I got a craving and wanted to order some. I hesitated for half a minute on the payment page before confirming, and in that half minute, the fish soup that the store had just shown as having plenty of stock suddenly became sold out. How could you people do this? Waaaaah...

[Haha, I ordered it! After watching the matsutake mushroom part at the beginning, I wanted to buy a chicken soup with mushrooms, but none of the chicken soups today had mushrooms, so I was about to give up. But when I saw the fish head stew with flatbread, I decisively changed the chicken soup in my order to steamed fish. After placing the order and refreshing the page, I saw that the steamed fish was already sold out. What a relief! It really is true that if you're slow, you'll miss out.]

……

Similar comments appeared in various comment sections complaining about not being able to buy steamed fish and fish soup.

Some people were willing to compromise and eat chicken or beef instead of fish, but they found that the meat and vegetables that were originally plentiful on the food delivery page were either sold out or only available in small quantities. These hungry people quickly chose one that looked good and placed an order, afraid that if they hesitated for even a second longer, they would miss out on even a pepper steak.

At this moment, Xiang Weiguo in the live broadcast room also received a report from the head of the restaurant. He took a deep breath as he watched the first episode of "A Bite of China," which had already begun to focus on deep-sea fishing.

Ancient documentaries are terrifying.
