Chapter 96 I want to raise the most expensive fish

"Old man, where are we going?"

Ye Tian was a little dazzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Look for a store that sells birds, fish and insects. The more exotic the better."

"Anything to say?"

"The rarer the fish, the more valuable they are, and the more special the bait used to feed them is."

"I see!"

Ye Tian nodded and followed the old man.

Along the way, I passed several places selling birds, but I took a look at the bait they could provide.

The only insect types are mealworms and the like, which are not even comparable to the maggots at the old man’s house.

Shaking their heads in disgust, the two continued to move forward.

I also saw hamsters and frogs for sale, but unfortunately mealworms were still the mainstream.

However, one of the vendors that sells squirrels offers some different insect feeds.

Centipede, scorpion etc.

Seeing these things, the old man's eyes lit up.

Come up and ask about the price.

Unexpectedly, the other party’s offer was astonishing.

Insects such as centipedes and scorpions are counted according to strips. Each strip is at least a few pieces, and more often there are dozens or hundreds of strips.

Ye Tian and the old man couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

"Boss, why is this bait used to feed mice so expensive?"

"Expensive? Master, I guess you have never raised such a thing before. This thing is not just for the mice to eat, but for fighting."

"fight?"

"Yes, some players who breed chipmunks now like to record videos or broadcast live broadcasts, putting these poisonous insects in to fight the chipmunks. This is to attract attention. Otherwise, who would buy such expensive things to feed their pets. "

The store owner said.

The two men looked at each other, both feeling surprised.

I have to say that city people really know how to play.

But even so, the old man was still a little ready to make a move.

He looked at those centipedes, earthworms and the like with burning eyes.

But he was stopped by Ye Tian.

"Old man, if you have money, you can't spend it like this. If we feed such expensive things back to cockroaches, if others find out, they will say that we are crazy."

"But these things can very well test the combat effectiveness of cockroaches, and they are of great research value."

"If you want to test it, why don't you catch it in the wild? You can catch a lot of it, so why buy it?"

Ye Tian was telling the truth. The last time he caught crickets, he caught a lot of things like these. Although they were not as big and scary as the ones sold in this store, they were enough for experiments.

"Catch, it's not that easy to catch, right?"

"Old man, if all you want is centipedes, scorpions or something, just leave it to me. I promise to get you a lot of them."

"That's what you said!"

The old man saw that Ye Tian didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded.

The two of them continued walking forward.

Before I knew it, I came to a place selling ornamental fish.

Soon, the two of them were attracted by something in the hand of a shop owner.

And the store entrance is quite popular.

"Old man, what that man is holding is a bee pupa?"

"Ok!"

As an expert, the old man naturally recognized it at a glance.

"That stuff isn't cheap. I remember when I was a kid, someone would go into the mountains to collect it. It weighed dozens of pounds."

"How many dozens? Little guy, I'm afraid you're still living in the past. This thing doesn't cost three or two hundred. It's really impossible to get it. Even an adult bumblebee only costs a few dollars each. And this is not That fancy thing used to fight rats just now, the bee pupa itself has very high nutritional value. If you take it back and feed it to cockroaches, you may get different data, but not necessarily."

Ye Tian smiled bitterly.This old man is here again.I really don't care about money.

Of course, the shop owner in front of me seemed to be someone who didn't care about money.

Holding a plate of honeycomb in one hand.

Holding a plump bee pupa in one hand.

Without blinking, he threw it into the fish box in front of him.

bang.

A fiery red figure exploded into waves on the water.

The bug was swallowed by it.

With a swipe of his tail, he started wandering leisurely again.

"Beautiful, with this body and shape, he is a good fish."

"Old man, what can you say about this fish?"

"There's no explanation, it's just simple, expensive!"

"How expensive?"

As soon as Ye Tian heard that it was related to money, he immediately became interested.

"Like this one, I think I've had it for more than a year. It has shiny fur and a good figure. Although the head-to-tail ratio is a bit off, it's still worth 30 to [-]. And at this price, I can't say no to the red arowana. It’s considered high, a really good one. Even if it’s bigger, it can reach millions of dollars.”

"Millions? A fish?"

Ye Tian was shocked.

I work hard from dawn to dusk, and I feel like I have achieved a small amount of success if I can earn hundreds of thousands a month.

In the end, it’s nothing compared to a fish!

"Old man, is this thing easy to keep?" Ye Tian quickly asked the question without much thought.

"It depends on the situation. It's neither difficult nor easy, but one thing remains the same. If anyone can really raise this thing, then it's not worth the price."

"No, what I mean is, will this one be like the previous cricket? It becomes more powerful and depreciates in value."

"You kid, what do you think about all day long? You didn't listen to what I just said. The starting price of this thing is too high for a layman. If you don't pay attention, you may lose everything."

Seeing that Ye Tian was very moved, the old man quickly revealed the great relationship.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tian persevered.He blinked his big eyes and asked again.

"Will it depreciate?"

"No, unlike crickets, this one is for viewing only. The main purpose is to accompany and show off. Many people will raise good-looking fish as children, so as long as they raise good-looking fish, they will be valuable."

Old Man Lu said helplessly.

"Old man, I remember you have a fish pond in your garden, right?"

Ye Tian rolled his eyes and asked.

"You guys don't want to use my viewing pond to raise red arowana, do you? I advise you not to have such an idea. I have raised this fish for a while, and it is not difficult to raise it, but it must be of good quality. Yours has Technology. It’s difficult for you to operate in a fish pond.”

"As long as you can make a living, everything is difficult at the beginning. If you don't have skills, we can learn."

No matter what Old Man Lu tried to persuade, Ye Tian was still in high spirits.

After all, Ye Tian really didn't believe that there were animals that he couldn't cure with his poison skills at his disposal.

Thinking about it, Ye Tian had already squeezed to the front of the crowd.

"Boss, how do you sell this fish?"

The latter glanced at Ye Tian and smiled slightly.

"Little brother, I don't want to sell my fish."

"Not for sale?"

Ye Tian was a little confused. Why don't you show off your hair?

Seeing that Ye Tian was a little stunned, the boss smiled again.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to sell it, but that I can't bear it. Of course, if you can offer me the starting price, little brother, I can bear the pain and part with it."

"How many?"

"50 million!"

"50?"

Ye Tian frowned, remembering that the old man just said that the fish was worth 30 to [-] yuan, and that he was very familiar with the details in it, so he shouldn't be lying.

So, this boss is obviously talking to the lion.

However, I originally asked for the price just because I wanted to see the price. If it was really that high, that would be easy.

“Boss, do you sell fry of this kind of fish?”

The boss was happy.

"Little brother, you've got the point right now. The red arowana fry here are all from the same place of origin as this big red arowana. They are native to Indonesia, and the quality is guaranteed to be excellent. It's easy to feed them when you take them back. Moreover, they have been doing a lot of work in the past few days. Special price, if you really want it, 3500 a piece, you can take it."

"3500? How big is it?"

Ye Tian swallowed his saliva. Although he was mentally prepared, he felt that the price was a bit higher than expected.

"No, it's as big as the fish box."

Ye Tian went over and took a look. There was indeed a group of small blue fish swimming inside, each one about the size of a fruit knife.

"Boss, why is the color of your fish wrong? Red arowana, shouldn't it be red?"

"Haha, little brother, you haven't raised red dragon jade before, right? This fish was this color when it was young. It needs to be improved when it grows into red. This step is also the most interesting part of raising red dragon jade. The process of improvement is often... It determines its future appearance.”

Seeing that there were more and more people watching, the boss answered patiently, as if he wanted to arouse more people's interest.

"Then how long will it take to grow this fry to the size of your 50 fish?"

Ye Tian continued to ask.

"This one lasts about a year and a half. It depends on what you feed it. If the food you feed has high enough nutritional value and is fresh enough, it will grow faster."

a year and a half?

Ye Tian frowned again.

Although he wants to make a lot of money, his personality dictates that he doesn't like to spend money in vain.

It takes 3500 seedlings one and a half years to see results. Within this time, there are too many uncertainties.

"Boss, can you make your fry cheaper?"

"Little brother, you can go and ask around. My price for fry of this size is definitely not high. It's not cheap."

"Are there any smaller ones? The cheaper, the better."

"Smaller? Little brother, you are not here to tease me, are you? The authentic red arowana fry shipped to our country are all of my specifications. If you think of a smaller one, Nuo, they can sell it to you cheaply, but you can take it back If you don’t know how to raise it, don’t blame me,”

As he spoke, the shop owner pointed to a fish box.

Ye Tian went over and looked at it for a long time. Except for two red arowanas that were a little less active and twice as small as 50, there were no small fish at all.

"Boss, where is the fry you mentioned? Why can't I see it?"

"Isn't it right in front of you?"

The boss sneered, with a teasing look on his face.

"Okay, Xiaotian, let's go look elsewhere. There's nothing good to see here."

The old man also walked in at this moment.He frowned and said to Ye Tiandao.

"What's the matter, old man?"

"People are teasing you because they think you don't understand the business. You can't buy these two fish!"

"Old man, you heard me wrong. What I want to buy are fish fry, not these two big ones."

Ye Tian didn't understand.

"Haha, I'm talking about the fry. My boss wants you to buy the fry from the mouth of this big fish."
