"Okay, let's eat first."
Zhang Zian put a big plate of fried rice cake he made on the table. It smelled good. There were eggs, sausages, onions, cabbage, carrots, and so on. It was easy to make and nutritious, so it could be used as both a dish and a meal.
He took four bowls and a tray and placed the fried rice cakes into the bowls. Three portions were the same size, and one portion was slightly smaller. He planned to give a bowl to Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yi Yun, who were downstairs, so that they could have a taste. The smaller portion was for Lu Yi Yun.
"Woof!"
A dog's head popped out from the edge of the table. It was Xiao La, who had just been released from the storage room. Its two front paws rested on the table leg, and it was drooling over the fried rice cake.
"Xiao La! Go down, Xiao La! Your food is on the floor. "
Zhang Zian pointed to the floor, where there was a food bowl with dog food for Xiao La in it.
Xiao La turned its head and looked at the dog food. Obviously, it was not interested and continued to lean on the table.
Zhang Zian saw this situation and knew that Liu Sanlang and Shi Shi must have fed Xiao La their food during meals. That was why Xiao La did not like to eat dog food. Instead, it liked to eat human food.
Liu Sanlang might have been wronged, because he had asked Zhang Zian about how to train a dog. However, he was often with Shi Shi, and Shi Shi must have spoiled Xiao La too much and let it do whatever it wanted.
The most terrible thing about training a dog was the disunity of the government. The inconsistency of the owner's instructions and attitude would make the dog confused and at a loss. This was the reason why Zhang Zian did not recommend Qian Bowen's family to raise a Beagle. Beagles were notoriously difficult to train. If any of the three owners were soft-hearted, the training would be in vain.
"Woof, woof!"
Xiao La stared at the fried rice cake reluctantly.
Zhang Zian had already pointed out the position of the food. At this time, the right thing to do was to ignore it. If you have the ability, don't eat the dog food. It depends on whether you are hungry or not. When you are too hungry, you will naturally eat it. After a few times, the dog's habits would be reversed.
Eating dog food on the ground or eating food on the table was not only a matter of food, but also a matter of status and rank in the family. If a dog ate food on the table, it meant that it was on an equal footing with humans. In the dog's heart, it would treat humans as its buddies instead of its owner. Even the police who went through life and death with the police dogs would not do this. Therefore, training a dog must start with eating.
In addition, unless it was specially made for dogs, there were too many taboos in human food. For example, onions in fried rice cakes were harmful to dogs.
Zhang Zian paid no attention to Xiao La, who was begging for food. He scooped three bowls of rice cakes and brought them to the three people downstairs. Then he came back to the dining table and tasted his cooking. It was not bad. Maybe he could consider becoming a chef in the future.
In the past, his parents had asked him to eat properly during meals. He could not look at his mobile phone or watch TV. However, today's situation was special. He quickly browsed other novels on Qidian with his mobile phone. He wanted to learn the secrets of other novels' success, such as the introduction, the beginning, the development of the plot, and so on. At the same time, he looked at the comment section of other books.
The comment section of some new works that had the same number of words as Pi's novel was also very quiet. Occasionally, there were a few advertisements for other books. However, the comment section of Pi's novel did not even have any advertisements. It was completely empty.
Should I try to learn how to advertise? How effective would advertising be?
He ignored Xiao La, who was gluttonous under the table, and mechanically put the fried rice cakes into his mouth piece by piece. He swiped his finger, switched to the Wang Haige Forum app, and clicked into the online literature exchange area.
Although a big bowl of chicken soup made Pi give up the idea of giving up, he knew that it was only temporary. It was not a permanent solution. One day, Pi would doubt its ability again because no one read its novel.
In addition, he was also very concerned about Pi's disappearance and reappearance. Was he really wrong?
When he first took over the pet shop, he was also depressed about the lack of customers. It was the appearance of Xinghai that changed his fate. Xinghai braved the risk of injury to collapse a certain future into reality. Letting the first customer walk into his shop was tantamount to a cardiac stimulant for him, who had fallen into self-doubt. It made him realize that it was not a problem of his ability, but only the lack of fame.
Now, he decided to do something. Even if he did not have Xinghai's ability, he wanted to do something within his power to help Pi, just like Xinghai helped him.
Maybe it was because the students were on winter vacation, but today's online literature exchange area was still very lively.
Coincidentally, someone also raised a similar question in the forum.
[Dot]: What should I do if no one reads my novel? Should I advertise in the comment section of other books?
Someone replied.
[Animal]: I also want to ask this question.
[Little Husky]: I advise you not to waste your time. Personally, advertising is useless. Write your novel well, and when you have more words, you can recommend it. Even the worst recommendation is more useful than a week of advertising.
[Dot]: The problem is that I haven't recommended him since we signed the contract.
[Little Husky]: "There are too many books and only a few recommendation spots. Just wait patiently. You have to be patient when writing a book."
[Pi Shen]: Actually, you can't generalize. It's useless to advertise in the book review section of other books, but it's still useful to advertise in the book list.
[Puppet]: That's right. My book used to have four or five bookmarks a day. Since it was included in a small reading list with more than 2000 followers, it has increased by twenty or thirty bookmarks a day.
At this point, there was no follow-up reply. It was like the female lead of an action movie was about to unbutton the last button, but the video suddenly ended.
What the hell is a book list?
Zhang Zian read the post from the beginning again and felt that it was worth studying.
He had finished eating the fried rice cake. Although the amount of rice cake in one bowl was not much, the rice cake was not easy to digest. It was very filling.
He deliberately put the empty bowl in front of Xiao La to let it know that the food was finished.
Xiao La whimpered. She looked at the empty bowl and then at the dog food on the ground. She was having a fierce internal struggle.
Zhang Zian got up to wash the dishes. As he was washing, Wang Qian's voice came from downstairs. "Master! Come down! There are customers coming. We can't handle them! "
Wang Qian and Li Kun had been working in the pet shop for many days, so they had been influenced by Zhang Zian. Together with Lu Yiyun, they were more than capable of dealing with ordinary customers. Those that they couldn't deal with were usually customers with special requirements.
"Coming. Wait a minute."
Zhang Zian shouted downstairs.
He put the bowl down and pointed at the dog food on the ground, meaning to tell Xiao La that it had no choice.
He hurried downstairs and saw two men standing at the door of the shop. He knew one of them. It was Lin Qi. He had never seen the other one before. However, judging from the two luxury cars parked outside the shop, he was probably a rich man.
