After breakfast, Yue Chengyu called and said that the decoration matter had been finalized. It was the person Xiao Tao helped introduce. He said that person was more cheerful than others, took the initiative to tell some special points to pay attention to, and the price was affordable.
Fang Tianfeng knew that Xiao Tao still helped, so he kept this matter in mind.
The weather was a little cloudy today. After receiving a call from He Changxiong, Fang Tianfeng went to treat Mr. He. Now Mr. He's attitude is much better. He will smile when he sees him. Fang Tianfeng doesn't think anything of it, but He Changxiong is very happy.
After the treatment, Fang Tianfeng went downstairs and met Xia Xiaoyu on the way. The two chatted for a few words while walking. Fang Tianfeng found that when he was with An Tiantian, An Tiantian was the one talking; when with Xia Xiaoyu, almost all of them were talking.
It's him who's talking.
Xia Xiaoyu is still the same, with slight communication difficulties and blushing at every turn.
Before leaving, Fang Tianfeng stopped and texted Xia Xiaoyu in front of her.
"Goodbye, I think this way you won't be shy."
Xia Xiaoyu took out her mobile phone and read it in confusion. After reading it, she was so embarrassed that she quickly left with a blushing face. The pink nurse uniform became a beautiful scenery in Fang Tianfeng's eyes. At the same time, countless eyes competed with Fang Tianfeng for this scenery.
Fang Tianfeng did not return to Chang'an Garden, but asked Master Cui to go to the aquarium trading market and then contact Shen Xin.
Shen Xin said that her friend Ali was waiting for him, and then gave Fang Tianfeng his contact information.
When they arrived at the place, the car stopped and Fang Tianfeng said goodbye to Master Cui.
The full name here is Unhai Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market. It is divided into four parts: aquarium, bird market, flowers and plants, and pets. It also sells various related equipment. It is the largest flower, bird, fish and insect market in Unhai City.
Fang Tianfeng entered the aquarium. There were various smaller beds around the main entrance, some selling small tropical fish, some selling fish food and bait, some selling gravel fish tanks, etc.
Going further inside, there are various larger shops selling relatively rare ornamental fish.
Fang Tianfeng called Ali and then walked to Ali's shop, Mulongju.
Ali is a young man in his late thirties, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, short hair, copper-colored skin, and very enthusiastic.
Fang Tianfeng took a look at Ali's shop. There were multiple fish tanks and aquariums inside. All kinds of graceful arowanas were swimming around, which was a feast for the eyes. Some were small fry, and there were also mature arowanas more than half a meter long, which gave people a sense of wonder.
Elegant and luxurious feeling.
Ali smiled and said, "You are Shen Xin's younger brother, and my Ali's younger brother. My wife is in charge of the store, and I will be with you alone today."
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said: "Thank you. I did a quick check on the information about Arowana yesterday. At present, the red Arowana and the golden arowana are worth investing in, right?"
Ali showed a look of embarrassment and said: "I have dealt with these two kinds of fish before, but unfortunately I have lost a lot of money. Now I basically only deal with ordinary silver arowana, star point arowana and green arowana. In fact, I only raise them myself.
For fun, these types of fish are sufficient and beautiful. I personally prefer the silver arowana. If you invest, you can easily get more returns by choosing the golden arowana and the red arowana, but the risks are also high."
Fang Tianfeng said: "No matter how ignorant you are, you still have more experience than a layman like me. I'm here today just to find out. I don't necessarily have to buy it back."
"Then I'll show you around first, then let's go."
Afterwards, Ali led Fang Tianfeng to a nearby shop, which sold arowana.
Ali pointed to an arowana with a reddish tail. The edges of this fish's scales were light gold, and the inside of the scales was blue-gray.
Ali said: "We divide arowanas into five grades here. This is the fifth grade red-tailed dragon, the lowest grade among the arowanas. It is named because the tail is a little red. You see, from the side, this fish starts from the belly of the fish.
There are six horizontal rows of scales on the back of the fish. The golden color of this fish only reaches the fourth row, and the golden color does not reach the fifth or even sixth row, so it is of low grade."
Yesterday, Fang Tianfeng only read the general introduction and classification, but did not look at many parts in detail, so he asked: "A Li, the first four rows of this fish are only golden on the edges, can it also be called arowana?"
Ali smiled and said: "You don't understand this. Aren't the scales of the fish we eat at home also have a gradient color? The so-called 'gold' of the Arowana means that the edges of the scales are golden, and insiders call it 'scale frame'
.Inside the scale frame is the 'base color'."
As he spoke, Ali pointed to another arowana.
Different from the previous one, the tail of this arowana is very light red, and the scale frame of the fish scale is golden yellow, which is really beautiful.
"Look at this, it's a fourth-class high-backed arowana. It's called high-back because its golden color goes all the way to the fifth row, which is one more row than the fifth-class red tail. The bottom of this fish's dorsal fin
, does it have slightly rounded scales? This is called pearl scales. Whether the pearl scales are golden is also one of the factors to measure the value of the golden arowana. The pearl scales of the previous fifth-grade red tail did not have gold, but this one has several golden flakes.
, is also one of the symbols of the high-backed golden dragon.”
At this moment, after greeting another customer, the shop owner came over enthusiastically and said: "Since Ali introduced me, we are all friends, buy one and get a 10% discount, buy more and get more discounts. The most important thing to buy arowana now is
What? Don’t worry! There are always some unscrupulous sellers who deceive consumers by passing off inferior quality goods. The arowanas in my house are all real good stuff. Look at this one, just tell me the price and take it!”
Fang Tianfeng and Ali looked at the arowana pointed by the shopkeeper.
This fish has more gold than the previous fourth-class high-back. Not only is it covered in the fifth row, but there are even a few patches of gold in the sixth row.
The shop owner laughed softly and said: "This B-grade cross-back has just been shipped from the Bukit Merah fishery in Malaysia. The genuine product still has to be taxed, and the price is too high. We dragons are all smuggled. However, this
The dragon looks so beautiful. If you invite her home, it will definitely improve the feng shui of your home."
Arowana enthusiasts generally call arowana "dragon" and buying them "please".
Ali said: "Whether it is the third-class high-backed dragon or this second-class high-backed dragon, they are both the product of the cross between the second-class high-backed golden dragon and the fifth-class red-tailed dragon! He is my friend, don't be a fat sheep."
slaughter."
The shop owner suddenly turned red and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know about the relationship between you two. But this B-grade over-the-back grade is definitely the right one. It comes from Bukit Merah Fishing Ground. 20% off, 20% off, okay?"
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said nothing.
Ali said to him: "The third-class B is better than the Golden Dragon, so it is not worth investing in."
Ali looked around the shop, and finally his eyes fell on an arowana. He couldn't help but admire: "What a golden dragon with an over-back! I didn't expect to see such a good over-back here."
The shop owner smiled and said proudly: "This is a new arrival, isn't it good? I'm a little reluctant to sell it."
Fang Tianfeng took a look and found that this arowana was indeed more beautiful than the previous one. Its whole body was glowing with golden color, and there seemed to be a light halo around it, as if it had a kind of magic power that could attract people's attention.
"Look at this, it's an authentic over-back golden dragon. Counting from bottom to top, the sixth row of scales just crosses the back, and the scale frame of the sixth row of scales is all gold, which is the so-called over-back. This fish no matter
Is it bead scale or something else, flawless, worth at least ten thousand."
The shopkeeper was unhappy and said, "At least twelve thousand!"
Fang Tianfeng asked: "The worst fifth grade is the red-tailed arowana, the fourth grade is the high-backed arowana, the third grade is the b-backed arowana, and the second grade is the over-backed arowana. What is the first grade?"
Ali smiled and said, "I'll show you a more beautiful dragon."
But the shop owner suddenly said: "Wait a minute, don't leave. If you sincerely want to carry a golden dragon, I have a batch of good fry here, absolutely cheap. Ali, you can verify it in person, there is a chip and a certificate, this really can't be done
Fake."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper pointed to a large fish tank.
There are two golden arowanas about 20 centimeters in the bathtub. The golden color on their bodies has reached the fifth row, and the scales on the sixth row also have a lot of golden color. These two over-back golden dragons swim slowly, against the backdrop of the white bathtub,
shining.
Ali took a closer look and said: "For such a young child, the scales are all full, five to six, and the appearance is very good. According to Malaysian standards, it is at least AA grade. How much does one cost?"
"Four thousand and fifty for one, it's still cheaper to buy both."
Ali said to Fang Tianfeng: "The cross-backed golden dragon does not have six rows of golden color at the beginning, but as it grows, the golden color gradually climbs up. These two are just 20 centimeters long now, and they will be more beautiful in the future.
Well, you can make a small profit, and the price he offered is also very low. However, I suggest you start raising ordinary dragons and practice your skills."
The shop owner smiled and said: "I have sold two of them today. I want to buy them later, but they are out of stock."
Fang Tianfeng observed carefully and felt that there was something wrong, so he subconsciously used the Qi-gazing technique to take a look and found that both arowanas had sick energy, which felt even more wrong, so he smiled and said: "I'll wait a little longer."
After saying that, Ali also left, and the shop owner just sighed.
After walking far away, Fang Tianfeng asked: "Can this kind of fish be faked?"
Ali smiled and said: "It is difficult to fake this kind of cross-backed golden dragon, because they all come from Malaysia or Singapore. Some may be smuggled, but they are all genuine."
Fang Tianfeng said: "I feel that those two arowanas are a little sick."
Ali was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said angrily: "Why did he sell it so cheaply? Fortunately, you have good eyesight, otherwise I would have almost been deceived by him! I didn't expect that he even fooled acquaintances!"
Fang Tianfeng asked curiously: "What's going on?"
"The older the golden dragon is, the more golden scales it will have. But you can't see the age, so we just calculate it based on the body length. For juvenile golden dragons of the same body length, the more golden scales they have, the better the appearance and the higher the price will be.
The taller. The over-backed golden dragon with a body length of 20 centimeters is theoretically eight months old. The two fish just looked like that and are in good condition. But when you reminded me, I realized that they were not eight months old.
, he used the method of slow-feeding and starvation to starve a dragon that was at least ten months old until it was twenty centimeters long!"
"So that's it. Thank you very much. If you don't explain, it will be a big loss if I buy it back." Fang Tianfeng said.
Alize gave Fang Tianfeng a thumbs up and said: "Don't thank me, it's you who has good eyesight. I didn't make high-end arowana because of my poor eyesight. Fortunately, you didn't buy it. If you had bought it, you would have met Shen Xin."
I can only find a crack in the ground and crawl in."
Later, Ali said with shame: "What I just said was too full, and I am suspected of being a bastard. In fact, you can ask around in the market. I, Ali, have never done anything like this. I will help two or three friends this year."
It takes a lot of time to cross the dragon every time. Instead of earning a few hundred as a trustee, it is better to earn more by selling fish well."
Fang Tianfeng said with a smile: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I believe Sister Xin's vision. Besides, if you really want to team up with him to deceive me, there is no need to persuade me to buy ordinary arowana to practice first, and there is no need to put the two fish together."
The question told me that I should go back and continue to deceive me."
