I will never give in to Miss Death

"one two three!"

"Li Chen, are you not using enough strength?"

"How dare I...hiss, this is really too heavy..."

Seeing the two of them working together to move things, Xiaomo also came to my side: "Do you need my help?"

"No need."

At this time, Ding Man and Mochi, who were always curious about everything, also ran over and jumped onto the new table.

"If they can move the fish tank from over there, they can definitely move it from the car."

I took Ding Man off the table and rubbed the big guy's head: "Be good, don't make trouble."

Cats are like this. As long as they are in an environment that is absolutely familiar to them, if something new appears, they will run over to take a look and smell it, then rub their heads against the thing twice, exhaling the glands behind their fangs to mark the thing - this is mine.

"One two three, one two... three!"

After a while, Li Chen and Ouyang Xue brought the fish tank, which was less than one-third full of water, into the store. They pushed the lift, started the device, raised the fish tank to the same height as the table, and then worked together to pull the fish tank onto the table.

It wasn't until then that I noticed how big the fish tank was.

It is nearly two meters long and almost one meter high. Given its size, I might get choked if I accidentally slipped when I went in.

If a fish tank of this size were filled with water, three Li Chens might not be able to push it.

"call……"

After putting the fish tank on the table, Li Chen wiped the sweat off his face and took a long water pipe: "I'll go get some water outside."

"Go ahead, I'll get that souvenir."

Ouyang Xue said this and walked out of the coffee shop. After a while she came back holding a big salted fish doll.

Wait, a salted fish doll?

I stared at this big salted fish who was over 1.5 meters tall and taller than me, with my eyes widened.

Ding Man and Nuomi also saw the big salted fish at the first time, and kept meowing at my feet.

"This is a souvenir from the store. I don't know where to put it. Nuo'er, you take it."

After handing me the salted fish sword, Ouyang Xue stretched and moved to the fish tank: "The landscaping they made is really unique..."

"these are……"

I also went over holding the salted fish doll and looked at the scenery in the bathtub.

At this time, all kinds of very beautiful landscaping can be seen everywhere in this large fish tank: some rockery and large rocks arranged to give a "Dragon Valley" feeling, with dragon bones scattered everywhere around, and even a dragon head skeleton, which looks quite cool.

In addition, there are a lot of water plants and unnamed aquatic plants in the bathtub, and there is a layer of mud and sand underneath. Judging from the roots under these water plants, they should all be alive.

Some plants are even nearly half a meter high, but because the water line is very low now, they have drooped down.

There are many ornamental fish in the fishing port, and black shrimps of various colors are crawling on the mud and sand, probably used to clean up garbage or algae.

"The water is coming!"

While observing, Li Chen had already brought in the water pipe connected to the tap outside, and placed it in an inconspicuous place in the fish tank. He then returned the same way: "I'm going to boil the water."

“This is my first time raising fish.”

Ouyang Xue found the power cord behind the fish tank and plugged it in.

With a "buzzing" sound, a beautiful light lit up on the top cover of the fish tank and the water circulating system started working.

"I remember they said the pump should not be turned on until it was almost full of water."

The water pump was turned off with a "click" and Ouyang Xue walked out from behind the table.

"Okay, Noer, go to work first."

"Oh……"

Holding the salted fish doll, I thought about it and handed the big salted fish to Xiaomo beside me.

"Wife, this is for you."

Xiaomo was silent for a moment: "You want me to use this at night, on you..."

"No, no, no, I just simply think Xiaomo will like it."

I quickly ran to the side: "That's it, I'm going to work first, love you."

"..."

……

No. 327 Timon: Akumatata

As Li Chen turned on the faucet outside, the gurgling water flowed into the fish tank through the water pipe, and the water level in the tank began to rise slowly.

The various ornamental fish in the fish tank, which seemed to be dying, became active again because of the influx of new water.

You can see that the temperature display above the fish tank is showing the current indoor temperature: 22.4°

"so beautiful……"

Even though I am a mature "uncle", I couldn't help but feel emotional about the scene in the fish tank.

Because this is really beautiful. What I usually see outside are basically some small fish tanks with nothing in them, just a few goldfish, but this one is full of tropical fish, colorful and strange-shaped. There are also beautiful corals and aquatic plants such as water grass at the bottom of the fish tank, as well as various strange-shaped stones.

Especially the landscaping of the "Dragon Valley" has that special atmosphere: there are curved peaks on both sides, a wide passage in the middle, and huge dragon bones on both sides.

This fish tank is more than two meters long. In the middle, there is a dragon sternum about one meter long, a curved tail bone about thirty centimeters long, and the dragon skull in the front.

Because the 2-meter-long side of the fish tank faces the lobby and the main entrance, almost all customers who come in can see the giant dragon skeleton lying on the soft sand at the bottom of the fish tank at first glance.

It seems that just by looking at this "Underwater Dragon Valley", you can imagine a grand and tragic story - the ancient dragon fought side by side with the human dragon rider, was defeated by the powerful enemy, lied that he needed to rest, found a quiet deep sea, and slept there forever. Decades later, only the skeleton of a dragon was left, telling the passing fish about his heroic deeds.

"This bone... should be very expensive, right?"

While waiting for the tap water to be filled into the fish tank, I subconsciously stretched out my hands, pressed them against the huge glass of the fish tank, and gazed at the landscape inside.

The height of the table used to support the fish tank is about 80 centimeters, which is about the same height as the computer desk used by ordinary people. However, 80 centimeters is nearly two-thirds of my height, and the depth of the fish tank itself is more than one meter, so even if I stand in front of the fish tank and stand on tiptoe, I cannot reach the top of the fish tank.

Being short is like this. This fish tank is probably just right for a tall guy like Su Yunjin. He can just stand on tiptoe and reach the top with his head, but I can't... It's better to say that because of my height of less than 1.4 meters, many things in daily life are like Mount Everest, insurmountable to me.

For example, some things placed higher in the kitchen or on the shelves, or this fish tank.

"It can be considered as a half-gift and half-sale from the former partners."

Ouyang Xue, who was standing next to her, finished setting up the water pump and lights, took out the manual and glanced at it, then glanced at a remote control on the fish tank stand: "Their store contract has expired, and they are moving to a new address. The new store is a bit small, so they thought about selling this fish tank. It just so happens that we are planning to set up a store here, so they sold it to us. This whole bunch of stuff only costs two thousand yuan."

Two thousand yuan?

I looked at the table under the fish tank next to me, then looked at the tropical fish swimming happily in it, and began to calculate the approximate price in my mind.

Such a big fish tank, with temperature control, lighting, water pumps and a lot of other stuff, should cost more than a thousand yuan, but others are selling it at a discount, so it’s only eight hundred yuan, and there are so many fish in it… one, two, three, four, five, how many fish must there be, it should also cost a few hundred yuan, and then there is this exquisite whole keel inside, and there are so many water plants…

Oh, yes, there are some small black shrimps near the keel. I remember that these shrimps are small and are similar to the small shrimps we caught by the river when we were young. They don’t have big claws and won’t attack these tropical fish. It may cost some money to raise these shrimps. In addition to the keel, there are a lot of artificial landscapes here, such as this big shell...

I bent down slightly and stared at a large shell near the dragon's head.

There should be a tube for transmitting gas hidden under this shell. The air drawn in from the fish tank gathers inside the shell. About every 10 seconds, the air will push the shell open and bubble up with a "gurgling" sound. Then the lid of the shell will merge again. It's really fun.

The fish tank is littered with small toys like these, and I estimate they cost several hundred dollars.

Add to that the table below which looks very expensive... the whole set is probably around four or five thousand yuan, and if it's only sold for two thousand yuan it's really a half sale and half giveaway.

"Puff-"

At this moment, I was lost in my thoughts and didn't notice a big tropical fish swimming behind the glass in front of me. Then, for some reason, the fish suddenly made a big jump in the pool, and its tail slapped on the glass in front of me, which scared me.

"Alas!"

[User "Mozambique" sent a comment: Nuoer is so stupid, she was even scared by this]

[User "Long Live Azeroth" sent a comment: This is what stupid loli is like. Even if she works in a coffee shop every day and becomes Elvis, fish can still ride on her head.]

"Nah."

Listening to the announcement in the headphones, in order to hide my embarrassment, I had to pull down the microphone and act as a commentator: "Ahem, um... this fish tank will be the signature decoration of our store from now on. When you come over, please don't feed the fish in it..."

Logically speaking, if you want to raise fish at home, you cannot just buy a tank and add tap water to the fish tank. The water quality of tap water is obviously different from that of the pond outside, and it also contains various disinfectants. It needs to be left for three or four days before it can be used to raise live fish. People in the industry call this behavior "water cultivation."

Similarly, when changing the water, you cannot take all the fish out of the fish tank and then pour out all the water and add tap water. You must retain at least one-third of the "original water", otherwise the creatures in the tank will get sick or die due to the drastic changes in water quality.

However, the tap water in Minami Nagi District mostly comes from nearby rivers, and does not need to be "purified" as much as those in big cities. In areas like Minami Nagi District, the water quality is relatively much better than other places. When I was living in a small apartment, I heard that some people put fish directly in the tap water and there was nothing wrong with it.

Cities near the sea have lots of water and rivers.

"Noel."

I was still explaining when Yin Xiamo came over. In my curious look, she picked me up like a princess without saying a word, and then threw me into the sky with great ease. Then she squatted down and caught me firmly with her shoulders.

Eh?

The world was spinning, and when I came to my senses, I was sitting on Xiaomo's shoulders. I felt like the whole world was much shorter. I lowered my head and said, "You, you, you...what are you doing?"

At this time, Xiaomo's head was between my legs. When I lowered my head, I could see the girl's smooth long hair and her legs wrapped in Gothic Lolita pantyhose and small leather shoes.

"Isn't it possible to see it now?"

Xiaomo walked towards the fish tank and motioned for me to look inside: "Here."

Eh?

[User "Illya's Magic Wand" posted a comment: Wow! Xiaomo is so heartwarming]

[User "Gun of Gungnir" posted a comment: This couple will never let me down. I come to the coffee shop's live broadcast room every day just to wait for this moment]

Well……

Although it's a bit embarrassing, I have to say that with Xiaomo's help, I can indeed see the appearance of the entire fish tank directly from above.

really beautiful...

"Meow?"

The noise in the hall soon attracted some kittens around, mostly rural cats. These kittens stared at the fish swimming in the fish tank in a trance. Some even jumped onto the table and scratched the glass screen.

[Are you really not worried about the cats destroying fish at night when you keep them in a cat cafe? ]

[This store knows how to decorate]

[I feel like it’s enough for Noer Miao to eat for a month]

"Hey, I'm not a cat!"

Listening to the increasingly outrageous barrage notification sounds coming from the headphones, I felt that I had seen enough and quickly patted Xiaomo on the shoulder: "Hurry, hurry, let me go down, there will be more customers soon."

Ye Yuqing came over at around 12 noon.

At that time, in addition to Ye Yuqing, there will also be some reporters from TV stations and various legendary "big shots" coming together.

At that time, the local TV station in Kamihama City will broadcast the entire process live, and other TV stations will also broadcast this "interview" afterwards. The nature of it is somewhat similar to "civilian construction". After interviewing us, Ye Yuqing and the press group will go to the commercial street and the Mianyun Commercial City behind it to take a walk and introduce to the general public the various buildings that are about to be built here.

As the entrance to the commercial street and a landmark in the surrounding area, the coffee shop has been gaining popularity online recently. Naturally, it became Ye Yuqing's first stop.

Of course, we don't need to do anything special to welcome Ye Yuqing and the press group. We just need to treat them the same as ordinary customers when they come in, answer whatever they ask, and then go about our own business.

As for the rest, Su Yunjin and his people will be responsible for solving it.

"Meow meow meow……"

"Okay stop scratching, these fish are not for you to eat."

After getting down from Xiaomo's shoulders, I picked up the cats that were increasingly surrounding the table one by one, and saw that the water in the fish tank was almost full. Together with Ouyang Xue, I closed the top cover and turned on the light of the fish tank with the remote control.

“There are actually six colors to choose from.”

Ouyang Xue took the remote control and tried the purple, red, green, blue, white and colored lights respectively. Each light effect had a different feel when shining down from the fish tank.

"It says here that if you turn on the lights too much, the algae will multiply quickly. So we should just turn off the lights after get off work."

Seeing that the work was almost done, Ouyang Xue closed the lid of the fish tank and took out several canned things from the box on the side: "This is fish food, feed it once a day. There is a small hole on the top cover that can be opened, and you can pour the fish food in. Nuoer, if you are not tall enough, Xiaomo will do this job in the future, or... find a small stool for you."

"Need not."

Yin Xiamo yawned and said, "I can do it, Nuo'er can just be in charge of being cute."

"What do you mean I'm responsible for being cute..."
