Chapter 317 Future Planning, High-end Ornamental Fish
Tiannan City was called Nantai in ancient times. Because there are legends that floods occurred frequently in ancient times, and a colorful sacred cow came to the world to control the floods, it was also called the Cow City.
Why is it the sacred cow that controls the water, not the dragon, turtle, phoenix and the like?
This also has historical origins.
Because from ancient times to the present, the cattle here in Tiannan have a great reputation.
This cow is not only cattle, but also buffalo.
But in terms of name, scalpers are slightly more famous, and the local yellow beef in this city is also famous.
“It’s a pity that in a few years, local scalpers will be impacted by foreign beef cattle and gradually decline. It will even be difficult to find a real Tiannan scalper.”
Sitting outside the breakfast shop in the Flower, Bird, Insect and Fish Market, Chen Ling looked up at the scalper images and introductions on the billboard and said with some emotion.
Local yellow beef is tender and fragrant, especially the freshly grown yellow cattle raised in the countryside. After slaughter, it is stewed in a large pot without adding any seasonings. Just sprinkle some salt.
The beef is so delicious after it comes out of the pot that it really makes people want to swallow it.
Unfortunately, the disadvantage is that the local scalpers are small.
An adult cow raised for two or three years only weighs four to five hundred pounds.
What about imported beef cattle?
It can grow up to 800 pounds in one year.
But everyone doesn’t know the difference. They only know that the price of beef is the same.
Cattle farmers will naturally choose beef cattle that grow meat quickly and with a lot of meat.
The money you get from raising one beef cow in one year is equal to the money you get from raising two local cattle in two or three years.
Of course everyone likes beef cattle that sell for more money.
As for whether the meat is delicious or not, no one thinks about it.
This is the same as the relationship between local black native pigs and those foreign pigs.
After foreign pigs came in, no one was willing to raise native pigs.
"Please pay attention in the future. There are people who specialize in breeding black native pigs in later generations, but the local cattle have never seen improvement."
Chen Ling drank the beef offal soup and secretly remembered this in his mind thing.
Even when people in later generations pay attention to food quality, the price of local yellow beef cannot increase. This is a drawback.
I will buy two cows next year and optimize several rounds of breeding, which should solve the problem of slow meat growth.
He had originally planned to buy a few animals and raise them when his children could run away.
Each person has his own preferences. He had liked this stuff since he was a child.
Back then I was thinking about stealing the horse from the cavalry team every day.
When you come to the city, the first thing you do is visit the flower, bird, insect, and fish market.
...
"Old man, how much does your budgie cost?"
"Five yuan a pair."
"Do you want to sell one?"
“Well, I’ll sell one for three yuan each.”
"Then your parrots are quite expensive."
In front of a stall selling birds, Chen Ling leaned over and looked at dozens of budgerigars flying around in a rectangular iron cage, with their wings flapping. said.
When selling birds these days, they don’t put them in pairs and put them in cages.
Of course there is a cage next to it.
Buy only if you need a cage.
Most people don't need one, and many people can make birdcages themselves.
I bought a bird, caught it and went home.
When Chen Ling bought a bird net last year, he saw parrots selling in Wangba City, and the ordinary ones only cost one yuan each.
The good-looking ones with long tails only cost three yuan a pair.
In the city it is two yuan more expensive.
But it's only two yuan more expensive. Seeing that there were many kinds of parrots in this man's stall, Chen Ling said: "Then you can catch me a pair of parrots of each kind. It's cheaper for me."
"Do you want a pair of these ten yuan?"
The old man asked, pointing to the cockatiel's cage.
“Yes, can it be cheap?”
“Can it be cheap?”
This is considered a big customer, so naturally we can't just drive him away.
The stall owner nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I will pick out beautiful and fancy ones for you, and I will get them all for you, both male and female."
Actually, parrots are big. Some species are similar to pheasants. The male ones are pretty and showy, while the female ones are slightly inferior.
“Do you want a cage?”
“No cage.”
Since there was no need for a cage, the old man put all the parrots into small net bags for Chen Ling.
This net bag is made of the same material as the net bird's net. There are these things at bird stalls.
After the parrot was installed, Chen Ling picked up the net bag and continued shopping.
This parrot was bought for Wang Susu and her son to play with.
Of course, when Dongtian breeds them in the future, they can also be sold as pets and high-end ornamental birds.
You don’t get discouraged by playing with things, and you can still make money to support your family. This is the best result.
Chen Ling continued to shop and asked people about which pets were more expensive and popular these days.
The answers obtained varied.
But most people have the same view.
One is for ornamental fish and the other is for dogs.
It’s easy to say that Chen Ling knows more about this person.
Now the dog.
From this time in the mid-to-late 1990s to around 2008, most of the popular dogs in China were foreign dogs.
One is the pug and the poodle. The poodle is white with long hair, small, with short legs, like a little lion.
The other type is large dogs like German Shepherds, which are very popular among the rich.
At this time, if you see a family raising a German Shepherd in the countryside, then this person must be either rich or noble.
Like Huangni Town and Bastard City, there are factories and mines in these two places, and there are many people raising such big dogs.
Even many police dogs and military dogs are German shepherds.
“It’s dogs now, and cats in a few years. Regardless of whether you keep dogs or cats, some foreign breeds are very popular...”
This is a fact. After all, the domestic breeds are not good-looking. It is understandable that everyone likes to keep cute pets.
But think of exotic pet cats and pet dogs, which have occupied the pet world for 20 to 30 years.
In the end, native cats and dogs abandoned their worn-out shoes, and many rural people began to raise teddy dogs and golden retrievers.
Even many police dogs and military dogs are foreign breeds, such as horse dogs and East German dogs. There is only one green dog that is comparable in China, which is Wolf Green.
But it’s just a place to stand.
When thinking of this, Chen Ling felt that he should do something next.
When you have time, you still need to select and breed local cats and dogs.
Grow some of our domestic pets.
In addition to enjoying life leisurely, start from what you like and do something trivial but meaningful.
When the time comes, let’s also export pets, and let smart and loyal Chinese dogs and pastoral cats with full hunting skills go global, wouldn’t it?
It should be feasible.
Bees, scalpers, cats and dogs, you have to do a lot.
This is not urgent, nor can it be urgent. Just do it slowly in the future.
Of course, for him, it’s not a big deal, and he doesn’t feel any pressure. He can get things done just by having fun.
Besides these, there are fish.
But Chen Ling didn't understand fish.
Lian’s understanding of fighting fish and Qinling fine salmon was only told by Feng Yi, and he finally understood how precious these things are.
But these two types of fish are not mainstream and are not well known to everyone.
He wants to know the current market situation of ornamental fish, so he still needs to go around and ask about prices.
The flower, bird, insect, and fish market here is not far from the train station, so it is not large in scale.
There are no ornamental fish that are too high-end.
Chen Ling simply walked around and saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't stay any longer. He went to the public toilet to put the parrot in the cave, and then went to find the next place.
There are many dog markets, livestock markets, flower, bird, insect, and fish markets in Tiannan City. The products here are not complete, and there are bigger markets than this one.
Getting on the rickety bus, Chen Ling crossed most of the city. After going around several times, he found a place selling high-end ornamental fish.
As soon as I asked about the price, I felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Good guy, a "lion head" goldfish can be sold for tens to hundreds of dollars.
Koi is the brightest star among goldfish and ornamental fish. In good condition, the price is generally a few hundred yuan, and some even cost thousands.
Based on this price, Chen Ling felt that he didn’t need to do anything else and could make a fortune just by raising fish in the cave.
“Come on, I don’t think there is any need to sell ginseng in this situation. With this price, I can easily save a car next year just by selling fish.”

PS:
I haven't had a holiday yet. I have been busy with work these two days. It is the busiest time before the beginning of the month. With the National Day, I am even more stressed out.
The number of recent updates has not increased, and it took two days to get back to the normal number of updates.
I will continue to make up the word count when the time comes, and I am very sorry for affecting everyone’s reading experience.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy holiday, relax and have fun during the holidays.
