Monday morning is one of the rare times of the week when you can breathe a sigh of relief at the Fujimoto shop.

As the start of the new week, most people will have something to do in the morning, so there are not many owners who will take their pets out.

Taking advantage of this rare time to relax, Mrs. Fujimoto and her two assistants flipped through the tablet to find the new shapes that have recently become popular in the pet world.

Mr. Fujimoto was chatting with Mr. Ishii, the owner of the restaurant next door.

It didn't take long for the newspaper messenger to come and deliver the newspapers and periodicals subscribed to by the Fujimoto and Ishii families.

The two gentlemen, who both have the habit of reading the morning newspaper, chatted together while casually flipping through the newspaper in their hands.

Just when Mr. Fujimoto was attracted by the headlines of the morning newspaper, Mr. Ishii suddenly patted him, and then pointed to a color photo on the newspaper and said, "Look at this cat-hunting revelation, the cat in the photo doesn't look like the big black cat that often comes to you and looks for your big star to play?" ”

Hearing this, Dr. Fujimoto first lowered his head and glanced at the photo a few times, and after seeing the photo clearly, he immediately put down the general headlines he had read and began to look at them carefully.

I saw that the cat in the photo had long black hair, brown eyes, and looked very large.

These features are indeed very similar to the big black cat that often comes to his house, so Dr. Fujimoto began to carefully read the cat search revelation under the photo.

I saw that it was clearly written: Pike, male, 3 years old, purebred Maine. Lost near the county seat two months ago, if you have any clues, please contact Mr. Matsumoto at xxxxxxx.

After studying the photo for a long time, Mr. Fujimoto couldn't come to a definite conclusion, and after thinking about it, he said: "There is only a photo and some basic clues, and there is no way to determine whether Daikoku is the cat that the gentleman above is looking for." But if he's looking for a purebred Maine, I don't think it's very likely, because the black cat that often comes to our house, although it looks like it has Maine blood, but its fur is much shorter than that of the purebred Maine, and it is obvious that it is mixed-race. And the cat has been in our house for almost four months, which doesn't match the time of its loss. ”

Mr. Ishii nodded in understanding, and then took the newspaper and went to look at the other news.

Anyway, their family has never had a pet, and he just listened to what Mr. Fujimoto said.

The two old neighbors didn't talk for long, and after 9:30 p.m., customers began to arrive one after another in both stores, and as the owners, they quickly ended the conversation and went back to the store to take care of the business.

At ten o'clock, Xu Jie, who had slept upstairs for more than an hour, came to the first floor full of energy, squatted at the front desk, with the tip of his tail on the surface of his paws, obediently waiting for Mo to deliver food to it.

Just when it was staring at the gate with all its attention, waiting for the familiar figure, the front desk lady suddenly shook today's newspaper in front of Xu Jie, and excitedly pointed to a photo on it and asked: "Come and see, Great Sage, you look at the cat search revelation above, is the cat you are looking for your family's big black?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie quickly turned his head, took a picture of the newspaper waved in his hand by the front desk lady with his paws, and then carefully began to look at the photo that the front desk lady said.

At the first glance of the photo, Xu Jie knew that the cat on the photo was not ink.

Although the two cats are indeed very similar, it may be difficult to distinguish them in the eyes of humans, but in the eyes of cats, the two can still see the difference.

After discovering that the cat he was looking for on the newspaper was not ink, Xu Jie was not very interested in the newspaper, and pushed the newspaper aside with his paws.

As soon as the front desk lady saw Xu Jie's movements, she knew that it was indicating that the cat in the photo was not the one that often came to their store.

But the front desk lady recalled the appearance of the ink, looked at the photo again, and muttered to herself, "Really, isn't it?" But it looks too similar, and the one in the photo is just a little hairy. ”

Xu Jie silently rolled his eyes at the ceiling when he heard this, this front desk lady is a well-known pet facial disorder recognition, and there is no pet that looks like it in her eyes.

In the past, she often couldn't identify the pet brought by the customers in the store, but now she couldn't believe that she could distinguish the cat on her face except for her eyes and beard.

After looking down at the photo on the newspaper, Xu Jie pursed his lips in disgust.

I really don't understand why some people say that the cat is like ink, obviously the hair is longer than ink, the ears are not as golden as ink, and the most important thing is that ink's body looks burly because of his robustness, but the one above the photo is because of his fortune.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie's throat began to make some unhappy breathing sounds.

Seeing this, the front desk lady hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, it's not, don't be angry, but it's amazing, how can you see that it's so similar to the Great Sage?" ”

Xu Jie heard the words and said secretly in his heart: That's my cat, how can I not recognize it. Wang Luodan and Bai Baihe are still very similar, but only fans can't tell who is indistinguishable, and the people close to them can still see who is who at a glance.

Too lazy to say anything more to this human who didn't recognize the cat, Xu Jie looked up at the time and found that it was almost time for Mo to come over and bring him food, so he simply jumped off the front desk and went out to wait for Mo to go.

Xu Jie and Mo ate outside during this meal, because Xu Jie felt that if Mo went to the store now, then the curious front desk lady would definitely come over with a newspaper to find Mo to compare them one by one.

In order to prevent Mo from being disturbed/disturbed, Xu Jie decided not to go to the shop at all today, and went directly to the cat kennel at the school to take a nap.

At noon, on the side of Fujimoto's shop, everyone in the shop who had been busy all morning was hurrying to have lunch.

Just as they were halfway through their meal, a very luxurious-looking Honda sedan stopped at the entrance of the shop.

The driver of the Toyota sedan got out of the position, turned around to the opposite rear door, bent down and reached out to pull the rear door open.

Getting out of the car were a couple in their early forties, two people in men's suits and leather shoes, and two people who looked very rich.

The couple walked into the Fujimoto shop one after the other, and the lady first rolled her eyes to look around, then frowned and covered her nose with the handkerchief in her hand, as if she didn't like the smell of pets in the store.

But the lady immediately sensed that she was not doing well, so she quickly took off the handkerchief that was covering her nose.

In fact, she didn't have to do this, because she was running a pet business, and Mr. Fujimoto did a very good job in air circulation and disinfection.

There are at least three ventilation fans on each floor, and even in winter, they must be turned on for half an hour in the morning and afternoon to ensure that the air in the room is fresh.

Therefore, although there are a lot of pets coming and going in the store, there is no smell in the store.

Although the lady stopped very quickly, she was still seen by the people in the store.

The young and vigorous front desk lady didn't want to deal with them at all, but thinking about her work, she had to hide her reluctance.

Putting down the hand holding the lunch box, the front desk lady stepped forward and asked the couple, "Welcome to our store, what do you need our services for?" ”

The lady, who had covered her nose with a handkerchief, seemed to not want to speak, and when she heard the greeting from the front lady, she twisted her head to the side.

But her husband smiled and said very kindly: "That's right, our family once lost a black cat two months ago, and in order to find it, we are trying to find a way these days. Recently, I heard that there was a black cat adopted in the store here, which is very similar to our Pike, so I wanted to come and check it out. ”

Hearing this, Dr. Fujimoto stood up and said, "May I ask sir, if your surname is Matsumoto?" Is it you the gentleman who published the cat-hunting revelation in the morning newspaper this morning? ”

Mr. Matsumoto nodded and said, "Yes, the person who published the cat-hunting revelation is my wife and me. My surname is Matsumoto, which one are you, gentleman? ”

Hearing this, Dr. Fujimoto stretched out his hand and said, "My surname is Fujimoto, and I am the person in charge of this shop. ”

Hearing this, Mr. Matsumoto smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it lightly with the doctor, and then quickly released it, but asked in his mouth, "May I ask Mr. Fujimoto if he has adopted a big black cat here?" If there is a way to return it to us, it is just my wife and me's pet, and we are really worried after losing it. ”

Hearing this, Dr. Fujimoto replied, "There is indeed a black cat in our store that will come over often, but it only came to play with our great sage, and we didn't adopt it. ”

What Dr. Fujimoto said was true, because he knew that the reason why the big black cat had contact with their family was entirely because of the Great Sage. Without it, with that cat's cold and arrogant character, it would never have had anything to do with their family.

Because he knew that the couple was looking for a cat, Dr. Fujimoto kindly reminded: "If you are looking for the black cat in the morning newspaper, I don't think the one on our side is not." Because except for the black cat, most of the rest of the information does not correspond. ”

As soon as Dr. Fujimoto's words were finished, Mrs. Matsumoto said, "If you call the cat out for us to see, if it is really our cat, the maintenance expenses during this period will not be missing any money for you." ”

Doctor Fujimoto frowned slightly when he heard this, then let go, and said politely, "This lady, I said earlier that the cat was not adopted by us, so it is not in our store now. ”

Mr. Matsumoto pursed his lips unhappily when he heard this, but still asked, "So when will that black cat come over?" ”

Mr. Fujimoto glanced at the clock and said, "Usually at this time, it will come over to have lunch with our great sage, and then take a nap to rest. Since I haven't seen them at this point today, I should just go out to eat, and then find a place to take a nap. As for where the two of them will go after this, and when they will return, I can't say for sure. ”

The Matsumoto lady seemed to want to get angry, but was stopped by her husband.

After that, I heard Mr. Matsumoto say, "Then we and I will wait here for a while, Mr. Fujimoto has no problem with this, right?" ”

Hearing this, the doctor made a gesture of please to the waiting area of the customer, and then said, "Mr. Matsumoto is polite, there is a waiting area in our store, and there are coffee and newspapers, so you can pass the time casually." ”

Mr. Matsumoto nodded slightly, took his wife and walked towards the waiting area, obviously the couple did not have much contact with the people in the store.
