Chapter 78: The Invited Cat
Etsuko Fujimoto, who hadn't seen her for a while that day, suddenly called Fujimoto's house, saying that she had something to discuss with her brother and sister-in-law.
That night, Mrs. Fujimoto went home a little early, prepared a delicate dinner at home, and waited with her husband for Etsuko to come over.
It didn't take long for the little fat man who was guarding the window to come over and report, "Mom, I saw my aunt's car, and there were still people sitting on her co-pilot, is it that Ishikawa-sensei came with my aunt?" ”
When Mrs. Fujimoto heard this, she summoned her bean-like son over and asked him to do it obediently.
As for Etsuko's boyfriend, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come over, anyway, when she prepares the meal, she has already prepared enough of it.
Hearing the doorbell, Junko went over to open the door, and sure enough, there were two people standing at the door.
Dressed in professional attire, Etsuko Fujimoto is full of elite temperament, and Katsura Ishikawa is wearing sportswear and carrying a gift in her hand.
Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto welcomed them into the house very warmly, and the family gathered around the table to eat and talk.
After dinner, Mrs. Fujimoto washed some fruit and brought it to them, and drank the tea in her hand, Etsuko explained the purpose of her visit to her brother and sister-in-law.
It turned out that there was an animal exhibition going to be held in Kyoto, and this time she came to ask the Great Sage to help.
After listening to their little sister's explanation, the Fujimoto couple looked at each other, and then went to see Xu Jie, who was squatting on the ground and playing with the big black cat.
Dr. Fujimoto observed Xu Jie for a while, and found that his family's great sage didn't seem to be very interested in what his sister had just said.
So he said, "You said that there is going to be an animal exhibition in Kyoto, and I hope that our great sage can come over." However, the animal exhibition judges some competition-level cats, and the requirements are breed and pedigree. But you also know that the great sage of our family, although he is very smart and understanding, but the bloodline of the tanuki cat is also mixed with the blood of some American shorthair cats. Such a blood-doped cat may not even be able to obtain the qualification at the animal exhibition, let alone others, so I might as well forget it. ”
Hearing this, Etsuko put down the teacup in her hand and said: "I didn't make this matter clear, this time the sponsor of the Kyoto Animal Show is the pet food manufacturer that our Great Sage endorsed before." As a sponsor, of course, they hope that the popularity of this animal exhibition will be more popular, so they thought of our great sage. This time, the sponsor's reward is very generous, and it would be a pity to miss it. ”
When Fujimoto heard this, he glanced at his tanuki cat again, and found that it was holding the tail of the big black cat and gnawing on it, and it didn't mean to come over at all.
Seeing this situation, Dr. Fujimoto had no choice but to continue: "It seems that our family's Great Sage still doesn't want to go over, as for the remuneration or something, after the last time the Great Sage finished filming that advertisement, the cat food and canned cat food he got were enough for a cat to eat for ten years, so there is really no need for anything for the time being." ”
Hearing this, Etsuko thought for a while and said, "This time the animal exhibition is an outside ticket, and each ticket is 300 yen. Both the sponsor and the organizer said that for every ticket sold, they would donate 10 yen to the house of small animals in the capital. Donate as much as you sell, and never break your promise. ”
Hearing Yuezi say this, Xu Jie, who was originally having fun with Mo on the side, stopped his frolicking movements and turned his head to make a look of listening to you.
Finding that she had finally attracted the attention of her brother's particularly smart raccoon cat, Etsuko couldn't help but make persistent efforts to say: "The small animal house in the capital is mainly doing to shelter and treat stray small animals. At present, they have a large funding gap, and the sponsors and organizers have come up with such a plan after learning about it, although it is not ruled out that there is some suspicion of speculation, but they have already set up donation/donation accounts. The three-day animal exhibition will be paid at 8 p.m. every night, and the part of the ticket price that needs to be donated will be taken out in front of the public, and it will be sent to the small animal house on the spot. I wondered if it had anything to do with the hype since people were willing to donate/money, after all, in the end, it was the sick and injured or wandering animals who benefited. So when the manufacturer asked for our Daisheng to come over and increase the popularity of the animal exhibition, I thought about coming over and asking. Of course, it would be better if the big cat next to the Great Sage could also go with him, this pair of national CPs is very popular now, and it will definitely make the cat show sell more tickets. ”
Looking at Mo, who had been rubbing against the tanuki cat, Etsuko said.
Xu Jie tilted his head when he heard this, he thought about it, he was not interested in being a star or getting paid or anything now.
The guys who follow behind it when you go out for a run every day are enough to make yourself eye-catching, and it's useless to boost its fame.
However, Etsuko said later that it was very agreeable to donate money to the small animal house.
As the saying goes, don't care about black cats and white cats, you are good cats if you can catch a mouse.
So the sponsors and the organizers want to hype it up, or the rest, as long as they are really willing to donate/money, they will do it.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jie agreed to Etsuko's request in his heart, but if Mo wanted to go over, he had to ask his own opinion.
So Xu Jie tilted his head, and Meow Meow whispered to the big black cat and asked, "Mo, I'm going to Kyoto to participate in an animal exhibition, do you want to go with me?" ”
Mo Wenyan moved his beard and asked, "How many days are you going?" ”
Xu Jie thought about what Yuezi had just said and returned: "It should be three days." ”
The big black cat, who had just been popularized by Xu Jie, about the relationship between heaven and hour, silently calculated it in his heart.
Well, if a day is 24 hours, then 3 days is 242424 equals 72.
It's 72 hours so long, of course I can't tolerate it, I must follow the little raccoon.
So Mo, who had very good mental arithmetic skills, agreed without hesitation to accompany him.
After getting an answer from Mo's side, Xu Jie trotted a few steps and jumped onto Dr. Fujimoto's lap.
Dr. Fujimoto, who is familiar with all the body language of his animals, knows that the Great Sage must have agreed.
So he took the initiative to take out the pen he had always carried with him, and motioned for his sister to take out the agreement.
Early the next morning, Etsuko, who was in a hurry to leave to go back to preside over things, said goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law's family and her boyfriend, and drove her SUV with Xu Hemo in the direction of Kyoto.
Xu Jie, who was called up early in the morning, couldn't enjoy the scenery on the road, and he hadn't woken up yet, and he and Mo lay on the back seat to make up for sleep.
Before eight o'clock. Etsuko drove the car to the host venue of this animal exhibition, unbuckled her seat belt, and said to the two cats who were still sleeping in the back seat, "Great Sage, and uh, this is just called Daikoku, right?" Hurry up, you two, we're here. ”
Xu Jie, who hadn't woken up yet, got up with a sigh of relief, and didn't forget to push the ink up with his paws.
Etsuko got out of the car and opened the car door for the two of them, and Xu Jie and Mo jumped out of the car one after the other.
It's said to be an animal show, but it's actually a pet show. Among them, the most common animals are cats and dogs, after all, these two are still the absolute mainstream among human pets.
Taking advantage of the animal exhibition, the pet food merchant wanted to extend its tentacles farther.
So at this animal or pet exhibition, in addition to the cats and dogs who were brought to participate in the competition and the crowd that came to watch the excitement, the most people were the sales ladies who were hired by the manufacturer to sell.
The ladies were dressed in uniform but carried different things in their hands, including food rations for cats and dogs, as well as toys and clothes for them.
The pet rations in the front are the main business of the manufacturer, while the clothes, accessories and toys in the back are the latest developments of the company.
In order to ensure that their own things can be a hit at this pet exhibition, the sponsor can be said to have invested enough money this time.
Not only did Etsuko invite her brother and sister-in-law to invite Xu Jie and Mo, a pair of national CPs, to come over to warm up, but also invited other animal stars to come over to help.
The animal stars are arranged in a unified venue, which has been arranged in advance by the organizers.
The inside is covered with soft eco-friendly colored foam, and the outside is also fenced with a wooden fence to isolate/separate the animal stars inside from the outside visitors.
Among these animal stars who were invited, Xu Jie and Mo's factory can be regarded as the most special.
The rest of the animals were either brought over in cages, or were led by their owners with ropes, only Xu Jie and Mo came by themselves.
Fortunately, it's not yet 8 o'clock, and the pet show hasn't started yet, otherwise with this pair's support rate in the pet owner community, it is still a question whether they can come over in such a chic way.
Because there are a lot of animal stars invited to come, the organizers have also made a lot of spacious.
Xu Jie: Because they drove from home early in the morning, they didn't come early.
By the time they arrived, there was already a macaw, two cats, a lop-eared rabbit and a teddy dog in the area dedicated to animal stars.
As the organizer of the pet exhibition who often goes with animals, of course I know Xu Jie and Mo.
So after seeing the two of them coming, the person in charge just casually asked Yuezi a few words, then opened the fence and put Xu Jie and Mo inside.
As a wild cat, Mo's instincts are very strong.
So the first thing it did when it walked into the fence was to start observing the terrain around it.
The most placed in this enclosure is a variety of pet toys, cats and dogs, and a few large or small cat kennels.
In the middle of the enclosure, there is a tall tree-shaped cat climbing frame, and not far away on the other side is a low/side glid, with a forked bird shelf on top.
Mo dragged his tail around the garden, making sure that none of the creatures in it could cause damage to him and the little raccoon flower, and then trotted back to Xu Jie's side.
Compared with Mo's caution, Xu Jie's attention is much simpler, he just seems to have seen a mature cat behind the huge cat climbing shelf, as if it was the Chinchilla who he shot an advertisement with him last time.
Xu Jie, who met the familiar cat, was very happy, and he planned to go over to say hello to the Chinchilla.
Compared to Xu Jie's relaxation, Mo was much busier, and he didn't like the strong smell of other animals in his territory, but the little raccoon said that it was a performance, so it endured it.
But forbearance is forbearance, and there are some things that Mo still has to do.
I saw that it chose the most spacious place with the best view among the four corners of the enclosure, and then bared its teeth to drive away the teddy dog that was originally standing here.
Then it began to pick out the toys that had been placed on the ground.
Well, the stuffed mouse little raccoon flower likes it the most, and this one has to be taken in its mouth.
The colored pompoms are also good, and when the little civet flowers roll around, you can put it aside and let it play, well, take it away.
Or is this a cat teasing stick, the chubby human cub of the Little Tanuki family always uses this to play with the little Tanuki, and every time the human cub has a lot of fun.
Mo has been coveting this thing for a long time, and he also wants the little raccoon flower to tease himself with this thing in his mouth, so the cat teasing stick is also taken away.
Hey, what's this round and flat thing?
Curious Mo leaned in and sniffed it, phew, a smell of dogs, no wonder it looks so annoying, kick away with his hind legs, don't put it here to make the little raccoon unhappy.
After some picking, Mo and Xu Jie picked out all the things they liked and sent them to the corner he had just chosen.
Then it stood there and warned the other animals in the garden, "The northeast corner is my territory, you guys had better stay away, and if you dare to come and beat you." ”
After saying that, it went to Xu Jie with its tail up, intending to pick it up.
