Chapter 339: A Friend Comes from Far Away
"It's really unlucky!"
Zhang Zi'an looked at the sky, and the egg hurt.
He checked several yellow calendars, and all said that today was suitable for opening, so he was excited to prepare for the reopening today. However, when he got up in the morning, he opened the curtains and immediately threw out the yellow calendars through the window! An old lady who collected discarded newspapers passed under the back window with a cart and immediately picked them up like a treasure.
It's going to snow on Nima!
I looked up a bunch of yellow calendars but forgot to check the weather forecast!
The opening pays attention to a good opening, a good start, and the opening on a snowy day, there are ghosts coming to the door?
Forget it, the opening was postponed, and he didn't notify anyone anyway, and it all depends on his mood when it opens.
I always feel that I am lazy during this period of closure, and he is a little scared when he thinks of the busy days every day after the opening, so it is better to recruit a reliable clerk as soon as possible, so that he can be his hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.
Everything is normal in the store, the one who should play hide and seek, the one who should nap, the one who should drink tea, the nymphomaniac who should be nymphomaniac, and the noisy and noisy non-stop, so Zhang Zian also wants to do some normal things, such as lying on the recliner and daydreaming that the domineering Bai Fumei fell in love with me......
As soon as his butt touched the recliner, the automatic sensor door of the store opened, and a pair of customers with huge body sizes walked outside the door.
Zhang Zi'an glanced at it and immediately froze.
If he is not mistaken, these two have high noses and deep eyes, and their faces are clearly two crooked nuts!
It's really a prophecy! It is said that there are ghosts coming to the door, and there are really foreign devils coming to the door!
The man on the left is unusually burly, bald and red-faced, and a copy of Dwayne Johnson if he is a teenager younger. The woman on the right is relatively petite, with a fair face and curly blonde hair, and although she is old, you can tell that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young - that's not the point!
Zhang Zi'an's first reaction when he saw them immediately came to mind those old-fashioned episodes, such as these two were actually famous lawyers, and it took a lot of trouble to find him and tell him that a relative he had never met abroad had passed away, leaving behind a European-style castle by the sea and hundreds of millions of pounds in cash. Since this unlucky ghost has no immediate family, this huge inheritance will be inherited by Zhang Zi'an, and from then on he will become rich and handsome, sitting on the beauty of the world, and reaching the peak of life......
It's a pity that after looking at it twice, he dispelled this unrealistic idea, no matter how you look at these two don't look like famous lawyers, especially the big man on the left, he believes that he was sent by the debt collection company!
In addition, why are they still pulling two spicy suitcases? Zhang Zi'an swallowed nervously, and the bloody scenes in the European and American horror movies he had seen before suddenly came one after another!
Are they going to chop me up and put me in a suitcase and take it away? and then feed it to the dogs? Old man tea, you can't sit idly by, although I have been studying Wing Chun for a few days, but with this big man as my opponent, I must have been abused!
He looked at Lao Cha as if asking for help, but Lao Cha was just leisurely sipping tea and watching TV, and he didn't care at all!
Lauren patted off the few snow particles on her head and shoulders, then stood on tiptoe to help her husband pat off his shoulder. She looked around the room, and she knew the furnishings and layout of the store by watching the video repeatedly, but Fina on the cat climbing frame caught her attention. There's no way, Fina's aura is too strong.
She quietly rubbed her husband on the elbow and said in a low voice, "Honey, look at that golden cat on the shelf." ”
When Tim entered, his eyes fell on the frolicking kittens, who were running freely and playing happily around the room like the wind. Immediately afterward, he noticed the litter boxes lined up on the wall. He quickly counted silently in his mind, the number of litter boxes = the number of kittens + 1, and the same goes for food bowls and water basins.
It made a good first impression on him. He was a professional and didn't like to deal with laymen, and although it was not clear what the level of the shopkeeper was, he seemed to be at least much better than the idiot Allen at home......
Reminded by his wife, he looked up at the top of the cat's climbing frame, saw the golden cat that his wife had mentioned, and made eye contact with Fina.
Fina usually ignored the customers, but as soon as the two men entered the door, she smelled the scent they carried, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that their appearance was very different from that of the Orientals, which gave it some intimacy. Since it appeared in this ancient country, every day it is greeted by the facial features of Orientals, and suddenly seeing two Westerners with high noses and deep eyes makes its eyes a little confused for a while, as if it has returned to the days of a long time ago.
Lauren is not in charge of the day-to-day operations of Blue Peak, and her ability to identify cat breeds is slightly inferior to that of her husband, while Tim often takes his cat to CFA Tour tournaments and has seen many breeds of cats on the field.
Tim could recognize the kind of ordinary cat at a glance, but he stared at the golden cat for several seconds before cautiously saying to his wife, "It looks like an Egyptian cat, but I'm not sure ......"
Lauren took his hand and motioned not to talk about it yet, because a young Chinese was walking towards them, and it was the shopkeeper in the video.
"Mud howl!"
The only Chinese word she could speak blurted out. She learned the word from soap operas, and she had been looking forward to the day when it would come in handy, and today she finally got her wish......
Zhang Zi'an deliberately walked very slowly, thinking about the intentions of the two as he walked. If you exclude the curiosity setting of estate lawyers and debt collectors, judging by normal thinking, they should be travelers who came to China for tourism, so they are pulling two suitcases. But what do travelers do in pet stores? buy a pet to take with them? And looking at their tired appearance, they probably came straight here as soon as they got off the plane, and they didn't even have time to store their luggage at the hotel.
Could it be ...... Are they here to ask for directions?
He looked out the door at the leaden-gray overcast sky, silent and windless, small snowflakes falling silently, and in a moment the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
Maybe it's here to escape the snow. If this is the case, let them rest enough before leaving, and feel the hospitality of the Chinese.
Zhang Zi'an thought so, but heard Fina say lazily: "They have the smell of cat clans, and there are many of them." ”
With that, Fina closed her eyes and continued to nap. Snow days, sleeping days, although I usually sleep a lot.
Fina's voice was just a normal cat meow to Lauren and Tim's ears.
Zhang Zi'an's footsteps paused.
If I'm not mistaken, he heard Fina's words once, when a female colleague who owned a cattery came to spy in his shop, and Fina sniffed out her smell.
It seems that it is no coincidence that these two came to the store. If nothing else, they are also his peers, but I don't know if they opened a cattery or a pet shop, and I don't know their intentions, if it is to spy on the military, this is also too far......
The blonde lady's strange "mud howl" made him almost burst out laughing, and he recalled the sound and smile of his junior and high school English teachers lying in the coffin, cleared his throat and said in English, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Lauren and Tim looked at each other in surprise, the shopkeeper's English was more pure and skilled than they expected, it seemed that the previous worries were superfluous, and normal communication was no longer a problem.
"Hello, I'm Lauren Keller and this is my husband Tim. We're in a cattery near Los Angeles and we're a professional breeder. After seeing the video on Youtube, we were fascinated by the magical cat that can dance and come to visit you. ”
Lauren warmly extended her hand to him. She knew that her husband's size was easy to cause fear and misunderstanding among others, so she took the initiative to introduce herself.
Zhang Zi'an was stunned when he heard it!
She really overestimated his English, speaking too fast, and seemed to have some accent mixed in, using some local slang, and he didn't speak English for many years, and could only vaguely hear that her name was Lauren and her husband's name was Tim.
In desperation, he turned around and yelled upstairs, "Richard, come down and pick up the guests!"
