"It's just that the artificially farmed rice field eels have sufficient nutrient supply and different strains, so the body length alone can no longer be used as the basis for judgment. Instead, judging by age is more accurate than judging by length."

In fact, apart from this, there are still certain differences in appearance between male and female eels.

The head of the female eel is generally small and not raised, while the color of the sides of the human body gradually becomes lighter from top to bottom, and the brown spots on the top are fine and dense, and the distribution is very even.

Moreover, the abdomen of the female eel is also light yellow or light cyan, and the abdominal muscles are thin. During the breeding season, hold the female eel with your hands and turn the abdomen upward, and you can see the swelling in front of the anus, which is slightly transparent.

Female eels are generally not good at jumping and escaping, and their temperament is milder.

The heads of male eels are relatively larger and slightly bulging.

Their abdomens are khaki, and the larger ones may even appear orange-red.The belly is also less distended when facing upwards.

But... There is also a very peculiar species among the eels, that is, the white eel.

Hearing Li Yuan say 'white eel', everyone in the live broadcast room became interested again.

Studio.

"White eel?! Is it also a kind of eel?"

"Are there any white eels? Why haven't I seen..."

"White eel? Is it the so-called albino eel?"

"It should be, don't many animals have albinism?"

In the animal world, many animals have white species, which is due to the rare animal albinism. Therefore, when everyone hears about white eels, the first reaction is to think that eels have albinism, so white eels appear.

But Li Yuan shook his head.

Obviously, the white eel he said obviously didn't mean the same thing as what everyone said.

"You may have misunderstood it. The so-called white eel is actually just a kind of eel. The scientific name of white eel is also called eel, also known as river eel."

"White eel is a kind of downriver migratory squid. They are all born in the sea and grow up in rivers. They are named white eel because of their white abdomen. In fact, there are relatively few in the northeast. It is generally seen in coastal areas and river areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces."

Studio.

"So it is."

"Misunderstood, I thought the white eel was an albino eel."

"Then what's the difference between these two eels?"

"We have white eels here! But the price is much more expensive than rice eels."

"That's necessary, ginseng in water is not called for nothing, and it's normal for the price to be more expensive!"

"Ginseng in water? This name is fine!"

"Dare to compete with our Northeast ginseng? Is this white eel so famous?"

"It's really famous."

"Why don't I know about white eels..."

"Maybe...it's because you don't live in the coastal areas. Anyway, we all know white eels on the seaside here. When the prices of white eels and rice field eels are the highest, there can be a difference of 71 catties. Make up your own mind..."

"Damn it! It's sixty or seventy?! How much does this white eel cost?!"

"So much difference!?"

Li Yuan: "The price of rice field eels is mainly based on the weight. The smaller the number, the lower the price, and the higher the number, the higher the price. If I remember correctly... the highest unit price of rice field eels that are more than 31 taels should be at Forty or so, even the cheapest rice field eel should sell for [-] catties."

"So based on this price, the price of the white eel should be able to sell for 100 yuan a catty."

Studio.

"What the hell?"

"It's too exaggerated!"

"One hundred and one catties?!"

"Mine...it's too scary."

"Damn, this white eel is so valuable? One hundred and one catty? Is anyone buying it?!"

"Of course someone bought it! And there's still a price but no market!"

"It is necessary, white eel is very nutritious, and the market is also very good!"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, rice field eels and white eels are very nutritious, especially white eels, which have always been very popular fish."

"And the title of 'water ginseng' for white eel is really derived from this."

"White eel is rich in protein and fat, and its fish meat is also rich in vitamin A and vitamin E, which are very important for maintaining normal visual function and epithelial tissue morphology of the human body, maintaining normal human sexual function, etc. effect."

"And in traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that white eel has the function of tonifying deficiency, strengthening body, dispelling wind and killing insects, and can prevent tuberculosis, rheumatism, night blindness, and weakness of men and women."

"Because the adult white eel can grow to about 60 centimeters in length and has great strength, it is also known as one of the new Cantonese cuisine 'vicious seafood', and it is one of the rare fish that many people like to eat."

"Although rice field eels are not as nutritious as white eels, they are still very nutritious fish."

"The eel meat is tender and delicious, with high nutritional value. Eel is also rich in DHA and lecithin. These two substances are the main components of the cell membranes of various organs and tissues of the human body, and are indispensable nutrients for brain cells."

"There is also the special substance 'salin' contained in rice field eel, which has a good function of lowering blood sugar, so eel has a good therapeutic effect on diabetes."

"Plus its meat contains very little fat, so it's also good for diabetics."

"There is also the vitamin A I mentioned in the white eel nutrition, which is also very rich in the white eel."

"However... although rice field eels are produced all year round, the rice field eels before and after Slight Heat taste the most plump. There is a folk saying that 'Swamp eels in Slight Heat are better than ginseng'."

Studio.

"This is too exaggerated..."

"The nutrition of the white eel is so high?"

"The nutrition of the rice field eel is also good! It's just that this thing is creamy and greasy. I haven't tried it for so many years."

"Actually, it's okay, rice field eels basically don't need to be dealt with."

"I dare not eat."

"Isn't this nutritious too?"

"My god, ginseng in water? More than 100 yuan a catty?! It's worth it, it's so worth it!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Well, white eels are indeed quite valuable, but the quantity is relatively small. If it is also supplemented with nutrition, in fact, rice field eels are also good in terms of nutrition and taste."

"And the eel is not only a delicacy for the banquet, but its meat, blood, head, and skin all have certain medicinal value."

"This kind of fish is especially effective in nourishing blood, nourishing qi, reducing inflammation, disinfecting, and removing rheumatism. Moreover, the eel meat is sweet and warm in nature, and has the effect of nourishing the middle and blood, and curing deficiency."

"Among the folks, there are actually many folk prescriptions about rice field eels, which are used as medicine to treat some symptoms such as fatigue cough, damp and hot body itching, hemorrhoids, intestinal wind hemorrhoids, and deafness."

"Furthermore, calcining the head of the rice field eel into ashes, and then taking it with warm wine on an empty stomach, can also cure women's hard and painful breast nucleus."

"Its bones are used as medicine, and it can also treat ecchymosis, and the curative effect is quite remarkable."
