Chapter 109 Luxury is Fist
In fact, Li Sheng thought about manipulating the fish to run into the net pocket by themselves, but after he tried it, he found that the energy field could not get their response at all.And his control over water is much weaker than in space.Outside the space, he can only increase the flow speed of the water by more than one meter, which is too slow.If it is fixed in the water forcibly, the fish may be dead when it comes up, and the meat is usually bitter, because the fish gallbladder is scared and broken.

So he can only use the ancient method of shooting with a bow and arrow.

Ali also sat down at this point as the boat moved, and interjected, "I think ether [ether] or something could be used."

Li Sheng was stunned, he really never thought about using anesthetics.But ether seems to be poisonous: "Prince, are you sure?"

Ali shook his head with a smile and said, "I just think that makes more sense. We want to catch sturgeon for their eggs, and I don't think ether [ether] will affect the eggs in a short time. Regardless of how the fish are killed , will eventually struggle, and the secretion of kidney hormones will be accelerated. That is the root cause of affecting the quality of caviar."

Li Sheng thought it made sense.But he didn't prepare that thing, so he had to say, "I'll try it next time."

The boat was very fast under the propulsion of the motor, and soon caught up with the black-faced god who was swimming fast.

The black-faced god didn't make any changes because of the approach of the ship, but still swung his powerful tail and moved forward at a constant speed.But when the boat goes over it, it dives into the water.

Li Sheng sensed that its speed could not keep up with the boat, so he asked the workers to slow down the speed.

The three of them were bored waiting on the boat, so Fernando said, "Li, how old is the sturgeon you raise?" His question was very important.There are only several kinds of sturgeons recognized internationally.The roe of each species of sturgeon that has a specified age is recognized as caviar.

Li Sheng really didn't know how old those sturgeons were.He learned to judge by measure.That fish is one of the largest fish in the lake of space, there are no predators at all, and there are quite a lot of them.Of course, it is also due to the fact that there are so many fish in the lake, so that they will not worry about food shortage.

But for the time being, he selects the biggest ones and releases them for raising.

He thought for a while before saying: "I'm not sure, because I don't know how to identify fish. I just counted the scale rings of a few fish. The older ones are about a hundred years old, and the younger ones should be more than [-] years old." sixty."

The sturgeon doesn't lay eggs every year, he only picks out the ones that obviously don't have many eggs in their stomachs.These have been raised in the small lake of the farm for more than a year, and the eggs in their stomachs should be mature.

Of course, all the sturgeons that were taken out were females, and he didn't catch any males.He will not let most of the male sturgeons in it find no wives. There are only a thousand or a few hundred in these small lakes.This number is less than three-half of the number in that lake in space.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if Li Sheng is not sure about the age of the sturgeon, because international luxury consumers do not recognize that the eggs of this fish can be made into caviar.Age doesn't matter.

Ali stretched out his hand and paddled in the water for a while, and said, "The water quality is very good. There is no industrial pollution, and there is even no agricultural and domestic pollution."

For him, as long as he has the highest quality caviar, he can eat it.And Li Sheng said that there are sturgeons that can produce caviar in Silent Farm, but he didn't pay much attention.However, the water quality of this small lake is excellent, which still made him look forward to it a little bit more.

You know, the Caspian Sea is the main producing area of ​​wild sturgeon, which is considered to be used for making caviar.The Caspian Sea is said to have excellent water quality, but there is a Volga River that passes through many important cities and agricultural areas in Russia, bringing all the wastewater from these cities and pesticide residues in the river basin to the Caspian Sea.There are many oil explorations around the Caspian Sea.Most importantly, it is an inland lake.All kinds of pollution have accumulated for hundreds of years, and some people insist on saying how good the quality of the Caspian Sea is, whoever believes it.

As for the small lakes in Silent Farm, there is no surface water injection, but there is a creek-level outlet, which shows that there is groundwater replenishment.The surrounding area is all pastures and there are no factories.The only source of pollution may be the air.As long as the water quality in such waters is not deteriorated by geological and biological reasons, it is difficult to think about the water quality here.

Where the water quality is good, the quality of the fish is good. This is an equation that basically holds true everywhere.If, as Li Sheng said, those fish can grow to be five meters long, the diameter of the fish eggs should exceed that of ordinary sturgeon eggs.As for the taste, you have to try it to know.

Fernando also has high expectations for this.He has tasted a lot of things produced by Silent Farm, and they have basically exceeded his expectations. If the caviar is the same this time, then he will have an extra golden brick to open up the European high-end ingredients market.It is just a freshwater farmed sturgeon, whether the market can accept it is still a question.

He was about to say something, but he saw Li Sheng stood up, took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring: "Is there any fish?"

Li Sheng stared at the water, nodded and said, "I feel a big fish coming up."

Before he finished speaking, a big fish showed its back on the water.Although the whole fish cannot be seen from a distance of tens of meters, the dorsal fin more than one meter long above the water shows that the fish is not small.Looking at the brown scales, Li Sheng knew that it was their goal today.

The bow in his hand was fully drawn, and an arrow was shot out with a "swish", and the arrows sank into the water almost at the same time.And the fish also threw a ball of water and then sank into the water.

"Shot?" Because it was too fast, Fernando didn't see clearly whether the arrow hit the fish.

However, Li Sheng could sense that an arrow was stuck in the fish's head, and it only struggled a few times in the water and stopped moving.The arrow was shot very accurately, perhaps hitting its not-so-big brain, and killing it with one blow.

He nodded and said, "Shot." He turned to the worker who was driving the boat. "We drove slowly."

The boat was only more than 20 meters away, and a fish surfaced on the water.Sure enough, he was dead.

When the boat approached the sturgeon, Li Sheng asked Fernando and Ali to sit down.Leaning out from the side of the boat, he clasped the gills of the fish with both hands, and dragged it onto the boat with all his strength.But this fish was too big, he only dragged half of the fish up, most of it was still soaking in the water.

Fernando and Ali were surprised to see such a big fish.Although it is said that the largest sturgeon can grow up to six meters, it is rare to catch such a large one.They quickly avoided and let Li Sheng drag the whole fish onto the boat.

Ali finally saw how big the fish was.Two-thirds of the boat can accommodate it.The spindle-shaped body may have been seven or eighty centimeters wide, which made the boat somewhat narrow.

Looking at the scales on its body, it was hard for him to imagine how old such an ancient living fossil must have grown to be so big.Maybe it's not much younger than the combined age of the three of them.

Of course Fernando also saw the fish in its entirety, and this gave him even more confidence: "Lee, I can't wait to taste its roe."

It didn't take much time to catch such a fish this time, and Li Sheng was also very satisfied.He smiled and told the workers who were sailing the boat to return.And called someone to help.

Back to the shore, several workers are already waiting on the shore.They loaded the big fish, which weighed at least three hundred catties, onto the pickup truck and piled some ice next to it.

Li Sheng drove back to his villa in the hilly area as fast as he could.

It's not that he doesn't want to deal with it directly in the wooden villas in the plains, but that conditions don't allow it.

The production of caviar requires too many steps of manual operation.That requires an environment that is as clean as possible.There is no log house villa, but yesterday he had already made corresponding preparations in the villa in the hilly area and disinfected the kitchen.Also prepare some containers.

So they had to rush back to process the fish.

Li Sheng learned how to make caviar from watching videos.One of the most critical is to put salt and time.

Because it is farmed in fresh water, he chose 3.5% salt, and his hands and feet are fast enough to complete all steps in less than 15 minutes.The roe from this sturgeon weighed more than [-] catties, and the stainless steel box he bought was almost full.

He is a novice in the step of packaging, so he can only pack more to make the inside fully compacted.And the matter of squeezing was done by Fernando.The purpose of this step is to squeeze out excess grease and salt.After packaging, it needs to be sterilized under ultraviolet light, and then sealed.

Caviar is not ready to use.After finishing, the three of them came to the living room, and Li Sheng made tea.

The three sat down, and Fernando put his hands under his nose to smell it, shook his head and said, "Although there are disposable gloves, the smell is still there."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Maybe this taste will make you feel that the caviar made is more delicious."

Fernando smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it now. I've eaten a lot of caviar, but I never knew it was made in this way. You are sure that your method is correct. The quality of those caviar looks good, but don't wasted."

Ali, of course, had caviar.In fact, the caviar produced in Iran is said to be the best in the world, and part of it is used to supply them, the wealthy Middle East.He also said: "The diameter of these fish roes should be more than 6 centimeters. And they are also copper-colored. I have never seen it."

Six millimeters means six millimeters, while the eggs of common sturgeon are usually about five millimeters in diameter.And the color never came out coppery.That's why he said that.

Seeing that their cups were empty, Li Sheng poured them another cup and said, "This kind of fish is already big."

"I think we need to find a professional technician to make the most authentic caviar. Only in that way can we evaluate the quality of this kind of fish caviar." Fernando thought for a while, and felt that he still couldn't trust Li Sheng's craftsmanship.I dare not make the result this time, and it cannot be used as the basis for evaluation.

Li Sheng shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course, if you help find one." He has this self-knowledge.

Fernando snapped his fingers and said, "The package is for me." The caviar can only be freshly taken out, and the production should be completed within the specified time.So the people he was looking for could only come to Silent Farm to operate.Of course, if he really wants to do this business in the future, he can build a small factory near the farm.Silent Farm can deliver Sturgeon in a short amount of time.

But this matter, they all know that they can stop here for the time being, and there is no point in talking about it any further.

"You say, how about we cooperate to set up an export company mainly engaged in the export of Silent Farm products?" Ali, who had been listening to them quietly, said suddenly.

　Even diethyl [ether] is a sensitive word... It's too late.
