Zhang Zian explained the difference between artificial sea salt, and the others listened very carefully. Only Welder Zhao said impatiently, "It's useless to talk about this. It's just a waste of money! I opened a sea tank, and I basically didn't spend a single cent, and the fish can still fly! "
"Ah? Zhao, you didn't spend money to open a sea tank? "Electrician Wu was stunned.
He knew that Welder Zhao also played with sea tanks, and he started a few days earlier than he did. He went to Welder Zhao's house to take a look, and he thought it was not bad. The fish tank was very big, and it had bottom sand and live stones. It looked pretty good, but he didn't expect it to be free.
"Of course!" Welder Zhao said proudly, "The seawater is natural seawater, and it's free. You can use it after you take it home and let it settle. The live stones are chosen from the reefs by the seaside and chiseled down. The bottom sand is even simpler. I washed the coarse sand by the seaside and put it directly into the tank … Even the fish tank itself was made from a few pieces of glass that I picked up, cut and glued myself with a glass knife and glue. I made a big fish tank that's one and a half meters long. If I bought it from outside, it would cost at least two thousand dollars! Then I made a wooden frame for the fish tank. It's very sturdy! "
Electrician Wu was speechless. "Zhao, you're too thrifty …"
Zhang Zian said that it was a pity that Snowy was not there. If the netizens heard it, the label of a stingy store manager would be thrown into the Pacific Ocean …
Although the poor and the rich had their own ways of playing, this was too thrifty … Not to mention the others, just the fish tank that he glued himself was most likely made of ordinary glass, not super white glass. The viewing effect would be greatly reduced. As for the coarse sand by the seaside, there might even be dog poop hidden in it.
Whether it was raising a cat, a dog, or a fish, raising a pet was originally meant to relax and entertain oneself. It was considered a kind of entertainment activity. Entertainment was spending money to buy fun. Was it really fun to raise a fish so meticulously and think about picking up things that didn't cost money every day?
However, this was Welder Zhao's own choice. Maybe he really enjoyed it.
How could one know the joy of a fish if one was not a fish?
Electrician Wu looked at the heating rod's packaging and thought to himself that it was all in German. He couldn't understand a single word …
He put the heating rod into the seawater bucket, turned on the electricity, and tested it with the multimeter. The reading was zero. At least for now, there was no leakage.
"Okay, I'll take this heating rod. How long is the warranty?" he asked.
Zhang Zian stretched out three fingers. "If it's not damaged by someone within three months, I'll be responsible for replacing it. If there is any leakage within a year, I will also replace it for you, provided that there is no manual disassembly that causes the seal to fail. "
Electrician Wu paid the money without hesitation. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Welder Zhao, "Oh yeah, Zhao, I think this young man knows a lot. Do you want to ask him how to cure the bugs in your tank?"
Welder Zhao was still talking about his experience in saving money and raising fish. After being interrupted, he was a little disappointed, and it was obvious that he didn't want to talk about it. He said vaguely, "What do you want to ask? There was no need for guidance! I can cure them myself. It's just a few worms. I just need to raise a few fish that eat worms. I came out with you today to buy fish! Buy the fish and put it in the tank. No matter how many bugs there are, they will all be eaten up! "
Jiang Feifei was curious and interrupted, "Master Zhao, are there bugs in the fish tank? What bug? "
"Nothing! Nothing! Oh yeah, I didn't even buy a lamp for the fish tank. I used an old table lamp … "Welder Zhao waved his hands and continued to talk about his money-saving tips.
Electrician Wu took out his phone and waved at Jiang Feifei. He called her to the side and whispered, "Little girl, do you want to know what kind of bug it is? Actually, I don't know what kind of bug it is. I advised Zhao to ask someone who knows, so that it's not a bug that's harmful to fish, but this guy is stubborn and full of himself. He thinks he knows everything and doesn't listen to me at all … When I went to his house, I took a picture of the bug in his tank with my phone. Do you want to see it? "
"Yes."
The more Welder Zhao wanted to hide it, the more mysterious Electrician Wu was, and the more Jiang Feifei wanted to find out.
Wang Qian and Li Kun poured buckets of artificial seawater into the brand new aquarium tank. The work was tiring, and their arms were sore after a while. They rubbed their arms and rested while they came over to take a look.
Electrician Wu's expression was complicated. He hesitated and said, "I advise you not to look."
"Why?" The three of them said in unison. They thought that Electrician Wu was quite good at keeping them guessing. He took it out and didn't let them see it …
"Because …" Electrician Wu stuttered. "Because it's disgusting. Most girls are afraid of these bugs. I'm worried that you'll feel uncomfortable if you see it."
"It's okay, don't worry. I go to the beach when I have nothing to do. I've seen a lot of disgusting marine creatures — some creatures that others find disgusting are actually quite interesting to me." Jiang Feifei confidently patted her chest and promised. She wasn't bragging.
Electrician Wu saw that she insisted on looking and sighed. He unlocked the phone screen and pulled out a photo from the gallery. He said, "Look, these are the bugs."
Jiang Feifei, Wang Qian, and Li Kun all came over and stretched their necks to look at his phone screen. Their faces froze, and their stomachs felt a little uncomfortable.
It was a close-up photo. Between the reef and the sand at the bottom of the tank, more than a dozen centipede-like bugs were wriggling.
In order to visually show the length of the bugs, the photographer used a ruler as a comparison. Each bug was at least ten centimeters long.
"It's disgusting. What kind of bugs are these?" Wang Qian asked. "They're quite long."
"If only I knew." Electrician Wu shook his head. "These are still considered small. His fish tank is big, and there are a lot of reefs in it. There are a lot of gaps between the reefs, and there might be bigger ones hidden inside …"
The three of them were speechless. If the small ones were ten centimeters long, then how long would the big ones be? This was too disgusting.
"Master, what kind of bugs are these?" Li Kun called out.
Zhang Zian walked over, glanced at them, and said with certainty, "These are Clam Worms, also known as Sea Centipedes. They're a kind of bristlecone. Although they look disgusting, they're not pests. They can also remove algae from the fish tank. I heard that some people eat Clam Worms … These are enough to cook a dish. "
The three of them felt even more disgusted.
"Young man, are these Clam Worms?" Electrician Wu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's right," Zhang Zian confirmed again.
"Are they harmful to the fish?" Electrician Wu asked again.
"No, some fish like to eat Clam Worms. If you think they're disgusting, you can raise some fish that like to eat Clam Worms, "Zhang Zian said.
Welder Zhao heard their conversation and said proudly, "See, I told you! Wu, you just don't believe me! What should I say to you … Raising a few fish can solve the problem, but you have to make a fuss about it! Actually, I deliberately kept them to let them grow up, so that I can save money on bait! "
The others heard this and thought that Master Zhao was so stingy that he even kept such disgusting bugs.
Electrician Wu still felt that something was wrong. "Young man, you just took a look, and you're so sure? Help me take a closer look. "
"There's no need to take a closer look. It's just a type of Clam Worm. There are more than 80 types of Clam Worms along the coast of our country," Zhang Zian said with a smile.
Electrician Wu gasped. "But I feel that these bugs are quite fierce … Master Zhao, don't the fish in your fish tank often disappear inexplicably?"
"Nonsense! There's no such thing! It's … it's my own mistake! "Welder Zhao argued with a red face.
Zhang Zian was shocked. He interrupted their conversation and said, "Wait! The fish in the fish tank will disappear? There's such a thing? "
Electrician Wu pointed at Welder Zhao. "Exactly. He was complaining to me a few days ago, saying that the fish in the fish tank would disappear one by one, and then another one would disappear after a few days. He couldn't even find the carcasses. Although they're not good fish, it hurts him to keep disappearing … Look, he's denying it now. "
Zhang Zian broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that things might not be good.
