Jiang Feng swims downstream in the lake.

His swimming skills are quite impressive, and the underwater visibility is high. Soon, Jiang Feng spots the big black fish floating in the lake.

This black fish is enormous and is currently breathing with its mouth open.

Growing so large, one wonders how many fish in the lake it must have eaten.

Such a black fish is practically the overlord of the lake, leaving other small fish living in fear, only to be eaten as soon as they grow bigger.

Jiang Feng holds the black fish in his arms as he swims upstream.

At this moment, viewers in the livestream slightly panic.

[Where’s the host, hasn’t he come up yet?]

[It’s been two minutes, shouldn’t he be coming up for air?]

[Could he have been eaten by the black fish?]

[Oh no, should we call the police?]

[In this situation, by the time the police arrive, he’d be cold!]

Just as everyone was getting worried, a splash is heard on the lake’s surface.

The next second, Jiang Feng tosses the big fish onto the boat.

Then, he climbs onto the wooden boat, slightly dries himself with a towel from his bag, and puts on his clothes.

After getting dressed, Jiang Feng organizes his livestream equipment and adjusts the drone camera.

"Found it, this guy is really big."

Jiang Feng slightly pants, saying to the viewers.

Under the spring sunshine, Jiang Feng stands on the pasture, his hair wet, exuding an indescribable charm.

Beside him, a sixty-plus centimeter black fish lies on its side, with an arrowhead sticking out from its body.

The black fish is extremely tough, still gasping at this moment.

[Wow, really caught it!]

[The host is amazing!]

[Indeed, the Green Grassland listens to the host!]

[A life for a life!]

[Such a big black fish carries more than one life, many fish farms fear encountering a big black fish!]

Seeing Jiang Feng safe, viewers start chatting again.

At this point, Jiang Feng also says:

"Black fish are a very remarkable species, they eat anything they can swallow."

"If a pond has a black fish and no predators, almost all aquatic life in the pond will be consumed."

"That’s why people breeding crawfish or small fish are most afraid of black fish."

"This lake has few fish, probably related to this big black fish."

"Finally reeled it in, tonight I’ll eat it, avenging my ducks!"

Jiang Feng is satisfied.

Although the black fish is fierce, it’s also a tasty freshwater fish.

However, it’s crucial to scald it with boiling water while cooking, as the black fish secretes mucus; otherwise, it can be very fishy.

There’s a Taoist saying not to eat black fish, similar to what Guo Degang said.

But actually, black fish meat is delicious. The northern regions love making sauerkraut fish, while the south prefers snakehead porridge.

Wild freshwater black fish are a true delicacy.

[I remember Guo Degang saying not to eat black fish because they’re filial and will swim into their mother’s mouth when she’s hungry, so they’re very filial.]

A viewer immediately says.

This trait easily elicits empathy from people, especially since Huaxia values filial piety.

Jiang Feng sees this comment and explains:

"Actually, this understanding is incorrect. Xiaohai doesn’t swim into its mother’s mouth to feed her; when there’s danger, the little black fish hides in the mother black fish’s mouth to protect itself."

"Moreover, black fish have a strong territorial sense, they consume each other. Simply put, if there’s one big black fish in a lake, there won’t be another."

"Of course, if there are many black fish, that’s an exception because there’s too many, one fish can’t eat the others, leading to black fish overflow."

"So, such a big black fish definitely ate many of its kind, it’s fitting to eat it."

Seeing Jiang Feng’s serious explanation, viewers also laugh.

[The host explains seriously, afraid of backlash for eating a fish!]

[You’d be surprised, fish lovers might really speak out!]

[The black fish is so filial, why eat it!]

[So cruel; to shoot a black fish with arrows, can I get a taste of the prepared sauerkraut soup?]

After capturing the black fish, Jiang Feng rows the boat toward the shore.

Reaching the shore, he grabs the boat rope and pulls hard, pulling the wooden boat onto the grassland. Then he takes everything down and capsizes the boat for future use.

Conveniently, the camel and the wooden cart are still there.

Jiang Feng places the black fish on the wooden cart, takes Little Border Collie and Little White Wolf, and heads back.

The black fish is sliced into fillets, seasoned, and finally swish-cooked in a pot of sauerkraut soup.

The taste of that fish meat, the texture, is superb!

Adding some fresh tofu to the soup makes it even more delightful.

Northern sauerkraut fish hot pot mostly uses black fish slices.

The slices don’t fall apart easily; after swishing, they taste incredibly satisfying.

When Jiang Feng picked up the black fish, Little Border Collie and Little White Wolf stared curiously; they’d never seen such a big fish.

The camel continued to pull the wooden cart slowly forward, with Jiang Feng carrying his bow and arrows, feeling pleased.

It was like the era of men plowing and women weaving, when men returned from hunting with a full load, they surely felt satisfied.

It wasn’t long before the Tabby Cat appeared from somewhere.

It leaped suddenly and landed on the handle of the wooden cart.

Then it poked its head out, getting close to the hawk fish, looking at it with a face full of wonder.

This cat was always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and now its range of activities is expanding more.

The Tabby Cat seemed to have never seen such a large hawk fish, its eyes full of surprise.

"Be careful in the future, this big hawk fish could eat you in one bite."

"There are also wolves and foxes on the prairie."

"Foxes are manageable, but wolves eat cats. This is the prairie, there are no buildings here, your agility alone won’t save you from a wolf."

"Even Spider-Man would have to rely on running here, let alone you, a little kitty."

"Also, watch out for Weasels. Some weasels are sneaky with cats."

Jiang Feng advised earnestly, seeing Cat Boss’s expression.

Cat Boss seemed indifferent, unable to tell if it understood or not. It tilted its mouth slightly, revealing a fang, seemingly dismissive, or maybe acknowledging he knew.

Jiang Feng reached out to touch its head and stroked it a few times.

The kitty squinted its eyes enjoying it for a while, then jumped off the cart and ran straight towards the ranch.

Jiang Feng continued walking back.

Hawk fish have incredibly strong vitality; even on land, without water, they can survive for a while.

Jiang Feng planned to cook the fish immediately to ensure freshness once he got back.

Upon returning to the ranch, he planned to live stream cooking the hawk fish.

Passing through the poultry farming area, Jiang Feng spotted a familiar figure among the yellow ducklings.

He walked over and found the Tabby Cat already lying in the duck nest, cuddling several ducklings in its arms.

"You’re really..."

"Finished playing with chicks and now play with ducklings, I give up!"

He complained helplessly.

Viewers couldn’t help but laugh at this scene.

[Hahaha, this Tabby Cat found new toys again!]

[This cat is really interesting!]

[Why does it love cuddling chicks and ducklings so much?]

[So funny!]

Inside a fenced circle next to the ducks were twenty large geese. A few were eaten on the ranch during winter, with some female geese kept for egg-laying and some male geese; male and female geese are raised separately.

Poultry is only raised in small quantities, used as a supplement.

Jiang Feng said no more and returned to the kitchen to process the hawk fish.

Decapitated and tailed, soaked in high temperature, washed the fish body.

Then, Jiang Feng picked up the kitchen knife and began quickly cutting the fish meat.

The hawk fish meat was easy to slice, like cutting tofu.

A big piece was sliced down, then cutting from head to tail would do.

The kitchen knife chopped "clank clank clank clank" on the cutting board.

Slices of fish meat were cut down successively.

Next, Jiang Feng placed the fish slices in a basin, added salt, a little starch, and two eggs.

Then he wore disposable gloves to mix and knead the fish meat.

Ensuring the egg and starch coated every piece of fish meat, making the fish slices tender and fresh.

After cutting the fish meat, Jiang Feng laid foil at the bottom of the pot, prepared a pot of sauerkraut soup, adding various seasonings.

The flame began to heat the pot bottom.

Jiang Feng was busy preparing various condiments.

[The host’s culinary skills are genuinely good, great technique!]

[Can’t wait to see the sauerkraut fish he makes!]

[I really want a meal he cooked, absolutely delightful!]

[These days there are many chefs, but true master chefs are rare!]

The sauerkraut soup quickly boiled, and Jiang Feng poured the fish slices from the plate into the pot.

Suddenly, the fish meat rolls continuously in the boiling water, undergoing rapid changes in the high temperature.

This big hawk fish was so large, it filled four plates of fish meat.

If it were a small hawk fish, he would fry the head and fish bones a bit and put them in the sauerkraut soup.

Now, for Jiang Feng, he couldn’t finish just eating fish meat alone.

"I’ll use a blender to crush the fish head’s bones, mix with some feed to feed the ducklings later."

"It also serves as a tribute to the little yellow duck’s spirit in heaven."

Jiang Feng picked up a piece of cooked fish meat, the slice translucent like pork meat, tight and firm.

Eating it in one bite, there was no fishy smell, only the boiling sauerkraut soup filling his mouth, stimulating his taste buds.

"Not bad, the texture is really solid, tastes great." Jiang Feng couldn’t help but admire.

The wild hawk fish is of high value, generally not easily available to eat.

This fish has eaten countless small fish, far superior to those fed with fish feed.

Watching him enjoy the sauerkraut fish hot pot, online viewers could only drool with envy.
