Chapter 764: Visiting the Fish Market
Thinker Novel Network
In fact, Zhang Zian didn't know much about fish farming. Basically, he decided to open an aquarium and found information to make up for it. In addition, he learned from Carl and Paul. When his parents used to run a pet store, there were only two or three posing freshwater fish in the store, so they didn't have much experience in raising fish.
As they walked, Xiaoxue relayed to him the questions of the fish friends in the live broadcast room, but he was not as comfortable answering the questions of cats and dogs, and often needed to think for a while before answering. However, since the two are walking, they need to avoid pedestrians and vehicles, and they have to be clever to fight back the ridicule of netizens. Neither the netizens nor Xiaoxue can see that he is trying to answer the question.
What the netizens said is actually correct. Those who open an aquarium in Binhai City basically open a family to pay for it, and almost none of them can barely maintain a balance of income and expenditure, because it is too expensive to open an aquarium, and the prices of fish tanks, equipment, materials and aquatic organisms Not to mention, the monthly electricity bill alone is a huge expense.
The inventory cost of aquatic organisms is much higher than that of cats and dogs, but they are not as popular and popular as cats and dogs, so they lose more and earn less.
Zhang Zian was also beating drums in his heart. If he didn't manage well, he might lose all the money he had saved before.
The aquarium is struggling to survive, but the fish market in Binhai City has not disappeared because of this. The fishmongers in the fish market will try to reduce the inventory pressure. The fish purchased this week must be sold this week, and at the same time try to avoid the death of the fish. Feeding fish and dosing water is basically an open secret in the industry.
The two walked through several streets and came near the fish market.
Although it is a working day, parents with their children often come from the direction of the fish market because most of the primary schools have not yet opened.
The parents held the fish tank in their hands, and the children held a transparent plastic bag. There were one or two cheap cold-water fish in the plastic bag. The parents and children enjoyed themselves together, although Zhang Zian knew that most of these fish might die in a few days. Lose.
Children do not know how to raise fish and have no patience. They are eager for the small fish to grow up in the blink of an eye, and are afraid of starving the fish. They will feed the fish frequently, and often feed the fish to death. It will be cloudy, full of food residues, and finally die due to the deterioration of water quality.
Germany's strict pet breeding regulations can prevent this from happening, but if China follows suit, it is estimated that the fish market will be cold the next day.
"Is that the fish market over there? It's my first time here." Xiaoxue tiptoed and looked into the distance.
"I've never been here before."
Zhang Zian was also looking at the fish market.
The fish market is actually slightly more advanced than the dog market. The dog market is full of open-air stalls, probably because the pets sold there are relatively strong and are not afraid of wind and rain, but there is actually a building in the fish market that covers an area The not-so-small three-story building provides shelter from the wind and rain for the merchants who settle in. It seems that the management is much more standardized than the dog market. It may still be unavoidable to cheat people, but at least it is not as desperate as the unscrupulous businessmen in the dog market. All goodness.
At the entrance of the fish market is a rusty and mottled archway, which looks like it has been around for a long time, with the words "Binhai City Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market" written on it.
drop!
A car horn blared behind them.
They turned sideways to get out of the way, and a van loaded with various ornamental fish drove into the fish market, stopped at the back of the fish market building, and several workers who smelled like fish came out and poured tank after tank. Fish unloading trucks, the long-awaited fishmongers rushed to buy cheaper fish by the catty.
Around the third floor, there are also some scattered fish vendors. The fish they sell are relatively cheap, and the fish that the children carry in their hands may be bought from here.
Zhang Zian and Xiaoxue discussed it for a while, since they came here, they simply went shopping, starting from the scattered stalls on the periphery.
As he expected, most of the fish sold in the scattered stalls were very cheap fish, the so-called "practice fish".
In the industry, according to the price from low to high and the difficulty of breeding from easy to difficult, ornamental fish are divided into practice fish, commercial fish and high-quality fish.
There is no upper limit on the price of high-quality fish, and the specific boundaries are very vague.
Vendors in scattered stalls are generally not professional fish sellers, but aquarists sell fry and small fish bred by themselves. One is that there are not too many fish in their own fish tanks, and the other is to subsidize the family. The price of fish The pressure is often relatively low, which is relatively affordable, and you may be able to find good-looking ones.
"That's grass gold, that's koi, that's peacock, that's mary...these are hand fish, easy to raise, as long as there is a filter and a heating rod, you can raise it, if it's a cold water fish, even a heating rod is fine save."
They walked past the stalls one by one, and Zhang Zian introduced the types of fish to Xiaoxue one by one.
"Little girl, do you want to buy some? They are cheap and easy to raise."
Seeing Xiaoxue's pretty face and well-dressed clothes, the vendors sold their fish to her one after another.
"Wow! Is this a koi? It's so fat and cute!"
Xiaoxue squatted in front of a stall, and was attracted by the koi sold on the stall. After all, koi were fat and big, which attracted more attention than the gorgeous but smaller peacocks and Mary.
This stall sells several colors of koi, including golden, pure black, and red, white, yellow and black variegated koi. Some of them are about 15 centimeters long, and they are quite fat. Bubbles are bubbling.
What Xiaoxue was staring at were these big, fat koi.
"Little girl, do you want it? If you want it, it's cheap, and you can take it for 70 yuan for two." The vendor spared no effort to greet.
These koi carps were of the worst quality, and the bargain price was estimated to be 50 yuan for two, but Zhang Zian didn't say anything. After all, it's not easy to set up a stall outside in the cold weather.
Xiaoxue just looked at it fresh, she didn't really want to raise fish. The last time her own snowball slapped the crucian carp that Jin Er caught with one paw, she still remembered it vividly, and was worried that buying fish would become Xueqiu's food or plaything .
After seeing enough, she stood up with a smile and shook her head apologetically to the stall owner to say no, and then moved on.
"What are you doing over there? Is there a black-hearted profiteer cheating people?" She pointed to the front and asked.
There were several people around the stall, and they seemed to be arguing loudly. A middle-aged woman with a child had a loud voice.
Since Xiaoxue went to the dog market with Zhang Zian last time, she hated those profiteers who dyed chickens or sold sick dogs as normal dogs. Seeing this scene, she subconsciously thought that the profiteers were cheating people again.
"Don't rush to make a conclusion, let's go and have a look before we talk."
Zhang Zian suggested.
