Chapter 9 Exclusive Goat's Milk
Taking advantage of the meal time, Ma Xiaofu also reported to Fangfang about the results of his investigation today.
According to Ma Xiaofu's personal forensic questioning, he has been able to determine that no one in the surrounding community has lost the cat, or that the person who lost the cat did not want to find the cat at all. At least, Ma Xiaofu didn't see any advertisements for cats, and the guards didn't receive any requests for help from the heads of households.
Fang Fang is also very happy about this result, because in this way, this ghostly little guy who doesn't know where he came from can be adopted justifiably.
"Okay, I'm full. β
Putting the last grain of rice in the bowl into his mouth, Ma Xiaofu put down his chopsticks and stood up from his seat in satisfaction.
"Not eating?"
"If you eat it again, I'll be a pig. β
"That's better than your current ribs. β
"It's called robustness. β
"Look at your sturdy, such a big man is less than 110 pounds, but it makes you fat. β
After a few words of bickering, Ma Xiaofu confessed, after all, the consequence of offending the chef is that there will be no food, and it is the meal he is most looking forward to in the day.
Ma Xiaofu walked to the door and took Chu Sheng's cat bowl to the house, and then finally opened the bag that had been hidden all night.
Fang Fang also stopped what she was doing and watched from the sidelines, she also wanted to know what strange things this little man was hiding.
"I thought it was, it turned out to be a can of milk powder. After seeing the mysterious thing revealing its figure, Fang Fang immediately glanced at Ma Xiaofu with disappointment and disdain.
"What, it turned out to be milk powder. Chu Sheng, who was hiding in the milk crate and eavesdropping, was also disappointed.
Ma Xiaofu didn't take Fangfang's contempt to heart, because he knew that Fangfang had lived in the city since he was a child and had never had the opportunity to raise a kitten.
"This is no ordinary milk powder, see, what is this drawing? What is this written about? Infant goat milk powder. In the absence of a female cat breastfeeding, this stuff is best suited for kittens. β
Fangfang chewed the rice in small bites, and understood what Ma Xiaofu meant: "You mean that this thing is bought for oranges to drink? β
"When I was a child, the big cat in the family gave birth to kittens, and sometimes the kittens were discarded because they were touched or smelled like other things, and I did that. But I was milking fresh goat's milk at the time. This fresh goat milk is not as popular as milk, it is not very easy to do, and there is no supermarket nearby, so I have to use this goat milk powder instead, it stands to reason that there should be no difference. β
Ma Xiaofu was nostalgic for his childhood, and his face showed a sense of excitement.
If you want to say that the quality of life in the city is good, Ma Xiaofu naturally can't refute it, after all, the income gap between urban and rural areas is there, and this is a fact that no one can change. But to say that city children are happier than country children, Ma Xiaofu doesn't think so. When I was a child, I herded sheep and cattle, caught grasshoppers and fish, touched crabs and fished for lobsters, and several children in the city experienced the fun of these things.
Ma Xiaofu pulled the lid of the milk powder hard, and said half-jokingly: "Fangfang, you said that relying on the intelligence of Tangerine now, can you become the kind of heavyweight star cat in Hollywood movies when you grow up?"
"I don't know if it can become a star cat, but based on the color of the orange, I guess it will definitely become a heavyweight~"
Chu Sheng, who was lying in the milk carton, was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but look at the color of his coat.
Carefully scooped two full spoonfuls of goat milk powder with a spoon and put them in Chu Sheng's bowl, and Ma Xiaofu put the hot water in the scoop and shook it left and right for a while.
When the temperature of the hot water dropped a little and it was not so hot, Ma Xiaofu poured it into Chu Sheng's bowl and stirred it with chopsticks.
"Oops, I didn't see it, is the action of making milk powder very skillful~"
Fang Fang watched from the side and couldn't help laughing.
"That's not it, when I have a son, I'll make milk powder!" Ma Xiaofu patted his chest proudly.
"Cut, I want my son wherever I go, and I haven't even decided to get married. β
Fangfang blushed and said a word of disgust, then lowered her head a little shyly to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"When I save money this year, I'll go to your house to propose, and then I can't think about it~"
"Hmm~"
Listening to the ambiguous private words of the two people in the room, Chu Sheng hurriedly covered one ear with his paw.
"Don't blame me, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I can only blame this ear for being too sensitive. β
When Chu Sheng pretended to confess in his heart, his milk crate was lightly knocked a few times.
Chu Sheng poked his head out of the cave and saw a bowl full of goat's milk. Not far away, Ma Xiaofu was squatting at the door with his hands in his arms.
Goat's milk, listening to it, you know that the smell should be very strong, Chu Sheng was a little resistant from the heart. However, after all, Ma Xiaofu is for his own good, and this thing that Ma Xiaofu said is still infant goat milk powder. Even if Chu Sheng didn't have a child in his previous life, he also knew that as long as the price of things linked to children was definitely not cheap, the smaller the better.
To sum up, Chu Sheng really couldn't refuse Ma Xiaofu's kindness.
Chu Sheng, who was entangled in all kinds of ways, sniffed lightly in the air, wanting to have a number in his heart. The imaginary rich smell did not appear, but a very light and thin milky flavor.
Seeing Chu Sheng grinding and chirping, Ma Xiaofu couldn't help but urge: "This is a good thing, it's expensive, I don't believe you can take a sip and taste it." β
"Hey, it's a big deal..."
Chu Sheng's heart was horizontal, and he quickly twitched up and down with his tongue, and then wrapped a trace of goat's milk in the tip of his tongue and sent it into his mouth.
After becoming a cat, Chu Sheng knew that drinking water would be so troublesome. Because cats can't hold water cups with their paws and their mouths aren't completely closed, it's impossible to suck water like a human would. You can imagine a person whose mouth is leaking everywhere, but he doesn't believe in evil and bows his head to absorb water.
The way of absorbing water cannot be used, and the cat has derived another way of drinking. This method is very fast and timing, and requires strict and meticulous control. First of all, the cat needs to stick out its tongue and bend it back, and when the tongue touches the surface of the water, it quickly retracts, relying on the attachment of the water, the tip of the tongue can carry a small column of water. The next thing you need is to seize the opportunity, quickly close the cat's mouth when the water column stretches to the longest and thickest, and if it is fast, it will drink less and waste physical energy, and if it is slow, it will be even worse, and the water will already fall back and you will not be able to drink it at all.
Now, Chu Sheng has also learned this elegant way of drinking water, in addition to part of the nature of cats, the more important reason is that the experience of life and death a few days ago made him have to quickly integrate these basic skills.
After tasting a sip of goat's milk, Chu Sheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It would definitely be a lie to say that there is no smell at all, but this kind of smell that is already so subtle that it can't be subtle is completely acceptable to Chu Sheng. Compared with the fragrant taste of milk, this goat's milk has a faint milky aroma and sweet taste in addition to the slight smell.
"Click, clickβ"
After Chu Sheng had no worries, he began to lick his milk quickly.
Ma Xiaofu took advantage of this kung fu to put his hand on Chu Sheng's body and began to pick up the cat. The soft touch made Ma Xiaofu feel like he was back in his childhood.
