Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1452 The Great White Sturgeon

Xierfan has already regarded Zhao Lei as a big customer, and the factory became so noisy in front of customers, which made him very annoyed, and immediately asked a worker who came in a hurry: "Why is it so noisy?"

The worker said with a happy face: "Boss, we got lucky today, someone caught a big white sturgeon more than seven meters long!"

Shirvan, who was still a little angry, immediately said with joy on his face: "This is really great, let's go and have a look!"

Xierfan walked towards Zhao Lei and said, "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer big white sturgeons. As soon as Mr. Zhao came, someone caught such a big white sturgeon. You really brought us good luck, haha! "

Recently, Zhao Lei has learned a lot about caviar, and he also knows that the caviar made from the roe of great white sturgeon is the best caviar.The sturgeon grows slowly, and females don't start to reproduce until they are 60 years old, when they have eggs in their stomachs.

With the over-exploitation and pollution of sturgeon resources, there are fewer and fewer great white sturgeons that can grow to such a large size, and only a few hundred are caught every year.

Therefore, the price of caviar made from this kind of sturgeon roe is comparable to gold, and all of them are given priority to those regular customers with status. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!

And today someone actually caught a sturgeon that big, with enough eggs in its stomach to make many cans of caviar. No wonder Sylvain was so happy.

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "That's your luck. I just happened to be here at this time, but that's good. I can finally see the appearance of the great white sturgeon with my own eyes. It's an eye-opener."

Sylvan laughed triumphantly, and the two of them quickened their pace to the side of the trestle bridge.

At this time, the workers in the factory were already busy, carefully hoisting a big fish from the fishing boat docked nearby.

When Zhao Lei saw the sturgeon for the first time, he couldn't help being shocked by its size.This fish is really too big, much bigger than the bluefin tuna he raises in the sea in Hulu Space, and probably only the killer whale "Panda" is bigger than it.

The Great White Sturgeon has the typical characteristics of a sturgeon. It looks like a shark in appearance, and there are very obvious bone fragments on the side of the body, which retains a very primitive appearance.

This sturgeon has very light skin, which is why it is called the Great White Sturgeon.After being lifted up carefully by the workers, Zhao Lei found that the tail of the sturgeon was still swaying slightly, obviously still alive.

Xierfan, who also noticed this, was even more happy, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile on his face: "This big white sturgeon is still alive, so the eggs will be fresher, and the caviar will naturally be better!"

As Sylvan said, the fresher the fish eggs, the higher the quality of the caviar, so the workers immediately got busy.

Everyone worked together to transport the great white sturgeon into the workshop, planning to pick the eggs as soon as possible.And Sylvain stayed on the trestle, apparently planning to negotiate the price with the fishermen.

However, Shirvan seemed a little hesitant, and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei immediately understood what the other party meant. After all, the purchase price of Sturgeon is strictly a commercial secret, and it is absolutely inconvenient for future customers to know.

So Zhao Lei smiled slightly at Xierfan and said, "If you don't mind, I want to go into the workshop to see how the workers make caviar. Can you see it?"

Shirvan agreed with relief: "It's absolutely fine, you can watch whatever you want!"

Zhao Lei nodded and followed the workers into the workshop.

There are several stainless steel workbenches in the workshop, and there are already many sturgeons on them.However, most of the sturgeons have already been eggs, and two workers carefully put the newly extracted eggs into the container, and the sturgeons were thrown directly into the sea next to the workshop.

For the caviar factory, right now is the busiest season.I really don't have time to deal with these sturgeons whose eggs have been taken, so I deal with them in the simplest way.

Zhao Lei noticed that some sturgeons were still alive after their eggs were retrieved, and they were still thrashing after falling into the sea. It seemed that they could still live for a while.

At the same time, the workers had already started to take the eggs of the great white sturgeon. An experienced worker carefully cut open the belly of the sturgeon, and the others cheered immediately.

There are indeed a lot of fish eggs in the belly of such a big sturgeon. It looks like it weighs dozens of kilograms. Several workers carefully put all the fish eggs into the container, carried them to the side and rinsed them with clean water.

At this time, everyone's attention was on the fish eggs. As for the sturgeon whose eggs had been retrieved, no one paid any attention to them, and several people worked together to push them into the sea from the workbench.

Zhao Lei noticed that the sturgeon thumped twice after entering the water, and it seemed that it would not die for a while.This scene gave him an idea, and he quickly pretended to be curious, and ran outside to see the sturgeon whose eggs had been taken.

The workers also knew that Zhao Lei was the boss's VIP. Since they liked to watch dead fish, they should let him watch it. Naturally, no one would stop him.

Zhao Lei walked outside quickly, looked at the sturgeons still struggling in the sea and smiled, and with a thought, he collected them all into the sea of ​​the gourd space.

The life of fish is very strong. These sturgeons have only been taken from their eggs, and their internal organs are not missing.Zhao Lei hoped that the abundant aura in the gourd space would allow these sturgeons to survive.If this approach is really successful, it will be of great significance to his future production of top caviar.

After taking the dying sturgeon into Hulu Space, Zhao Lei hurried to the workshop to see how the workers made caviar.

In fact, the process of making caviar is not complicated. After taking out the fish eggs, rinse them with clean water to remove the septum and damaged fish eggs in the eggs, and then put them into cans and send them to the warehouse after marinating. The merchant came to pick up the goods.

Among them, the process of pickling is the most critical. How much salt to use, what kind of salt to use, and when to add salt are all related to the quality of caviar.

These key factors should be judged according to the species, number and size of fish eggs.And this depends on the rich experience of the workers to judge, there is no exact standard at all.

It takes at least ten years for a worker to change from a rookie to an experienced veteran.That's why Xierfan let Zhao Lei enter the workshop to watch the caviar making process so reassuringly, because he knows very well that in fact, everyone knows the steps, but it is definitely not something that can be learned by just looking at them well.

However, Xierfan miscalculated this time, Zhao Lei is not an ordinary person.For a cultivator, it is very possible to grasp the mysteries of many things after seeing many things a few times, and this is exactly the case for Zhao Lei at this time!
