Tim and Lauren heard Zhang Zi'an shouting "Richard", they didn't know who he was shouting, and looked to the second floor, only to see a large gray shadow flying along with a quacking cry, landing on his shoulder impartially. When they looked closely, it turned out to be an African gray parrot that looked very clever.

Richard put his wings away, pressed them to his side, rolled his little black eyes and said, "What's the matter with Uncle Ben?"

Zhang Zi'an gestured to the two crooked nuts standing in front of him, "Help me hear what they are saying." ”

Tim and Lauren were stunned, although they couldn't understand what the gray parrot was saying, but it was obvious that it was talking to the young shopkeeper in Chinese, asking and answering, and that kind of suppressed voice could never be fake. They run a cattery and don't know anything about parrots, and even then they are deeply surprised.

Richard raised his eyes and said, "Ga? It turns out that there are two crooked people, no wonder you have to turn to Uncle Ben for help! What language do they speak?"

"English. Zhang Zi'an defended himself, "Actually, I can understand, but they speak too fast, and I can't keep up." ”

Richard glared at him with disdain, "If you don't understand, you can't understand, what are you pretending! Let them say it again, Uncle Ben listen." ”

Zhang Zi'an smiled apologetically at them and said in English, "I'm sorry, please say it again?"

"Uh......" Lauren came back from her surprise and repeated what she had just said, only this time she unconsciously said a little slower, Zhang Zi'an understood more even without the help of Richard, and stepped forward to shake hands with the two of them.

When he got closer, he realized that Lauren was not petite, taller than most Chinese women, but only standing beside her husband and reflecting the petite. And Tim this big guy...... The closer he got, the stronger the oppressive force Zhang Zi'an felt, and quickly retreated to a safe distance after shaking hands.

"They watched the video of the kitten dancing and came to visit. Richard explained succinctly.

Come and visit...... Zhang Zi'an glanced at their big bags and small bags, did he come to visit so much?

He was not a fool, and he knew that coming to visit was just a kind word - nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, not to mention coming from Los Angeles across the ocean, it was not as simple as a visit.

Zhang Zi'an was thinking about how to reply, so he heard Richard respond in English impatiently: "Gaga! I'm Richard Jefferson, this is Jeff Richardson, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Your uncle!" Zhang Zi'an was about to play it, "Why did you even change your surname to me!"

Richard deftly dodged, "Okay, okay, I can't help you." Sorry for the slip of the tongue! To reintroduce you, I'm Richard Jeffson, this is Jeff Chang, it's nice to meet you! Call me Richard, just call him Jeff. This sentence is preceded by Chinese and followed by English.

Jeff Chang is pretty much the same, let's make do with it...... Zhang Zi'an didn't bother with it anymore.

Tim and Lauren's jaws were about to drop, this parrot spoke standard BBC English, the words were round, elegant and decent, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never think it was a parrot talking! The most shocking thing for them was that this parrot could both Chinese and English, which was amazing!

Zhang Zi'an sighed when he saw their expressions, and sure enough, he should have kept a low profile, and he said to them in English: "Sorry, leave for a while." With that, he took Richard to the second floor.

"What's the matter? Uncle Ben is trying to show off his skills!" complained Richard.

"That's right, you'll be taken away and sliced when you're done. Zhang Zi'an glared at it, "What if these two people are disguised as CIA, FBI, KGB, and SCP?"

Richard: "...... The first three Uncle Ben can't be sure, and the last one is definitely thinking too much!"

"In short, we have to keep a low profile. Zhang Zi'an said toughly.

"Actually, you want to pretend to be forced and not let Uncle Ben pretend to be forced, right?" However, Richard had already seen through everything.

Zhang Zi'an bent his fingers to play, and threatened with red fruit: "Your uncle! said that he would help me find a girlfriend, but now I haven't even seen a single hair of my girlfriend, and you still have the face to bargain with me!"

"Okay, this matter is considered Uncle Ben's loss, and he rashly took on an epic task, so I'll help you pretend to be forced for the time being. Richard said helplessly, "Then what do you say?"

Zhang Zi'an thought about it and said: "In this way, you stand on my shoulder after being invisible, and when you want to speak, your paw will pinch my shoulder, and I will open my mouth to lip-synch, so that it sounds like I am talking." ”

Richard thought for a moment, "It's okay, but what does Uncle Ben have to say?"

"Adaptable. The main thing is to ask them what their purpose is, what they want, try to strive for the greatest benefit, and take not taking advantage or suffering a loss as the standard. ”

Richard: "...... Okay, but what tone is Uncle Ben going to use to speak?"

"What's the tone?" asked Zhang Zi'an, puzzled.

"English also has different accents, what accent do you want Uncle Ben to use?"

Zhang Zi'an didn't think of this question, "Whatever...... What accents do the two of them have?"

Tim and Lauren were wandering around the first floor of the shop, their eyes frequently falling on Fina, whispering a few words in English from time to time to discuss the species of the golden cat.

Richard listened for a moment and said, "Although they all speak American English, the woman has some rustic Australian accents, and the man has a Texas dialect or two from time to time. ”

"Texas dialect?" Zhang Zi'an was stunned, "The man who has been making trouble for a long time is a Shandong man?"

"Texas, you idiot!" Richard complained, "Your Shandong man looks like this?"

“...... I don't understand, you can do it. Zhang Zi'an waved his hand at it, leaving the matter to it to deal with, and read out the game's built-in instructions, "Dr. Erin Pepper's lovebird, stealth!"

Richard went into stealth, and Zhang Zi'an took it back downstairs.

"I'm sorry, you two have been waiting for a long time, and suddenly there are some things to deal with just now. Richard pinched Zhang Zi'an's shoulder with his paws, mimicking his tone and said.

Zhang Zi'an grinned in pain, Nima didn't let you use such a big force! This is definitely revenge, I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!

He broke his thoughts in his heart, and opened his mouth to shape his mouth.

Tim and Lauren looked at each other in amazement, they didn't seem to notice just now, this shopkeeper actually spoke a mellow London accent?

Richard chose the London accent as Zhang Zi'an's pronunciation because he knew that many Americans liked and could even be said to be obsessed with the London accent, and self-deprecating American English was broken English, and using the London accent was in line with Zhang Zi'an's purpose of not pretending to die.

"We need to apologize for taking up your time without an appointment. Lauren said apologetically, "We watched a video of your kitten dancing in your store on Youtube, and we couldn't contain the excitement in our hearts, but we couldn't find your contact information, so we had to visit rashly." Before we came, we were worried about the language barrier, but your English is beyond our expectations......"

Richard pinched Zhang Zi'an with his claws, and opened the river: "Ga...... Well, in fact, I lived in the UK for a few years, where I did my PhD in English and Applied Linguistics from Cambridge University. ”

Tim and Lauren: "......" Ph.D. from Cambridge University have come to open pet stores, and the competition in China's pet industry is so fierce?

Zhang Zi'an either lip-synced or smiled, and his cheeks were sour with a smile. He can't speak, he can listen, he can understand part of the conversation, he knows that Richard is making a bad deal again, and he is pretending to be too much!

"The two of you have come from far and wide to make our store shine, please sit down and talk. Richard pinched Zhang Zi'an again.

Zhang Zi'an understood the "sit down", so he raised his hand to signal the chair in the store for customers to rest, this is still the bar high chair brought by Guo Dongyue during the renovation, and there was only one broken four-legged steel tube chair in the store before.

He stared at Tim's ass wistfully, praying for the gods and Buddhas not to crush the brand-new chair.

Fortunately, the chair just creaked and barely held on.

It's just that Richard seems to have misunderstood something again, and lets out a few low snickers.
