Chapter 129 - 122: Fishing for Huaiwang Fish_2
"You should know this fish was very famous last century, during which it was a staple dish served to other heads of state at our national banquets," said Yue’er. "However, this fish became rare even then, and over time, it has now turned into an endangered species, classified as a second-class protected species. I can’t believe your luck today, to have caught one."
Upon hearing Yue’er’s words, Lin Yang’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily. Damn good luck, he thought. You just said it’s a second-class protected species, and if things go wrong, I could be locked up for a few days.
The livestream viewers also had a lightbulb moment after hearing Yue’er’s words.
"Wow, I didn’t expect Miss to know so much. Learned something new."
"Not to mention, seeing this fish baffled me, but Miss recognized it at a glance. Respect."
As Lin Yang had just learned about this fish as part of his last prize in aquatic knowledge, he definitely knew more about this species than she did.
So he said to the camera, "The Huaiwang Fish, scientifically known as long-nosed catfish, is also known as Fat King Fish and Huihuang Fish, mainly found in our country’s Eastern Waters. From the Huai River to the Yangtze River, the Min River, and the Zhujiang, this species can be found."
"It is said that the Xihan Huainan King Liu An was very fond of this fish and often served it to guests, which is why the fish was named ’Huaiwang Fish.’"
"Huaiwang Fish has a distinct feature: Its body color changes with the seasons and water temperature, alternating among light gray, bluish-white, and pinkish hues."
