Golden Fishing Village

Eve's gradually improving spirit surprised Li Ji and the other two.

They felt that all the knowledge and research they had worked hard to learn over the past years had gone to waste. Yan Yinghao was even more desperate. He tried his best and couldn't cure Eve, and he couldn't even determine what disease Eve had.

As a result, no treatment measures were taken. Eve was just put in an open area with a group of turtles, and then Eve returned to normal.

All this was too abnormal, and he couldn't help but doubt the knowledge and experience he had accumulated over the past 40 years.

Ao Muyang crossed his arms and said to Chen Xin: "Hey, intellectuals, what's wrong with us uneducated people?"

Chen Xin shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, sorry, Director Ao, I just said something that didn't make sense. I just didn't know you were Professor Li Ji's last disciple."

Li Ji wanted to say when did I have such a last disciple, but he thought about it again and felt that Ao Muyang's performance today was eye-catching. If this was his last disciple, then he would be proud.

Thinking so, he didn't explain, but acquiesced to it.

Chen Xin apologized again solemnly, and Ao Muyang didn't blame him. He understood Chen Xin's previous mood. He was indeed making trouble just now.

Eve's condition temporarily improved, but it remains to be seen how much it will improve. Yan Yinghao and Chen Xin stayed in the village.

Ao Muyang saw that he couldn't let go of this resource. There were many turtles in Longxian Lake, so he organized some young people in the village to learn about turtle breeding from the two.

In this regard, Yan Yinghao and Chen Xin are definitely experts, as they are both PhDs in reptile research.

Last time he went out to sea, he caught a lot of golden thread fish. This fish is very suitable for drying fish. Now it is spring, and the temperature and humidity are also suitable for drying fish. So when he was not out at sea, he brought some golden thread fish back to dry fish.

Golden thread fish is very beautiful after being dried, and this fish has a characteristic, that is, it can lock in the freshness. Even if it is dried and stewed or fried, it is still very delicious.

He took some golden thread fish to the old house, and then asked Heilong to set up a rack in the yard, and he processed the fresh fish himself.

It is not difficult to make dried fish with golden thread fish. Put the fresh fish on the cutting board with the belly facing up, first make a small cut near the upper palate, insert the scissors and cut down, stop near the anus, so that the internal organs can be picked out.

The entrails that were dug out could not be wasted, so he threw them on the ground. A group of chickens and ducks saw them and immediately ran over to grab them and ate them all.

Wolf No. 2 couldn't stand seeing people doing well. When he saw the chickens and ducks grabbing the fish entrails to eat, he actually ran to grab them.

Ao Muyang kicked him after seeing this and said, "Do you have to eat a bite just because they are grabbing shit?"

Wolves eat meat all over the world, and dogs eat shit all over the world. Wolf No. 2 is a second-rate guy in the wolf pack. Old Ao would not be surprised by anything he does. If there are dogs grabbing shit to eat, it is estimated that he will really go to get a bite.

After removing the entrails, Ao Muyang did a simple cleaning, and then began to apply salt to the surface and belly of the fish.

Salt should be applied to dried fish in spring, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria and become smelly.

He applied a thin layer of salt on the fish and brushed a layer of oil on it. This layer of oil is particular. First, it can isolate bacteria in the air, and second, it can increase the oiliness of the dried fish. As the oil soaks into the fish body, it will taste more fragrant whether it is boiled, fried or roasted in the future.

After Heilong installed the iron rack, he came to help. He was responsible for putting the fish on the iron rack to dry. This also requires skills. There are many thick iron wires bent into arches on the iron rack. After the fish head is placed on it, the fish head is supported by the iron wire and the fish tail is supported by the iron rack. The fish body can leave the iron rack and be dried better and more comprehensively by the wind.

Soon, the fat fish were dried one by one, and their heads stretched to the south, like cannons.

Ao Muyang was busy, and his mobile phone rang. The call was from Li Ji. When he answered the call, Li Ji said excitedly: "Eve laid eggs!"

"What eggs? Oh, bastard!" Ao Muyang reacted suddenly.

He put down the golden thread fish and walked towards the beach of the reserve. From a distance, he saw Li Ji and the other two walking around.

Seeing this, he walked over and said with a smile: "Eve laid eggs, why are you acting like the child's father? Is it necessary to be so nervous? Where is the bastard?"

Li Ji rolled his eyes and said: "That's called turtle eggs, why do you say it so vulgarly."

Chen Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, turtle eggs, bastards, the same principle, they are almost the same. Now our main thing is to find a way to preserve these turtle eggs and try to see if they can hatch."

Ao Muyang asked: "Does this still need to be preserved artificially? Doesn't Eve watch over her offspring?"

Chen Xin sighed and said: "She will, but it can't, because this season is too cold. She laid eggs on the beach. Did you see it? Over there..."

Following his arm, Ao Muyang took out a telescope and looked carefully. They were not far from Eve's position, and they could clearly see the eggs she laid with the telescope.

There are now two turtle eggs on the beach, round, a bit like ping-pong balls, and the color of the eggshell is also like ping-pong balls, snow-white.

Eve continued to lay eggs. She lay there motionless. A few minutes later, another white turtle egg appeared on the beach.

Ao Muyang asked in surprise: "Hey, why doesn't it dig a hole?"

"Dig a hole and lay eggs like a turtle?" Yan Yinghao asked.

Ao Muyang said: "Yes."

Yan Yinghao laughed and said: "It's not a sea turtle, it's a spotted turtle. There is no beach in the environment where they usually live, so they don't dig holes to lay eggs."

Ao Muyang said: "If they lay their eggs outside so openly, wouldn't they be easily eaten by rats, snakes and birds?"

Yan Yinghao said: "Yes, that's right. Why do you think there are only four turtles left? Because it is difficult for them to reproduce, and it is even more difficult to survive after reproduction!"

"It's urgent to get the turtle eggs back now. The temperature is too low. They cannot develop below 24 degrees Celsius." Chen Xin said.

As he spoke, he felt a little sad again, rubbed his hands vigorously and said: "Hey, I didn't expect it. Why did this Eve suddenly lay eggs? They should only lay eggs in July. Why do you think they will lay eggs now? This We didn’t even prepare an incubator!”

Li Ji comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter. We have incubators in the reserve. They are special incubators for amphibians. They are imported from the United States and provided by the TSA organization. Each box can hatch forty or fifty turtle eggs at a time, which is definitely more than enough."

Chen Xin held his hand and said excitedly: "Professor Li, this is really a help to us. We never thought that Eve would lay eggs now."
