Xianyuan Farm

I have been staying in Honghu Village for a long time and have not left. Gu Hongyu couldn't help thinking when he saw the bustling aquatic market around him.

Hongze has the largest aquatic product trading market in China, and the Hongze Lake Aquatic Product Wholesale Market is mainly for display and trading, integrating exhibitions, business negotiations, warehousing and distribution, cold storage, e-commerce, evaluation, testing, processing, catering and entertainment, and commercial residences. It is a modern, multifunctional large-scale aquatic distribution base.

The reason why Gu Hongyu came here was that he was picked up by his two cousins.

This time, the two cousins ​​unanimously set their goal here when buying fish fry in Honghu. When they were running around for fish fry in the early stage, they heard many people talking about this place, saying that Hongze Lake Aquatic Product Market has a complete range of aquatic products, not to mention all kinds of rare and precious fish fry.

Speaking of this, it is convenient for Gu Hongyu and his friends to come here, because Hongze is just the only way for greenhouse vegetables to be transported to Xiangjiang, which means that it takes most of the day to reach the destination, but when they arrived at the end of the land, the three brothers were amazed by the scale of this aquatic market.

In fact, the formal aquatic market only occupies a few hundred acres, but because of the popularity of the aquatic market, many simple houses are everywhere around the market, which are also engaged in the sale of aquatic products and agricultural products.

Gu Hongyu took his two cousins ​​to find someone to find out the specific location of the fish fry sales and went straight to the destination.

They passed many magnificent shops, where there were marine fish, freshwater fish, fresh, frozen... all kinds of aquatic products were everywhere, and the three people were dazzled and overwhelmed.

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Hongyu had an idea in his mind. This time, they mainly purchased sturgeon, Yellow River knife fish, and Huangyu fry to take back. Yellow River carp already existed in the Red Lake, and Gu Hongyu took on the responsibility of the fry alone. Since he decided to breed these fish species, why not investigate the price of adult fish in the market.

"Big brother, second brother. Why don't we go around the market this afternoon to see the price trend of adult fish, and then go to the fish fry market tomorrow morning to buy the fry and take them back." Gu Hongyu suggested.

The eldest and second cousins ​​had no objection, and the second cousin immediately replied: "Okay, we can just go around this largest aquatic product market in China to learn more. If the fish in Red Lake grow up in the future, won't we have to find a market for them? Let's just check it out now!"

It's not like a thief is checking out the market. Gu Hongyu was amused by his second cousin's description.

Besides, will the fish produced in Red Lake still have to worry about the market in the future? First, we will supply the needs of tourists in several villages around Red Lake, and then there is Boss Li who is engaged in high-end aquatic products business in the provincial capital. Gu Hongyu is still wondering if there are enough lake fish produced in Red Lake.

Thinking of the fishing after the New Year, he kept complaining about the fact that he didn't sell several hundred kilograms of lake fish to Boss Li for a long time. He also helped a lot in the aquaculture of Honghu this time. He even found connections to buy fishing nets. He also made a lot of efforts in the layout and planning of Honghu aquaculture. In short, he was probably the happiest person to raise fish in Honghu this time besides Gu Hongyu. He was quite confident in the quality of the lake fish raised by Gu Hongyu, because the fish Gu Hongyu sold to him before the New Year made him a lot of money. That's an ironclad fact!

Gu Hongyu asked about the location of high-end aquatic products again and changed his route. Soon after, he came to a large street with shops on both sides decorated in a more luxurious style. If it wasn't said in advance that this was a shop selling aquatic products, no one would have thought it.

In high-end aquatic product shops, there are generally two types of fish, one is ornamental fish, and the other is edible fish with a relatively high price.

Walking into a seafood store at the corner of the street, the various fish in the glass tanks that looked very pleasing to the eye outside the store were swimming in fish tanks filled with oxygen tubes. There were large glass water cabinets next to each other in the store.

Seeing Gu Hongyu and his friends enter the store, a girl came from the back of the store. She said sweetly, "What kind of fish are you going to buy, for viewing or eating?"

This is a wholesale market for seafood. However, people who can come to the high-end seafood street are generally hotel buyers or fans of ornamental fish. People who come here at other times are not as lively as other places, but the beauties in the store are well-mannered and ask questions in a very polite manner.

"Ah..."

"Well..."

Facing this situation, the two simple cousins ​​looked at Gu Hongyu. They were ordinary migrant workers before. They can't say that they have never been to such high-end and classy places, but even if they have been there, they can count the number of times on one hand.

And most importantly, they came here just to find out the market price of high-end fish, but they had no intention of buying fish with peace of mind. Gu Hongyu understood this kind of question very well, and it seemed that he had to train them.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to the two cousins ​​at this time. Facing the beautiful girl, Gu Hongyu said lightly: "This time we are mainly here for high-end aquatic products. As for those precious ornamental fish, we are not interested for the time being."

"Oh, in this case, please follow me." The girl, who was obviously holding back her smile, turned around quickly. From the twitching movement of her back, it was obvious that she turned her back and couldn't help laughing.

Under her leadership, several people quickly came to the area of ​​precious edible fish. After walking around, Gu Hongyu found that this aquatic product store was really not small. He secretly estimated that it was at least 300 square meters in size. The owner of such a large store in this largest aquatic product market in the country must be very powerful.

The high-end aquatic product area is divided into several areas, and the freshwater, seawater, amphibians, shrimps and crabs are very detailed.

Gu Hongyu and his friends mainly went to the freshwater aquatic product area. There are many aquatic products of this type. Looking at the fiberglass partition, there are at least dozens of species, but the number of each type of fish in the glass fish tank is not large. Gu Hongyu guessed that if a large number of purchases were made, this store might contact the breeder to deliver the goods, and the fish in the fish tank would be used as samples.

After a rough look, Gu Hongyu found that he didn't recognize many of the fish in the fish tank, but fortunately, the edge of each corner of the fish tank was marked with the name of the fish and the introduction of their origin, so in this case, Gu Hongyu didn't have to ask about each type.

In a small room, the freshwater fish alone basically covers all the freshwater fish in China from north to south, from cold water freshwater fish to non-cold water freshwater fish.

Such as bream, triangular bream, red-eyed trout, etc., which mainly feed on water plants; others such as flower ear fish, Da's snake, silver carp, striped fish, club flower fish, yellow eel, white eel, flower loach, loach, catfish, and common ferocious fish such as black snakehead, mandarin fish, and bighead carp; in addition, there are mild carnivorous fish such as red carp, Mongolian red carp, and black carp.

In addition, Gu Hongyu also saw some taimen, fine-scaled fish, Ussuri whitefish, Arctic grayling, sturgeon, Da's sturgeon, pike, and migratory salmon swimming in the fish tank. In addition, there are also endemic species in the north such as Asian smelt, northern loach, Heilongjiang smelt, and variegated smelt.

"Wow, these are red-eyed trout, redfin bream... and shad. These are shad!" At this time, the second cousin couldn't help shouting softly.

The three brothers were observing various rare and honorable fish in three directions. Hearing the second cousin's shout, the eldest cousin said very dissatisfiedly: "What are you yelling about? I still have dace, lishan fish, four-bearded plate, straight-mouthed dace, Tang fish, and South China carp. Dace, lishan fish, four-bearded plate, straight-mouthed dace, Tang fish, and South China carp. Have you seen dace, lishan fish, four-bearded plate, straight-mouthed dace, Tang fish, and South China carp? You haven't even heard of them!"

The second cousin didn't say anything anymore. He stared blankly at the various fish in the fish tank and had sunk into the world of various fish.

Gu Hongyu ignored the arguments of his first and second cousins. He looked at various genera such as wild dace, Dongpo carp, dace, flatfin loach, sand loach, exostomidae, schizothorax, naked schizothorax, and Ba loach. This time, he really broadened his horizons. There are so many varieties of freshwater fish in our country, and many of them are expensive.

Finally, the third and second brothers took turns to watch those fish that they had never seen before. The beautiful girl was not impatient, because she always saw customers surprised by the fish in the store a few times a year. She seemed very accomplished.

After looking at all the fish in the freshwater area, the brothers looked at each other and laughed. It seemed that everyone had gained a lot.

But at this time, the beautiful girl spoke: "What kind of fish are you interested in after looking at those freshwater fish? As long as you need it, the fish species you order can be picked up on the same day. A small part may need to wait for a few days."

There are so many fish that Gu Hongyu has never heard of. Now even after seeing them, he doesn't feel that there are any other ideas. Because some of the fish here are not artificially raised at a glance, because some fish are very sensitive to the environment, temperature, and climate requirements for growth, and they generally cannot be kept alive in another place. Those fish are transported from their place of origin, and the fish tanks are also trying their best to simulate the natural environment of those fish, and they are constantly oxygenated, otherwise these fish would have been dead.

However, the only feature is that these fish are very expensive. Gu Hongyu found that the fish tanks are specially equipped with refrigeration or other functional equipment. The lowest price of fish in the fish tanks is more than 500 yuan per catty, and the most expensive fish is more than 3,000 yuan. This is not called eating fish, this is simply eating money!

But Gu Hongyu's mentality was balanced immediately. Because many tourists came to Honghu Village to buy Gu Hongyu's fruits and vegetables, as well as beef, mutton, and white wine. Which one is cheaper, at this time Gu Hongyu also deeply felt the mood of the tourists.

"Little sister, are these all the freshwater fish?" Gu Hongyu asked casually. If the pretty girl said there were no more, Gu Hongyu would have planned to find an excuse to slip away.

However, the girl thought about it and suddenly slapped her head: "We have another kind of freshwater fish in our store, but the fish now seems to be sick, so it is not put together with these fish. If you need it, I can let you take a look. Alas, it would be a pity if it died!"

"Isn't it just a fish? There is no need to be so depressed if a fish that costs more than 3,000 yuan per pound dies outside?" The second cousin slowly adapted to the environment and began to talk to the girl.

"You don't understand, forget it, I'll take you to see it and let you open your eyes." The girl looked like you don't understand.

When she said this, Gu Hongyu and his friends were really curious, and immediately followed the girl into a smaller room. As soon as they entered here, Gu Hongyu and his two cousins ​​could clearly feel that the temperature had dropped by several degrees.

"What kind of fish is this? Why is it staying in such an environment?" the second cousin muttered.

But everyone soon heard the girl's words: "Hey, in that fish tank is the most expensive freshwater fish in our store, rainbow trout!"

"Rainbow trout? What kind of fish is this?" the second cousin asked casually.

"You don't even know rainbow trout?" The beautiful girl was surprised and immediately said: "Forget it, let me give you some popular science!"

"Rainbow trout, salmonidae, is a rare fish. It is named because of the rainbow-like pigment bands on the sides of its body. It is native to rivers, lakes and waters along the Pacific coast of North America. After artificial domestication and breeding, it has become one of the main freshwater farmed fish in the world and is known as the "king of freshwater fish". I heard from the boss that this rainbow trout is still wild. It can't adapt to the environment in the store because of this. It looks sick and is about to die." The girl said in a bad mood.

Gu Hongyu looked at the rainbow trout in the fish tank. This fish probably weighed more than ten kilograms. Now it was not spirited at all in the tank. The whole body of the fish floated flat on the water surface. Even when seeing someone approaching, it did not dodge at all. It was very different from a healthy fish. It looked like it was not far from death.

"This fish actually doesn't look special. It doesn't look as strange as some fish outside." The second cousin said unreasonably.

"What do you know? This fish was bought from abroad and it was wild. The boss spent tens of thousands of yuan for one fish. Even if it is successfully bred in China now, the price of this fish is still dozens of yuan per kilogram, and the yield is extremely high. Originally, this fish was used as a brood fish. Don't you think it's a pity to die?"

Gu Hongyu was moved after hearing what the girl said. Didn't he have space spring water? If he got some space spring water for this rainbow trout to eat, it should be able to save it. This is a fish that can be used as a brood fish. It would be a great profit to buy it back.

"Girl, are you selling this fish?" Gu Hongyu said calmly.

"You want to buy it?" The girl was surprised. This fish was about to die. The boss even asked an expert to take a look. The expert said it was too late to save it. Could it be that these guys were planning to eat it before it died?

The girl made malicious guesses about Gu Hongyu, but after asking the boss, the fish was sold to Gu Hongyu and his friends at the usual price of rainbow trout. This time, Gu Hongyu and his friends came out and found a treasure.
