Chapter 382: Distant Relatives
There are many colors of Pomeranians, the mainstream colors are generally white, black, brown, reddish-brown and cream, in addition to these there are variegated colors, cream and variegated Pomeranians are not very popular.
Zhang Zi'an estimated that if he guessed correctly, the original color of the Pomeranian, which was dyed reddish-brown, should have been variegated or cream, and after being bought by the vendor at a low price, it was dyed reddish-brown and sold.
Generally speaking, young people in urban areas are more likely to buy white Pomeranians, while near the urban-rural interface, reddish-brown Pomeranians are more popular because they are more recognizable than other colors. If you make a strict distinction between dog markets, pet stores, catteries and kennels, there are certain differences in the customer audience in these places.
Unlike other dogs, the real reddish-brown Pomeranian is an inconspicuous gray hair before it is about 1 year old, but it is actually a layer of fetal hair, and when it grows up, it will grow beautiful reddish-brown hair, like the sublimation of an ugly duckling to a white swan.
Zhang Zi'an does not have reddish-brown Pomeranian dogs in his shop, and as far as he knows, many pet stores and kennels do not have them, because customers don't buy them - I obviously want a reddish-brown one, you give me a gray one, what's the matter? Even if you patiently explain to the customer, please rest assured that the dog will turn reddish-brown in a few months, the customer may not believe it, after all, the word "integrity" is not worth much in these years.
Anyway, I can't explain it clearly, so I just don't sell it, so why bother myself?
The Hiromi in front of me, I'm afraid it's only three or four months old, but it has a striking reddish-brown hair, and if you rule out the possibility of genetic mutations, then it is properly dyed.
Dyeing Bomei, and the process of dyeing chicks is still not the same, you need to use a brush dipped in a dye brush, slightly technical content, of course, it is impossible to use any high-grade dyes, eighty percent is a strong dye for industrial use, the price is cheap and sufficient.
When the middle-aged woman next to her heard that she had hugged Hiromi just now, she quickly subconsciously rubbed her palm on her pants.
No one could have imagined that this lively Bomei in front of her was suffering from the double torture of illness and poison, and if it wasn't for taking a lot of painkillers to suppress it, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground and convulsed.
Zhang Zi'an sighed: "Dogs are different from chickens, they sell slowly, and this kind of dyed dogs are probably only sold on weekends when there is a lot of traffic, which happens to let us catch up." ”
The middle-aged woman was secretly afraid that if it weren't for Zhang Zi'an and they happened to come over, she would buy the dog that was about to die home, lose money, complain, and be sad......
Deng Jie is also gloomy, no matter if she bought a Shiba Inu or a Pomeranian last time, she will inevitably be deceived, the water in the dog market is too deep.
Liu Moumou was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he kept scolding and scolding. If this Pomeranian had just been sold, he would have earned more than 1,000 yuan, but if he had smashed it in his hand, he would have lost a few hundred yuan, and he would have lost 2,000 yuan inside and out! Seeing that the weather is not good today, and it may snow at any time, it is estimated that there will be no guests in the afternoon, can he not be in a hurry......
The middle-aged woman is not easy to bully, as soon as she heard Liu Moumou scolding Huai, she was angry, and immediately scolded him. The two did not give in to each other, the scolding war continued to escalate, the content was wonderful, and the foul language was endless. Zhang Zi'an was not interested in listening to their scolding, patted Xiaoxue on the shoulder, and glanced at Deng Jie again, and the three of them took advantage of the chaos to leave quietly.
"Today I was kind of an eye-opener. Deng Jie shook her head and smiled bitterly, "In the future, I'd rather not buy a pet than come to the dog market to buy it." ”
"The words can't be said too absolutely, there must be serious traders in the dog market, and there are also real domestic pets to sell, but there are few. However, if you don't know much about pets, it's best to go to a regular place to buy it and spend money to buy it with peace of mind. Zhang Zi'an pointed to the pigeon seller not far away, "Canine plague and small test strips are easy to buy from the Internet, but parrot hot test strips are rare, and you need to be more cautious when buying birds." ”
They walked around for less than an hour, but only visited a small part of the dog market, many places they just passed by without stopping, such as selling cold-water fish tropical fish, selling all kinds of birds, selling all kinds of rodents and all kinds of turtles, because these pets Zhang Zi'an is not familiar with it, it is not easy to judge rashly.
Xiao Xue's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly pointed ahead, and shouted in surprise: "Mr. Store Manager, look, is that a leopard seller?"
Zhang Zi'an glanced at it and said with a smile: "Impossible, although it is a three-way zone, it is not enough to sell leopards in broad daylight...... That's an ocelot, why don't we go over and have a look?"
"Yes, Mr. Storekeeper, you don't seem to have an ocelot in your store, right?
"It's not. Bengal leopard cats are relatively rare, at least I haven't heard of any pet stores or catteries in Binhai City that sell them. Zhang Zi'an said with reservations, after all, he didn't know much about the situation of other pet stores, and it was doubtful whether this was a real Bengal leopard cat.
The ID in the dog market trading group is "three-year-old Ernie", but the vendor who is called "the third child" by others suddenly felt a headache when he saw Zhang Zi'an and them coming. He knew that Liu Moumou had been planted in their hands, and the dyed Bomei was not sold, and maybe it was put on the Internet for onlookers to watch, which was a big shame, how could he mix in the dog market in the future?
However, he was often ridiculed in the trading group for not opening for three years, and he was still more confident in his own ocelot. He decided to ignore them and serve the rich second generation in front of him first.
When Zhang Zi'an and the others approached, they saw a young man wearing sunglasses picking out an ocelot. The young man, who was about 20 years old, had a green beard on his chin, was covered in name tags, and had a bunch of keys on his fingers with the striking BMW logo.
"Boss, how much does this ocelot cost?" he asked, pointing to one of the prettiest ocelots in the cage.
The third child stretched out a slap, "Fifty thousand." ”
The young man groaned for a while, but didn't say anything, but Xiaoxue exclaimed, "It's so expensive!"
"Huh?" the young man heard this voice a little familiar, and when he looked back, his eyes fell on Xiaoxue's face.
"Yes...... Xiaoxue?" he asked, uncertain.
Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at his face, she didn't expect that someone would know her here, she was deeply surprised. She felt that the man in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
Zhang Zi'an didn't know why, and asked casually: "Are you a fan?"
Xiaoxue is a well-known local anchor, and it is normal to be recognized when walking on the street, so Zhang Zi'an was not surprised.
The young man took off his sunglasses, pointed to his nose and said, "Don't you know me?" I'm Lin Qi, we met two or three years ago. ”
"Ahh Lin Qi is a distant relative of hers, and he met at a family party in the hotel a few years ago, and he should be called a brother in terms of seniority. However, the Jiang family and the Lin family usually have no dealings, and she doesn't know much about this seventh brother.
"Xiaoxue, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you haven't changed at all!How about it, are your uncle and aunt okay?" Lin Qi glanced at Zhang Zi'an and Deng Jie, and greeted Xiaoxue.
"TOEFL TOEFL, they are all in good health!" Xiaoxue was a little anxious, she didn't want to interrupt the live broadcast halfway, and she didn't want to reveal her identity, so she didn't know what to do. She always felt that once the fact that she was also a rich second generation was exposed, she would be estranged from the audience.
"Tsk, I heard that my uncle's business is getting bigger and bigger, but nothing is more important than physical health, right?" Lin Qi put on his sunglasses again.
Zhang Zi'an heard it at this time, it turned out to be Xiaoxue's acquaintance in reality, and it was likely that he was still a relative. He didn't want to interject, so he walked to the cage and watched the ocelot inside. The audience in the live broadcast room was talking, speculating about where this seventh brother came from and what it had to do with Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue was so anxious that she was sweating, coping with it casually, thinking about how to change the topic as soon as possible.
"Brother Seven, did you come to the dog market to buy pets?" she asked.
Lin Qi nodded, pointed to the leopard cat in the iron cage and said, "I heard that leopard cats are sold here, so I came over to take a look, and if it is suitable, I plan to buy one." What about you, Xiaoxue, who are also here to buy pets? What a coincidence that I can meet you here. ”
"Hmm...... I didn't plan to buy it, I just took a look at it......" Xiaoxue said vaguely, she turned her eyes to look at Zhang Zi'an and Deng Jie, and hurriedly introduced: "Ah, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is Deng Jie's eldest sister, this is Zhang Zi'an, the manager of a pet store, if you want to buy an ocelot, you might as well ask him to help you with the staff?
"Oh?" Lin Qi heard that Zhang Zi'an opened a pet shop, and subconsciously thought that he was invited by Xiaoxue to help choose pets.
"Hello, I'm Lin Qi, Xiaoxue is my distant sister. He stretched out his hand to Zhang Zi'an.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Zi'an, as Xiaoxue said, I run a pet shop. Zhang Zi'an shook hands with him.
The third street vendor secretly called it unlucky, but he didn't expect them to be related to this rich second generation, it seems that this money may not be able to be earned today......
Xiao Xue was afraid that Lin Qi would say something again, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Qi, are you going to buy an ocelot here?"
Lin Qi nodded and said, "It's more expensive, there's no way, I asked my friends, it seems that there is no other place in Binhai City to sell leopard cats except here...... And ocelots in other cities don't seem to be cheap either. ”
"What's so good about this cat, it's so expensive!" Xiaoxue asked.
"Because it's handsome, isn't it? Lin Qi shrugged.
Zhang Zi'an's first impression of this Lin Qi is not bad, although he looks like a rich second generation, but except for the appearance of a little profligate, he is not as arrogant and domineering as the rumored rich second generation.
