Text Chapter 241: Giant Tortoise

After playing a few jokes with Huang Darling, Zhou Jiexi looked at the turtle here again. Oh, no, it should be called a tortoise, a tortoise that looks huge like an elephant. That is tortoise species whose scientific name is giant tortoise.

Zhou Jiexi looked at the labels on the outside, the Yadabola tortoise, the subspecies of the Galapa tortoise, the Angolan tortoise, and the subspecies introduction of these tortoises. Zhou Jiexi took a closer look at the few big turtles inside, and it was indeed shocking. The largest subspecies of the Galapa tortoise alone reached Jessie Zhou's thigh in terms of height.

The length was more than one meter. When Zhou Jiexi stared at it, this giant tortoise was also looking at Zhou Jiexi. When it looked at Zhou Jiexi with those dark eyes, Zhou Jiexi felt that his eyes lit up a little, and it gave him the feeling that the wealth of the family had lost its bones, and he begged him for mercy. ran over.

And this kind of tortoise is also the same, but this girl walks a bit slower, Zhou Jiexi waited there for a while, and this girl slowly came to him. Stretching out its head through the iron railing, Zhou Jiexi stretched out his hand, and secretly put a little water of vitality in the space in his palm.

The tortoise rolled its eyeballs, sucked the tip of its nose a few times, and began to lick Zhou Jiexi's palm impatiently. After licking it for a while, it realized that there was no water coming out of it, and began to pamper Zhou Jiexi's hand with its head, and looked at Zhou Jiexi pitifully.

Seeing that, Zhou Jiexi himself felt a little soft-hearted, so he secretly poured water into his palm to drink it. After drinking a lot of this thing, I feel full, or in other words, the place where it stores water has already filled up the available space. So even if he still wants to drink, he can't drink it anymore. According to Zhou Jiexi's thinking, this tortoise must have drunk a lot of water before, or else this big tortoise can only drink so little? That's really a bit too sorry for its size.

Then the giant tortoise seemed to take two steps back, stretched its head back, and barked a few times in the direction behind it. Wanting to wake it up, he was still lazily lying on the ground and taking a nap with his companions. Unfortunately, after calling for a long time, a big guy got up. He began to slowly crawl towards Zhou Jiexi's position, but Zhou Jiexi couldn't be flattered at that speed, it was pitifully slow.

"Hehe, I will find friends to share, but judging by the way you look like a thief, this may be a wife or a lover. Of course, Xiaosi is also possible, but I just don't know if this species is that kind It’s a kind of animal.” Zhou Jiexi watched the behavior of the giant tortoise, and began to arrange the giant tortoise like a spoof.

And the tortoise seemed to have heard Zhou Jiexi's words, and yelled at Zhou Jiexi a few times in a hoarse voice, "Woooo...". As for what it meant, Zhou Jiexi could only say that he didn't know.

"Hehe... This little thing, uh, shouldn't it be this old thing." Zhou Jiexi murmured with a smile, and then looked at one of the white coats, who also saw Zhou Jie Xi was watching him, so he walked over immediately.

"Do you know how big this thing, uh, is this giant tortoise?"

"I know sir, this kind of thing is the Galappa tortoise, which is a subspecies of the Galapa tortoise. According to our calculations, this tortoise is about seventy years old now. If you compare it with us human beings, it’s probably about twenty-six or seventeen years old when you’re an adult.” The man in the white coat said politely to Zhou Jiexi.

"Oh, I'm only in my seventies. I thought that if you want to grow up this big, you have to be a few hundred years old or a thousand years old."

"Sir, it's so possible. According to scientists' estimates, the Galapa tortoise's lifespan is estimated to be only over two hundred years old. The oldest known tortoise is Harriet in the Australian Zoo. It is more than one hundred and seventy years old. I have never seen a tortoise that is hundreds or thousands of years old as you mentioned. I have never seen this kind of thing except for myths and stories. I have never seen a tortoise that is so old Passed!

"Um, it seems that the reality is not that exaggerated, but I don't know if there is a tortoise in the Celestial Dynasty that is hundreds of years old!" Zhou Jiexi thought for a while, and then stopped worrying about this issue. The turtle is planning to buy it!

"Okay, thank you for your introduction, I think these are good. Do I have to wait until the auction to buy them?" Zhou Jiexi said to the white coat. The man looked back and saw a The person who seemed to be in charge nodded.

He said to Zhou Jiexi with a smile on his face: "We still have a few tortoises. If you want, some of them can not be auctioned!"

As soon as Zhou Jiexi heard it, he understood that as long as you can afford the price, you don't have to go to the auction or something. "Hehe...very humanized service, well, you can set a price, I think it's suitable, and I'll write you a check." Zhou Jiexi said something, but he frowned again, "But how can I get this thing? go back?"

"Please don't worry, we can escort you home, you don't need to worry about this!" The man thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter, and he was startled in vain.

"This is the best, tell me how much it will cost."

"Okay sir, there are several types of original tortoise prices, most of which are based on age, while the price of sexually mature tortoises will be higher, and this kind of tortoise is probably over 20 years old. Ten There is a big price difference between a tortoise of a certain age and a tortoise of a certain age..." the white coat slowly said to Zhou Jiexi.

Zhou Jiexi looked at this person, he was indeed not a professional salesperson, and he talked for a long time without saying how much it was. Zhou Jiexi was not very interested in these things, so he said to him, "Stop, just tell me how much money you have, and stop talking nonsense."

Although the white coat is not professional, but his spirit is quite professional. For Zhou Jiexi who interrupted him, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled brighter and said to Zhou Jiexi: "Good sir, as you wish. This seventy-year-old is about four years old. 10,000 U.S. dollars, but including the following other expenses, the final price we will give you is 70,000 U.S. dollars."

"70,000 yuan a piece. This money is really fucking easy to earn. It's almost equivalent to a middle-class family's income for a year. This family also spends money to pay taxes. Maybe these people don't even need to pay taxes if they change their names. Handed over!" After Zhou Jiexi heard the quotation, he began to spit in his heart!
