Chapter 550 Tiger and Fish
Do what you do and love what you do.
Han Ninggui is a pure and pious old man.
Now that there are no wild tigers in the mountains, they want to use Chen Ling's special skills to slowly return the tigers to nature.
This is what he has always wanted to do over the years, tracking endangered wildlife.
"In the 1980s, some people in the industry in Bei'an discovered that the number of wild tigers had dropped sharply... Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it at that time. The number of wild tigers increased from tens of thousands to thousands to hundreds, and now, The Siberian tigers are okay, but not a single South China tiger can be found in the wild..."
Han Ninggui sighed: "It's not that we so-called zoologists don't eat the fireworks of the world. We don't know that there are more wild tigers. It is easy to cause injury accidents and pose a threat to ordinary people.
The key is that in recent years, whether we are looking for animals, looking for vegetation, or looking for and photographing some native species, we have gone too far. Things are becoming more and more difficult.
This has to be a wake-up call.
Your father-in-law once told a story about the Ginseng Queen and the Platycodon Queen.
I think the truth in this story is very similar to the philosophy we uphold.
Just like how we got rid of the Four Pests back then.
Some things can be removed, but they exist for a reason and cannot be eliminated entirely. "
The bald veterinarian also said seriously: "Old Han is right, we still have to pay attention, otherwise it will be like the completely extinct thylacine, and our descendants will not even be able to see it. I can only learn about it from history books, but I don’t know what it looks like, how tall and fat it is, how many toes it has on its feet, what color its hair is, and what its name is... That’s so sad. ”
The two of them felt worried.
I think the zoo will gradually use up these animals.
In the end, it was like the thylacine. Due to various accidents, there was no suitable living and breeding environment, leaving only the last one unable to breed and completely extinct.
But after the reform, the Chinese people, who were afraid of poverty, stepped up their efforts to develop, and everything had to make way for economic construction. These endangered animals and plants were just trivial matters, and they were not taken into consideration.
Tiger is not a unique product like the giant panda, which can be used to promote diplomacy.
It is normal that it has not attracted complete attention in recent years.
Therefore, this stage needs to be done by people in the industry.
But.
Tiger is such an aggressive beast, even people in the industry often have no good way to deal with it.
Let’s just say that the South China tiger is not as powerful and powerful as the Siberian tiger.
But after all, they are tigers, and they are extremely widely distributed, causing great harm and trouble to the Chinese people.
Although they are called "South China" tigers, they were extremely numerous in the past. In addition to South China, they have populations in East China, Central China, Southwest China, and a small part of Northwest China.
It can be said that it is almost all over the country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many tiger disasters across the country. The South China tiger is the absolute protagonist. This is no joke.
"So, we still have to rely on you Fugui to help us."
Han Ninggui came prepared. After sighing, he took out a folded paper with a A brief letter requesting funding for this matter.
"I will arrange the rest. Let's simply record a news and the money will come down. I won't let you raise a tiger in vain."
Only then did Chen Ling realize that this old man had 'planned this for a long time'. Just plan it.
But this thing is also the kind of meaningful thing he is willing to do.
After being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said: "I will try my best."
......
It’s late July of the lunar calendar.
The only things left at home this year are the autumn harvest and waiting for the baby to be born.
After the autumn harvest, there is nothing else to be busy with.
In this case, it is not impossible to take time out to take the tiger back to the village for a few days every month.
Chen Ling enlightened the tiger.
He himself is still looking forward to the feeling of roaring in the mountains and forests with two tigers.
So both parties have no objections, and the matter is settled.
There are too many tourists visiting the zoo today.
Because Chen Ling slipped away from the tiger in the morning, many people are now watching in the tiger park.
It would be too eye-catching to take Ah Fu and Ah Shou out at this time.
If he dares to lead outside, others will dare to follow him into the street.
So we still can’t take the tiger out for a walk in broad daylight.
Have to wait until night.
The zoo is still too small, unlike in the mountains, where you can go everywhere.
Chen Ling doesn't want to stay here all day.
After comforting Ah Fu and Ah Shou for a while, he and Han Ninggui went out.
"Fugui, you always eat fish and crayfish every time you come here. Why don't you go to my house for dinner today? There happened to be something I forgot to tell you. Lao Feng, didn't I buy a lot from you last year? Are the ornamental fish going back?
Not long after I returned, they started to produce seeds like crazy. The tank was full of small fish.
At first, he was quite happy and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Later, more and more babies were born, and the fish tank at home could no longer contain them
He had no choice but to take out the small fish that grew up and sell them one after another.
Guess what in the end?
Lao Feng originally spent a lot of money to buy your fish, but in the end he made all the money back, and made a lot more. "
Han Ninggui shook his head with admiration on his face: "Now Lao Feng and his whole family are praising your fish. It is not only very good in appearance, but also has strong skin and is easy to feed. There are also many small fish alive, and Those little fry develop color quickly and well, so they are very easy to sell... Tsk, that guy, Lao Feng was so happy that he just bought two fish tanks and brought them over from the capital, and asked me to give them to you, saying they were gifts for you. . "
"Huh? Fish tank? ”
Chen Ling was a little surprised when he heard this, "What kind of fish tank is it?"
"One is a celadon tank from Jingdezhen, and the other is a thick glass tank. Lao Feng spent a lot of money to buy it back. The quality is very good. , they are all very beautiful, and they are kept at my house. Lao Feng asked you to take them back to raise fish when you come to the city. Your big pond does not reflect the beauty of ornamental fish, which is a pity. "
Han Ninggui smiled.
The bald veterinarian next to him was very envious when he heard this. He was envious of Chen Ling's ability as a young man, and also envied his relationship with Han Ninggui and others.
Old Feng also knows that Professor Feng Yifeng is a famous botanist who wears a mustache all year round. He likes flowers, birds, insects, and fish, especially fish.
The fish raised by Chen Ling can be praised by him.
It’s really amazing.
I thought: Could this young man be omnipotent? You can raise everything from running on the ground to swimming in water?
I don’t know if I can keep flying ones in the sky.
At this time, Erbaldy and the pigeons were still having fun everywhere and did not fly down, otherwise he would definitely be even more surprised.
"Uncle Han, I don't have room to put the glass fish tank in my house, so I can keep it in your house."
Chen Ling likes to raise fish in ancient ways, and the farm he built is also in an antique style. As for the glass fish tank, It doesn't quite match.
“Don’t say it so early, come to my house and take a look at the fish tank. Let me tell you, it is very beautiful. The glass fish tank is also beautiful, and there is landscaping inside, just like the Dragon Palace.
The little fish are coming in and out, they are very beautiful."
Han Ninggui said with a mysterious smile.
When Chen Ling heard this, his curiosity was really aroused.
Immediately asked Han Ninggui and the others to drive, and then he rode a little green horse and rushed to their house.
When I got home, I saw that the two fish tanks were indeed beautiful enough. Not to mention the extra-large celadon vat.
The glass jar is not only of good quality, but the scenery inside is really amazing.
At the bottom of the spacious fish tank, there are actually ancient buildings with carved beams and painted beams. As the mountains rise and fall, if the entire large fish tank is filled with water and the lights are turned on, the small buildings at the bottom of the fish tank will look like a dragon palace standing on the rocks on the seabed.
Chen Ling fell in love at first sight.
Such a good thing, I want it.
Professor Han’s house is so small, there is no room to put it, so it’s better to take it home yourself.
Then he found out.
Han Ninggui's living room also has a larger fish tank than before.
However, the quality is obviously not as good as the two that Feng Yi gave him. They should have been brought here by the way.
There are two red eels lying on the bottom of the fish tank. When someone goes over and taps them, they swim up from the bottom of the tank like two red ribbons, filling the fish tank. Running around, very energetic and energetic.
"Speaking of which, this fish is very expensive now. We spent a lot of money to buy your fish, and when we came back to breed it, we made all the money back, hahahaha..."
< br>Han Ninggui looked at Chen Ling with a teasing look on his face.
Then he talked about the advantages of the red eel with a serious face.
This thing is very beautiful when grown up, comparable to a red arowana, and even more beautiful than some fish in the sea.
And it is easier to feed than those expensive fish.
“This red eel has almost become popular in Bei’an. However, after cultivation, the mutated silver-white eel is not easy to feed. It is weak and sick, has weak reproductive ability, and appears to be atavistic when it gets older.”< br>
Once you return to your ancestors and become an eel again, you will not be able to keep it in the tank.
Let's cook and eat it. The ones raised in the tank are not delicious, and the meat quality is not good, so we have to throw them away. It is a huge loss.
We talked about ornamental fish for a while.
I asked about the species of native turtles in my area and inquired about the past and present life of the wheat field turtle.
Chen Ling used Han Ninggui's home phone to call Feng Yi again, chatted for a while, and made an appointment to meet again after this autumn. It was considered a happy conversation.
At the dinner table, Han Ninggui said: "I will find a special boat for you when you go back this time. Your little green horse, two tigers, and this fish tank can all be transported back in one trip."
Chen Ling was stunned for a second and nodded in agreement.
He originally thought that he would find an excuse to go back by car and ride back privately. It would be okay for Ah Fu and Ah Shou to follow him. He would put him into the cave when he was tired and release him after he had rested.
It’s nothing more than a night trip.
But think about it, after all, there are two valuable fish tanks in such a long way...
It’s better not to be willful.
After lunch, Chen Ling rode back to his residence in the city.
After not contacting her for a long time, and waiting for letters was very painful, he just wanted to have a phone call with Liang Hongyu’s family.
In fact, not only did he miss there, but the whole family there also missed him.
The old lady stopped talking.
Little Lizi also held the phone and babbling to let him tell stories, or let Chen Ling listen to her singing and reciting ancient poems.
She couldn't carry herself and peeked.
Her mother Qin Yueru would tell Chen Ling that Xiao Lizi cheated, causing her to scream and say that her mother was bad, which was very exciting.
It's strange that they never feel bored when chatting with Chen Ling, and Chen Ling doesn't realize this.
Every time he said it was over and let Chen Ling go do things, he would always continue to chat for a long time.
The conversation continued until Chen Ling's phone bill was in arrears.
That's how it is these days.
If the phone is in arrears, I can’t answer or make any calls, and long distance is very expensive.
"Come on, I was just too busy having fun. I even forgot to tell Little Lizi about taking the little tiger home. She will definitely blame me next time we meet."
Chen Lingyao Shaking his head, he closed the door and went downstairs to pay the phone bill first.
In fact, more than ten years after this year, there were also people driving cattle carts and horse-drawn carriages on the streets and roads.
In some suburban counties, villages and towns, riding bulls and going to the market on horseback are commonplace.
So Chen Ling riding a horse on the street would not be so unique.
The reason why many people admire him is that he is more outstanding than a young green horse, and he has the temperament of a traditional horse when running.
While paying the phone bill, there was an old man selling lotus seeds who knew how to deal with horses.
Tell him: "Seven greens, eight whites, and nine pear flowers, the green horse is the eighteenth transformation of a woman, and it becomes more and more beautiful... If the green horse is well raised, people's luck will be good, and the offspring will be well taken care of. ”
Chen Ling responded with a smile.
I thought that this is an ordinary green horse. It will change its coat into a white horse when it is eight years old. No one can tell what will happen to the horse that I raised in the cave.
It is even more nonsense to say that the white horse changes your luck.
He is not Uncle Liu Huang or Zhao Zilong.
After paying the phone bill, we rushed back to the provincial capital without stopping.
Inspired by Professor Feng's fish tank, he wanted to go shopping around the ancient temple street in the provincial capital. There were many old objects there. If he could pick up some of them, he could make a fish tank himself in the future and add some ornaments to the bottom of the tank.
He likes this stuff.
For example, the big skeleton of the Wild Boar King is not just a big ornament.
However, the things on Gumiao Street are too messy, and you can’t find anything you like after picking them up. You might as well go to the village and look for them yourself.
Of course, this visit was not without its rewards.
By some strange combination of circumstances, he discovered a little secret about Tian Hongli, a second-rate dealer who resold flowers, birds, insects, and fish.
No wonder this old boy doesn’t go to the village to compete with Sun Yanhong in aquatic products.
It turns out that he also discovered that Chen Ling’s ornamental fish have outstanding advantages in all aspects.
There are no shortcomings in appearance, vitality, and fecundity.
These days, I am also crossing the ornamental fish shipped from Chen Ling’s family with some high-end and precious fish.
Once this guy's ornamental fish breeds and there are high-quality fish, who will compete for aquatic products?
The journey is far away and the freight is too high. Anyway, I can’t fool the villagers to pick up the leaks, and I can’t compete with the local Sun Yanhong.
He is not like Sun Yanhong, who makes small profits and is reluctant to share money with Chen Ling.
Naturally, I don’t want to worry about aquatic products.
It's better to secretly work on something that can make you rich.
"Okay, the old boy has shown his flaws. It seems that when the next batch of ornamental fish raised in my pond is released, the price will have to be raised a little higher."
Chen Ling secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, his lowest prices Such ornamental fish are also good as breeding fish. If the same batch of fish are inbred, they can breed with each other for at least three generations without any problem. If they are crossed with other ornamental fish, there will be no problem at all.
Looking at Tian Hongli’s performance, it is estimated that good seeds will come out easily.
“This is also an idea. Use high-quality fish to cross each other. Each batch of breeding fish will be of a different species, and may mutate into new species, which is the fun of opening a blind box.”
So in the middle of the afternoon, Chen Ling strolled back and forth to many fish shops and aquariums in the provincial capital.
It wasn't until the sun went down that I rushed back to the zoo and prepared to take Ah Fu and Ah Shou out.
