Wild soft-shelled turtle is much better than eel. It is rich in fat, multiple amino acids, vitamins and minerals needed by the human body. Its meat is tender and delicious, and is deeply favored by consumers.
In recent years, the number of wild soft-shelled turtles has dropped sharply, and now the market is full of artificially farmed soft-shelled turtles, which has led to the price of wild soft-shelled turtles being much higher. Another reason is that the taste and nutritional value of wild soft-shelled turtles far exceed those of artificially farmed ones, and the price difference is almost ten times.
"Xiao Chao, let's not talk about anything else. I want this turtle." Zheng Gan's eyes lit up. No matter what, this turtle must be served on the table tonight.
"Just take it away, brother. We agreed before that the rest are yours." Sun Chao said directly without any hesitation.
Zheng Gan was stunned. "This wild soft-shelled turtle of yours weighs over three kilograms. The market price is at least six hundred yuan per kilogram. And you're just giving it to me like that?"
Sun Chao nodded. "We've already agreed on this, haven't we? I'll give you whatever's left in the cage. I don't want any money."
Six hundred yuan per catty, three catties is nearly two thousand yuan, which is nothing for Zheng Gan, but for Sun Chao, it is almost a huge sum of money. In the end, the other party said he didn't want it.
The child is indeed a good child.
"Okay, two thousand yuan, take it. You call me brother, so I can't let you suffer any loss." Zheng Gan counted out two thousand yuan in cash directly from his wallet. Fortunately, he prepared some extra cash before coming, otherwise it would be difficult to do it.
"No, no, this is too much money, brother. I definitely can't accept it." Sun Chao kept waving his hands to refuse.
"If you don't take it, I will ask Xiaofeng to buy daily necessities for you and send them to your home. Then you won't be able to refuse." Zheng Gan has plenty of ways. It's not like he is pretending to be a good person. After all, the things are here.
Moreover, a young man with such good qualities can be trained and knows everyone's background. I just don't know if others will follow him, after all, he has a grandmother here.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng quickly took the money from Zheng Gan's hand and forcefully stuffed it into Sun Chao's pocket. He then said viciously, "This money is earned by your own labor. If you don't take it, don't blame me for being angry."
Seeing this, Sun Chao really had no other choice but to take the money first and plan to get some good things for Zheng Gan to take away during the mountain-driving competition.
The four traps have been prepared, and the traps they brought have also been placed in the small reservoir. Since there is nothing else to do now, they plan to take the wild turtle home to deal with it.
Such a nutritious thing must be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a worry.
After returning home, Jiang Feng took the money to his neighbor's house and bought an old hen. Then he and Sun Chao went to prepare the soft-shelled turtles, eels and other things. Zheng Gan and Lin Hao went to the kitchen to start lighting the fire, preparing to show off their cooking skills.
Today's chef is Zheng Gan. Although his cooking skills are not as good as Jia Teng's, they are still much better than ordinary people. The wild soft-shelled turtle can be stewed with an old hen, the yellow eel can be braised, and then some vegetables can be added to relieve the greasiness.
"What are you guys doing here? Don't set my house on fire." Jiang Fusheng came back at this time. Seeing the dusty people, he asked curiously.
"I went with Xiaofeng and Xiaochao to collect traps, and then I caught a wild giant soft-shelled turtle. I have to make a good meal for it at noon." Zheng Gan wiped the black dust off his face and explained with a smile.
"A three-pound wild soft-shelled turtle? This is a good thing!" Jiang Fusheng was amazed. He was a native of Yunnan and had lived in the village for decades. He rarely heard of anyone catching such a big soft-shelled turtle. In addition, he had worked in the restaurant for such a long time, so he naturally knew the value of this thing.
More than an hour later, Zheng Gan also prepared lunch. With such delicious food, it was natural to have a few drinks. Jiang Feng took the money and went to the village store to buy two bottles of pretty good white wine. Thanks to the government's move in, the scale of the store has now expanded a lot.
"Is the effect of this soft-shelled turtle so good?" Lin Hao had just taken two chopsticks when he found that he could not hold on any longer. His face turned red and he took off his coat because of the heat.
It is already December, and even though the weather in Yunnan is relatively good, the temperature is not like summer.
When everyone saw the obvious effect, they quickly started eating the turtle. As a result, the three-pound turtle and an old hen were finished in no time.
"Xiao Chao, there is a bowl of turtle stewed with old hen in the pot. After you finish eating, you can bring it to your grandma. It is very nutritious." Zheng Gan, who was full and seemed to be drunk, sat in the yard very comfortably, smoking a cigarette.
This time, Sun Chao did not refuse. His grandmother was his lifeblood, and he definitely could not give up on such a good thing that could nourish his body.
"Let's take a good nap for a while, and then we can set up the trap when we wake up." After drinking a little wine, Zheng Gan's eyelids began to tremble. He yawned and went back to the house to sleep. The others also packed up their things and went to rest.
When they gathered again, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. After a simple meal, they came to the small reservoir under the leadership of Sun Chao.
"Brother, let's make a deal this time. Don't charge me for the things you get. You can do whatever you want with them. Otherwise, I won't get out of the trap." Sun Chao said very seriously.
At noon today, he went home and told his grandmother what happened today. As a result, he was criticized and said that he was taking advantage of others. In the end, he promised to get some good things to compensate during the mountain-chasing competition, and that's when he let it go.
Zheng Gan smiled and shook his head. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. No matter what we do, we'll eat it right away as a midnight snack."
He had already checked the map and found that there was nothing of great value in the four new traps. He had already eaten some in the evening anyway, so he might as well just have them as a midnight snack.
The four traps were quickly dragged up and then all fell to the ground. Just as it showed on the map, there was nothing good in them, only a few pounds of small river shrimps and two or three small eels.
Although it's not expensive, it's still a good midnight snack.
"Let's get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is the Mountain Driving Competition. We can't let anyone else take this honor away from us on our turf."
