Chapter 24 Auspiciousness at your fingertips
There are tens of thousands of arhat fish, hundreds of thousands of arhat fish, and millions of arhat fish. Such news is common. Around us, in the ordinary flower and bird market, you can also see ornamental fish that are thousands of arhat fish. Such high-quality ornamental fish are even placed at home as Feng Shui fish.
What's more, now in the Tang Dynasty, where Li family is the world, in an era when people dare not eat carp publicly, once the koi appears, they will basically be regarded as auspicious existence.
Especially those koi that Shi Lei could transform, which absolutely does not exist in this world, with many colors. Such varieties of lucky fortune and golden carp, are very beautiful, and will definitely become treasures that everyone loves.
Of course, there is not too much quantity, and it will be worthless if it is too much. Shi Lei only plans to occasionally take out one or two pieces as a treasure for the store.
Moreover, most of them may not even have the chance to meet the public. Shi Lei planned to go directly to the big Chang'an merchants and send these things to the capital where powerful people gather. For such good things with different meanings, they should be the group of people they most long for.
Shi Lei didn't need to make any special explanation. These big businesses who have close ties with the powerful will naturally pass on such information back. It can be foreseeable that these koi will definitely be fired to the sky.
As for being forced to be robbed by the nobles, our family is not scared, it’s just a fight. When it comes to fighting, we are not afraid of those martial arts families. In terms of the number and quality of the veterans in the family, they are not much worse than theirs.
After all, there are very few noble families who can find so many Xuanjia Army soldiers as merchants like Shi Lei's family. What's more, there are three uncles, such rare fierce men, and of course, Shi Lei, a new human-shaped gorilla. I can't say whoever I see, and I really dare to make the right move here, probably not many.
Even people like Changsun Wuji and who are extremely close to the emperor can only dare to use some tricks when dealing with Shi Lei's family. They have to worry about those who are wise and have no choice but to do it, let alone other nobles.
Of course, this is just Shi Lei's habit in his previous life. He always has to consider the worst possibility. He has to make the worst plan and work hard to the best. Now that he is the head of the family, he has to think about many things in front of him, and he has to ignore the consequences when doing things.
Thinking of the bright future, Shi Lei couldn't hold back his smile and sat there with a silly smile, as if he was trapped in a silly fool. From time to time, a "squeak" laughter leaked out.
The guards scattered around have long been accustomed to Shi Lei's condition. Since the situation at home has developed in a good direction, Shi Lei has often appeared like an idiot.
At first, these old family members who were responsible for guarding the family were very nervous and often reported to the butler. Later, they became indifferent, chatting when they should and playing around with them.
Of course, they are still paying attention to the surrounding situation very responsibly. Wherever Shi Lei stays, they will definitely be places where they can confirm safety.
For example, Shi Lei squatted by the river, and at one glance, there were clear rice fields. Even if Shi Lei, who was in a state of dementia, fell into the river, several guards from water ghosts could soon fish him out from the river less than one person deep.
After finishing his beauty, Shi Lei took a handful of river water and washed his face. He ran to get the fishing net with excitement. He couldn't wait to experiment and transform some ornamental fish out.
If it weren't for the fact that the bare-ass kids next to them were all used to supplement their household expenses, Shi Lei would have to snatch theirs directly.
Besides, the fish that I snatched at will have become a stunning ornamental fish, which is auspicious, so it's too casual.
The originally loose guards surrounded Shi Lei's moment of starting up, blocking all possible attacks to Shi Lei, and exercising their mission responsibly.
"A big road is open to my home. My family lives in it. At the foot of the green mountain, the soil is fertile at the foot of the mountain. There are five acres of land and five acres of fertile land. What should I plant?
A big river, it is connected to my house, there are chickens and geese, the grass is so big thatched house, the chickens are fat, the goose is fat, the cows are strong, the cows are strong, the beans are growing rice, rape flowers..."
Shi Lei took the various river fish he had harvested and sang this song Shi Lei casually adapted it, which seemed more appropriate to the situation. He walked towards the thatched cottage with light steps.
At first, Shi Lei was singing alone, and soon the guards who were infected by Shi Lei's emotions also sang this song with a light and simple and easy-to-learn song loudly.
Those naked naughty kids were shy, shaking their little birds without shyness, and jumped around and ran towards their homes singing.
After waving his hand, he drove away the naughty kids who were surrounded by him and asked for honey to eat. Shi Lei then calmed down and began to transform these fish that were temporarily placed in the large water tank.
Speaking of the goldfish in our country, they are all developed from grass crucian carp. First, there were grass goldfish with colors, which were red crucian carp, which was similar to the relationship between koi and ordinary carp.
Then after people carefully selected, the literary species appeared, that is, when looking down, goldfish with a shape like seal script, such as pearls, gills, etc. Then there were dragon eyes, tiger heads and goldfish varieties such as eggs.
Koi have also gone through a similar process to be as colorful as they will be in the future.
In later generations, their appearance is sometimes strange, because the angles of view are different. You will know that you can look at the Chinese paintings related to ornamental fish. The correct viewing angle should be to look down on them.
Don’t forget that the ancients, or Shi Lei, nowadays, do not have things like glass fish tanks. Although in today’s world, pure glass can be made, big objects like fish tanks still have to withstand water pressure, and it is really not that easy to make.
You can only look down at the elegant posture of these ornamental fish swimming from an opaque porcelain jar or at the opening above the fish pond. Therefore, the vision of selection and breeding is different from that of later generations.
Shi Lei tried his best to choose those crucian carp and carp to start with. This tank is basically used together. Those that cannot be used have been thrown to the naughty children just now, so don’t waste it, right?
