Chapter Thirty-Seven: Continue Fishing for Soft-shelled Turtles

Left home and went to a car wash to pick up the car.

Chu Mingcheng returned to his hometown on Yanmen Island, went into the house and brought out the fishing tackle and put it in the car.

All the black fish that had been raised overnight were caught in the fish box and loaded into the car, but he left the smallest black fish for Xiao Mi.

Yesterday's cocked mouth is gone, and I don't know if it was hidden.

Driving to the vegetable market in the town, today he plans to try to sell it himself, if it is easy to sell, the fish caught in the sea can also be sold like this in the future, and if it is not good, he can only find a small stall owner to sell it at a low price.

Chu Mingcheng went to buy some bags, and then carried the fish box and electronic scales to the path next to the back door of the vegetable market to set up a stall.

The front door is strictly controlled, and it is not allowed to occupy the road casually, and the back door is fine, and some people will pick their goods to sell here.

There are a lot of people who come to buy groceries in the morning, and the flow of people at the back door is not low.

Seeing that he was selling black fish, some people came to ask, but when they heard that forty yuan a catty, they basically left without looking back, which was too expensive.

That's right, a three-pound black fish costs 12 yuan, and you can buy as much pork as you want.

After selling it for a while, Chu Mingcheng felt that this black fish was not easy to sell, and he planned to take it into the vegetable market and ask the fish stall owner if he wanted it, and give it to him cheaply.

At this moment, a middle-aged man passing by came up curiously and asked, "Brother, how do you sell this fish?" ”

"Thirty-five pounds, wild." The fish was said to be expensive by more than a dozen people, and Chu Mingcheng was also a little weak in his heart, thinking about it, he thought it was better to lower the price to see the situation.

"Can I take a look?"

"Absolutely."

The middle-aged man squatted down, reached out and grabbed a black fish and looked at it.

However, the black fish struggled very hard, not only broke free from his hand but also splashed water everywhere, Chu Mingcheng dodged far away when he caught the fish.

He had experienced this scene last night and morning, and knew that the blackfish would resist very hard as soon as it caught it.

The middle-aged man also dodged the fish when it came off, but he still got some splashes, but he didn't care.

He would have known that these black fish were indeed wild and had been caught with a fishing rod, so he asked, "Brother, where did you catch this fish?" ”

"It was fished in a deserted pond, and I raised it overnight yesterday, and the water is still very clean, so I can eat it with confidence." Through Chu Yongxin's reminder yesterday, he also knew what the middle-aged man was worried about, and this would be the truth.

"Okay, give me the biggest one." The middle-aged man pointed to the largest one in the fish box and said, then he took out his mobile phone and started calling.

"Ah Hai, I met a few wild black fish in the vegetable market, they are very clean, do you want it, if you want, I will bring you one."

"Yes, how big is it, the smallest one on his side looks like he has three pounds."

"Okay, okay, I see."

After making one call, he made two more calls one after another, and then hung up the phone, put away the phone, and asked Chu Mingcheng: "You can help me weigh three more three-pound ones." ”

"Okay!" Finally opened, and sold four at a time, Chu Mingcheng finally had some motivation.

In addition to the five catties and three taels just weighed, the remaining three were two catties and nine taels, three catties and three catties and six taels, a total of 528.5 yuan, and Chu Mingcheng received 525.

It's so strange to sell things, as long as someone takes the lead in buying and opening a store, the business will naturally come later.

After the middle-aged man left with the fish, it didn't take long for a young couple to come.

The main reason was that the young woman wanted to eat sauerkraut fish, and when she heard that it was a wild black fish, she immediately asked for one.

However, by the time all the fish were sold, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and it took more than two hours.

Chu Mingcheng calculated the accounts, a total of forty-six catties and six taels, and the money received 1610, and he wiped all the odds, missing 21 yuan.

If you count thirty-one catties and sell it to the owner of the fish stall, it is 1398 yuan, a difference of 212.

More than 200 yuan in more than two hours, it is worth setting up a stall.

After packing up his belongings and returning to the car, Chu Mingcheng went into the vegetable market and bought another five catties of pork liver.

Now that he knew that the price of wild soft-shelled turtles was so high and easy to sell, he had no reason to do anything else!

After fishing in the abandoned pond, he can still go to the reservoir to fish, so the big reservoir, I don't believe that there is not even a soft-shelled turtle.

However, the Fushou snail still has to be burned, there is not much wood that can be burned on the side of the abandoned pond, and the good ones were basically burned yesterday, and today he specially bought some charcoal and put it in the car to bring over.

Coming to the abandoned pond again, Chu Mingcheng first threw two catties of pig liver to make a nest, and then tied a fish hook to hang the bait to build a bracket, and after he was busy, he left it alone for the time being, and first took the net to catch the Fushou snail.

Yesterday, he almost caught all the snails by the pond, but after a night, some snails appeared by the pond, but not as many as yesterday.

Picking up while fishing, after half an hour, the nest should have an effect, Chu Mingcheng picked up the fishing rod and put the bait into the water and began to fish for soft-shelled turtles.

The pond is so big, where there is food, the creatures in the water naturally go there, and the effect of nesting is much better than that of the reservoir, after all, it is small.

In just two hours yesterday morning, five soft-shelled turtles were caught, and it was already ten o'clock when the fishing started today, and Chu Mingcheng only caught a big soft-shelled turtle of about four catties, a black fish and three catfish.

Wait for the temperature to cool down in the afternoon and see how it goes, if there is no catch, then this pond will not need to come again next time.

At noon, he still solved it by himself outside, and continued to burn Fushou snails in the afternoon.

This time, it was only at three o'clock that Chu Mingcheng made a nest for the remaining two catties of pork liver, and then extinguished the fire with water.

The number of Fushou snails burned today is much less than yesterday, the number has reached 343 in total, and there have been three life transformations.

In the afternoon, the fishing time was relatively long, and the fishing lasted until more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the harvest was once again gratifying.

The smallest wild soft-shelled turtle is two catties, the largest one is five catties, plus the morning one, there are seven in total, one more than yesterday.

It's right to think about it, this pond is not small, and yesterday I caught a dozen catties.

Wild soft-shelled turtles have to grow to more than ten catties, and their age is at least ten years old, which is one of the reasons why they can be sold for a high price of 8,000, which is too rare.

If it is farmed, it is estimated that it can grow to ten catties in two or three years.

If there is a soft-shelled turtle that is more than ten years old, it means that the soft-shelled turtle in the pond has been breeding.

Even if there is a lack of food in the pond, not six or seven fish can be fished.

However, there were quite a few catfish caught today, and all of them were released by him.

He has caught a total of five black fish, and he doesn't plan to sell them for the time being, so he will keep them at home and sell them when he has time.

Packing his things and going back, he returned to his hometown on Yanmen Island again tonight.

Put the soft-shelled turtle in a fish box, pour it into clean water and raise it, and pour the black fish into another fish box.

Chu Mingcheng went to see Xiao Mi again, Xiao Mi now saw that he was very well-behaved, and he would take the initiative to approach as soon as possible.

After petting the cat, I went to take a bath, and lay on the bed in the attic, Chu Mingcheng stretched comfortably, and slept comfortably here.
