A short video brought a smile to my grandfather's face, and he was no longer depressed. He said he would come to see the wild yellow croaker every day from now on.

Su Zhou stood in front of the water tank. Although it was called a water tank, it was actually a fairly large area, somewhat like an aquarium. However, there was only one wild yellow croaker in the water, which looked rather monotonous.

She poked her fingertip against the glass, and the wild yellow croaker that had swum far away swam back again, gently kissing her fingertip through the glass.

Suzhou-style congee doesn't like fish.

Su Yunhai used to keep very expensive deep-sea fish at home. The fish tank alone was quite expensive, and with all the professional equipment, he spent several million yuan in total.

Some fish are really expensive; these marine creatures are just too delicate.

Of course, in the end, all the fish that Su Yunhai raised died, belly up.

Su Zhou had never raised fish before, but she knew it wasn't an easy task. However, how could a zoo be without an aquarium? She was determined to get one for her zoo. It was just that having only one wild yellow croaker was really too monotonous.

A deep blue light cast dappled shadows on Su Zhou's face, shrouding most of it in light and making her appear even more mysterious and noble. She raised her eyelids; she remembered that the flower and bird market seemed to have a special market for tropical fish, their colors vibrant and beautiful. She wondered about the prices, though. Although she had never kept fish before, with the system's boost, she was confident she could even keep a dinosaur, let alone some tropical fish.

With this idea in mind, she went to the flower and bird market to make purchases that very afternoon.

There are several shops here that specialize in selling tropical fish, and they look quite large.

Because of her good looks and her frequent visits to this area, Su Zhou has become well-known to many shop owners.

The wide road was bustling with people. Passing through the area with the most cats and dogs, you could smell fish food and moisture from the fish tanks. The air was also a bit humid, and many glass aquariums housed different kinds of fish.

These fishmongers had similar displays of items in their shops. Outside, there were several white plastic baskets containing small Brazilian turtles, as well as various goldfish, including well-known species such as the Prince Tigerhead, Bubble Eye, Red-crowned Crane, and Sky-gazing, and other turtles that Su Zhou couldn't name.

When Su Zhou went there, she saw that the owner was also selling hamsters on the side, including dwarf hamsters, Campbell's dwarf hamsters, white-rumped golden hamsters, and several other colors of Poli. Even the fancy hamsters seemed to have a full range of colors, such as Russian blue, husky, light gold, and curly-haired ones. They were rummaging through the cages.

The shop owner was half-reclining in a deck chair scrolling through short videos when he saw a customer arrive. He quickly got up, looked up, and chuckled: "You are...you are the director of that All-Spirit Zoo lately. I remember you; I just saw your video."

The owner was a man in his thirties, with a friendly smile and a slightly overweight build. He proved that he had indeed seen Su Zhou's short videos and even showed her his viewing history. Su Zhou herself was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.

"Um, what are you here to buy?" The shop owner was quite cheerful, mainly because he had never heard of a zoo owner coming to this kind of flower and bird market to buy things. He was also very talkative, a natural chatterbox: "Are you planning to keep fish in the office? Or keep them in your room for fun?"

Su Zhou smiled awkwardly: "They're kept in zoos as ornamental fish."

As soon as she finished speaking, the boss gave her a knowing look. "Oh, I see. Feel free to take a look. If you're looking for ornamental fish, see what kind you want. I'm not exaggerating, but in this area, my fish have the highest survival rate. Many customers have reported that my fish have a very high survival rate after taking them out. They're definitely not sickly fish. If any of them die, just come to me and I'll compensate you, okay?"

Su Zhou didn't respond directly, but instead looked up at the glass fish tank in the shop.

Although the owner is a chatterbox, he wasn't exaggerating at all; the fish here really do look to be of very high quality.

She doesn't know much about fish, but she can hear their inner thoughts.

The owner continued enthusiastically, "Some fish are not easy for beginners to keep. Let me introduce you to some that are easier for beginners to raise..."

He noticed that Su Zhou's gaze was fixed in a certain direction, and only then did he realize that he had been talking too much. After all, she was the director of a zoo, someone who specialized in this industry, so why should he, an outsider, be showing off his limited knowledge here?

Su Zhou's gaze was fixed on the Siamese fighting fish. The tails of the fighting fish were absolutely the most beautiful, with bright and beautiful colors. She was looking at the glass fish tank where the fighting fish were kept. The different colors together looked absolutely gorgeous, like water fairies wearing a grand and dazzling skirt.

"I'll take all of these betta fish." Su Zhou didn't care what breed the betta fish were or how easy they were to keep; all she had in mind was her determination to raise fish. Looking at the betta fish, a smile tugged at the corners of her cherry-pink lips. "Thank you. And please give me ten of each of the other tropical fish you have here as well."

She wanted to sweep everything under the sun, but she felt powerless and worried that if she didn't fully understand the rules of fishkeeping before starting, she might end up with a bad outcome.

"Ah..." The shopkeeper froze, looking at Su Zhou uncertainly: "Do you... want all of these?"

It's not that we haven't encountered wealthy customers before, but we've never seen anyone as wealthy as Su Zhou before. She simply waved her hand and ordered all the fish to be packed up.

Su Zhou nodded solemnly: "Yes, I want them all, I'm not kidding."

The boss realized what was happening, and his smile stretched so wide it made his wrinkles appear.

Today was truly the day we opened for business.

It's still Zhang.

Keeping fish is not like keeping cats or dogs, since fish keeping is still a minority, so his business is not very good on weekdays. Otherwise, he wouldn't be selling very cheap goldfish, fancy rats, and hamsters along with the fish. Children who walk by will buy a small turtle to play with, but not many people actually go into the store to choose fish.

"Believe me, the survival rate of these fish is really high. If any of the fish you take home die, come find me, and I'll compensate you fivefold for every fish that dies." The shopkeeper touched his bald head, seriously doubting that he was still awake, and confidently guaranteed the deal.

Su Zhou believed him.

because……

This temperature is so comfortable.

[Wow, this girl is so pretty! Are we leaving already? I'm so reluctant to leave my dad.]

The water is even cleaner today than yesterday! Wow, being a fish must be so wonderful!

A cacophony of soft, chattering sounds flooded into Su Zhou's mind. Su Zhou replied, "I believe you. Don't worry, these fish will be fine at the zoo; not a single one will die."
