As Ye Yuan walked in the fish market, what he didn't expect was that the unwanted dead wood waste in his studio was actually being sold as high-end fish tank ornaments.
If he hadn't come here, Ye Yuan really wouldn't have known that so many things he didn't like would be sold here as items.
Even hermit crabs that fishermen are too lazy to catch at the beach are sold here for a high price of 5 yuan each.
Hermit crab fishermen call it "white house" or "dry house".
Their appearance is between shrimp and crab, and most of them live in snail shells.
Although hermit crabs are edible, they have a poor taste and often have a very strong rancid smell when cooked.
Almost no fishermen on the beach would catch it for food.
Ye Yuan was attracted by a fish shop. There were two large fish tanks in front of the shop.
In one of the fish tanks, there is a red arowana of about 70cm. Although it is not as good as the one at home, it can be regarded as top quality.
Ye Yuan approached and found a small sign on the fish tank, which said the best blood red dragon, price: 200,000.
There is a fish tank next to it, which is full of silver dragons, ranging in size, and there is no price mark.
Even though Ye Yuan's family also has a blood-red dragon, he is still unwilling to spend hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands on a fish.
Ye Yuan found that there were not many people in the store, so he walked in.
The owner of the store saw him coming in and smiled at him, not too enthusiastically.
It’s not the owner’s fault. This store mainly sells high-end large ornamental fish.
There are many people coming in to visit every day, but very few can actually afford to buy. Especially since Ye Yuan is so young, the owner treats him like some aquarist who comes into the store to admire the fish.
Walking into the store, many exquisite fish tanks are displayed on both sides, each with only one exquisite ornamental fish.
Red arowana, golden arowana, Thai tiger fish, and koi each are not small in size, not just that.
Ye Yuan also saw a very large fish tank more than five meters long inside, and there was actually a ghost rocket fish in it.
Ye Yuan paid attention to it because this Nether Rocket Fish had turned albino.
This ghost rocket is silver-white in color and has a slender figure. It is like a "king" in the water and is extremely domineering.
The whole body is white and flawless, the texture is fine, elegant and charming, very stunning.
Ye Yuan knew that this fish looked very beautiful despite its appearance. But his character is very fierce.
I took a quick look at the prices of the fish in this fish shop. They ranged from several thousand to tens of thousands. The most expensive one was the blood-red dragon outside the door.
"Little brother, are these fish good?" The shop owner sat on the bench and started chatting with Ye Yuan.
The smug expression on his face was clearly evident.
“Not bad, very beautiful”
Ye Yuan said sincerely, this is really not a lie. When Ye Yuan came to this market, this fish shop was considered to be relatively high-end.
Then Ye Yuan asked the shop owner
"The price of these fish is not low, there won't be too many people buying it, right?"
As soon as the boss heard Ye Yuan's words, he knew that he was an amateur, and then he laughed and said:
"Don't underestimate people's purchasing power these days. The fish here are very popular."
After saying that, he stood up and came to Ye Yuan's side, took out a box of Huazi from his pocket and handed one to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan did not answer, but just shook his head. The boss lit one himself, took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of cigarette intoxicatedly and said:
"Look at the color and brightness of my fish. They are all top-notch. Also, these fish are very energetic. You can't find many like them in Landao City."
Having said this, he took a puff of cigarette and continued to speak.
"Don't look at the price. This is in Blue Island. If you go to some first-tier cities, the price will be raised by 10%. The ornamental fish market is very popular now, but there are only so many top-quality ones. Some rich bosses are not bad. This is a few dollars."
Seeing that Ye Yuan was listening very seriously, the boss began to introduce Ye Yuan to the current situation of the ornamental fish market.
"Now as long as you have top-quality ornamental fish, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell them. At an auction in Japan the year before last, a top-quality red and white koi carp about one meter was bought by a wealthy actress from Wanwan. You know What’s the price?”
The shop owner said this and deliberately paused to look at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan said cooperatively:
"How much?"
"Thirteen million, Chinese national currency, that set a record for the most expensive koi at the time."
The boss said with a proud expression on his face, and those who didn't know thought he had sold the fish.
Ye Yuan also knows that among the world's most precious ornamental fish, koi carp is firmly ranked first. Currently, most of the koi carps that are very valuable in the world market come from the Japanese country.
Koi was introduced to Japan from China, but it flourished in Japan.
Seeing Ye Yuan's silence, the boss thought he was shocked by the price, so he stopped talking and gave Ye Yuan enough time to digest.
Ye Yuan found that the cigarettes in his boss's hand had been finished, so he took out his own cigarettes, handed one to the boss, and lit one himself.
"I don't usually smoke. This cigarette is not as good as yours, so don't dislike it."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay."
Ye Yuan saw that the shop owner was very talkative and wanted to learn more about the current market situation of ornamental fish from him, so he sat down and chatted with the shop owner.
The two of them chatted for half an hour. If it weren't for a few young people coming into the shop to look at the fish, the shopkeeper would have continued talking.
Ye Yuan stood up and said goodbye to the shop owner.
After walking out of this fish shop, Ye Yuan had a general understanding of the current ornamental fish market in Landao City.
The water for ornamental fish is still very deep, ranging from small fish worth a few yuan to rare fish worth millions.
Ye Yuan spent the whole morning shopping here, and finally bought a few koi carp in a very humble shop.
This time, Ye Yuan did not plan to cultivate ornamental fish on a large scale. He still understood the principle of rare things being valuable.
He only has one goal in buying koi, which is to be big, but he has no requirements for the pattern that many aquarists are most concerned about.
This made the shop owner extremely happy. The few large koi carps that could not be sold were packed up and sold to Ye Yuan for 50,000 yuan.
Not only that, the shop owner personally drove a three-wheeler and delivered the fish to Ye Yuan's pickup truck. After all, even the fish was very heavy and most people couldn't take it away without tools.
Ye Yuan started the car and headed back to Pinghai County. This time he had achieved his purpose of coming here, which was to prepare for the Dengkaihang Fish Exhibition.
On the way back to Pinghai County, Ye Yuan found a remote place to park his car, put a few purchased koi carps into the space, and followed suit.
Don't forget that the system has the function of changing the appearance of aquatic creatures. This is Ye Yuan's biggest trump card.
No matter what kind of koi comes into Ye Yuan's hands, it can be whatever he wants it to be.
Having checked the information before, Ye Yuan used his points to slowly change the appearance of a koi as time passed by.
PS: Thanks to Xiao Jiao for being a great person and a big boss for the reward.
