Su Ran shook his head. He felt the situation was a little uncertain.
Nutria fur farms also flourished in Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but soon became unprofitable.
As demand for their fur has declined, nutria have become pests in most places where they are farmed.
It wreaks havoc on aquatic vegetation, swamps and irrigation systems.
Therefore, in addition to legislation, many countries have also established corresponding nutria control programs. For example, the government will pay a bounty for each nutria killed.
"But according to some literature, nutria does have some positive effects if used properly."
Su Ran said: "Research has proven that nutria can survive in harsh environments such as salt marshes, and their habit of digging deep underground helps them transition to open waters."
"Furthermore, nutria have a specific diet. Nutria raised in different environments show a strong preference for single vegetation or double vegetation. Therefore, in theory, they can be used to control aquatic invasive plants."
Of course, the effect of doing this is almost negligible, so just ignore it.
After all, if we really want to manage the aquatic environment, there are better things than nutria.
So the audience discovered that its only benefit is that it can be eaten.
"But I remember that domestic law prohibits the hunting of nutria."
Some viewers suddenly discovered the bright spot, and it is true that wild animals like these usually carry viruses and parasites.
Nutria are hosts to roundworm parasites and also to viruses such as salmonellosis and encephalomyocarditis virus.
But it’s different abroad. For example, the Eagle Sauce’s way is very wild. For decades, people in poor and rural areas of Louisiana have been catching and eating nutria meat.
Even for two consecutive years in 1997 and 1998, the state of Louisiana launched a large-scale publicity campaign to try to educate the public to eat nutria meat.
To encourage more people to eat nutria, some recipes were distributed to locals and posted on the internet.
Online media outlets even claim that nutria meat is leaner, lower in fat, and lower in cholesterol than ground beef.
Similarly, in other countries and regions, nutria is sold in local markets as the cheapest meat.
They come in the form of burgers, hot dogs, or wrapped in cabbage leaves, and are said to taste somewhere between turkey and pork.
Therefore, with so much demand for food, many nutrias are specially raised abroad.
What Su Ran is eating now is farmed nutria, which does not carry any virus.
At this time, the sound of bubbling gradually came from the kitchen.
The fragrance also spread into the room.
Chen Sisi was still sleeping, but was soon attracted by the fragrance.
"What is that? It smells so good."
Chen Sisi, who was only wearing a small vest, couldn't wait to ask Su Ran.
Su Ran pointed to the kitchen and said, "It's beaver meat."
"Beavers are so cute, how can we eat them? They smell so good, how do we eat them?" Chen Sisi looked impatient.
Su Ran specially served Chen Sisi a bowl of soup and said, "The whole body of the nutria is a treasure, because its tail is rich in protein, so the sutures extracted from its tail are used in many hospitals."
"And it really has the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, so we usually say it is a gas station for men and a source of happiness for women, so finish this bowl of soup first."
Chen Sisi felt a little embarrassed after hearing Su Ran say this.
Although she is a woman, she doesn't need to drink any soup to nourish her body.
Chen Sisi carefully picked up the bowl and blew gently on the hot air. She could clearly smell the aroma emanating from the bowl, which seemed to be different from the food she usually ate.
She wondered curiously whether there were many special seasonings or medicines added to this bowl of food.
She inserted the spoon into the bowl and stirred it gently, observing the color and texture of the food.
The food in the bowl has an attractive color and looks very delicious.
Chen Sisi couldn't help feeling a little excited, she couldn't wait to taste it.
She carefully put a spoonful of food into her mouth, savoring the flavor.
The taste of the food is rich and unique, as if it is infused with the flavors of many spices and herbs.
She could feel the taste buds in her mouth being stimulated and becoming unusually active, as if telling her that this bowl of food was different.
Chen Sisi couldn't help but sigh: "This bowl of food is really fragrant. It must have a lot of medicine added to it, right?"
Su Ran nodded: "Yes, this tail soup is added with a little bit of nourishing medicine."
“It’s a little sweet when you first take a sip, and then when it settles a little, you’ll feel a little warm and spicy in your mouth.”
"After you finish the soup, try some meat."
Su Ran didn't care at all how greedy the audience in the live broadcast room were.
He carefully handed a piece of golden and crispy beaver meat to Chen Sisi. The meat was tender and fragrant.
His movements were gentle and careful, as if he were delivering a precious gift.
Chen Sisi took the piece of meat and felt Su Ran's care and concern. She took a bite and was amazed by the perfect combination of the crispy skin and the tender meat.
"Delicious, it tastes really good."
Chen Sisi savored the beaver meat carefully. She put a small piece into her mouth and chewed it slowly.
As the teeth gently bite, the delicate taste of beaver meat gradually unfolds on the tip of the tongue, like an exquisite painting, every stroke is full of details and charm.
The soft texture of beaver meat is like a piece of fine silk sliding in the mouth.
The soft texture reminded her of the pastries her mother made when she was a child. The gentle touch made her feel happy.
As you chew deeper, the flavor of beaver meat gradually releases.
Chen Sisi discovered that this piece of meat was not just salty, but a blend of multiple flavors. First, there was a hint of sweetness, like the natural sweetness contained in beaver meat, which made people linger on the aftertaste.
Then, a faint aroma wafted into the nose, which seemed to be the unique flavor of beaver meat, with a breath of the ocean, making people feel as if they were in the breeze at the seaside.
Then, Chen Sisi felt a slight hint of spiciness. Although it was not strong, it added a sense of excitement to the whole taste.
The spicy taste and the deliciousness of beaver meat are intertwined to form a unique flavor that makes people unable to stop.
Su Ran looked at Chen Sisi's satisfied expression and her heart was filled with joy.
The audience in the live broadcast room were drooling with greed.
"Please, give me some, it's so delicious."
The audience couldn’t eat it, but Su Ran himself could still eat it.
But just as he was about to take some roasted nutria meat, he found that it had disappeared.
"No, where is my meat? Who stole it?" (End of this chapter)
