Chapter 51 Grilled Turtle

As soon as Ye's father said he wanted to find someone to plant wolfberry seedlings, Ye Dajun and Ye Laogen's son Ye Mingshan, who lived nearby, came immediately.

There are dense weeds at the foot of the mountain and a small ditch with clear water. In summer, there are many snails and mountain crabs. Large clumps of wild ferns grow rampantly in the ditch, and bees are flying over the blooming wild celery. Dad Ye and a few people decided to drive around the ditch.

"Brother Haizi, your family is going to be rich this year. Are you going to start working hard right away? When do you think the village chief will come back? I want to plant strawberries right now!"

Ye Dajun used a shovel to dig the soil in the ditch and brought out a lot of wild vegetable roots.

"Yes, maybe our village will become rich this year thanks to Haizi!"

Ye Mingshan removed all the weeds, which had already been piled in a row nearby. Before planting, all kinds of grass had to be removed.

Otherwise, the wolfberries will not be able to compete with the weeds for nutrients.

Now several people are working quite efficiently. After clearing the grass in the front, they start digging holes and planting seedlings in the back. They chat and laugh and the teamwork seems pretty good.

Ye Minghai didn’t know why the village chief wanted to go for the investigation, but he could probably guess that it was because he was afraid!

He sighed, "Strawberries are valuable, I want to plant them soon, too, so we can all make money together!"

…………

Ye Zhen had just finished his training and controlled the spiritual energy to pour towards the strawberry seeds in front of him. More than two hundred kilograms of seeds were optimized bit by bit. Most of the seeds were oily and swollen, which meant they had survived a wave of spiritual energy screening, while a small number of seeds became shriveled and blackened.

With a light tap of the fingertips, a ball of spiritual energy is hooked out to remove the seeds that have lost their activity, and a stream of vitality is released to start another round of seed infusion and optimization.

Grandma Ye opened the door angrily and went home, thinking that the mushrooms had been almost dried yesterday and was about to turn them over.

It hasn't rained for many days recently, and the forests have been relatively dry. Grandma Ye had nothing to do, so she went to the mountains to search, but the few mushrooms she found were pitifully few.

I don't know if they shaved it too much. I'm too lazy to sell these flowers, so I might as well dry them all.

Just as I put it down and turned around, my eyes inadvertently glanced at the side, and my eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb!

The two turtles were turned over and placed next to the manhole cover. The two cats put one paw on the turtle's back. When they saw Grandma Ye looking at them, they raised their round heads proudly.

Two pairs of ears stood up high, the mouth seemed to be bent, and the round eyes looked at Grandma Ye.

"Oh my goodness! Where did you catch this?"

Grandma Ye was so excited that her voice was about to break. Ye Zhen walked out in confusion and saw two flip-back soft-shelled turtles at a glance.

Ye Zhen: “!!” No way! No way!

Are humans worse than cats?

Yesterday Ye Zhen went to the foot of the mountain to help plant wolfberries. No one was faster than Ye Zhen. Every shovel he used dug a hole. He was like a human excavator. In a flash, he had planted rows of wolfberries.

Ye Dajun and his men, who were digging ditches nearby, were dumbfounded. One hour of work was equivalent to half a day's work for these grown men.

With that much strength, wouldn't it make the boss go bankrupt if he went to the construction site to move bricks and carry cement?

Little Brother Ye, who was also digging a hole in a ditch, suddenly began to doubt his life. He picked up Ye Zhen's shovel and compared it with his own in disbelief.

That's right! Same shovel.

"What are you looking at? Keep going! A grown man has only this much strength."

Ye Zhen glanced at him with disdain, expressing his extreme contempt for Ye Xiaodi for not planting a single seedling in such a long time.

The big men beside him, including Ye's father: "..."

It means being offended.

With the humanoid excavator Ye Zhenzai, the pits can be dug quickly and efficiently. The most important thing is that he doesn't get tired, and he is far ahead of Ye's father and others.

Ye Zhen dug to the bottom and planted the last seedling here. She moved her fingers slightly, and a more refined and powerful spiritual energy surged over. She waved it and dispersed it onto the wolfberries she had just planted.

The breeze blows, the green leaves sway, and soon you can see the wolfberries sprouting and growing leaves in the blink of an eye, and the small flowers on the branches are blooming brightly.

The roots of wolfberry grow rapidly. Standing next to it, one can almost hear the “whooshing” sound as the roots greedily absorb spiritual energy.

Ye Zhen was really satisfied. He picked up the shovel beside him and prepared to wash it clean with the water from the ditch.

A group of densely packed tiny shrimps and fish all crowded together at the bottom of the wolfberry, sticking their heads out as if trying to touch the spiritual energy that had just leaked out.

Ye Zhen squatted down and scooped up a handful with her hands. These little creatures were quite sensitive. Once the spiritual energy was drawn over, they swam out immediately. This was really a good thing for her.

Call Brother Ye and ask him to bring the bucket used for watering the plants over there to catch the fish.

This kind of small fish is fried in hot oil and sprinkled with chili powder and fine salt. It is fragrant, crispy and delicious!

"Wow, there are so many fish and shrimps!" Little brother Ye just took the bucket and scooped up half a bucket. Even father Ye heard the noise and ran over.

"Hey, come on, there's a group of them over here too." Dad Ye was also delighted. He waded into the ditch and rushed over, letting younger brother Ye pretend.

Now, we have some snacks to go with the wine.

This ditch was formed when a river upstream overflowed with water. With the confluence of rainwater and spring water from the mountains, it gradually became a ditch.

Although the ditch is not deep, there are many small fish and shrimps. When the villagers have time, they will come and catch them in bamboo cages. It is also a wild game.

I heard from Ye's father that someone once caught a wild giant turtle with a fork. Ye's father had seen it at that time.

That turtle was sold for several thousand yuan, and many people came to look for it at once. Many were indeed caught later, and some people even caught quite a few wild grass carps.

Ye Zhen immediately became interested. Braised soft-shelled turtle is so delicious!

Ye Zhen and his younger brother Ye searched along the ditch, and even used his spiritual sense, but still could not see any trace of the turtle.

A dignified cultivator, just for food, hunched his back and crawled into a grass ditch, but got nothing.

And now, the two fat cats have succeeded!

Ever since the two cats were praised for giving away wild rabbits last time, the cats seem to be competing with each other and catching things everywhere and bringing them home.

A few days ago, Ye's mother found a few large field mice and threw them away in disgust. Then, she brought in a few wild birds, which made Ye Zhen so panicked that he immediately destroyed the evidence.

What a sin. If the relevant authorities get to know about this, not only will I be fined, but I will also have to cry behind bars.

Ye Zhen held the two cats, lifted up their two pairs of cat paws, and righteously refused to eat wild animals.

The two cats seemed to understand what was going on, and after a few days of silence, they stretched out their claws to the creatures in the water.

It is bound to make the owner eat until he is satisfied.

This time Ye Zhen was very satisfied, but he didn't know where he caught them, nor did he know if they were still there.

When in doubt, ask Dahei and Daju: "Dahei, Daju!"

The two cats tilted their heads and walked over hesitantly: "Meow?" Shit shoveler, what do you want us to do?

"Did you catch this thing?" Ye Zhen pointed at the nail fish.

"Meow!" Big orange and big black nodded.

"For us?"

The two cats continued to nod: "Meow!" Yes.

"Okay, you guys are so awesome, today I'll reward you with some dried fish."

"Meow!" The two cats puffed out their chests with satisfaction. Look, they are so awesome that they can even raise a poop scooper.

For these two turtles, Ye Zhen decided to braise one and stew the other, but she only knew how to eat and followed orders in everything.

"Mom, let's grill turtle today!"
