Although Snowy was lively, cheerful, and unpretentious, and people often ignored the fact that she was a gentle girl, she was indeed a gentle girl. She had never liked caterpillars since she was a child.
In the villa area where her family lived, excluding the area of the artificial lake, the green coverage was almost 90%. There were trees everywhere, but too many trees was not necessarily a good thing. For example, when summer came, a gust of wind could cause caterpillars to fall from the trees. If they fell into the collar … It was disgusting to think about it.
So after summer, she tried to avoid passing under the trees. Even if she did pass, she would cover her collar and run quickly.
She had just heard Zhang Zian say to the fat boy that this caterpillar was the larva of a swallowtail butterfly. She was surprised and impressed. He was good at identifying the species of cats and dogs, but he could actually recognize the species of caterpillars? This … this … how many caterpillars had he seen?!
However, she still had some doubts. She wondered if Zhang Zian was fooling the fat boy. After all, he had a history of fooling people.
There were many netizens in the live broadcast room. There were men and women, young and old, and they came from all walks of life. When she came to the pet shop in the past, some of the audience also knew a lot about pets, but not as much as Zhang Zian. This was understandable. They were doing this for a living.
So she planned to shoot the caterpillar into the camera and see if anyone in the audience could confirm its species. That way, they would know if Zhang Zian was fooling them. If she asked him, he would definitely not admit that he was fooling them.
However, considering the female audience in the live broadcast room, she warned them first, "Next, I will focus the camera on the caterpillar that Mr. Store Manager mentioned just now. Those who are timid or hate caterpillars, please close your eyes or block the screen."
The female audience was reminded and looked away, or put down their phones to do other things. However, the curiosity of the male audience was aroused. They were all urging Snowy to shoot faster and more clearly.
She raised the phone, put it close to the caterpillar, and gave it a specific shot.
"Wow! It's disgusting! "
"I overestimated my ability to take it!"
"Hey! It's too close, Snowy! "
Some of the audience could not stand it. It was as if a huge caterpillar had suddenly stuck to the screen.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Snowy apologized again and again and took the phone further away.
"Mr. Store Manager said that this is the larva of a swallowtail butterfly. Can anyone confirm it?" she asked.
Butterflies, moths, or both of them could be collectively referred to as Lepidoptera insects. Speaking of which, they were also a category of pets. They could be considered as "insects" in the "flowers, birds, fish, and insects" category. However, they were a very small minority. Not to mention cats and dogs, even aquatic pets were more popular than them.
Even so, many people raised silkworms when they were young. Whether it was schools organizing primary school students to raise silkworms or parents raising silkworms to stimulate their children's interest, many people raised silkworms with relish. The silkworms that were praised by poets would eventually transform into moths.
Things that were not disgusting when one was a child were often disgusting when one became an adult. For example, many children liked to poke caterpillars with branches, and even younger children liked to play with mud. But who had ever seen an adult poke caterpillars with branches and play with mud?
The only contact an ordinary adult could have with a silkworm was … fried silkworm pupae?
If the silkworm baby and the swallowtail butterfly larva were placed together, perhaps the swallowtail butterfly larva would look slightly better, but the silkworm baby would make everyone think that it was cuter.
Although the audience usually made a lot of noise, at times like this, no one could tell if it was a swallowtail butterfly larva or not.
If someone could recognize it at a glance, they would have already sent a message. But this time, it was not until a few minutes later that people gave affirmative answers. Obviously, they had gone to Baidu to find out.
Snowy asked in surprise, "Mr. Store Manager, I didn't expect you to know about insects."
Zhang Zian said modestly, "I don't know much about it. I just know a little bit. I'm still not as good as an entomologist. If I have nothing to do, I will read more books. Anyway, it's not a burden to have more skills. "
This kind of humble words was the most hateful, and it attracted wave after wave of condemnation from the audience.
"I know! I know! "A netizen rushed to answer." Mr. Store Manager Sexual Harassment is studying the yamete butterfly! "
"If there are any yamete butterfly larvae, I want a dozen!"
Snowy was even more impressed. She asked, "Mr. Store Manager, are you going to expand your business?"
She naturally thought so.
"No," Zhang Zian answered simply.
"Huh? Why? "Snowy was puzzled.
"Because no one wants to buy it. It's a waste of time and energy, and you can't make money."
This was the fact that Zhang Zian confirmed after research and investigation.
The insect market was too small. The number of followers on Baidu's insect bar was less than the number of followers on the Ragdoll bar. Insects were the largest animal population in the world. If he wanted to do an insect business, the energy invested was not proportional to the output. He was not that stupid.
"Oh, the point is the last sentence. It really is an answer that is very characteristic of Mr. Store Manager." Snowy suddenly understood.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by characteristic?" Zhang Zian couldn't pretend not to hear.
Snowy laughed and did not answer this question.
She did not answer, but the netizens answered for her.
"Don't you have any idea what your specialty is?"
"You only know how to make money all day long. Show some ideals and passion!"
"You are a coward when you need to show off. Shouldn't you be shouting that you want to lead China's insect industry into the World Cup?"
Zhang Zian looked at the screen and saw the netizens' bullet screen. They disdainfully said: Can ideals and passion make a living? Don't just stand there and talk!
What the hell was the World Cup? It's not like I've transmigrated into the world of young footballers …
It was important to emphasize that he had never studied the Yazi butterfly.
After standing at the door and talking for a while, Snowy proposed to go into the store to see the local Egyptian specialties and taste the fresh Egyptian dates.
It just so happened that the staff had cleaned up the store, so Zhang Zian invited her into the store.
At this time, there was a sudden heart-wrenching cry not far away. Not only Zhang Zian and Snowy, but the pedestrians who passed by here early in the morning all looked in the direction of the cry.
He saw the little fat boy stumbling over from the direction of the green field. He opened his mouth wide and cried desperately. His pen and composition book had long been thrown away. His snot and tears were smeared on his face. His cries were full of vigor and were deafening.
Zhang Zian and Snowy looked at each other in confusion. What was going on with this little fat boy? Did someone bully him?
