Before returning with a full load, Zhang Zian did not forget his original purpose for coming here.
He found a relatively high reef on the beach, stood on it, and turned on the underwater speaker. Sihwa's singing in an unknown language flowed out of the speaker, mixed with strange puffing sounds.
In an instant, under the nearby reef and in the puddles, the marine creatures that he had not picked up all moved into the sea like a receding tide. Some moved fast, some moved slowly, some swam, some ran, some jumped, and some possibly local creatures did not move.
After the large group ran away, Zhang Zian put the speaker into the sea again and waited for a while. He could not see the effect across the sea, but he expected that there should be no problem.
The coast returned to peace, and he set off on his way back.
By the time he drove back to the pet shop, two or three hours had passed. It was almost noon.
The Amazing Fate Aquarium's door was open, and there were a lot of cardboard boxes and straps scattered in front of the door. Zhang Zian guessed that the custom-made aquarium tanks had finally arrived.
"Wang Qian! Li Kun! Come out and move the things! "he yelled.
"Ah! Coming! "
They ran out of the aquarium one after another. Both of their foreheads were covered in sweat.
"Master, the aquarium tanks have all been delivered. We checked them one by one, and they are not damaged. You should go in and take a look," they said.
"No rush. Help me move the things in the car first." The storage box filled with seawater was very heavy, and Zhang Zian gestured for them to help.
The car door opened, and Wang Qian and Li Kun suddenly froze.
"What the f * ck! Master, where did you get so many fish? There are also crabs and shrimp. "
Zhang Zian said the lines he had prepared in advance. "I went to the beach and happened to meet a group of fishermen who had just returned from fishing. I bought them from them. When they were fishing, they caught all kinds of fish in one net. Other than food fish, there were also some ornamental fish, and even some rare fish. I told them not to throw these fish back into the sea if they saw them again. I would buy them at a high price. "
Part of what he said was the truth. Most fishermen did not know that the brightly colored fish in the net were very valuable. They often threw them back into the sea, gave them to children to play with, or simply stewed them. It was a waste.
A small number of fishermen knew a little about the value of ornamental fish, but they had no way to sell them, and it was not worth it to set up a stall in the fish market just for one or two ornamental fish.
What he said was clear and logical. Wang Qian and Li Kun believed him and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Master, your idea is really amazing! Is this considered direct sales? I don't want to be blackmailed by those middlemen at the fish market! "
Zhang Zian deliberately showed a calm smile, indicating that he agreed.
There was another advantage to this statement, which was that there were no invoices or receipts during the transaction, so there was no way to trace back to the source. Whether it was the purchase quantity or the price, he could say whatever he wanted. There were so many fishermen in Binhai City, who would bother to ask them one by one?
Zhang Zian directed them to move the storage boxes into the aquarium. Lu Yiyun also came out to help, recording the species and numbers of the creatures by category.
Entering the aquarium, Zhang Zian saw that all the custom-made aquarium tanks were already in place. The originally empty first floor had completely changed. However, the aquarium tanks had just arrived, and the accessories were still scattered on the ground. The tanks were empty, and there was no water in them. When the tanks were filled with seawater and all kinds of marine creatures were raised, it would look very beautiful with the lighting effects.
Dong dong!
"Is anyone here?"
Zhang Zian turned around and recognized the girl standing at the door. It was Jiang Feifei, whom he had met at the fish market.
Compared to the delicate facial features and smooth white skin of a city girl, she had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Her skin was darker, and her skin was rougher, but it was very healthy. She had the wheat-colored skin that Westerners loved. One look and it was obvious that she often went outdoors. Maybe she did a lot of farm work in her hometown, so it was easy to recognize her from the crowd.
"Yo, why are you here?"
Zhang Zian motioned for Wang Qian and Li Kun to continue moving the aquarium tanks.
"I'm here to return this. There's no one next door. I saw that the door here was open, so I came in. " She took out a power bank from her bag. "Snowy lent it to me that day, but she didn't look for me again. I didn't know how to return it to her … Then I remembered that you know Snowy, so I searched for the location of your shop on the Internet. I want to ask you to help me return it to Snowy. Do you know where Snowy lives?"
Zhang Zian reached out and took the power bank from her. He pressed the switch, and the indicator lights lit up.
He knew that Snowy didn't care about such a power bank, so he treated it as a gift. He didn't expect her to return it, but not only did she come all the way here to return it, but she also charged it.
"I only know the approximate location. I can mail it there, but Snowy will come back in a few days. I will return it to her then, so that we don't have to pay for the postage," he answered.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! If you and Snowy weren't there, I would have suffered a lot, "she said gratefully.
Zhang Zian shook his head. "It's just a matter of helping. It's not a big deal … Don't you have class today?"
"I'm in my fourth year, so I don't have any classes. I'll graduate in one semester. I'm doing my final project now, so I'm quite free," she answered.
"Hey? You're from Binhai University? "
Wang Qian and Li Kun heard their conversation and asked curiously.
"Yeah, you guys too?" Jiang Feifei nodded.
"We're in our third year, so we should call you seniors. Haha!" They laughed.
"Watch your feet, don't fall!" Zhang Zian reminded them.
Knowing that these two simple-minded boys were schoolmates, Jiang Feifei felt a sense of familiarity in her heart. "Are you working here?"
"No, we're cultivating here," they answered seriously.
Jiang Feifei: "???"
Zhang Zian interrupted, "Ignore them. They're just working here. Their brains are just filled with water every day."
"Oh …" Jiang Feifei looked at Lu Yi Yun again. She estimated that she was two or three years younger than her, so she asked, "Are you also a junior at Binhai University?"
"I …" Lu Yi Yun's face froze. She said in a low voice, "Sort of, but I dropped out."
Jiang Feifei was embarrassed. She knew that her question had hit a nail on the head. She laughed dryly and said, "If I hadn't met Store Manager Zhang and Snowy that day, I would have dropped out too …"
Zhang Zian said, "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Snowy doesn't like to go to school, but she's very good at drawing. She's a professional artist."
"Really? I've admired people who are good at drawing since I was young! "Jiang Feifei said, following the topic.
"No, she's not that good …" Lu Yi Yun blushed. She wasn't used to being praised.
Knock knock!
"Is anyone here?"
As they were talking, another person knocked on the door and entered.
