While Weiwei picked up the Xisen kitten, Mai Suzuhara carefully selected pet supplies such as food bowls, cages, collars, and leashes for Snoopy on the shelves. One of the problems she faced was that she was a foreigner, and it was a little more troublesome to get a dog license, but she was confident that she would overcome it.

Lu Yiyun brought her a shopping bag, the shopping bag was designed according to Xuan Ying's suggestion and ordered from the Internet, the light brown hard kraft paper looks high-grade, one side is printed with the store name, address, phone number and other information of Qiyuan pet store, and the other side is a big QR code, there will always be someone to scan it.

Mai Suzuhara chooses one thing and fills it in her shopping bag, and in a short time it fills two bags, plus she has to buy a pet kennel.

Zhang Zi'an diligently suggested to her: "Don't you buy pet shower gel? Beagle also has a small disadvantage that the body odor is slightly bigger, and it needs to be bathed often, and the shower gel for people is not suitable for dogs." ”

"Yes, I know. Suzuhara Maki lowered his head and said, his eyes glanced slightly into the store, and he asked hesitantly, "That...... Can't you bathe the dog here?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhang Zi'an motioned for her to come over, took her to the pet bath, and introduced: "This is the pet bath room of our store, but due to lack of manpower, our store can only bathe pets by customers at present." ”

Although this is a high-sounding statement, in fact, only customers with cats come to the store to bathe cats, and even if there are customers with dogs, they have to bathe the dogs themselves once asked, and immediately shake their heads and retreat.

Most cats hate getting wet with water to varying degrees, and cats are not as affectionate and obedient as dogs, and once you forcibly bathe a cat that is afraid of water, it is likely to have a lose-lose situation with the owner. Because of Fina's presence, customers can easily bathe cats who are afraid of water when they come to Zhang Zi'an's store, so they are willing to spend the money and do it themselves.

But what about dogs?

First of all, there is no elf in the store that can stop an ordinary dog, and secondly, dogs are not afraid of water, and dog bathing is not as troublesome as cats. Customers bring their dogs to the pet store to bathe, just to spend money to buy a relax, but if you spend money but still have to do it yourself, it is better to simply stay at home to wash, who will be idle to spend this unjust money?

The shower room in the store is nominally a pet bathhouse, but in fact it is for cats, and there has never been a customer who has ever paid for a bath with a dog.

If Qiyuan Pet Store wants to carry out the business of bathing dogs, it is bound to hire additional people, after all, Wang Qian and Li Kun are only part-time and usually do not stay in the store all day long. It's more troublesome to hire someone, who knows what the character of the new employee is, whether he will eat inside or out...... Besides, the little bath money earned may not be enough to pay salaries.

Therefore, Zhang Zi'an did not plan to start the business of bathing dogs, but this did not prevent him from forcibly pretending.

He took the trouble to introduce the use of the bathroom to Suzuhara Mayo, and Suzuhara Mayi was surprised-she is a foreigner, but she is not a fool, and she has to do it herself after spending money, who will spend this unjust money?

"Do it yourself?" she confirmed.

"Ahem......! Due to the lack of manpower, we have to do it ourselves for the time being...... The great leader told us to do it ourselves, and we have enough food ......and clothing," Zhang Zi'an said.

Seeing that he had misunderstood what he meant, Mai Suzuhara clarified, "No, that's not what I meant...... I don't know if you've ever heard of an 'automatic dog washer'?"

"What?"

Zhang Zi'an suspected that he had misheard.

He'd heard of automatic washing machines, but he'd never heard of automatic dog washing machines......

Suzuhara Mai put Snoopy down for the time being, and explained: "We have an automatic dog washing machine in Fuso, coin-operated, as long as the dog is put in, and then the corresponding number of coins are thrown, the machine will continue to spray the washing foam on the dog's body, and then rinse the foam with a warm shower, and finally use a warm air to dry the hair, the whole process takes about half an hour, and when the dog comes out, it has a new look, and it can prevent the dog from catching a cold during the bath." ”

Damn! And such an amazing thing?

Zhang Zi'an's three views have been refreshed again!

He could only sigh that the talent tree of the Fusang people was really crooked again......

Xiaoxue was also stunned, she couldn't imagine what an automatic dog washer like, and her mind was full of dogs spinning around in the drum washing machine......

"It's called an automatic dog washer...... Is that meaning it can't be used to bathe cats?" asked Xiaoxue curiously.

Since entering the winter, the frequency of snowball bathing has been greatly reduced, because the weather is too cold, the clothes are thick, the door in the bathroom is too hot, and the door is too cold, and her mother feels sorry for her and does not want her to bring snowballs to take a bath, for fear that her hands will be frostbitten if they are blown by the wind after they get wet.

"Theoretically, yes. "However, dogs are very obedient and obedient in the bath, while cats hate water and always jump up and down in the machine, scratching and scratching, and barking miserably...... So very few people use this machine to bathe cats. ”

Zhang Zi'an and Xiaoxue thought of a possibility almost at the same time!

"Mr. Storekeeper, wouldn't it be nice if you could buy two of these machines, one for cats and one for dogs?"

"That's right!" Zhang Zi'an admired and felt that it was feasible.

Imagine two automatic dog washers sitting side by side, one for dogs and the other for cats, with owners sitting and chatting and drinks available. Half an hour later, the door of the machine opened, and the clean and fragrant cats and dogs jumped out of the machine, and the owners hugged the cats and dogs, and said goodbye to each other gracefully...... It's just too high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, is there!

With such a novelty, there will definitely be people who will be willing to pay to try it, even if the fee is slightly more expensive than the artificial bathing service.

Zhang Zi'an made a rough calculation - half an hour of bath time, considering commercial water and commercial electricity, plus the price of the machine itself and subsequent maintenance costs, may not make much money in total, but this is a new business after all, and it is full of gimmicks, which can bring considerable customer flow.

The point is, where can I buy this machine?

He picked up his phone and turned to the almighty Taobao for help.

However, he looked around a lot, and even the almighty Taobao, which even sells tanks, aircraft carriers, and Star Destroyers and provides free shipping services, can't find the kind of automatic dog washing machine described by Suzuhara Mayi!

In desperation, he tried to ask Suzuhara Mako, "Miss Suzuhara, do you know where you can buy this automatic dog washer?"

"Uh......" Mai Suzuhara thought for a while, and said apologetically: "I only know that there are companies in Fuso that sell this kind of machine, but I really don't know if other countries sell it......"

Zhang Zi'an scratched his head, this is troublesome, even the almighty Taobao can't find an automatic dog washer, can he really only buy it from Fusang? But he is not familiar with Fusang, where can he buy it? Besides, it is not certain whether people sell it or not.

...... However, isn't there a Fuso girl standing in front of you?

So he cheekily said, "Miss Suzuhara, I would like to know which Fuso company sells this amazing automatic dog washer, can you please help me check it when you have time?" It would be better to tell me the name or website of the company, and the email address can also be ...... Preferably by phone, of course. ”

That's what he planned - he didn't know Japanese, let alone type, and it would be best if he could get a call, so he could let Richard negotiate with the other party instead of him, and if he sent an email, he could only use Google to translate it, which was more troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Suzuhara Mai said without hesitation: "No problem, this matter is very simple." My medical school has a partnership with a bioapparatus company that makes automatic dog washers, and I can contact you on my behalf. ”

Zhang Zi'an was overjoyed, it would be great if Suzuhara Maki was willing to help, after all, she was from Fuso and a medical student, and if she could get in touch with that company, maybe she could get some discounts......

However, he still had to excuse himself verbally, "Thank you so much, but isn't it too much trouble for you?" Then let's do it, I don't want money for this beagle, it's a thank you gift from me." ”

Lu Yiyun was about to print the invoice and fill out the pet sale agreement, when he heard the words and stopped.

Netizens in the live broadcast room all know what kind of person Zhang Zi'an is, and suddenly there was a dense barrage!

"Iron Rooster plucked? I may have met a fake shopkeeper!"

"Nothing to do - either treachery or theft!"

"Hehe, if it weren't for the Fusang girl, this iron rooster wouldn't be plucked!"

"Well said!"

Zhang Zi'an completely ignored these barrages, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat anyway.

"No! no, that's embarrassing!" said Mai Suzuhara. This matter may be very troublesome for Zhang Zi'an, but for her, it is just a gesture to stand in the middle and thread the needle to help connect the two sides.

Besides, she is very grateful to Zhang Zi'an for leaving her the only beagle in the store, this beagle is very similar to Snoopy, even if it is said that it was born in a litter, some people believe it. At that time, when she saw that Xiao Qian Qian also wanted to buy this beagle, she had silently given up hope, but Zhang Zi'an chose to sell it to her instead of leaving Xiao Qian money, she was quite grateful, why was she embarrassed not to pay?

Zhang Zi'an asked her, the two sides excused each other, and finally Zhang Zi'an asked Lu Yiyun to symbolically collect a dollar for the convenience of invoicing, and handed over the pet sale agreement to her, and the pet supplies she chose were also given away.

Mai Suzuhara thanked him again and again, promising that he would take good care of the beagle, and immediately got in touch with the seniors in the laboratory after returning to the dormitory.
