Chapter 466: 鸬鹚 in memory (2/5)

Osprey is not actually a kind of eagle. This name is the native name of Wang Bo's hometown. If it is changed to a scientific name, it is tadpole, a water bird that is very good at fishing.
Wang Bo remembered that when he was in elementary school, a chapter in the textbook he used was about this kind of water bird.
This kind of water bird was domesticated by the Chinese thousands of years ago. In places where there are seas, lakes and rivers, tadpoles can often be seen.
In Wang Bo's hometown, tadpoles are called osprey, because they can help fishermen to fish. Although not very good at flying, for fishermen, they are eagles on the ocean.
In addition to Osprey, they also have a local name called "Black Ghost". This title sounds awful, but it is actually a kind of respectful name for his concubine. In his hometown, 'ghost' has two meanings. As a noun, it is a ghost in the traditional sense. If it is used as an adjective, it is' genuine, "Smart" means, for example, clever.
Black ghosts describe the intelligence of the osprey. In addition to the seagulls in Wang Bo's hometown, there are two more common seabirds, one is a starling, and the other is a starling. The latter has far better flight capabilities than the former.
But the starlings are stupid and can't be tamed at all, and the starlings are much smarter. Keeping the young starlings on the boat, you can train them into fishing helpers with a little training.
It is called a black ghost to describe this bird as not as stupid as a starling, but has superb fishing skills. In China, people have been domesticating tadpoles and fishing from them very early.
In Wang Bo's childhood, the sea was full of fish and shrimp. At that time, ordinary people could not afford big boats. Every family depended on sampan boards to fish. Just like the Jiangnan water village in the TV documentary, fishermen often brought domesticated scamps when they went fishing Alas.
He still vaguely remembered such a scene. A group of crickets looked like soldiers waiting for review, with their necks around their necks, standing neatly at the bow of the ship.
When the school of fish appears and the owner makes a whistle, the slugs will jump into the water to fish. Due to their collars, they can't swallow the fish, they will carry the fish back to the boat.
In this way, after the owner has taken the fish down, the cormorant will dive again to go fishing, and so on to help the fishermen come to fish.
In addition, in the local fishery culture, tadpoles are not only good at fishing, but also a symbol of a happy marriage.
The old fishermen know that the uncle is not a lovebird who is accompanied by his wife and his wife for life. A pair of tadpoles go together from acquaintance to incubation to nesting to feeding young birds.
In addition, the traditional culture in the Book of Songs is also related. In the Guan Guanyu Dou at the beginning of the Book of Songs, the river dove is Luan, so for these reasons, fishermen will choose one when they get married. Put the red flower on the old lady and send it to the wedding to express the congratulations to the newcomer Baishou.
Wang Bo didn't expect that the Osprey, who had been a good assistant to the fishermen's work and life, has now become the food on the banquet, which is really difficult for him to accept!
After hearing his doubts, the waiter handing the towel said: "The cash is different. Mr. Wang, the country has promulgated laws and regulations, saying that fish eagles are illegal fishing tools, and fishermen are not allowed to use them. So if you ca n’t go fishing, who will keep fish eagles Can only be sold to restaurants for cooking. "
Wang Bo was even more surprised and asked, "You bullshit? Are there such laws and regulations?"
The man said nothing, took out his cell phone, searched, and showed him the news.
Wang Bo took a closer look and saw that the news was indeed reporting on it. Finally, there were clear regulations: According to Article 20 of the "Implementation Rules of the Fishery Law of the People's Republic of China", 'Prohibit the use of electricity, Osprey and ship knocking operations in specific waters. When it is really necessary to use electricity or fish eagle fishing, it must be approved by the fishery administrative department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government '.
Seeing this rule, he really didn't know what to say, this rule was too nonsense!
Fishermen's use of osprey to assist in fishing leads to shrinking fishery resources? Wang Bo thinks this statement is ridiculous, just like some experts said that the oil fume produced by aunts cooking caused the air pollution.
For fishermen, fish eagles are just fishing assistants, and a group of fish eagles won't catch as many nets as fishing boats in their lives. And Wang Bo knows that Osprey can only be used in lakes, rivers and seashores. If they enter the deep sea, they will not play a big role at all.
Because Osprey is good at diving but not good at flying, deep sea winds and strong waves, once they enter the water, they can't fly at all, and they easily lead to death.
And where are there fish and shrimp offshore? Therefore, for this reason, Wang Bo is not allowed to fishermen breeding pupae.
However, this is a policy decision at the upper level. He is not qualified to express opinions, and he cannot change this fact. He can only shake his head.
The fat chef dragged the osprey in the iron cage into the kitchen and instructed his men to prepare hot water. The osprey shrank in the iron cage and looked at the people timidly. The dark eyes revealed the simple eyes.
Wang Bo put his hand into the iron cage, and a chef came up to offer his diligence and said, "Brother Wang, please be careful and be twisted by the Osprey."
Osprey's attack is similar to big geese. They have sharp mouths. When attacking, they bite their opponents and twist their powerful necks.
Wang Bo stroked the smooth feathers of these ospreys and said, "This is all cooked eagles. You can see by looking at their eyes and movements. This is an osprey that helps people not know how many fish have been caught. ? "
The cooked eagle is the name given by the locals to the osprey that has been cultivated for a long time. Familiarity means familiarity, and it is the kind and docile osprey that is familiar to people.
Sure enough, he reached into the iron cage, and these ospreys stretched their necks together to gently point the back of his palm with a pointed mouth. He knew that this meant that the osprey asked for food.
There is no doubt that these Ospreys have been hungry for a long time.
Seeing that Wang Bo was very interested in the osprey, the chef came up to make fun, and said, "Boss Wang, do you like to eat the osprey? Our hotel has a unique approach. Do not bleed the osprey first, and put it directly in a boiling water pot. dead……"
Wang Bo couldn't listen any more, interrupting his words coldly and saying, "Don't you think this is too cruel? Look at these Ospreys, many of them are females who want to lay their cubs. I'm afraid it will hurt the peace." "
If the osprey enters the breeding period, you can tell by looking at the feathers.
This bird is seen all over the world, and it is also found in New Zealand. For example, the spotted salamanders have rich feathers. The salamanders in Wang Bo's hometown are ordinary salamanders. They have gray-black feathers on their bodies, and their eyelids and throats are different. Colors can be seen in blue, orange, red or yellow.
Once entering the breeding season, the feather color of these parts of tadpoles will become more vivid. Wang Bo took a closer look and found that the tadpole feathers of these tadpoles became very bright, which is a sign of entering the breeding period. (To be continued.)
