That night, Chu Xian drove over to Hai Qing Standard to pick up Xiao Ying, and ordered take out to relax back at the apartment.

“Xiao Xian. I’ll be going to Shang Jing University for a month in two days.” Xiao Ying said, putting down her bowl.

“Oh. Will you get hired officially at the school when you finish your internship?” Chu Xian asked.

“En. I’ll have a one month break after the internship, and then after the summer I’ll officially be an assistant professor!”

“Hehe. Then in the future, my Xiao Ying will be a teacher.” Chu Xian said excitedly; teachers were among the special group of flight attendants and nurses that had a special connotation and charm!

“What are you even thinking about.” Xiao Ying muttered, rolling her eyes before pushing a pair of chopsticks at him. “Eat your food!”

“Alright, alright. Xiao Ying, try this. It’ll definitely be the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten!” Chu Xian said, feeding her some of the tomato flavored dried fish.

“Dried fish? Did your parents make it?” Xiao Ying said with a happy expression, opening her mouth and taking a bite.

“My uncle made it, but I got the fish.” Chu Xian smiled, watching her expression.

“Wow!” Just as he expected, Xiao Ying’s eyes widened as she chewed. “Delicious! Incredible!”

“Of course! This is just one of the flavors. There are three more!” Chu Xian smiled. “I can make this dried fish now too. If you like it, I can make it for you every day. We can also experiment with some other seafood!”

“Really? How lucky!” Xiao Ying replied happily, kissing Chu Xian on the cheek.

Chu Xian laughed, and looking at her red cheeks and beautiful mouth, thought back to Pupu’s and Tang Qiumeng’s expressions during lunch and couldn’t resist grabbing Xiao Ying by the waist and kissing her.

“Mmmph. What are you doing! Eat first!” Xiao Ying said, pushing him back.

“We can eat later. Right now this student wants to ask his teacher for some guidance!”

“Mmm. Not here, go to the bedroom!”

“Heihei, fine. Oi, teacher, why are you holding a dried fish!”

“Eat!”

“No, no. Don’t eat the spicy one, take the numb and spicy one! That one makes your mouth dance!”

“En? What?”

“Just trust me! Don’t eat the spicy one!”

“Peng!” The bedroom door slammed shut, and a lesson about breeding and anatomy began.

“It’s all your fault!” Xiao Ying said, rolling her eyes at the cold food. Chu Xian chuckled evilly, and started warming up the food.

“Babe. I need to go to Jinghai for a trip. Is it alright if I stay a couple of days there?” Chu Xian asked, putting the warmed food back on the table.

“Oh? Why are you going?”

“I’m attending an ornamental fish competition. It’s three days long, and during that time your husband is going to make lots of money. Haha, whatever you want, I’ll buy for you!” Chu Xian said, sitting down next to her and feeding her another piece of dried fish.

“En. It’s okay, I don’t really need anything.” Xiao Ying replied. She didn’t really want many luxuries, and already felt like she had enough things.

Chu Xian shook his head. “When you are free get a license and buy a car. You can just live here after you start working. It’ll be more convenient!”

“En, okay!” Xiao Ying agreed, looking at Chu Xian affectionately.

The next morning, Chu Xian dropped Xiao Ying off before going to the store. Feng Pupu had already opened the doors, and after Chu Xian spent some time looking up some information and then drove over to the fish market.

At the market, Chu Xian didn’t rush to buy the goldfish but spent some time walking around the ornamental fish area.

Koi Fish, Angel Fish, Guppies, Arowanas and other big ornamental fish filled the stores as Chu Xian patiently went through each shop.

Chu Xian wanted to take part of the market for big ornamental fish, and needed to create a brand. One of these ornamental fish would be his staple in the future, and this choice would impact his future sales and development.

“Koi Fish is a pretty good choice. They are famous, and the market is large. The Japanese Koi Fish are world-renowned, and if I choose Koi, I’ll have to compete with the Japanese fish farm giants, but I can still do it!”

“Parrotfish is also good, and they rank #1 on some websites. They’re colorful and beautiful, but can’t compete at all in price with the Koi!”

“The Flowerhorn Cichlid has a good price, and was super popular in the Asia-Pacific area. Collectors in Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan all rushed to buy them, and the best Flowerhorn can go for hundreds of thousands of RMB or even a couple million!”

After looking through all the different kinds of fish, Chu Xian stopped at a store and finally decided on the ornamental fish there.

The Scleropages Formosus: also known as the Asian Arowana or Golden Arowana, belonged to an ancient family of freshwater fish, and originated in rivers and lakes of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Sumatra.

An Arowana’s body is long and flat, and its body is covered by big and neat shiny scales. Its mouth is big, with two small feelers jutting out forward under its bottom lip. It swam with tranquility and serenity, and has been compared with the majestic dragons, and is often called the “dragon fish.” It preserves from antiquity an older age, and is a top-tier, expensive ornamental fish.

Arowanas can be further divided into Golden, Red, and Green Arowanas, Australian, Silver, Black, and Yellow Tailed, and also Elephant Fish, Snow Dragon, and Pirarucu. These categories can also be further divided into more specific varieties.

The dragon is the spirit animal of China, and the Arowana symbolized happiness, longevity, prosperity, and security.

In modern times, many people had Arowanas in their living rooms and offices, with hopes that the fish could bring good luck to them and their families, keeping their families happy and rich.

In the aquarium world of China there was a saying that anywhere with Chinese people would have Arowanas, and in recent years the fish had also become increasingly popular in the rest of Asia and in parts of Europe.

The price of an Arowana varied, and some were worth a couple hundred RMB, and some were worth millions. The most expensive Arowana was bought for 5 million RMB, and every year there were at least a few Arowanas that broke the million mark. Even more than Koi, in the Chinese eye the Arowana was the best ornamental fish.
