Chapter 1222 Returning to the Country
The head of the Fisheries Commission of the United States said that carp has been very popular in Western Europe and Asia since ancient times.
The fishery doctor said that carp can be compared with grains and livestock in terms of value and protein content, and it grows fast, has strong adaptability, is harmless to other fish, and has good eating habits.
Even with the joint efforts of many parties, it was not until 1877 that the United States decided to introduce carp.
The first successful introduction of more than 300 carp was put into a pond in Maryland, the United States for breeding.
By the second year, more than 300 carp had become more than 6,000.
These large and small carp were distributed to more than 270 dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in 24 states for breeding, which also caused the carp to spread in the American continent.
This knowledge did not match what Han Li had learned before. He only knew that foreigners did not eat freshwater fish, but before he could ask the doubts in his heart, Professor Rand Swanson said it.
During World War I and World War II, the United States, which was far away on another continent, was not only able to stay out of the war, but also because of various orders, the domestic industry developed rapidly.
Industrial development not only brought wealth, but also caused serious pollution to the rivers, waters and lakes of the United States.
There are countless rivers and lakes with turbid and black water and emitting foul odors. Therefore, relevant scientists found during the inspection that the pollution of the waters caused the pollutants and heavy metals contained in those freshwater fish to exceed the standard.
Frequent consumption of these fish grown in this environment is likely to cause these heavy metals to enter the body, and in severe cases, it may cause heavy metal poisoning, causing serious damage to the body.
Several professional institutions in the United States, combined with several ocean fishing companies, jointly issued a notice not to recommend eating these freshwater fish.
Han Li understood when he heard this that no matter where or what era, wealthy businessmen and dignitaries cherish their lives very much.
Even if some food is a little bit bad for the body, they will not eat it. In front of their own bodies, it is not important whether the "master" can see Gefilte Fish on important festivals.
This also involves the operation of capital, plus the poor cooking talent of foreigners. Whether it is handling, processing, or eating, it can make them feel overwhelmed. It is not surprising that freshwater fish are eliminated.
In addition, the saying "upwards follow downwards" applies everywhere. The rich businessmen, dignitaries, and church personnel in the United States do not eat carp, and those people who have not eaten freshwater fish a few times in their memory will certainly not eat it.
While several people were chatting, the dishes were served.
When Gefilte Fish was served to Han Li, he took a look at the fish ball. It looked good on the outside. He pressed it lightly with a fork. The elasticity was also good. It had seven points of the style of Lianjiang fish balls in Fujian Province, Rongcheng, and Lianjiang in my country.
However, when Han Li picked it up with a fork and put it in his mouth to taste it, the original seven points directly became two points. This was because he saw that the staff in the back kitchen had to remove the bones and meat to make these fish balls.
Although the fish balls were tender and bouncy, they had no salty taste, only peppery taste. The fishy smell of the fish meat itself was almost suppressed, and it was sweet after eating. It was really hard to describe the feeling after eating.
Han Li glanced at the others with the corner of his eyes and found that they all ate with relish. He once again admired the taste of the English.
Although he complained, Han Li still pretended to be very sociable and quietly finished his share of fish balls.
After the meal, Han Li and his party did not leave the hotel, but went to the nightclub on the top floor under the leadership of Victor Zachary.
This nightclub is a high-end route, and you can't get in without Professor Rand Swanson's face.
Those who can come to this nightclub are those who are relatively stable, gentle, and well-dressed on the surface. The most important thing is that the people who come here are more than 90% of the people in Renton in terms of economic conditions and social status.
Therefore, although this nightclub is lively, it is not as chaotic as other bars and nightclubs.
Whether it was the waiter or the dancing partner sitting on the sofa next to them waiting for the guests, they were all dressed quite exquisitely.
Han Li and his friends, led by the waiter, came to a booth facing the stage and sat down.
They had already drunk a little wine during the meal, so they didn't come here to drink at all.
What else would they do if they didn't drink? Of course, they came to a nightclub or a bar to dance.
The youngest guests who could come here were in their twenties or early thirties, whether because of their age or because they wanted to maintain the old-fashioned side of the English people and feel superior.
Breakdance, which is the most popular dance now and is performed by many young people on the streets, is popular in many bars, but it will never appear here.
They mainly dance ballroom dance, swing dance, twist dance and slow-tempo disco.
The most popular and most danced dance is twist dance, because it is very simple.
To do twist dance, you only need to open your feet shoulder-width apart after the music starts, and roll your feet back and forth on the floor. Occasionally, one leg will be lifted or you will stand on tiptoes. The posture is relatively low, and the body is slightly leaning forward. It is very suitable for people who are a little older.
Also, although the dance posture of the twist dance is simple, the seemingly meaningless body twisting movements and the distance between the dance partners contain many kinds of hints.
If two people who do not know each other at the beginning are pleasing to the eye when dancing, the upper body swaying back and forth, and the hip and shoulder movements will be more suggestive.
If the dance partners are equally interesting, they will close the distance between each other after seeing each other's movements and respond in the dance.
After the dance, if it is convenient, you can find a place to communicate directly, or if it is not convenient, you can make another appointment to meet.
If the other party is not interested, just maintain the original distance and dance posture. After the dance, everyone smiles at each other and leaves, so that no one will lose face.
This dance has no fixed dance posture. Participants only need to have hands and feet, and the number of people is not limited to two people. A group of people can also twist their bodies meaninglessly in a circle.
Han Li was invited to dance a dance and came back. Looking at the instructor who was still twisting on the dance floor, they recalled it.
It turns out that the dance styles in many of Zhou Xingxing's movies are very similar to swing dance and twist dance. The dance moves are so exaggerated, and the twists are full of teasing and temptation.
However, many dance postures and movements in movies are not easy to shoot. In reality, especially in such nightclubs, the dance postures are more bold.
Although Professor Rand Swanson is old, he is still very energetic when dancing.
He didn't say to end the show, so Han Li and others had to accompany him. The dance lasted until more than one o'clock in the morning.
Because Han Li had nothing to do at Niujing University, he lived in London afterwards.
Although there was still more than a week before returning to China, Han Li was not idle. In addition to going to the farmers' market every day to buy goods, he bought a few books for his mentor Professor Zhang** at Yanda University, and went to several places to visit his mentor's friends at the time. But it was a pity that Han Li only found two people out of the five addresses and names given by the mentor.
Because he would be returning home soon, Han Li usually spent his time in the busiest cafes when he had nothing to do during the day, reading, listening to other people's gossip, and bragging.
Han Li did not hang out in bars or nightclubs at night, but went to the movies or plays, and then went back to the hotel to rest.
Han Li did not know why he did this, but his heart subconsciously told him to do these things to cultivate his body and mind and cultivate his sentiments.
This situation continued until the day before Han Li went to the embassy to gather. That night, he calculated the time and called his family to tell them that he was about to go home.
Han Li listened to the cheers on the other end of the phone, which made his eyes a little sore.
After Han Li put down the phone, he took out the three large travel bags he brought with him when he came, and two large "rolling suitcases" bought after arriving in England from the decomposition space.
One of the suitcases was filled with several M3 6X30 military binoculars produced by the United States during World War II that Han Li bought in Glasgow. These were gifts from Han Li to the elders.
Of course, there are also some dolls of the Loch Ness Monster and Highland Cattle, as well as toys with foreign characteristics, which are given to Liu Zhongcheng, Liu Zhongxin, Zhang Hailin, Zhang Ling, Hou Huidong, Hou Liru, Li Yunzhi, Li Yunhua, Guan Haijiao, Song Guanghui and others.
These gifts directly filled a suitcase, and at the same time became the most valuable one in Han Li's travel bag and suitcase.
These are the most valuable? That's because the other boxes are basically filled with sanitary napkins.
These are things placed on the surface. If there is nothing, it will be inconvenient to take these things out after returning home. Otherwise, Han Li, who has a decomposition space, would be too lazy to pack these things.
After Han Li packed his things, he lit a cigarette and sat by the window of the room, looking at the city where he stayed for a year.
