Dad Bo asked what he was talking about, Wang Bo translated it for him, and then the old man was surprised: "Then this is a century-old store?"
Wang Bodao: "It may have a history of 150 years. Before this restaurant appeared in the town, it originally served some fishermen fishing in the lake. Later, when the population gathered, the town was built."
Father Bo showed a thoughtful expression, and said, "It's the same as our hometown village."
Wang Bo ordered a set meal for two. Although it is a restaurant with a long history, it does not have many fancy dishes. After all, there are only so many customers and so many raw materials.
The set meal is a variety of fish, fried fish, fried fish, smoked fish, grilled fish and fish soup, with black bread, a kind of food that tastes bad when eaten dry, and it is also a very cheap food, almost no one eats it now up.
Father Bo took a bite of the bread, frowned and said, "This stuff is old and hard, it's really not tasty."
Wang Bo laughed and tore it open for him and put it into the soup bowl. He waited until it was soaked in fish soup before saying, "Come on, try it. This is how you eat this kind of bread."
He introduced it to Dad Bo. Brown bread is cheap, and it used to be the first choice of fishermen around the lake, because most of the people who came to fish did not have money or good boats, otherwise they would have gone to the sea to take risks.
Black bread is hard to eat, but if it is paired with fish soup, it tastes better after being soaked in rich fish soup, and the texture becomes soft. Some fishermen call it 'malt bread with fish flavor' .
After listening to his introduction, Dad Bo laughed and said: "This is a bit like the black-faced steamed buns in our country. You don't eat them. When your mother and I were young, it would be a good life to eat black-faced steamed buns. That's not the case. It’s delicious, but if there’s a bowl of broth soaking the steamed buns, oh, it’s really delicious.”
While sighing, the old man took another bite of the black bread, and he picked up the soup bowl and ate it. He even ate two large pieces of black bread and drank a large bowl of milk fish soup.
Wang Bo didn't like the black bread, so he ate some fried fish. The fried fish here is a platter of various fish. The tilapia tastes the best when he eats it. The fish is soft and has a umami taste.
The consumption in a small place is low, and the set meal for two is only 38 yuan in total. Wang Bo has to pay, but Bo's father waved his hand domineeringly: "No, I'll come! I've made a lot of money selling vegetables recently. The meal belongs to your father!"
Wang Bo: "Father is so domineering!"
After the meal, the two went to the local fishing tackle wholesale market. Freshwater fish farming has never been taken seriously in New Zealand. The town not only makes money by selling fish and shrimp in Lake Aviemore, but also sells some fishing nets and fishing gear. kind of stuff.
Driving into the fishing gear wholesale market, Dad Bo said strangely: "Son, why are there not many people in this town? Didn't you say that this is the largest freshwater fish trading center in New Zealand?"
Wang Bo explained the reason, and Bo's father asked worriedly: "Then you are still engaged in freshwater farming? There is no money to make, so what are you doing?"
"It's okay with us. I raise these fish not to catch them and sell them, but to fish them for big guys. You see, our lake is so clear. If there are more fish to catch, more people will come. Let's play in town."
Except for supermarkets and convenience stores, all shopping malls in the town are related to fishing gear sales. Even supermarkets sell fishing rods, baits and other fishing tackle, so it is absolutely true that this is a fishing city.
In the town center, there is a New Zealand Freshwater Biology Museum jointly invested by the New Zealand government and the University of Auckland. There is a boat in it, which is the first small boat that can be identified in the history of New Zealand for freshwater fishing.
Bo Dad said that this boat is a bit like a Chinese dragon boat. Wang Bo looked at the introduction and found that this is a Maori lake fishing boat. Its shape and design are indeed a bit like a dragon boat.
After a brief visit, Wang Bo was familiar with the general situation of the town, so he went to a street selling fishing gear, found the largest fishing gear market, and walked in.
"What do you need, sir, a fishing rod? Fishing tackle? Bait?" A middle-aged man walked over and asked, with a strong smell of water on his body. Wang Bo used to smell a similar smell on his parents. .
The middle-aged man obviously regarded him as a tourist who came to fish. Wang Bo and his father indeed dressed more casually, and people of yellow race usually came to this kind of town for tourism.
The middle-aged man was very talkative, and before Wang Bo could speak, he continued to talk: "What kind of fish do you want to catch? European bream? Luo Fei? Rainbow trout, brown trout or big white striped fish? Trust me, buddy, you can pick any fish with me. Everything you need, even if you are going to hunt great white sharks in the Pacific, you can buy the most powerful harpoon from me!"
Wang Bo shrugged and said, "But I am a member of the Shark Conservation Association. The purpose of my coming here is to buy some fishing gear. If the price is right, I need a two-kilometer double-layer fishing net, fifty F-sized shrimp pots, Fifty crab cages of the same model, if there are other suitable ones, I can choose them too."
After listening to his words, the middle-aged man became more energetic. He looked at him and said, "Are you kidding me? Do you know the total price of these things?"
Wang Bo said: "I don't know, but I'm not joking, so I need you to give me a reasonable price."
Double-layer fishing nets can be used to enclose fish farms and keep fish inside to prevent them from escaping. A 2,000-meter-long net can enclose about 50 hectares of fish farms and can support more than one million fish fry.
F-size shrimp pots and crab pots are about 15 cubic meters. One shrimp pot can raise 100 vannamei shrimp and 25 crayfish, and one crab pot can raise about 20 freshwater crayfish. Crab.
Wang Bo checked the prices in advance. One meter of double-layer fishing nets cost about 10 to 15 New Zealand dollars. A size F shrimp cage costs between 200 and 300 New Zealand dollars. Crab cages are more expensive.
For a fishing tackle shop in a small town, this business is a serious business, at least compared to buying a fishing rod or a few hooks.
After listening to his words, the middle-aged man swallowed his saliva, he stretched out his hand and said: "My name is Raymond, buddy, if you are serious, then you have to go to my office and wait, come on, let my wife give If you make a cup of black tea, you should drink black tea this season, right?"
Someone came in and yelled, "Ramon, get me a bucket, damn it, my bucket didn't float up in the lake."
The middle-aged man said without turning his head: "Sheldon, don't bother me with this kind of work, okay? I'm the boss, and I want to handle big business. I'm not suitable for your kind of work."
The visitor gestured the middle finger at the back, and Lei Meng laughed and pushed open the office door to let Wang Bo and Dad Bo go in, while he turned the computer screen to show them the quotation.
