Little wife, she is full of happiness

The old turtle is what ordinary people call a soft-shelled turtle.

High in protein and high in nutritional value, it is a great supplement!

Today is also a good time to catch old turtles.

Many people in the village also caught the old turtles and kept them in the water, and when they went to the town to buy fertilizer, they sold them to people in other restaurants along the way.

An old turtle weighs two or three catties for the small ones, and five or six catties for the big ones.

The cheapest old turtles in the restaurant cost more than ten yuan a catty, and if they are big, they can sell for 31 catties!
Lin Chengyang also put the tricycle aside and followed Xia Xiaoruo.He asked her, "Slow down, you just fell into the water two days ago, why did you come to the river again?"

Xia Xiaoruo's calf was buried in the river water, her eyes were fixed on the water surface, hersed, and she lowered her voice and said to Lin Chengyang, "Hush your voice, when I catch a few old turtles, we'll go to town and sell them!"

"Catch the old turtle?!"

Lin Chengyang was taken aback.

Everyone in the village knows that the old turtle can sell for money.

But old turtles are not easy to catch. If you can catch them, no one in the village needs to farm, so why not catch them?
He was not willing to discourage Cousin Xiaoruo's enthusiasm, and coaxed her, "Why don't we catch some rice field eels! This thing can also be sold for money."

Xia Xiaoruo said without raising her head, "We caught eels without a basket!"

Moreover, the eel is too fishy.

It can't be sold at a high price, and catching a dozen eels is not worth catching one old turtle.

It is still beneficial to catch old turtles.

Lin Chengyang couldn't persuade him, and he wouldn't persuade him any more.

With a plan in mind, Xia Xiaoruo began to walk along the river to the bridge hole.

When she walked to the river just now, she felt that she had a special ability.

She can sense the position of birds in the forest, golden pheasants, hens digging in the ground, even big carp, small crucian carp and loach in the water.

Of course, there is also the old turtle.

If she wanted to, she could capture all the big turtles around who could buy the price!

But one is enough for her.

She can't do things like exhausting the pond and destroying the ecological environment.

Following the sensed position, she walked under the bridge hole and began to scrape the mud between the two stones by the river.

It's you, baby!
The silt was black, and the sand got into the nails. It was uncomfortable to wrap her hands, but she didn't think it was dirty at all, so she tried her best to pull it out.

One, two, three—

Not long after pawing, my fingers suddenly touched something hard.

It's the shell of an old turtle!

The old turtle stretched its neck to bite people. She held the shell in one hand and held the belly in the other, avoiding the range of the old turtle's mouth, and pulled the old turtle out at once.

"Out!"

When I pulled it, my hand felt a little heavy. When I came out of the water holding the old turtle, Xia Xiaoruo exclaimed excitedly, "Look, it's so big!"

Holding the old turtle and looking at the sun, it turned out to be a mother!It's about the size of a football!
Lin Chengyang was also shocked, and took the old turtle to have a look, "Hey, it must weigh four or five catties!"

Unexpectedly, Cousin Xiao Ruo was able to catch a big turtle weighing four to five catties as soon as she made a move!

The bigger the turtle is, the more valuable it is. This old turtle can be sold for 20 yuan a catty. If it is calculated as four catties, it can also be sold for 80 yuan!
Get rich!

Most of the people who catch fish here are children.

The adults are busy working in the fields and watering the wheat. It is the time for the seedlings to grow, but it has not rained for almost a month.

Whoever dares not to water the field will not have a good harvest!

A group of children heard what was going on at Xia Xiaoruo's side, and they all gathered around to watch, and even reached out to touch the old turtle's shell.

"What a big old turtle! Brother Cheng Yang, you are going to get rich!"

"Did you catch it here?"

A group of children surrounded him and asked him to teach him how to catch the old turtle.

Xia Xiaoruo squatted down again, and continued to put her hand between the two stones.

A female turtle is hidden so deep, maybe there is something good inside!
Touch and touch.

Sure enough, my fingertips touched something round and slippery.

Got it!

Carefully take out those round things——

"This is... a bastard?"

Lin Chengyang was shocked.

That thing is not as big as a quail egg, it is round, and the eggshell is translucent, and it looks quite thin at first glance.

Xia Xiaoruo also looked excited, "Hold it for you!"

After handing the turtle eggs to Lin Chengyang, he squatted down extremely hard and began to touch the turtle eggs.

There are old turtles and eggs in this place, which proves that it is a turtle nest, and there must be a lot of turtle eggs in the turtle nest!
She took out a dozen turtle eggs from the turtle nest at once, and then stopped.

With this old turtle and turtle eggs, it is enough for her to buy raw materials for making spicy noodles!

The children who watched the fun were also happy.

There are old turtle nests, which proves that there are many old turtles around here!

If Xia Xiao can catch the turtle, then they will search hard, and they will surely catch it too!

A child watching the fun had found her a plastic bag and put the turtle eggs in it.

Xia Xiaoruo looked at the children who were catching fish, all of them were dark and thin, and based on her own skills, she took the nets from the children and landed them in a piece of water near the bridge.

There are a lot of big fish in this area of ​​water, and if a few children catch big fish, they can have a meaty meal after taking them back.

After catching the old turtle and a nest of turtle eggs, Xia Xiaoruo was not greedy, so she asked her cousin Chengyang to leave the river and continue to the town.

Along the way, she carefully held a bag of turtle eggs, just like holding gold bars, for fear of breaking them.

The old turtle just put it in the bucket of the tricycle, not afraid of the sun, nor afraid of it running away.

to town.

The two went straight to the largest hotel in Wuzhuang Town, the Wuzhuang Town Guest House.

The people who live here are all leaders who are on business trips, or some businessmen who are well dressed.

They are the only ones who can afford such an expensive old turtle to nourish their bodies.

Only chefs in guest houses can make such a big old turtle.

"What are you doing? You have to go to the back door to collect the trash!"

As soon as Xia Xiaoruo and Lin Chengyang arrived at the entrance of the guest house, they were coaxed away by the gatekeeper.

It's no wonder that the uncle regards her and Lin Chengyang as people who collect rags. Xia Xiaoruo found the old turtle out of the mud. Although his hands and feet were cleaned, the trouser legs were still dirty.

Lin Chengyang's clothes were still patched...

Xia Xiaoruo didn't mind at all, and said to the old man watching the gate, "Grandpa, we came from Lianhua Village. We caught an old turtle and wanted to sell it for some money. I don't know who to turn to."

She has a sweet mouth and speaks generously. The uncle looked her up and down for a while, and saw that although she had mud spots on her body, she had a fair face, a pair of bright eyes, a smiling mouth, and two dimples, which made people look at her. I felt happy, and when I talked to her again, my tone softened.

"You guys go to the back door and wait. I'll let the person in charge of the back kitchen to go over."

"Thank you, grandpa, then we will meet someone later, what should we call him?"

Xia Xiaoruo asked again.

The old man thinks she is more interesting, she is not very old, and she is quite reliable in her work!

He is also willing to give advice to smart people, not to mention that the little girl has such a sweet mouth, "You can call him Uncle Liang! He is the purchasing manager, and someone from above is here for dinner today, so he just needs the good things you brought! "

Xia Xiaoruo thanked again, and happily went to the back door of the guest house with Lin Chengyang.

At first, she was a little worried that the old turtle would not be able to sell at a high price, but now it is all right!Since someone above came to eat, she might be able to raise the price a little bit!
