Chapter 659: People Who Eat Raw Meat
With the clear sound of splashing water , the large spotted fish was thrown onto the ice. The fish, which had wanted to float to the surface for air, finally realized what had happened and began to flap and struggle frantically. The spilled water droplets quickly froze into beads.
This fish is over 40 centimeters long, longer than an adult's forearm. It has many spots on its body, a white belly and brown back, and a striking red line between its waist and abdomen.
It was undoubtedly a trout, a nice, fat trout.
Seeing the fresh trout slowly stiffen in the cold weather, Bifang's eyes became red after he had not had any meat for a whole week and had to eat grass for a living.
Meat!
Plump fish meat!
The mucus on the fish gradually turned into ice chips, and the air was filled with a faint fishy smell.
The superior position in the food chain drove Bifang's mouth to continuously secrete saliva, and he wished he could pounce on the prey and eat its flesh raw, but in the end, Bifang held back and focused his attention once again on the ice cave.
At this time, another fish came over. Bifang clenched his spear and stabbed again.
Under the setting sun, big fish were thrown out of the cave one after another, with almost no one missing.
The river water is overflowing with an intoxicating azure glow and is extremely clear, a scene that you would never see under normal circumstances.
Even northerners who go fishing in winter often see dark blue river water, which leaves a faint dirty layer when it flows out onto the ice.
[It's so beautiful, just like a fairyland]
[I have never seen such clean river water in my life]
[Can the fish here be eaten raw? It doesn’t seem polluted at all]
Such a beautiful river left a very deep impression on the audience in front of the screen.
The fourth fish was thrown onto the shore. Bifang was slightly out of breath, which reminded him of the first time he entered the Qinling Mountains. He was perhaps even weaker now than before. He felt very tired after catching only a few fish. His aim was very poor and he just took two attempts to hook the fourth fish.
After taking a few breaths, Bifang sat on the ground.
We caught four in a row
Seeing the audience's amazement, Bifang also took the time to explain.
"Ordinary ice formed directly from water has a large number of bubbles inside. The incident light will be reflected at the interface between the ice and the bubbles. In addition, the grain boundaries between the ice grains will also produce reflections. Therefore, the ice appears white."
"But much of the ice in the Arctic is snowflakes that are gradually compacted under pressure to form snow particles. The final form of the snow particles at the bottom is also ice. This kind of ice has very few bubbles, and the pores between them are constantly shrinking, becoming more and more dense, and becoming perfect ice crystals."
"Perfect ice crystals absorb very little light in the visible range and appear transparent. But they absorb more red light than blue light. This absorption is caused by the vibration of the O-H bonds in water molecules."
"At this time, when light passes through very pure water or ice, more red light will be absorbed. When the water and ice are thicker, it will appear blue. The river under our feet, at least this section, has definitely not melted this summer, so this situation will occur."
Ice that emits blue light is usually found in icebergs, but it is relatively rare in rivers.
The cold blue light brings peace to people's hearts.
The time was short, and by the time the sun went down, Bifang had caught a total of seven fish, including four trout, two salmon, and one cod.
The harvest can’t be said to be abundant, it is simply a fruitful return.
Bifang didn't even dig a shelter, but started to process the fish. He cut open the trout's belly, took out the internal organs, and went to the river to wash them clean.
Then use a hunting knife to cut off the fattest and fatty part of the fish belly.
While Bifang was processing the fish, the audience also discovered a problem: it seemed that there were no materials to make a fire?
The extra tree sticks I saw before were basically used to make snowshoes, and the rest were just scraps. I did keep a few, but it was impossible to start a fire and roast fish with just a few small branches.
[There is no fuel]
[Yeah, it seems too late to collect now]
Just when everyone was wondering if Bifang had no food to eat and had to go out to find food, they were surprised to find that Bifang actually picked up a piece of fish belly meat with a fork and stuffed it directly into his mouth!
Damn, freshwater fish, eat it raw!
The audience was in an uproar.
With information being so developed nowadays, almost everyone who has watched the video has a general understanding of some issues related to sashimi.
Some of them are wrong, for example, seafood has fewer parasites and seafood parasites cannot survive in the human body. This is an extremely one-sided understanding.
Some of them are correct. For example, due to osmotic pressure, most seafood parasites cannot survive in the human body. Freshwater fish are often not eaten raw, and the probability of infection is extremely high, and the probability of crustaceans being infected is even more outrageous.
But whether it is right or not, everyone basically knows that river fish cannot be eaten raw.
【666, Fresh River Food】
[Damn, Lao Fang is really brave, isn't he afraid of parasites? ]
[It’s ok to eat sea fish, but river fish are also eaten raw? 】
【Is your brain hungry and sick? 】
[What is this anchor doing, eating raw river food? ]
[Philips Fish presents wolf hair brush to anchor *666]
Trout usually start spawning in November, and experienced anglers start looking for them in October. It can be said that now is the season when trout are the fattest.
The fish belly even has a sheen of oil, and even after being frozen it doesn’t feel greasy at all, but rather very smooth and tender, like sucking noodles.
In fact, even greasy food is not a problem at all. The fatter the better. What Bifang needs most at this time is a lot of fat.
After eating several pieces of fish belly, the bellies of the two trouts were completely gone. There was finally some dry food in his stomach, and Bi Fang temporarily stopped his crazy eating.
The stomach begins to digest the fish with all its might, and a warmth emanates from the inside out, making one want to stretch comfortably.
It was at this time that Bi Fang noticed the chaos in the barrage.
"Ah, well, there is a certain risk, but it's not a big risk. Parasites are very afraid of cold. In fact, all safe sashimi has a freezing stage, which is to place it in an environment of minus 20 degrees for 24 hours, which can kill the parasites to the greatest extent."
Bifang explained while chewing.
"However, eating raw meat in the Arctic is not just a question of safety, it is also a necessity."
"Although I have been eating grass for the past few days, there is a terrible disease that may still threaten us at any time. In order to prevent it, eating raw meat is a necessary means."
disease?
The audience perked up after hearing this and looked closely at Bifang's appearance. They discovered that apart from looking pale and a little weak, he didn't look sick.
"Of course I'm not sick, I'm just a little hungry..."
"And I said it was just a precaution. Actually, everyone should have heard of this disease. It was quite famous during the Age of Exploration."
"scurvy."
