Xanadu space

Zhang Xiang stretched his waist, and he knew who it was when he heard the voice!This Li Houtu didn't know where he hid since he came last time, I haven't seen him for a long time!

"Rare customer, why do you have time to come here? Have you settled all those contracts?"

Zhang Xiang remembered that when Li Houtu came here last time, he was making sweetfish here, and when he left, he said to get him something good, but this time he really brought it!

"Brother, thanks to your sweetfish, it was found to be wild after sending them over. My brother was really smart that time. Not only was the contract signed, but he also got a little price advantage!"

"After taking care of the money I gave them, I have finally paid back the money in the past few months. I was thinking about what I promised my brother last time. If I don't finish it well, how can I still have the face to see you?"

Li Houtu is also very interesting. If the fish in Xujia Lake were not given to him, after going through layers of fishmongers, Zhang Xiang could still make so much money there.

Not to mention those precious fish species, don't look at the high price. If there is no Lao Li directly wanting to trade with Zhang, those small fishmongers are afraid that the fish will die, so they will only give half or one-third of the price at most.

Zhang Xiang knew this matter well, and Lao Li helped him introduce the buyer of the orchid grass, and he didn't ask for a penny of the salamander, so he took this matter into his heart.

So every time Lao Li came, as long as he could help, he never refused. As for the last time Lao Li said to give him a Chinese sturgeon, he just smiled and didn't take it to heart!

"Brother, your yard is so beautiful, you really enjoy it!"

Li Houtu was amazed.Greeting Zhang Xiang to go to the farm to see the Chinese sturgeon he brought, he said with relish along the way:

"There is a story about getting these three Chinese sturgeons. I'll tell you when I have time! It's not easy to get those three guys!"

"The Chinese sturgeon was originally a first-class protected animal in the country. It is the oldest vertebrate on the earth. It is the descendant of the common ancestor of fish - the ancient stickleback. It is known as the "Yangtze River Fish King". I don't know how you Got it?"

"You should know that the country strictly prohibits fishing, so you can't play with fire!"

Zhang Xiang said with a smile, this old Li can always get a lot of rare fish species.Why didn't you see what happened to him?Did no one report it?

"It's impossible. You know, I'm a patriot. Now the National Maritime Museum still has endangered fish species that I donated. The words Li Houtu have even engraved a stone tablet for it!"

"In our business, we also pay attention to the rules. When we sell them, we pat their chests and say that they are guaranteed to be wild. What kind of proof should we get? If they are inspected, all of them have become artificial breeding, and no one has any objections to keeping them. !"

"We are generous. Don't look at the fact that I can make tens of millions or hundreds of millions of water a year, and I earn a lot of money, but I spend more. I don't donate a few rare fish species to the country that year. Tell the higher-ups, so as long as I, Li Houtu, handle the fish. Don't worry, I guarantee that there will be no problem!"

As he spoke, Zhang wanted to see the gate of the farm.A large enclosed water truck was parked, and this truck pulled away several thousand catties of fish at Zhang Xiang's place last time!

"Old Li, how many Chinese sturgeons did you bring me? Why is it such a big car?"

Zhang Xiang was puzzled. The water truck was extended and widened. When it stopped at the gate of the farm, it blocked the roads of several houses. How big is this Chinese sturgeon, and such a large cart can be used to load it!

"Do you want me to find something to put it in? Yanling, go get the water tank to put the fish in!"

Zhang wanted to remember that the giant salamander he got last time could fit in a large water tank. This time, he can bring at most two water tanks!

"Pfft, bro, you're underestimating brother, let's open the compartment and have a look first, and see if you're satisfied this time!"

Li Houtu's face was full of pride, and Zhang Xiang felt a "thump" in his heart. Looking at Lao Li's appearance, this Chinese sturgeon should not be small, and it is estimated that it is at least bigger than the salamander that was sent last time!

Zhang Xiang and Li Houtu went up from the back of the water truck. Lao Li took out the key from his body, opened the door of the water truck, and motioned him to look inside. Zhang Xiang was really stunned.

The half-full water tank is full of water, covering thirty to forty square meters, and there are three Chinese sturgeons with a spindle-shaped body, a pointed head and a long snout, and four whiskers in front of the mouth.

Its mouth is located on the ventral surface, stretchable, and can be stretched into a cylindrical shape. The body is covered with five rows of bone plates arranged longitudinally, one row on the back, two rows on the side and ventral side of the body, and each row has spinous protrusions.

What made Zhang Xiang dazed was their size and weight. He made a preliminary estimate, and a smaller Chinese sturgeon weighed one to two hundred catties, about the length of a person.

The other two were bigger, weighing three to four hundred catties, and were at least two meters away, so the inside of the water tank seemed narrow for these three fish, no wonder they were so big!

"Lao Li, you brought the fish king here. My God, this fish has been around for decades!"

Before Zhang Xiang got out of the car, he let out an exclamation first. He even suspected that this old Li had stolen his fish king.

"Brother, put this fish in the waterwheel first! You can just put it in the lake!" Li Houtu jumped off the waterwheel and slapped the dust off the mountain.

Because the waterwheel blocked the road to the farm, Li Houtu asked someone to move the waterwheel. When Zhang Hongbing and the others came back in the evening, they planned to get the Chinese sturgeon into the lake.

Some tourists who live in the farm stand upstairs and look down, and they can also see the few Chinese sturgeons clearly. People are curious animals, and there are strange things, all of them are surrounded!

"What is that? It looks a bit like a Chinese sturgeon?"

"No, where is the Chinese sturgeon I saw so big?"

"The Chinese sturgeon is a national protected animal. It will appear in the farm there. You must have misunderstood it!"

"That's not necessarily true. It might be the released Chinese sturgeon. You don't feel that the water quality of this lake is particularly good, do you?"

Some daring and curious guests also climbed into the car to watch the fun. Looking from the outside of the waterwheel, the Chinese sturgeon was really big. People who watched it were amazed, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time.

Zhang Xiang originally wanted to get the Chinese sturgeon into the space, but with so many people and the size of the Chinese sturgeon, it was really difficult to get it in quietly!

"Xiao Li, will it be illegal for you to get such a big Chinese sturgeon? We ordinary people, we can't do illegal things!"

Zhang Hongbing is a little uneasy, the key point is that the Chinese sturgeon is too big, he is not like sweetfish or something, even if it is a rare fish species, he will not punch eyes like this!

People like them who often fish in the lake have never seen some fish species protected by the state, but those are small and unobtrusive, and even if you eat them and sell them, few people know about them.

The Chinese sturgeon that was dragged here today is different. It is too big for few people to hold it up. The key is that there are too many people in the farm. It's terrible!

He is an authentic farmer, so he became more and more uneasy, and couldn't help asking about Li Houtu.

"It's okay, uncle. I've made arrangements. It's just that the fishery administrator came to you to make sure everything's fine. What's the relationship between Xiangzi and I? How can I hurt him?"

Li Houtu was actually more than ten years younger than Zhang Hongbing, but because he was commensurate with Zhang Xiang's brother, he took the initiative to demote himself and called Zhang Xiang's father uncle.

While talking, he took out a certificate from his pocket, waved it in his hand, and said in a loud voice on purpose:

"This is the certificate of adoption and breeding that I specially issued from the Chinese sturgeon protection area. These three Chinese sturgeons were given to me for development and breeding for free!"

As Li Houtu said, he handed the certificate to Zhang Xiang, and motioned him to put it away. Zhang Xiang opened it and glanced at it, unable to hide his astonishment. This old Li has a lot of tricks, and he can get all this out?

"That's right, you actually got a certificate from the fishery administration? Good guy, now I can raise it openly!"

Zhang Xiang was a little excited, this old Li did a good job, but then again, if it wasn't like this, how could the three Chinese sturgeons have been sent to the farm all the way!

"It depends on who it is, but you have to remember that those Chinese sturgeons have to be said to be used for protection and breeding. It's enough to know some things, and it's fine if you don't tell them!"

Li Houtu smiled, because he had a really good relationship with Zhang Xiang, and because he had something to ask him, he would go to great lengths to get the three Chinese sturgeons and send them here with proof.

Zhang Xiang smiled knowingly, showing that he knew it well, and called a few people to help move the Chinese sturgeon into the water tank first, and then send it to the lake.

Even the smallest of the three Chinese sturgeon weighed one or two hundred catties. Zhang thought they would put on water jackets and go up with four or five men, ready to catch the smaller one in the water first.

"This small one is a male fish, and the two big ones are females. We have to be careful not to hurt the fish!"

Li Houtu greeted, it is not easy to transport the Chinese sturgeon here, if it is injured, it will not be easy to survive in the lake.

Zhang wanted to smile, if this old Li came here in the dark, it would be so convenient to get the fish into the space when no one was around, and there would be such troubles there!

The water in the tank was more than one meter deep, and people standing in it wearing water jackets were far inferior to the flexibility of those Chinese sturgeons.

Zhang wanted to put in the big water tank, aiming at the male Chinese sturgeon to stop it in front, Li Houtu stood at the corner of the waterwheel, Zhang Hongbing and the others chased behind, hoping that the Chinese sturgeon could escape into the water tank by itself.

The Chinese sturgeon has a large body, but it is extremely flexible in the water. Although the water level inside is not deep, it can always escape through the gaps of several people.

And the other two Chinese sturgeons also caused trouble inside. This is why Zhang thought they didn't dare to play hard, which made it more difficult to catch.

"Auntie, why didn't Zhang Xiang see it?"

Thinking of Ah Yong's voice outside the water tank, Zhang wanted to move a little. It would be best not to let Mr. Wang and the others know about the Chinese sturgeon, otherwise who knows what will happen! (to be continued..)
