If they are indeed a new variety, buying this pair and cultivating them properly could yield a profit several times over.

Xu Milu and Xu Minian were both stunned. They really didn't expect Liu Qifeng to be willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy four small fish.

As if afraid that Xu Milu would change her mind, Liu Qifeng quickly took out his phone and transferred 20,000 yuan to Xu Minian directly using his son's WeChat account.

Xu Milu didn't really understand what was so beautiful about ornamental fish, nor did she understand why anyone would be willing to spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy fish that could only be looked at but not eaten. But it was someone else's hobby, and it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't say anything.

Liu Qi got a new fish and was eager to go home to settle his new baby. He was about to leave with his son.

Xu Milu also felt a little bad. Since the other party spent 20,000 yuan to buy fish, she couldn't let him go back empty-handed. So she packed a bag of ping-pong grapes, eggs, and cherries and asked Liu Xing to take them back.

"Sister, don't feel sorry for my dad. He can easily spend tens of thousands on a fish. I think you guys are losing out. Besides, if this new breed of fish can be cultivated, my dad will have the first batch of seedlings, and there will be many people who want them."

Liu Xing didn't refuse, and with a grin, he revealed his father's secrets to Xu Milu while carrying the fruit:

"Do you believe that when my dad gets back, he'll go to the Qingshui River to buy fish?"

Liu Qifeng gave his son a light kick, but didn't pursue the matter of his son exposing his little scheme.

"Little Xu, see you later! If you find another promising talent like this next time, be sure to call Uncle Liu, you absolutely have to!"

He didn't know if he believed Xu Milu's words or not, but he kept giving her instructions for a long time before carefully carrying the turtle tank away.

...

...

After everyone left, Xu Milu and Xu Minian stared at each other, feeling as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky, but they still had to touch it to make sure it wasn't poisoned.

"My goodness, 20,000 yuan just to buy a few fish? Your classmate's family must be very rich."

That's why his father's extravagant spending didn't bankrupt him.

Xu Minian nodded in agreement, clearly also believing that Liu Qi spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy fish was something an ordinary person wouldn't do.

"Liu Xing is a third-generation rich kid. His grandfather owns several factories, and his family seems to be quite wealthy. Anyway, I don't understand what they're thinking. Five thousand yuan for a fish—sister, if that fish is really some rare species, don't you think we sold it too cheaply?"

Although Xu Minian is young, he is not stupid. Five thousand yuan to buy fish sounds like a lot, but if it is a unique fish, he may not be able to get it for five thousand yuan.

If these miscellaneous fish can reproduce, Xu Milu might not agree to Liu Qifeng's offer. If Liu Qifeng is trying to cheat people by buying breeding fish at a low price, then he has really misjudged her.

...

When Liu Hongmei returned home that evening, she learned that her mischievous child had sold the four "goldfish" for 20,000 yuan. She almost fainted from anger.

She called Liu Qifeng herself to confirm, but was terrified by his hearty laughter:

"Don't worry, sis, this was my own choice. They're both good kids. If we're being honest, I actually benefited from their generosity. Don't worry, everything has a price. If I say this fish is worth this much money, then it's worth this much money."

Liu Hongmei wasn't stupid; she knew that if she could refuse money that was already in her hands, it meant it wasn't money earned against her conscience. She smiled and replied:

“Brother, you are so honest. If you just randomly quoted a price, we wouldn’t know what to do. Speaking of which, we are from the same clan. When can we get together? I’ll treat, and our two families can get to know each other.”

Liu Qifeng readily agreed, of course. His four precious fish were still swimming leisurely in the tank; if Xu Milu hadn't given in, he wouldn't have had a chance. He immediately hung up and called his close friends:

"Hey? Grandson, come to my house right now, I've got some new stuff!"

"It's me, Da Liu. Hey, come to my house right away! I have some new seedlings! I got them from a novice, and they only cost me less than 20,000 yuan... The young lady must have misjudged them."

"It's me, yes, did you see the post on WeChat Moments?... Of course it's true, new fry, and they're even family members, definitely a new breed, 20,000 yuan a pair of fry to pre-order!"

"...Your grandson is just flattering you... You're amazing! Come see him tomorrow, first come, first served!"

Xu Milu guessed correctly; Liu Qifeng did indeed have the potential to be a shrewd businessman. He sold five thousand fish fry for twenty thousand, and that was the price for small fish fry.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed. All the creatures that Xu Milu brought back from Earth lost their ability to reproduce the moment they arrived in this plane, and these little fish were no exception.
