Chapter 64: Koi
Get off the boat, go back to the hotel, close the door Andy pounced directly on him, licking all over SC Johnson's body, like a volcanic eruption.
One operation is as fierce as a tiger!
I once read a magazine that said: The woman of the magic capital is a natural fashion animal, no matter what her family background and situation is, no one knows everything about fashion and fashion, and she has a lot of treasures about diamonds, brand-name clothing, famous watches, famous cars, etc.
When dealing with people, it is always customary to glance at each other, and quickly judge the other party's grade from the details of the other party's clothes, accessories, watches, men's shoes and cuffs.
Petty bourgeoisie, pretty, intelligent, eye-catching, in any difficult environment will also retain a piece of elegance, even in the boring life does not forget beauty and poetry.
If they like a man, they will gradually and subtly build the other person into the man they think of as a man with good taste, will tell you that the tip of the tie should hit the center of the belt, will prompt you to wear a bright yellow tie on the old-fashioned suit to outline your difference, will take you to a deep alley and say that there is a master made of pants that are very tangible.
Of course, all of the above is bullshit!
Scored three times, lay on the bed, asked Andy to brush his teeth again, wash them, and feed himself oranges with his mouth, all of them said that the magic capital is a masterpiece?
Why don't I feel it?
The next morning, refreshed, the magic girl is enough to be angry, not only unlocked a few new poses last night, but even took the initiative to ask to go through the back door, fortunately Johnson doesn't like that kind of tone.
Tip 50,000 yuan, check out and leave. Back to the nine rooms, the koi fish booked at ten o'clock will be delivered to the door, and it is a big deal to help the little ones arrange a new home.
"Mr. Zhuang, thirty-six koi, purebred blood, this is their birth paper. ”
Boss Liu personally followed the car, carefully checked the water quality, and supervised the workers to re-disinfect before putting the koi into the pond.
"You look at the red-crowned koi on the left, the whole body is snow-white, only there is a red round spot in the middle of the head, when swimming like a white dragon over the river, when it is quiet, if Danyang lies in the water. In feng shui, the main career is prosperous, and the official fortune is prosperous, so it has the reputation of good luck. ”
Johnson watched as the koi fish were put into the pond, the largest was more than 40 centimeters, and the smallest was 278 centimeters, with an average of 8 or 900 yuan each.
"Danding has been regarded as a strange fish since ancient times, there was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, Ye Xianggao, known as the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, who loved Danding all his life. ”
Boss Liu pulled Zhuang Chen and introduced: "Before becoming an official, I studied all day long on the shore of Liyu Lake in Shizhu Mountain, and after gaining fame in the eleventh year of Wanli, I raised several red crowns in the pond at home. ”
"Whether it was the family moving to Fuqing later, or the return to the dynasty in the fifth year of Wanli to take charge of the government, the number of tails has always been with him like a family. At that time, there was a good saying that the fish did not leave the leaves. ”
"The crown is like a pearl and graceful like a dragon, and it has become the favorite of people who seek official luck. There are clouds in ancient poems: the red top should bear the sun, and the frost is not stained with mud. ”
Observing the words and expressions, he continued: "Kukentang is a treasure of feng shui, and at first glance, you are a person who does big business. This time, nine golden koi fish were specially selected, yes, those that sparkle are!"
Not far away, a few golden koi fish sparkling in the sun, Boss Liu said proudly: "The body color is like gold, and it is like a dragon, which is favored by business people." The whole body is only monochrome golden, and the fish scales are neatly arranged, and the whole body emits a brilliant crystal light like gold. ”
"You also know that yellow is the main prosperity in feng shui, the main business is prosperous, and the wealth is prosperous, while the koi fish is golden all over, there is a saying that the lucky fish, keeping it at home is as auspicious as worshiping the god of wealth. ”
Johnson laughed, don't say it, these little guys in the pond are instantly full of vitality, stagnant water becomes living water, and the mood is much better.
"In 2009, someone bought a red and white redhead for 990,000 yuan, setting a record for the most koi that year. A year later, the record was immediately broken, and 1.2 million were sold for nothing. ”
Take out the fish food, hand it to Johnson, and throw it into the pond, and the koi fish will rush over in an instant, not afraid of people at all, and they will be happy to grab it.
"You see, this is just Loulan, and the appearance is like the legendary Loulan beauty. The white should be snow-white, the red should be oily and bright red, pay attention to the oily shiny, and the distribution of red spots on the back of the body should be evenly proportioned......"
"Koi fish have been raised in island countries for hundreds of years, not only because of the price difference, but also because of the contrasting advantages and disadvantages. The island koi is spindle-shaped, and the domestic koi is short-broad. ”
"Looking at the swimming posture, whether it is graceful and smooth, whether it is strong and powerful, is the most intuitive criterion for appreciating koi. If the fish swims crookedly, like a snake, or often swims sideways, it is not worth much. ”
Johnson squatted down and looked at the biggest leader in front of him, with a chubby body, grabbing food with his mouth open, and his big tail swinging one after another, full of domineering.
"This thing grows fast, as long as it is fed frequently, it is 10-20cm long at the age of 1, 24-30cm at the age of two, 37-40cm at the age of three, 45-50cm at the age of five, and 55-70cm at the age of ten. ”
"The longest can reach 1.5 meters, weigh more than 40 catties, and the average life expectancy is 60 or 70 years, and the best is longer than people, even more than 200 years old. ”
Seeing that Johnson was happy, Boss Liu said with a smile: "Koi pay attention to blood, and what farm it comes from is particularly important. For example, Momotaro Okayama is a top koi fish farm, and its excellent reputation is international. ”
"Every year, we have to go to the auction, and a top-grade player from all over the world grabs the head, and tens of thousands of dollars are easily lost. ”
"Last year, I was lucky enough to grab seven breeding fish, especially a red pine leaf, beautiful figure, noble temperament, unique color markings, obedient ......"
Boss Liu's eyebrows danced, the more Johnson looked at it, the more he liked it, the bigger he was, the bigger the head and the big mouth, with two pairs of beards, strong and powerful, the largest red-top patrolled the entire pond, shaking his head, followed by a large group of colorful, like a rainbow, beautiful.
Boss Liu squatted down, sprinkled the fish food, and gently stroked the back of the fish with his hand and said: "When you have been raising for a long time, you are so close that you can take food from your hands or let someone pick it up, and when the master patrols along the edge of the pool, they often follow behind and expose their heads to the water, which looks very cute." ”
"The greatest enjoyment of every day is to stand by the pool, watch the cute babies swim around, and forget all the troubles of the world......
"At first, I liked it alone, but then my wife and children often helped clean the pond and feed the small fish, and I came into contact with them so much that I didn't know that I would think of them as part of the family. ”
Johnson believes that cats and dogs only live for more than ten years at most, and these guys are casually fifty or sixty years, of course, they are closer.
Eat omnivorous, meat, fish, bread, rice, vegetables, fruits. He is also hungry, he eats enough for two or three weeks, is not picky, and is easy to feed.
"Let the workers plant some aquatic plants at the bottom of the pond and put some small fish fry, even if you go out for two months, you don't have to worry about them, you will definitely be alive." ”
After a busy day, the workers finally got it all done, and Johnson took the fish food, lay on the bench, and leisurely watched the fish grab the food. They are also getting acquainted with the new environment, and the pond is far more comfortable than the original aquarium, and it is very interesting to jump around.
After sitting by the pond for a long time, I carefully observed each fish, their swimming style, their color, their size, and the changes of each fish, and gradually I felt as if I was in it.
With him as a companion, he danced in the water and experienced the carefree state of mind heartily. Move forward calmly and turn gracefully.
Life is always involuntarily, and when you are depressed, you can look at the calm and elegant fish, and you will feel relieved.
