In the morning.
"Master, don't forget to bring something! I mean, don't forget to bring back local specialties! "
"Master, are you really going to bring this statue to Egypt?"
Wang Qian and Li Kun helped Zhang Zian pack up the Holy Cat statue as they asked at once.
Since the two of them were also responsible for the task of transporting finished aquariums to customers, they often had to pack up and reinforce the fragile aquariums, so they were getting more and more skilled.
Zhang Zian found a cardboard box and some Styrofoam to put the Holy Cat statue inside. He also found some waste newspapers and rolled them into a ball, stuffing them into the gap to prevent bumps.
In fact, the Holy Cat statue itself did not need to be so careful. It would be fine even if it was damaged on the way, since it was already of Iraqi quality. However, the airline required it to be reinforced, or else it could not be shipped. He could only do as he was told.
Today was the day of departure, and the flight was scheduled to take off at night, so there was no need to rush.
He would bring Fina and Famous to meet up with the other members of the expedition team at the airport, and then they would take the flight to Cairo together.
Fina definitely had to show up. This had been decided long ago, and Famous was too famous. It might be targeted by the paparazzi, so the two of them could only endure the rush of the journey.
It was not the first time that Famous had been shipped as a pet. With psychological and physical preparation, it would stop drinking and eating at appropriate times to avoid its own feces and urine on the flight.
Fina would definitely not tolerate being locked in a cage as a pet, but it was lucky. Binhai University had already issued a scientific research certificate, proving that it was a special animal needed for scientific research. It could accompany the expedition team on the flight, and it even had its own seat.
The other elfins would sleep in their phones, and when they woke up, they would already be in Egypt.
After a lot of effort, the Holy Cat statue was finally packed up. Wang Qian and Li Kun even put a wooden frame on the outside of the cardboard box to secure it. There would definitely be no problems.
Zhang Zian wiped the sweat off his nose. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. The long midsummer was coming, and he would soon have to go to a tropical area that was much hotter than here.
He and the male staff had already changed into short-sleeved shirts, while the two female staff were still wearing long sleeves.
"Yes, I've been thinking about it, and I still feel that it's not very auspicious to leave the Holy Cat statue in the shop, so I plan to send it back to its hometown. It just so happens that there's a small museum there that's willing to accept it, so I might as well do them a favor in exchange for their strong cooperation in this expedition." He told the reason that he had made up in advance. Otherwise, he knew that with his personality, if he said that he would give the things away for free, the staff would definitely not believe him.
"Master, you still believe in these things?" Li Kun raised a small question. After all, Zhang Zian usually did not care about auspiciousness. Otherwise, he would not have accepted the Holy Cat statue as a gift.
Zhang Zian glared at him. "You talk too much! If you believe it, it exists. If you don't, it doesn't. Do you understand? "
Lu Yiyun continued, "It's been here for a long time, but I'm actually not used to it. I always feel that it's eerie. Thankfully, there are always other people around during the day. If I were alone … I definitely wouldn't dare to stay here alone. It's better to send him away. "
"Well, I won't say anything else. Take good care of the house, and I will bring gifts back," Zhang Zian said as he dusted off the dirt on his hands.
"Don't worry, Master. We will definitely be fine!" Wang Qian patted his chest and promised.
"Store manager, can we drive the assault boat out to sea to see the whales?" When Jiang Feifei heard that Zhang Zian was leaving today, she also ran over from next door. Anyway, the customer flow next door was much lower than the pet shop, especially in the morning. There was no one at all.
Zhang Zian nodded. "Just be careful."
The staff could now take charge of things on their own. Even if Zhang Zian was not there, they would not cause trouble. Rather, it could be said that they were quite looking forward to Zhang Zian going on a business trip, because he had tacitly agreed that they could reduce their working hours, take the assault boat out to sea to play, and go whale watching.
"Right, while I'm away, pay more attention to the surrounding dog poisoning incidents," he instructed. "Be especially careful not to let the dogs in our shop be poisoned to death."
The staff expressed that they understood.
There was nothing else to be said, so Zhang Zian went upstairs to pack his luggage.
When he came to the second floor, the elfins were all there, and they all had varying degrees of expectations for this trip to Egypt.
Richard was chattering away, ready to show off his Arabic skills in Egypt.
"Quack! Is my jade chariot ready? "
The so-called jade chariot was nothing more than a birdcage covered with white gauze. The birdcage was not big, and the cage door was removed so that it could enter and exit on its own.
Zhang Zian ignored it and asked Snowy Lionet, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to shave your fur short? "
Snowy Lionet grimaced and said gloomily, "I want to accompany Your Majesty at all times, but I can't bear to part with my fur …"
Fina shook its head. "It's okay. You can stay. It's just for a few days."
Zhang Zian said, "If you really want to go, but you don't want to shave your fur, then there's a compromise. You can stay in the phone most of the time, and I'll only let you out when it's cool indoors. What do you think? "
Snowy Lionet had no choice but to accept this second-best solution.
"Pi, I'm going to pack my luggage now. You should also turn off the computer and get ready to go," he saw that Pi was still typing, so he reminded it.
"Zhi zhi?"
Pi gestured with its hands, a little surprised. Did it want to go with them?
"It's best if we go together. After we go, you can type in the hotel. It won't delay the update," Zhang Zian advised. "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles. Don't shut yourself in. Although you can find out everything from books, it's better to use your own eyes to see, your own ears to hear, and your own body to feel. This is more real than what the books tell you, right? "
"Zhi zhi."
Pi hesitated for a moment, but was finally convinced by him. It nodded to show that it understood, then saved the unfinished document, turned off the laptop, and handed it to Zhang Zian along with the power cord for him to pack.
In fact, Zhang Zian persuaded it to go with them mainly because he had left Pi alone in the shop. As a result, the Holy Cat statue had suddenly disappeared, which made him very worried for Pi. He decided that no matter where they went in the future, he would try to persuade Pi to go with them.
Without the Holy Cat statue, a statue of the Dog God might appear. After all, the ancient Egyptians were also very fond of dogs. He had seen a mural of an ancient Egyptian man feeding his beloved dog water mouth to mouth because he didn't have a cup.
Moreover, Anubis was a jackal with a human body. The so-called jackal was not a real wolf, but a wild dog looking for carrion in the graveyard.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, everyone get ready. We're leaving immediately!"
