Chapter 22: Cat, Meow Takes You Home for Dinner

The two cats ate all the dried clams that they had replaced, Xu Jie, who had a bulging stomach, licked and licked his fur, while Mo lay in the shade on the side, squinting his eyes and began to nap.

Xu Jie, who had combed his fur, jumped to the black cat's side, spread out his limbs and lay beside it for a nap.

Xu Jie's attitude and actions that relied on him made Mo feel very happy, and he flicked his tail and asked lazily, "What did that human cub tell you just now?" โ€

Xu Jie opened his eyes when he heard this, thought about it and said, "Human cubs? You're talking about Kenta, right? The Fujimoto family is going to have a guest tonight, and Mrs. Fujimoto prepared a seafood hot pot, and Kenta asked me to go home for dinner, and he invited you to go back with me. โ€

Saying that, Xu Jie turned over, changed the lateral lying position to the lying position, and cautiously asked the black cat, "Mo, will you accept Kenta's invitation and go home with me?" โ€

Hearing this, the black cat opened its squinting golden โ–กโ–ก eyes, and said with a glittering look in its pupils: "I don't care what that human cub says, I just want to know if you want me to go back with you?" โ€

Hearing this, Xu Jie nodded again and again and said, "Of course, I have long wanted to introduce you to Kenta." โ€

The corners of Mo Wenyan's mouth turned up, and the beard on the side of his mouth shook with its movements, and it said in a deep voice: "Since it is what you want, then I will go with you to meet those humans in a while." โ€

The black cat, who was still lazily trying to take a nap, stood up, bothered himself for a while, and walked over to the catch warehouse.

Seeing this, Xu Jie hurriedly turned over and followed, and asked suspiciously as he walked, "Brother Mo, what are you going to do?" โ€

Hearing this, the black cat slowly walked forward and said without looking back: "I heard that there is a very strange rule on the human side, saying that it is the first time that outsiders are led by the younger generations of the family to recognize the door, and they need to bring gifts." โ€

Xu Jie said with black lines on his face when he heard this: "Brother Mo, what you said is that the hairy foot son-in-law came to the door." โ€

Hearing this, the black cat stopped, turned his head and asked, "What is a hairy foot son-in-law?" โ€

Xu Jie opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't know how to explain it, saying that there is no such term as son-in-law in the animal world, so how can it explain the meaning of this word?

So with Mo's strange gaze, Xu Jie was anxious for the word son-in-law, and in the end, he couldn't say a word.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mo was arranged by the gatekeeper to stay in a warehouse. Then he used a pile of rats and the gatekeeper to exchange for a piece of half a piece of bonito that weighed more than two catties with the head and tail.

Boito chunks are also called bonito chunks, which are actually dried bonito.

This fish, also known as bomb fish, is an important marine economic fish species in the tuna family Bonito.

After this fish is made into dried fish, the texture will become very hard, and it is known as the first of the seven weapons of the ocean.

This sentence is not a joke at all, with the hardness of dried bonito, ordinary knives can't help them. It is said that fishermen often use axes and sledgehammers when dealing with dried bonito.

In Japan, which is one of the major consumers of dried bonito, the dried bonito is sliced directly into fillets of different thicknesses with a flaker to make it easier to use this hard food.

One of the most famous is the bonito flakes that we are also familiar with.

Those of you who have eaten shabu-shabu should know that the flaker is used to deal with those frozen hard beef and mutton, and from this point you can get a glimpse of the hardness of bonito.

After getting the bonito pieces, Xu Jie urged me to go on the road early, and it felt that the doorkeeper's eyes were very wrong when he looked at it, and the smile on his face, how to look at it, made Xu Jie feel obscene.

Finding that the two cats were leaving, the gatekeeper was very considerate to find the bag and string, tied the dried bonito to the black cat's back, and said very enthusiastically that they must come here often.

With a strange feeling that he couldn't tell the uncle, Xu Jie followed the black cat and started the journey back.

Although he was carrying a heavy 'back armor', Mo still walked silently, as if the heavy thing on his back had never existed.

Xu Jie followed behind it, watching the bonito piece rise and fall on its back as Mo moved, pursing his lips and stealing fun in the back.

Coming to the outside of Fujimoto's apartment building, Xu Jie squatted on the ground and thought about it.

It stands to reason that the Fujimoto family has left a cat path for them, and if they want to go in, they can drill directly from there.

But Xu Jie looked at the black cat beside him, and for some reason he didn't want it to get in through the window.

Mo Ke was invited to bring a gift to the guest, Xu Jie felt that since this was the case, then even a cat should walk in from the main door of the owner's house in a dignified manner, so that it was not rude.

So Xu Jie took a look at the door of the apartment lobby, and then took advantage of the caretaker's lack of attention and slipped in from here with the black cat.

Stopping in front of the gate of Fujimoto's house, Xu Jie meowed loudly while scratching the door with his paws.

Soon there was the sound of someone running barefoot in the room, and then Xu Jie, who was sharp-eared, heard the little fat dun excitedly said inside: "I heard the cry of the Great Sage, it must be back." โ€

Saying that, the originally closed door was opened from the inside, and Kenta's chubby smiling face appeared in front of Xu Jie.

Finding that there was not only the Great Sage of his own family waiting outside the door, but also a black cat that looked very familiar, Kenta immediately shouted into the house: "Mom, the Great Sage has come home, and he has brought a friend back." โ€

Mrs. Fujimoto, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out wearing an apron when she heard this, and said as she walked, "Really? Isn't it that handsome-looking black cat? โ€

As she spoke, she saw the two cats squatting on the side of the entrance, and said with some surprise: "Is it really you?" Kenta told me this afternoon that you might have to come over, and I couldn't believe it. โ€

Hearing this, Xu Jie ran to Mrs. Fujimoto's lap, gently grabbed the foot of its apron with his teeth, and motioned for her to look at the black cat's back.

Only then did Mrs. Fujimoto see clearly that there was something on the black cat's back, and she glared and asked curiously, "What is this, and why is it tied to the black cat's back?" โ€

Kenta also saw the bag at this time, he studied Xu Jie's facial expressions, and then suddenly realized, "This is a gift, right?" What is on the back of the black cat is a gift that you have brought to us. โ€

Xu Jie nodded again and again when he heard this, and admired in his heart that he was worthy of Kenta, and he was really smart.

Seeing that Xu Jie actually nodded in agreement, Mrs. Fujimoto covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Oh my God, these two cats are really too smart. โ€

Xu Jie pushed the ink to Kenta's side, and motioned for him to find something to get down the pieces of bonito tied to the black cat's back, and it was very tiring to carry such a hard thing all the way.

This time, Mrs. Fujimoto, who was talking about her cat, also understood, she took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet next to her, and said while cutting the rope tied to its back for Mo: "Oh, it's good to come here, and what kind of gifts to bring, it's really too polite." โ€

Mrs. Fujimoto, who was quick with her hands and feet, removed the bag from the black cat's back.

Kenta jumped high into his mother's hand, wondering what the cats were bringing as gifts.

Mrs. Fujimoto was also curious about this, so she directly used the scissors in her hand to cut open the bag.

The dried bonito wrapped in it was quickly revealed, and Mrs. Fujimoto, who often cooked, was quite familiar with this thing, so she smiled and said, "It's bonito pieces, it's a great gift, and it's a great gift to make soup." I'll definitely use it when I mix the hot pot soup base, thank you so much. โ€

Saying that, she let go of her body and said, "I still have to go to the kitchen to cook, so I won't entertain you." Great Sage, bring your friends into the house. โ€

Xu Jie raised his head when he heard this, and almost kicked and walked towards the living room with Mo, although the piece of bonito was not obtained by Xu Jie, but it was very happy to hear Mrs. Fujimoto's words.

Being able to walk into a human home from the front entrance is a thing that cats are proud of.
