Chapter 811: Empty Aquarium

Binhai has experienced only a few typhoons since its founding, and it has largely passed by without major damage. Zhang Zi'an has never experienced a typhoon, Jiang Feifei, a mainland girl, has never experienced it, and even Wang Qian and Li Kun have put down their work and can listen attentively.

The horror of a typhoon can only be truly felt if you have experienced it yourself.

In the face of that kind of devastating disaster, people can survive and their lives have been fortunate, where can they take care of the safety of their pets?

The survivor steals life, and the dead are gone.

Jiang Feifei's heart was a little uncomfortable, not because the clownfish who was lucky enough to survive the buffonavirus died after all, but because grandma and Xiao Yanagiying finally became alienated again, just like with the death of the clownfish as a link, the relationship they had finally established collapsed.

She even secretly complained to Liu Ying, wouldn't it be better if this story ended abruptly after Grandma said the words that the dragon prince came to pick up the clownfish? Why did she also tell the rest of the story? So that the story with fairy tale colors has a realistic ending, just like the prince and the princess not only lived together, but even quarreled every day for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and finally agreed to divorce and divide the family property.

But because of an imperfect ending, she knew that Liu Ying didn't make up a story casually.

In fact, this is not a story about clownfish, but a story about Liu Ying and her grandmother.

"What about later, didn't you raise fish again?" Qin An's shoulders carried the camera steadily, and the camera kept pointing at Liu Ying as she spoke. He never thought that his old partner would have such a thrilling past.

"Marina City rarely experiences typhoons, and you should have enough power to protect clownfish now, right?" he asked.

Although he is only a photographer, he has been out with reporters for a long time and knows what to ask and when.

Liu Ying was immersed in the memories for a long time and couldn't extricate herself, the thumb of her right hand unconsciously rubbed her index finger, and there was a non-conspicuous white mark on the side of her index finger, as if it had been scratched by something sharp.

"I didn't ...... No, I actually have plans to raise it. Liu Ying replied slowly, "After working at the TV station, I took out a loan to buy a house and had my own home - spacious, bright, sturdy, sturdy, and located on the upper floor, even if a typhoon comes, it will not enter the water." The day after I got the key, I bought a 1.5 meter brand-name aquarium with two tubes on the lid, and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, as well as filtration and oxygenation equipment, which cost me more than 3,000 yuan at the time, and now I probably can't buy more than 3,000 yuan. However, after the aquarium was delivered to my home, I never thought about raising fish, as if I was not in the mood for it......"

Zhang Zi'an can somewhat understand her feelings, because the person who used to raise fish with her is no longer there.

Or rather, she was still waiting for the person who gave the clownfish to her.

"And then there has been no fishing, and the aquarium has been empty?" Qin An made a cameo appearance as a reporter.

"No, of course it's not empty, it's too wasteful, and there's some sundries in it. Liu Ying smiled faintly, "When I picked up my parents to play in Binhai City, they were very surprised and distressed when they saw the aquarium, and they felt that it was a waste to buy a fish tank without raising fish." ”

"Do they remember when you were a kid and raised a clownfish?" Qin An asked keenly.

"No, they remember that I raised fish when I was a child, and they remember that I was pierced by a hook and had tetanus, but they have forgotten what fish they raised. She replied, a lonely smile on her face.

After a moment of silence, she lifted her spirits and smiled cheerfully: "Ah, by the way, my parents have retired, and this year I plan to take them to play around the country, and the first stop will start from my hometown, I haven't been back for a long time - of course, the premise is that I can ask for a long vacation from the Taiwan leader......"

"This, I think it's a little more difficult. Qin An said, "Now there is a shortage of manpower in Taiwan, and it is estimated that you will not be able to ask for leave until after the job fair for fresh graduates, and a few reliable interns will be recruited." ”

Liu Ying sighed, and said to Zhang Zi'an apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, am I stealing too much drama......?

"It's okay, I think it's good. In fact, the pair of clownfish you buy may be wild, so the chance of contracting alkonica is higher, and if it is a clownfish bred in captivity, it is relatively less likely to get sick. Zhang Zi'an said.

"Really, I thought the wild had a better physique?" Liu Ying was surprised.

Zhang Zi'an corrected her misconception, "The wild one is more beautiful, but the problem of physique is not necessarily - the key is not the wild one, do you know how the wild clownfish is caught?"

"You can't catch a net, can you?" she said jokingly.

Zhang Zi'an replied solemnly: "No, clownfish are often accompanied by sea anemones, cruising between the reefs on the bottom of the sea, and it is difficult to catch them with fishing nets. As far as I know, wild clownfish are often caught by drugged into the sea, so wild clowns should be left alone after they are bought, and should not be fed until the residual medicinal properties are completely gone, and their physique returns to normal, and they should not be in a hurry to feed them or put them together with sea anemones. ”

"Caught under the drug?" Liu Ying was shocked when she heard this.

"Yes, a small dose of narcotic medicine numbs the clownfish on the bottom of the sea, and allows them to float to the surface of the sea, where they can be easily fished up - if it were not for this, the price of wild clownfish would have doubled several times. Zhang Zi'an said.

"That's ...... Won't they numb to death?" asked Liu Ying worriedly.

"Of course it's possible, but for the captor, a few lives count as a few, and one or two die doesn't matter. Zhang Zi'an then emphasized: "The clownfish here I have was not caught by medicine, so only this one has a white membrane among so many clownfish." ”

"So it seems that people should still be encouraged to buy captive-bred clownfish?" she asked in a reporter's tone.

Zhang Zi'an nodded affirmatively, "Especially for novices in the sea tank, it is best not to covet the gorgeousness of wild clownfish, but to choose artificially bred clownfish, which are relatively cheaper and easier to raise." In addition, there are more and more variants of wild clownfish due to environmental pollution and crossbreeding with released captive clownfish, such as an unidentified variant in my case. ”

He motioned for them to take a closer look at the clownfish in the quarantine tank, "How's it going, isn't it the same one you raised when you were a kid?"

Liu Ying frowned and looked at it carefully for a while, although the memories of her childhood were not very solid, the memories of the clownfish were still clear, and she was sure that this clownfish was not the same as the clownfish she had raised.

"It's not the same. She said sincerely, "This one is much better looking than the clownfish I was a child with!"

Qin An interjected: "Like people, mixed-race people are often more beautiful?"

"Probably. Zhang Zi'an is not a professional in genetics, so he can only answer like this.

"By the way, I just wanted to ask, why are there newspapers on both sides of your fish tank?" Liu Ying pointed to the sides of the fish tank in confusion, which were covered by thick old newspapers.

"I don't understand either. Jiang Feifei said. She is gradually improving her understanding of the breeding of aquarium creatures, but there are still many things she doesn't understand, and she is embarrassed to ask all the time, because Zhang Zi'an is very busy, and she plans to save more and ask again.

"Quite simply, it's to block out the light, to create an atmosphere like being in a cave under the sea, and to give clownfish a sense of security. "Clownfish are very sensitive animals, their vision is sensitive to light and color, bright and bright colors can scare them, and too dark can make them frightened. However, the fun of keeping clownfish is that once they are raised, they will get to know you and even be able to get close to you like a kitten or a puppy. ”

To prove his word, he led everyone to another healthy clownfish, took a little minced shrimp meat, and pinched it with his fingers and poked it into the water.

The clownfish, which was quietly lurking at the bottom of the tank, smelled the food, flicked its tail and floated up, swam around his fingers a few times, and swallowed the shrimp meat in one bite, looking not afraid of people.

After eating the shrimp, it didn't leave immediately, but lingered around his finger and even leaned up to suck it a few times.

"Can I try it too?" Liu Ying was envious, she hadn't fed clownfish like this when she was a child, she just threw minced shrimp meat into it, and then watched them grab their own food.

"I advise you not to, because they recognize people, and if you put your hand in it, they will either be too scared to come closer, or they will bite when they open their mouths - clownfish have teeth, and even if they can't bite their skin, it will hurt. Zhang Zi'an persuaded.

"It's a pity. She said regretfully, and suddenly asked hurriedly, as if she remembered something, "What about ...... The faint reflections I saw in the fish tank at that time, maybe they were really staring at me?"

She was referring to the moment before she left her home for evacuation during the typhoon.

Zhang Zi'an nodded silently.

"That's right......" she was silent.

Qin An saw that she really liked clownfish very much, and she had such an experience, so she pouted: "Why don't you buy a few? ”

Liu Ying hesitated, the clownfish here are indeed beautiful, the species are rare, and Zhang Zi'an's fame and word-of-mouth endorsement are a good opportunity to buy, if you wait for the official opening of the Qiyuan Aquarium, maybe it will be sold out soon.

"Okay, then I'll buy two and give them to myself as a gift. She finally made up her mind.

Qin An said in surprise: "Two, why don't you buy a few more? Your 1.5 meter fish tank, what is it to keep two? How ugly is the emptiness!"

She still insisted: "Just raise two, including this one." ”

She was referring to the one with buffy membrane.
