Chapter 87 Strange
"Well... But then again, these two eels in our family are growing a little too fast."
"After I got it back, I was always feeding them when others came to my house. We didn't feed them much, so why did we have fish fry? I haven't seen fish roe 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 those of Wang Susu.
Actually, the eel is different from other fish.
When eel frying, they are all females. When they reach more than 20 cm in length, they start to change their gender. However, about four or five of them will become males in a hundred areas, and the probability of being transformed is relatively small.
When it grows to 30 cm to 40 cm, the eel will have a more than 50% chance of becoming male.
When the eels grow to more than 50 cm, all of them will become male.
This means that eels will be female first and then male in their lifetime, and will be both mother and father.
Now that there are eel fryes in the tank, it means they are male and female.
With only two eels, the probability of this is quite small.
I don’t know if it is the magical effect brought by the Dongtian Stream, or the red eel species itself is strange enough.
After thinking about it, Chen Ling took out the aquatic plants, observed them around the wall of the tank, and looked at them, but there were no traces of fish roe found.
"Is this different from ordinary eels, and there is no fish fry that can be produced directly from fish roe?"
Shaking his head, Chen Ling was getting more and more confused about these two strange fish.
So I didn't think much about it, so I went to the backyard to move a saliva tank, took out the two red eels and put them in, otherwise it would be bad if I stayed with the fry and ate the fry.
After this is raised, it’s all about money.
Then Chen Ling made plans in his mind, thinking that he would have to pick a few of these red eel seedlings and put them in the cave to cultivate them.
The guy didn't let the two red eels go into the cave, so he first put two scoops of stream water in the sky. The rest were collected at night and released during the day, but he stayed in the cave for four or five nights intermittently for four or five nights.
The result is like blowing a balloon. It will grow into a wilderness for a month. If it is directly fed in the cave, will it grow into a shorter time?
You have to experiment well.
"A Ling, are you going to go to the city to sell medicinal materials today?"
"Yes, do you have something to buy?"
"No, I mean, if you want to go to the county town, I won't go out today."
While having breakfast, Wang Susu's mood had not calmed down.
What a good guy, the two red eels actually produced so many fryes.
Even if the price Sun Yanhong had offered for one thousand yuan per person, the hundreds of fish fry grew, and the money sold was enough to make Wang Susu frightened.
If you have such a baby at home, why dare you to leave someone?
You have to keep your mind to rest assured.
"Well, then you can rest at home today."
"It just so happens that I have something to do in the county town. I guess I will come back later."
Chen Ling responded, explained to Wang Susu a few more words, then went to the backyard to get on a ox cart and drove it out.
Before leaving, the little white cow was still squinting his eyes and smilingly at Wang Susu twice, as if he was saying goodbye.
Wang Susu also smiled and patted its big head, and told Chen Ling not to forget to feed it forage and water.
Then he watched the ox cart walk out of the alley slowly.
Lingyun is in the four and nine Fengji, and the scale of the market is much larger than that of Fengji in the village.
Especially Chen Wangzhuang is closer to the county town.
If villagers go to the market, it will be more convenient to walk to the county town and go more frequently.
When Chen Ling left the village, he saw many people walking towards the county town in groups of three or three.
Most of them go shopping with baskets or creaking nests and urea bags, and some go shopping with cars to set up stalls.
For example, Chen Dazhi is like this.
Bring a tall stack of brooms, dustpans, bamboo stools, etc., tied them to the back seat with a rope.
The mountain road was narrow and bumpy. After Chen Dazhi made this happen, Chen Ling drove the ox cart behind him and couldn't get through.
At first he didn't know who was ahead, and he was calling a bastard in his heart.
After two ridges and the mountain road became wider, Chen Ling drove the ox cart over and found out that it was Chen Dazhi.
Since they met, the two started chatting on the road.
Chen Ling wanted to sell medicinal materials, and Chen Dazhi also wanted to set up a stall there in the old street of Chenghuang Temple, which was the old Lingzhong and the old hospital.
"You have a lot of medicinal materials, you have two big bags."
"Hi, it's something worthless."
"Haha, do you want to be as valuable as the medicinal materials here? Now that the ginseng dolls have traveled to the mountains, it is not that easy to find valuable medicinal materials."
Indeed, no matter what era, wild ginseng is a rare thing.
As long as you meet in the mountains, no matter whether you grow up or not, you will be picked.
Wuyun Mountain used to be ginseng, but due to over-digging, it basically disappeared more than 20 years ago.
Now if you want to find ginseng, you have to search in the deep mountains and old forests.
However, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains, as well as blind bears and other bears. Unless they are desperate, ordinary people will not go there.
"By the way, your two eels are not as valuable as any ginseng doll? Keep them well and sell them if you offer a high price."
"You haven't seen each other a while ago. There are no people in the reservoir day by day. They are all fishing eels. Our village and other villages are circling around the reservoir every day. They also want to catch two big red eels, but they are not as lucky as you, and they can't even touch their shadows."
"Even Erzhu hired a few people to guard every day."
Chen Ling just smiled at Chen Dazhi's words.
In fact, he knew about this.
At that time, he also felt that since there were these two red eels in the reservoir, there might be something else, and he also wondered if it was affected by the crayfish in the reservoir, and there was a genetic mutation or something.
Unexpectedly, except for the two in his family, the others didn't even touch the shadows.
Chen Dazhi mentioned this now, just telling Chen Ling that he only has this thing at home, and it is worth a lot of money. He sells it when he should, so as not to attract people to worry about it and live a restless life.
Knowing that Chen Dazhi was kind-hearted, Chen Ling didn't say anything else, and the two chatted all the way into the county town.
It was only around 8 o'clock in the morning, and there were already many pedestrians at the market.
Especially the old street in Chenghuang Temple is not only crowded, but many houses facing the street use door panels to form tables with all kinds of goods on it, mostly food and snacks, and daily necessities. This makes it hard to get through the ox carts.
Chen Ling had no choice but to ask Chen Dazhi to help him watch the ox cart outside first, and carried two large bags of medicinal materials to sell them at the other end.
"Wow, there are still ten days left for Dragon Boat Festival, so there are people selling rice dumplings."
Carrying the medicinal herbs before walking far, Chen Ling smelled the fragrance of the rice dumplings. He saw that it was an old man wearing a straw hat. He just put two wooden barrels under a soapberry tree. The lid of the wooden barrel was lifted, and the hot air came out, and the fragrance of the rice dumplings became stronger.
Chen Ling's stomach was rumbling when he had a full meal in the morning. He walked over and asked, and it only cost 2 cents each. He thought to himself that he would definitely buy a basket of herbs after selling the medicinal materials.
As a result, just as I was about to continue walking forward, I heard a quite surprised voice sounding behind me.
"Fugui, why have you carried two more bags?"
Chen Ling turned around and saw two middle-aged men and women looking at him with a smile on his face.
