Chapter 397: Pick-up

Jinmen International Airport.

Zhang Zi'an came to Jinmen for the first time, he has been famous for this historic ancient city and municipality for a long time, and he has long wanted to come to Jinmen to see, but unfortunately he has no time to sightsee today, and he has no time to taste ear-eye fried cakes and Goubuli buns, but came to pick up the plane.

Assuming the flight is not delayed, seven Abyssinian cats are expected to arrive here today.

Since there are no direct flights from the United States to Marina, it is necessary to make a transfer, and the difference is only which airport you transfer from.

Because it was freezing now, Zhang Zi'an was not worried about letting the seven cats wait on the tarmac for at least a few hours, and if the flight was delayed due to bad weather, it might even wait a day or two. After consulting with Adams, he decided to transport them to Jinmen Airport, where the quarantine is most relaxed, and then he would pick them up himself.

Today is not a good time for sightseeing, the haze that is unique to the north in autumn and winter envelops the city, although the fog here at the airport is not too big, but through the scrolling electronic signs, Zhang Zi'an learned that several flights have been delayed, and he is very worried about whether the plane carrying the seven Abyssinian cats has successfully landed.

A uniformed trucking company employee walks over with a trolley carrying a large wooden box on it. This wooden box is so big that it can almost fit a hippopotamus, Zhang Zi'an didn't pay attention to this person at first, because he thought that it was only seven cats, and he couldn't use such a large wooden box.

"Mr. Zhang Zi'an?" asked the freight company employee, pushing the cap.

Zhang Zi'an was stunned, "Yes." ”

"Please show me the bill of lading. The other party said.

Zhang Zi'an took out the bill of lading and handed it to him, his eyes kept glancing at the big wooden box, and he muttered in his heart, wondering if Adams had shipped the wrong thing? Why did he use such a large box?

While the other party checked the bill of lading, Zhang Zi'an circled around the large wooden box a few times, and found the eye-catching logo of the United States Department of Agriculture on the side of the large wooden box, as well as the large English characters of "live animal", and the vertical arrow indicating the vertical direction of the box. Obviously, this is a wooden box approved by the United States Department of Agriculture for air transportation, which can be purchased in many pet supply stores and pet shipping companies in the United States, but Zhang Zi'an has never seen such a huge one.

On the top of the flight box is a manifest with the phone number and address of the pet shipping company commissioned by Adams, as well as the name and telephone number of the consignee, Zhang Zi'an. Photographs of seven Abyssinian cats are also posted on it, lined up.

The freight company's employees verified Zhang Zi'an's bill of lading and found no problems, so they opened the large wooden box from one side.

The security door of the large wooden box is fastened with a card slot and is not locked, presumably so that in case of an emergency, the entourage or airline employee can open the box and let the pets escape - of course, this also objectively increases the risk of the pet being lost or escaping, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

To be honest, Zhang Zi'an was cheated by domestic couriers and received empty packages, he was really a little worried, afraid that the big wooden box would be empty after it was opened, even if he refused to sign and contact Adams immediately, I am afraid that he would never be able to find the seven Abyssinian cats......

As the security door opened, his eyes locked on the inside, holding his breath.

"Meow~"

Seven little chocolate-colored creatures snuggled together, fourteen eyes looking in the direction the light came from at the same time.

A stone fell to the ground in Zhang Zi'an's heart!

The large wooden box really has the advantage of a large wooden box, and the space inside is very abundant, especially for the lively and active Abyssinian cats, which can give them enough space to move. In addition, there are fixed wooden basins in the wooden box, which contain water and food, and cat litter boxes - of course, there is only one of each, and it is impossible to prepare one for each cat, so you can only make do.

Maybe it's due to a bumpy journey or a few of them being mischievous, the wooden crates are littered with water stains, cat litter, and food scraps, and on top of that, inevitably smells of feces and urine, but considering they've just crossed half a world, the condition is already impeccable.

In order to prevent them from escaping accidentally, the employees of the freight company did not fully open the security door, and together with Zhang Zi'an, they guarded the door and carefully examined the seven cats.

"One, two, three...... All seven cats survived. He counted them and asked, "Sir, are you satisfied?"

Zhang Zi'an put his arm into the wooden box and dipped his fingers in the water in the basin, which was cold.

That's what worries him, as if he stays overnight at Jinmen Airport, where the outside temperature is colder than Binhai City, their drinking water may freeze. But this has nothing to do with the quality of service provided by the pet shipping company.

"Very satisfied. Zhang Zi'an said truthfully.

"Then please sign for it. ”

Zhang Zi'an signed his name on the slip handed over by the other party.

Just as Zhang Zi'an was signing and filling in the date, the eyes of the employees of the freight company fell on the flight box he brought, and then he asked suspiciously: "Huh...... Sir, are you going to use this outfit?"

No wonder he was puzzled, if Zhang Zi'an was in his position, he would also be puzzled, because Zhang Zi'an only brought two portable flight cases, and if he insisted on stuffing seven cats, it would be very cramped, and he couldn't turn around at all.

"Yes. Zhang Zi'an didn't plan to explain more, and handed him back the slip, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Zi'an is the recipient of these cats, so even if he is not satisfied, there is no way, he takes the slip and shakes his head, as if he regrets the fate of these cats, probably thinking that Zhang Zi'an does not cherish them.

Putting the seven cats into two flight cases, Zhang Zi'an picked them up, thanked the employee again and left.

Entering the public restroom cubicle at the airport, he still used the old method of incorporating five of them into the game, leaving two to occupy exactly one flight case each. Seven when you go into the toilet and two when you get out of the toilet, but fortunately there is a flight box to cover it, and no one pays attention to these details in the crowded airport.

Although I would love to have fun in Jinmen, today is really not the right time.

He had already booked his high-speed rail tickets in advance and immediately took a taxi to the train station. It was warm on the train, and after several hours of bumpy rides, we finally returned to Marina City.

It was already more than nine o'clock at night when I returned to the pet store, Lu Yiyun looked at the store alone for a day, and now that he was off work, Wang Qian and Li Kun had also finished cleaning accordingly, and the store was empty at this time.

When he entered the store, he pulled down the roller shutter and locked it.

Fina sniffed the scent and jumped off the cat ladder to stare at the two Abyssinian cats in the kennel, one of which was Wendy, whom she had seen in the CFA arena.

Zhang Zi'an aimed at the open space in the store and released the other five cats one by one.

The seven cats had been tired for almost the whole day, and their spirits were a little sluggish, but as soon as they saw Fina, they immediately fell to the ground in submission, trembling and not daring to move.

Zhang Zi'an ran around all day, slumped on the recliner like mud, and didn't want to move.

Ever since she learned about the chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats in the CFA arena, Fina has always been indignant about them, why do the dignified cat people need human recognition? Therefore, it has been very lazy and unexpectedly mustered up its energy, not only supporting Zhang Zi'an to accept them as Cathy's legacy, but even wanting them to be in the limelight and slap those stupid humans in the face!

A very important reason why Fina is so angry is that the Abyssinian cat is very close to it, second only to the modern Egyptian cat, not only its subordinate, but also its close relative. They like to jump high like Fina, have the same liness and pleasant cries as Fina, and hate being picked up by people like Fina, unless they are very close to someone.

"Is the music ready?" Fina turned her head to glare at Zhang Zi'an.

"I'm ready, but do you really want to do this?" Zhang Zi'an took out his phone, activated the music player, and then opened the music library.

"Hongu is as eloquent as a mountain. It said proudly.

"Okay. Zhang Zi'an didn't want to pour cold water on its motivation, let alone provoke it.

He knew that Fina wanted to teach them a special dance, and the choreography was far more complex and graceful than the previous dances, because it was a dance that Fina had tailored for Abyssinian cats, and ordinary cats could not learn it.

The Abyssinian cat has a popular nickname called "Ballerina Cat", so named for its graceful gait. This cat has incredible motor nerves and can even jump on par with Athera's cats, which are many times larger than them.

"Which of them are the prettiest by your human standards?" Fina asked, but her tone was full of blatant disdain.

Zhang Zi'an straightened up from the recliner, and after considering his appearance, gender, age and body type, he selected four cats, including Wendy, from among the seven Abyssinian cats. As for the other three cats, he plans to breed them as breeding cats according to the pedigree left by Cathy.

"Are you sure that's them?" asked Fina.

Zhang Zi'an nodded.

"So what are you waiting for, let's get started!" Fina said impatiently.

"Music!" Richard shouted with fluttering wings.

Zhang Zi'an clicked the "play" button, and the piano music of "Four Little Swans" lingered in the store.
