My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 317 Future planning, high-end ornamental fish

  Tiannan City was called Nantai in ancient times. It is also called Niucheng because of the legend that there were frequent floods in ancient times, and a multicolored sacred cow came to the world to control the flood.

  Why is the divine cow controlling the water, not the divine dragon, the turtle, the phoenix and the like.

   This also has historical origins.

  Because from ancient times to the present, the cattle in Tiannan have been very famous.

   This cow is not only a scalper, but also a buffalo.

   However, the yellow cattle are slightly famous in the name, and the local yellow beef in this city is also well-known.

   "Unfortunately, in a few years, the local cattle will be attacked by foreign beef cattle, and gradually decline, and it will even be difficult to find a real Tiannan cattle."

   Sitting outside the breakfast shop in the Flower, Bird, Insect and Fish Market, Chen Ling looked up at the image and introduction of scalpers on the billboard, and said with some emotion.

   The local yellow beef is tender and fragrant, especially the kind of cattle that are raised in the countryside. After slaughtering, they are stewed in a large pot without any seasoning, just sprinkle with salt.

  The beef is delicious after it is out of the pot, it really makes people want to swallow their tongues.

  Unfortunately, the disadvantage is that the local cattle are small.

  The adult cows raised for two or three years are only four or five hundred catties.

   And what about foreign beef cattle?

   It can grow to 800 pounds in a year.

   But everyone doesn't know how powerful it is, only that the price of beef is the same.

   Then cattle farmers will naturally choose beef cattle that grow meat faster and with more meat.

   The cost of raising one beef cattle a year and selling it is worth the cost of raising two local cattle, which took two or three years to sell.

   Everyone naturally likes beef cattle that sell for more money.

   As for whether the meat is good or not, no one thinks about it.

   This is the same as the relationship between the local black soil pigs and those foreign pigs.

After    foreign pigs came in, few people wanted to raise domestic pigs.

   "Pay attention to it in the future. Some people specialize in breeding black soil pigs in later generations, but the local cattle have not seen any improvement."

  Chen Ling drank the beef offal soup and secretly remembered this incident.

   Even when people in later generations paid attention to food quality, the price of local yellow beef could not be raised. This is a drawback.

   Buying two cows next year and optimizing several rounds of breeding should solve the problem of slow meat growth.

   He had originally planned to buy a few animals to raise them when the baby would run away.

   Everyone has their own advantages, and he liked this thing when he was a child.

  I was still thinking about stealing the horses on the cavalry every day.

   When I came to the city, the first thing I did was visit the flower, bird, insect and fish market.

  …

   "Old man, how much is your budgerigar?"

   "Five dollars a pair."

   "Sell one or not?"

   "Well, one is also sold for three yuan each."

   "Then your parrot is quite expensive."

   In front of a bird-selling stall, Chen Ling leaned over and looked at the rectangular iron cage, where dozens of budgerigars flapped their wings and said.

   Now these days, I sell birds, and I don't pretend to be a pair and put them in a cage.

   Of course there is also a cage next to it.

  You need a cage to buy it.

  Most people don’t need it. Many people make bird cages by themselves.

   I bought a bird and caught it and went home.

   When Chen Ling bought the bird net last year, in Wangbacheng, he had seen parrots for sale, and ordinary parrots were only a dollar apiece.

  The kind of good-looking ones with long tails are only three yuan a pair.

   In the city, it will be two dollars more expensive.

   But two yuan more expensive is two yuan more expensive. Seeing that there are many kinds of parrots on this man's stall, Chen Ling said: "Then you can catch a pair of each type of parrot for me, and give me something cheaper."

   "Do you want a pair of ten dollars too?"

  The old man pointed to the cage of the cockatiel and asked.

   "Yes, can it be cheap?"

   "Can be cheap."

   This is a big customer, so naturally I can't let it go.

   The stall owner nodded again and again and said with a smile: "I'll pick out the good-looking and fancy ones for you, and the male and female will take it all for you."

   In fact, most species of parrots are similar to pheasants. The males are pretty and showy, and the females are slightly inferior.

   "Want a cage?"

   "No cages."

  Since he didn't want a cage, the old man put all the parrots into a small net pocket for Chen Ling.

   This net bag is made of the same material as the net of the net bird.

  This stuff is all over the bird stalls.

   After the parrot was installed, Chen Ling carried the net pocket and continued shopping.

  This parrot was bought for Wang Susu and his son to play with.

   Of course, in the future, when Dongtian breeds, it can also be sold as pets and high-end ornamental birds.

  The plaything is not discouraged, and it can also make money to support the family, which is the best result.

  Chen Ling continued to stroll around, asking people what pets are more expensive and popular these days.

   The answers you get are varied.

   But most people agree.

   One is for ornamental fish and the other is for dog.

  The dog is easy to say, this Chen Ling knows more.

   The current dog.

  From the mid to late 1990s to around 2008, most of the popular dogs in China were foreign dogs.

   One is a pug and a poodle. A poodle is a white long-haired, small man with short legs, like a small lion.

  The other is a large dog like the German Shepherd, which is very popular with the rich.

   At this time, if you see a family with a moral shepherd in the countryside, then this person must be rich or expensive.

  For example, Huangni Town and Wangbacheng, two places open factories and mines, and there are many people who raise such big dogs.

   Even police and military dogs are German shepherds.

   "It's a dog at this time, and a few years later, it's a cat. Whether you keep a dog or a cat, 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 have cute pets.

   But think of exotic pet cats and pet dogs, which have occupied the pet world for twenty or thirty years.

  In the end, the earth cats and dogs abandoned their shoes, and many rural areas began to raise teddy and golden retrievers.

   Even police dogs and military dogs are mostly foreign breeds. What kind of horse dogs, East Germany, and only a blue dog in China, that is, wolf blue.

   But it's just a place to stand.

   Thinking of this, Chen Ling felt that he should do something next.

   When we have time, we still need to select and breed local cats and dogs.

   Cultivate our own domestic pets.

   In addition to enjoying life leisurely, starting from the things you like, do something trivial, but it can also be regarded as meaningful.

   When the time comes, let's also have a pet output, so that the smart and loyal Chinese dogs and the pastoral cats with full hunting skills can go international, isn't it good?

   should work.

  Bees, scalpers, cats and dogs, you have to do a lot yourself.

   This is not in a hurry, nor can it be in a hurry, just do it slowly in the future.

   Of course, for him, it is not a big deal, and there is no pressure in his heart, he can get things done just by playing.

   In addition to these, it is fish.

   But what about fish, Chen Ling doesn't understand.

  Lian knew about fighting fish and Qinling trout, and it was Feng Yi who told him that he understood the value of this thing.

   But these two types of fish are not mainstream and not well known to everyone.

   He wanted to know the current market for ornamental fish, but he still needed to go around and ask about the price.

   The flower, bird, insect and fish market here is not far from the train station, so it is not large in scale.

   There are also no high-quality ornamental fish.

  Chen Ling simply strolled around. Seeing that he couldn't come up with anything, he didn't stay longer. He went to the public toilet to put the parrot in the cave and went to the next place.

   There are many dog ​​markets, livestock markets, and flower, bird, insect, and fish markets in Tiannan City. The things here are not complete, and there are even bigger markets.

   Getting on the rickety bus, Chen Ling crossed most of the city, and after several times, he found a place that sold high-end ornamental fish.

   As soon as I asked the price, I felt that the trip was worthwhile.

  Good guy, a goldfish with a "lion's head" can be sold for tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan.

   And the koi is the most shining star among the goldfish and ornamental fish. The quality is good, and the price is generally a few hundred yuan, and there are even thousands of yuan.

   At this price, Chen Ling felt that he didn't need to do anything else, and he could make a fortune just by raising fish in the cave.

   "Come on, I don't think you need to sell ginseng at all. With this price, you can easily save a car just by selling fish next year."

  ——

  PS:

  I haven’t had a holiday yet. I’ve been busy with work these two days. I’m the busiest before the beginning of the month. With the National Day, I’m even more overwhelmed.

   The recent update volume can't be mentioned, and the normal update volume has been restored, two days later.

   I will continue to make up the number of words at that time, which will affect everyone's reading experience. I am very sorry.

   Finally, I wish you all a happy holiday, relax and have fun during the holidays.
