Hey, it's really not cheap. Li Youran was surprised when he heard the price.
"My cross-backed golden dragon was imported from Malaysia, but the blue background is a bit light and the head is half gold, otherwise the price would be higher." Boss Tao continued to introduce.
Li Youran took a closer look and saw that the edges of the scales of this fish were thin golden frames, and the blue in the middle was a bit gray.
"Boss Tao, what are the best varieties of cross-backed golden dragons?" he asked.
"The best varieties are usually blue with gold over the back and gold with gold over the back. The latter is even the background is gold. Of course, it mainly depends on the individual appearance." Boss Tao explained patiently.
"Who would buy such expensive fish?"
"Haha, little brother, there are many arowana enthusiasts now, including officials, bosses, and celebrities. Putting one in your office or villa will be auspicious and classy."
Li Youran chatted with Boss Tao for a few more words, and then went to check out other boutiques.
Basically, every boutique has a few high-grade over-backed golden dragons, red dragons, flowered arhats, etc., but most of the other fish are of a different quality, such as the same arowana, high-backed golden dragon, and gemstone golden dragon.
The price is only a fraction or even a tenth of that of the Golden Dragon.
This is the case with everything, the rarer the better the more valuable it is.
There is a large store called "Longxiang" in the boutique area. Its area is several times that of other stores. It is said to be the store of a large ornamental fish company. There is a top-quality blue-backed cross-back golden arowana known as the "Arowana King", which is as long as
It is more than 50 centimeters long, with almost perfect color, luster and body shape. This fish has won the championship of the city's arowana competition. As a treasure of the store, it is not for sale, so there is no price. There is an endless stream of admiring visitors.
Li Youran also took a look and was amazed that each mountain was higher than the other. This dragon fish king was obviously more beautiful and more imposing than the one just now. The title of champion was not earned for nothing.
He shopped around again, and when he finally left, he bought fifty "Red Lotus Lanterns". This is a small tropical fish with an olive-shaped body, about five centimeters long, with a shiny blue back and a through belly.
It is bright red, hence the name, and is somewhat similar to the most common fish like "traffic light", but it is much more expensive than the latter, costing ten yuan a piece.
His purpose in buying the "Red Lotus Lantern" was to test the water first, see the effect, and prepare for raising arowanas in the future.
Li Youran walked out of the ornamental fish area with a water bag that had been pierced and filled with oxygen. She didn't want to go shopping anymore, so she went straight to the car, opened the trunk, put the water bag in, and drove back.
Returning to Baozi Shop, he took the water bag to the south warehouse on the first floor, locked the door, took out the jade fish tank, and filled one of the glass fish tanks with water. He found that with the increase in use, the maximum water output of the jade fish tank had increased.
It has improved a lot and it only takes ten minutes to fill a fish tank.
While filling the water, he sterilized the red lotus lantern, and then sent the little ones to their new home using a small fish bag.
After a few minutes, the little fish quickly adapted to the new environment and began to swim happily. However, these little guys are too small compared to the large fish tank of 1.5 meters. If one or two alone, they are likely to
Ignore. Fortunately, they are very united. Fifty fish move together and become a "fish group", moving forward, turning, rising, sinking and floating in various poses. A group of blue light spots are shining, which is really beautiful.
I wonder who is the leader of this group of fish, and who makes every move first? Li Youran thought curiously.
Just when he was about to find some feed to feed the fish, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw, oh, Fatty Luo.
"Hey, Fatty, I was just about to call you, and here you are, haha, what a coincidence." Li Youran said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, you can still blind me with your little trick, and the name Fat Zhuge is given to you for nothing." Fatty Luo said angrily.
"You don't want to give it to me, for fear of being thought of as stupid. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Go, you are so mean. You didn't call me when you came back, and you didn't leave any for me when you ate the shepherd's purse dumplings." Fatty Luo yelled.
"Yes, Weiwei, the director, is so irresponsible. Such a confidential matter as eating dumplings is actually spread to the outside world. This is not going to work. We need to be criticized and educated. Well, we have to deduct some bonuses and so on." Li Youran said to himself.
"I'm sorry you don't dare. If you offend Weiwei's custody, your store's accounts will be in a mess. Stop talking nonsense. I won't pursue the matter of you coming back from your hometown. I heard that the shepherd's purse dumplings are not bad. Get me some.
." Fatty requested.
"No, really, I've eaten them all. However, I brought back a lot of cured meat from my hometown. They are all very fat. They are the most suitable for you, so I will keep them all for you. Brother, that's cool."
When Fatty Luo heard this, he seemed to make a strange sound in his throat.
Li Youran sighed and had no choice but to say that he would buy some shepherd's purse in a few days and let him take it home. In the name of filial piety, he could just let his mother make dumplings for him. Why not.
Fatty Luo had to admit that this was a good idea, and at the same time offered to borrow a car and take Weiwei out for an outing tomorrow.
"I really owe you." Li Youran said.
At the same time, he remembered that it seemed that he had not taken the little girl out to play for a long time, and he, as an older brother, had not fulfilled his responsibilities. So he asked Fatty Luo to go out together and have a barbecue outdoors.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Luo immediately agreed readily, saying that he would prepare the barbecue box and alcohol stove, and Li Youran would be responsible for all the ingredients and condiments. This was the most rational division of labor.
Li Youran had no choice but to agree.
Pressing the end button, she dialed Sun Xiaoying's mobile phone again and told her the news of the outing. As expected, Sun Xiaoying was very happy and said that she would prepare the barbecue ingredients by herself.
Li Youran asked Uncle Qi to find a waiter to help with it after dinner.
The first thing is fish, which is indispensable. He went to the fish pond in the backyard, opened the glass lighting cover, and started netting fish with a fishing net. Sun Xiaoying also ran over and pointed with her little finger, asking for this one and that one. Li Youran relied on her agility to catch fish.
Satisfied with each of her skills, Sun Xiaoying happily clapped her hands.
After getting seven or eight fish in total, Li Youran carried the bucket of fish to the kitchen, and then had dinner with Sun Xiaoying.
After the meal, Li Youran and the waiter hired by Uncle Qi processed the fish together.
After the basic treatments such as caesarean section, scale scraping, and gill removal are completed, make a few cuts on the back of the fish, sprinkle salt, ginger powder, cooking wine, pepper and other seasonings to give the fish a massage, and then fill the belly of the fish with green onion slices and ginger.
Slice and work together. Finally put it in the refrigerator to chill.
On the other side, Sun Xiaoying is preparing vegetable skewers, tofu skewers, tofu skin skewers, gluten skewers, etc. She has already made a lot of them by piercing them with bamboo skewers.
"This is for making spicy hotpot." the little girl said.
Haha, there are grilled fish and spicy food, there are so many varieties. Li Youran is also looking forward to tomorrow's outing.
