Chapter 403 Li Aiguo's Koi

Moreover, today's televisions are completely different from the large-screen color televisions of later generations. They are only a dozen inches in size, most of them are in black and white, and consume very little power.

Although Aurora International has successfully developed large-screen color TVs, it is still a luxury that only a few people can afford. More importantly, many areas have not even had electricity, and people still rely on candles or oil lamps for lighting.

Because of this, the monthly electricity bill is indeed quite limited, and people do not think that the electricity bill is that expensive. However, even so, everyone uses it sparingly, after all, they have all been through hard times.

However, the 1000 yuan electricity bill used by Li Aiguo at this moment is really jaw-dropping. Perhaps this is the huge difference between the rich and the poor. Whether in today's era or in the 21st century, the gap between the poor and the rich always exists.

"There's really no other way! I've tried to turn off the heater before, but it doesn't work. Once the temperature difference is too big, the koi will die, which makes Aiguo very sad."

Qin Jingru was obviously resentful of the huge electricity bill of nearly one thousand yuan per month, and expressed her helplessness and worries with a sad face.

"Can fish freeze to death? How do the fish in the pond survive the winter? Every winter I see the fish in the pond still jumping around... "

Qin Huairu heard what Qin Jingru said and asked a very ignorant question. It was not her fault. It was just that very few people raised koi in this era.

It can be said to be extremely rare. After all, people have just had their fill of food and have not yet reached the stage of pursuing spiritual enjoyment. They don’t even know what koi is, but many call them goldfish.

"Koi are very sensitive to temperature, especially with hundreds of them, big and small. If they are not heated and oxygenated 24 hours a day, they won't last long."

"Li Aiguo is so rich, if he dies, just buy another one. Fish are not worth much, a month's electricity bill can buy a lot of money, right?"

Qin Huairu seemed to be giving Qin Jingru some advice. She still felt that the electricity bill was too high. Ten thousand yuan a year could buy tens of thousands of kilograms of fish. What would it matter if a few died?

But after hearing Qin Huairu's words, Qin Jingru didn't say anything, but looked at her like a fool for a long time before explaining:

"Many of the fish here are very valuable, especially those rice-sized koi, which are all imported from abroad and carefully selected. They are very valuable."

After saying this, Qin Jingru paused before continuing:

"And Aiguo likes these koi very much. Every time he comes back, he will look at them for a long time and feed them personally. He treats them like his treasures. Money is not a concern at all."

Qin Jingru explained lightly, but it sounded like thunder to Qin Huairu's ears. Although Qin Jingru did not say how much the price was, it seemed to reveal that the price of these koi was not lower than the electricity bill, and might even be much higher.

The most important thing is that Li Aiguo likes these things. The saying "money can't buy my likes" probably refers to Li Aiguo. Men are like this many times.

Especially for men of Li Aiguo's age, raising dogs and fishing seem to be a must-do. There is even a saying in later generations:

As the saying goes, fishing will make you poor for three years, and collecting antiques will ruin your life. Motorcycles are a pitfall, and photography is a must-do. Once you learn how to chase a rabbit with a dog, you will never return. If you fall in love with an eagle, you will look at the sky with tears in your eyes, and you will go crazy if you play with pigeons.

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Qin Huairu still had some doubts on her face and asked:

"I see these koi are all sealed with glass. How do we feed them?"

Qin Huairu was indeed very puzzled, because as far as she could see, there was no opening in the bedroom for feeding fishes. All places were tightly sealed with thick glass panels.

Facing Qin Huairu's questions, Qin Jingru seemed very patient and meticulous. She smiled and explained:

"These are not ordinary glass, they are all made of acrylic! Acrylic not only has good light transmittance, allowing the fish to fully enjoy the sunlight;

And its bearing capacity is stronger than glass. More importantly, compared with heavy glass, acrylic is much lighter.

Just think about it, if you were to use glass to make such a large area of ​​floor, the weight would be incredible and it would be impossible to move it into the room easily.

In addition, a large number of load-bearing columns are needed to support it. Wouldn't the whole layout become ugly? But look here, aren't the number of load-bearing columns at the bottom relatively small? "

Qin Jingru spoke in a gentle tone and with a sincere attitude, without any sign of impatience.

Maybe it's because no one has communicated with her for a long time.

After all, in the company, as the boss's wife, she holds a high status and most others keep their distance from her. Naturally, few people dare to take the initiative to make friends with her.

The relationship between the people in the courtyard and Li Aiguo was quite tense.

Or maybe Li Aiguo simply looked down on these people. Li Aiguo even told her not to have any contact with them, so Qin Jingru was relatively obedient.

"Then how do you feed the fish?" Qin Huairu's curiosity grew stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help but ask closely.

"Just feed it outside. I'll take you to have a look."

As Qin Jingru spoke, she pointed towards the front of the bedroom and made a light "please" gesture to Qin Huairu.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly followed him and came to the bedroom door. It turned out that this place was facing the main door, but Qin Huairu did not notice this place when she entered the door just now. Maybe she was not interested in these trivial matters at that time.

In front of you is a pool of about ten square meters in size, surrounded by acrylic panels and about seventy centimeters high.

Although it is not high, it has excellent light transmission performance. Through this transparent wall, you can clearly see more than a dozen koi swimming in the pond. They are more than one meter long, with graceful postures, which are pleasing to the eye.

Compared to watching them indoors, appreciating these fish up close like this allows you to feel their beauty and agility more.

After all, when you are in the room you can only see the back of the koi, but here you can see the belly of the koi.

At least Li Aiguo feels that it is more comprehensive if viewed from the side. Of course, there are also many people who like to view it from above. It can only be said that each has its own charm.

The most important thing is that Li Aiguo’s yard is not made of mud, but is covered with marble floors, which looks extremely tidy.
