    "Well, I just caught it last night. How did you tell that it was a wild old turtle and not one that was fed?" 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 tortoises are black with a slight yellowish green color, while those raised in captivity are all black. This feature is easy to distinguish. Eh this tortoise  There seems to be a word on the back.¡±

    "The word?" Liu Junhao leaned his head again, "This looks like the word "longevity"

    Although the marks on the turtle shell are not obvious, you can still see that the yellow-green texture is curved, just like the traditional Chinese character "Shou" written in official script.

    "It's true." A group of rural men also marveled.

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

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

    Hearing him tell Xiaopi¡¯s glorious deeds, a group of men in Liujiagou were filled with envy again, and they had one more sentence in their hearts: Dogs are stupid, smart people are different, and the dogs they raise are better than other people¡¯s dogs.

    "I bought both the tortoise and the huotou. The tortoise is estimated to weigh four kilograms. I will give you 600 yuan based on the highest market price of 151 kilograms. The huotou is considered to be 500. How about a total of one thousand and one?"

    "I won't sell them. I mainly keep these two things for fun." Liu Junhao is a smart man. When he said the word "longevity" just now, he could clearly see the unconcealable ecstasy in Wang Shengli's eyes. Then he gave himself the highest price in the market, indicating that this bastard  It was quite valuable, and he was immediately ready to sell it.

    "I'll give you another hundred, how about two things for one thousand and two?" Seeing his firmness, Wang Shengli pretended to be in pain and said.

    "Not for sale" Seeing him adding a hundred yuan so simply, Liu Junhao became more and more sure that this thing was worth a lot of money.

    "Xiao Hao, don't be ignorant. I happened to meet Boss Wang today. He is a generous man. No one will pay such a high price in the future. There will be no shop like this after passing this village."  Liu Guangju naturally tried his best to persuade.

    "If you really want this Huotou, you can take it away. I really won't sell it." Liu Junhao said simply.

    "Hiss" All these men took a breath. Liu Junhao's bid was too cruel. A fire head weighing more than thirty kilograms wanted to sell for one thousand yuan. Go ahead and dream, as long as a normal person would not  Will buy.

    "Okay, one thousand and two is one thousand and two, but you have to sell it with this bastard. Tell me, how much will you pay, 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 a thousand and two dollars for this bastard?" Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Shengli said again.

    This group of men who were watching the excitement were completely confused. This fire was really worth a thousand and two, and even the bastard sold it for a sky-high price.  Damn it, this is unreasonable. The money that other people earn in one day is almost as much as what I earn in a year. From now on, we will also be able to pick up bastards on the river beach.

    "I won't sell it, I'm going to make the soup myself. This thing is a great supplement." Liu Junhao refused to let go.

    "Xiao Hao, do you have a fever? This old turtle costs more than a thousand yuan. It's a pity to eat it by yourself. It's not worth a penny. You will turn into two piles of shit in your stomach after eating it. Besides, you are young and are not in trouble.  He's not sick, what can he do?" Liu Guangju felt sorry for him now. He didn't know why this young man was so stunned. He didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity.

    But I also admired it in my heart. If it were him, he would have sold two things for one thousand and two just now, and now he has doubled his time.

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

    "I said I wouldn't sell it,"

    ¡­¡­

    Throughout the morning, a group of people were lounging in his yard, and more and more people gathered around him. Basically, all the idlers in the village came. A village as big as a palm can't hide something, so let's fart at the end of the village.  , the stench can be smelled at the end of the village, not to mention such a big thing, the noise caused is no 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 will not sell out no matter who persuades him.

    Seeing that it was noon, Liu Guangju felt a little sorry when he saw that he had taken someone else's things but was not of any help, so he took Wang Shengli to his house for a drink. Of course, he did not forget to grab a handful of beans in the yard when he left.  .

    Basically, everyone picked a handful of beans and two tomatoes when they left Liu Junhao's house. Liu Junhao didn't care. They were all fellow villagers who looked down and didn't look up. Picking some vegetables was not a big deal.

    ??What's more, after he kept watering it with water from the stone lock, it grew like crazy. He couldn't eat so much by himself. If he left it on the branch and let it grow old, he might as well give it to the villagers as a favor.  Woolen cloth.

    In the afternoon, Wang Shengli, accompanied by Liu Guangju, came again. This time the price reached 2,000 to buy a tortoise, but Liu Junhao had no intention of selling it at this moment and refused to let go.

    In the end, Wang Shengli had no choice but to leave his business card and said that if he figured it out later, he could call him at the number above at any time and the price would remain the same. Then he left with a look of regret. Of course, he didn't mention Huotou again. He paid such a high price in the morning.  The main reason for the price was to buy the two together. The drunkard didn't care about the wine, but if he couldn't buy the tortoise, the fire of more than a thousand yuan became useless.

    He was also afraid of what to do if he accidentally suffocated the fire while putting it in the car. There was still a hundred miles from Liujiagou to the county seat.

    Although Wang Shengli left, the aftermath of this incident was far from gone. The news even got louder and louder. People from other villages kept coming to see what was strange, which bothered Liu Junhao.

    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 in a daze again. He actually saw thin black threads lying densely in the shallow water of the spring. These things were eel seedlings.  , I didn¡¯t expect so many, as many as five or six hundred.

    "The eels that I threw into the space before have all grown to thirty or forty centimeters in length, and are particularly fat. It seems that those small eels should be the eggs they laid.

    The eel is different from other fish. It is a female before the first sexual maturity, but it becomes a male again from the second sexual maturity. This means that the eel is male or female throughout its life.  Being both a mother and a father.

    Seeing the total number of small eels in the group, at least he would not have to worry about eating eels all year round. He casually caught a big one, weighing almost a pound. It is rare to see such a big one.

    He immediately became interested, smashed the eel to death, disembowelled it, chopped it into pieces, and prepared to make braised eel.

    Heat the pot first, then pour in the soybean oil, then add the Sichuan peppercorns, and the aroma will overflow. While the pot is hot, add the eel and ginger slices and stir-fry. Finally, add the dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and bean paste.  Simmer the water for a few minutes, then add salt, add the garlic cloves and beans, and simmer for a while.

    Opening the lid of the pot, the aroma filled the whole yard. Xiaopi didn't go anywhere else to have fun at this time, and looked at Liu Junhao eagerly, waiting to share the fruits of victory.

    Eel has less bones and more meat, and is delicious. It can be stir-fried, popped, deep-fried, and roasted. Liu Junhao has eaten it many times before, but it is definitely not as fragrant. Even the bones are crispy.  If he protested below, he might not even want to give Xiaopi his bones.

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

    Liu Junhao felt particularly comfortable after eating and drinking. Ever since he picked up this mysterious stone lock, things around him had changed unknowingly.

    He thought about Boss Wang again during the day. He didn't know why he paid such a high price to buy his old turtle, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason.

    Finally, he suddenly thought of something and became excited. If the large group of eels in his spring grew up, wouldn't they be worth a lot of money?  Monopterus eels are also very expensive, costing twenty or thirty yuan per catty.

    "These hundreds of eels weigh at least four to five hundred pounds when they grow up. If sold in the county town, they would probably cost ten to twenty thousand yuan. Moreover, the eels soaked in spring water taste better and may be more valuable.
