They are stocked in the sewers where rice is washed and vegetables are washed in Huizhou, Anhui Province

In ancient times, turtles were kept in the drainage channels of Huizhou residents in Anhui Province where they washed rice and washed vegetables, acting as "scavengers" for building sewers.

In Huizhou, Anhui Province, where Huizhou ink is a specialty, residents at that time would put a few turtles in the drainage channels of their homes to act as scavengers. The sewer system at that time was to discharge dirty water and sewage out of the village from the drainage outlet of the house. Because in ancient times, people paid more attention to gathering wealth. When laying sewers, they were also curved and did not lead directly to the outside of the house. What is important is that Feng Shui jewelry and other items will not lead directly to the outside of the house.

In ancient Anhui Huizhou folk houses, because the sewer pipes were twisted and twisted, some silt would not flow directly into the silt tank where the silt was stored. Put a turtle at this time. Since turtles prefer such dark and humid places, they will crawl inside with the silt, thus acting as a "scavenger" in the sewer.

If the fish is raised well, you can change the water. If the fish is not raised well, you need to change the fish. Because fish are quite delicate, if the water temperature and quality are not suitable, they are likely to die. As the saying goes, the tortoise is a tortoise that is more durable than a thousand-year-old tortoise. In ancient times, some people even put turtles in sewers to act as scavengers.
