Chapter 142: Red Arowana

……

Now the time is slowly approaching December, although the tall Qinling Mountains block the Siberian cold current from the north, so that Hanzhong, which is located in the south of the Qinling Mountains, even if it is the coldest time of the year, also stays above freezing, but after all, it is still much colder than the hot summer and autumn season.

The leaves of the deciduous broad-leaved forests in the southern part of the Qinling Mountains have begun to wither. Of course, Wang Zheng's villa is still green because most of the evergreen broad-leaved trees are planted. However, the jujube trees, apple trees and other fruit trees planted in the valleys opened up in the valleys of the Jujube Valley and Jiuxiang Valley began to lose their leaves due to the gradual colder weather.

Not only that, many tropical and subtropical fruit trees have shown signs of stopping growth. Although there is the use of Shennong's plant-type nutrient solution, so that they do not die. However, as a result of slower growth, the speed and quantity of fruit ripening decreases when the same amount of nutrient solution is used.

This is obviously not the result that Wang Zheng is willing to see, and he is still counting on these fruits to make money for him.

"It seems that it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the weather controller!" Wang Zheng said in his heart.

The weather controller placed under the villa in Zaohua Valley can not only control the precipitation within a radius of 100 kilometers, but also control the temperature in the upper part of this range.

Moreover, the control range of this temperature is not a general nature, but can be adjusted by the central brain of the controller to change the temperature within this specified range according to the range delineated by Wang Zheng.

In other words, if Wang Zheng only plans to adjust the temperature in several valleys such as Zaohua Valley, Jiuxiang Valley, and Three Valleys, the weather controller can do it very well.

However, when Wang Zheng adjusted the temperature to 30 degrees and came out of the ground at a depth of 500 meters, feeling the slowly rising temperature around him, he suddenly realized a new problem.

"It's over, it looks like we're moving again!" Wang Zheng shook his head with a wry smile.

Compared with the current environment outside the mountain villa, which has dropped to about thirteen or fourteen degrees, the interior of the valley with a uniform temperature of thirty degrees is definitely the difference between ice and fire.

Any person, as long as he is not stupid, after walking around the Three Valleys and the Jujube Flower Valley, as well as outside, he can clearly understand the difference.

And this difference is obviously something that Wang Zheng doesn't intend to let anyone except him and the loyal cyborgs, including his parents, know.

Therefore, in the winter, he could only close the entire valley built by the Hundred Flowers Valley mission, and then find another place to live.

After all, when his parents come to visit, or when someone close to him comes to visit, it is impossible for him to refuse others to come to his home.

After thinking about these things clearly, Wang Zheng sighed, and after dinner, he came to the small valley that he named 'Welcome Valley'.

Here, the wooden building prepared for Wang Ying and the carpenter master he introduced has been built, and the difference is the internal pipeline installation and furniture placement!

Because of the lack of manpower, Wang Qian, who was busy in several new attractions during the day, returned to work here at night.

To be honest, Wang Zheng really wanted to expand his cyborg construction team, but he had no choice but to complete even the easiest Baixiang Valley task to complete in an average of three days. Also, not every completion will have a cyborg reward option.

Therefore, in the more than half a month since the opening of the villa, among the five Passion Valley orchard tasks completed, Wang Zheng's newly added cyborg people only have three guards and three wrestlers. Moreover, this is only realized by including the opportunity to win double prizes every nine. The other rewards have basically become different types of Shennong nutrient solution.

"Boss!"

Seeing Wang Zheng, who was carrying a rectangular heavy stone slab and spreading it on the ground, opening up the stone road to the mouth of Yingke Valley, Wang Gan, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, patted the dust on his hands and greeted him.

"Why are you just yourself, Hua Kun and them?"

"They're still eating, and I'm finishing early, so I'll come over early and get busy first!"

Wang Zheng nodded, and after briefly looking at the wooden building with a hint of simplicity in nature, he did not go in, but walked towards the depths of the valley.

Wang Gan, who didn't know why, didn't say anything, but hurriedly followed.

Yingke Valley is not large, the area of the valley is only 350 acres, which is about one-third of the jujube flower valley.

Wang Zheng walked through the woods, which were not particularly dense, for less than ten minutes, and then came to the bottom of the valley.

Although the height of the surrounding mountains is only one or two hundred meters, and the slope is not too steep, relatively speaking, the bottom of the Yingke Valley, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, still seems very closed.

Moreover, there are no mountain springs and streams, no lush forests and bamboos, so naturally there is no outstanding beauty. But all of this can be changed.

After briefly looking at the surrounding terrain, Wang Zheng found a location close to the foot of the mountain, "The construction of several scenic spots will be put aside first, and in the past few days, we will concentrate on building the wooden building first." Also, build me a similar teak building in this place!"

"Yes, boss!"

Although in order to hide the secrets of the Jujube Flower Valley, in the winter you need a place to live that can be taken out and treated. But Wang Zheng still decided that when he was usually alone, he still lived in the villa in Zaohua Valley.

Although the time he lived in Zaohua Valley after returning to his hometown from the capital was not long, he was now gradually getting used to it. Moreover, in the closed Jujube Flower Valley, he also easily met Simba and Wukong, as well as his loyal wrestlers.

After being busy with Wang Qian and them in the evening, after putting up the frame of his wooden building, Wang Zheng went back to rest.

Since then, because of the change in the temperature in the Zaohua Valley, he has also gained a habit. That is, when entering the valley, take off the thick coat on your body first, otherwise it will be too hot.

"Uncle Zhong, help me order a batch of Nanmu saplings, the bigger the better!"

"How much is the young master going to want?"

"2,000 pieces!" said Wang Zheng after a little thought.

Uncle Zhong, who never questioned his decision, nodded, "By the way, young master, there is news about the source of the red arowana you asked me to find!"

"Is there any news?" Wang Zheng was shocked.

Trying to expand the revenue channels of the villa is what Wang Zheng has been doing all along. Now, in addition to the orchard, the cattle herd, the Baixiang house, the income from the mountain lodge and the precious wood, the red arowana is also the sixth profitable project he plans to build.

However, the price of this tropical ornamental fish is too high, it is difficult to breed, and the market is relatively concentrated in large cities in the central and eastern regions. Therefore, Wang Zheng has not been able to find a reliable source of goods in Han, and Xi/An has sold it, but the quantity is too small to meet Wang Zheng's requirements. Coupled with the recent busy opening and expansion of the villa, this matter has been delayed for a while.

"Yes, I recently contacted a fish merchant in Guangdong/Dong, and they can provide us with more than two hundred red arowana!"

"How's the price?"

"The other party sent us a price list, 25 cm 'No. 1 and a half red Arowana' is about 1,000 yuan; 25 cm 'No. 2 Red Arowana (orange red Arowana)' price is about 2,000 yuan; 25 cm 'blood red Arowana' is more than 5,000 yuan, depending on the quality to determine the price; 25 cm 'Chili Red Dragon', the price is also more than 5,000, and the price is also determined according to the condition!"

Wang Zheng took Uncle Zhong's information and looked at it, "If you want to raise us, we will raise the best, and we don't want half-dragon fish and orange and red." Half of the Blood Red Arowana and Half of the Pepper Red Dragons, for a total of 300!"

Although the half-sized Arowana will also turn red after raising it for a period of time, the red color of the half-called Arowana basically does not reach the appearance of the Blood Red Dragon and the Chili Red Dragon.

Because, there are too few wild Arowana in the market now, and they are basically hybrid. The half-arowana belongs to the inferior quality of the hybrid red arowana. When you are born, you can tell if it is a half-trumpet or a blood red dragon. Moreover, the half-arowana and the orange-red arowana have variegated colors after their scales are red, and the price is not high, which is obviously not Wang Zheng's choice.

"The cheapest 300 tails are 1.5 million ......!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong! You don't have to worry about money! I'll give it to you in a few days!" Wang Zheng interrupted.

Although it will be cheaper to buy a smaller red arowana, it is also more difficult to raise it, and Wang Zheng is willing to make it bigger at the beginning.

After talking about the Arowana, Wang Zheng chatted with Uncle Zhong for a while about the time of ordering and the place of breeding, and then raised his feet and walked towards his bedroom upstairs.

"Huh?"

Walking up to the second floor, Wang Zheng, who had just pushed open the bedroom door, was stunned.

Before he could turn on the light, the bedroom was already illuminated by a soft glow of white. Although the brightness is not as good as the 100-watt energy-saving lamp, it is surprising enough to be able to illuminate Wang Zheng's 30-square-meter bedroom.

After reacting, Wang Zheng quickly found the source of this soft white brilliance.

It was the fist-sized silver-white bead he had gotten from the giant tortoise's mouth in the morning.

"Could this be the legendary Pearl of the Night?"

Walking over, holding the beads in the palm of his hand, and after carefully examining them, Wang Zheng secretly questioned in his heart.

China has had the existence of 'Night Pearls' since ancient times, including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was called the 'Pearl of the Marquis of Sui' along with He's Bi. and the night pearl in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi in modern times.

Moreover, modern science has proven that fluorite is capable of emitting light at night.

But the fist-sized silver-white bead in Wang Zheng's hand is obviously not fluorite. Although Wang Zheng did not study science, he also knew that the fluorite emitted a green light, and the bead in his hand was a soft white light.

As for whether it is the pearl of the Marquis of Sui for more than 2,000 years, Wang Zheng can't be sure. After all, that's already a legendary thing.

Of course, looking at the volume of this bead, it is impossible to see the one contained in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi. (To be continued.) )
