The next day.
Day and night alternated. Summer was short and winter was long.
It was getting later and later in the morning. It was getting harder and harder to get out of bed. The bed was like a black hole with a strong attraction. Once you got in, you didn't want to get out.
Maybe it was because of what happened on the Wang Haige BBS yesterday, Zhang Zian had a nightmare. He dreamed that he finally found a girlfriend, a very beautiful girlfriend. He couldn't wait to do something shameful, but when he lifted up her skirt … F * ck! It was bigger than mine!
Then he woke up in shock!
When he woke up, he was shocked again. Aunt Liu's American Shorthair was squatting on top of him, right on his chest. No wonder he had a nightmare. Zhang Zian carried it under the bed. Fina was not on its princess bed. The door was open. Fina was probably patrolling its territory early in the morning.
"Damn it. It doesn't even know to close the door when it goes out. Its tail is so long …" he complained in a low voice while putting on his clothes.
After washing up, he went downstairs. Xinghai was already up, running around the shop energetically. Old Time Tea was still asleep. It was catching up on sleep, probably because it had stayed up all night watching TV.
He counted the number of pets. More than half of this batch of pets had been sold. He planned to call the breeding farm later and ask them to send another batch of pets over.
Since his cats could do stunts, most of the customers came for the cats, while the people who bought the dogs mostly came for the reputation and trust. After all, his dogs were more expensive than other pet shops. Without stunts, the dogs would definitely not sell as well as the cats, and the profits would not be as good as the cats. There was nothing he could do about it.
However, it didn't mean that he would only sell cats in the future. His shop was a pet shop, not a cattery. If the customers had a fixed impression that this shop only sold cats, it would not be good for the future expansion of his business.
As usual, he cleaned, disinfected, and cleaned up the dog feces. Then he opened the door to ventilate the shop, which had been stuffy all night, and officially started the day's business.
Unexpectedly, the first customer of the day came unexpectedly early.
"Is the boss here?"
Even before Little Celery and Sun Xiaomeng showed up, a girl with braids knocked on the glass door.
Zhang Zian was about to go out to the breakfast stand across the street, and he happened to bump into the girl in front of the shop. Fina could only eat fish and meat, but he was still used to eating traditional, starchy breakfast.
"I'm the boss. Please come in." He turned sideways and invited her in. Breakfast could wait.
Zhang Zian brightened the lights in the room so that she could observe.
Under the light, the girl's eyes were very sharp, unlike the other customers who looked slightly confused when they entered the door. Zhang Zian felt that the girl either knew a lot about pets, or she had done her homework before coming here.
For customers who had their own opinions, Zhang Zian adhered to the principle of "the more you talk, the more mistakes you make." If the customer did not ask, he would not speak.
She glanced around the shop, ignoring the dogs in the display cases and focusing on the cats playing on the floor.
This batch of pets was almost sold out. There were only an American Shorthair, a British Shorthair, and a Shandong Chausie left.
Her eyes only stayed on each cat for two seconds, then she looked around the shop again. This time, she noticed Fina, who was on the cat tree, and Old Time Tea, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a mandarin jacket.
Old Time Tea was still sleeping. However, cats were light sleepers. From its slightly trembling ears, Zhang Zian knew that it was in a half-asleep state and could wake up at any time.
Fina stared down at her with a strange look in its eyes.
"Boss, this one …" She pointed at Fina.
"This one is not for sale," Zhang Zian interrupted her.
The girl frowned slightly, looking a little disappointed. She looked at Old Time Tea from afar. Although Old Time Tea was wearing a mandarin jacket, she could still recognize that it was a Dragon Li from the pattern. She immediately lost interest.
"Boss, are these the only cats you have? Nothing else? "she asked.
Zhang Zian replied, "There will be another batch delivered today. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait or come back tomorrow."
"Another batch will be sent? What kind of cats are in that batch? "
"What kind do you want?" he asked, avoiding the question.
"Do you have dolls?"
Zhang Zian paused for a second and replied, "No."
"Oh." The girl did not show any disappointment. She asked again, "Do you have Scottish folds?"
"Sorry, no."
The girl nodded, "You mean there are only some common cats?"
"Yes." Zhang Zian thought for a second and added, "For now."
This was another reason why Zhang Zian did not dare to only sell cats. His cats and dogs came from the Pets' Home Breeding Base, which used to have a large store with all kinds of pets. However, they only had some common breeds, and they didn't have any new breeds like the Ragdoll.
"What a pity. I will go to other places." The girl nodded at him and walked away.
"Have a safe trip," Zhang Zian said politely.
Fina stared at the girl's back and said confusedly, "This woman has the smell of a lot of cats."
Zhang Zian also watched the girl leave. He smiled and said, "Because she is in the same industry."
"What do you mean?" Fina looked at him.
"It's a literal meaning. I guess she is either a pet shop owner or a cattery owner. The latter is more likely. " Zhang Zian stretched and put the Bluetooth player on the steps in front of the shop. "There is a saying in China: People in the same industry are enemies. She probably heard about my shop and came to investigate. She found that my shop was not a threat to her cattery, so she left. "
"This is my sacred palace," Fina said with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, okay. It is your sacred palace." Zhang Zian thought that he was a very generous person and would not argue with a kitten about this. Anyway, his name was on the property ownership certificate. He would rather have the time to argue with a kitten.
…
Qin Jing walked for a while, took out her phone from her bag and dialed a number.
"It's me. I just went to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. I will be back soon."
"Yes, the shop that has been very popular on the Internet recently."
"I asked the owner. His shop only has some common breeds like British Shorthair and American Shorthair. There are no Ragdolls or Scottish folds."
"Him? I guess he probably guessed what I do. So what if he guessed it? I don't plan to hide it anyway. "
"No, I didn't see his cats perform stunts. Don't worry. As long as we keep the high-end cats, he will not be a threat to us. "
"That's true … Never mind." She wanted to say something about the golden cat, but she swallowed her words.
"Well, okay. I will hang up now."
Qin Jing hung up the phone and felt relieved.
