My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes again, pretending he didn't hear Gao Chuang's words.

"What should we do with these dragons? Just pour the soup on them and serve them on the table?" Xiang Yang asked.

Gao Chuang shook his head, "It looks like you don't eat rice field eels often."

"That's impossible. I grew up by the sea. There are a lot of moray eels by the sea, and they can't be sold for a price. When I was young, moray eels were what I ate the most." Xiang Yang shook his head immediately.

"Then you can see that he has never cooked." Gao Chuang said firmly.

Xiang Yang asked suspiciously: "Why, is there anything else to say about this moray eel blood?"

Gao Chuang nodded and said: "When dealing with moray eels, the most important thing is to clean up the blood, because the blood of moray eels contains toxins, if accidentally eaten into the stomach, it will damage the health of the oral cavity and digestive organs. Situation In severe cases, food poisoning, nerve paralysis, and numbness and weakness of hands and feet will occur."

Xiang Yang was surprised when he heard the words, "How is it possible? I have eaten moray eels since I was a child, and I have never been poisoned. I also learned about eels when I was in school. I have never heard of this, on the contrary. I heard eel blood is very nutritious."

Xiang Yang was sure that eel blood would never be poisonous.

Otherwise, there would never be such a famous dish of extravagance as Zilong in history.

"It's true that eel blood is poisonous, but it's normal if you don't know it, because the toxin contained in eel blood cannot survive in a high temperature environment, so just make sure that the eel blood is fully cooked." Gao Chuang said .

Xiang Yang immediately shook his head, "No, if eel blood is poisonous, why didn't it be written in the textbook?"

Gao Chuang shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe the person who wrote the textbook thought it was unnecessary. I've seen a lot of people who eat sashimi and drink raw fish blood. I've traveled all over the world for decades, but I haven't seen a single one."

"Uh." Xiang Yang blinked his eyes, this reason seems to be reasonable.

"These sub-dragons are actually poisonous just after they are taken out. They must be boiled in boiling water for a few minutes before they can be detoxified and taste good."

"In addition, when you go back to cook the moray eel, don't throw away the moray eel bone. Although the method of removing the moray eel bone is delicious, it wastes the nutritional value of the moray eel bone." Gao Chuang Said.

Xiang Yang nodded.

Xiang Yang doesn't know that moray eel blood is poisonous, but he still knows that moray eel bones are rich in nutritional value.

In the bones of moray eels, there are a lot of calcium substances and trace elements, which are very helpful for calcium supplementation.

Even Xiang Yang knew that moray eel bones were among the ingredients of many calcium tablets.

Of course, moray eel bones cannot be eaten too much.

Occasionally it's okay to use it to make soup.

If you eat it regularly, you will grow wisdom teeth and buck teeth.

As for the poison in moray eel blood, Xiang Yang still doesn't quite believe it.

Because Xiang Yang must eat moray eels with blood, and the taste will be bad after washing the blood.

For more than 20 years, Xiang Yang has not seen anyone poisoned by eating moray eel blood.

In Qinglong Bend, there is even up to now a local prescription for drinking moray eel blood with boiled water to treat nosebleeds.

Gao Chuang seemed to have read Xiang Yang's thoughts, and smiled happily: "You are still too young, and you still have a lot to learn."

Xiang Yang didn't refute, even though the textbook didn't say that moray eel blood is poisonous, it proves that even those biologists who specialize in studying eels think that moray eel blood is poisonous is a trivial matter, but Xiang Yang didn't bother to tell Make up your own excuses.

However, the place must be found.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and asked, "Mr. Gao, do you know the moon-watching eel?"

After pondering for a moment, Gao Chuang shook his head doubtfully, "What is a moon-watching eel? You didn't just make up a random name to fool me, did you?"

"Since I said the name of the moon-watching eel, I can't be talking nonsense." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

"The moon-watching eel is a kind of eel that cannot be eaten. It likes to eat carrion. Its body is thicker than that of ordinary freshwater eels. In addition, its shape is not significantly different from ordinary eels. When the full moon is full, the moon-watching eel I like to swim out of the eel hole to look at the moon, this eel is highly poisonous and cannot be eaten, and people will die if they eat it."

Gao Chuang frowned, "There is such an eel?"

Xiang Yang looked at Gao Chuang confidently, "You can check online to see if there is such an eel."

Xiang Yang is not afraid of Gao Chuang to investigate, because in many documents, there are eels like the moon-watching eel, and there are indeed countless versions of the moon-watching eel on the Internet, and each version has a nose and a face. Really true.

But in fact, Xiang Yang thinks that the moon-watching eel should be a fiction of the ancients, and it does not exist.

The origin of the moon-watching eel is a legend.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, there was a small farming household in Zhenjiang City. The male owner was named Zhao Tian, ​​who was honest and upright, and the female owner was named Li Shi, who was hardworking and virtuous. happy.

In the countryside of Zhenjiang, there are a lot of eels, and the local people like to catch eels to eat.

One day, while plowing the land, Zhao Tian plowed out a ricefield eel more than three feet long.

Zhao Tianba took the eel home.

The wife felt that her husband worked hard every day and rarely ate meat, so she cooked the eel and sent it to the field to comfort her husband.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Tian finished eating, he suddenly had a stomachache, followed by bleeding from his seven orifices, and fell to the ground and died.

Zhao Tian's family members reported to the government.

After the autopsy, the government determined that Zhao Tian had indeed died of poisoning.

Therefore, the government arrested Mrs. Li, tortured her into a trick, and accused her of murdering her husband.

At that time, Ji Xiaolan, who happened to be in Zhenjiang, felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Ji Xiaolan, who is well-educated, finds that she can't find out what poison Li Shi used, and Li Shi and Zhao Tian are very affectionate on weekdays, and the villagers know it all.

Whether it's for the unknown poison or the secret of living, Ji Xiaolan is determined to find out the truth of the case.

Ji Xiaolan sent people to investigate secretly, but more than half a month passed without any results.

So, the sullen Ji Xiaolan returned to the house.

As a result, when Ji Xiaolan accidentally flipped through a folk medical book, a record caught his attention.

The medical book said that in the Jiangnan countryside, there is a strange eel that hibernates in the fields. When the moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it looks up at the moon until it sets, so it is named "moon-watching eel". Extremely poisonous.

Ji Xiaolan suddenly realized.

The next day, Ji Xiaolan had someone post a notice to buy eels from the villagers at a high price.

Ji Xiaolan put all the collected eels in a water tank, and when the moon was full, she saw a eel raised its head and looked at the moon until it set.

Immediately, Ji Xiaolan declared Li's innocence, and Zhao Tian died of poisoning by eating poisonous eel by mistake.

Of course the others didn't believe it. So many people often caught eels to eat, and they had never been poisoned. Only Zhao Tian was poisoned to death.

So Ji Xiaolan told the story of the "moon-watching eel" in public, and killed the caught "moon-watching eel" and fed it to the dogs.

The dog bleeds from its seven orifices immediately after eating the moon-watching eel, and falls to the ground and dies.

Since then, the name of the moon-watching eel has spread more and more widely. To this day, some people are still arguing whether the moon-watching eel is real or fake.
