My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 87: bizarre

   Chapter 87 Strange

   "Well... But then again, these two eels in our family are growing a little too fast."

   "After they were brought back, they were all fed when others came to the house. We didn't feed them much, so why are there fish fry? I haven't seen any fish roes in the tank these days..."

   Then, Wang Susu said in surprise.

  Chen Ling shook his head: "I can't figure it out either!"

   His inner doubts are no less than Wang Susu.

   Actually, eel is not the same as other fish.

  Eel fry are all female when they grow up to more than 20 centimeters long, and they begin to degenerate, but about 4 or 5 out of 100 will become male, and the probability of degeneration is relatively small.

   When it grows to 30 cm to 40 cm, the eel will have a more than 50% chance of becoming a male.

When    is more than 50 cm long, all the eels will become male.

   That is to say, the eel is the first female and then the male in this life, serving as both mother and father.

   Now that there are eel fry in the tank, it means there is a male and a female.

  In the case of only two eels, this probability is still quite small.

   I don’t know if it is the magical effect brought by the Dongtian Stream, or the species of red eel itself is bizarre enough.

   After thinking about it, Chen Ling fished out the water plants and looked around the tank wall. He also looked at the water plants, but there was no trace of fish roe.

   "Is this also different from ordinary eels, the fry that did not produce roe directly?"

   shook his head, Chen Ling was getting more and more confused about these two strange fish.

  I didn't think about it anymore, so I went to the backyard and brought a water tank over. I fished out the two red eels and put them in. Otherwise, it would be bad to eat the fry if I stayed with the fry.

   This is all money after you grow up.

   Then Chen Ling made a plan in his heart, thinking that the next red eel seedlings would have to pick out a few and put them in the cave to cultivate them.

This guy didn't let go of the two red eels before, so he put two scoops of stream water at first, and the rest were put in at night and released during the day, but they stayed in the cave intermittently for four or five nights. That's it.

   The result is like blowing up a balloon. It takes a month to grow into the wild one or two years. If you feed it directly in the cave, will it grow in a shorter time?

   It takes a good test.

   "A Ling, are you going to the city to sell herbs today?"

   "Yeah, do you have something to buy?"

   "No, I mean, if you're going to the county seat, I won't go out today."

   When eating breakfast, Wang Susu's mood has not calmed down.

  My dear, the two red eels have produced so many fry.

   Even at the price that Sun Yanhong had previously offered, one thousand yuan a piece, the hundreds of fry would grow up, and the money would be enough to make Wang Susu tremble.

  With such a baby at home, how dare you leave people?

  You have to guard to be at ease.

   "Well, then you can rest at home today."

   "It happens that the county town has a fair. I have something to do. I guess I will be back later."

  Chen Ling responded and explained a few words to Wang Susu, then went to the backyard to put on an ox cart and drove out.

   Before leaving, Xiao Bai Niu squinted his eyes and mooed Wang Susu twice, as if he was saying goodbye.

  Wang Susu also smiled and patted its big head, and asked Chen Ling not to forget to feed it grass and water.

   Then he watched the bullock cart slowly walk out of the alley.

  Lingyun is where the four and nine festivals are held. The scale of the market is much larger than that in the village.

   Especially Chenwangzhuang is closer to the county seat.

  If the villagers go to the market, it will be more convenient to go to the county town, and it will be more frequent.

When    went out of the village, Chen Ling saw many people on the road walking towards the county town in twos and threes.

  Most of them go there on foot, carrying a basket or a urea bag between the creaking nests to buy things, and some pedaling a car to set up a stall.

   For example, Chen Dazhi is like this.

   With a high stack of brooms, dustpans, bamboo stools, etc., tied to the back seat with ropes.

  The mountain road is narrow and full of potholes. After Chen Dazhi did this, Chen Ling couldn't get through with the bullock cart behind him.

   At first, he didn't know who was in front of him, and he still scolded which **** stood in the way.

   After crossing two mountain ridges and the mountain road widened, Chen Ling drove an ox cart over and found out that it was Chen Dazhi.

  Since they met, the two started chatting on the road.

  Chen Ling is going to sell medicinal herbs. On the old street of the Chenghuang Temple, that is, the old Lingzhong and the old hospital, Chen Dazhi is also going to set up a stall there, which happened to be on the way.

   "Fugui, you have collected a lot of medicinal materials, you have two big bags."

   "Hi, it's just something worthless."

   "Haha, do you want more valuable medicinal materials here? Now that all the ginseng babies have gone into the mountains, it is not so easy to find valuable medicinal materials."

   It is true that wild ginseng is a rare thing no matter what age it is.

  As long as they meet in the mountains, they will be harvested regardless of whether they grow up or not.

   Wuyun Mountain used to have ginseng, but due to excessive mining, it basically disappeared more than 20 years ago.

   Now if you want to find ginseng, you have to find it in the deep mountains and old forests.

   But there are wolves, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains, as well as bears and blind men. Most people don’t go there unless they die.

   "By the way, aren't those two eels in your family worth more than the ginseng dolls? Keep them well, and sell them if they come at a high price."

"I haven't seen you a while ago. There are no people in the good guy's reservoir every day. They are all eels fishing. From our village and the outer village, they circle around the reservoir every day, and they also want to catch two big red eels. Come up, but you are not as lucky, you can't even touch the shadow."

   "Even if Erzhu employs a few people to guard it every day."

   Chen Ling just smiled at what Chen Dazhi said.

   Actually, he knew about it.

   At that time, he also felt that since there were these two red eels in the reservoir, there might be other things. He wondered if the reservoir crayfish had been affected, and there was a genetic mutation or something.

   I didn't expect that, except for the two of his family, the others really didn't even touch their shadows.

  Chen Dazhi mentions this now, nothing more than to tell Chen Ling that this thing is currently in his family, and it is worth a lot of money, so sell it when it should be sold, so as to save the old people thinking about it, and the life will not be peaceful.

   Knowing that Chen Dazhi was kind, Chen Ling didn't say anything else, and the two chatted all the way into the county seat.

   At this time, it was only around 8:00 in the morning, and there were already many pedestrians in the market.

In particular, the old street in the Temple of the City God is not only crowded, but many of the people facing the street use door panels to form a table with various commodities on it, mostly snacks and daily necessities. The bullock cart can't pass.

  Chen Ling had to let Chen Dazhi help him watch the ox cart outside, and he carried two large bags of medicinal materials to the old pharmacy on the other end to sell.

   "Hey, there are still ten days before the Dragon Boat Festival, so there are zongzi sellers."

Carrying the medicinal materials not far, Chen Ling smelled the fragrance of the zongzi, and at a glance, it was an old man wearing a bamboo hat, carrying two wooden barrels and just put them under a honey locust tree. It came out, and the aroma of the zongzi became stronger.

  Chen Ling's stomach growled a little when he was full in the morning. He walked over and asked, only two cents apiece, and said that he would definitely buy a basket of it after the herbs were sold out.

   As a result, he was about to move forward when he heard a rather surprised voice behind him.

   "Fugui, why are you carrying two more bags?"

  Chen Ling turned around and saw two middle-aged men and women looking at him with smiles on their faces.

   "I haven't seen you for two months, I almost didn't dare to recognize you."

   Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone~
