The craze caused by the reopening lasted the whole weekend. Almost half of the pets in the shop were bought. Even on Sunday, there were still many customers who wanted to see the ballet Abyssinian cats.
Wang Qian and Li Kun opened the Wang Haige BBS app on their mobile phones for Zhang Zian to see. The keywords "Amazing Fate Pet Shop" and "Abyssinian cats" were almost all over the pet area. Curious people asked where the pet shop was and wanted to see the kittens dance.
Not only in the forum, but also on Weibo. The people who were interested were not only concentrated in Binhai City, but also in the nearby cities. Because the distance was not far, some people from other cities said that they would take advantage of the holidays to go to Binhai City for a self-driving tour and to visit the pet shop to broaden their horizons.
The craze did not stop until the end of the weekend. After all, most people who were interested in high-end pets were young office workers. Even if they liked pets, they had to make money to fill their stomachs first.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were the most tired. Zhang Zian gave them a day off on Monday so that they could have a good rest and prepare for the peak of the next weekend.
Monday morning.
Zhang Zian had an appointment with Sheng Ke at the Binhai Studio. He knew that Sheng Ke was very busy, but he wondered why he had time on Monday, which was supposed to be even busier.
In any case, he got up early as usual — to be exact, he was woken up by the cold.
The two sunny days of the weekend were gone forever. When he opened his eyes in the dark, he heard a whining sound outside the window, as if there was a strong wind. The Amazing Fate Pet Shop was an old-fashioned building that was built 20 years ago. The gaps in the windows were not very tight. Every time the northwest wind blew, there would be a strong wind outside and a light wind inside. The wind blew the curtains and made them feel cold.
Richard was nowhere to be seen on the drying pole, so Zhang Zian knew that it must have crawled under his clothes to sleep again. He was too lazy to scold it anymore. It was useless. It was too thick-skinned and only knew how to respond with dirty words. He only hoped that it had wiped its butt before it went under … He was wearing a sweater today, which was not easy to wash or dry. It would be troublesome if it had bird droppings on it.
Zhang Zian sat up from the bed and put on his clothes. He picked up his sweater and looked at it. Richard was under it, snoring loudly. It kicked its legs and twitched its wings from time to time. He put the sweater close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Fortunately, he did not smell the unique stench of bird droppings. Otherwise, he would have opened the window and thrown Richard out, letting it experience the feeling of "birds flying in the wind"...
Fina, Snowy Lionet, and Old Time Tea were all sound asleep. Galaxy woke up when he sat up. It blinked its silver-gray eyes, waved at him, and silently said "Good morning." It couldn't wait to open the door and go downstairs. The same was true for Famous. It had woken up a long time ago and had been lying on the blanket, staring blankly at the dim night light. Its mind was blank, and it didn't think of anything.
Hearing the sound of Zhang Zian getting up, Famous stood up, shook its fur, and looked at him expectantly. Since it heard that it was going to the audition today, it had been restless. It didn't even want to drink its favorite red wine, and its appetite had decreased. It was like a soldier about to go to the battlefield.
Zhang Zian nodded at it, meaning that it could rest assured that the original plan would not change. Even if there was a strong wind today, he would still take it to the audition. After all, Famous was a dog. It was not good to stay indoors all the time. It needed to go outside to vent its excess energy, otherwise it would be depressed like this. Of course, Zhang Zian knew that the reason for its depression was not just this, but regardless of whether it could pass the audition today, it was good to take it out to relax.
Since Wang Qian and Li Kun had a day off, Zhang Zian went downstairs to clean up the cat litter and dog droppings. Fortunately, almost half of the pets had been sold, so the work in the shop was much easier. After he finished cleaning up, the other elfins also woke up and went downstairs one after another.
"Quack! Who woke up first? I know it all my life. Spring water is enough in the cottage, the sun is late outside the bed! "
The day in the pet shop was still opened with Richard's obscene poem.
Zhang Zian felt that the pronunciation of a few words in this poem was not quite right, but he was too lazy to go into it. For Richard's poem, if you took it seriously, you would lose.
Before the echo died away, Richard had already fluttered its wings and landed on his shoulder. "Quack! Aren't you curious? "
Zhang Zian knew what it was going to say and immediately denied it. "Not curious."
Richard stared at him speechlessly. "You are making it impossible to continue the conversation like this."
"I am not in the mood to talk to you. Don't you just want to ask me who 'Zongchi' is?" Zhang Zian picked up a rag and put it on its head. "Go to work! Take this rag and wipe the table and the display cabinets. "
"Hey! This is not fair! Why don't those lazy cats have to work? "Richard tried to struggle out from under the rag and said in a muffled voice.
"Because although they don't work, they don't talk nonsense." Zhang Zian said the truth. "You talk too much!"
"Okay, okay! Since the first day I came here, I knew that you, an idiot, valued cats more than birds. Sooner or later, I will let you know what it means to look down on people! "Richard shouted loudly.
"Why do I look down on people?" Famous heard it and ran over with its tongue out, waiting for Richard to give it an explanation.
Richard was speechless.
It looked at Famous's white canine teeth and red tongue, and decided it was better to shut its mouth and wipe the table …
Zhang Zian almost laughed out loud! Damn, this is what it means to cause trouble from a loose tongue! He knew from the beginning that sooner or later, Richard's broken mouth would cause trouble for itself.
Richard flew to the cashier's table and grabbed the rag to wipe here and there. After wiping for a while, it finally finished the task.
Zhang Zian didn't expect it to be very clean. Anyway, when Lu Yiyun came, she would wipe it herself. This girl loved to be clean. Every night before work, she would clean her place again in the morning. She would also wipe the gaps in the keyboard carefully with a wet towel.
Fina yawned and came down from the second floor. It jumped onto its exclusive cat climbing frame and continued to sleep. Sometimes Zhang Zian wondered why it came down. It could have just continued to sleep upstairs … Snowy Lionet followed behind it. In this room, it was the least afraid of the cold.
Old Time Tea was still lying in front of the TV, watching the news with great interest.
Zhang Zian was cleaning while listening to the weather forecast. The highest temperature during the day would drop to below 5 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature at night would drop to minus 10 degrees Celsius. It was not far from the day when water would freeze into ice.
For today's audition, Zhang Zian only planned to bring Famous with him. On such a cold and windy day, Fina definitely didn't want to go out. First, it was cold. Second, it would mess up its fur. If Fina didn't go, Snowy Lionet definitely wouldn't go either. Xinghai was afraid of people, so it couldn't go. Old Time Tea didn't need to go either. Zhang Zian decided to let them stay warm at home.
When he opened the shutter door, Lu Yiyun was already waiting outside. She was so cold that she couldn't stop pacing.
"Come on in. Is it cold outside?" Zhang Zian quickly opened the glass door to let her in.
"It's okay …" Lu Yiyun's teeth were chattering in the cold, but she didn't admit it. She didn't take off her coat after entering the door, which proved that she was really cold.
"You don't have to come so early in the future. There are no customers this early anyway," Zhang Zian said. "Come back half an hour later."
Lu Yiyun shook her head. "I draw at home, and I draw here. It's better to come earlier."
"I'm afraid that you'll catch a cold! I have to tell you in advance that it's very difficult to ask for a leave from me! "Zhang Zian warned her half-jokingly.
"Mr. Store Manager, are you going to Binhai Studio today?" She took a moment to calm down, and her face finally had some color.
"Yeah, I'm in such a bad weather." Zhang Zian looked outside absent-mindedly. He saw that the passersby were all frozen, and their faces were pale.
"In other words, I'm alone today?" she asked in a low voice.
Zhang Zian looked away. "Are you afraid?"
"That's not it …" Lu Yi Yun's face clearly showed that she was afraid of him. "Mr. Store Manager, I think …"
"What?" Zhang Zian thought that she had something particularly difficult to say.
She said hesitantly, "I'm alone today. I want to bring my cat to accompany me. Is that okay?"
"Uh … That's what you want to say?" Zhang Zian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "If you want to bring it, then bring it. There are so many cats here. It won't make a difference."
"That's great! Actually … I already brought it … "Lu Yiyun was carrying a backpack today. She turned around, and a beige head popped out of the backpack. It was her mixed-breed cat, Jasmine.
She bowed her head and apologized, "Sorry, I brought it without permission … Jasmine, say hello to Mr. Store Manager."
Jasmine seemed to be as timid and shy as its owner. It meowed timidly and hid half of its face in the backpack, only showing a pair of eyes.
Lu Yiyun watched the kittens dance in the shop. After returning home, she held Jasmine in her arms and talked about it for a few days. Today, she finally made up her mind to bring Jasmine. In fact, she hoped that Zhang Zian could also teach Jasmine to dance, even if it was not ballet, but just ordinary dance.
In her opinion, teaching kittens to dance was very difficult. She even said that she was willing to give up this month's salary, as long as Zhang Zian could teach Jasmine to dance.
It was such a trivial matter, so Zhang Zian agreed without hesitation. For him, Lu Yiyun was a rare painting talent. The public account of the shop could not be separated from her. As long as she was willing to stay, he would try his best to teach Jasmine ballet, let alone ordinary dance.
With his promise, Lu Yi Yun finally let out a relieved smile.
