Generally, herring is fed with screws, but ordinary fish can't eat screw meat at all, because the head of the screw is too hard to bite, but herring can easily crush the shell of the screw and eat the meat inside. Herring can easily crush Russian food, mainly because it has a stone in its throat, which is very hard. This kind of stone is what we often call herring stone, which is a kind of stone with high collection value and very high market price. A herring weighing several hundred kilograms may sell for about 10,000 yuan when it is dark, so if you catch wild herring in the wild, you'd better not sell it directly, because the herring stone inside is more valuable.
To tell the truth, a herring weighing about 30 kg is actually very small, and its herring core is not very big at all. Moreover, the quality of the herring stone of such a small herring is generally not high, and its value will not be too great. 30 kg of herring stone will not exceed 5 g at most, and the price of such a small herring food is generally the highest in 25 yuan. Therefore, the herring stone it takes is about 30 kilograms.
In fact, it is very simple to take the herring stone, as long as you directly cut the stone at the throat of the herring with a knife. But if you want to polish it into a hanging ornament, you must dry it, so that the herring stone will be more shiny.
I once caught a herring weighing hundreds of pounds. At that time, the herring stone taken from herring weighed about 70 grams, and the quality was very good. At that time, it sold for about 7,000 yuan, with an average price of one gram in 95 yuan. And this weight is still the weight after drying, because herring food can only be sold after drying. If it is fresh, it is actually worthless. Even if it is sold, it may not be able to sell at a high price. Therefore, if you find a big herring in the wild in the future, you'd better not sell it directly as meat, otherwise it will be a loss. what do you think?
First of all, congratulations from Agricultural University. Although herring stone is not so expensive, it is not easy to meet good herring stone, which is relatively rare in northern rural areas. My uncle used to do business in Hunan. He likes to go fishing in the lake often. My cousin got a herring stone when he was young. At that time, he was as happy as a treasure and ran around telling everyone.
Herring stone is also called fish pillow stone. It is said that there are other different names, but they are all the same thing. The herring stone grows in the throat of the herring, just as it helps the fish grind their teeth when eating. Hard food swallowed can be crushed with herring stone to help fish digest it easily.
The reason why herring stone is rare is that it is relatively large, so this kind of useful herring stone is available. It is also called stone because of its hard texture and clear color like jade after processing. In the past, children in rural areas all had herring stones, which were said to prevent children from being frightened. This is just a psychological effect, but it is beautiful and realistic.
As for how to take the herring stone down, the method is actually not complicated. Just be careful not to break it. The herring stone grows in the occipital bone of the fish throat, and its position is obviously prominent, which is a bit like a piece of the heart, which is very different from other things.
Cut the pectoral fin joint of herring with a knife, and try not to touch the herring stone with the knife. Then use a small spoon and other tools to nail the herring core from the fish occipital bone. Because the hardness of herring stone is not high when it is fresh, it should not be damaged when it is taken down.
Don't expose the herring stone to the sun after it is removed. After the herring stone is cleaned, it can be naturally dried in the shade in a relatively dry indoor environment. The herring stone is dried in the shade and processed into other objects, which is also a very good decoration.
Many years ago, when I was working in Agricultural University, a colleague from Jiangxi gave me a piece. Although the color is not very good, it is also a gift from others and has been preserved to this day. The above is the understanding of herring stone by Agricultural University for reference.
My first contact with herring stone was in 2008. Neighbor's children often cry at night. An old woman in the village found a fish stone and gave it to her neighbor.
At that time, I didn't know what a fish scares a stone. Strangely, after the children in the neighborhood put it on, the number of crying at night decreased significantly. Although it can't be completely solved, it has also been greatly improved. At least adults can sleep well at night.
As for why fish scare stones can work, everyone can't understand. It is said that some people use pigs to scare bones, which can have a similar effect, but people still think it is better to scare stones with fish.
Fish shock stone, also known as fish stone, is the most abundant in herring, also known as herring stone. It grows under the occipital bone of herring and is used for keratin hyperplasia caused by crushing hard objects.
In addition to herring, carp throat will also grow fish stones, but the number is small and the shape is not as good as herring.
Everyone should have heard of Goubao, Niuhuang and Zhubao. They are all from animals. Like these things, herring stones are regarded as treasures.
Herring stone is not a stone, its main component is keratin, which looks a bit like jade and amber, just the result of keratin proliferation. Black herring and grass carp have different draughts. It can eat snails, mussels, clams and so on. Most of these aquatic creatures have hard shells. In order to eat these things smoothly, the teeth of black herring must be chewed hard. After a long time, hyperplasia will form above the teeth, and hard-shell food will be easy to chew.
The herring stone doesn't look good when taken out, but it looks more transparent after processing and polishing. In ancient times, some people made herring stone into jewelry to wear.
Some people think that the bigger the herring grows, the more herring stones can grow. Actually, it's a wrong view. Smaller herring can also grow herring stones, only smaller. But in terms of value, the bigger the herring stone, the more valuable it is.
How big is the herring stone? Opinions vary from month to month. Relatively speaking, even if the length and width can reach more than 5 cm, the small herring stone is only about 2 cm. At present, the largest herring stone can reach 10 cm or more. The size is related to the age and weight of herring. For example, for herring under 10 kg, the herring stone is about 2 cm. After being taken out and processed, the weight is only 3 grams, which is not worth much.
There are few herring stones on the market, and they are basically more than 20 kilograms of herring. The bigger the herring, the higher the chance of taking out the herring core. With luck, it is possible to take out 30 to 50 grams of herring core from a herring weighing several hundred kilograms.
It is troublesome to get the herring stone. If you are not careful, you will damage the herring stone. First, take off the head of the herring, and then cut off the pectoral fin of the fish head with larger scissors. You can see that there is a yellowish-white substance in your throat, which is herring stone. At this time, the herring stone is still very soft, and it is easy to be forcibly robbed and damaged. You can pry it down slowly with a spoon and a knife.
The removed fish stones should not be polished in a hurry, but should be dried in the shade in a ventilated environment, and can only be polished after the fish Shi Gan has a certain hardness. In the case of wet weight and dry weight, the weight of herring stone will be very different, and it is good that the fish stone after drying in the shade can reach 60%~70% of the wet weight.
In the wild, it takes about 3 to 4 years for a herring to grow from 1 kg to 20 kg. After 30 kg, the absorbed nutrients will be used to breed offspring, and the weight gain will become slower. Therefore, it is rare for wild herring to reach more than 50 kg.
A 50 kg herring, the wet weight of the herring stone taken out is about 30 grams, and it will be more than 20 grams after drying in the shade. Judging from the market situation, there are many herring stones under 20 grams, which are sold in jewelry shops or online.
The price of herring stone under 5g is relatively cheap, and it can be bought around 10 yuan, so everyone can buy it for fun, and it has no collection value.
10 ~ 20g herring stones are the most popular in the market, with prices ranging from 50 to 200 yuan. You can judge the price according to the weight when you buy it.
20~30 grams of herring stone, the general store supply is relatively small, if consumers need to buy, they need to book in advance, and the price fluctuates greatly, and the price can reach 400~800 yuan.
The price range of 30 ~ 40g herring stone can reach 500~ 1500 yuan due to the small quantity in the market.
40 ~ 50g herring stone, basically only 80 kg or more herring can grow so big. In the wild environment, such a big fish is rare, and it is sheer luck to catch it. Selling herring stone can also earn a good income, and the price is basically maintained at 1000 ~ 3000 yuan.
50 ~ 70g herring stone is rare in the national market. Even vendors who specialize in selling herring stones rarely have one or two pieces, and the price remains at 4000+.
70 grams of herring stone is also rare in the world, and it is also rare to produce one piece a year. Basically, they are bought by professional collectors, and the price is maintained at 6000~8000 yuan.
It can be seen that the herring stone grown by 30 kg of herring is only 20 g after polishing, and the price sold in the market is not very high, just a little higher than that of fish. Pay attention to the method when taking it to avoid damage to the herring stone.
For more rural anecdotes, please pay attention to Sannongtang Guangxun and invite you to pay attention to rural knowledge.
It is estimated that this kind of herring is also the most delicious of the four major fish, but there are not many herring cultivated now. After all, this kind of fish is so delicious. In the past, they were all farmed in rural reservoirs and fish ponds, but in recent years, there have been few herring farmed here. Generally, the reproductive efficiency of this kind of herring is not very high. When it has real commercial value, it often takes a long time to feed it. So now, based on the issues of cost and commercialization,
Black herring, our family's name is "Luoqing", and we know from its name that it likes to eat snails. Because black herring also loves to eat snails, it is generally not eaten in the early stage, because there is no so-called proliferation and stones in the mouth of black herring at this time. This is also what we often say. Black herring stone is also the proliferation of black herring, and it is generally used to crush snails when eating snails. Little herring doesn't have this kind of herring stone, only when it grows above 10. When the herring weighs about 3 kg, it can eat about 3-4 kg of snails a month, and when it grows to 5-6 kg, it can eat more than 10 kg a month, and some even more. The bigger the herring, the more snails it eats.
The subject said that it is also very simple to take out the herring stone. In the past, some people only ate fish meat when buying herring, and then threw away the fish head. Later, it was too late to know. Generally, this kind of herring stone will only be found when it is more than 10 kg, but the herring stone above 10 kg is not very big, that is, it is as big as the thumb, like the herring of 30 kg mentioned by the topic. If you want to take it out, you can find the position of the head after killing the herring. In its throat under the occipital bone, you can find a soft tissue like a fish tongue, which is a little yellow. Usually just take it out with a knife. After taking it out, it can be cleaned, exposed, dried and polished. In our hometown, it is also called "fish scare stones".
My lover's cousin once caught a herring of more than 50 kilograms in the small water pool in the mountain pond over there and got pieces of herring stones. He got the treasure and was overjoyed! Fish were distributed to the villagers. Herring stone has different names in different places. We call it a fish-scaring stone, but it is not a real stone. It is used to help crush the horniness of hard food, such as snails in the throat of herring. Generally, it is only found in wild herring weighing more than 10 kg, and the bigger the fish, the bigger the stone.
Fresh herring stone is yellow and tender, hard as stone after drying, crystal clear and moist as jade, and is regarded as a treasure in many Hakka areas. Folk people tied it to children's wrists with a string, which is said to have the functions of exorcising evil spirits, preventing children from being frightened and taking Fu Na Lu Na, so it is also called fish to scare stones.
After careful polishing, the herring stone looks like amber beeswax, which makes people fondle it, so it is sought after by many collectors. That's why some people are willing to buy big herring at a high price.
How to take out the herring stone? We can take it out with scissors and a small spoon. Cutting the joint of herring head and pectoral fin along the chest with scissors can ensure that herring stone will not be hurt. Break the big joint of the pectoral fin, so that you can see the herring stone on the upper part of the fish occipital bone.
Pry the herring stone off the occipital bone with a spoon. This step is actually the most critical step. The hardness of fresh herring stone is relatively low, and it is easy to hurt herring stone by improper prying, forming cracks and scratches, so it is very important to find the right tools. The radian of stainless steel spoon just fits the radian of herring stone, which can be skillfully pried open without hurting herring stone, which is much more suitable than using tools such as knives and scissors.
I am @ Focus Fengshun to share different wonderful villages for you! Welcome to pay attention to support!
Seeing this topic reminds me of the clear fish in the reservoir at the end of last year, because our village is very close to a small reservoir in the town, and it will be salvaged every 2-3 years. One is to protect the ecological problems of the reservoir, and the other is to benefit the villagers. The end of last year coincided with fishing. The villagers all ran over early, and three fishing boats went down, but the harvest was full in one morning. Because my father was among them, he took a big Qing Wu of nearly 60 kilograms, and he just asked someone to carry it back, as big as mine. I wonder why fish can grow so big. My dad said it wasn't that bad, and the biggest one was 100 kg!
What is herring stone, as the title says? At that time, I didn't understand it, but I saw my father show me two soft pebbles, almost half the size of a palm, but some of them were transparent and beautiful. I thought he picked it up from the reservoir and told me it was from a fish. He also said that these two stones are more expensive than fish, and they were taken out of the fish's throat. Not enough time, but it is not a "balance treasure"!
Black herring is one of the four largest freshwater fish in China. Its main breeding area is south of the Yangtze River, and its size is relatively large, with a maximum length of about 140 kg. According to the author's understanding, herring has high requirements for living environment, mainly living in relatively large rivers and deep lakes. Most of us locals are raised in lakes with relatively good ecological environment and no industrial and agricultural pollution. Its nutritional value is very rich, its size is relatively large and its nutritional value is relatively high. It contains many vitamins needed by human body, and belongs to the fish with the best quality, the highest nutritional value and the most delicious meat among the four major fish. It is precisely because of the high nutritional value of herring that the price of herring in the market is still relatively high, which is favored by farmers and consumers.
I believe many people have never heard of herring stone. Herring stone refers to the horniness proliferation in the throat of herring, which can help herring digest some hard foods better, such as snails and lions. I have also seen herring stone, the overall shape is relatively crystal clear, and it feels particularly like jade or emerald, which is deeply liked by some people. In Song Dynasty, Su Shi once described the herring stone in Ode to the Fish Pillow Crown, saying, "You should treasure the fish pillow crown and see the first thing." The fish pillow here refers to the herring stone, which shows that people noticed the existence of the herring stone before the Song Dynasty. I read in an old book that herring stones can prevent children from being frightened. What's more, people think it has the function of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. This statement lacks certain basis and is unconvincing. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is reasonable to use herring stone to relieve shock. It has always been said that horns and antelope horns can relieve shock.
The title says that I bought a 30-catty herring and found a herring stone, which is actually quite lucky. At present, the market price of herring stone is considerable. The author found herring stone when cultivating herring stone, and its specific processing steps are as follows: first, remove herring stone from herring. In fact, herring stone is just a layer of keratin. If you take it improperly, it is likely to be damaged. It is very important to choose the right tools to take. Generally, a spoon is selected to avoid damage to the overall shape of the herring stone. The second is rough machining. After the herring stone is taken down, it is usually left for a few days, and then it is taken down after it condenses into gel, and then the steps such as preliminary cleaning, cementing protection, shaping and rough grinding are carried out. The third is sorting out. Finishing here mainly refers to finishing, fine grinding and fine polishing, and its main purpose is to make its shape more scientific and technological. Just be careful not to let other substances damage the overall shape of herring stone, and then after careful polishing, its overall value will naturally come up.
The market price of herring stone is around 25 yuan/g -40 yuan/g, and the overall price is quite high. The price of completed herring stone will be higher, but the corresponding risks will be greater. At present, the main factors that can affect the price of herring stone in the market are appearance quality, thickness difference and size. The relationship between the price and the above factors is still relatively large, and there may be herring stones with very low prices, mainly based on the local market price. At present, herring stone is also sold as a commodity, and the overall price and quality are also very different. You need to spend more time when you buy it. Don't be cheated.
I think we need a way. 30 Jin of herring was lucky to find the herring stone. Generally, herring stones weighing more than 65,438+000 kg have large herring stones. Small is basically useless, too small to put jewelry.
I think we should prepare a pair of scissors and a big spoon. First kill the herring, then wash it and cut off its head with scissors. Then gently cut his fish breast with scissors, not too hard, and be careful not to wear the herring stone. The composition and mechanism of fish head can be seen after cutting. At this time, you can basically see a yellow spot, and the herring stone is on the occiput of the fish. At this time, you need to pry the herring core off with a spoon. What you should pay attention to is to find a gap and a suitable position to cut in. If you feel hard, you can use a knife. Find a suitable radian and angle to prevent wear, so that it will fall off with a little force.
I think the most important thing to take herring stone is to prevent wear, because it needs polishing in the later stage. Have you learned?
The earliest known herring stone was at the age of seven or eight. At that time, there was a large reservoir in the local area that needed to be rebuilt, so in the dry season of winter, water was released to repair the gate and slope protection levee. This reservoir was built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and has not been drained for decades. After drainage, people fished out a very large herring, which is as big as a door panel and is said to weigh 100 kilograms. Take out a herring stone the size of a child's fist from the fish head. People were just surprised and curious at that time. It is said to be used to ward off evil spirits, but it doesn't say how much economic value it has. I just saw it from a distance, and I don't know whose it is!
Black carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp are the four major fish and the best freshwater fish species. These fish are mainly farmed together. Because they live in different water layers and eat different foods, they are very suitable for people to mix fish!
What is more interesting here is that herring is similar to grass carp, and many people are stupid and confused. The biggest difference between them is that they have different body colors because they eat different foods and live in different waters. Black herring inhabits the bottom of the water and feeds on aquatic organisms such as snails and mussels, belonging to a "carnivorous" fish; Grass carp mainly eats grass, which is called grass carp as the name suggests. Because of their different eating habits and living environment, the body surface of grass carp has bright, white and Huang San colors; Herring is dark blue or light black. You can see the characteristics of both sides at a glance by looking at the colors.
So now people are farming less and less herring, mainly because the food source of herring is a big problem. Without sufficient food sources, it is necessary to invest a lot of screws and other foods to breed herring. Without food support, the naturally growing herring grows too slowly.
Because herring eats snails, which are mollusks with shells, it needs to be able to "bite" the shells of mollusks to eat "meat". Therefore, in natural evolution, herring produces a hard "fish tongue" at the throat of fish, which is used to squeeze the shells of snails together to enjoy delicious food.
Later, after being discovered by people, the economic value of its "fish tongue" began to be developed and utilized. Because this "fish tongue" is as hard as a stone and is produced in herring, it is called herring stone. The bigger this herring is in Yue Shi, the more valuable it is. Generally, herring takes three years to form.
For example, the herring bought by the subject in the countryside, the herring weighing more than 30 kilograms, are generally cultured herring, and there are herring stones. The size and quality are good or bad, and the herring core needs to be taken out. Right in the throat of the fish head, gently peel off the fish head and take it out!
As the first of the four major fish in China, herring is very diverse in nature, and mainly feeds on small aquatic animals such as small fish, shrimp and snails. The rest of the prices are not too expensive, generally around a catty in 6 yuan. Before herring, it was not because the meat was shallow, but because the head of herring contained a kind of stone called herring stone, and some of them were also called fish shock stone. The main reason is that when the herring stone chews snails on the occipital bone of the herring head, the stratum corneum gradually hardens. Generally, only herring weighing more than 10 kg has this ability to eat snails, mainly by crushing snails with the occipital bone of the head.
For a 30 kg herring bought in the countryside, it can be said that it is a relatively large herring, which has grown for at least 10 years. Of course, herring grows very fast, and some herring weigh as much as 100 kg, which is a relatively large fish species. It can be said that this big herring bought by the subject contains herring stone, and this fish should be able to eat about 10 kg of snails every month. So the head of this herring contains herring stones as big as quail eggs. Of course, for big herring, the bigger the herring stone, the better, especially the head of herring weighing more than 100 kg, which can be sold for more than 6000 yuan at the current market price, but herring is not as valuable as herring stone, and can only be sold for about 1000 yuan.
The method of taking out the herring stone is simple. We must know the location of the herring stone, that is, a small round or oval stone that doesn't look too bright and doesn't weigh too much near the head and throat. We can take out this small stone, which is what we call herring stone. The herring stone is mainly the head of herring weighing more than 10 kg, which is relatively hard. You can find this herring stone at the throat of the herring. The jadeite needs to be polished to show a smoother color. It is often used as a pendant in rural areas, mainly to prevent children from being frightened or ward off evil spirits. Of course, now it is deeply loved by urban people, and many people begin to trade herring stone as a commodity, and the price is also rising.
In short, for some people who like to eat herring, they need to know another valuable thing about herring, that is, herring stone, which is often called shock fish stone in rural areas, because such shock fish stone is generally used to ward off evil spirits in rural areas. And the bigger the herring, the bigger the herring Yue Shi, the more valuable it is. The method of taking out the herring lion is very simple, that is, taking it out from the head of the herring. The herring stone is hard and can be taken out at will without special care. After being taken out and polished, it becomes a beautiful pendant with a very bright color.
