Let you refine Gu and use cockroaches for environmental management?

Chapter 97 This is the rhythm of making big money

"What do you mean? There are still fish fry in your mouth?"

Ye Tian was even more surprised.

"After the female red arowana lays eggs, the male will hold the eggs in his mouth until the eggs hatch into fry. It is commonly known as holding eggs."

Old Man Lu explained.

While talking, he glanced at the shop owner coldly.

"Oh, I didn't expect the old gentleman to be an expert."

The shop owner's face became a little gloomy when he heard this.

Ye Tian was stunned.

"Then this kind of newly hatched fry shouldn't be too expensive, right?"

When the old man heard this, he glared at Ye Tian and said that he hated iron.

"Yes, it's certainly not expensive for a bastard. They can even give it to you for free, provided that you buy these two big fish."

"Big fish? Isn't this cheap?"

Ye Tian looked at the size of the two fish and frowned slightly.

"It's cheap. If you want it, little brother, it's absolutely cheap. Ten thousand pieces, you can take it."

When the shop owner saw Ye Tiandu was still very interested after being reminded, he couldn't help but said.

"One for 50 yuan? I think these two are just smaller than your [-] yuan one. Why is the price so low?"

Ye Tian was shocked.

"Well, you can ask the old man next to you. All I can say is that buying it at this price depends on your luck."

The boss raised his eyebrows.

Ye Tianze looked at the old man.

The latter explained angrily.

"Reproduction is not easy for red arowanas. They usually stop eating after holding eggs until the eggs hatch. The female fish has to protect the male fish and will stop eating. Therefore, for red arowanas, holding eggs is almost a narrow escape. , even if you are lucky enough to survive, your vitality will be severely damaged, you will lose your ability to grow, and most of them will die before they can persist for long, so if they ask for [-], they just want you to have a good time. Do you understand? You can't live on."

"How long will they stop eating?"

Ye Tian heard the key.

"At least 60 days, and the success rate of domestic red arowana eggs is close to 0."

"zero?"

Ye Tian was shocked.

He frowned and looked at the two huge fish, which had obviously lost their vitality.

"Old man, is this red arowana delicious?"

"eat?"

Old Man Lu was stunned, a little speechless: "I haven't eaten it, so I don't know. But you can definitely eat it."

Ye Tian turned to look at the shop owner: "Boss, what did you feed these two fish to grow up?"

"What else can be fed to red arowana? With such a picky mouth, if they want to grow well, they usually have various live baits such as small fish, shrimps, insects, etc., which is better than wild fish."

Ye Tian nodded.

I looked at the size of the aquarium.

Compared with the surrounding shops, it can be regarded as a unique one.

Now I have an idea in my mind.

"Boss, I want these two fish, five thousand each, how about it?"

"Five thousand? What are you dreaming about? The fry are worth 3500. I am still a finished fish. If you take [-] fish from you, it is already..."

"You are taking me for granted. I can give you five thousand just because these two fish are so big. I want to buy them back and try them. I can give you this price for edible fish. It is a sky-high price, right?" .”

"What kind of food fish? I am an ornamental fish. What nonsense are you talking about, young man?"

"Fish that hold eggs will die. Isn't that why you sell them at such a low price, boss? Who would buy two half-dead fishes to watch? Even if someone buys them at a high price, boss, how dare you sell them? You have such a big shop here. , aren’t you afraid that people will come back and cause trouble? So besides treating them as food fish, what else can they be used for?”

"This……"

The boss was speechless for a moment by Ye Tian.

Looking around, the onlookers seemed to be casting doubtful glances.After a moment of silence.

Suddenly smiled.

"Haha, my little brother is so eloquent. Yes, just like you said, my aquarium will not do such deceptive things. We will not keep fish with problems. Five thousand is five thousand, little Brother, you can take it if you like it, but let’s make it clear first, I’m selling it as edible fish, so you can’t use the dead fish to come to me for after-sales service.”

"That is for sure!"

Ye Tian's face lit up and he nodded happily.

Soon, Ye Tian sent [-] to the boss to complete the transaction.

Conveniently, Ye Tian also asked the boss for many benefits, such as silkworm chrysalis, large grasshoppers, etc. that he used to feed the fish.

However, Ye Tian definitely couldn't take back such a big fish, so he left the address to the boss and asked him to deliver it later, because the old man's fish pond definitely needed to be cleaned.

After everything was settled, the two of them walked out of the store.

Ye Tian couldn't help but look at Old Man Lu.

"Old man, why didn't you continue to persuade me just now?"

The old man was immediately laughed out of anger.

"Can I persuade you? Besides, old man, I have never tasted the taste of red arowana. I just want to try it this time."

"No, old man, I still expect you to teach me how to raise red arowana. Why did you arrange food?"

"Okay, you kid, don't pretend to be like me here. If you dare to buy this egg-bearing fish, don't you just want to bet on the effectiveness of our batch of mutated cockroaches as bait? It just so happens that I want to see it too. Besides, it's really No, just eat it, the price is just like a better seafood meal."

"Haha, as expected, Jiang is still smarter with age. He can't hide anything from the old man."

Ye Tian was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the old man could really guess his thoughts this time.Although there are some discrepancies in the details, and the old man does not know the existence of Gu, other things are similar.

The old man stroked his beard: "Actually, I've wanted to try it for a long time, but the cockroaches haven't grown up a few days ago, so I didn't have the guts to do it. Besides, your kid cultivated the cockroaches, so I'm too embarrassed to do it now. Just hit the muzzle yourself, don't feel bad when the time comes."

"Why do I feel bad about this? Old man, you work hard to create it. Our cockroaches eat more than others, grow faster than others, and are definitely not weak in reproduction, so there is no need to bear any burden. How to study how to study, it is best to It would be great if we could dig out more valuable information.”

"Well, then let's go shopping again?"

"Whatever, but it seems that it's hard to find the pests you want, old man, in this market. I guess it's up to Liangzi and I to go to Daqingshan to help you catch them."

"Yes, instead of wasting time here, it is more practical to buy a few lamps, which are cheap and easy to use."

"lamp?"

Ye Tian was slightly taken aback.

The old man smiled: "Don't tell me you don't know that bugs have the ability to gather light. This season is when they are most active. Putting a few bug-attracting lamps in the wild can attract a lot of bugs. As long as we continue Buy some supporting equipment and it should be easy to catch.”

Ye Tian's eyes lit up.

"Old man, I really belong to you."

I was worried that it would be hard to explain if I caught too many insects with Ju Chong Xiang.

The old man gave an excuse directly.

Why don't you give me a pillow when you feel sleepy?

The next moment, the two men began to stroll around the market excitedly.

It didn’t take long for me to find spotlights specially used to attract insects in some stores, and I also found a small speaker that could emit insect calls to attract insects.At the same time, which store is equipped with a funnel for catching insects? When the time comes, put the light on it and turn on the speaker. If the insects come in, they will slip into the smooth funnel and be unable to climb out if you are not careful.

After some shopping, the old man was in a good mood.He took Ye Tian to the flower area again.

"Old man, do you like orchids?"

Follow Old Man Lu.

Ye Tian couldn't help but ask as he looked at the orchids that always had only leaves and few flowers.

“It’s not that I like orchids, but orchids are challenging. Orchids are difficult to grow. Although their prices are often exaggerated, things that can be speculated on must not be widely available. Ordinary flowers are too easy for me to cultivate, but this orchid is the only one that even I haven't fully mastered yet."

"Like that orchid you withered before?"

"Uh, this...is sort of it."

The old man laughed dryly.

"Then do you want to buy orchid seedlings directly or take the seeds back?"

"Of course you have to buy seedlings. 80.00% of the orchids on the market now have no seeds and rely entirely on sprouting for reproduction. Just like your red arowana, being able to cultivate the best orchids by yourself is the highest achievement."

"That orchid that can catch your eye, old man, is probably worth a lot of money."

"It's not bad. The average seedlings only cost tens of millions. Even if you have money, you don't have anywhere to buy the better ones."

"Ten million dollars is still average? How much better?"

Ye Tian was surprised.

"Let me tell you this, flowers are truly top-notch products. Their value is definitely not lower than top-grade red arowanas. There are millions or even tens of millions per plant. Old man, I usually cultivate orchids. It’s a hobby, but the money I make from this is far more than my main job.”

Ye Tian was shocked.

"Old man, is it really so profitable to grow flowers?"

"I knew your boy would have this expression. But compared to raising fish, I still have some experience in raising flowers. If you want to learn, you can give it a try."

"What else are you trying to do? Arrangements must be made. With the old man in charge, what should I be afraid of? I have to raise cockroaches and fish on both sides. Flowers are just the way to go."

Ye Tian's face was filled with joy, and he suddenly realized that there were many ways to make money in this world, but he just didn't discover it.

Of course, Ye Tiangan's thought was also based on his possession of Gu skills and the ability to evolve insects.

Just like today's cockroaches, they can always guard plant seedlings to avoid insect damage.Then there are earthworms, which also care for plants from the ground up.

Wu Gengbiao's example told him that if you want to make a lot of money, if you see an opportunity, you can't let it go.

Excitedly, Ye Tian took advantage of the old man's time to select orchids, and Ye Tian followed him to study carefully.

But as the old man said, this orchid is really not something ordinary people can play with. Each of the orchid seedlings that the old man likes costs as little as ten or twenty thousand, and as much as forty or fifty thousand.

The astonishing price directly extinguished half of Ye Tian's desire to make money.

I only have a little money in my hand. I gave Zhang Liang 10 yuan before. During this period, I also spent tens of thousands on various things.Now there are only about [-] left, and if you want to buy seedlings, you can only buy two or three plants at best.

"Old man, if these seedlings of yours mature, how much can they sell for?"

With a hint of entanglement, Ye Tian couldn't help but ask.

"These? If you raise them well, it will probably grow three to five times in a year and a half. If you want to raise Xiaoye, you can take this time to learn some experience from me first, otherwise this seedling will be harmful to you. It’s definitely a bit expensive.”

"Three to five times is not bad, so isn't there a cheaper version of this seedling?"

"It's cheap but not good, little guy!"

The old man laughed.

The shop owner on the side listened to the conversation between the two, but seemed to remember something: "Little brother, if you want to buy good seedlings but don't have enough money, why not try the activities in our store?"

"what activity?"

"Seed blind box!"

Hearing the word blind box, Ye Tian suddenly became interested.

"Boss, please elaborate."

"Our flower shop has collected a large number of orchid seeds of various styles this time and sold them in blind boxes for 100 yuan each. Whether the seeds will survive after the customer buys them back and what varieties they will grow all depends on luck."

"100 yuan a pill? What if all of them are killed?"

Ye Tian hesitated.

"That's also luck, but if we dare to sell orchid seeds at this price, we are not trying to trick people. After all, our big brother's shop is opened here. Little brother, you know."

"Then, I want to buy more, can I choose?"

"This is fine, the seeds are pretty much the same anyway."

The boss thought for a moment and nodded.Turn around and go get the seeds for Ye Tian.

Ye Tian was slightly happy.He quickly pulled the old man and followed him.

If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, wouldn't it be a waste if the master does not use it?

"Xiaoye, you have to think clearly. Planting from seeds depends almost entirely on luck. Even the old man, I am not completely sure that the cultivation will be successful."

The old man seemed to know that Ye Tian couldn't afford much money to buy seedlings directly, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"It's okay, I just want to try it. The old man can help me look at some seeds."

The voice fell.

The boss also came out with a box in his arms and placed it in front of the two of them.

Ye Tian took a look and frowned slightly.

Just like the boss said, in Ye Tian's opinion, these seeds all look the same.

However, the old man's eyes lit up slightly after seeing these seeds.

Pick up one of them.

"This is Golden Orchid?"

"The old man has a keen eye. There are indeed golden orchid seeds in it, but I don't know whether they are."

The old man nodded calmly.

Start choosing carefully.

After a long while.

He just picked out ten and put them on the table.

"That's all!"

Ye Tian nodded. From the old man's serious look just now, he knew that the one he could like was definitely good.

At least I and my boss watched it for a long time, both looking confused. They had no idea how the old man chose the seeds.

So I paid quickly.

The two men left the flower and bird market carrying large and small bags.

It wasn't until he got into the car that the old man couldn't help but speak out.

"Xiaoye, you're lucky."

"What good luck?"

Ye Tian didn't understand.

"The blind box you just had actually contained ten top-quality orchid seeds."
