Chapter 45: Selling Fish

Ning Weimin was carefully selected, and carefully inquired about fish farming with the fish seller.

I bought these pairs of mature angelfish at a high price.

How much is the water temperature, what kind of fish food is usually fed to the small fish, he strictly follows the past, and raises it very carefully.

Therefore, the pairs of fish moved to a new environment and adapted to it.

There was neither sickness nor death.

And within a few days, a small tube actually appeared under the female fish male of the pair of "three-color fairies" and began to sag.

That is to say, good things are coming.

Under Ning Weimin's overjoy, sure enough, one day in early June, the mother fish began to lick the board.

This is what the proactive clearing of the spawning area becomes.

Wait until it becomes more and more frequent, to the point where it licks the board almost non-stop.

Ning Weimin knew that it was time to make special preparations for the hatching tank for breeding fish eggs, and it was time to receive the money!

To be honest, the technical requirements in this regard are actually not difficult.

The main thing is that the water temperature and oxygen are well controlled.

Specifically, the water must be trapped in advance, and then the water temperature in the incubator tank must be set slightly higher than the temperature in the breeding tank.

Finally, it is necessary to ensure that the trapped water and oxygen in the incubator tank are sufficient.

Of course, since there is no professional electric equipment in these years, all this can only be ensured by local methods.

For example, regarding the temperature, Ning Weimin except for the sun and water.

The only thing that can be done is the method of light bulb baking.

He connected four large 60-watt light bulbs to the bathtub with a wooden plank.

The power is just okay, and it can't be half of the effect of the bath bomb.

As for oxygen, it's even more laborious.

There was no oxygen in the trapped water for a long time, and Ning Weimin had nowhere to get an oxygen pump.

He can only artificially produce oxygen by repeatedly agitating with a water scoop.

This is the main reason why angelfish are scarce in the market at this time.

Although the trick is just a layer of thin paper, because of the lack of equipment, it is a new thing.

Except for Ning Weimin, no one knows how to pierce it today.

Simple technology, at this time it still seems very high-end.

This should also be regarded as a dividend of the times.

In short, after Ning Weimin tossed for almost two hours, the female fish finally began to spawn on the laying board.

At this time, the male fish also follows and sprinkles sperm on the eggs.

It seems that the male fish will swim slowly with the female fish above the plate, and the work is called "slippery".

The whole process lasts about an hour before the spawning ends.

During this period, the most feared thing is the drastic changes in sound and light, which will interfere with the male and female.

So for the sake of safety, Ning Weimin not only went out of the house by himself.

They even stood guard at the window outside, begging the neighbors passing by to be as quiet as possible.

Whoever looks at him is Shinto.

After waiting for the successful completion of the spawning, Ning Weimin will take away the board that has finished spawning.

It is then carefully placed in the ready incubator, which is called the "lifting method".

But at this point, it can only be said that I am half relieved, and it is far from the time when it is finished.

The last few days are the most important aspects of a successful hatch

Therefore, in order to ensure that the fish eggs can be smoothly "rolled".

Ning Weimin not only put his own diluted eye drops in the water to ensure the water quality and inhibit the growth of bacteria in the water.

I also specially looked for the master who repaired his watch a few days ago and borrowed an old soot blowing bag.

He had attached a thin plastic straw to the hatching tank, facing the board, and every now and then, he had to pinch it a few times.

It is good to supply sufficient oxygen with minimal movement.

But even so, after 20 hours of incubation, it is still difficult to avoid the appearance of more or less bad eggs.

Normal eggs are transparent as a whole.

Bad eggs, on the other hand, will turn white and be opaque under the light.

Needless to say, the harm of these bad eggs is that they will continue to infect the surrounding fish eggs.

It was only after 48 hours that the eggs began to grow small tails and began to wobble and roll down to the bottom of the tank.

Dead eggs that have deteriorated will stop causing damage.

It's called "rolling".

When the eggs roll down, all the small fish gather at the bottom of the tank and wriggle, like small insects.

This situation will basically remain in place for another two days before the small fish can grow eyes and begin to "take off".

But at this time, it has basically passed the attrition level.

It was only at this time that Ning Weimin could really relax.

Otherwise, being able to successfully incubate the Seven Achievements is the biggest reward.

Roughly estimate the profit you are about to make

Ning Weimin suddenly felt that all his efforts were not in vain, and he was tired of it, and he suffered a crime - it was worth it!

Five days later, when the small fish grow upper and lower fins and swim in groups, it is quite a spectacle!

Not to mention that Ning Weimin was happy to look at it, even a fishmonger named Gu Si'er that he brought back from the market was frowning.

"Oh my god, brother, are you really out of a nest?"

"That's right, you don't look at it, it's not a parent, can it be the same? ”

"Ouch, you're really this one in the fish handle! I've never seen anyone hatch so much. It's good to have thirty or forty in a litter. You're going to have to be a master......"

"That's not, it's not me who blows, I'm the only one who scorpion in the capital. If you're looking for a second person, you really can't find it. ”

"No, I said, I am absolutely convinced. I've seen a master today. Your ancestors wouldn't have done this, would they?"

"Where is that possible, what kind of seed do we have here? This trick is in foreign magazines, in my opinion......"

"No wonder, you still know foreign words?"

"What's the matter, I speak English very well, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, hey, master! Not to mention that this person still has to be capable, has the ability to do it, and there are opportunities to make money everywhere......"

In short, one sincerely admires, the other is well-deserved, and they are both people who know how to play with fish, and the two chatted happily.

But don't look at these things with great interest, it's a bit of a confidant, and it really touches on the actual interests, which makes Ning Weimin a little disappointed.

One is that Gu Si'er is a little uninteresting, and he even fantasizes about buying his trick of raising fish for a hundred yuan.

The second is the auspicious price of 66 yuan Bao Wo'er that he offered, and Gu Si'er did not agree.

"What's the matter, you're alright. Do you really think it's expensive? A fish is less than two cents. This is a fairy, you just take it out and sell it tomorrow, at least three cents a piece. If you raise it for two more days, you will get four or five cents to sell it in the market. I'm giving you a good price. ”

Ning Weimin was unhappy, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Brother, you're right, if I'm rich, I really want to stay!"

For this reason, Gu San was a little embarrassed to tell the truth.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I can't earn four or five yuan in a morning market. Your fish is good, it's just too much. ”

"I'm not you, not as good as you, and I have to go to work. I really ate it in one go, in case one of them was not taken care of and accidentally the fish died. I have to pay for my two months' salary, and my family can't live anymore. ”

"Besides, it's hard for me to take so many fish in one go. If you want to sell it quickly, you don't have such a good price. "Why don't we count it according to the article? I'll take two cents and one from you, how about taking fifteen yuan first? I have to sell what I have before I can get the goods again." ”

Ning Weimin couldn't believe it.

"I said, that's not what you said when you came. You're not a tropical fish professional in the morning market, how can you not even fit a nest of fish? ”

Gu Si'er blushed even more.

"Don't say that, brother. Mainly, I didn't expect you to be a man of God. Your litter is the top of other people's nests. Otherwise, I can't help you, and the next time I come, I can add two cents to each one. It won't make you lose money on fish food. ......"

"I said you're in trouble, aren't you in trouble, are you really ......?"

"Hey, if I have a nonsense, I'll choke to death with you. I really can't help it. What we are doing is indeed a small business, just to play while subsidizing the days to make a little money. It's not just me, it's just you, it's the same if you go to the official garden, and no matter how great the master, you'll eat you half a nest. It's not that you don't want it, it's that you really don't have any money in your hands, and it's really not easy to get it out. Everybody has to live, there's no way!"

Ning Weimin heard this, and his heart was really a little cold.

Just a dozen dollars at a time to go out?

He was also thinking about hatching a nest of angelfish.

In the future, if he haggles with fishmongers from all walks of life every day, and at the same time has to take care of the seed fish and small fish, how tired will he be?

Originally, he also wanted to play and earn money, but at this time he was already feeling a little tired.

It seems that I thought it was too beautiful at the beginning, but I lost it when I ate this line of work.

In these years, there are really few people who make money by fishing.

Not only did he have no money, but he didn't have the guts. It is really adventurous and ambitious, and there is an opportunity to make money, but I dare not go head-on.

To put it bluntly, there are few serious people who know how to do business.

"I said, fifty-five lines can't be done, even if I suffer a loss, you can take it all! Like yours, it's better for me to pick and sell it myself. ”

Seeing that Ning Weimin was unhappy and a little anxious, Gu Si'er could only sigh.

"That's it, brother, I'll give you twenty-five dollars this time, and I'll get you one hundred and twenty first. I'm going to say you're not cheap, I'm a puppy. But if I could shell out a penny more, I'd be a puppy!"

"I'm almost three people. I wouldn't be stupid enough to take a nest of fish at fifty-five, but I would have to give you seventy-five. Isn't that right?"

"I'll say one more thing, don't think I don't know how to buy you to make money in a hundred years. Your method of incubation is truly precious. But no matter how precious it is, someone has to be able to afford it, right?"

"The price of 100 yuan, that's what I dare to call out. I really don't believe anyone can be taller than me. Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, this is the only point of water in the line, and others may not have the courage of me. ”

"I said, brother, are you in a hurry to use the money? It doesn't matter, if that's the case, I can help you contact two friends, and get fish from you together." If you are willing to pass on the recipe, we can also buy it together. Even if it's a favor for you......"

Good guys, this cheap is doing me a favor.

Ning Weimin's nose was not only crooked, but his heart was completely depressed.

He was not so blind, so he sold the method of fish farming so cheaply.

For money, he is even more reluctant to relax one.

But...... The situation that Gu Si'er said also reflects the reality of the situation.

The market has not risen, and the quality of the personnel is not good, and it is in vain to say that there are 1,000 and 10,000.

It's difficult, it's easy to make money these days, but it's hard to make a lot of money easily.

I can't give full play to the advantages of capital and scale in doing anything, so I can only rely on coolies to make a small fuss.

For the first time, he felt how anxious the primary market was.

Not only is the system very restrictive, but even people's minds are severely imprisoned.

Thinking that at this time, he wanted to tell Gu Si'er that there would be hundreds of thousands, millions of ornamental fish in the future.

It is estimated that he can really scare Gu Si'er away and treat him as a psychopath.

So what else can be done?

can only wait for the market to slowly mature.

"Come on, twenty-five is twenty-five. Let's talk about it first, I'll wait for you for three days. After three days, if you don't come, I'll give the fish to someone else. ”

"Okay. That's it. ”
