It was a long time before the woman cleared herself, recognized her daughter, and began to cry. Several daughters also cried, and after a while, they told their mother that it was Brother Chu who saved her. At the same time, the eldest sister instructed her younger sister to get her younger brother back immediately.

The woman was naturally full of gratitude to Chu Jiaqiang, and thanked her again and again. From the moment she woke up, she completely walked out of that incident, and she also understood that she couldn't go on like this, the family still needed her, and these children had suffered all these years.

Hearing her daughter tell about the past four or five years, she also sighed, a dream is four or five years, especially when she saw that her son, who was still in infancy, was so old, she felt like yesterday.

Soon, the news that Liu's third daughter-in-law was cured spread throughout Liujiagou, and the good news that the veteran Yang Qi had received a huge sum of money and was ready to benefit all the villagers, and all the villagers were happy.

Liu San's daughter-in-law was going to keep everyone at home to eat, and was going to cook for everyone to thank so many people for their kindness.

"As soon as you recover, don't be busy yet, and you'll have a chance later. I have already arranged the feast, and your family will come over. Village Chief Liu spoke.

When it was almost time for lunch, Village Chief Liu no longer took everyone around, and led Chu Jiaqiang and others to the best house in the village, but it was still a mud brick house.

At this time, several women are busy, cooking, washing vegetables, washing dishes and chopsticks, wiping the table, and so on. Seeing the third daughter-in-law of Liu who followed, they all stepped forward to chat enthusiastically, telling about the difficulties of several children over the years, especially the eldest sister, and hoped that she would cheer up.

Two middle-aged men walked in outside, carrying two buckets in their hands. It was filled with fish caught in the lake, and they were not short of these aquatic products here.

"Hurry up and kill, shaved deep potatoes and stewed those five water fish, grass carp will be steamed fish, carp will not be needed, this fish has many bones. Ah Shui should get the chickens and ducks right, you go and make the pork I bought today as a button meat. By the way, dig a few taro back. The old village chief commanded one by one.

As soon as Zhou Furong and the others heard this, their interest immediately came, and they immediately leaned over.

"Alas! It's really a water fish, not bad! This stuff is delicious, thief supplement, good thing, good thing! Seeing one of the barrels containing three soft-shelled turtles, each weighing about three catties, Zhou Furong and the others were all happy, and secretly said that they were blessed.

Soft-shelled turtles are difficult to see in Chujiazhai, but turtles do. However, there is a difference between turtles and soft-shelled turtles, soft-shelled turtles are precious ingredients for special consumption, and turtles are more used for ornamentation.

Of course, there are also people called turtles, Yuanyu, Wang Ba, etc., anyway, it's quite messy.

The shape of the turtle is oval, flatter than the turtle, from the appearance of the appearance, the turtle usually has a dark green sè on the dorsal area and limbs, some of the back is light brown, and the ventral surface is white and red. Its head is a tortoise. Its dorsal and ventral carapace has a soft outer membrane, which does not have turtle-like stripes, and is softer than that of a turtle. It is surrounded by a soft and delicate skirt. The limbs have five claws. The head, neck, and limbs can be retracted.

"This thing is not easy to catch, thief jīng, I caught these three after squatting for a long time today." A man carrying a bucket just now said to everyone. There are a lot of fish in the water here, but they are not easy to catch, and they will slip away with a little wind and grass.

Seeing the water fish, Chu Jiaqiang had another idea that came to his mind, feeling that it was feasible and quite high, which was very suitable in Liujiagou.

He originally suggested that the villagers contract reservoirs and lakes to stock aquatic products, which is very popular in Chujiazhai and can definitely make money. The lake has a lot of silt, and lotus roots can be grown, which is another industry. When the time comes, a large area of lotus flowers will bloom, and it may even attract tourists.

"It's not an uncommon thing, you can always catch a few if you want to eat. That's all we have here, don't dislike it. Village Chief Liu said with a slightly embarrassed face. In the countryside, especially in a poor place like Liujiagou, these are nothing more than these things to greet guests.

"It's already good! It's precious, especially the wild one. Those raised outside cost a hundred or dozens of yuan a catty, and the wild ones were at least one or two times more expensive. Chen Wu said.

Village Chief Liu and the others were already stunned, and they couldn't believe that this thing was so valuable. I usually feel that it is not as good as the chickens I raise, after all, my own chickens and ducks are labor-intensive, and this water fish can be caught in the river, which is completely regarded as a road goods.

"This thing is so expensive?" Another middle-aged man pointed to the water in the bucket in disbelief, and his eyes were red.

Zhou Furong nodded: "I don't know the wild ones, it's too difficult to find them outside, and the one raised is about one hundred pounds, which is quite expensive." ”

"! Wouldn't I be able to specialize in catching fish in the water from now on? ”

"Don't dream, although we have a lot of this thing, but we specialize in catching it, sooner or later, what will you do?" Village Chief Liu said. I hope these guys can return to the right path, do things well, and it's too insecure to catch fish every day.

"You can raise it yourself! Contracting out the reservoir and stocking aquatic fish and other aquatic products is a great development. Also, the lake above was also contracted to grow lotus roots. These two properties alone are enough to make you rich. Chu Jiaqiang said.

When Mayor Ye and the others heard this, they immediately realized the huge profits in it, and when they looked at Chu Jiaqiang, they knew that his reservoir and the big ditch could make a profit of two or three hundred thousand yuan a month, but many people were red-eyed.

The idea of planting lotus root is also very good, there is little land here, but the lake is shallow, and there is a lot of silt, and the silt is very fertile, which is the most suitable for the growth of lotus root.

"Very good, that's a great idea. By the way, what is the price of lotus root now? Secretary Chen said.

A civil servant beside him immediately inquired and found that the lotus root had recently shown signs of raising its head, more than two yuan and one catty, and since the previous year, it has not been less than one piece of five.

"Hmmm! Very good, let's focus on these two. In terms of contracting reservoirs, the town will come forward and help you get it at a low price as much as possible, and the lake belongs to the zhèngfǔ pipe, which we can give you preferential treatment according to the policy. Mayor Ye also said.

Village Chief Liu and the others were overjoyed, and immediately called a few villagers to hurry up and work.

The middle-aged man is also very good at killing water fish, and it can be seen that he has killed a lot. Use chopsticks to draw out the head of the soft-shelled turtle, wait for it to bite and elongate, cut off the root of the neck with a knife, and then control the blood.

Then put half a pot of water, the water temperature is boiled to about 70~80 degrees, put the slaughtered soft-shelled turtle in hot water, blanch for 2~5 minutes and take it out, and gently scrape the black dirt skin of the soft-shelled turtle with a knife.

At this time, you should pay attention, but don't scrape off the skirt, that is, the flying edge, which is located around the soft-shelled turtle, which is the most fragrant part of the soft-shelled turtle. After scraping the black skin, clean the soft-shelled turtle.

Next, use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the cross knife in the abdomen of the soft-shelled turtle, dig out the internal organs, and wash it with water. After the internal organs are cleaned, wash them, cut off the tips of the four paws and the tail sheath, and remove the butter attached to the four feet.

I didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and after a while, a sumptuous lunch was put on the table, so that everyone's food yù increased greatly. (To be continued.) )
