There were many colors of Pomeranians. The mainstream colors were generally white, black, brown, reddish-brown, and cream. In addition to these, there were also variegated colors. Cream and variegated Pomeranians were not very popular.
Zhang Zian estimated that if he guessed correctly, the original color of this Pomeranian dyed reddish-brown should be variegated or cream. After it was bought by the vendor at a low price, it was dyed into the more popular reddish-brown color for sale.
Generally speaking, young people in the city bought more white Pomeranians, while in the urban-rural areas, reddish-brown Pomeranians were more popular because they were more recognizable than the other colors. If strictly distinguished, the customers of dog markets, pet shops, cat houses, and kennels were different.
Unlike other dogs, the real reddish-brown Pomeranian's hair was inconspicuous before it was about one year old. In fact, this was a layer of fetal hair. When it slowly grew up and shed this layer of fetal hair, it would grow beautiful reddish-brown hair, just like the sublimation of an ugly duckling to a white swan.
Zhang Zian's shop did not have reddish-brown Pomeranians. As far as he knew, many pet shops and kennels did not have reddish-brown Pomeranians, because the customers did not buy them. I asked for a reddish-brown one, why did you give me a gray one? Even if he patiently explained to the customers and assured them that the dog would turn reddish-brown after a few months, the customers would not believe him. After all, the word "integrity" was not valuable these days.
Since he could not explain it clearly, he might as well not sell it. Why bother himself with it?
The Pomeranian in front of him was probably only three or four months old, but it had striking reddish-brown hair. If the possibility of genetic mutation was ruled out, it was definitely dyed.
The process of dyeing a Pomeranian was not the same as dyeing a chick. It required a brush to be dipped in the dye, which was a little technical. Of course, it was impossible to use any high-end dyeing agent. It was most likely to be a strong industrial dyeing agent, which was cheap and abundant.
When the middle-aged woman next to him heard this, she subconsciously rubbed her palms on her pants.
No one could imagine that the Pomeranian, which was alive and kicking in front of them, was suffering from both disease and poison. If it were not for the large amount of painkillers to suppress the pain, it would probably have fallen to the ground and twitched.
Zhang Zian sighed and said, "Dogs are different from chickens. They sell slowly. This kind of dyed dog is probably only sold on weekends when there is a lot of traffic. It just so happens that we're here."
The middle-aged woman was secretly scared. If Zhang Zian and the others hadn't happened to come over, she would have bought the dog that was about to die. She would have lost money, complained about it, and felt sad …
Deng Jie was also sad. She had been cheated last time when she bought a Shiba Inu or a Pomeranian. The dog market was too complicated.
Liu XX was so anxious that his face and neck turned red, and he kept cursing. If he had sold this Pomeranian just now, he would have earned more than a thousand yuan. If he had sold it, he would have lost a few hundred yuan, which was a difference of two thousand yuan! Seeing that the weather was not good today and that it could snow at any time, he guessed that there would not be any customers in the afternoon. How could he not be anxious …
The middle-aged woman was not easy to bully. When she heard Liu XX scolding the locust while pointing at the mulberry tree, she was angry and immediately scolded him. The two of them refused to give in to each other, and the war of words kept escalating. The content of the argument was colorful, and the vulgar language was endless. Zhang Zian was not interested in their quarrel. He patted Snowy on the shoulder and winked at Deng Jie. The three of them left quietly in the chaos.
"Today was an eye-opener for me," Deng Jie shook her head and smiled bitterly, "In the future, I would rather not buy a pet than come to the dog market to buy one."
"You can't be too absolute. There must be legitimate vendors in the dog market, and there are people who really sell their pets, but there are only a few of them. However, if you don't know much about pets, you'd better go to a legitimate place to buy a pet. " Zhang Zian pointed to the pigeon vendor not far away, "It's easy to buy test papers for canine distemper and parrot on the Internet, but parrot fever test papers are very rare. You need to be more careful when buying birds."
They had been shopping for less than an hour, but they had only visited a small part of the dog market. There were many places that they just passed by, such as those selling cold-water fish, tropical fish, birds, rodents, and turtles. Because Zhang Zian was not familiar with these pets, it was not easy for him to judge them.
Snowy suddenly pointed to the front and shouted in surprise, "Mr. Store Manager, look! Is that a leopard?"
Zhang Zian glanced at it and laughed, "That's impossible. Although this is a lawless area, it's not necessary to sell leopards in broad daylight … That is a Bengal cat. Shall we go and have a look?"
"Okay! Mr. Store Manager, you don't have Bengal cats in your shop, do you? Is that cat called Fina a Bengal cat? "Snowy asked.
"No. Bengal cats are rare. At least I haven't heard of any pet shop or cattery in Binhai City selling them, "Zhang Zian said with reservation. After all, he didn't know much about other pet shops, and he was still doubtful whether this was a real Bengal cat.
The vendor, whose ID in the dog market trading group was "Three-year-old unnie" but was called "Lao San" by others, felt a headache when he saw Zhang Zian and the others. He knew that Liu XX had fallen into their trap. The dyed Pomeranian was not sold, and it might even be put on the Internet for people to watch. It was so embarrassing. How could he survive in the dog market in the future?
However, he was often ridiculed in the trading group for three years if he didn't make a profit for three years, so he was quite confident in his own Bengal cats. He decided to ignore them and treat the rich second generation in front of him well.
When Zhang Zian and the others approached, they saw a young man wearing sunglasses picking out a Bengal cat. The young man was about 20 years old, with a beard on his chin. He was wearing famous brands from head to toe, and he was playing with a bunch of keys with an eye-catching BMW logo in his hands.
"Boss, how much is this Bengal cat?" he asked, pointing to the most beautiful Bengal cat in the cage.
Lao San stretched out his hand, "Fifty thousand."
The young man thought for a moment and didn't say anything, but Snowy exclaimed, "So expensive!"
"Huh?" The young man thought the voice was familiar. He looked back and his eyes fell on Snowy's face.
"Is it … Snowy?" he asked uncertainly.
Snowy was stunned and stared at his face blankly. She didn't expect that someone would recognize her here. She felt the man in front of her was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
Zhang Zian didn't understand and asked casually, "Is he your fan?"
Snowy was a well-known local anchor, so it was normal for her to be recognized on the street, so Zhang Zian wasn't surprised.
The young man took off his sunglasses, pointed to his nose and said, "Don't you recognize me? I'm Lin Qi. We met once two or three years ago. "
"Ah! I remember! It's Seventh Brother! "After being reminded by him, Snowy also remembered who he was. Lin Qi was a distant relative of hers. They met once at a family gathering in the hotel a few years ago, so she should call him brother. However, the Jiang family and the Lin family didn't have much contact, so she didn't know much about Lin Qi.
"Snowy, long time no see. You haven't changed at all! How are uncle and auntie? "Lin Qi glanced at Zhang Zian and Deng Jie, and greeted Snowy.
"Thanks to them, they are in good health!" Snowy was a little anxious. She didn't want to interrupt the live broadcast halfway, nor did she want to expose her identity. She didn't know what to do. She always felt that once the fact that she was also a rich second generation was exposed, there would be a gap between her and the audience.
"I heard that uncle's business is getting bigger and bigger, but nothing is more important than health, right?" Lin Qi put on his sunglasses again.
Zhang Zian realized that he was an acquaintance of Snowy's in real life, and probably a relative. He didn't want to interrupt, so he walked to the front of the iron cage to look at the Ocelot inside. The audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it. They were all guessing where this Brother Qi came from and what was his relationship with Snowy.
Snowy was so anxious that she was sweating. Although she said it casually, she was thinking about how to change the topic as soon as possible.
"Brother Qi, are you here to buy a pet?" She suddenly had an idea and asked.
Lin Qi nodded, pointed to the Ocelot in the iron cage and said, "I heard that there are Ocelots for sale here, so I came to have a look. How about you, Snowy? Are you also here to buy a pet? What a coincidence to meet you here. "
"Well... I'm not going to buy one. I'm just looking around..." Snowy said vaguely. She turned to look at Zhang Zian and Deng Jie, and quickly introduced them, "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you. This is Sister Deng Jie, and this is Zhang Zian, the store manager of a pet shop. If you want to buy a Ocelot, you can ask him for advice. I promise you won't be cheated! "
"Oh?" Hearing that Zhang Zian ran a pet shop, Lin Qi subconsciously thought that Zhang Zian was asked by Snowy to help him choose a pet.
"Hello, I am Lin Qi, and Snowy is my distant sister." He reached out to Zhang Zian.
"Hello, I am Zhang Zian. As Snowy said, I run a pet shop." Zhang Zian shook hands with him.
Lao San, the stall owner, secretly cursed his bad luck. He didn't expect that he was related to this rich second generation. It seemed that he might not be able to make money today...
Snowy was afraid that Lin Qi would say something irrelevant, so she quickly said, "Brother Qi, are you going to buy a Ocelot here? It's so expensive! "
Lin Qi nodded and said, "It's not a big deal. I've asked my friends, and it seems that there is no other place in Binhai City that sells Ocelots... and Ocelots in other cities are not cheap."
"What's so good about this cat? It's so expensive! "Snowy asked.
"Because it's handsome, isn't it? And there are not many people raising it. "Lin Qi shrugged.
Zhang Zian's first impression of Lin Qi was not bad. Although he looked like a rich second generation, he was not as arrogant as rumored, except for his unrestrained appearance.
