Chapter 57. Camel Mountain Turtle

It is difficult to distinguish between wild soft-shelled turtles and raised soft-shelled turtles for ordinary people, but Li Rui has Hua Tuo's experience in making medicinal diets, coupled with the observation of the grandmaster of traditional Chinese medicine, after all, soft-shelled turtles can also be regarded as a kind of medicinal material, so he will easily recognize this soft-shelled turtle as wild.

But others don't have Li Rui's ability, so although wild soft-shelled turtles are rare, there are not many people who dare to buy them, which directly leads to the price of wild soft-shelled turtles is just inflated, just like the soft-shelled turtle in front of Li Rui, which weighs about two catties, and according to the highest price in the market, it can only be sold for six or seven hundred yuan.

But now the other party actually opens his mouth to ask for a thousand, although it seems to be a buy one get one free, but the price of the one bought is too expensive, and the one given away is obviously too cheap. You know, that little soft-shelled turtle is not even a catty, and the highest is worth dozens of yuan.

"Six or seven hundred things sell for a thousand yuan, no wonder they can't be sold!" Li Rui was annoyed by the stall owner's greed, he turned around and was about to leave, but he took two steps, suddenly stood again, and even turned around suddenly, looking at the two soft-shelled turtles, one big and one small.

"This ...... Is this ......! Li Rui stared at the two soft-shelled turtles carefully, and his face suddenly changed. But fortunately, Li Rui's control power is not bad, and his expression is normal again in an instant, but if someone is close to Li Rui's chest at this time, he will definitely hear his heartbeat more than twice as fast as usual.

"Boss, I want a soft-shelled turtle! But I want to know where you got these two turtles. At this time, Li Rui no longer paid attention to the price, besides, with his current value, he really didn't care about a thousand yuan.

"This is what I caught from the Longkou River!" Because Li Rui was about to buy his soft-shelled turtle, the stall owner answered Li Rui's question without any hesitation.

"Longkou River!" Li Rui nodded meaningfully, and then very neatly took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the stall owner.

When the stall owner took the 1,000 yuan handed over by Li Rui, the smile on his face blossomed, and he was even generous when he was in a good mood, and directly grabbed a carp of about a pound as a tie and gave it to Li Rui.

When he held the two soft-shelled turtles in his hands, Li Rui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time showed an ecstatic expression on his face. And he wasn't in the mood to hang out anymore now, so he ran straight home.

Back at home, Li Rui couldn't wait to pour the two soft-shelled turtles and the given carp into the basin, and then quickly grabbed the small soft-shelled turtle and observed it carefully.

"Hahaha, sure enough!" Li Rui carefully observed for more than half an hour before laughing excitedly.

The camel mountain turtle, a magical creature, is said to have the blood of the mythical beast, and the strength is very large, and an adult camel mountain turtle is said to be able to hump a hill.

However, Li Rui does not like these miracles of the camel mountain turtle, as a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he values the whole body of the camel mountain turtle can be used in medicine. Turtle meat can be used in medicine, tortoise shell can be used in medicine, the best is turtle blood, according to Hua Tuo's inheritance to him, the blood of the camel mountain turtle can improve the physique of mortals, so that its body is strong and powerful.

It is said that in ancient times, especially before the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were still a lot of such camel turtles, but in the era of cold weapons, martial arts were very important, and great strength was the cost. At the same time, it also left behind the legends of many powerful heroes in history.

"It's a pity that this camel turtle is too small to be used in medicine, otherwise I would really want to stew and eat it. And the growth cycle of the camel turtle is too long, it takes almost thirty years to become an adult, if you raise it for thirty years, it must have feelings, and you can't eat it when you want to. However, it should be good to keep it as a pet, and it is said that the camel turtle can be more than two meters long when it reaches adulthood, and it is almost enough to catch up with a small car. It should be very good to have such a pet who pulls the wind! After the excitement, Li Rui felt a little regretful.

"By the way, it seems that this camel turtle should not have been born for a long time, so will there be at least one pair of adult camel turtles in Longkou River? In addition, the camel turtle lays eggs once every ten years, and can lay three to six eggs each time, that is, three to six camel turtles can hatch. Looks like we'll have to take some time to walk around the Longkou River! Li Rui secretly made a decision.

The camel mountain turtle should be regarded as a kind of tortoise, so Li Rui didn't bother to get it any fish tanks, pools or anything, and directly stocked it in the yard.

Li Rui didn't expect that when he went to the farmers' market, there would be an unexpected harvest, and he was in a good mood, of course, he didn't forget his plan, so he directly took out the cow leg that the dog gave him, and walked towards the kitchen.

The leg of the cow that the Roaring Sky Dog gave to Li Rui was more than 200 catties, and it stood taller than Li Rui, which was enough to show how tall the cow raised by Heavenly Court was.

Li Rui can't eat such a big beef leg himself, and he doesn't plan to enjoy this delicacy from heaven alone, first of all, he divides the whole beef leg into two halves, and half of it is directly put into the Qiankun bag, which he is going to take home to honor his parents, the time in the Qiankun bag is static, so the beef leg can still be kept fresh when it is put in it.

As for the remaining half of the beef, Li Rui directly skinned and deboned it, and then cut off almost two catties of meat, and the rest was put into the Qiankun bag by him again.

The skin, bones, and some minced meat plus potatoes were stewed in a big pot by Li Rui, which was the food prepared for those dogs, and as for his own food, he made it more finely.

Cut the beef into even pieces, then add salt, soy sauce and white wine and marinate for 10 minutes. Then sit in the pot and pour the oil, then pour the marinated beef into the pot, stir-fry until it changes color, add tomatoes and stir-fry the juice, and finally pour some river water under the Yulan Bridge, cover the pot and stew.

It takes more than half an hour to stew beef, and it will take more than ten or twenty minutes to add potatoes and stew for more than ten or twenty minutes, of course Li Rui is not idle during this time, a potato beef stew seems to be a little monotonous, Li Rui directly cleaned up the carp sent by the vendor, and then got another braised carp for himself.

The children of poor families are in charge early, Li Rui used to cook some meals when he was at home, and in Hua Tuo's inheritance, because Hua Tuo often went to the wild to pick Chinese herbs, so the picnic experience is very rich, and naturally Li Rui also learned something from it, so although Li Rui's stir-fry skills are not comparable with the big chef, there is still no problem with self-reliance.

Slowly, as time passed, a strong aroma began to fill the kitchen, and Li Rui looked at the time, and he couldn't wait.

But at this moment, a hurried doorbell rang.
