Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 17 The Magical Use of Spring Water
"Well, I just caught it last night. How do you know it's a wild old turtle, not a bred one?" Liu Junhao was a little curious.

"Brother, what do I do? We specialize in aquatic products. Of course I understand this. The shells of wild turtles are black and slightly yellow-green, while those raised in captivity are all black. This feature is easy to distinguish, eh... this bastard It looks like a word on the back."

"Word?" Liu Junhao moved his head again, "It's like a birthday character."

Although the traces on the turtle shell are not obvious, you can still see that the yellow-green texture is curved, like the traditional script of longevity written in official script.

"Really!" A group of rural men were also amazed.

"Xiaohao, how did you catch him?" Liu Guangju asked at this moment.

"Oh, Xiaopi found this on the river beach..." Liu Junhao narrated the whole process with a little pride. Xiaopi saw that people ignored it, and the unhappy barking screamed and bit Liu Junhao's trouser leg.

After listening to his story about Xiaopi's glorious deeds, a group of men in Liujiagou were once again envious, and there was another sentence in their hearts: dogs are stupid, but smart people are different, and the dogs they raise are more capable than others.

"I bought both the bastard and the fire head. The bastard is estimated to weigh four catties. I will give you 600 yuan based on the highest market price of one hundred and fifty-one catties. The fire head is five hundred. How about a total of one thousand and one?"

"Not for sale, I mainly keep these two things for fun." Liu Junhao is a smart man. When he said the birthday word just now, he clearly saw the unconcealable ecstasy in Wang Shengli's eyes, and then he gave himself the highest price in the market, showing that this bastard It was quite valuable, and he was ready to sell it immediately.

"I'll add another hundred to you. How about two thousand and two?" Seeing his resoluteness, Wang Shengli pretended to be in pain and said.

"Not for sale" Seeing that he simply added 100 yuan upwards, Liu Junhao became more and more sure that this thing was worth a lot of money.

"Xiaohao, don't be ignorant of good and evil. I happened to meet Boss Wang today. He is a generous man. No one will pay such a high price in the future. After passing this village, there will be no such shop." Liu Guangju naturally tried his best to persuade him.

"If you really want one thousand and two pieces of this fire, you can take it away, the old turtle really won't sell it." Liu Junhao said bluntly.

"Hiss..." This group of men all took a deep breath. Liu Junhao's asking price is too ruthless. A fire head weighing more than 30 kilograms wants to sell for 1000 yuan. Just dream, as long as it is a normal person, it will not buy it. .

"Okay, one thousand and two is one thousand and two, but if you want to sell it with this bastard, tell me, how much money are you willing to sell the old turtle?" Wang Shengli gritted his teeth, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and wiped it hard with his foot. few times.

"How about I give you one thousand and two for this bastard?" Seeing that he was silent, Wang Shengli said again.

The group of spectators were completely dumbfounded, the fire was really worth one thousand and two, and even the bastard sold it for a sky-high price.Damn it, this is unreasonable, the money they earn in a day is almost equal to what I earn in a year, and we will also pick up bastards on the river beach in the future.

"The old turtle doesn't sell it, I'm going to make soup myself, it's a great tonic." Liu Junhao just refused to let go.

"Xiaohao, do you have a fever? This old turtle costs more than 1000 yuan. It's a pity to eat it yourself. It's worthless. If you eat it, it will turn into two bubbles of shit at most. Besides, you are young and you are fine. I'm sick, what can I do to make up for it?" Liu Guangju felt sorry for him now, wondering why this young man was so stunned, he didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity.

But I also admire it in my heart, if it were him, I would have sold two things for a thousand and two just now, and now the work has doubled in a while.

"Little brother, tell me the actual price. How much are you willing to sell this bastard? It's not easy for me to go to the mountains. I want to buy more aquatic products to go back." Wang Shengli smoked another cigarette.

"I said I won't sell it,"

……

All morning, a group of people were moaning in his yard, and more and more people surrounded him. Basically, all the idlers in the village came. Well, the end of the village could smell a three-point stench, not to mention such a big event, the commotion was not less than the last time he caught fire.

It's a pity that Liu Junhao is a bastard who eats weights - he is determined, and no one will persuade him to sell.

Seeing that it was noon, Liu Guangju felt a little sorry when he saw that he took other people's things but did not help, so he dragged Wang Shengli to his home for a drink. Of course, he did not forget to grab a lot of beans in the yard when he left .

Basically, when everyone left Liu Junhao's house, they would grab a handful of beans and pick two tomatoes, but Liu Junhao didn't care. They were all villagers from the village who looked up and looked up. Picking some vegetables was not a big deal.

What's more, the bean grows like crazy after being watered by himself with the water from the stone lock. He can't eat so much by himself. It's better to leave it on the branch and let it grow old. It's better to give it to the villagers as a favor Woolen cloth.

Accompanied by Liu Guangju, Wang Shengli came again in the afternoon. This time the price was up to [-] to buy a bastard, but Liu Junhao had no intention of selling it at this moment, and he refused to let go.

In the end, Wang Shengli had to leave his business card and said that he could call him at any time after he figured it out. The price remained the same, and then he left with a face of regret. Of course, he didn't mention the fire again. The price is mainly because I want to pack the two together and buy them. The drunkard’s intention is not to drink, but I can’t buy bastards.

He was also afraid of what to do if he accidentally suffocated the fire in the car, there are still a hundred miles from Liujiagou to the county seat.

Although Wang Shengli left, the aftermath of this incident was far from disappearing, and it even became louder and louder. People from other villages rushed over to see the surprise, which made Liu Junhao tireless.

Unexpectedly, he picked up a golden turtle. Liu Junhao shook his head and threw the old turtle into the stone lock again. Suddenly he was a little dazed again, and saw thin black threads lying densely in the shallow water of the spring. This thing is eel seedlings , I didn't expect so many, there are five or six hundred roots.

The rice field eels I threw into the space before had grown to [-] to [-] centimeters long, and they were particularly fat. It seemed that those small rice field eels should be their eggs.

The rice field eel is different from other fishes. It is female before the first sexual maturity, but it becomes a male again from the second sexual maturity. That is to say, the rice field eel is male or female throughout its life. Being both a mother and a father.

Looking at the total number of small rice field eels in the group, at least there is no need to worry about eating rice field eels all year round. He grabbed a big one at random, weighing almost a catty, and it is really rare to grow so big.

Immediately, he became interested, smashed the big rice field eel to death, gutted it, chopped it up, and prepared to make a braised eel.

First heat the pot and pour in soybean oil, then add the aniseed Chinese prickly ash, the aroma is overflowing immediately, while the pot is hot, add eel and ginger slices into the pot and stir-fry, and finally add dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and bean paste Simmer in water for a few minutes, finally put salt, pour in garlic cloves and beans, and simmer for a while.

Lifting the lid of the pot, the fragrance was overflowing, and it was all over the yard. Xiaopi didn't go to other places to have fun at this time, and looked at Liu Junhao eagerly, waiting to share the fruits of victory.

Yellow eel has less bones and more meat, and it tastes delicious. It can be fried, exploded, fried, or burnt. Liu Junhao has eaten it many times before, but it is definitely not so fragrant. Even the bones are crispy. If it is not for the small skin Protesting below, I'm afraid he doesn't even want to give Xiaopi his bones.

It seems that this spring water is really a good thing, not only can it make the fish grow rapidly, but also make its meat more delicious.

After eating and drinking, Liu Junhao felt particularly comfortable. Ever since he picked up this mysterious stone lock, changes have taken place unconsciously around him.

He also remembered that Boss Wang came during the day, and he didn't know why he would pay such a high price for his old turtle, but he couldn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time.

But in the end, he suddenly thought of one thing, and suddenly became excited. If the large group of eels in his spring grew up, wouldn't it be a lot of money.Rice field eels are also expensive, at 30 yuan a catty.

These hundreds of rice field eels will weigh at least four to five hundred catties when they grow up, and they may be sold for 2 to [-] yuan in the county. Moreover, rice field eels soaked in spring water taste better and may be more valuable.
