Chapter 1 - Repair of old fish
The sea water is gently rippling around, the blue waves are flickering, colorful fish swim leisurely by the eyes, the whole world is like a silent symphony, beautiful and quiet, making people feel comfortable.
At this time, a dolphin suddenly galloped past, with a clatter, jumping out of the sea, bringing a wave of waves…
Yuyou opened his eyes and lay wet on the bed, staring at the ceiling quietly, the sound of the waves could be vaguely heard in his ears.
Since she woke up from the sea clan at the age of 10, she often pierced the sea in her dreams, and every time she woke up, she was wet. In order to avoid always changing the sheets and bedding, she now sleeps on inflatable swimming beds.
Yuyou turned over from the swimming bed, went into the bathroom to rinse, put on a set of loose casual clothes, picked up the head rope and tied his long hair with a bit of moisture behind him at will, put on glasses, under the lenses. It is a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes.
Yuyou is not really short-sighted, but after awakening the sea clan bloodline, her pupils have changed, and her vision on land and underwater are completely two styles of painting.
Packing himself up, Yuyou walked out of the room, went downstairs to his small shop, and was ready to open for business.
She opened an electrical appliance repair shop near the largest flower, bird and fish market in City A. Its main business includes technology products such as computers, mobile phones, home appliances, and digital products, as well as second-hand electrical appliance recycling. Her maintenance skills are not bad, but the location of the store is not good, the income is bleak, and she is in a state of loss all the year round.
Despite this, she still has no special plan, on the one hand, because this store is the inheritance left to her by her adoptive parents, on the other hand, because she herself is also very interested in technology products, and finally because her sea ethnic identity.
For the awakened Yuyou, the ocean has almost become a part of her body. The ebb and flow of tides, the movement of ocean currents, the density, temperature and pressure, and the reproduction of various marine creatures are all in her mind.
“Ah, great, there is a repair shop here… Laoyu electrical repair? The name is really strange.” As a clear voice sounded, a young man and woman soon appeared at the door.
After stepping into the store, a brief stunned expression appeared on the faces of the two of them. It was obviously an electrical repair shop, but the scene inside the shop made them think they had entered the wrong place. In the space of more than 90 square meters, dozens of fish tanks, large and small, are neatly placed on the left and right sides. There are many ornamental fish in the fish tanks, with a wide variety and colorful, which makes people dizzying.
“Ah, what kind of fish is this? It’s so beautiful.” The girl approached a fish tank, looked at a yellow-backed blue-tailed fish, and greeted her boyfriend excitedly.
“If you like it, buy one and go back to raise it.” The young man said casually.
The girl was moved, turned her head and asked Yuyou behind the counter: “Boss, what kind of fish is this and how to sell it?”
Yuyou looked at the fish and replied, “This is a tiger skin bride, not for sale.”
“Ah, why?” The girl looked puzzled.
“This is a maintenance shop, not an aquarium.” Yuyou said softly, “If you want to buy ornamental fish, you can go to the Flower, Bird and Fish Market 50 meters away.”
“Uh…” Only then did the girl realize that she came to repair the phone, not to buy fish, “I’m sorry, boss, please help me check the phone.”
The girl walked to the counter and handed the mobile phone to Yuyou. She then looked at the items in the glass counter, including mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras and various small accessories. On the shelves behind the counter, there were also rice cookers and induction cookers. , hair dryers and other small household appliances and remote control toys of various shapes. Ignoring the fish tanks on both sides, it is indeed a decent maintenance shop.
“There’s nothing wrong with your phone, it’s just that it got in some water.” Yu You quickly solved the problem and handed the phone back to her.
“Thank you, how much?” The girl swayed a few times, and she returned to normal.
“No, you can handle this kind of small problem yourself.”
The girl looked at Yu You unexpectedly, it was the first time she met such a kind boss. Before going to the repair shop, even if there is no problem, the starting price is 50.
“Then thank you boss.” The girl was not pretentious, she thanked her sweetly, and then looked at the tiger-skin bride, “Boss, do you really not sell your fish?”
“Don’t sell.” In fact, it’s not that they don’t sell, but the aura of the tiger-skin bride and this girl are at odds, and they have no eye contact.
The ornamental fish in the Yuyou store are all old, weak, sick and disabled bought from other places. After her conditioning, most of them have recovered. She doesn’t sell fish unless they’ve found a buyer themselves and want to live with them.
“What a pity.” The girl put away her phone and left the store with her boyfriend in disappointment.
After going out, the young man smiled and said, “If you really like it, I will take you to the Flower, Bird and Fish Market.”
The girl thought for a while, then shook her head and said, “Forget it, I just bought it on a whim. If I really buy it back, I might raise it to death in a few days, so don’t harm them.”
“Alright then, let’s go shopping over there.” The young man didn’t insist and took her to the other side of the street.
The appearance and departure of the two did not have any effect on Yuyou. She sat at the counter and concentrated on studying the circuit diagram, while practicing disassembly and assembly of spare parts. The slender fingers shuttle back and forth among various parts, flexibly and quickly split and combine.
This is her daily essential homework. Since she decided to take the technical stream route, she has taken relevant subjects and collected many professional books. It took her a few years to become a technical maintenance technician. The basic knowledge is very solid, but more advanced skills cannot be learned casually. Yes, you can only find inspiration from various technological products.
While studying, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
Yuyou took out her phone. Her phone has a very special shape. The sides of the fuselage are slightly curved, and the case has a green patch pattern, which looks like a turtle with its head and tail shrunk.
The screen lock is automatically opened, and the Gaode map jumps out immediately. The positioning sign is shining, and there is a text box next to it: [There are fish here. 】
Yuyou asked casually, “What fish?”
The screen of the mobile phone changed suddenly, from the map of Gaode to the picture of Baidu: [Jin Touhong clownfish, adult, critically ill and weak. 】
“Understood.” Yu You picked up his mobile phone, hung up the sign of suspension of business, and drove his electric car towards his destination.
[Turn right 200 meters ahead. 】
Yuyou followed the navigation all the way to the vicinity of Chengnan Vegetable Market, and stopped at the entrance of an old aquarium shop.
Putting away the phone, Yuyou walked into the store and looked at the surrounding environment at will. There are more than 20 aquariums, the materials are ordinary, and the water quality is also very ordinary. Most of the ornamental fish are in a sub-health state. Fortunately, the situation is not serious, as long as Take care of it properly and it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Yuyou finally looked at the small fish tank in the corner, where a clownfish was kept alone, and it was the golden red one she was looking for.
“Beauty, what kind of fish do you like? Just take a look. We have a wide range of ornamental fish at affordable prices.” The middle-aged and fat shop owner greeted with a smile.
Yuyou turned a deaf ear to his words, leaned over to the fish tank, and carefully examined the critically ill golden-red clownfish. There were light-colored lumpy cloud spots on the skin, with cracks and slightly protruding eyes, which were signs of tuberculosis. And the condition is more serious. In the case of acute tuberculosis, the diseased fish will die within a day or two, and they are also contagious.
“Boss, how do you sell this fish?” Yuyou asked, pointing to the clownfish in the tank.
The boss first glanced at the clownfish suspiciously, and then smiled: “Beauty, I won’t lie to you, this clownfish is sick, if you sincerely want to buy it, then take it for 39 yuan. I will give it to you separately. 2 capsules of chloramphenicol, go back and take good care of it, you will recover soon.”
Yu You listened to him with sincerity, but in fact there were not many discounts. A healthy clownfish is only 50 yuan, and a critically ill clownfish even dares to ask for 39 yuan.
“5 yuan.” Yu You didn’t talk nonsense with him, and directly quoted.
“Five yuan?” The boss looked incredulous, “This is gold rosy, not ordinary artificial black borders. Five yuan can buy a goldfish.”
“It’s got tuberculosis, and I’m afraid it won’t survive. In a few days, you can only throw it away.”
As soon as the boss heard it, he knew that he had run into an expert, so he didn’t answer for free: “Since you have a clear door, why do you still buy it?”
“Buy it back to make a specimen.” Yuyou gave an explanation casually.
“Okay, you can take the 5 yuan.” The boss waved his hand sullenly.
Five minutes later, Yuyou walked out of the store carrying the plastic bag containing the clownfish, carefully put it in the trunk of the car, and then stepped on the electric car and returned to his old fish repair shop.
This clownfish is indeed terminally ill, and Yuyou’s ability cannot cure it, at most it can only ease its pain.
Stretching his hand into the water tank, the clownfish rubbed affectionately.
Yuyou asked, “Do you want to go back to the sea, or stay?”
The clownfish swam around her fingers a few times, and a few bubbles came out of her mouth.
“Okay, then let’s stay.” Yuyou glanced around the store, and finally locked on a second-hand ipad. Take this ipad out and place it in front of the fish tank, “Do you like this look?”
The clownfish has no aesthetic consciousness at all, what Yuyou says is what he says.
Yuyou smiled, holding the ipad in one hand and wrapping the clownfish in the other. After a while, the clownfish slowly floated to the surface and disappeared without a trace. And that ipad, the original silver-white shell, suddenly turned into a strange color of red in gold, the screen also automatically lighted up, and all the software was opened in sequence, as if it had been infected with a virus.
“Grandpa Turtle, it’s up to you to train it.” Yu You put his turtle shell phone next to the ipad.
The phone screen will automatically light up, connect the ipad, and start data transfer.
There are two screens, one big and one small, just like teaching, and various operations are played.
“Grandpa Turtle, can you give it a name?” Yu You took the time to say.
An electronic dictionary popped up on the screen of the mobile phone, and two words were randomly generated: [Afraid]
The clownfish is afraid (ipad).
