Those who had experience harvesting at the beach would know that the results of a wild harvest depended on the heavens. When the waves were calm, there would usually be no harvest. However, on the second day when the sea was stormy and the sea level rose sharply, not only would there be many creatures on the beach, there might even be a pleasant surprise.
Jiang Feifei had harvested quite a few times in the wild. Although no one had taught her this rule, she had naturally come to the conclusion after practice.
The strange thing was that the weather had been good for the past two days, and the sea was calm. When she went out this morning, she did not expect to pick up many things. Otherwise, she would have brought a few more storage boxes. However, when she arrived at the beach and walked around, she found that there were many more creatures than usual. She did not even know many of them, such as the Oliva emicator.
Even so, she did not have too many suspicions, because this happened occasionally. It was probably because, although there was no rainstorm in Binhai City, it was raining in the neighboring sea area. If the ocean currents and wind direction were in this direction, the rising sea level would also wash more creatures here.
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did.
After listening, Zhang Zian did not think it was a coincidence.
Obviously, Sihwa's arrival had attracted nearby marine life like a magnet.
While he was thinking, the two girls squatted on the ground. Jiang Feifei pointed at the creatures in the storage box and introduced them to Snowy and the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Is this an octopus?" Snowy stared at the wriggling tentacles of a soft animal in the storage box, feeling disgusted.
"It's a very common octopus, but the local fishermen generally call it 'Octopus octopus.' There's also a nice name, 'Tide Watcher,'" Jiang Feifei said, glancing at Zhang Zian guiltily, afraid that she had said something wrong.
As she said, it was a very common octopus. To be precise, it was very common on the dining table. Ordinary people rarely saw one alive and whole. Most of them had joined the luxurious lunch at KFC.
"Tide Watcher? I like the name. It sounds like the local forum 'Wang Haige.' "Snowy nodded, then pointed at another octopus." What is this? Is it Octopus octopus? "
"This … I don't know." Jiang Feifei smiled.
Snowy subconsciously retracted her hand, worried that the octopus was also poisonous.
"That's a red octopus. It's quite rare in our area." Zhang Zian came back to his senses. "Didn't you bring an oxygen pump? This Crimson Crimson Octopus probably can't hold on much longer. "
The crimson octopus usually lived in the tropics and was much more beautiful than the rustic octopus octopus. Its body was light red and slightly purple, and countless white spots appeared on the surface of its body. It lay weakly in the water, almost motionless, and even ignored the small fish that swam past it.
"Oxygen pump … No, I only brought a big fish basket." Jiang Feifei felt even more ashamed.
"Octopuses are high-oxygen animals. They need oxygen to survive after leaving the sea." Zhang Zian shook his head regretfully. The crimson octopus was still quite valuable. Such a big one could sell for at least four or five hundred yuan.
"Four or five hundred?" Jiang Feifei was dumbfounded. "Someone asked me this morning. I said it was 150 yuan. That person bargained for 100 yuan. In the end, he said it was too expensive and he didn't want it …"
"Because that person probably doesn't know what kind of octopus it is." Zhang Zian understood the customer's mentality too well. "He just thought it looked good. 100 yuan was a good buy. Fortunately, you didn't sell it. Otherwise, he would have lost a lot."
"It's a pity that it's dying. In the end, it's still a loss …" She sighed. "I also know that it's better to have an oxygen pump, but even if I brought it, there's no power source to plug it in."
"A small oxygen pump with a USB port is designed for wild harvesting," Zhang Zian said. "Together with a power bank, you can go wild."
Jiang Feifei said helplessly, "But I didn't bring a power bank …"
"I do have a power bank. Mr. Store Manager, there should be oxygen pumps in the fish market, right?" Snowy interrupted from the side.
When Snowy was doing live broadcasts, she often went out for a whole day. She always had a power bank in her backpack, or else her phone battery wouldn't last.
With her reminder, Zhang Zian remembered that the fish market was nearby. As long as he bought an oxygen pump, this crimson octopus should still be able to be saved.
"How about this? You wait outside. We'll go in and buy an oxygen pump, then send it back to you," he said.
Jiang Feifei had to look after the stall and couldn't leave, so she was very grateful.
Zhang Zian and Snowy were going to the fish market anyway, so helping her was a piece of cake.
The scattered stalls outside the fish market were basically all gone. The other stalls were pretty much the same, and there was nothing much to see.
After the two of them discussed with Jiang Feifei, they entered the fish market building.
The fish market building had two entrances, Building A and Building B. Building B was exclusively occupied by aquatic creatures, while Building A was for other types of pets. Zhang Zian and Snowy went straight to Building B.
As soon as they entered, the noise outside quietly faded away. There weren't many customers in the fish market. After all, it was a working day, but most people were relatively quiet. They were hugging their shoulders and admiring their favorite marine creatures in front of the fish tank. Occasionally, they would talk to the shop owner. The marine creatures themselves weren't like cats and dogs, meowing and barking non-stop.
It was hard to see water after seeing the ocean.
Zhang Zian had been to Karl's aquarium, and when he looked at this place again, he felt that it was relatively ordinary. Whether it was the atmosphere, the facilities, the level of professionalism, or the marine creatures themselves, they all lacked highlights.
But it didn't matter. He wasn't here to learn from them, but to purchase bottom sand, live rocks, corals, and the like.
It was Snowy's first time coming to such a place. Everything was new to her, but she didn't forget that the most important thing was to buy an oxygen pump for Jiang Feifei.
They looked at the layout of Building B at the entrance and found that the first floor was for marine creatures, the second floor was for bottom sand, live rocks, and other things that Zhang Zian wanted, and the third floor was for all kinds of aquarium equipment.
If Zhang Zian came alone, he probably wouldn't go to the third floor, because the equipment he wanted to buy was already complete.
The two of them hit it off. They first took the elevator to the third floor and walked from the top to the bottom.
"Sir, what would you like to buy? Fish tank? Filter? Heating rod? Egg splitting? Calcium counter? We have everything here. Come and take a look. If you want a complete set, we also have it at a better price! "
"Sir, come and take a look!"
As soon as they came out of the elevator, the shop assistants on the third floor greeted them. They were much more enthusiastic than the first floor.
Maybe it was because of the impact of online shopping, but there were even fewer customers on the third floor. Most of them were buying large and medium-sized fish tanks. After all, the shipping cost for these things was too high online, but here, they could deliver them to their homes for free, and they could even carry them upstairs.
"We want an oxygen pump," Snowy said straightforwardly.
"Oxygen pump? We have it. We specialize in all kinds of fish tank accessories. We have all kinds of models, and we have more variety than other shops. Come with me. " One of the shop assistants had a louder voice. He enthusiastically held Zhang Zian's arm and pulled him to his own shop.
