The two of them spared for a while, and their interest was mediocre to look at other exhibition halls, but went straight to the topic, the sea area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Walking into the hall, Liu Xiaole's only glimmer of hope was shattered, and it was not so much an expo as a hodgepodge of merchants, who were selling their wares.

This time it's really for nothing, don't look at the goods, but the price is not low, presumably the same as the monk fish merchant, slaughter one counts as one, one hammer trading, this expo is completely the guise of the business.

The two stopped in front of a family called Wang's Water Clan, Liu Xiaole followed the principle of thieves not going empty, and returned home with a hand that was an insult to his profession.

When the two of them entered the house, they were just in time for the Aquarium to arrive, and the bucket on the ground was full of living stones. It can be seen that it should be a newcomer, and the boss is ready to burst algae.

And the boss is busy communicating with the staff of a transportation company, which should be to negotiate the freight issue. But when he saw someone coming, he still beckoned politely: "Wait a while, you can see for yourself first." “

Liu Xiaole responded politely, "Come on, you are busy first." ”

As soon as Li entered the house, he went to the fish in the exhibition tank, while Liu Xiaole squatted down, fiddled with the living stones, screened the quality, and bought some back for later use.

After looking at a few pieces, Liu Xiaole shook his head secretly, there are almost no living stones with light weight and good shapes, not to mention high-calcium algae, he must have come for nothing this time.

Just as Liu Xiaole was about to leave, the afterglow swept to the living stone in the bucket next to him, and suddenly something similar to a feather twitched.

Liu Xiaole saw and heard, walked to the basin live stone, squatted down, carefully looked at the moving live stone, but did not see the clue for a long time, Liu Xiaole shook his head, it should be a garbage anemone, just when Liu Xiaole was about to get up, a peck similar to something with feathers, and slowly drilled out of the stone again, this time it can be caught by Liu Xiaole, it is a tube worm, a feather-like object similar to this on the live stone, there are not a few, Liu Xiaole Annai's joy in his heart, this should be the legendary Christmas tree tube worm.

The Christmas tree tube worm, also known as the great gill worm, has many different colors of gill feathers, but an individual usually only appears in two colors. Usually, the gill feathers are spiral-shaped and look like Christmas trees: the body is hidden in the host coral. When the gill feathers are retracted to hide, the nozzle is blocked with a cap, and the large whirling gill insect is embedded in the head of the large coral. They can separate into a calcareous lumen around the body that serves as shelter and protection. They usually drill a hole in the coral head before secreting calcium tubes for added protection.

At a show in the United States, a Christmas tree tube worm was recently exhibited, and the price was $30,000. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaole's eyes were full of money symbols.

Although Liu Xiaole was happy, he was worried that his strange appearance would arouse the suspicion of the boss, and at this time, the boss was also busy with the work at hand, and came over and said, "Little brother has raised marine fish before? Are you ready to 'go to the sea'? Or add some objects, if you don't have experience, we can teach the whole process here. ”

Liu Xiaole just wanted to say that he had raised it, but after thinking about it, he thought it was inappropriate, so it was easier for the boss to suspect him if he bought live stones for no reason, so he replied: "I haven't raised it, I want to see it this time." ”

The boss liked this kind of Xiaobai, and said more enthusiastically, "That's good, is there a fish tank?" ”

Liu Xiaole nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The boss said: "That's good, if you have a fish tank, you can say anything, so you can get a bag of seawater salt from me today, and give you some live stones, you go back and follow the steps I said, and come to me next month to get the creature." ”

When Liu Xiaole heard this, he pretended to ask with interest and asked questions, completely looking like a little white, and Li Yi, who was standing next to him, was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this kid's gourd.

Liu Xiaole followed the boss's recommendation with a bag of seawater salt, and then selected a few live stones according to the boss's instructions decently, and in the whole process, Liu Xiaole behaved like such an amateur and such an idiot.

Watching the play was almost over, Liu Xiaole cut to the chase and reached out to get the live stone, but when Liu Xiaole was about to pick up a live stone, the boss frowned and said, "This piece? ”

Liu Xiaole secretly said that it is not good, the boss will not point to the bowl to sell cats~! This play may be performed in vain, it's really a foot tall and a foot high~!

But the boss's next sentence made Liu Xiaole completely relieved, "The little brother is not good, it has to be modeled without shape, and it has a special weight, but if you raise turf in the future, it is estimated that it can be like a Christmas tree." I don't recommend you buy this piece though. ”

Liu Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I plan to do the same." ”

The boss smiled, and secretly said that Liu Xiaole was stupid, just this stone, except for the shape, there is nothing remarkable, not to mention the weight, there are few gaps, which is not conducive to the reproduction of bacteria, to put it bluntly, the effect of putting a brick is stronger than it, but anyone, a knowledgeable person will not look at it.

Soon Liu Xiaole asked the boss to pack all the items, and finally Liu Xiaole asked the boss to send a bucket with water to transport it to ensure the quality of the living stone. The boss in front of him, so much money was spent, of course the boss didn't care about a bucket, he agreed without saying a word, and made a very professional packaging and sent someone to deliver the goods to Li Yi's car.

Before leaving, Liu Xiaole also said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you!" ”

The boss happily replied: "You're welcome~!" ”

In just such a while, Liu Xiaole was fooled for nearly 1,000 yuan, and said thank you, the boss smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart, it doesn't seem to be stupid~! At this time, the boss thought that he was the ****** in "Selling Cats", but he didn't think that Liu Xiaole bought the bowl in "Selling Cats".

Li Yi looked at Liu Xiaole and said, "You kid spent more than a thousand to buy a few packs of salt and a few stones, what kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd." ”

Liu Xiaole smiled: "Hehe, we earned it, I'll tell you when I go back, there are a lot of people here." ”

Li Yi snorted, "It's still mysterious, not to mention pulling down." ”

Just when the two of them were about to go home, a store called the Ng's Aquarium attracted Liu Xiaole, the reason is very simple, it is also being purchased here, Liu Xiaole thinks that only the mess in the store can he "fish in troubled waters".

After entering the store, a young girl greeted her and said, "What do you need to do with it?" ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Let's take a look." ”

"That's fine." With that, the little girl ran back to the counter, picked up a pen and paper, and began to record something.

The water in several exhibition tanks is very clear, and the state of the creatures is very stable, presumably, there should be no new species stationed, but the low tank with turbid water on the edge attracted Liu Xiaole.

Walked over and took a look, there were a lot of five-clawed mussels in it, and the state was definitely new, and before it could be placed, Liu Xiaole's eyes lit up when he saw a five-clawed mussel lying at the bottom of it.

The pentaclaw, also known as the clams, has a slightly triangular shell with a curved top and a wavy buckling margin. The surface is gray, with several deep grooves that look like they have been run over by wheels.

The mantle is large and brightly colored. Tridacnes often live in symbiosis with a large number of zooxanthellae. This monocytic algae circulates in the body of the clams and can carry out photosynthesis to provide rich nutrients for the clams. The edge of the mantle of the clams has a structure called vitreous that aggregates light and allows zooxanthellae to proliferate. This special relationship between clam algae is called reciprocal symbiosis. Pentapus is mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. In particular, there are more coral reefs in Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia and other countries near low tide areas or in shallow reefs. China's Hainan Province and Nanhai Zhudao are also distributed.

Because of its simple breeding, bright colors and high ornamental value, it is favored by aquarium players.

Seeing Liu Xiaole's thief's smile, Li Yi knew that Liu Xiaole had seen the target again, and sure enough, Liu Xiaole pointed to the low tank and said, "Girl, what is the price of these five-clawed scallops." ”

The little girl put down the pen in her hand, looked up and said, "This is just coming in, the boss is not at home, I don't know." ”

Liu Xiaole frowned and said, "When will the boss come back, don't you know the price, we are in a hurry." ”

"Then it's not clear." The little girl said.

Liu Xiaole said: "Little girl, we are in a hurry, see if you can come up with a price." ”

The little girl walked out from behind the counter and looked at the five-clawed shells inside, although the specific price was not clear, but the price of the manifest was clear to him, and according to the price of the manifest, the little girl could also deduce the price of these five-clawed scallops.

"Okay, you say, which one do you want, but the new one comes in, the state doesn't come out, and there is a problem when you go back, so you are not responsible."

Liu Xiaole nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

After the two sides negotiated, Liu Xiaole pretended to be serious and selected 5 in a row, the drunkard did not mean to drink, Liu Xiaole was a master, of course he would not choose those with high profits, and all 5 were only 500 yuan.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Xiaole focused his eyes on the blackened five-clawed scallop, and pointed: "How to sell this?" Before speaking, Liu Xiaole deliberately pressed hard, making the five-clawed scallop shrink tighter, and there was no clue.

The little girl glanced at it, shook her head and said, "Not for sale." ”

Liu Xiaole secretly said in his heart that it was not good, could it be that this scene was in vain again, but he still asked carefully: "What's wrong?" ”

The little girl fiddled a few times and said, "This one is going to die, and it's not in good shape." ”

Liu Xiaole smiled when he heard this, and secretly said that the opportunity had come, so he pretended to be very expectant and said: "Girl, you see that I am a beginner, if you can't do this, you can deal with it cheaply for me, every opportunity for me to learn." ”

Li Yi almost laughed when he listened to it from the side, this drama is so realistic, you don't go to the Chinese drama, you are too talented, the little girl hesitated for a while and said: "Give 20 yuan, calculate the freight, but you are not responsible if you die." ”

When Liu Xiaole heard this, he immediately took out the money to settle the account, and then stopped going around, and turned into the car with a smoke.

Li Yi lit the fire, looked at Liu Xiaole's panicked appearance and said, "What are you panicking, it's not robbing." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Driving, this is almost the same as robbing, this girl is greedy this time, hurry up, the boss will definitely chase him out when he comes back." ”

Although Li Yi didn't know what was going on at this time, he still blamed him a little: "You will harm others and yourself~!" ”

Liu Xiaole said: "What does it mean to harm others and benefit oneself, this is called fishing in troubled waters, it can be regarded as making this boss bleed, teach a long lesson, and don't put all the things of any strain together in the future." ”

When I arrived at the aquarium, the sky had darkened, and many businesses in the mall had closed their doors.

Liu Xiaole entered the store through the back door and couldn't wait to put the stone into the fish tank. Put the black five-catch shellfish in the boutique exhibition tank, then smile at the loot in the fish tank, close the door and go home. Of course, he was slaughtered by Li Yi again at night. But Liu Xiaole was in pain and happy.

Liu Xiaole had insomnia this night, and his mind was full of the Christmas tree tube worm and the gray five-catch shell.

In the early morning, the gate of the mall had not yet opened, so Liu Xiaole walked through the back door, and the first thing he did when he opened the door was to turn on all the lights.

The store was lit up instantly, and then there was an amazing scene in the bright exhibition tank, where the bare stones of yesterday were covered with feather-like things of various colors. Liu Xiaole's heart was completely relaxed, and the one in front of him was definitely a multi-colored Christmas tree tubeworm.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Yi actually pushed the door into the house, when he saw the stone in the exhibition tank, he thought he was dazzled, but when he looked closer, the gill feathers of different colors were constantly swinging with the water, just like a Christmas tree, which was a little suffocating.

Li Yi looked at Liu Xiaole incredulously and said, "How did you see it?" ”

Liu Xiaole wanted Li Yi to explain the process of his discovery of this tube worm.

"I admire you." Li Yiyi.

Liu Xiaole only knew that this was a Christmas tree tube worm at the time, but the performance was so extreme that Liu Xiaole was unexpected, 7-8 colors, plus the cornerstone of the shape of the Christmas tree, this can be described as the best of the best, the improvement of quality and the rise in prices, this Christmas tree tube worm is by no means more than 30,000 US dollars.

Confirming that the tube worm was correct, Liu Xiaole ran to the fish tank of the five shellfish, at this time, under the illumination of the light, the five shellfish was no longer yesterday's dark gray, but became as pure black as ink, and the body was covered with dark golden textures, and the dark red spots looked extremely clear under the illumination of the light. The white tentacles of the water inlet hole make the five-clawed mussel black and white, which is extremely noble, which is the legendary extremely rare devil clams.

Devil's clams: a deep-sea species, a relatively rare species, that lives in the Northern Tonga Islands and the East Fiji Islands at depths greater than 20 meters. It is a relatively large species of the Tridacnus family, with a monomer of up to 50 cm and some dark red spots at the mouth of the shell. The edges of the shell appear to be relatively undulating, with wart-like protrusions on the mantle, brownish-gray. The water inlet hole has large white or brown tentacles, and in addition to the ornamental value, the devil's clams are extracted raw materials that can be used as titanium raw materials, and there is a certain economic value.
