Walking fish can make money.

For a magical fish, he started his business from the roof of more than ten square meters of his own house. In order to explore the secret of fish growing up, he moved away from the crowd and moved the farm to the border, but encountered a storm of trust. Wild fish, only two fingers wide, but he raised a slap, even unwanted fish scales, fish bones in his hands have become a hot thing. To see how the unusual Iwate Kanfan digs gold from the walking fish and starts a successful business.

The beautiful Xishuangbanna contains many unknown secrets, and in this fish pond, farmers are going to catch a very special kind of fish here today. The reason why it is special is that in the eyes of the locals, this kind of fish is magical.

Farmers: it can climb mountains and trees.

Farmer Sun Jianlun: we take it to the ground and smash it hard, it will not die, it is still quite magical.

His name is Yan Kanfan, a young man of the Dai nationality. When the reporter went to interview, Yan Kanfan took us to the farmer's house to buy this kind of fish, which had been raised for four months. as soon as he arrived at the fish pond, the reporter saw the boys casting a net to catch fish. Dai girls were anxiously waiting on the shore, putting on gloves and carrying fish baskets, waiting to catch fish in the pond after fishing in the fishing net. Reporters are also curious about how amazing this kind of fish is. After more than 20 minutes, the first batch of fish finally came ashore, they stayed in the bamboo basket, restless, each wanted to jump out, the reporter also saw a very shocking scene.

Iwate Kanfan: look how amazing our fish is, how fast we can walk.

Reporter: ouch, running so fast.

Iwankafan: it's too fast. Look, it knows which way the water is. If it smells it, it goes that way.

As the locals say, the fish has been crawling in the grass since it left the water, just like walking. Although the fish has a small head, it is ferocious, and other fish can scratch its back directly, but its fins will open when it is nervous or angry, and it is easy to get hurt if it is not caught in his way, Iwankafan said.

Interviewer: (if) can I catch fish easily?

Iwankafan: I'll teach you, like me, the first thing to do is to press (fish gills) down, and you see (so) there will be no problem.

Reporter: we have to catch it from the beginning to the opposite side. I'll try it. First, hold the gills on both sides. It's running all the time. Let's do it again. It's not easy to catch this fish. It must be like this. Grab both gills first. That's all right. This fish is so strong.

Iwate Kanfan: docile. You've subdued me.

The fish is more than 20 centimeters long, but it has been raised for more than four months. This walking fish is called Baxili locally, which is a kind of indigenous fish in Xishuangbanna.

Iwankafan: people who don't know think this is tilapia, it looks very common, but it has characteristics, there is a little bit of tail here, and there is one thing on this Gill, that is, our species in Xishuangbanna.

Iwangfan bought it from farmers at a price of 20 yuan per kilogram, took it to his own farm for another four months, and put it on the market at a price of 50 yuan per kilogram. In the local area, when it comes to Xiao Yan and his fish, people give a thumbs up.

Farmer Yanyan: our eldest brother, the eldest brother who takes the lead to get rich.

Farmer Wu Yingguo: without him, no one would have developed the artificial farming of Baxili, so he created it.

Fish webmaster: this kind of fish is on the verge of extinction. No one keeps this kind of fish. After 2010, Iwamfan led everyone to develop this aquaculture. As people say, he is the first man, the father of Baxili.

In 2010, Iwate Kanfan realized the artificial breeding of Basili. Now, many local people want to keep it, and this kind of fish fry is only available in Yankanfan. Every June, Iwangfan gives the fry to the farmers of the cooperative for free, and the fry he breeds is the object of everyone's competition.

Farmer Sun Jianlun: robbing, a lot of people didn't get it. I was very lucky. I got four thousand.

Wu Yingguo: the fry is regulated by him. If he doesn't stipulate when to get the fry, you can't get it. We also want to raise more and earn more.

Iwate Kanfan: I've been having fun secretly. I'm going to be rich soon.

How much ability does Iwate Kanfan have, raising his fry will certainly make money? What kind of fish are these strange fish that can run, jump and be robbed by everyone? How did Iwate Kanfan succeed in starting a business with this kind of fish? The next day, Iwakanfan took the reporter to a place where he said it meant a lot to him, and it was here that he made a great discovery.

Interviewer: is this one of your secret bases?

Iwankafan: yes, all the fish I collected were put on top.

Interviewer: slow down. It's not easy to get up. At that time, you climbed like this every day?

Iwate Kanfan: yes, I climb like this every day.

This place is located on the roof of a three-story building, less than ten square meters, is the beginning of Iwankafan fish farming.

Iwankafan: my first pond, my first base is here, such a small space, on the roof, the first year I dare not tell anyone, only very good friends know that I am trying to raise, afraid that others know, afraid that others raise first.

In 2009, Iwate Kanfan, who is running a hotel and gas station in Mengla County, discovered a business opportunity to raise a kind of fish that had never been raised locally. He used his roof as a fish pond and wanted to start breeding secretly. At that time, this kind of fish was rarely seen in the market, and Iwankafan only appeared in river ditches and streams when he was a child. Because of his small size and many fish bones, the local people also disposed of the fish as miscellaneous fish. No dealers bought it, and his family opposed it.

Brother-in-law: in our place, tilapia and grass carp are so big, but this fish is not big. I have doubts about what you have raised.

Dealer: it's worthless, and some people don't want to catch it even if they see it.

Iwankafan: my parents said, son, are you out of your mind? such a hard fish, so small, who will eat it, and how to raise it.

Everyone doesn't like and doesn't want to raise fish, but Iwate Kanfan feels that he has found a treasure. It turns out that in 2009, Yan Kanfan saw a kind of fish that sells for 3,000 yuan per kilogram in Yunnan.

Iwankafan: I think there is a great business opportunity for people to eat 3,000 yuan a kilogram, isn't it? if I had this fish like him, it would not be so expensive. The aquaculture industry in Xishuangbanna is relatively rich, but no one has developed it, and no one has found it.

The fish worth more than 3000 yuan gave Yan Kanfan an inspiration. He set his eye on a kind of indigenous fish that was on the verge of disappearing. He felt that this kind of fish had Yunnan characteristics and could taste it, so he decided to be the first to breed on a large scale in the area. He asked relatives and friends to collect the fish in Yunnan, Guangxi and other places. In order to quickly receive the fish and breed, he and his brother-in-law went to the farmers' market every day to recover every fish that appeared at any cost.
