"Old turtle!" Fang Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the eel cage could actually be used as an old turtle.

Next to the eel cage, I saw an old turtle clinging to the exit of the eel cage, biting the plastic sheet at the exit. It was obviously attracted by the smell of loach and stinky mud. Just looking at the size of the old turtle, this old turtle was at least three-dimensional.

It weighs a lot and is not particularly big, but it is at least about three years old.

Wild turtles are different from farmed turtles in that they grow more slowly. Generally, farmed turtles can reach about three kilograms in two years, but wild turtles can reach the weight in three or even four years.

It is called old turtle, which is also a dialect. The scientific name of this thing is soft-shelled turtle. It is said that soft-shelled turtle has the taste of five animals: chicken, cow, deer, pig and fish, so it is also called five-flavored meat.

Patients with hepatitis are not suitable to eat soft-shelled turtles because their digestion and absorption functions are greatly weakened due to edema of the gastric mucosa, thickening and shortening of small intestinal villi, and imbalance of bile secretion.

Soft-shell turtle is rich in protein, which is not only difficult for patients with hepatitis to absorb, but also increases the burden on the liver. In severe cases, liver cells will undergo massive necrosis, and serum bilirubin will increase sharply, causing an increase in plasma concentration and inducing hepatic coma.

Therefore, you have to pay attention to what you eat. If you eat blindly with your eyes narrowed, you will suffer from eating problems.

When Fang Yuan approached, the old turtle was still biting the plastic sheet. Now it was too late to run away. Fang Yuan picked him up and caught him right away.

This thing is fierce and cruel. If it bites you, it will not let go at all. Even if you chop off its head, it will still bite you. It is cruel and painful, so there are skills in catching things like old turtles.

of.

There are two dimples where the two hind legs of the old turtle meet on the back of the abdomen, which can be grasped by the thumbs and index fingers of both hands. After the old turtle comes out of the water, it will struggle desperately, tilt its head back, open its big mouth and bite back, but

Because the back is its blind spot, it can't bite it no matter how hard it tries.

Easily holding the two hollows of the old turtle, Fang Yuan lifted the old turtle out of the water. Sure enough, as soon as the thing came out of the water, it began to struggle violently. Unfortunately, after a long time of effort, even Fang Yuan's hand hair could not touch it.

root.

Fang Yuan also didn't expect that there would be such a harvest from collecting eel cages. No matter what era it is, the old turtle is a good nourishing food. If you take it to the Mining Bureau, you will definitely not have to worry about selling it.

When the other cages were put away, the eels in the two bamboo baskets were crowded with each other. Not even the faint of heart, including people with trypophobia, would definitely get sick after just one glance.

For Sulu culture, it is like a wriggling tentacle, which is indescribably terrifying.

The two brothers hurried home, first put the eel into a bucket, poured water on it, and roughly weighed it. The eel weighed nearly 80 kilograms, the river shrimp weighed 20 kilograms, and the loach weighed 25 kilograms, adding up to 100 kilograms.

Twenty pounds.

When Fang Yuan walked back, his legs were shaking a little. Fortunately, Lao Liu shared the burden a little, otherwise it would have been really fatal all the way back. He had to find a way to find someone to get a waterwheel or something, otherwise he would have to rely on himself alone.

Carrying it is too tiring.

Fang Wen didn't need Fang Yuan to tell him, he just rushed to borrow a bicycle, but he always ran to borrow a bicycle in the early morning, that is, Secretary Wei had a good temper, otherwise Lao Liu would be killed by a bear.

Because I had made an agreement with Secretary Wei before, the sixth child pushed the car back when he got there. Fang Yuan left a few kilograms of eels and river shrimps at home. He couldn't just sell the things he made at home, right? The family couldn't do that

Eat something good!?

Fang Yuan also didn't want to be a filthy person. He was not a sericulture farmer. Life could always get better and better. It would be foolish to put the cart before the horse and make his family suffer in order to make money.

The two brothers tied up the big bucket and pushed it all the way to the Mining Bureau.

It was almost six o'clock when we arrived at the place today. As soon as Fang Yuan put down his things, someone gathered around him. Fang Yuan was so frightened that he thought he had been discovered. Someone was waiting for him.

It turned out to be a false alarm. It turned out that a few people bought the eel yesterday. When they went back to eat it, it tasted really good. We usually only eat chicken, duck and fish. No matter how good the taste is, it will just be the same if we eat too much.

Monopterus eel is a truly rare thing, and no one usually sells it. To put it bluntly, it is because the effort to catch this thing is not proportional to the reward. Now it is not allowed to be sold, so even if you have the intention, you have to be brave.

The eel drills into a hole. If you want to catch it, the only way to catch it is to dig out the hole. But how much can you dig out in a day? It is a waste of energy. People will starve faster when the time comes. It is not worth it just to eat for themselves.

With the support of regular customers, Fang Yuan's business went faster. In less than half an hour, most of the eels were sold. At this moment, a figure appeared.

"Brother, have you left any eels for me today?" The visitor was none other than Hu Jiahao, who had ordered eels from Fang Yuan before.

When Fang Yuan saw it was Hu Jiahao, he immediately smiled and said, "I must have left it for you. Look, they are all fresh and alive!"

"Okay, okay, it's much bigger today, much bigger than yesterday." Hu Jiahao was very satisfied with the eels left by Fang Yuan, and immediately counted the banknotes and prepared to pay to pick up the goods.

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and immediately said, "Brother, I have a good thing, I don't know if you want it."

"Good stuff? What good stuff?" Hu Jiahao asked curiously.

Fang Yuan waved to Fang Wen who was hiding in the corner, and Fang Wen immediately ran over, opening a washbasin in his arms, and inside was the old turtle that Fang Yuan touched in the morning.

"Ha! Old turtle!" Hu Jiahao's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Okay, buddy, this stuff is good and a great supplement. What price do you want?"

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said sincerely, "The food must be good, but I have to tell you something. Lao Turtle, this food is very tonic, but people with hepatitis cannot eat it. In addition, pregnant women cannot eat it. My sister-in-law has not finished giving birth."

Well, it can be used as a tonic, but if your sister-in-law has postpartum diarrhea or a bad gastrointestinal condition, then she can’t eat it, so you should think more about it before buying it."

Fang Yuan had opened a clinic all his life in his previous life. Not to mention compared with the doctors in those big hospitals, he still had clear knowledge about food and nutrition.

Hu Jiahao smiled and said, "You are indeed an honest person. Don't worry, I didn't give this turtle to my wife, but to my father-in-law. He works in the mine. Although he says he has no shortage of food and drink on weekdays, this kind of good thing is after all

"Master, I'll give it to him to try."

"That's it." Fang Yuan showed a smile on his face, thought for a moment and said, "I haven't sold this thing before, just give it to me if you see it."

When Fang Yuan said this, Hu Jiahao felt a little embarrassed. He dug into his pockets. He just ordered five kilograms of eel and ten kilograms of river shrimp. Fang Yuan gave him a discount and charged him eight yuan in total.

.

Now he only has two yuan left in his pocket. He wants to buy an old turtle with two yuan, but it's not enough. The pork is still only 70 cents. Can three pounds of pork be exchanged for an old turtle?

"Brother, I really don't have any cash. How about I pay you with a ticket? Why don't you wait for me and I'll go home and get the money?" Hu Jiahao took something out of another pocket and found a small wad of zero and zero.

ticket.

"Just tickets, they can be exchanged for money anyway." Fang Yuan said with a smile, he didn't dislike tickets, he couldn't live without them when buying things now, tickets are genuine and can be used as money.

"It's all for you." Seeing Fang Yuan's openness, Hu Jiahao couldn't be stingy, so he simply gave all the tickets to Fang Yuan, and then said, "Don't worry about it, just treat it as a friend."

Fang Yuan was originally going to count the tickets, but the ticket sellers outside the grocery store had a bit high prices. Unless he had to use it, Fang Yuan would definitely not waste his money. Now that Hu Jiahao came to his door, it was just right.

.

After receiving all kinds of votes, Fang Yuan said with a smile, "Brother, you are just like a scalper, how do you have so many votes in your hand?"

Hu Jiahao said nonchalantly, "Hey, it's because of work. By the way, you're from around here, right? Do you know Shenmu Mountain?"

Fang Yuan said, "As you said, there is no one around Jianghuai who doesn't know about Shenmu Mountain."
