    Both father and son sneered inwardly. Originally, Meng Shuliang felt that Wei Sanjiang was not being kind in calling him here, but now it seems that he just wanted to sell this deformed arowana to himself.

    However, Meng Shuliang felt that the fish was too ugly and he really didn¡¯t like it, so of course he wouldn¡¯t buy it.  Meng Zitao, on the other hand, doesn't like this kind of deformed fish, and he doesn't want to be the one to take over, and he doesn't know how to use it as a mallet.

    So, Meng Shuliang shook his head directly: "To be honest, I really don't like this Fulong fish like you, Old Wei. It's too ugly, just like a person with a hunchback."

    "How can a high back be a hunchback? It's obviously very beautiful. Why don't you think about it?" General Wei San became a little anxious: "If you want it, I'll give you a cheaper price."

    "No, I really can't appreciate this fish."

    Meng Shuliang looked at the three generals of Wei and said with a half-smile, "And to be honest, this doesn't seem to be your style!"

    General Wei San immediately changed his expression: "Lao Meng, you are a bit of a villain and want to judge a gentleman. Is it possible that based on our friendship for many years, I have a problem with giving you a cheaper price?"

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "No problem, the key point is that I really don't want to buy this kind of arowana."

    "Okay, okay, let's forget about the dissatisfaction." General Wei's tone was a little unhappy.

    At this time, Meng Zitao said: "Uncle Wei, why do you raise so many little brocades?"

    Meng Zitao is talking about another large fish tank in which there are dozens of ornamental fish, but they are all relatively small in length, probably only about ten centimeters each, and the longest one is no more than fifteen centimeters.

    Wei Sanjiang became more energetic: "Oh, these are picked by my friend. They are all koi carp after the second selection. They are all very outstanding koi carp. Would you like to select a few to take home and raise them? Maybe they can be cultivated.  Where is our city¡¯s champion fish?¡±

    Meng Shuliang said angrily: "I told you not to fool people like this, but even the champion fish came out. If it really is a champion fish, you don't know how to raise it yourself!"

    Wei Sanjiang spread his hands and said: "But I don't raise koi, otherwise I would be reluctant to sell them! My friends put these with me for the time being, and they will be taken away in two days. Do you want to buy a few? It will be very soon.  cheap."

    "Uncle Wei, are you sure these are the koi that stood out from the second selection?" Meng Zitao asked pretending to be curious.

    "Of course." Wei Sanjiang left a way out for himself, and then added: "At least that's what my friend told me."

    Meng Zitao said: "But aren't the koi in the second selection all about 15 centimeters."

    In fact, the so-called second selection is a stage in the breeding process of koi. After all, koi is an ornamental fish. To sell it at a high price, it must look good. Therefore, the fish must be selected step by step. Generally speaking, koi fish starts with fry.  , will go through five selection processes.

    After raising the koi fry for about a month, they will grow to about 5 cm. At this time, you can select the koi fry.

    The first selection is based on the overall view. It is enough that the fry are normal and have no defects.  Observe whether the koi fry are strong and lively, whether the spine of the fish body is straight, whether there are deformities and defects in each fin, and whether the species characteristics are obvious. Based on these points, decide whether to stay or go.

    The second selection was a step further than the first.  It is necessary to choose koi fish with relatively bright colors, clear markings and distinctive species characteristics, and the key parts of the fins should be beautiful in shape, the pectoral fins and head should be symmetrical, and the eyes, snout, and tentacles should not be deformed.

    After the third selection, most of the fry have been eliminated. At this time, the basic characteristics of the koi fish are particularly obvious. The white background is extremely pure white, the edges of the red spots are clear, the black spots are evenly shaded, and the markings are symmetrical.  The proportions of each fin are appropriate, so the ones left after the three selections are better koi fish.

    After the fourth selection, there are not many koi fish left, and they are all high-quality, and then they can be sold all over the country.

    The fifth selection is to select the best of the best and take it to the competition.

    To put it simply, it¡¯s like a beauty pageant, starting from the preliminaries to the finals, and finally deciding the top ones.

    "This little bastard is full of bad ideas. Why would you ask me if you know this?"

    Wei San cursed in his stomach, and then pretended to be surprised: "Ah, is there still such a statement? I don't know much about koi, I really don't know much about it. I'll make a call to find out."

    As he spoke, he walked not far away, picked up his cell phone and made a call.

    Meng Zitao curled his lips. His hearing was already much higher than that of ordinary people. How could he not hear that there was no sound on General Wei San's cell phone? He was clearly pretending.Just a show-off.

    After a while, General Wei San came back and said apologetically: "My friend's son shipped the wrong fish. He is willing to sell it cheaper. The small one is counted as fifteen and the big one is counted as twenty. If you like it, buy it."  Just a few, they are already very cheap.¡±

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "Uncle Wei, let's not talk about it. I bought some for five yuan a piece, and I bought them all for three yuan a piece."

    General Wei San shook his head repeatedly and said no: "No, no, how can I sell it at this price? My friend has to scold me to death!"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "They are just some 'local cannons', and the price is enough."

    The earth cannon is actually a koi fish, but the koi fish that is eliminated or killed without much viewing value is known as "earth cannon" by people.

    As for why these "local cannons" are sold, it is because the elimination rate of commercial koi is very high. An 80- to 90-centimeter koi can carry up to 700,000 or 800,000 eggs, and the hatching rate is 80%.  Approximately four to five million water splashes are produced.

    When the water splash grows to 5 centimeters, nearly 60% of the fry will die during the first selection (first selection). After the first selection, only about 5% of the fry will remain (about 8,000 fry). These 8,000 fry will be able to survive after the second selection.  You can keep 500 tails. After the third selection, you can keep 30 tails. After the fourth selection, you may not be able to keep any.

    The real value in the whole process is the 500 fry of the second selection. Therefore, the profit generated by these 500 fry must be greater than the cost consumed by these one million fish, so that the fishery can continue to operate.  Do you think it would be stressful to leave 500 fish behind?

    Therefore, this is also the reason why ordinary koi fish among ornamental fish in the market can cost as little as thirty or fifty yuan a piece, as much as a hundred yuan, or even thousands of yuan.

    In order to recover as much cost as possible, it is only normal for those "cannons" that were screened out during the screening to be sold.

    Seeing that Meng Zitao actually knew about the "local cannon", General Wei San was so angry that he almost cursed his mother. You all know he is a "local cannon", so just say no directly, why are you beating around the bush?

    Therefore, General Wei stopped pretending and started bargaining directly: "There are good and bad cannons, and your price is too cheap. So, if you buy them all, it will cost you five yuan a piece, otherwise the small ones will cost eight yuan."  Yuan, the big one is ten yuan, no matter how low it is, it won¡¯t work.¡±

    This price was very acceptable to Meng Zitao, so he nodded and said, "Then I will buy them all."

    "Okay!" Wei Sanjiang's face lit up with joy.

    Meng Shuliang frowned, but didn't say anything.

    Afterwards, everyone transported the fish to Meng Zitao¡¯s parents¡¯ place. Because there were too many fish, the glass fish tank at home was too small to fit them in, so they put them in the bathtub first.

    After settling the money, Wei Sanjiang and his wife left happily.

    "I said, Xiaotao, why are you buying so many fish? You are planning to open a shop to sell fish!" Shu Ping was very dissatisfied with Meng Zitao for buying so many koi. Now that everyone is gone, she couldn't help but complain.

    "Yes, you just want to buy some koi. Why are you buying these selected ones?" Meng Shuliang was also a little confused, but he believed that his son could not do a loss-making business, and now he was waiting for his son to explain.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Of course I can't be that stupid. As for buying so much, I just want to avoid trouble. Please forgive me for keeping the rest a secret. You should know it in a few months. As for the effect, think about it.  My dragon fish."

    Meng Zitao¡¯s words surprised both the couple. Meng Shuliang said, ¡°You don¡¯t mean to say that you can grow these top-notch koi?¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I can't say whether it can become the top koi. Anyway, at worst, it should be able to sell for ten thousand yuan a piece."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Koi carp that cost ten thousand yuan are actually only ordinary varieties in the high-end koi market. The most expensive one in the world costs 20 million yuan!  Meng Zitao is fully confident that these koi can be cultivated into top varieties.

    "Some people may want to ask, why did Meng Zitao think of raising koi, and why was he sure of raising it well? Could it be that he relied on spiritual liquid?

    This is obviously impossible. The reason why he thought of raising koi carp was entirely because of Mr. Mao Hua. Mr. Mao Hua liked raising fish the most. Later, because of practicing the Nine Dragons Sutra, he raised carp. It is not difficult to guess the reason. The carp jumped  Dragon Gate, since the dragon can no longer be found, let's try raising carp.

    Of course, Mr. Mao Hua did not have the ability to turn carps into dragons, and none of the carp he raised became dragons. However, he summarized a set of experiences and methods for cultivating carp and successfully cultivated colorful carp.  Some of the top koi that are admired are much stronger.

    In addition, Mr. Mao Hua also discovered that by putting the carp he cultivated and the ink dragon jade together, through some methods, they can complement each other. Not only the carp will be more spiritual, but the quality of the ink dragon jade will also be improved.

    It¡¯s just that Mr. Mao Hua¡¯s method should be useless now, because the spiritual energy between heaven and earth needs to be transferred in the process, but Meng Zitao has spiritual liquid, maybe he can replace it?

    ??For Meng Zitao, this is an experiment that does not lose money. It is good to succeed. Even if it does not succeed, it can still raise some top-notch koi.  Don't Japanese people like koi, and they are very wealthy? For example, the Loulan, which was worth 20 million, died not long after buying it.  He was fully confident that he could get more money from the Japanese.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)After the method, the effect of complementing each other can be achieved.
