Chapter 317 Grass tank delivery and Lao Wang talk about walnuts
Early the next morning, Li Fangcheng and Hu Zi worked together to fill the aquatic plant tank reserved by the customer and prepare for delivery.
The 80-centimeter-long glass tank doesn't look too big, but the discharged water is also collected in several large buckets. The water is discharged until only a thin layer of water is left from the surface of the bottom sand.
Even so, the glass jar plus the remaining contents inside is not light. This is a strenuous task, and Li Fangcheng and Hu Zi must work together.
The two brothers lifted the aquatic plant tank onto an electric tricycle and tied it with ropes. They also loaded the water filter pump and other equipment into the carriage, and brought special liquid fertilizer and several bags of bulk special water.
When she was ready, Li Fangcheng explained a few words to Meng Huijuan and asked her to look after the store alone. If there are customers coming, she will greet them. If she is unsure, she can call them. If the customers want to buy fish and she is not easy to do it, just ask
Xiao Yang from next door came to help me temporarily.
Meng Huijuan nodded in agreement, letting them go and deliver the goods with confidence.
Li Fangcheng and Li Fangcheng set off, found the apartment building at the address half an hour later, and took the elevator to the customer's home. At this time, the young couple had already prepared the base cabinets and dried tap water, waiting for their arrival.
With the aquatic plant tank and equipment in place, first sort out the various plants that were slightly tilted and scattered due to the bumps on the road, and then put a piece of plastic sheet on the bottom to prevent the bottom sand from being washed away, and then slowly add tap water and bulk special
Pour the water in separately.
Finally, the special liquid fertilizer in the cylinder is added, the power is turned on, and the lights and various equipment are debugged and run normally.
"When will this achieve the same effect as in your store?" the hostess asked, looking at the turbid water and aquatic plants in poor condition in the tank.
"Is this your first time raising a grass tank? The overall water change is like this, relatively turbid. There are also water plants. This is pumped and transported, and it is normal to have a little wilting. If you want to get the ornamental effect, you have to wait for filtration.
The water will be completely clear only after the water pump has been working for more than ten hours. By then the water plants will have regained their energy. Don’t worry, the results will be satisfactory to you. If you have any questions, just call the phone number on the order." Li Fangcheng explained patiently.
Say, and show the receipt and delivery note to the other party at the same time.
After the male owner asked some more maintenance questions and related precautions, he paid the balance.
Li Fangcheng and Li Fangcheng said goodbye and went out, going downstairs to return to Yishunyuan Market.
When I returned to the Huolong Aquarium Store, I saw Lao Wang from the Xiaoyao Store strolling over to visit and chatting with Meng Huijuan.
"Fang Cheng, Hu Zi is back." Lao Wang greeted.
"I'm back, Lao Wang. I'm so free today." Huzi responded.
"It's the National Day holiday, isn't it always like this? How could your store be so great and keep doing business? I heard that we just sold a set of aquatic plants?" Lao Wang visited the aquatic plants here a few days ago.
It was also highly praised.
"Yes, Lao Wang, we don't know how to do that stuff. We sell one for less. Can you ask Xiao Yang to come over and help us guide you?" Li Fangcheng said.
"Sure. It's a small matter." Lao Wang immediately called his assistant Xiao Yang over and asked him to see how he could help.
"I have only learned a little about the construction of grass tanks from others before. I haven't done it for a long time, so I may be rusty. Besides, I have never studied design, so I can only copy a few routines." Xiao Yang understood this.
It means. Be humble first.
Li Fangcheng quickly explained that his requirements were not high, and he could provide guidance on how to do it. Whatever he needed would be fine.
Next, Xiao Yang asked for paper and pen, and made a purchase list, aquatic plants tank and related equipment, more than a dozen kinds of aquatic plants, bottom sand, sunken wood, etc. He said that he would just come to him when everything was ready. He also introduced a glass company
The vat specialty store is located in Yishunyuan Market. It is said that the products there are relatively affordable.
After talking about business, Xiao Yang went back to the shop to get busy. Lao Wang liked the excitement and saw that there were no customers on both sides for the time being, so he stayed in the Huolong shop to chat with Li Fangcheng. Meng Huijuan sat at the small table and opened Li Fangcheng's laptop.
, continue to check the relevant information of the aquatic plant tank.
Li Fangcheng was about to ask about the overall performance of Xiaoyao Aquarium Store during the National Day Golden Week when he suddenly heard the sound of "click, click" objects rubbing and hitting in his ears, and the sound was clear and sweet.
He was a little strange and quickly searched around for the source of the sound. After a minute, he found out that it was Lao Wang who was doing it. He was sitting on a chair, rubbing his right palm constantly, and two ball-like things were spinning in his hand.
Turn around and make a series of noises.
"Old Wang, what are you playing at?" Li Fangcheng asked curiously.
"Oh, you're talking about this, hemp walnuts." Upon hearing this, Lao Wang stopped rubbing and spread his right palm. Two brown-red walnuts of the same size appeared on it, about four centimeters in diameter.
"I said Lao Wang, what's so interesting about these walnuts? Let's crack them and eat the walnut kernels. I like this the best." Huzi stretched out his hand and motioned to Lao Wang to hand the walnuts to him.
Lao Wang suddenly retracted his hand.
"Huzi, I'd like to say that you are just ignorant and ignorant. Are sesame walnuts for eating?" Lao Wang said and glared at Huzi.
"What are you going to do with these walnuts if you don't want to eat them? There are two walnut trees in the west of our village. They have thin shells and large kernels, and they taste delicious." Li Fangcheng also asked strangely.
"Hey, you two have been in the city for a long time. You have never heard of this. It's really good. If you use it to eat, it will be a joke if it spreads. Come on, I'm in a good mood today. I'll clean it for you two.
I'm blind, remember, this is called Wenwan walnut, which is not the same thing as the edible thin-skinned walnut sold on the street. This thing has a thick shell and small peach kernel. It is specially used to play with. It can massage acupoints and provide hand therapy.
The role of fitness. If an elderly person exercises every day, it will be a piece of cake to live a long life." Lao Wang began to give a lecture to these two ignorant boys.
"Hand therapy? I really don't know. Foot therapy is quite common. There are many small shops on the street, with large glass windows. The pedicurists are all sitting in rows on the sofa, and they are all dressed up in fancy clothes." Huzi was still the first.
When I heard this term once, I suddenly made an association.
"Go, those are just trying to sell dog meat. In fact, there are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet and palms of the human body. Regular massage can stimulate blood circulation and prolong life." Lao Wang promptly corrected his misconceptions.
Li Fangcheng and Hu Zi heard it interesting, so they quickly took it one by one, holding it in their hands and looking at it carefully.
As expected, this walnut is very different from the walnuts I have eaten before. The skin is thick, the texture is tight and hard, the texture is deep, and the weight is heavy, which makes it a bit heavy.
Looking at the light, I guess it has been played with for a long time, and it is still shiny, giving people a very comfortable and oily feeling.
"Haha, from what you said, it looks pretty good. These walnuts cost more than ten yuan a pound, right?" Huzi said, tossing the walnuts for fun. Lao Wang was startled and he quickly snatched them back.
"You prodigal boy, don't be careful. It's only more than ten yuan a pound. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Let me tell you, my pair of nuts have a name, called Tiger Head. They have never done sex.
They were hand plated, and they are a good match. I spent more than a thousand yuan to buy them not long ago." Lao Wang quickly corrected the name of the pair of treasures in his hand, so that the two boys in front of him would not take them seriously.
"More than a thousand, it's so expensive." Li Fangcheng said in surprise.
"Yeah, this older walnut tree can't bear more than 1,200 berries at a time. If it's so expensive, that kind of walnut tree won't be around." Huzi also interjected and questioned.
"Oh, you two. I don't even know what to say. For example, your fish shop is full of fish, so how come a silver dragon sells for hundreds, a thousand, while a gold dragon costs tens of thousands."
Here, he glanced at the two boys.
Li Fangcheng and Huzi immediately understood. It seems that everything must be divided into high, middle and low grades.
"There are a lot of Wenwan walnuts on the market, ranging from a few yuan to tens of yuan, expensive to tens of thousands, and even a pair of the most expensive, hundreds of thousands. Just pay attention to the variety and appearance, and there is a lot of knowledge here.
Nowadays, more and more people like to collect these things. However, everything is rare and expensive. Like the tiger head in my hand, it is even in size and has basically the same texture. It has not been damaged or cracked. This must be done from above.
It is very rare to pick out such a pair among thousands of pecans. It is not easy for those who specialize in pecan planting to find a few pairs of good products in a year's harvest." Lao Wang took a drink from the tea jar.
, continue to explain.
"Haha, it's really interesting."
Li Fangcheng said, taking the other one from Lao Wang's hand, and turned the two walnuts like he did just now. With a crisp collision sound, the palms of his hands gradually became warm and felt quite comfortable. It seemed like a hand therapy.
Not false.
"It is said that this thing was started by Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty." Lao Wang turned the topic to the history of walnuts.
"I know that. He is a carpenter emperor. He is good at carpentry work. He is a national technical pacesetter and a model worker." Huzi interjected.
He remembered that there used to be an old carpenter in the village. He admired two people the most in his life. One was Lu Ban, and the other was the carpenter emperor. When chatting, he always said, what's wrong with the carpenter? There is still an emperor among our carpenters.
Well. When I talk about this, my face is full of pride.
"Yes, Emperor Tianqi liked to play with walnuts at that time, and even carved them with his own hands. The work was exquisite and exquisite, so there was no choice. Besides, this leader is so good at it, and the people below him still don't follow suit." Lao Wang continued.
said.
"Later, this trend spread to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. From the emperor's relatives to the nobles and the common people, they all kept a pair of walnuts in their hands. It was fashionable, just like the current mobile phone.
If you don’t have a pair of good walnuts in your hand when you go out, you won’t be able to say hello to others.”
"Good walnuts include lion heads, tiger heads, official hats, young man's hats, chicken hearts, Arhat heads, etc..."
Seeing that the audience was attentive, Lao Wang couldn't help but get emotional and started talking.
Li Fangcheng and Hu Zi opened their eyes wide. They didn't expect that this little walnut contained so much knowledge.
Li Fangcheng listened for a while and found it very interesting. He couldn't help but start thinking. If Wenwan Walnuts were so popular, he would have special water here, and the effect of growing flowers and fish would be great. The flowers and trees in Brother Youran's courtyard are proof of this.
.If you plant a few pecan trees there, they might be able to produce something interesting.
But this idea was kept deep in my heart and I didn’t say it out loud. I might give it a try if I have a chance in the future. (..)
