Chapter 25: How Fat Are You?
Xiao Qi's office on the second floor is looking through the account books, and generally speaking, the pet store's profit this month is still good, and most of the funds are used to update pet grooming equipment, high-end pet supplies, and renovate the medical room.
However, this is also a necessary investment, at least many of the friends introduced by Ling Ya have stayed because of the professional service of the pet store.
Newly opened pet stores generally belong to the time to recover costs within a year, and only when the source of customers and members in the store consume stably is the time to really make money.
Xiao Qi stretched his waist and looked out the window, only to see a black cat sitting quietly on the windowsill looking at him, with a white cloth in his mouth.
"You're here, come in and sit. Xiao Qi closed the ledger and said hello with a smile.
The black cat jumped from the windowsill to Xiao Qi's desk without making a sound, put the white cloth on the table, sat down with his tail curled, and raised his front paws to comb his beard.
The stitches on its ears have been removed, and Wu Liu's stitching technique is also quite good, and there are really no traces if you don't look closely.
Xiao Qi touched the black cat's head, its hair was a little messy, and it felt greasy, so he said to it, "It's time for you to take a bath." ”
The black cat looked at Xiao Qi and said, "I've washed it." ”
Xiao Qi rubbed a handful of hair from the black cat's head, and felt that his fingers had become sticky: "I really want to interview, do you have any misunderstanding about bathing? ”
"Just roll on the sand piles for a while, and then shake off the sticky sand, I have a lot of them. The black cat said seriously.
Well, it's a very high-tech way to take a bath.
"No wonder I rubbed it for you just now, and it made a lot of sand, you stay in a garbage heap like that, how can you wash it clean, why don't you consider washing it with water? I have all the facilities here." ”
The black cat raised his head, stared at Xiao Qi, and said resolutely: "Don't!"
Xiao Qi really didn't have much to do about the black cat's stubborn temper, so he didn't say more.
Xiao Qi knocked on the table and said to the bell lying on the ground, "You go down and get a bag of cat food." ”
The bell answered, stood up and went downstairs.
The black cat's ears moved, turned its head to stare at Xiao Qi's bookshelf against the wall, and slowly stood up, its tail slightly raised, and paused in the air.
Xiao Qi looked at it with some curiosity and asked, "Are you also interested in books, it's okay to show you, but you are not allowed to tear it." ”
The black cat ignored Xiao Qi, his ears moved slightly, and he jumped off the table silently, and walked towards the bookshelf step by step, his footsteps were also silent.
Xiao Qi folded his arms and tilted his head to look at the black cat: "Who are you?"
"Shh
I don't believe that a cat is booing me?
Xiao Qi stared at the big eyes, the black cat stopped, stopped in the air on its front legs, and said softly, "There's a mouse there." ”
Xiao Qi smiled, thinking to himself: How can there be mice running to me, not counting this black cat, I have three cats upstairs, uh, the fat tiger is not a lazy thing, no matter how you look at it, the little guy doesn't look like he can catch mice, it seems that the captain is more reliable.
Why would a rat come here to die, rat?! It can't be it, right?
Xiao Qi thought of a terrible thing, and hurriedly stopped it: "Wait, keep the rat under the claw!"
The black cat had already flipped out a big-headed book at the bottom of the bookshelf, and grabbed the hamster jelly inside with its sharp claws, and stopped when he heard Xiao Qi's words, and the paws were only a few inches away from the little jelly's nose.
Little Jelly was standing upright, holding a pine nut and gnawing on it as if no one was around, and was stunned when he saw the claws stretched out.
Its eyes stared at the black cat's dark blue vertical pupils, and its mouth was half-open, as if it was stunned.
Time seemed to stand still, and at this time, Little Jelly stretched out her tongue and licked the pine nuts in her mouth, looking like she was going to eat first if she died.
The black cat seemed curious, lowered its head and sniffed the little jelly, and moved its beard.
Little Jelly seemed to freeze her whole body, and fell straight forward with pine nuts in her arms, lying on the ground.
The black cat's paws gently flicked its body, and the little jelly remained motionless, allowing the black cat to fiddle.
It's just that its two little hands have always held on to the pine nuts tightly and haven't let go, and they pretended to be dead and pretended to be so unserious, this actor is too unprofessional.
The black cat turned to Xiao Qi and asked, "How is it different from the mice I've seen?"
"Because it's not a mouse. ”
Xiao Qi rubbed its belly with his fingers and said with a smile: "Little jelly." ”
Little Jelly quickly got up and ran away, and Xiao Qi and the black cat just watched it.
It escaped from the clutches of the devil and scrambled around, raised its calves and grabbed the curtains, and crawled into the air in small steps, finally feeling safe.
Little Jelly turned her head and stared at the black cat with her little eyes, moved her ears, and looked very proud: "Do you want to fight?!"
When can a little hamster float in front of a black cat, how fat and guts must this be, and is your little body the size of a paw?
If bragging can be used as a weapon, you've already won.
The black cat looked up at Xiao Qi, obviously unable to understand Little Jelly's behavior.
Xiao Qi spread out his hand and laughed dryly: "Hehe, very humorous hamster." ”
At this time, the bell came back with a bag of cat food, Xiao Qi took a white cloth to wrap the cat food, tied it to the black cat, and said, "Be careful on the road." ”
The black cat turned its head to look at Xiao Qi, jumped on the windowsill in a few steps, and then jumped down.
The little jelly holding the curtain watched the black cat pass in front of her eyes, and was so frightened that she almost fell down, but it was not easy to stabilize her body, but she still said stiffly: "This stupid person, if you jump down, you must have fallen to your death." ”
"Don't run around in the future, you little guy, I'm here this time, or your life will be gone. Xiao Qi grabbed the small jelly and put it in his hand and walked down the stairs.
The pet store is still idle today, and most of the customers come to see pet supplies, or buy dog food and cat food, which is relatively normal.
After all, if every day is such a hot business a few days ago, even if the employees of the pet store are happy, they will be tired and half dead.
Wu Liu went to a doctor for a member of the store, probably because the pet of that family was inconvenient to go out.
Xiao Qi finished the accounts and came to the first floor, where Fang Ling and Lu Cheng sat on the sofa outside the beauty room and chatted.
Mu Kite sat at the front desk, in front of him was a house prepared for Little Jelly, a small two-story building with a balcony and a swimming pool, although it was only an ornamental hamster hut, it felt more luxurious than an ordinary house.
Xiao Qi's pet store runs a cat and dog business, and he originally proposed to buy a small wooden cage, give a small staircase for the little jelly to run, and use this energetic little hamster as a "perpetual motion machine", but Wu Liu and Mu Yuan immediately rejected his proposal.
Seeing that everyone else was free, Xiao Qi proposed to take the opportunity to have a team building activity, and four people would play flying chess.
Mu Yuan just glanced at Xiao Qi and refused: "Who will come to see the store after all the plays?"
Fang Ling hurriedly said: "Let's play here, we can see the guests come in, and we won't delay, Sister Mu come and play." ”
Mu Yuan rolled her eyes: "Did the guests come in and see us playing flying chess together?" leave such an impression on the guests, it is strange that they will come next time, you go inside to play." ”
Fang Ling stuck out her tongue, Xiao Qi originally had this idea, but after Mu Yuan said this, she felt that she was reasonable, so she led Fang Ling and Lu Cheng into the pet grooming room.
The upper part of the grooming room is covered with glass, so that guests can see their pets inside while waiting, and there is a distance of seven or eight meters from the front desk.
You can also see it from the door, but you need to get close to see what is going on in the beauty salon, so it's a good location.
Because Mu Yuan righteously refused, Xiao Qi took Fang Ling and Lu Cheng to play the classic game of fighting landlords.
