At present, the Qiyuan Aquarium can be said to be poor and useless, with nothing but an empty room, but it doesn’t matter, Karl has already shipped a batch of aquarium equipment from Germany, and there will be more in the future. As for the aquarium, buy a batch of ordinary ones locally, and then customize a few oversized ones, the kind that people will be shocked when they enter the store.
Zhang Zian was very impressed with the giant aquarium in Carl's aquarium that could be used as a screen. Carl kept a European white sturgeon in it, and he planned to order a similar one.
Pushing the door open, he took a look at the first floor of the store. Fortunately, after taking down the shoe store, the water and electricity renovation was carried out during the renovation, especially a large number of sockets were placed on the wall for emergencies.
Marine life is sensitive to temperature and needs to be either heated or cooled, and aquarium equipment basically requires electricity, and it would be ugly to have a lot of power strips in the store.
And lights.
Marine life, including coral, requires lights of different intensities and colors, not only to provide light, but also to enhance the atmosphere, so that customers will fall in love with these beautiful creatures at a glance.
He walked around the first floor seemingly inadvertently, silently imagining the location of the aquariums in his mind, and trying to use the space as much as possible.
When he reached the stairs, he strolled up to the second floor.
A small part of the second floor is used as the delivery room for Abyssinian cats, but Abyssinian cats do not give birth all year round, so the delivery room is empty most of the time. The other spaces are also temporarily vacant like the first floor.
He gently pushed open the door of a delivery room nearby, and the female cat raised her head vigilantly, but she recognized him when she saw him, and immediately lay down relaxed and licked the fur of the kittens in her arms one by one.
In the past few days after leaving Binhai City, the kittens have opened their eyes, and they look much better than when they were just born. They are curiously looking at this new and strange world, and huddle in the female cat's arms with milky voices, looking for the best feeding position.
Both female cats live in the delivery room these days to avoid being disturbed by customers who come and go. Due to the small range of activities, the food they eat is nutritious. Every day, four medium-sized fresh crucian carps make soup. At night, they also open a can of cat food for them as supper. As a result, they have become fatter than before.
But as long as the kittens grow up a bit, the female cats can go back to the pet store, continue to live a life of jumping up and down every day, and will soon regain their slim and vigorous body.
The little milk cats have just opened their eyes, but not fully opened. Their eyes are not much bigger than soybeans, and their bodies are about the size of a mobile phone. When they are full, they huddle together like a few balls of hair and play with each other. At this time, you can see the deciduous teeth in their mouths that are as small as rice grains.
When they were just born, their coats were very dark, but as they grew up, the coat colors of different parts of their bodies also changed in different shades. The lighter it is, especially the slightly yellowish milky white under the neck, like wearing a napkin before eating.
Most of the kittens are not very good at running at this time, just wriggling and crawling around the female cat, but the kitten that was booked has been able to waddle and run, but still falls from time to time, but gets up again immediately , like an explorer full of adventurous spirits.
Zhang Zian checked the situation in another delivery room, and there was nothing unusual.
He turned down the power of the electric blanket under the cat's kennel a little, and the spring in Binhai City is coming.
There was a small book hanging on the wall of each delivery room, and he opened it to look. It contained the weight records of the kittens since they were born, and Lu Yiyun recorded them for him when he was not in Binhai City.
A rough look at the data shows that the weight of kittens increases by more than 10 grams every day, sometimes more, sometimes less. After all, whether defecating or not has a great impact on weight, but on average on a weekly basis, it is roughly in this way.
Steady weight gain is a sign of good health.
He also picked up each kitten one by one, put their weight data on the kitchen scale, and then marked the date and filled in the bottom of the form.
Every time a cat was weighed, the female cat took the initiative to take them back to the cat's nest without him sending them back.
Female cats in this period always like to keep themselves and their kittens in a dark and dark place, but for their health, they should be exposed to the sun more, so as to supplement vitamin D.
So he opened the curtains, letting the morning sun slant in, and just fell on the female cat and the kittens, so that the double or triple color bands that are characteristic of the Abyssinian cat's hair were displayed at a glance.
bang.
There was the sound of opening and closing the store door downstairs.
"Master! Here we come! Your courier has arrived!"
It should be Wang Gan and Li Kun who brought the courier over.
The kitten and the female cat were fine here, so Zhang Zian closed the door of the delivery room and went downstairs.
Li Kun held the door open, while Wang Gan moved things into the store one after another. Some of the packing boxes were written in German, and some were written in English.
"Master, you asked us to sort them out before moving them here, but we don't know what these things are!" Li Kun said with a bitter face.
Both Wang Qian and Li Kun's family and relatives have cats and dogs, and they are very familiar with how to take care of cats and dogs.
Their relatives also have fish farming, but most of them are freshwater fish, and they are raised extensively. For example, they build a fish pond with concrete and red bricks outdoors, and then put a few koi or grass goldfish in it. There is basically no need to worry about five other than feeding. Bring the fish indoors in winter, and put them outdoors in the other three seasons.
Some big-hearted people keep their fish outside even in winter. Grass gold and koi are notoriously hardy and easy to raise. If the water freezes, they may not necessarily freeze to death.
A jingle has been circulating since the Qing Dynasty, which vividly depicts the life of the old Beijing courtyard house, ceiling fish tank, pomegranate tree, Mr. Fat Dog and Fat Girl.
In just two sentences, six nouns were mentioned, two of which were related to pets!
In these two sentences, there are only two adjectives and no verbs, but it seems that a picture of a peaceful summer life is unfolding in front of my eyes, which makes people feel leisurely and fascinated.
Old Beijingers like to raise goldfish in large fish tanks in courtyard houses, and those with a higher style will also plant lotus, water lilies, aquatic plants and other plants in the fish tanks.
In the south of the Yangtze River, you can pick lotus, lotus leaves and He Tiantian.
Fish play among the lotus leaves.
Yuxilian leaf is east, Yuxilian leaf is west, Yuxilian leaf is south, Yuxilian leaf is north.
Even if you don’t have to go to the south of the Yangtze River, or even leave the courtyard, you can enjoy the coolness under the canopy while shaking the cattail fan, watching the beautiful scenery of fish playing among the lotus leaves and smiling slightly.
