Chapter 18 Wild Big Turtle
The origin of the name Sanhe Village is that there are three rivers passing by near the village, and there are many places suitable for fishing near the village.
Zhao Lei and Zhou Jun came to a bend in the river and found a shaded place to cast a hook for fishing.The two chose a good place, and soon the fish were hooked.Although the fish they caught were all common fish, which were not worth much money, but the two of them came fishing for relaxation, so they enjoyed it.
Zhou Jun quickly caught several herrings and one black carp. In comparison, Zhao Lei's catch was almost the same. He only caught two palm-sized crucian carps.
Now Zhou Jun was proud, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "Leizi, you have studied in a big city for several years, and your fishing skills have deteriorated. I remember that you used to catch better than me every time you fished." !"
Zhao Lei said unconvinced: "You know what a fart, I'm saving my character, and soon there will be big fish hooked!"
Zhou Jun smiled and said, "Haha, okay, then I'll wait and see what you can catch!"
However, as soon as Zhou Jun's words fell, Zhao Lei stood up all of a sudden, and while lifting the pole vigorously, he said loudly: "I'm hooked, haha, I feel like a big guy!"
Although Zhou Jun was still laughing at Zhao Lei just now, he immediately came over to cheer him up: "Quickly control it, don't let the big fish escape!"
At this time, Zhao Lei could no longer care about Zhou Jun, and he backed up while lifting the pole, gradually pulling the big fish to the shallow water area.
Standing by the river, Zhou Jun stared into the river with wide eyes, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Come on, I'm about to see it, it must be a big fish, what the hell, it's a turtle, a big turtle, please! Don't let it get away!"
Zhao Lei was also very surprised, he didn't expect to catch a soft-shelled turtle.Nowadays, wild turtles are very rare, and it is really not easy to catch one.Zhao Lei carefully took up the line so that the soft-shelled turtle would not run away.After several minutes of fighting, the turtle was finally dragged ashore.
Although Zhou Jun said just now that Zhao Lei caught a big turtle, he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the turtle with his own eyes. The turtle was even bigger than Zhao Lei thought.
The carapace of the soft-shelled turtle was as big as a soup bowl, and Zhao Lei estimated it weighed about ten catties.It is not uncommon for farmed soft-shelled turtles to grow to such a large size, but it takes at least ten years for wild soft-shelled turtles in the river to grow to such a large size, and it is very rare even in the county market.
"Oh, Leizi, you posted it!" Zhou Jun carefully put the turtle into the bucket, and said with a smile on his face, "Such a big turtle is worth at least 2000 yuan!"
Zhao Lei was also very happy, and said with a smile all over his face: "You see, this is the benefit of saving character. If you want to fish with me, you are far behind!"
Zhou Jun said depressedly: "If you say you are fat, you will gasp. What are you going to do with this turtle?"
If it was in the past, Zhao Lei would definitely have sold this soft-shelled turtle.But in a few days now, the ginseng planted by Zhao Lei can be sold at a good price, so he doesn't care about the few thousand yuan, and simply waved his hand and said: "Do you still need to ask, of course it is slaughtered and eaten. We caught it together, so let’s go to your house to eat, and by the way, invite your dad to try it too!”
The two came to Zhou Jun's house with today's gains. Zhou Jun's father, Zhou Qingsong, heard the voice and said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "It's Leizi, come in and sit down!"
"Hello, Uncle Zhou." Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I caught a big soft-shelled turtle today, the three of us have a good meal!"
Only then did Zhou Qingsong notice the soft-shelled turtle in the bucket, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Such a big soft-shelled turtle is worth a lot of money. I think it's better not to eat it, and sell it in the market!"
Zhao Lei laughed and said, "It's just a soft-shelled turtle, and it won't eat me up, so don't be too polite!"
Zhou Jun also persuaded his father: "Dad, Leizi is a person who wants to do a big business, so he doesn't care about the thousands of dollars! Such a big wild soft-shelled turtle can make up for it. If you eat more today, maybe you will pay for it." You have the ability to find me a stepmother!"
"Get lost, you little bastard!" Zhou Qingsong said angrily, "I brought you up with shit and piss, and it's up to you whether you want a wife or not!"
Zhou Jun smiled and said, "I don't care about your physical problems because I want to see you growing old and strong!"
Zhou Jun's mother passed away very early, and Zhou Qingsong raised him alone. The relationship between father and son is very good, and they often make some jokes that are too much in the eyes of others.
Zhao Lei and Zhou Jun are good friends, of course they also know this, so they just smiled and watched from the side, secretly envious that their good friends at least have a father, unlike him who is already alone.
Zhou Qingsong and his son had an argument, and the old man went to kill the turtle.In his words, wild soft-shelled turtles of this size are very rare, and it must be slaughtered by a veteran like himself, lest the two young men, Zhao Lei and Zhou Jun, spoil good things for nothing.
Facts have proved that Mr. Zhou's worry is very reasonable. When he opened the turtle, he exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, there are eggs in the stomach of this big turtle!"
Zhao Lei and Zhou Jun quickly surrounded it, and sure enough, they saw more than a dozen white eggs in the soft-shelled turtle's stomach.Unlike eggs, soft-shelled turtle eggs are almost perfectly round, and are no different from ping-pong balls except for their size.
"Let me just say, this turtle has to be dissected by an old mage like me." Zhou Qingsong said triumphantly, "If I leave it to you, there will definitely not be many eggs left!"
While talking, the old man carefully took out the egg, nodded slightly and said: "The shell is very hard, if this soft-shelled turtle is not caught by you, spawning will only happen in a few days."
Zhou Qingsong's words moved Zhao Lei's heart, and he quickly asked him: "Uncle Zhou, I have some use for these soft-shelled turtle eggs, can you give them all to me?"
This soft-shelled turtle was caught by Zhao Lei in the first place, and Zhou's father and son had absolutely no objection to this request.So when Zhao Lei left Zhou Jun's house, he not only ate wild soft-shelled turtles, but also took a dozen soft-shelled turtle eggs with him.
After returning home, Zhao Lei took the soft-shelled turtle eggs into the gourd space.
After knowing that these soft-shelled turtle eggs were mature, Zhao Lei had a bold idea to try to hatch these soft-shelled turtle eggs.In order to increase the success rate, Zhao Lei decided to bring the soft-shelled turtle eggs to the gourd space to hatch, hoping to have a good result.
Zhao Lei dug a hole next to the spring, filled it with dead branches and leaves brought from outside, then carefully put the soft-shelled turtle eggs on it, and finally covered it with a thick layer of dead leaves, and then clapped his hands in satisfaction .
In fact, Zhao Lei didn't know what environment the soft-shelled turtle eggs should be hatched in, so he hatched the soft-shelled turtle eggs according to the method of crocodiles building nests that he had seen on TV.The heat generated by the decay of dead branches and leaves should allow these soft-shelled turtle eggs to hatch smoothly.
After finishing these things, Zhao Lei left the gourd space, looked at the little purple gold gourd in his palm, and couldn't help but sighed worriedly.
