Chapter 97 Fishing
"Little brother, which one do you like?"
"I'm not boasting, but the fish I have here are all of the best varieties. Look at the color, how beautiful it is." The shop owner smiled broadly and started selling.
"Can I fish it out myself?" If he wanted to fish out the beaded fish by the way, Xiao Xiao felt that it would be most reassuring to fish it out himself.
"Huh?" The shop owner was stunned for a moment at Xiao Xiao's strange request, but quickly responded, "Okay, okay, of course."
It's a harmless thing at first. As long as it can make business, the customers can make the money themselves if they want.
"Lao San, which fish have you chosen?" Zhang Bo, the three girls, Wu Ya, and Xu Ying all gathered around. When they saw that the shopkeeper had gone to get fishing tools, Zhang Bo asked.
"I don't know, it depends on which one I catch." Xiao Xiao replied casually, his eyes returning to the beaded mango fish.
Zhang Bo and the others:...
Wu Ya, Xu Ying and the other girls:...
The shopkeeper who walked over happened to listen:...
"Haha, the customer really has an idea." The shop owner was the first to react. It's not like he has never encountered strange customers, but this is the first one like Xiao Xiao. Do you think you are playing a game of fishing? ! But the fish in the store are all clearly marked with prices, ranging from high to low. It’s not one-size-fits-all, boy!
The shop owner roared in his heart, smiled enthusiastically on the outside, and greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, little brother, you can fish for whatever you want."
"What do you think of this red-nosed scissorfish?"
Red-nosed scissorfish, as its name suggests, has a bright red snout and a cross-shaped scissor-shaped tail fin. The fish is translucent silver-white as a whole, with black and white stripes on the tail fin, and a gap between the snout and the fin. A black vertical stripe can be seen running through the fish's body on the central body axis.
At this time, the school of red-nosed scissorfish was swimming quickly to the other side as if frightened.
"Hey, so beautiful!" Zhang Jiajia shouted, and the other girls also looked intoxicated.
The lights specially installed by the shop owner on the aquarium float among the ripples of the water surface, making the red-nosed scissor fish appear clear in white and bright in red.
"Isn't it beautiful?" The shopkeeper's face was full of pride.
"You must know that the redder the 'nose' of the red-nosed scissorfish, the better the breeding conditions and the better the quality of the water it lives in. Look at the red-nosed scissorfish here, how red the 'nose' is..." the shopkeeper introduced in a crackling manner. , the others were very considerate and said "Hmm, huh, huh", but the shop owner glanced at the real owner from the corner of his eye, and found that Xiao Xiao's eyes were not on the red-nosed scissorfish at all!
"Ahem, don't you like red-nosed scissorfish? Then look at this one." The shop owner immediately changed his target.
"How about the clown flag?"
"The black markings like coffee beans are its biggest feature."
"So cute!" Luo Xiaoluan's eyes lit up.
……
"Where's the Gaofan Silver Flag? This is the best lantern fish!"
……
"Or this brass lamp would be good too."
……
The shop owner had a sincere expression on his face as he was dedicated to serving his customers, and he was introducing... the most expensive fish in this aquarium!
Unfortunately, the shop owner talked so much that Xiao Xiao didn't pay attention at all.
Xiao Xiao slowly put the net bag into the water and kept still. It was not until the fish that had been frightened to disperse began to swim freely again, that they cautiously and without leaving a trace approached the direction of the beaded frog fish.
On the surface, Xiao Xiao seemed to be sizing up which fish in the aquarium was better, but the corner of his eye never left the beaded frog fish.
The originally peaceful beadfish didn't know whether it sensed danger or it was time for it to move, so it started swimming around in the aquarium.
In order to prevent the pearl fish from making too much noise, Xiao Xiao could only approach it as quietly as possible, but he always got a little closer, only to be further distanced by it.
Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and told himself to take his time.
……
Xiao Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Finally, a fish passed by the beaded frog fish!
I didn't know what was going on before, but all the fish subconsciously avoided the area where the bead fish was, making Xiao Xiao unable to make a move for a while.
Even if they can't see it, the biological instinct of seeking good luck and avoiding danger still allows these ornamental fish to avoid the source of danger, right?
……
What was swimming slowly above the beaded mango was a small black fish. Xiao Xiao, a fish-watching idiot, naturally couldn't recognize what kind of fish it was.
But, it’s you!
"Brush~" The net bag broke out of the water, and inside was a small black fish that was frightened and kept spinning in circles.
There is also a pearl fish floating at the bottom that only Xiao Xiao can see. Xiao Xiao couldn't help showing a big smile.
……
"What kind of fish is this?"
"Lao San, you fished for a long time and you caught a dark fish."
“But it’s so small, it’s quite cute.”
……
"This is an imperial black lantern." The shop owner who finally found a chance to interject smiled brightly, "My little brother has a good eye. This is the best lantern fish. I don't even have a few here."
"Shopkeeper, I want this one." Xiao Xiao didn't care what kind of fish it was, but the name of this fish was quite domineering, and he liked it.
No wonder they are not afraid of the beaded frog fish.
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper wanted to take the net bag from Xiao Xiao's hand and help Xiao Xiao pack the fish, but Xiao Xiao dodged it and said, "I'll do it myself."
Shopkeeper:…
What to do? What to do? I have been running a shop for 20 years, are you still worried that I can’t pack a fish? !
The shop owner raised the table and roared in his heart again, but after being stunned for a moment, he smiled more and more.
Especially when I saw Xiao Xiao, who was loading up the fish and paying for it, I just thought it was better for young people to buy fish without asking the price.
"My little brother is so happy, I can't be stingy anymore. I sold this imperial black light to my little brother for one hundred yuan."
"What?!" Before Xiao Xiao could answer, several others had already shouted.
“So expensive?!”
"Isn't it just such a small fish?"
"It's still dark and not very pretty."
"Boss, you don't think you're going to trick us just because we're students, do you?"
……
"Hey, this hurts my heart. When I do business, I always pay attention to integrity and never cheat!"
"Besides, the lamp ornamental fish are so small to begin with."
"Furthermore, this little brother has chosen the best lantern fish. If you go to other stores and ask, mine is definitely the cheapest."
"If it weren't for the fact that my little brother is so happy, I would sell him 120 yuan for most people."
The shop owner loudly complained about his injustice and argued vigorously.
"But many other ornamental fish are obviously only a few yuan each." Luo Xiaoluan puffed up his cheeks, still a little unconvinced.
"Little girl, you said there are a lot of them, not all of them. Some ornamental fish are expensive."
"Lao San, why don't you change it to another one? It's so expensive to buy such a small fish." Zhang Bo said in a loud voice, not caring that the shop owner was right in front of him.
"It's okay, it's more destined to me." Xiao Xiao randomly found a reason, "Shop owner, this is the one, I'll give you the money."
"Hey, okay." The shop owner beamed with joy, took the money and raised it carefully, "Little brother, the Imperial Black Lantern is not a lantern fish that is particularly suitable for novices to raise. You need to pay more attention, or I will give it to you." Give me your phone number. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime.”
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Later, the shop owner gave Xiao Xiao a lot of things, including a fish tank, a fishing net, a bag of fish food and a bag of sterilizing salt.
