At Laoyu Repair Shop, Yu You made two orders in one morning, earning 280 yuan.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a gust of wind chimes rang, and three old men walked in one after another. They all looked ordinary in their clothes, but their temperament was quite special.
"Three old gentlemen, do you need anything repaired?" Yu You asked.
The three of them paid no attention to the electrical appliances and parts on the counter, but looked at the ornamental fish in the aquarium with great interest.
"This tiger butterfly is so beautiful."
"It's such a big fish, it's 70 centimeters at least."
"There are actually dog heads? Seawater dog heads are not common in the market, and they look so straight."
"These landscapings are also very particular. They must have been made by experts."
"Strange, why are they all seawater fish and no freshwater fish?"
An old man with all white hair looked up at Yu You: "Little boss, why are there no freshwater fish for sale in your store?"
Yu You: "I run an electrical appliance repair shop..."
The expressions of the three old men were frozen for a moment, and then one of the old men in a vest said sadly: "What kind of electrical repair shop do you open? It's a waste of money. Isn't it good to concentrate on raising fish?!"
"That's right." The tall and thin old man finally agreed, "The quality of your fish alone is enough to make you famous in the Flower, Bird and Fish Market, and it won't cause us to discover this store today."
Yu You: "..." I'm so sorry that you missed it.
"Little boss." The white-haired old man came to the counter, "Do you raise all the ornamental fish in your home?"
Yu You nodded: "Yes."
"Since you don't open an aquarium shop, why do you raise so many ornamental fish?" Taking care of these ornamental fish requires a lot of money and a lot of energy. If it weren't for true love, most people wouldn't be able to have this patience.
Yu You smiled and said, "I like raising fish."
"That's definitely not an ordinary liking." The white-haired old man looked at her meaningfully.
"Little boss, do you know how to raise freshwater fish? For example, koi and red dragon." The old man in the vest came over and asked.
"I know a little bit, but I'm not particularly good at it." Goldfish, koi, and red dragon are the three most popular Feng Shui fish in the ornamental fish market. It is possible for a Feng Shui fish with excellent appearance to sell for hundreds of thousands. A few years ago, a blood-red dragon was sold for a sky-high price of more than 6 million yuan, causing a sensation in the entire ornamental fish market.
Compared with the symbolic Feng Shui fish, the price of ordinary ornamental fish is relatively affordable.
Yuyou's ability also has a certain amplifying effect on freshwater fish, but it's just not as obvious as that on seawater fish.
"I have a purple and red dragon. It has lost its appetite recently and its color has become very dull. I went to the veterinarian and saw it, but it still looks dull. I wonder if there is anything you can do?"
The Purple Red Dragon is considered a relatively expensive variety among red dragons, with the lowest price being around 300,000. This old man's appearance is purple and red, and his family must be quite wealthy.
"It's difficult to make a judgment without seeing the real thing." Yu You replied cogently.
"Then let's make an appointment. Please come to my house and have a look." The old man was quite anxious.
Yu You thought for a while, and she would definitely not have gone there before, but now, she needs to find someone to help with the demolition. Judging from the temperament of these three old people, it seems that they are not ordinary people. Maybe they can provide her with some useful suggestions.
At this time, Yu You still didn't know what kind of people they were, with hands and eyes that could reach the sky.
"Okay, how about the day after tomorrow?" Yu You asked.
"No problem, I'll send someone to pick you up at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow." Regardless of whether it works or not, the old man will let her give it a try.
"Little boss, how do you sell this bitch of yours?" The tall, thin old man interjected after seeing them finish talking.
"Not for sale." Yu You looked at him: It's a pity that you two are not destined. This dog-head only likes beautiful women.
"I'll pay 3,000!"
"I won't sell it for 30,000 yuan."
The tall, thin old man had no choice but to give up.
After the three people left, someone immediately secretly investigated the general situation of the old fish repair shop and Yu You.
According to the information, Laoyu Repair Shop has been in business for more than thirty years. The original owner and his wife died in an accident. The adopted daughter Yu You gave up the postgraduate entrance examination and came back to inherit the shop. In the following years, she maintained a repair shop and raised fish at the same time. Her fish were all old, weak, sick and disabled purchased from other aquarium shops at low prices. After her treatment, most of them recovered to health.
"Are they all sick fish?" The three old men were quite surprised. Looking at those ornamental fish, how could there be any sign of illness? They are obviously all fish species of excellent quality. It can be seen that the girl's fish farming skills are indeed extraordinary.
Two days later, Yu You got into the car sent by the old man and headed to his residence.
This old man's surname is "Xie" and he lives in the sea-viewing area of Yaoshan, known as the "Feng Shui Treasure Land".
Yu You didn't pay much attention to Feng Shui, but he could guess that the housing prices here were expensive.
The car winds up the mountain and slowly drives into a garden-style villa. The villa doesn't look out of the ordinary, but it is quiet, elegant, and quite ancient.
A servant opened the car door and led Yu You into the villa.
Along the gravel road, you pass a courtyard with a small pond in which a group of colorful koi carps are kept.
Entering the hall, Yu You immediately saw the huge fish tank on the right. The fish tank was beautifully shaped and contained five arowanas. There are three red dragons and two gold dragons, each of which is in very good condition.
"Little boss, you're here." Mr. Xie's laughter came from the side.
Yu You turned his head and found that the three old people he had met that day were all there, and he also saw an acquaintance - Lu Jingyi. Seeing him appear here, she suddenly understood why these three old people suddenly visited her repair shop.
"Hello, three old gentlemen." Yu You greeted politely.
Mr. Xie said gently: "Don't be formal, sit wherever you want."
"Let's take a look at the arowana first." Yu You walked slowly to the fish tank, and several others followed.
Mr. Xie asked with a little pride: "What do you think of my arowana?"
"Not bad." Both the breeding environment and the feeding methods are the best.
"Then please help me find out what happened to that purple and red dragon?" Mr. Xie said, but did not point out which one it was. The three red dragons in the tank are all purple-red, but the colors are different shades.
Yu You raised his hand to the water and asked, "Do you mind?"
"It's up to you." Mr. Xie let her do as she pleased.
Yu You then put his finger into the water, slid it gently, and made a few ripples. As if being summoned, the five arowanas came closer and circled and swam under her fingers.
This skill instantly stunned everyone present.
Tens of seconds later, Yu You withdrew his hand and said, "Mr. Xie, these arowanas are very healthy."
Mr. Xie remained calm: "You mean, they are all fine?"
"I'm just saying, they're in good health."
Mr. Xie looked at her puzzled.
"In addition to diseases, factors that affect the healthy growth of arowana include emotions." Yu You tapped the fish tank lightly, and several arowanas immediately came over, opening and closing their mouths and blowing bubbles.
"This purple and red dragon," she pointed to the red dragon in the middle, "has it been frightened in any way recently?"
"Scared?" Mr. Xie thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything that frightened him.
At this time, Mr. Wei on the side interjected: "Lao Xie, when you were changing the water in the fish tank, didn't you accidentally hit the head of this arowana with your ring finger? Think about it, has this arowana started to grow since that time?" Is there something wrong with the dragon fish?”
"Hey!" Mr. Xie slapped his forehead and said suddenly, "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. I didn't care at the time. After all, the hit wasn't heavy, so I thought it was fine. I didn't expect that the arowana would also lose its temper."
Yu Youke said: "Generally speaking, there are several reasons that cause Arowana to be frightened. One is the noise, the other is the intensity of the light, the third is too many people moving around, the fourth is that the water temperature is too different when changing the water, and the fifth is that the water temperature is too different. There are other pets at home. Sixth, if the arowana is frightened, their food intake will decrease, and they may even refuse to eat. Fortunately, you do not take medication blindly, otherwise it is likely to cause other symptoms. Counterproductive."
A flash of surprise flashed in Mr. Xie's eyes, and he had no idea how she could tell that he wasn't taking any medicine.
"So, how should we appease their emotions?" Mr. Xie asked seriously for advice, already quite convinced of Yu You's abilities.
Yu You asked: "Have you been fed today?"
"not yet."
"Can you let me feed you?"
"Of course." Mr. Xie quickly asked the servant to get the fish food.
The food of Arowana is mainly insects, frogs and small fish and shrimps. An Arowana probably spends nearly 10,000 yuan on food every year.
Yu You took the food box from the servant, which was filled with small fish and shrimps. She grabbed a small shrimp and put it into the fish tank. Five arowanas immediately swam over to fight for it.
She deliberately avoided the angry arowana and fed all the food to the other four arowanas. After a few times, the arowana finally became anxious. It changed its limp appearance and began to swim faster, fending off other arowanas aggressively. After a few minutes, it finally succeeded in "grabbing" the food and was not in a hurry to eat it. , instead biting its trophy and happily circling in a circle in the fish tank, as if to show off its majesty.
"Haha..." Mr. Xie and the others couldn't help laughing.
Yu You handed the food box to Mr. Xie and said with a smile, "It should be fine."
Mr. Xie gave her a thumbs up: "Awesome."
Several others were also convinced. The problem was solved in just a few dozen minutes, and the ease with which it was handled completely subverted their understanding of fish farming.
"Haha, no wonder Lu Jingyi specially introduced you to Lao Wei. You are indeed a master." As the saying goes, you can tell whether you have real skills by seeing the subtle things.
Mr. Xie greeted Yu You to sit down and glanced at Lu Jingyi with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie." Yu You turned to look at Lu Jingyi, who was sitting next to her. The latter had a calm face, as if the "Lu Jingyi" in Mr. Xie's mouth was not him.
"Xiaoyu, do you think there is anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"Xie Laoyang's arowana is in good health and in excellent condition. I don't have any extra suggestions in this regard."
"Speaking of appearance," Mr. Wei said, "Can you give a detailed introduction to the appearance of these arowanas?"
This question is thoughtful, and I want to know if she has any novel insights.
Yu You said slowly: "To evaluate the appearance of an arowana, we mainly look at the 'shape', 'state', 'whiskers', 'mouth', 'eyes', 'fins', 'scales' and 'color' On the other hand, Mr. Xie’s three purple arowanas have a well-proportioned body shape, a strong posture, and sharp eyes. The dragon’s whiskers are of moderate length, the fins are wide and powerful, the scales are red with purple, and they are deep and dark, and they have a kingly aura. The golden dragon is slightly inferior, in terms of size and color, it is not as good as the three red dragons. If you want to score, the three purple red dragons can be rated as 6.5 points, and the golden dragon can be rated as 5 points. "
"What? The appearance can only be rated 6.5 points?" Mr. Qiao looked surprised.
"The scales of those three red dragons are not wide enough, the scale frame is not clear enough, the layers are not distinct enough, and the color is darker, but compared to the varieties circulating on the market, they are already rare and top quality."
The three elders were silent: The little top player only has 6.5 points, what will the big top player look like? Boss, are your requirements too high? !
"Xiaoyu, can you find a better arowana?" Mr. Qiao asked eagerly.
"Sorry, I run a repair shop, not sell fish."
That heartbreaking feeling emerged in the heart of the third elder again: Although you have breeding expertise, you still have to go to the blacksmith shop to make iron. Wouldn't your conscience hurt? An arowana can be sold for tens or millions. How much can you make by repairing an electrical appliance? !
Wei Lao retreated and asked for help: "Then when we buy fish in the future, can we ask you to help us with the eyes?"
"That's no problem." As long as it doesn't delay her learning skills, everything else is easy to talk about.
