Chapter 413: The Wind Blows, the Birds Fly
The craze for the reopening lasted all weekend, with almost half of the store's pets being sold, and even on Sundays, many customers came to see the ballet-dancing Abyssinians.
Wang Qian and Li Kun opened the Wanghaige Forum App on their mobile phones and let Zhang Zi'an see it, and the two keywords "Qiyuan Pet Shop" and "Abyssinian Cat" were almost swiped in the pet area. Curious melon-eating people have asked where this pet store is and want to see the kitten dance.
Not only in the forum, Weibo is also very popular, interested people are no longer just concentrated in Binhai City, because the good people say it is amazing, even many outsiders are itchy, especially in several nearby cities, because the distance is not far, some outsiders said that they will take advantage of the holiday to go to Binhai City to drive a self-guided tour, by the way to visit the pet store to open their eyes.
This popularity did not stop until the end of the weekend, after all, most people who are interested in high-end pets are young office workers, and even if they like pets, they must first earn money to fill their stomachs.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were the most tired when they were busy, and Zhang Zi'an gave them a day off on Monday to let them rest well and recharge their energy to meet the peak of passenger flow next weekend.
Monday morning.
I made an appointment to meet with Shengke at Binhai Film and Television City today, Zhang Zian knew that Shengke was very busy, but I wondered why there was time on Monday, which should have been busier today?
In any case, he woke up early as usual - from the cold, to be exact.
Gone are the days of sunny weekends. When he opened his eyes in the dark, he heard a whining sound outside the window, like a strong wind. Qiyuan Pet Store is an old-fashioned house, built 20 years ago, the window gaps are not too tight, every time this northwest wind howling weather, there will be a strong wind outside, a small wind inside, blowing the curtains undulating, chilling.
There was no trace of Richard on the clothes pole, and he knew that this thing must have gone under his clothes to sleep again, and he was too lazy to scold it anymore, it was useless, it was too thick-skinned and would only respond with foul language. He just wished it had wiped its ass clean before it got in...... He was wearing a sweater today, which was neither easy to wash nor dry, and it would be troublesome to rub on bird droppings.
Zhang Zi'an sat up from the bed and got dressed, picked up the sweater and saw that Richard was really below, sleeping on his back with his feet facing the sky, kicking his legs and twitching his wings from time to time. He put his sweater close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, but luckily he didn't smell the peculiar smell of bird droppings, otherwise he decided to open the window and throw Richard out of the room, so that he could experience the sour feeling of "the wind blows the birds flying......
Fina, Snow Lion, and Lao Cha all slept deeply, and Xinghai woke up when he sat up, waved at him with silver-gray eyes, and said "good morning" silently, and couldn't wait to open the door and go downstairs. The same is true of Pegas, which has long since woken up, lying on the blanket, staring blankly at the dim nightlight, his mind blank, thinking of nothing, just looking at it.
Hearing the sound of him getting up, Feimas rolled over and stood up, shaking the hair on his body, and looking at him expectantly. Ever since he heard that he was going to an audition today, he has been restless, he doesn't even want to drink his favorite red wine, and his appetite has decreased, like a soldier even if he goes to the battlefield.
Zhang Zi'an nodded at it, meaning to reassure it that the original plan would not change, and even if it was windy today, he would take it to the audition. Pemmas is a dog after all, and it is not good to stay indoors all the time, and he needs to go to the vast world outside to vent his excess energy, otherwise he will be depressed like this. Of course, Zhang Zi'an knows that it is depressed for more than that, but no matter whether he can pass today's audition or not, it is better to take it out for a walk.
Due to the fact that Wang Qian and Li Kun were given a day off, Zhang Zi'an went downstairs to clean up the cat litter and dog feces by himself, but fortunately, almost half of the pets were sold, and the work in the store was much easier. When he had simply cleaned up, the other elves had woken up and gone downstairs one after another.
"Quack! Who will be the first to realize the big dream? I know it in my life. The grass hall is full of spring water, and the day outside the bed is delayed!"
A day in the pet store still opens with Richard's obscene poetry.
Zhang Zi'an felt that the pronunciation of a few words in this poem didn't seem to be right, but he didn't bother to delve into it, for the poem that Richard reads, you will lose if you are serious.
Before the sound fell, Richard had already fluttered his wings and landed on his shoulder, "Quack!
Zhang Zi'an knew what it was going to say, and immediately denied it: "I'm not curious." ”
Richard stared at him speechlessly, "You're going to make the conversation go on like this." ”
"I'm not in the mood to talk to you, don't you just want to ask me who 'Chi Chi' is?" Zhang Zi'an angrily picked up a rag and buckled it on its head, "Go to work! Take this rag to wipe the table and display case." ”
"Oh, that's not fair, why don't those lazy cats have to work?" said Richard as he tried to get out from under the rag.
"Because they don't work, they don't talk nonsense either. Zhang Zi'an said the truth, "You talk a lot!"
"Alright, well, Uncle Ben, since the first day he came here, has known that you idiot is heavy on cats and light birds, and sooner or later he will let you know what it means to look down on people!" exclaimed Richard.
"Why do I look down on people?" said Pegasus, and ran over with his tongue out, waiting for Richard to give it an explanation.
Richard: "......"
It glanced at Flying Mars's white canine teeth and red tongue, and decided that it would be better to close its mouth and wipe the table......
Zhang Zi'an almost laughed! Nima called the disaster out of his mouth! He knew from the beginning that Richard's broken mouth would sooner or later bring himself into trouble.
Richard flew to the cashier table, grabbed the rag and wiped it around, smearing it for a while, and was done with the task.
Zhang Zi'an didn't expect it to be much clean, anyway, she would wipe it herself after Lu Yiyun came, this girl loves to be clean, she will clean her place before getting off work every night, and she will clean it again when she goes to work in the morning, and she will use wet wipes to wipe the gaps in the keyboard carefully.
Fina yawned and came down from the second floor, jumped on its exclusive cat climbing frame and continued to sleep, sometimes Zhang Zi'an wondered why it wanted to come down, and continued to sleep upstairs...... The snow lion followed behind him, and he was the least afraid of the cold in the room.
Lao Cha still lies in front of the TV in the posture of a peasant, watching the news with relish.
While cleaning, Zhang Zi'an listened to the host of the weather forecast predicting that the wind would cool down, and the maximum temperature during the day would drop to below 5 degrees, and the minimum temperature at night would drop to minus 10 degrees, which was not far from the day when the dripping water would turn into ice.
For today's audition, Zhang Zian only plans to take Pegasus to go. On such a cold and windy day, Fina was absolutely reluctant to go out, first, because it was cold, and secondly, it would blow her hair out of order. If Fina doesn't go, Snow Lion certainly won't either. Xinghai is afraid of people and can't go, and there is no need for old tea to go, so let them stay at home warmly.
When the roller shutter door was opened, Lu Yiyun was already waiting outside the door, freezing and pacing.
"Come in, it's cold outside, right?" Zhang Zi'an hurriedly pushed open the glass door to let her in.
"It's okay......" Lu Yiyun was so cold that her teeth trembled but she forced herself to stiffen her mouth, and the fact that she didn't take off her cotton coat after she entered the door proved that she was indeed very cold.
"You don't have to come so early in the future, there are no guests so early anyway. Zhang Zi'an said, "Delay it for half an hour." ”
Lu Yiyun shook his head, "I also paint at home, and I also paint here, so it's better to come early." ”
"I'm afraid you're catching a cold! I'll tell you in advance, it's hard to ask for leave from me!" Zhang Zi'an warned half-jokingly.
"Mr. Store Manager, are you going to Coastal Film and Television City today?" she slowed down for a moment, and her face finally turned a little bloody.
"yes, it's such a ghostly weather. Zhang Zi looked outside absently, only to see that the pedestrians passing by were all frozen and stiff, and their faces were pale.
"So, I'm alone today?" she whispered.
Zhang Zi'an retracted his gaze, "Are you afraid?"
"That's not ......" Lu Yiyun's face clearly had the word "scared" written on it, but he was afraid of him, "Mr. Store Manager, I want to ......"
"What?" Zhang Zi'an thought she had something particularly difficult to say.
She slurred, "I'm alone today, I want to bring my cat with me, okay?"
"Uh...... That's what you want to say?" Zhang Zi'an was alarmed, and said with a smile: "If you want to bring it, bring it, there are so many cats here, and it's not one of them." ”
"Great! Actually...... I've already brought ......" Lu Yiyun carried a backpack today, and when she turned around, a small beige head poked out of the opening of the schoolbag, which was her mixed-breed cat Jasmine.
She bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I brought it without permission...... Jasmine, say hello to Mr. Store. ”
Jasmine, who seemed to be as timid and shy as her owner, meowed timidly, and retracted half of her face into her bag, revealing only one pair of eyes.
Lu Yiyun watched the dancing of the kittens in the store, and after returning home, she hugged Jasmine and chattered for several days, envious to death. Today she finally made up her mind to bring Jasmine, in fact, she hoped that Zhang Zi'an could also teach Jasmine to dance - even if it wasn't ballet, just ordinary dance.
In her concept, it is difficult to teach a kitten to dance, and she even expressed her willingness not to pay this month's salary, as long as Zhang Zi'an can teach Jasmine to dance.
Such a trivial matter, Zhang Zi'an agreed. For him, Lu Yiyun is a rare painting talent, and the official account in the store can't do without her at all, as long as she is willing to stay, let alone ordinary dance, even if it is ballet, he will try his best to teach Jasmine.
With his promise, Lu Yiyun finally smiled at ease.

PS:
Speaking of the official account, many readers told me that they wanted to see the photos of cats such as Xinghai, Fina, and Old Man Tea in the book, and Queen Fina had long said that she wanted her subjects to look up to her prosperous beauty.
Therefore, the author has opened an official account, and everyone can follow it if they search for WeChat.
In the future, I will put all kinds of elves in the book on the official account for everyone to enjoy.
