Chapter 1803: [Side Story] parasite

Translator: 549690339

Middle-aged and elderly people like welder Zhao were often very stubborn. Once they had decided on something, it was difficult to believe other things … They couldn’t be blamed. Maybe when Zhang Zian and his generation grew older, they would be even more stubborn than this generation of middle-aged and elderly people.

Welder Zhao was sure that there were no parasites in the sas.h.i.+mi he ate. The reason was simple. Everyone ate the same way, and they were all fine. He heard that young people especially liked to go to j.a.panese restaurants to eat sas.h.i.+mi and sus.h.i.+. He had never heard of anyone having an accident.

Everyone’s fine, so I’m fine too. Actually, a lot of people think this way. It’s right in most cases, but to put it bluntly, many things are just a matter of probability. You won’t be able to win the lottery, but you might be the unlucky one.

Electrician Wu was skeptical. He also felt that if eating raw fish slices could cause an accident, then how many people in the country would be in an accident?

Zhang Zian knew that he couldn’t convince welder Zhao with words alone, and he wasn’t 100% confident, so he said,””Master Zhao, I’m just saying that it’s possible. It’s easy to confirm it. Go to the hospital and get a proper examination. Don’t think that you have stomach cancer just from the results of the gastroscopy.”

When welder Zhao heard that, he asked him to go for a checkup again. He refused to go, and electrician Wu was so angry that he almost tied him up and forced him to go to the hospital.

“How about this, master Zhao? I won’t force you if you don’t want to go to the hospital, but I heard that you bought a few fish. Have you finished them?” Zhang Zian adopted a roundabout strategy.

“No, those fish are quite big. I’ve frozen the unfinished ones in the refrigerator. Do you want to try them?” Welder Zhao asked.

“There’s no need to taste it. But if my suspicion is correct, we should be able to find the eggs or larvae of the parasites in the fish … Do you have a magnifying gla.s.s at home?”

“A magnifying gla.s.s? He often uses a magnifying gla.s.s to light a fire, and every time he does so, he pees on the bed … Let old Wu get it for you. ” Welder Zhao pouted at electrician Wu.

Zhang Zian left the bedroom with electrician Wu. The latter went to ask for a magnifying gla.s.s, while the former went straight to the kitchen and rummaged through the freezing chamber in the refrigerator for fish.

After a while, when Zhang Zian took out a few pieces of fish that were hard enough to kill a dog, electrician Wu also came in with a magnifying gla.s.s.

The two of them cut a few pieces of meat from the fish with a knife and thawed them in water.

After another ten minutes, when the meat softened, Zhang Zian took a magnifying gla.s.s and searched the surface of the fish.

“Did you find it?” Electrician Wu asked impatiently. His presbyopia really couldn’t help, so he could only watch from the side.

This was a meticulous job. After looking through it, Zhang Zian’s eyes were sore, but he did not find what he suspected.

He shook his head.

Electrician Wu sighed in disappointment. Although eating a parasite was disgusting, it was better than getting cancer.”I think it’s better to persuade Lao Zhao to go to the hospital.”

Zhang Zian thought for a moment.”I’ll look for it again.”

“How do we find him?” Electrician Wu was puzzled.

Zhang Zian cut the fish vertically.”Maybe the eggs on the surface were soaked in water.”

After the fish was cut open, the number of slices increased from a few to more than ten. The workload was even heavier.

“I found it!”

He was so excited that his spittle sprayed on the magnifying gla.s.s.”It’s an egg … No, a larva!”

“Ah? Let me see!”

Electrician Wu was shocked. He quickly put his head in front of the magnifying gla.s.s and squinted his eyes.”Which one is?”

Zhang Zian took a match and pointed it at a small translucent spot in the fish.”See this? This is the SAC that contains the larvae. ”

“No, no, I have to get my gla.s.ses. Wait for me.”

Electrician Wu rushed to the living room and borrowed a pair of reading gla.s.ses from someone. Anyway, reading gla.s.ses didn’t have a specific requirement on the degree. It was fine as long as the degree was about the same.

During this time, Zhang Zian found several similar sacs on other fish.

Electrician Wu came back with his reading gla.s.ses. Even with the help of the gla.s.ses, it took him a lot of effort to see what the bug sac looked like. Because the bug sac was too small and translucent, it was very well hidden against the pink muscle fiber background.

No matter if it was the head chef in the restaurant or the husband and wife at home, no one would use a magnifying gla.s.s to observe the fish when cooking.

“It’s really a bug …” Electrician Wu took a deep breath.

Zhang Zian asked electrician Wu to find a needle and a pair of tweezers. He picked out one of the larvae and placed it on the table. He asked electrician Wu to hold the magnifying gla.s.s for him. He used two needles to Pierce the SAC and opened it, finally revealing the larvae that were curled up inside.

Although the larvae were small when they curled up, they were about one or two centimeters long after their heads and tails were straightened. Even in such a state, as long as one did not look closely, one would think that they were a small section of white cotton thread.

“Is this bug Dead or Alive?”

Electrician Wu felt nauseated. Luckily, he didn’t eat the fish with welder Zhao. Otherwise, if he ate it and saw the bug again, he would have vomited the food he had last night.

“Dead.” Zhang Zian replied.

“Dead … Dead bug … It should be fine to eat it, right?” Electrician Wu asked.

Zhang Zian shook his head.”It’s dead now because it froze to death in the refrigerator. It should be alive before it was frozen.”

“This kind of worm may be a heterodermore, which is widely distributed in salt.w.a.ter fish, especially red snappers, which are also found in salmon. Do you know why they are called ‘heterodermore’? First, because they look like cotton, and second, because their heads are very sharp, especially able to drill into the human stomach. After entering the human body, they will drill into the human stomach and absorb Human Nutrition, excrement, and dead insects, which will cause allergic reactions in people, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Are the symptoms the same as master Zhao ‘s?”

Electrician Wu’s eyes were wide open, and he couldn’t say a word. After a while, he finally said,””Luckily, my family never eats these foreign fish …”

“There’s also this in the body of domestic fish such as hairtails, but hairtails are very safe. No one will eat hairtails raw. It’s no problem when they’re cooked. It’s just a supplement for protein. Out of sight, out of mind.” Zhang Zian spread out his hands.”The salmon that ordinary people buy from e-commerce and supermarkets are fine. Even if they make it into sas.h.i.+mi, it’s fine because those salmon are frozen and transported here. This kind of insect can’t survive for more than two days at-18 degrees Celsius.”

“But old Zhao …”

“Master Zhao’s problem is that the fish he bought are all rare species. They were air-flown from j.a.pan, not frozen, because freezing will ruin the original taste of the fish. People who eat such fish are more particular about this. j.a.panese food is popular now, and j.a.panese food can’t be eaten without sas.h.i.+mi and sus.h.i.+, so I never go to those high-end j.a.panese restaurants that claim that their seafood is frozen … Of course, one reason is that no one is treating me.”
