"Hmm...but having said that, our two eels are growing a little too fast."

"After we brought them back, we always fed them when others came to the house. We didn't feed them much ourselves, so why are there fry? I haven't seen any fish roe in the tank these days..."

Later, Wang Susu said in surprise.

Chen Ling shook his head: "I can't figure it out either!"

The doubts in his heart were no less than those of Wang Susu.

In fact, eels are not the same as other fish.

When eels are young, they are all female. When they grow to more than 20 centimeters long, they begin to change gender. However, only four or five out of a hundred will become males, and the probability of gender change is relatively small.

When it grows to 30 cm to 40 cm, the eel will have more than 50% chance of becoming male.

When they grow to more than 50 centimeters, all eels will turn into males.

This means that eels are first female and then male throughout their lives, acting as both mother and father.

Now that there are eel fry in the tank, it means there is one male and one female.

When there are only two eels, the probability is still quite small.

I don’t know if it’s the magical effect brought by the Dongtian Stream, or the species of red eel itself is strange enough.

After thinking about it, Chen Ling took out the aquatic plants and looked around the tank wall and on the aquatic plants, but found no traces of fish roe.

"Is this also different from ordinary eel in that it does not produce fish roe and directly produces fry?"

Shaking his head, Chen Ling became more and more confused about these two strange fish.

I simply stopped thinking about it and went to the backyard to bring another water tank, fished out two red eels and put them in. Otherwise, it would be bad if they stayed with the fry and ate them.

After I was raised, it was all about money.

Then Chen Ling made a plan in his mind, thinking that he would have to pick out a few of these red eel seedlings and put them in the cave to cultivate them.

This guy had never released the two red eels into the cave before. He only released two ladles of stream water at the beginning. The rest were taken in at night and released during the day. They only stayed in the cave intermittently for four or five nights.

That's all.

The result is like blowing up a balloon. It takes one month to grow into what it takes one or two years to grow in the wild. If it is fed directly in the cave, will it grow in a shorter time?

It's going to take a good test.

"Aling, are you going to the city to sell medicinal materials today?"

"Yeah, do you have something to buy?"

"No, I mean, if you want to go to the county seat, I won't go out today."

While eating breakfast, Wang Susu's mood had not calmed down yet.

Good guy, two red eels actually produced so many fry.

Even if Sun Yanhong's previous price was 1,000 yuan a fish, the price of these hundreds of fry would be enough to scare Wang Susu.

With such a treasure at home, how dare you leave people?

You have to guard it to feel at ease.

"Well, then you can rest at home today."

"It just so happens that there is a fair in the county town. I have some things to do. I will probably come back later."

Chen Ling responded, explained a few words to Wang Susu, then went to the backyard to hitch a bullock cart and drove out.

Before leaving, the little white cow squinted its eyes and mooed twice to Wang Susu, as if saying goodbye.

Wang Susu also smiled and patted its big head, and told Chen Ling not to forget to feed it fodder and water.

Then he watched the bullock cart slowly walk out of the alley.

Lingyun is home to the Four and Nine Markets, which are much larger than those in the countryside.

In particular, Chenwangzhuang is closer to the county seat.

If villagers go to the market, it will be more convenient to go to the county town and they will go more frequently.

When Chen Ling left the village, he saw many people on the road walking in twos and threes towards the county town.

Most of them go there on foot, carrying baskets or bags of urea under their arms to buy things, and some ride on cars to set up stalls.

For example, this is the case with Chen Dazhi.

Carrying a tall pile of brooms, dustpans, bamboo stools, etc., tied to the back seat with ropes.

The mountain road was narrow and full of potholes. Chen Dazhi's actions made it impossible for Chen Ling, who was driving an ox cart, to get through.

At first he didn't know who was in front of him, and he was scolding some bastard for blocking the road.

After passing two mountain ridges and the mountain road widened, Chen Ling drove the ox cart over and discovered that it was Chen Dazhi.

Since they met, the two started chatting on the road.

Chen Ling was going to sell medicinal materials on the old street of Chenghuang Temple, that is, next to Lao Lingzhong and the old hospital. Chen Dazhi was also going to set up a stall there, so he happened to be on the way.

"Fugui, you have collected quite a lot of medicinal materials. There are two big bags."

"Hey, just some worthless things."

"Haha, do you want the medicinal materials here to be more valuable? Now that the ginseng dolls have gone to the mountains, it is not so easy to find valuable medicinal materials."

It is true that no matter what era, wild ginseng is a rare thing.

As long as they are found in the mountains, they will be picked regardless of whether they are grown or not.

There used to be ginseng in Wuyun Mountain, but due to over-exploitation, it basically disappeared more than 20 years ago.

Nowadays, if you want to find ginseng, you have to look for it in the deep mountains and old forests.

However, there are many jackals, tigers, leopards, and blind bears in the deep mountains. Most people will not go there unless they are desperate.

"By the way, those two eels in your house are not worth more than some ginseng dolls? Keep them well and sell them if you get a higher price."

"I haven't seen you a while ago. There are no people in the reservoir every day. They are all fishing for eels. People from our village and other villages circle around the reservoir every day, hoping to catch two big red eels.

Come up, but I'm not as lucky as you, and I can't even touch the shadow."

"Even hiring a few people to guard Erzhu every day is not enough."

Chen Ling just smiled at Chen Dazhi's words.

In fact, he knew this.

At that time, he also felt that since there were these two red eels in the reservoir, there might be others. He also wondered whether the crayfish in the reservoir might have caused a genetic mutation or something.

Unexpectedly, except for the two of his family, no one else even touched the shadow.

When Chen Dazhi mentioned this now, he was simply telling Chen Ling that he only owned this thing at the moment, and it was worth a lot of money. He should sell it as soon as it was necessary, so as not to worry about it all the time and make his life uneasy.

Knowing that Chen Dazhi had good intentions, Chen Ling didn't say anything else, and the two of them chatted all the way into the county town.

It was only about eight o'clock in the morning, and there were already many pedestrians in the market.

Especially the old street of the Chenghuang Temple is not only crowded with people, but many of the houses facing the street use door panels to set up tables with various products on them, mostly snacks and daily necessities.

Even bullock carts can't get through.

Chen Ling had no choice but to let Chen Dazhi help him look after the oxcart outside, while he carried two large bags of medicinal materials to the old pharmacy on the other side to sell them.

"Hey, there are still about ten days until the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is a rice dumpling seller here."

Not far after carrying the medicinal materials, Chen Ling smelled the fragrance of the rice dumplings. When he took a closer look, he saw an old man wearing a bamboo hat, carrying two wooden buckets and just placing them under a honey locust tree. The lids of the buckets were opened, and the steaming steam came out

When it comes out, the aroma of the rice dumplings becomes stronger.

Chen Ling's stomach was growling after a full meal in the morning. He walked over and asked, and found out that it was only two cents each. He said that he would definitely buy a basket of them after the medicinal materials were sold out.

As a result, just as he was about to continue walking forward, he heard a rather surprising voice behind him.

"Fugui, why are you carrying two more bags?"

Chen Ling turned around and saw two middle-aged men and women looking at him with smiles on their faces.
