Since this shipment came, the boss has not been idle, holding the invoice in his hand to inspect the goods, check the quantity and type one by one, and at the same time take pictures of each type of coral with his mobile phone, and keep muttering that the corals are a little small, and the color of the corals is not as good as the pictures...... After all, he and the shipper are also in contact online, and there are still some differences between pictures, videos and real objects.

Hearing Zhang Zi'an call him, he walked over quickly, "Which ones do you want?"

"These forked branches, stars, torches, bubbles, jewel anemones, octopus feet, ......" Zhang Zi'an pointed to the corals he had chosen, and the boss recorded the numbers.

"This handsome guy is playing coral for the first time?" the boss asked, raising his eyes.

Zhang Zi'an was stunned, he had tried his best to hide the fact that he was a coral rookie, but he didn't know how the other party saw it?

"Quite simply, these are the scientific names of corals, but local people who play corals don't usually call them so formally. The boss laughed.

"Hmph, I was still a little confused when I heard the word 'forked branch dry star', and I thought that this is a new coral species - it turned out to be a branched brain. ”

At some point, the female customer also came over, with disdain for the newbie in her tone. She may have picked her favorite coral and wanted to come over to see the color of the goods Zhang Zi'an selected.

was called by the other party, Zhang Zi'an's face was slightly feverish. He had only seen these corals in the book on paper, but the book only wrote the scientific names of these corals, not their nicknames, and he was immediately seen through in front of the veteran.

"If it's your first time raising corals, none of the ones you choose are easy to raise......" the boss reminded.

"It's okay, just pay the tuition. Zhang Zi'an replied.

His self-confidence comes from the fact that he has top-notch equipment, because playing aquarium is playing with equipment, and the more high-end equipment is, the more difficult it is to raise.

"Well, I kind of appreciate that. The female customer nodded, "It's boring to go from easy to difficult step by step." ”

"Okay. "Of course, the boss will not object, whoever pays will have the final say.

He turned around and took the calculator, "I'll calculate the price......

"Wait, there's this, I want this too, how much does it cost?" Zhang Zi'an said, pointing to the coral attached to the living stone fragments.

In order to highlight the color of the landscape tank and the reef tank, the lights on the second floor were dim, and the boss and the female customer didn't notice that there was a coral hidden there.

"Huh? ”

The boss has obviously checked the purchase list just now, and the corals on the purchase list are exactly one by one correspondence with the current corals, how can there be an extra coral out of thin air?

He frowned and counted the number again, if not counting the coral, the number was just right.

In other words, the sender sent an extra coral.

In order to import corals, he has dealt with Indonesian farms many times, and knows that those mercenary guys can't be so kind, and the only explanation is that this coral is epiphytic next to other corals, and because it is so inconspicuous, it was mined and packed and shipped, and he didn't even notice it during customs quarantine.

Unfortunately, this coral is not a precious species – the precious coral must be beautiful, and this coral is small and ugly.

But...... He took a closer look, and in his experience, he didn't recognize what kind of coral it was.

"This thing is ......"

He groaned, pretending to think, embarrassed to admit that he couldn't get it right.

The female customer next to her glanced at it and smiled firmly: "This is Rose Coral, don't you even know this, boss?"

Although Rose Coral has a nice and romantic name, it is actually ugly among corals, and its color is also dull, and most aquarium players are not interested in this kind of coral.

In addition, the appearance of rose corals is known for their bohemian and uninhibited love of freedom, in the category of "rose corals", some rose corals look similar to other species of corals, and some rose corals are obviously the same species, but the appearance is very different, which often causes confusion to the classification and definition of coral researchers, which can be described as chameleons in the coral world.

"Uh......"

The boss's heart moved, he only had a very faint impression of rose coral, he had introduced it individually before, but he couldn't sell it at all, and in the end he forgot how to deal with it.

Some corals are easier to distinguish when they have formed a community, and Rose Coral is one of them.

"The light was too dim, I didn't see it clearly, but it was indeed a rose coral. He smiled calmly.

Rose coral?

Zhang Zi'an muttered a little in his heart.

He had suspected it before, thinking that this coral was quite similar to rose coral, maybe one of the subspecies, but it looked a little plausible, but he had never seen the real thing after all, and the rose coral was notoriously difficult to distinguish, so he didn't dare to make a presumptuous assertion.

Since both the boss and the female customer said it was Rose Coral, then probably, they were more experienced, and he was just a rookie.

"Okay, how much does this rose coral cost?" he asked.

“…… Give 50 bucks and take it. The boss said.

"Hmph. The female customer seemed to be smiling, and a slight sneer came out of her nose, because such a small rose coral was not worth anything at all, and Zhang Zi'an bought other corals, which could be asked to be used as an additive, otherwise it would be rotten in the hands of the boss.

A rookie is a rookie, so it's just a matter of paying tuition, so is she.

"Rose coral doesn't look very good, but it's easy to raise, and it's good to practice with it. The boss laughed, quickly pressed the calculator, and quoted the total price.

Zhang Zi'an didn't make a counteroffer, he exposed his identity as a rookie, and there was no way to bargain, so he was humiliated.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were quite sympathetic to him.

"The iron rooster that doesn't pull out the hair, and the store manager is probably pitted this time. ”

"I used to hear the manager of the barge shop talk about it, and I thought he was also an expert in aquariums...... It's pretty much like it!"

"50 yuan is also money, don't take mosquito legs for meat!

After Zhang Zi'an finished paying, the boss prepared another small incubator for him, put the corals he selected into it, and then injected oxygen, and advised: "It's still cold, the water temperature drops quickly, keep them warm as soon as possible after you go back, otherwise you will die easily." ”

"Got it, thank you. ”

Zhang Zi'an picked up the incubator and left the coral specialty store with Xiaoxue.

The female customer also checked out and left.

"I don't have time to walk around the first floor with you. Zhang Zi'an said to Xiaoxue apologetically, "I have to bring the coral back as soon as possible, and I will buy it at a big price, in case I die, I will lose a lot." ”

On the first floor, there are all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, octopuses and other marine creatures, and I originally planned to finish it in one go today, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the time was delayed due to some small accidents.

In fact, the aquarium in his store has not been customized, and he is not in a hurry to introduce these creatures for the time being.

"Ah, it's okay, it's not too early anyway. "Xiaoxue looked at the time, she came out to play crazy for a long time today, she can't get too carried away, otherwise she will be scolded again.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were about to say goodbye to Xiaoxue again, and they were angry with Zhang Zi'an.

"Okay, that's all for today's live broadcast, new friends remember to pay attention to Xiaoxue's live broadcast room and Weibo, the next live broadcast time will be announced on Weibo in advance - if nothing else, next time I will lead you to visit the Qiyuan Aquarium!

As the voice landed, she also exited the app and ended today's live broadcast.

Zhang Zi'an and Xiaoxue said goodbye to each other and took a taxi home.
