Chapter 63: Red Arowana
After parking the car near the county aquatic market, Xia Ruofei came to the lively market alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, he was not in a hurry to buy, but walked around the market first, and when he saw buyers and sellers chatting, he would also come over to listen to it and understand the market.
After walking for a while, Xia Ruofei had an intuitive understanding of the situation in the aquatic market, which not only sells all kinds of ornamental fish and edible fish, but also sells all kinds of fish fry, and the varieties are very complete.
Xia Ruofei knew that he had come to the right place, and he should be able to buy what he needed here.
Xia Ruofei found a store that looked quite big and walked in.
There was a row of large glass water tanks on each side of the store, which raised all kinds of ornamental fish, and a chubby man greeted him and asked enthusiastically:
"Boss, are you here to buy fish?"
Xia Ruofei looked at the situation in the store and said:
"You are selling ornamental fish, it seems that you are in the wrong place, I am here to buy farmed fish fry......"
After speaking, Xia Ruofei turned around and prepared to walk outside the store.
The fat boss hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Boss, don't be in a hurry to leave! We also sell fish fry, and they are all fish fry cultivated in imitation of the wild environment, and the quality is very high! What kind of fry do you need?
夏若飞 says:
"There are three types of grass carp, carp and silver carp, mainly grass carp, but it may not require much ...... if it is not too much."
When Xia Ruofei visited the aquatic market just now, he also checked the information with his mobile phone by the way, and knew that these three kinds of fish are the most common edible fish, and they can be polycultured.
"Yes, yes, these fry are in stock!" said the fat boss, "how many do you need?"
Xia Ruofei made a rough estimate according to the information he searched, and said:
"There are about 500 grass carp fry, and the other two kinds are 100 each!"
Generally speaking, an acre of fish pond is about 8,000 to 12,000, and now there are only twenty or thirty square meters of fish ponds in the space, so five or six hundred should be appropriate.
However, the space is different from the outside world, and the breeding density can be larger, if you really want that, it will be good to add some to it when the time comes.
The fat boss smiled and said:
"That's not much...... According to the rules, we need more than 5,000 fish to be considered wholesale, but meeting is fate, I can give you the wholesale price, how about 1 yuan 5 per tail?
This price is about the same as what Xia Ruofei found just now, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's take a look at the fish fry first!"
"Okay!"
The fat boss led Xia Ruofei to the inside of the store, pointed to a row of large fish tanks and said to Xia Ruofei:
"These are all shipped from the nursery base today, you see! There are not many hundreds of fish fry, you can just take them directly from the store." ”
Xia Ruofei looked at it, these fry are generally 2-3 cm in length, the specifications are very neat, and the body color is the same, the fish body looks clean and shiny, and he can't help but nod secretly.
The fat boss didn't lie, the quality of the fry should be good.
Xia Ruofei stretched out his hand again and stirred it lightly in the fish tank, only to see that the fry were disturbed and quickly ran away, and their reaction ability was very fast.
Xia Ruofei had a bottom in his heart and said:
"Boss, the fish fry are very good, I have a big plastic bucket in the car, you wait a minute, I'll drive the car over!"
"Okay, okay!" replied the fat boss.
Xia Ruofei returned to the parking lot, drove the pickup truck back to the fish fry shop, and took down several large plastic buckets from the car body and carried them into the store.
The fat boss had already found a guy to wait there, and Xia Ruofei immediately started fishing for fish fry after he flew in.
Five or six hundred fish fry are not much, and they are quickly caught, and Xia Ruofei paid a total of 900 yuan in cash - recently, Xijiangyue Club paid him six or seven thousand yuan a day, so Xia Ruofei had a lot of cash.
The fat boss enthusiastically helped Xia Ruofei move the plastic bucket to the pickup truck.
When Xia Ruofei was about to get in the car and leave, the young man in the store hurriedly walked out and said to the fat boss:
"Boss, that red dragon seems to be in a worse situation, I'm afraid it won't be able to feed it......"
The fat on the fat boss's face couldn't help but tremble a few times, revealing a painful expression, and said:
"Damn! Lao Tzu has lost a lot this time......
Xia Ruofei asked with some curiosity:
"Boss, what's going on?"
The fat boss hung his head and said:
"Hey, don't mention it...... I bought a red arowana a few days ago, and I wanted to raise it for a period of time and sell it at a good price, but I didn't expect to get sick in only five or six days, which is not ...... I don't think I can survive today!I'm going to have to hurry over and see if there's a way to ......."
Xia Ruofei's heart moved, and he was not in a hurry to leave, and followed the boss back to the store.
This red arowana was kept in a separate fish tank, about twenty-five centimeters long, and it was no longer able to maintain its balance, and it was floating in the fish tank with a red body that was slightly black and dull.
The young man said anxiously:
"Boss, it hasn't eaten for two days, and it doesn't work with salt and tetracycline, what should I do?"
The fat boss was in a very bad mood, and said when he heard the words:
"How do I know what to do? This is all in vain, I am not an immortal, can I still save it?"
Speaking of this, the fat boss shook his hand and said:
"Forget it, think you're unlucky! Just let it be that 8,000 yuan is wasted!"
Xia Ruofei took a deep look at the dying red arowana, and suddenly said:
"Boss, or ...... How about selling me this red arowana?"
The fat boss paused for a moment and said:
"This fish is dying, it's useless for you to buy it...... I'm in a serious business, and I can't do things that pit people!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said:
"Isn't this still dead? If I die, I can't ask for it. I'll tell you the truth, boss, I heard that the red arowana tastes good when steamed or fried, and I have long wanted to try one, but the price is too expensive, and now you can't feed this fish, so it's better to sell it to me cheaper, and you can reduce some losses......"
The fat boss was speechless for a while, the red arowana is a high-end ornamental fish with the meaning of auspiciousness, businessmen are especially favored, a good red arowana in Hong Kong and Macao can be sold for millions or even millions, this person actually wants to buy it back and kill it to eat?
But the fat boss can't care so much, at least what Xia Ruofei said is reasonable, if he doesn't sell it, the red arowana will die today, and it will really be worthless.
Selling it to Xia Ruofei can still sell for two dollars, which can be regarded as recovering the loss.
As for what Xia Ruofei bought back to do, it had nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it clearly, the fat boss nodded and said:
"Little brother, you can sell it, but you have also seen the situation of this fish, and you can't regret it after buying it!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said:
"Of course, boss, you can make a price! But don't drive too high, I can't afford to buy it if it's too high. ”
The fat boss groaned for a moment, and said tentatively:
"How about two thousand dollars? Little brother, I bought this fish for eight thousand. ”
Xia Ruofei thought about it for a while, and he didn't bother to bargain, mainly because the red arowana couldn't live anymore, and it was a waste of time to bargain, he nodded and said:
"Deal!"
After speaking, Xia Ruofei directly pointed out two thousand yuan in cash and handed it to the fat boss.
The fat boss also let out a long breath, although he lost 6,000 yuan, he finally sent this plague god out, and it was not a loss of money.
He made up his mind never to enter the arowana again, and he was scared once.
The fat boss sent a small plastic water tank, and carefully transferred the red arowana to the water tank and handed it to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei walked out of the store with the water tank in his hand, put the water tank directly on the mat of the passenger seat of the pickup truck, and then said hello to the fat boss, then got in the car and left in a hurry - this fish can't last long.
Xia Ruofei drove very fast, and after leaving the county seat, he found a place where no one was there to stop the car, and then his mind probed into the Lingtu space to take out a mineral water bottle.
This is the prepared petal solution, which he was originally going to send to Huzi's mother, but he has not had time to pass in the past two days, and now it just comes in handy.
Xia Ruofei unscrewed the cap of the bottle, poured about two tablespoons of petal solution into the plastic water tank, and then looked at the red arowana in the water tank intently, feeling a little nervous......
