Snowy threw the piece of paper with the Bitcoin private key to the side and logged into her Weibo. She saw a lot of local netizens leaving comments under her latest post. They were all discussing the push from the official account and wondering why Zhang Zian wanted fresh Crucian Carps on New Year's Eve.
"You guys don't understand. There's only one use for asking for fresh Crucian Carps, and that's to help a pregnant woman," someone commented.
Immediately, someone retorted, "We all know that, but the problem is that Manager Zhang is obviously single. How could he have a pregnant woman?"
"Could he be asking for it for someone else? Like a friend's wife or something? "another person speculated.
"That's possible, but the person who has this cheapskate as a friend is probably more miserable …"
This sentence was met with a chorus of agreement.
One of the people who left a comment said, "Stop guessing. I just asked the pretentious Manager Zhang on his official account. The Abyssinian cat in his shop gave birth last night, but the mother cat didn't have enough milk and the kittens weren't full, so they urgently needed stew with Crucian Carps. Since there were no stalls in the market today, they couldn't buy Crucian Carps, so they could only ask for help from netizens and customers."
After learning the whole story, Snowy immediately posted a new blog post, asking everyone to spread the news and to lend a helping hand if they could.
"Oh, I see. I knew no one would have a cheapskate as a friend," a netizen said in relief.
"Sigh, these kittens are quite pitiful. They're starving as soon as they're born. Manager Zhang is too careless. Why didn't he prepare Crucian Carps in advance?"
"He probably didn't expect it. My cat has also given birth before, so it's hard to tell when it was born. If he bought it in advance, it wouldn't be fresh. Besides, if it was any other day, he could have bought it anytime. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year … "
"It's a pity that there are too many bones in the Crucian Carps. My family doesn't eat Crucian Carps at all, so I won't buy them. Since I have nothing to do today, I can go see the kittens."
"Yeah, I don't have any at home either. Otherwise, I would have brought two Crucian Carps for a stroll. Many relatives came today, and they were all smoking. I'm choking!"
"Do you know where I can find Crucian carps nearby?"
"Well … I think it's only sold in the market. I haven't seen it sold anywhere else. It used to be sold in supermarkets, but it's gone recently. Maybe it'll be on the market soon. After all, it's not a good time to eat Crucian Carps. They're not fat enough."
Snowy thought for a moment, then put on her slippers and ran downstairs to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and put her head inside to rummage through the contents.
"What are you doing? It's the New Year, yet you're so naughty! "His mother, who was baking a cake, scolded him.
"Mom, do we have any Crucian Carps?" Snowy asked.
"Crucian Carp? Where did the crucian carp come from? There are too many fish bones. I thought you didn't want to eat them? " His mother grumpily said, "There are other fish, such as salmon, grouper, turbot, and so on. Do you want to eat fish?"
"Not really." Snowy did not explain in detail.
"What a crazy girl. Whatever comes to her mind …" Her mother shook her head and sighed. "You came just in time. Learn how to bake a cake from me."
"Wait a moment, I'm busy now!"
Snowy ran back to the second floor.
"What can you be busy with? You're always busy! "Her mother stared at her back and said angrily.
Snowy regretfully sat back in front of the computer and saw that many netizens were also busy looking for Crucian Carps. Unfortunately, during the New Year, everyone would buy some high-end fish, and no one would buy Crucian Carps. Even if there were any, they were not fresh and had been frozen in the fridge for months.
In fact, Snowy had a lot of fans and some followers of the pet shop's official account, but today was a special day. Some people had fresh Crucian Carps at home and were willing to help, but they were busy dealing with visiting relatives. Many people slept late last night and were still in bed, so they did not know about the news at all.
After all, most people watched the livestream for fun. They didn't mind tipping a few dollars, but if they really had to carry a few fish and braved the cold, many people would find it troublesome. They would rather stay in bed and scroll through their WeChat Moments …
Snowy originally wanted to help, but she could not. She did not know where to buy Crucian Carps, so she had to give up.
"Snowy!" Her mother shouted from downstairs, "I wanted to say just now. Hurry up and change out of your pajamas. Who pays New Year's greetings in pajamas? Hurry up and change! There will be guests coming later! "
"Oh! I got it! I'll change right away! "
Snowy responded in a low voice, "Which rule says that I can't pay New Year's greetings in pajamas?"
"Meow," Snowball the Persian cat whispered, wagging its tail.
"Snowball, you think so too, right?" Snowy patted its back, feeling that Snowball understood her better.
"Let's go out and play."
She changed her clothes and went downstairs with Snowball. The smell of cake had already drifted out of the kitchen, making her mouth water. Her father was on the phone, greeting foreign business partners and bursting into laughter from time to time.
"I'm going out with Snowball to get some fresh air," she said to the kitchen.
"Hurry up and come back. Don't disappear again!" Her mother poked her head out of the kitchen and warned.
"Okay, I got it."
Snowy left the villa and finally got some peace and quiet.
The villa area was still very quiet during the New Year. Even people who went to other houses for New Year's greetings came and went in a hurry with different purposes.
The snow on the road was cleaned up, and only a little snow remained on the forest lawn around the artificial lake.
There was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the artificial lake, and there were many warning signs around the lake — Danger! Ice is too thin, no skating in the lake!
In fact, these signs were completely unnecessary. No one skated in the lake, and the people who lived in this villa area could afford to go to a regular skating rink.
Snowy walked in front, and Snowball followed behind. She looked back from time to time to remind Snowball, "Snowball, don't lick the snow. Mr. Store Manager said a few days ago that the main ingredient of the snow-melting agent is industrial salt. You will be poisoned if you lick it!"
Snowball didn't know if it understood, but it didn't lick it.
"Woof woof!"
As they walked, a silly looking Husky jumped out from the side and ran towards Snowy.
Snowball jumped in front of Snowy to protect her as if it had seen its natural enemy, and bared its fangs and claws at the Husky.
"You good-for-nothing! Don't embarrass me! You keep losing, and you keep fighting! "Uncle Jin's disappointed voice came from the woods.
Snowy looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure holding a fishing rod sitting by the lake.
