Chapter 446: Betta Fish
PS: Thanks for the monthly pass of CKLIN 21!
The eldest brother of the driver before was named Lu Chuan, and after he separated from Wei Hang, he immediately called his second brother in his hometown while he was eating, and asked him to take some photos of Tang Hucan in his hometown and send them to him.
His second brother also laughed at him, what to do with those things. Tang Hucan is a small fish in his hometown, that is, children can catch it, keep it in a bottle for a few days, and then let the cat eat it.
"Don't worry about it, hurry up and shoot some, catch some good-looking shots, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Lu Chuan blamed.
The eldest brother's words are still very majestic, except for the father, the status of the eldest brother will not be lower than that of the mother. Especially the eldest brother who works outside and provides financial resources for the family, even the father will also give some face.
Half an hour later, a series of photos were sent to Lu Chuan's mobile phone.
"Brother, my mobile phone bill is gone. This MMS message is close to a dollar! I knew that it would be sent with QQ. Lu Chuan's second brother is still in high school.
"Okay, I'll charge you later. Lu Chuan is too lazy to talk nonsense.
His old parents are a little strange, what is the use of the eldest asking the second child to collect photos of those small fish?
Weihang is still at the scene of the flower and bird exhibition, and is preparing to accompany Zhang Xueru to walk around, and it is also a good choice to see some exotic flowers and plants. At this time, he received a strange phone call, and he hesitated for a while, but still answered.
"It's not going to be you investing again, is it?" said Gao Fei with a smile.
"It's also possible to do insurance. His wife and husband teased him.
Hearing the voice, it was a little familiar, and the other party introduced himself, and Wei Hang was stunned.
"It's you, it's Lu Chuan, yes! I'm here with my friend right now. Okay, you send it, I'll show him if it can be used as an ornamental fish. ”
Listening to Wei Hang's words, Gao Fei felt a little wrong!
"Who?"
"A taxi driver, when coming. When he heard that ornamental fish make money, he remembered that there was a fish in his hometown that looked good, so he saw if he could sell it as an ornamental fish. Wei Hang briefly talked about the previous incident.
"Oh, China's native ornamental fish are usually not worth much! In this regard, I have to sigh: foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures!" Gao Fei can also be regarded as understanding the market.
Soon, the photos were sent, many, more than ten or twenty, with different angles.
When Wei Hang saw it, he immediately recognized what kind of fish. Truly. This is also a kind of ornamental fish, but the price is not very good, a few yuan a tail, and the expensive one may be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan.
"What fish?" asked Elder Zheng.
"Bettas, these are all fork-tailed bettas. Look at it. Wei Hang smiled and handed over the phone.
The Chinese betta fish is a very active fish, especially an adult fish, which can jump out of the tank when the environment changes suddenly or when frightened. Therefore, when the environment changes. Be sure to add a lid to the fish tank to prevent the tragedy of jumping out of the tank.
Wei Hang knew that this fish had folded gills. The gills are also a special respiratory organ that evolved in the process of adapting to the environment of slow water flow and low dissolved oxygen.
Among the ornamental fish, in addition to bettas, there are also familiar lily fish, warships, vests, Bandung, etc. The uniqueness of the frillfish. In an environment with very low dissolved oxygen content, the breathing mode is to directly breathe oxygen in the air for gas exchange with the help of respiratory auxiliary organs.
The Chinese betta fish has a strong physique and does not choose to eat. Prefer carnivorous bait, they do not have high requirements for the breeding environment, and there are no special requirements for water quality. It can be said that it is easy to raise, and coupled with its aggressive personality, it is loved by some enthusiasts.
However, although China is the home of these betta fish, their status at home is very different from that abroad. Many aquarium fish enthusiasts are dismissive of Chinese betta fish, and even many wild betta fish are sold as feed fish. This cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.
In Western countries, the Chinese betta fish is one of the most popular aquarium fish species and is known as the fish of paradise.
After hearing this, Zheng Lao and the others were a little disappointed, betta fish is a low-end ornamental fish, not very valuable. However, the little ones like it, and the sales are not bad. Only some bloodlines are very pure, and they are worth a little bit, and they may be bought for hundreds or thousands of dollars with a tail and two fingers.
When they looked at it, it was easy to see that the photos were all good fish with very pure blood.
"The blood is very pure! It can only be found in some remote countryside. Goofy said.
There are three varieties in the photo, one is a naturally albino variety, also called the white rabbit. Now there are cultivation abroad, which is not precious. Natural whitening, of course, is much rarer and more valuable.
"Such a white rabbit can be sold for fifty to eighty. It's wild, plus the price of pure blood. The improved ones on the market are very cheap, about ten dollars. The fat man interjected and said.
"The blue-tailed ones are called blue flames, and the red-tailed ones are called red flames, which are very ornamental. Hey, zoom in for me. When Elder Zheng enlarged the picture, he found that there was a living flame pattern on the forehead of the red flame.
"Excellent! Xiaohang, help me contact that young man, I will ask for this tail, a thousand yuan to help me bring it over." Zheng Lao immediately liked it.
It seems that the bloodline of the wild betta fish in Lu Chuan's hometown is very well preserved and primitive, although this fish is not expensive, and generally those who play with fish look down on it, but the price is cheap, and many children like it, and it is a bit of a market.
The fat man felt that he could exchange this fish for sale, after all, this betta fish was easy to raise, it would not die in his hands, and the price was not expensive.
"Brother, help me contact that guy, and everyone will have dinner when we are free. ”
Being able to help others sometimes feels very good, the feeling of being Lei Feng. Of course, Lei Feng is too tragic, and Weihang will not do that.
When Lu Chuan heard it, someone bought the fiery red tail on the photo for 1,000 yuan, and he was greatly surprised.
"There's time, I've got time, you see when you're free, in the evening? Okay, I'll be in touch then." Lu Chuan was stunned for a long time.
He originally tried it and didn't have much hope, but he also thought that the world is unpredictable, life is like this, and he can surprise you unintentionally, and those who dare to try often have strange gains.
Just now, Wei Hang also said it. There is a small boss who is ready to go to their hometown to buy, although the price may be more than ten yuan, or even a few yuan a piece. But it was already a windfall.
There are a lot of such fish in the wild in his hometown, and many of them are good-looking in the photos.
Lu Chuan immediately contacted his family and said that he would go back in the near future. When the time comes, bring a boss back to your hometown and buy Tang Hucan's kind of small fish.
At the same time, let the family take the opportunity to buy some good-looking colors, keep them well, and don't be taken away by cats.
As long as you pay two or three dollars a tail, I believe that many children will help catch fish in class. In their hometown, a dollar can buy a child to do an afternoon's work, which is definitely good news for them.
Lu Chuan's parents were shocked that the red Tang Hucan, which their daughter kept in a bottle, was actually bought for 1,000 yuan, and the other good-looking ones were offered for about 10 yuan.
For ten yuan, they can buy a palm-sized grass carp in their hometown. It's hard to imagine that Tang Hucan, who Xiaoxi usually never pays attention to, is so valuable.
Now, they can understand why the eldest hurriedly asked the second child to send the picture.
Lu Chuandu's junior high school sister stretched out her hand to him: "I want twenty yuan." ”
She likes this fish very much, but if it can be sold for a thousand yuan, she has to give it up no matter how reluctant she is, knowing that it is not easy for her family to earn a thousand yuan.
This time, Lao Lu had no choice but to take out twenty yuan to compensate his daughter, and then focus on taking care of the fiery red fish. I saw the little fish stretching its luxurious fins, hesitating a proud phoenix, swimming leisurely.
The kitten at home came over and looked at the small fish inside.
Lu Chuan's father glared at the kitten, a very stern warning look, the kitten was very frightened, the hair all over his body exploded, and he retreated with his tail between his legs.
"Go, go, dare to make trouble, I'll peel you. ”
Lu Chuan's sister hurriedly took the kitten away, and for the sake of insurance, Lu Chuan's father took protective measures.
"Wait a minute, do you want to catch something and feed it?" Lu Chuan's mother asked.
Her husband thought for a moment and nodded, "This thing will eat smaller fry than it, and get some back later." ”
Lu Chuan's sister immediately interjected: "It's better to put grass in." ”
She had been feeding her before, so she naturally knew that this fish was more lively and graceful in the environment of aquatic plants.
"Well, you will take care of it for the next two days!" After all, it was his daughter who was more familiar with the fish, and he found that the fish liked her daughter more. As soon as he got closer, it swam to the other side, not looking. But when her daughter came closer, she wagged her tail like a puppy!
"A little spiritual little fish, no wonder someone bought it for a thousand dollars. ”
Lu Chuan's father acted immediately, and the news spread, and the beautiful Tang Hu Canyu was two dollars a tail.
Not to mention children, even some idlers can't be idle. One by one, they came to confirm the news, then turned over their fishing gear and set off towards the creek and river in the village.
The old village chief, secretary and other village cadres in the village were curious and found Lu Chuan's Laozi.
"What, someone came to our village to buy this fish? How much does it cost someone outside to like it?"
Lu Chuan's father was a little embarrassed, after all, he had a bit of a deep draft, and he made a lot of money by buying it himself.
"Xiao Luzi, just tell me honestly. A few of us won't say it for the time being, let you make a profit, after all, the boss was invited by your kid. This is also good for our village, and I won't blame you. However, if you can increase your income, I hope that it will benefit more villagers. "As the head of a village, I think a little further and think a little more.
"The pretty one should be about ten dollars. Lu Chuan's Lao Tzu smiled.
The village cadres present all gasped, damn it, the fish that can only be fed to the kittens are so valuable, but you kid does earn a little hard!
"Okay, don't be blushing, let this guy earn two days. However, this will not be the case in the future. The village chief clapped.
Lu Chuan's Lao Tzu nodded hurriedly, there are two days, I believe he can also make a profit. (To be continued......)
