After seeing off the fan group, Li Youran returned to the store. When it was closing time, he received a delivery call from the aquarium supplies store. He called Feng Daniu, and the two of them tidied up the south warehouse on the first floor and cleared an open space.
At this time, the aquarium store's delivery truck had arrived at the backyard gate, and Li Youran quickly ran to pick it up.
The door of the yard opened, and the small truck drove into the backyard. There were two large fish tanks packed in thick cardboard in the truck. The few young men in the truck unloaded the truck quickly, and under Li Youran's command, they carried the fish tanks into the warehouse on the first floor.
The clerks looked at these two big guys curiously, and Sun Xiaoying asked:
"Brother Youran, what is this?"
"The big fish tank, I ordered it a few days ago." Li Youran said while watching the technicians install it.
"Why buy a fish tank? Raise goldfish?" Sun Xiaoying continued to ask.
"No, we raise food fish and feed them to you, a greedy little cat." Li Youran said with a smile.
"You are the greedy cat." Sun Xiaoying made a face at Li Youran.
Not long after, the technicians at the aquarium store installed the filter pump, lighting and other equipment, and explained the usage and precautions to Li Youran. Then Li Youran wrote a note and asked him to go to the finance room on the second floor to check out.
After removing the packaging, the two large fish tanks stood against the wall, sparkling under the light. The aquarium shop's craftsmanship is really good. The glass is cut and polished in place, the glue seams are tight and neat, and they are paired with wooden base cabinets. They look very professional.
.
While the technicians at the aquarium shop were installing and debugging, Li Youran arranged for Feng Daniu to go to the farmer's market on the east side of Anhua Road to buy a batch of live fish, but not big and fat ones, specializing in thin ones, buying half-large fish of more than ten centimeters.
Any variety.
At this time, Li Youran made an excuse and asked the clerks to do other things.
"What are you doing? It's so mysterious." Sun Xiaoying pouted and left.
Li Youran closed the door and inserted the latch. Then he walked to the fish tank, stretched out his left hand, placed it on the inner wall of the fish tank, spread his fingers, and closed his eyes.
Ten seconds later, with a "pop" sound, five crystalline water lines spurted out from the fingertips and shot towards the bottom of the fish tank.
After more than twenty minutes, the water level in the fish tank rose to three-quarters, and he stopped filling the water and turned to another fish tank.
When both fish tanks were completed, Li Youran took a long breath and found a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead. This kind of work was still very labor-intensive.
After a while, he heard Feng Daniu's shout from the backyard, and Li Youran rushed over. What caught his eye were two large bulging oxygen-filled plastic water bags on a tricycle, containing dozens of fish of various sizes.
"Boss, this fish is really hard to buy. There are fish with fat heads and big ears everywhere in the aquatic product stalls, and each of them is as fat as a piglet. When those fish sellers heard my request, they looked at me as a monster.
I searched the entire market to get these." Feng Daniu said while wiping his sweat.
Li Youran understands that today's aquaculture has become all about making money. In order to increase production, farmers add a large amount of growth hormones, hormones, etc. to fish feed. The fish grow fat, but the meat is thin and tasteless. As for wild fish
, become even rarer due to river pollution and overfishing.
"Daniu, you've worked hard, go and have a rest." Li Youran picked up a bag in one hand and walked into the store lightly.
Feng Daniu looked at the back of the young boss with admiration in his eyes. He had spent a lot of effort getting these two water bags in the fish market.
Sun Xiaoying was chatting and laughing with Gu Weiwei in the corridor. When she saw Li Youran walking into the warehouse with a water bag, she became curious and the two of them followed her.
Li Youran put the water bag on the ground and untied the rope. Sun Xiaoying and Gu Weiwei came over to help support the mouth of the bag. Li Youran picked up a copy from the aquarium store, inserted it into the bottom of the water bag, and caught it.
Seven or eight fish. All of these fish looked listless and dull, and they didn't dodge at all.
"It's such a small fish, but do you want to make soup?" Gu Weiwei asked.
"We can't eat it now, we need to keep it for a while." Li Youran said, holding the bag and lifting the water bag. The fish in the bag bowed its body listlessly, flicked its tail, and couldn't bounce at all.
"But don't you need to cross the water? This is the case with the tropical fish we raise at home. It is difficult for new fish to adapt to water." Gu Weiwei knew a lot.
The so-called overwatering means that in order to allow the newly purchased fish to adapt to the original water environment of your home, you cannot put it into the tank immediately. Instead, you must add a portion of the old water in the tank to the water bag of the new fish at intervals to allow the fish to adapt slowly.
The temperature in the fish tank should also be slowly adjusted to the same temperature as the water in the fish tank. In this way, the survival rate of the fish will be higher.
"You are an ornamental fish, very delicate. This is an edible fish, so there is no need to bother. And I have a special formula that will make these fish cubs jump happily in a short time. Do you believe it or not?" Li Youran showed a mysterious smile.
"Believe it or not, these little fish have no energy at all. I don't know if they can survive until tomorrow?" Sun Xiaoying shook her head repeatedly.
Gu Weiwei also cast a negative look.
Li Youran didn't say any more. He put the copy into the fish tank one after another. Seven or eight fish, which were about half the size of a palm, were shaken into the water, slowly and in a suspended state.
He operated continuously, putting the fish in the two water bags into the two fish tanks respectively, and then bent down to observe carefully.
There are dozens of fish, including perch, carp, herring, and grass carp. By the way, there seem to be two small black fish cubs. These fish are carnivorous and will occupy the tank as they grow older.
The fish swam slowly in the water, but their movements were still sluggish, and their heads were drooping.
"Brother Youran, you are bragging." Sun Xiaoying said dissatisfied.
"It's not that fast. I'm not a god. You'll see again later." Li Youran actually didn't know what to do. After all, this was his first time raising fish.
Five minutes and ten minutes passed. The situation seemed to have improved, and the speed of the fish school slowly accelerated.
Twenty minutes later, a miracle finally occurred. All the fish in the tank became active, and they were running around in the water in high spirits, as if they had taken stimulants.
Gu Weiwei and Sun Xiaoying opened their eyes wide in surprise. This was incredible.
Li Youran let out a breath of relief. Space once again proved its powerful ability. The next step will be to see whether the space stream can improve the meat quality of fish. This is related to whether his career can reach a higher level.
Sun Xiaoying approached the fish tank, lifted her toes, and looked down.
"Pa." A red-tailed carp soared out of the water, turned somersaults in the air, and then fell back down with a splash of water.
"Oops." Sun Xiaoying hurriedly covered her face with her hands.
Li Youran burst out laughing when he saw this.
Gu Weiwei glared at him accusingly and pulled Sun Xiaoying back.
Li Youran smiled and handed over the towel.
"Haha, this carp likes you very much. He specially performs flying fish in the air for you to watch. Oh, no, this show is called Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate. It is very classic."
"You are still laughing, you are still laughing, this stinky fish, I will stew you later." Sun Xiaoying wiped her face with a towel and stamped her feet, her face turned red.
