In the Fire Dragon Aquarium Shop, Li Fangcheng is holding a plastic water pipe and guiding the dirt at the bottom of the fish tank into a bucket. In the jargon, all the fish tanks in the aquarium shop are called "naked tanks", which means that there are only fish in the tank without sand or water plants.
There are also decorations, so the cleaning work is already the easiest. If it is replaced with a grass tank or the like, it will take half a day to clean the bottom sand once.
The four red arowanas of more than 30 centimeters that I bought last time have indeed responded to the words of Mr. Wang next door. Now they have slowly begun to fade. The blood red has turned to pink, and it is not evenly distributed. Every time Fatty Luo comes over,
, looked very depressed looking at these fish, and said that the eyes of the red arowana were looking at him, as if they were mocking him.
Li Fangcheng didn't feel this way. He still tried his best to take care of these red arowanas, feeding them, changing the water, pumping air and oxygen, and observing changes in water temperature.
However, apart from becoming lighter in color, these red arowanas are in good physical condition and have no other side effects. This may be the result of the specially prepared water.
"Xiao Li, what are you busy with?" came a familiar voice.
Li Fangcheng turned his head, and sure enough, Lao Wang came to visit again, wearing a vest, shorts, and slippers, holding the iconic big tea jar in his left hand and a large cattail leaf fan in his right hand.
"Hey, Lao Wang, you can sit down wherever you want, and I'll finish this work first." Li Fangcheng said, but his hands did not stop.
Lao Wang had just completed a business and was in a very happy mood. He looked around the store and saw that the three golden arowanas seemed to be longer and growing very fast. It seemed that the patented special water was really effective.
extraordinary.
There is also the silver arowana, which is also very good-looking. The scales on its body are like a warrior in silver armor, which is very majestic.
Lao Wang nodded in praise again and again. When his eyes turned to the four red arowanas, he sighed. Sure enough, they began to fade.
Li Fangcheng also finished his work. When he heard Lao Wang sigh, he walked over, brought Lao Wang a folding chair and asked him to sit down.
"Old Wang, is there nothing we can do about this red dragon?" Li Fangcheng asked.
"No trick, generally in order to add color to the red arowana, the normal way is to feed some live food such as red arrows or shrimps, because the bodies of red arrows and shrimps contain red pigments, which can play a certain role. But like
Injecting hormones and other methods will do a lot of damage to the red dragon's body. Once it fades, it will be difficult to recover." Lao Wang shook his head and said.
"These profiteers are really evil." Li Fangcheng said angrily.
"Well, this is nothing. I heard that there are also people who use hunger and blinding colors. The former is to control the feeding and prevent the fish from being full. The latter is more powerful because it makes the red dragon in the water.
When young fish are young, they use astigmatism or other methods to make them amblyopic, or completely blind them to stimulate body color. It is said that this can make the red arowana's body color brighter. This fish will suffer if it falls into their hands." Lao Wang said as he spoke.
He turned his mouth, showing a look of intolerance.
"These bastards are too cruel." Li Fangcheng shuddered after hearing this. Although the villagers killed pigs, chickens and sheep, they never abused animals. Even when slaughtering livestock, they tried to use the fastest method to reduce the number of livestock.
Take some pain.
"So, the water here is deep. Some people nowadays will do whatever it takes to earn money for the Zhanying Omega watermark." Lao Ren sighed.
The two continued chatting, and Lao Wang told Li Fangcheng some characteristics to identify tampering with ornamental fish. Li Fangcheng also made a small notebook to record it.
Of course, just listening to some things is not enough. You also need to see more. After all, the cultivation of eyesight does not happen overnight.
Lao Wang chatted for a while and then went back to his store. Seeing that he had nothing to do for the time being, Li Fangcheng took out the teaching materials and read them.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong." The gongs and drums on the phone rang. Li Fangcheng took the phone and took a look to see Huzi's number.
"Hey, Huzi, we're chatting again, I'm reading a book." Li Fangcheng said.
"Who are you chatting with? I'm going to the city soon. Come pick me up at the long-distance bus station." Huzi's voice came from the receiver, along with chaotic noises all around.
"You guys, you didn't tell me earlier. I thought it would be two days later." Li Fangcheng was surprised. He didn't expect Hu Zi to come so soon.
"Haha, don't I want to give you a surprise? I've finished my work over there, so there's no point in staying around. Come over soon." Huzi said with a smile.
"Okay, just wait. Just wait at the station door. Don't wander around. I'll pick you up." Li Fangcheng hung up the phone after saying that.
He shook his head, this tiger likes to do tricks.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Let's finish work early and pick up people. Li Fangcheng called Fatty Luo again and said something about spreading wings, then tidied up the store, turned off the fish tank lights, locked the door and set off.
Fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire.
At the long-distance bus station, among the endless flow of people, Huzi, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray shorts, had shaved his head and looked very energetic. At this time, he was walking outside the station carrying large and small bags, and
Keep looking around.
Like Li Fangcheng when he first came to the city, everything felt new to him. High-rise buildings, huge advertisements, all kinds of cars, and beautiful girls in fashionable clothes. He really felt like two eyes were not enough.
Things at home have been dealt with. Huzi's acquaintance came over two days ago and took away all the fighting cocks and chickens. Huzi specially introduced the red-feathered fighting cock to him, saying that this chicken once defeated Gui Laosan.
The quality of the Thai fighting cock is very good, but it has passed its prime now and is not suitable for entering the competition arena anymore. I hope it can be treated well.
The acquaintance was a professional gamecock breeder. He carefully inspected the condition of the red-feathered gamefowl, nodded repeatedly, and said that the gamefowl was indeed in good condition and met the standards for breeding chickens. He was in short supply of this.
Huzi breathed a sigh of relief. The red-feathered fighting cock finally had a good place to go. It was surrounded by all kinds of hens every day, which was enough for it to live happily for the rest of its life.
Huzi left the long-distance bus station and found a shady place to wait near the door. Not long after, he saw Li Fangcheng walking in this direction from a distance. He quickly raised his hand and shouted hello.
"Huzi, you made a surprise attack again, look at the sweat on my forehead." Li Fangcheng approached and said dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, didn't I tell you this? Let me see, tsk tsk, he is whiter and fatter than before. It seems that he is living a good life." Huzi looked at Li Fangcheng carefully and admired.
"Pull you down, let's go." Li Fangcheng said, helping Huzi pick up a bag and pulling him towards the bus stop.
The two of them got off the bus at Antai Road, walked all the way to the corner of Shigu Lane, and came to the outside of the bun shop. It was only around five o'clock, and the inside and outside of the bun shop were already bustling with people. Customers were coming in and out, making it a busy scene.
.
"Fang Cheng, is this the bun shop opened by Brother Ranzi? The business is so good," Huzi said in surprise.
"It's nothing. If it's the weekend, there will be more people. Come on, let's go around the back." Li Fangcheng said with some pride. Then he pulled Huzi through the alley next to him and walked through the backyard back to his room.
He asked Huzi to put all the luggage in the room first, poured a glass of water, and said he would go see Brother Ranzi after a short break to see how he would arrange it.
…………………………………………
Li Youran was sitting in the office. He had nothing to do at the moment. He took his mobile phone and played the game "Ultimate Tower Defense". This was a mobile game he had just learned recently. It was a good way to relieve his boredom and change his mind.
Of course, playing this during working hours is a right that only the boss can enjoy.
Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Li Youran said, pressing the game pause button at the same time and putting the phone on the table.
The door opened and Li Fangcheng walked in.
"Fang Cheng, are you coming here so early today?" Li Youran was a little surprised.
"Brother Ranzi." Huzi stepped forward to say hello.
"It turns out to be Hu Zi. When did he come here? He's quite energetic." Li Youran said with a smile.
"Haha, I just came here. I'm going to report to Brother Ranzi now." Huzi touched the back of his head.
Li Youran asked the two of them to sit down, chatted for a while, and then asked about Li Shuanzhu.
Huzi told Li Youran that Li Shuanzhu had sent his mother to the County People's Hospital for medical treatment. He heard that there was a counterpart support expert there who specialized in treating respiratory diseases. Li Shuanzhu asked him to tell him a few days ago
After settling things at home, go to the city.
Li Youran nodded. Only by resolving his worries can Li Shuanzhu settle down.
Then Huzi asked impatiently about his work arrangements.
"Huzi, it's not easy to work here. You have to be mentally prepared." Li Youran said.
"Brother Ranzi, are we from the countryside still afraid of being tired? I didn't say anything." Huzi seemed confident.
"Well, we are a restaurant here, so you can help in the kitchen. Have a good rest first, and then just ask Uncle Qi to work tomorrow." Li Youran thought for a while and made arrangements.
"No, Brother Ranzi, um, I...I want to work with Fang Cheng." Huzi was anxious and hesitated to make his request.
"What? You are so picky about your work. When you two guys are together, you can't just be naughty and mischievous. Otherwise, you can discuss how to play all day long. What other serious things can you do?" Li
Youran deliberately raised her face.
Li Fangcheng also came to plead for mercy, saying that the aquarium store is indeed short of manpower now. He has to sell fish, haul water, and provide water quality care services to high-end customers. He is really too busy by himself.
"I said you didn't want me to add someone to you some time ago. It turns out I was leaving room for Hu Zi." Li Youran stared at his younger brother, who immediately felt uncomfortable and lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Huzi quickly stood up and expressed his determination, saying that as long as he was asked to go to the aquarium shop to help, he would work honestly and never cheat. If he couldn't do it, he would pack up his bed and leave if Brother Ranzi said anything.
.
Li Youran leaned on the back of the office chair, touching his chin with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, obviously thinking.
Huzi and Li Fangcheng both looked at him eagerly.
"Well, since you two guys are so good friends, let's work together first. You can talk ugly things first. If something happens, don't blame me for being rude." Li Youran finally nodded.
The two Huzis immediately beamed with joy and thanked them profusely.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Both of you must be careful not to talk about what happened in your hometown last time." Li Youran suddenly reminded.
Huzi and Li Fangcheng both nodded to show that they understood.
Then, Li Youran said that there were not many rooms in the store at the moment. Since Huzi was here, he should live in the same room as Fang Cheng, go to the logistics department to get a folding camp bed and bedding, and take a shower and eat after settling in.
Of course, the two of them had no objections and went out together happily.
Li Youran shook his head. These two boys still made people feel uneasy, so he gave Fatty Luo a message saying that a little fellow from the country had come, he was a friend of Fang Cheng, and he wanted to join the aquarium shop, so he could
Teach what needs to be taught and manage what needs to be managed.
Fatty Luo naturally agreed, saying that he was very good at disciplining people.
Li Youran teased, just be careful not to bring yourself in. Maybe the three of you guys have the same bad taste and make the aquarium shop a mess.
Fatty Luo naturally grabbed all the money.
…………………………………………
Li Fangcheng took Huzi back to the room and asked him to prepare a change of clothes and go to the staff bathroom to take a shower. He went out to the logistics department to ask for a bed for Huzi.
For dinner, Li Fangcheng brought steamed buns, side dishes and mung bean soup back to the room. This was Huzi's first time eating food from the bun shop. He had never thought that there were such delicious steamed buns, side dishes, mung bean soup, etc.
Everything is delicious.
Huzi's appetite suddenly increased, and his appetite was almost twice as much as usual. Li Fangcheng was not surprised. He was also like this when he first came here. He quickly advised this guy not to overeat.
After dinner, Li Fangcheng took Huzi around the store and got to know Uncle Qi, Zhao Cuihua and other key managers. Of course, Feng Daniu had returned to his hometown and was not here.
At about half past seven, Zhao Cuihua came to Li Fangcheng and asked him to go to school together.
"Ah, Fang Cheng, are you still in school?" Huzi asked strangely. Fang Cheng was just like him in the countryside. He was not good at studying. He didn't expect that he could learn well after entering the city.
"Of course, I am currently studying in a business management training class at Tianhai University in the north. Do you know that Tianhai University focuses on famous brands and no one in our entire township can pass the exam?" Li Fangcheng said proudly.
"I pulled you down. What does it have to do with you, whether it's important or not. It's just a night school training class." Just as Huzi was dumbfounded, Zhao Cuihua exposed his deception in an angry and funny way.
"Sister Cuihua, what are you doing so early?" Li Fangcheng said dissatisfied.
"Stop talking so much and go to school quickly. Your brother will scold you again if I delay you." Zhao Cuihua urged.
After Li Fangcheng left, Huzi stayed alone in the house watching TV. Everything here made him feel novel and excited. The bustling metropolis, the delicious food, and the city life he longed for was about to begin.
