"No, I only eat rhino shrimp." Xiang Yang said.
"Okay, Mr. Xiang." The young man smiled and took Xiang Yang to a water tank. He rolled up his sleeves, took out a two-pound rhino shrimp from the tank and handed it to Xiang Yang. "Mr. Xiang, please take a look first to see if this shrimp is artificially cultivated."
Xiang Yang took the shrimp and looked at it carefully.
This rhinoceros shrimp looks a bit like a cicada. It does not have big claws and its legs are very short. At first glance, it looks like a slipper and is very fat.
In fact, Xiang Yang was able to tell at a glance that this shrimp was farmed.
Farmed rhino shrimp are very easy to distinguish from wild rhino shrimp.
Wild rhinoceros shrimp is a deep-water shrimp. In order to protect itself, it has its own protective color, which is the same color as mud, which is gray. It also has camouflage such as moss on its body, making it look very rough.
The shells of farmed rhinoceros shrimp are very shiny, and some have bright red heads.
"The shrimp is fine." Xiang Yang nodded and handed the rhino shrimp back to the other party.
The young salesman immediately took the fresh rhino shrimp and scrubbed the surface clean with a brush.
Then I saw him use a knife to cut a hole in the rhino shrimp to drain the water, and pull the head and tail of the rhino shrimp apart. Then he first lifted the shell of the shrimp head, removed the shrimp heart, shrimp stomach, shrimp intestines, shrimp gills and chopped the rhino shrimp head into pieces. Then he cut off the shell on the abdomen of the shrimp tail and took out the rhino shrimp meat, removed the shrimp intestines and cut into pieces. Finally, he put the rhino shrimp meat back into the shell of the shrimp tail and placed it in the steaming plate together with the shrimp head for later use.
"The cooking method of rhino shrimp is very simple, but the difficult part is the seasoning." The young salesman explained to Xiang Yang while lighting a high fire and heating oil in a wok.
When Xiang Yang estimated that the oil was about 50% hot, the young salesman slowly turned down the heat, and then added minced garlic, oyster sauce, scallions, parsley, and salt and stir-fried them over low heat.
When the seasonings in the pot were fried until golden, Xiang Yang sniffed slightly, and a fragrance filled the air.
At this time, the young salesperson scooped out the garlic sauce and set it aside.
He carefully spread the fried garlic sauce evenly on the rhino shrimp pieces, then boiled water in a steamer over high heat. After boiling, he put the steaming tray containing the rhino shrimp into the pot. After about two or three minutes, he took out the steaming tray and evenly sprinkled chopped green onions on the rhino shrimp pieces, and then poured oil on the chopped green onions.
The rhino shrimp at this time looks bright red, which makes people's appetite increase at first sight.
"Boss, the rhino shrimps are ready to eat. Shall we go to the office to talk?" the young salesperson said with a smile.
Xiang Yang nodded, turned around and walked towards the office first.
"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Zhang, please try the taste first." The sales young man helped Xiang Yang to peel open the shrimp and took out the snow-white and tender shrimp meat. Then he smiled and said, "Rhino shrimps are extremely strong. Especially after being improved by our company's R&D department, breeding rhino shrimps only requires seedling separation. There is no need to separate or change cages. In fact, since they are deep-sea shrimps, there is no need to eliminate pests during breeding."
Xiang Yang tasted a piece of shrimp.
The taste is a bit like rock lobster, but the meat is not as smooth as rock lobster. It is a bit rough, but very chewy. It is a bit similar to the flower lobster that Xiang Yang had eaten once.
The salesman was there introducing some precautions for raising rhino lobsters to Xiang Yang. "The biggest difficulty in raising rhino lobsters is how to avoid exposure to the sun. Rhino lobsters have hard shells and they have almost no natural enemies. In other words, all carnivorous marine creatures that are larger than them are their natural enemies. So there is no way to prevent natural enemies. It is recommended to completely separate them from the seawater to prevent other marine creatures from entering the breeding base."
"Exposure to the sun." Xiang Yang put down his knife and fork and listened carefully.
In fact, Xiang Yang really wanted to try aquaculture, but there were so many things to think about that he didn't know where to start.
Now that someone was willing to speak, Xiang Yang might as well listen carefully.
Zhang Qicheng ate a few pieces of shrimp meat and put down his knife and fork. He smiled and said, "No matter what, it's better to take us to your company's breeding farm."
"This." The young salesman hesitated for a moment. He said with a conflicted look on his face, "Boss, I don't have the authority to take people directly to the breeding ground. If you want to go to the breeding ground to take a look, I have to ask our supervisor first. Only after the supervisor agrees can I take you there."
"Okay, now that you've tasted it, I won't let you work in vain. You can ask your supervisor for instructions. I'll go to the breeding farm to take a look. If I'm sure that the conditions there are suitable for breeding rhinoceros shrimps, I'll purchase a batch of shrimp seedlings to bring back." Xiang Yang said.
The young salesman's face lit up when he heard this, and he quickly took out his cell phone to make a call.
After a while, the salesman smiled and said, "Mr. Xiang, our supervisor has agreed. Please come this way."
Xiang Yang followed the young salesman downstairs.
The breeding base is right next to the dock. A large area of the sea has been surrounded by iron railings with triangular spikes on the railings, apparently to prevent others from coming in and stealing their skills.
However, this precaution seemed meaningless to Xiang Yang.
Even if there weren't this circle of iron railings, ordinary people wouldn't come in to learn from him because they don't have the funds.
Even with this circle of iron railings, people who are capable of stealing skills still have plenty of ways to get in. For example, Xiang Yang walked in openly now.
"You are raising shrimps in seawater?" Xiang Yang asked in amazement, "Won't the shrimps escape on their own?"
"They are released into the sea, but they can't escape." The salesman smiled and said, "Our boss has enclosed a very large area of sea with barbed wire. This circle of barbed wire does not block the flow of seawater, but it is very difficult for creatures inside the wire to swim out, or for creatures outside the wire to swim in. This is especially true for creatures like rhinoceros shrimps. Although they can swim, they usually live under the sea. Even if the seawater is high and the seawater submerges the wire mesh, they generally won't escape."
Xiang Yang nodded expressionlessly and did not express his opinion immediately.
They are specialized in this. Xiang Yangguang saw more than ten kinds of equipment at the scene that he didn't recognize. He was not naive enough to really think that a layer of barbed wire could stop the rhino shrimp from escaping.
This is the ocean, not a lake or reservoir, and there is almost no such thing as putting barbed wire around the sea water.
If you really want to build a fence, you may have been building it for a long time, but a slightly bigger wave would hit and the net and the fixed foundation would be washed away to an unknown place.
The most important thing is that Xiang Yang's vision is different from that of ordinary people. After he scanned the sea surface, he was very sure that there was absolutely no fence within at least two kilometers from the coast.
