When the netizens in the live broadcast room saw the scene just now, they started to comment one after another. It turned out that many people had similar experiences when they were young, seeing stalls selling dyed chicks at the gates of elementary schools or junior high schools.
Because it was really cheap, many people had bought it, but without exception, those who didn't live for more than three days were dying without food or water on the second day, and their bodies were already stiff on the third day. Ten or twenty years had passed, but everyone who had bought it firmly remembered it. They still remembered the sadness of holding the chick in their hands when it died.
What followed was the condemnation and scolding of the unscrupulous peddler. Some of the agitated audience even said that they would search for the peddler to find out where he lived. Then, they would splash paint in the middle of the night. Didn't you dye your chick? Then, we will dye your house!
There were all kinds of pets around, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water … Snowy was so busy that she asked Zhang Zian for help whenever she saw a pet she didn't know.
Deng Jie had been here several times when she bought dogs, so she was impressed by the size of the dog market. At this time, she kept looking around, trying to find the dog dealer who had cheated her. However, the dog market was too big, and there were too many people moving around, so she couldn't find him.
Famous's appearance was that of a common German shepherd, which wasn't rare in the dog market, so it didn't attract much attention. It followed Zhang Zian calmly, and occasionally paid attention to Snowy's movements.
This was a good opportunity for Richard to show off, but it was too cold. Richard hid in its hood, only poking out its small head, curiously and pityingly looking at its fellow parrots.
Zhang Zian knew almost nothing about parrots before, but since he went to the Phoenix House, he had learned a little about them. Along the way, he saw several stalls selling parrots. Basically, there were only two kinds of parrots, green tiger skin and black phoenix skin, which were the most common and the cheapest ones. The prices ranged from dozens of yuan to two hundred yuan. Guo Dongyue had come to the wrong place to find a red-headed peony parrot …
Parrots were too complicated. Parrots with the same body but different fur colors, such as green tiger skin and feathered tiger skin, could be nearly a hundred times more expensive. Zhang Zian wondered if anyone had thought of dyeing parrots in this way …
Zhang Zian was walking and talking with Deng Jie about how she had been cheated in the past. Snowy, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and turned around to wave at him. "Mr. Store Manager, come over here. There are cats for sale."
Hearing that it was a cat stall, Zhang Zian cheered up and quickly walked over.
In front of Snowy, there were several iron cages of different sizes, and there were one or two kittens in each cage.
Outside the dog market, there were people selling dyed chicks, grass goldfish, and rabbits. They all took the route of small profits but quick turnover, and there would be a new customer every few minutes. The further into the dog market, the more expensive the pets became. The customers also became cautious. They squatted in front of a certain stall for a long time and thought about it before deciding whether to buy or not. After all, no one's money grew on trees.
A man and two women were squatting or standing in front of the cat stall. They were all young people, and their eyes were fixed on the kittens in the iron cage. They seemed to like them very much.
The stall owner kept soliciting customers. Seeing Snowy, he greeted her enthusiastically, "Beauty, do you like American Shorthair? It's a home-bred American Shorthair cat. It's smart and clever. Buy one! "
Snowy squatted beside the other two girls, pointed the camera at the kittens in the cage, and observed them with great interest. A young man who seemed to be watching from the side saw Snowy's live broadcast from the side. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Zian, he swallowed his words.
"Boss, is this an American Shorthair?" Snowy asked.
The kittens in the cage were lively and adorable. They had round eyes, black tiger spots, and their four pure white paws looked like they were wearing white gloves. They opened their little pink mouths and meowed, looking at Little Snow from across the cage.
The cat vendor couldn't recognize the international brand clothes she was wearing, but he could recognize the latest iPhone in her hand and the Nike shoes on her feet. Coupled with her delicate little face and tender little hands, he knew that she was a rich person. It was very likely that she was a fool with too much money. His attitude towards her was obviously different from that of the other two girls next to her.
Without waiting for Snowy's request, he took the initiative to open one of the cages, took out the most beautiful kitten, and handed it to her. The two girls next to her were very jealous, but they couldn't do anything about it. One of them wanted to leave, but was stopped by the other, who meant that if Snowy didn't buy it, they would buy it.
"Come on, touch it!" He said happily, "This is an authentic American Shorthair. It's completely different from those cheap cats. It's very obedient and very smart. It's imported from the United States! This one looks good, and it can be sold for more than 4,000 yuan in a pet shop! "
Snowy held the kitten in her arms and looked at it from left to right. She really thought it was very cute. Its two big eyes were very bright, and its pink mouth opened and closed, as if it was asking for a kiss. If she came by herself, she might have bought it on the spot...
Seeing that she couldn't put it down, the vendor laughed and said, "I'm not a regular here. It's because my family can't afford it anymore, so I took it out to sell. I'm really reluctant! Beauty, if you like it, you can take it for 3,000 yuan! I'll give you the cage too! "
Zhang Zian and Deng Jie looked at each other. The vendor's words were very similar to the one who cheated Deng Jie. They both said that their family couldn't afford it anymore, so they took advantage of people's trust in domestic pets to deceive people.
Although Snowy liked this kitten very much, she didn't forget the purpose of this trip. She also knew that the dog market was full of dirty tricks, but since Zhang Zian was behind her, she was not afraid of being cheated, so she learned to bargain, "Boss, 3,000 yuan is a bit expensive. Can you make it any cheaper?"
The vendor pondered for a moment, and said as if he was cutting a piece of meat, "If you really want it, 2,500 yuan! I can't go any lower! "
He glanced around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell others that I bought it for 2,500 yuan. Otherwise, people will think that I'm selling it at a low price and affect their business. I'm telling you, I don't expect to make money from this. I just want to find a good home for these kittens. "
Little Snow nodded her head in acknowledgment. She had been to Zhang Zian's pet shop several times, and under the influence of what she saw and heard, she was somewhat knowledgeable. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. The kitten in her arms seemed to be a bit too small and light, even smaller than the four to six-month-old kittens sold in Zhang Zian's shop.
"Boss, how old is this cat? I'm afraid it's too small to feed, "she asked.
"Six months old. Don't worry, this cat has thick skin and is easy to raise. Just feed it some cat food, and it will survive. If you buy it, I can give you two packs of cat food. These two packs of cat food will cost hundreds of yuan in a pet shop. "The vendor was persuasive, and every sentence made Snowy feel like she was taking advantage of him.
Snowy remembered that Zhang Zian had said that she couldn't buy kittens that were too small or hadn't been weaned yet. Such kittens could not survive without their mothers, and without being taught by their mothers, they might not have enough social training, so they might have some bad habits. She tried to put her gloved left hand in front of the kitten's mouth and shook it. The kitten, which looked very obedient, opened its mouth and bit her. Fortunately, there was a layer of glove, so there was no bite or pain.
"What? Boss, why does your kitten bite? "she asked seriously with a straight face.
The vendor laughed, "You put your hand in front of its mouth, how can it not bite? It thinks it's a furball or something. It's okay, when it grows up and gets familiar with you, it won't bite. No matter how you touch it, it won't bite. "
"Is that so?" Snowy was confused. She hadn't heard Zhang Zian talk about this, so she didn't dare to say that the vendor was lying. She could only quietly look back at Zhang Zian, as if asking for help.
Zhang Zian didn't say anything because he wanted to avoid alerting the cat vendor. He wanted to hear how many lies the cat vendor had prepared. At this time, Snowy was out of tricks, so he had to stand up.
"Let me see." He took the kitten from Snowy's hand.
After a few glances, he understood, and deliberately said, "Boss, your kitten is not six months old, right?"
The vendor had already noticed him, but he didn't know if he came with Snowy, so he didn't greet him. He responded indifferently, "Soon."
"No, your kitten is at most three months old, maybe not yet. It hasn't even started to grow its baby teeth." He held the kitten, gently opened its lips, and let Snowy take pictures of its teeth.
"These are not baby teeth, they are adult teeth." The vendor frowned, gave a look to the young man next to him, and insisted, "Do you know how to look or not? If you don't, put the cat down. Don't talk nonsense and affect my business. "
Zhang Zian ignored him and explained to Snowy, "Kittens generally start to grow their teeth when they are three or four months old, and all of them will grow by six months. During the growth period, the gums will be red and swollen. You see, the gums are still normal, which means it is less than three months old."
"It left its mother at such a young age..." Snowy said with distress. She thought that she couldn't leave her mother at this age, and this kitten was forced to be separated from its mother when it was less than three months old...
"That's not the point." Zhang Zian shook his head. "It's okay if it's too young, but the problem is that it's not an American Shorthair at all. It's a Dragon Li."
As soon as he said that, the vendor's face changed. The two girls next to him also widened their eyes in surprise. They whispered something to each other, doubting Zhang Zian's words. They had intended to leave because of the vendor's differential treatment of Snowy, but now they wanted to stay and see what was going on.
The young man, who had been silent, silently strolled to the side, as if he had lost interest. He took out his mobile phone, entered the "Dog Market Trading WeChat Group, verification is required to join the group", and sent a message.
"Everyone, be alert. Don't talk nonsense. It seems that someone is here to make trouble."
