Back at the pet shop, Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun both looked at Zhang Zian inquisitively. He simply nodded to reassure them, meaning that everything was taken care of.
Snowy had already finished trimming Snowball's fur. Seeing Zhang Zian return, she said regretfully, "That cat is quite pitiful. Did you send it to euthanasia? The audience in the broadcast room even asked me to broadcast the euthanasia process, but I'm too timid to have nightmares at night … "
She hugged Snowball tightly, glad that it wasn't as unlucky as the Siamese cat.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Even if it's not euthanized, it won't live for long. Living is a complete torture," Zhang Zian replied. "Don't worry, it's rare for a cat to get rabies."
Snowy sighed and said, "But I often bring Snowball out to play. What if it gets scratched by a stray cat …"
"How can there be so many stray cats? Stray dogs are much more dangerous than stray cats. " Zhang Zian laughed, but then he immediately thought of the cats that ran out of Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base. Although most of them were adopted, there were still many stray cats. After the initial excitement of the adopters passed, would they abandon the cats they got for free and further increase the number of stray cats? It was really an unknown factor.
In fact, the villa area where Snowy lived was strictly managed. There were no stray cats or dogs at all. The owners were all rich and had more than one residence. The various reasons that ordinary people would give for abandoning cats and dogs did not apply to them.
Snowball had become bald, but it didn't become stronger. Instead, it looked very slim. There were still a lot of loose fur left on its body, so Snowy decided to use the famous automatic dog washing machine to wash it.
Fina jumped back onto the cat tree, yawned, and went back to sleep.
Old Time Tea was still watching TV, Snowball was still lecherously looking at beauties licking their paws, Famous was surrounded by a few fans who had just arrived, and Richard was flying around noisily, as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Zian glanced at the staircase. Xinghai was sitting on the top step of the stairs, blinking its gray eyes at the customers coming and going. In its eyes, there was fear of humans, but also intimacy and yearning for humans.
There was nothing going on in the pet shop for now. He told Lu Yi Yun and went to the aquarium next door.
"Master Wu, Master Zhao, are you still choosing?"
As soon as he entered the aquarium, Zhang Zian heard Welder Zhao's loud and clear voice. The other customers were quietly admiring the strange underwater world, and his voice was the loudest in the entire aquarium.
Compared to Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun, Li Kun and Jiang Feifei, who were in charge of the aquarium business, were much more relaxed. Their workload was more than half that of the other two, and they were even a little bored.
The first reason was that every fish tank was labeled, indicating the species of the fish tank and the difficulty of raising it, so there was not much to ask. The second reason was that most of the people who raised aquatic creatures had done their homework before coming to the pet shop, unlike people who raised cats and dogs, who often came to the pet shop to get one on a whim. The third reason was that it was undeniable that the number of aquatic creature lovers was much smaller than people who raised cats and dogs.
Electrician Wu and Welder Zhao had arrived early in the morning. Zhang Zian had been busy in the pet shop for a long time, but he didn't expect the two of them to still be there … It could only be said that retired people had free time. If it wasn't for the fact that they had to go home for lunch in the afternoon, they would probably have stayed there for the whole day.
Zhang Zian had actually considered learning from the German aquarium and pet shop. He would provide paid coffee and tea in his shop, then set up a few rattan chairs and rattan tables. He could even work with Li's Snack Bar to provide take-out. Apart from being an additional source of income, the longer the customers stayed in the shop, the higher the possibility of making money.
Electrician Wu and Welder Zhao were standing in front of a row of aquarium tanks, arguing fiercely about something.
Welder Zhao's voice was loud, while Electrician Wu's voice was calm but not weak. As they got older, their tempers became stubborn, and neither of them could convince the other.
As soon as he saw Zhang Zian, Electrician Wu acted as if he had seen a family member. He enthusiastically greeted him. "Xiao Zhang, come over here. You know a lot, so we would like to ask you a question."
Zhang Zian walked over and asked, "Master Wu, what's the matter?"
"Wu, don't try to get close to me. Let me tell you, this is what happened." Welder Zhao rushed to say, "Previously, when you came to my house to deal with the bobbit worm, didn't we boil a lot of water and pour all the rocks in my tank?"
"Yes." Zhang Zian indicated that he hadn't forgotten.
Electrician Wu pointed at Welder Zhao and complained to Zhang Zian, "Look at him. He doesn't know how to be grateful. You guys helped him so much, but now he's blaming you. If it weren't for you guys, I don't know how much trouble the bobbit worm would have caused …"
"Wu, don't talk nonsense. When did I blame you?" Welder Zhao interrupted angrily. "Can we be honest?"
Zhang Zian saw that they were about to argue again, so he quickly interrupted, "Elders, I don't understand you guys at all. How about we take turns to talk?"
"Okay, I'll talk first." Welder Zhao was the first to speak.
It turned out that Zhang Zian and his group had gone to Welder Zhao's house to deal with the bobbit worm. After killing it, they didn't stay for long and went home.
Not long after they left, before Welder Zhao had time to clean up the scene, his wife came back from square dancing. His son and daughter-in-law also came home from work. They were all shocked to see the long and ugly worm in the tank. His wife was so scared that her face turned green and she almost fainted.
Welder Zhao was embarrassed and guilty. Of course, he couldn't say that it was because of his ignorance and mistake that he brought the dangerous bobbit worm into his house. Otherwise, he would lose face, and it was very likely that his whole family would boycott him, so he wouldn't be able to raise fish anymore.
He casually made up a few lies, claiming that the worm only looked ugly, but it was actually not dangerous. It usually ate fish feces for a living, so he deliberately raised it.
As for his grandson, who knew a little about the truth, he could bribe him with a few boxes of chocolates.
His family was skeptical, but the worm's carcass definitely couldn't be left at home, so they quickly urged him to throw it away.
Welder Zhao randomly found a plastic bag from the supermarket, picked up the bobbit worm's carcass with pliers, and stuffed the worm's carcass into the bag while enduring the nausea and nausea. The worm's carcass coiled a few times inside.
He took the bag downstairs to throw it away, but when he walked to the door of the building, he was worried about where to throw it. If he threw it into the trash can, would it scare the garbage cleaners tomorrow morning?
At that moment, someone called him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was a neighbor from another unit, who had also gone out to throw the garbage.
The neighbor's surname was Wang, and he was also a retired worker from their factory. He used to be a carpenter.
Carpenter Wang stared at the worm's carcass in the bag, and his eyes lit up.
