Chapter 366 Finding the Taishan Red Scale Fish
Either convex or concave, moving or still, dragons and phoenixes dancing, ever-changing and all-encompassing, directly restoring the various landscapes of nature.
Zhou Yi and Yu Yang were obsessed with the wonderful patterns of various stones and couldn't extricate themselves.
Chen Hong sat by the water pool, while Zhou Yi and Yu Yang lowered their heads to look for strange rocks, walking farther and farther away.
He put his hand into the pond and released a handful of corn grits to see if he could attract the red-scaled fish.
To be honest, she was a little discouraged when she came here. She looked up from the downstream step by step. Her eyesight was so good, but she couldn't find even a red-scaled fish.
No wonder the government wants to protect the red-scaled fish. This small fish looks inconspicuous, but it is famous for playing the trumpet under the door.
Together with the anchovy in the Fuchun River, the yellow fish in Qinghai Lake, the oil fish and the bow fish in the Bohai Sea, it is also known as the five major tribute fish in my country.
In ancient times, when emperors came to Mount Tai to enshrine themselves, red-scaled fish was a must-have tribute dish in their royal meals.
Not only foreign tourists have been attracted by it for a long time, but when they come to Mount Tai, whether they stay in a large hotel or dine at a local farmhouse, if they have the opportunity, they must order the Taishan Red Scale Fish.
More than ten years ago, this kind of small fish was still very common in the creeks of Mount Tai.
Although the number is not too large and they do not appear in groups, as long as the water quality is clear and not polluted.
Traces of red-scaled fish can still be found in the crevices of rocks in the stream from time to time.
Red-scaled fish are delicate by nature and like clear mountain streams. They are intolerant to high temperatures and cold. If the water temperature is higher than 28 degrees and lower than 2 degrees, red-scaled fish will die. They have extremely high environmental requirements.
They are small fish. In the natural environment, the maximum length is no more than 20 centimeters. Their color is like platinum, some are red and black, their abdomens are white, and some have a slightly blue back.
The whole body is covered with fine scales, and the color of the body changes with the environment, either dark or light. It is sensitive to changes in sounds and moves quickly. When encountering external stimuli, it will quickly escape under the rocks in the mountain stream.
Even though this kind of fish is not easy to catch at all, it is not difficult for smart humans.
In particular, the local people, who have lived at the foot of Mount Tai for a long time, have long mastered the living habits of red-scale fish and designed a variety of fishing methods for red-scale fish, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of red-scale fish.
Chen Hong was still recalling the appearance of the red-scaled fish she had seen when she was a child. From the corner of her eye, she felt that there seemed to be a school of fish about the same size moving at the bottom of the pool.
Taishan Red Scale Fish! Taishan Red Scale Fish!
Chen Hong's heart suddenly moved, she retracted her thoughts and concentrated on observing the movement in the water, oops! It’s really a red-scaled fish!
There are quite a few red-scaled fish in this group, about thirty or so. It may be because they eat less in winter. This group of red-scaled fish has a slender body shape, tight belly, and is very thin.
Chen Hong didn't dare to move, lest she frighten them, causing them to disperse and not be able to lure them out again.
She controlled the space water and slowly flowed out from her palm. The space water is still very powerful. Originally, these red-scaled fish were attracted by the scent of corn grits spread by Chen Hong and were happily grabbing food.
Unable to withstand the huge temptation of the space water, they greedily devoured the bait while swimming, and gradually approached Chen Hong.
When they swallowed the space water, the energy contained in it made them even more crazy, and they quickly swam to Chen Hong's hand in the blink of an eye.
Chen Hong watched them nervously. Sitting by the pool, she didn't dare to move at all, and continued to release spatial water in her palms.
The school of red-scaled fish were tempted by the space water, relaxed their vigilance, and played freely around Chen Hong's hand.
The time has come!
With a thought in Chen Hong's mind, the red-scaled fish at hand was taken into half of the space by her. Looking at the seven or eight red-scaled fish that were frightened and fled in all directions, she smiled with satisfaction.
This result was exactly what she wanted. She took most of it and left a small half for Tan Shui.
It is hoped that after a year, the remaining red-scaled fish here will breed a new population and not be fished to extinction.
Chen Hong retracted her hand, took out a paper towel and wiped her hands clean, then sprinkled some corn grits and space water into the pond water.
She believed that after the transformation of space water, the red-scaled fish in this small pool would become more cunning and clever, able to easily avoid human fishing, and they would be able to successfully reproduce.
After Chen Hong had given enough blessings to these red-scaled fish, she stood up and left the pond, shouting to Zhou Yi and Yu Yang in the distance:
"Zhou Yi! Yu Yang! Come back for dinner!"
She found a flat Tarzan stone about three meters long and two meters wide, and took out the thermos bucket, thermos flask and convenient bag containing cooked fruits in her backpack and arranged them one by one.
"Hey!...Come right away!...Come...come!"
Zhou Yi and Yu Yang's replies came from the distance, followed by echoes from the valley.
Chen Hong smiled, the air here is so good! The valley is so quiet!
This is still the first month when all things wither. If in another month, everything in the valley revives, and golden winter jasmine, pink mountain peach blossoms, pink and white plum blossoms, and snow-white pear blossoms are in full bloom, it will be even more beautiful. landscape.
Chen Hong felt a little regretful. By then, Zhou Yi would have already returned to the team and would not be able to catch up with April Fangfei in the quiet valley of Mount Tai.
However, in such a cold season, there is still a holiday in Zhouyi, and the whole family can travel together, and the mother and son are very satisfied.
Seeing Zhou Yi grinning and looking for strange stones with Yu Yang, getting excited, Chen Hong smiled. She knew that Zhou Yi also enjoyed the happy time with them.
He cherishes every moment. Ever since they received their marriage certificate, Zhou Yi followed her step by step.
If she hadn't sternly refused, the man wouldn't have thought the smell was bad even when he went to the toilet, and would have waited at the door.
She couldn't understand it. The two of them had been together for a long time. Why hadn't she noticed that he was so clingy before?
Including this one, she has received the marriage certificate three times. She never knew that this thing has a special stickiness that can bind two people called husband and wife together.
Looking at Zhou Yi's relaxed smile, Chen Hong sighed inwardly. It seemed that the certificate was still an ordinary certificate. The difference was between the two people getting married.
Whether two people are in love or not is the key. Looking at the father and son walking towards her playfully, Chen Hong believes that they will be happy this time.
Zhou Yi took Yu Yang to wash his hands in the creek, sat down next to Chen Hong and started eating.
Chen Hong divided the rice balls between the two of them. The rice balls were put in the thermos bucket by Chen Hong and were still warm.
She stuffed the rice balls with shrimps, diced beef, shepherd's purse and minced green onion and ginger, and wrapped it with a layer of seaweed and seaweed. It was fresh, fragrant and very filling.
Yu Yang and Chen Hong ate two each, and Zhou Yi ate five. They also ate all the braised pork sausages they brought.
After drinking some hot water and basking in the warm sun at the bottom of the valley, Chen Hong felt a little drowsy.
During this period of time, she was seriously sleep deprived. After Zhou Yi recovered from his injury, it seemed that he wanted to make up for the half-month benefits he received from his injuries in a vengeful way, pestering her every night.
Watching her head move bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice, Zhou Yi and his son, who were cleaning the Taishan stone by the stream, were both amused by her.
"Yu Yang, your mother is tired, let's go back!" Zhou Yi gathered the strange stones they found and discussed with Yu Yang.
Yu Yang found three beautiful rocks in the morning, one with a tiger pattern, one with a landscape, and the one that surprised him the most was the pattern of the Tiananmen Gate Tower.
