The old softshell turtle weighed thirteen jin and eight taels, and softshell turtles over ten jin are rarely found in the market, so it's hard to set a price.
In the end, the price was set by Zhao Xia herself, a lump sum of eight thousand.
Chu Mingcheng had no objections; he was very satisfied with the price. In some parts of the market, wild softshell turtles over five jin could sell for six hundred fifty yuan per jin, but there had to be willing buyers.
The other four turtles each weighed between three and four jin, priced at three hundred fifty yuan per jin, bringing in a total of five thousand.
From the five turtles, Chu Mingcheng earned thirteen thousand, and he suddenly felt making money was so easy.
But he immediately shook his head, dismissing such unrealistic thoughts.
Wild softshell turtles were rare, and his catch today was only because he took advantage of the abandoned pond that no one else was using.
