How to eat pineapple buns on the immigration ship

Chapter 175: Childhood Hehua Fish
Fortunately, the entire grade was on a tour and there was a floating platform blocking the way, so Supervisor Lu had neither the time nor the opportunity to continue to pester them.

However, this does not prevent Chief Wu from looking at Kagawa with glowing eyes from time to time.

Being stared at with starry eyes in public by elders who might be dozens or even hundreds of years older than him, Kagawa could hardly hold back from shouting: This is not the pain that a teenager under the age of eighteen should endure!
Even if I’m almost 40 mentally, I can’t bear it!
I hope modern people can be more aware of their status as elders!
However, Kagawa's worry did not bother her for long, because she was immediately surrounded by her classmates.

"Kagawa, does the grass carp you mentioned have any other scientific name? Is it recorded in ancient documents that it was raised in rice fields?"

"Kagawa, are there any other aquatic organisms recorded in ancient documents that are suitable for breeding in rice fields? It would be best if they are edible."

"Kagawa..."

All the students in Class 8 of Grade 1 gathered together with shining eyes. Some of them even couldn't wait to open the recording program and voice transcription program on the terminal, waiting to dig out the latest recipes, oh no, the latest information on freshwater aquaculture.

The students in Class 8 of Grade 1 were "unfortunate" enough to often be the first to taste the new dishes in Kagawa's daily lunch box. From the grilled fish and steamed fish they learned during their initial field training to the tofu fish soup, fried fish fillets and fish meatballs that Kagawa later devised in his spare time, their horizons regarding edible aquatic life were greatly broadened. At the same time, they were all attracted by the delicious taste of cooked fish.

Now they heard that fish can be raised in the fields, which immediately aroused their curiosity and made them salivate.

After the live broadcast footage of the field training of freshmen of the Agricultural University Affiliated High School this year went viral, the freshwater fish that were once despised in previous years suddenly became the target of many food processing companies and food lovers.

There are many wild farmed freshwater fish in the nature reserve, and there are also some farmed fish on the six production escort ships for purposes such as making feed.

As soon as the video footage came out, these fish became a target of attention, but it was the Agriculture Bureau that acted faster than them.

After Xiangchuan finished his field training and returned home, the leader of the Agricultural Bureau visited the Xiang family mansion. When he left, several TB of documents were found in the leader's terminal.

Immediately, the Agriculture Bureau strictly controlled the circulation of freshwater fish, tried to retain the number of fry, and put them into the aquatic breeding farm that was quickly built for the production escort ship.

The breeding of freshwater fish has just started, so the prices of both live fish in the market and fish sold in Yuexiang Restaurant are not cheap because demand exceeds supply. A five-pound freshwater fish can be sold for as much as two thousand star coins, which is close to the price of seafood exported by the Fourth Fleet.

But even so, freshwater fish in the market are often in a state of having a high price but no demand.

People’s demand for seafood can be met by freshwater fish nearby, and the taste is so delicious, how can it not be popular!

Whenever they think about the fact that freshwater fish farming has just started and the price of freshwater fish in the market will take at least half a year to drop, they wish they could become millionaires so that they can eat fresh freshwater fish every day like the ancient people in the historical documents provided by Kagawa!
Kagawa looked at his classmates who were swallowing their saliva frantically, and wondered why all of his classmates have become gluttons?
All the students looked hungry, as if the Hehua fish was some kind of top-notch mysterious delicacy and they were starving.

They completely forgot that they had already filled their stomachs in the morning, and now it has only been about two hours since they finished breakfast.

These teenagers, who were tempted by the delicious food that they had only heard of but never seen, looked at the plump ears of rice in the fields with prey-like eyes from time to time, which made Kagawa's mouth twitch wildly.

In order to prevent his classmates from eating the unharvested rice out of hunger, Kagawa had to start talking about the Grass Carp.

The memories of Hehua fish are the taste of her childhood summer vacations.

During the summer harvest season, the grass carp in the fields are the most delicious. When I was a child, after lunch, Xiangqi often took Xiangchuan and Xiangxue to run to the fields, each carrying a small bamboo basket. The three of them jumped up and down in the fields to catch the fish that their parents had released during the spring sowing season.

Now that I think about it, there seemed to be some crucian carp and the like mixed in there, but how could they understand these when they were little?

The three of them worked in the fields under the scorching sun, weeding, catching insects and fishing. Their luck in fishing was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When they were lucky, Xiangqi's small bamboo basket would be half full of grass carp by dinner time.

The caught Hehua fish will naturally be served on the table.

Lin Minzhi’s cooking skills were average, but her grandmother, who was still alive at the time, was a great cook of delicious home-cooked meals.

Grandma has many different ways of cooking Hehua fish, from the most basic tofu fish soup and frying to braising and so on.

Children have a natural love for fried food, and the three siblings of the Xiang family are no exception. Grandma would reserve three or six fish from the catch, frying them until golden and crispy, and serve them as appetizers before meals.

The fried Hehua fish is tender and crispy, and dipped in salt it becomes a delicious snack that Wei Guo couldn't help but fight with his three children to eat after returning home.

Although Hehua fish is a variety of carp, it is smaller and has fewer bones than real carp. It is one of the small fish that Lin Minzhi and her grandmother can safely let their children eat.

Kagawa described the taste of the pan-fried grass carp and the grass carp braised with fried tofu in a very moving way. He was so engrossed in his description that he did not notice that there was a figure with shining eyes behind the students of Class 8 who surrounded him.

While Chief Steward Wu and the students from Class 8 around him were wiping the saliva from the corners of their mouths, they were writing furiously on the terminal document.

If you look closely, you can see that he is actually recording what Kagawa said.

He looked at the rice fields beneath his feet with burning eyes, as if he could imagine the beautiful sight of various small fish swimming in the fields in the future.

Although the aquaculture sector has been worried about the shortage of reserve personnel during this period, who cares!

As long as it is beneficial to the rice fields, he can even bring people from his own department to snatch people!

Just when Kagawa was talking until her mouth was dry, Ryokyou, who was standing on the same platform with her but remained silent, suddenly asked:
"Kagawa, what did you mean by 'good with rice' when you talked to Chief Wu just now?"

"That's exactly what it means." Kagawa blinked his eyes. "Some dishes with a stronger flavor are paired with fragrant rice. Sometimes I can even eat two bowls of one dish—"

"What is rice?" Ouyang Yating and Ino were also confused at this time.

Uh.

Kagawa was stuck. She realized she had let the cat out of the bag.
