Chapter 381: Buying a Dog
Zheng Si felt inexplicable. This old man is really ......
If you want to have a dog, ask me what to do?
Have you ever seen a dog and ask a cat for an idea?
Zheng Si glanced at Old Man Lan and didn't intend to pay attention to it. He doesn't know what kind of dog he has, and he can't answer if he knows.
However, Zheng Si didn't plan to pay attention to it, but Old Man Lan was not ready to let Zheng Si go, called Zheng Si who was about to leave, and then walked to the small flower garden.
Zheng Si didn't quite understand what the old man wanted to do, but he still followed along, for the sake of the old man's recovery, to give some face.
At this moment, there are two people guarding the small flower garden, one guarding the gate and the other guarding the side door, although Zheng Si always calls this "small flower garden", but this place is not small, only one person may not be able to keep it. The inside of the flower garden has also been remodeled, and the security level is several levels higher than before.
After the old man Lan walked into the small flower garden, he did not stay for a long time, but rode out on a three-wheeled electric car that he carried flowers, and there were still some dirt that had not been wiped clean after dragging the flowers last time.
"Come on, black charcoal, get in the car, let's buy a dog." Old man Lan said to Zheng Si who was standing on the side.
During this time, there were many people who gave Old Man Lan ideas, and Old Man Lan never made up his mind what dog to buy, the dog he fancied, and there were no puppies at home, so he didn't want to wait a few more months, and he felt comfortable to finish this thing as soon as possible, otherwise he always felt that there was something hanging.
I heard that there are small pets sold near the main school gate recently, and there are also dogs sold in another vegetable market on the other side of the old street, so Old Man Lan plans to take a look. It's definitely not a precious dog breed sold over there, but Old Man Lan is not too keen on expensive dog breeds, the dog breed doesn't matter, as long as he can watch the door, a friend's family raised a small Jingba housekeeper is also good, better than some dogs that are light and don't have long eyes. Therefore, the dog is not expensive, not big, as long as he can watch the house and prevent thieves, he will satisfy Old Man Lan.
Buying a dog?
Zheng Si hesitated for two seconds. Or hop in the car. He still didn't understand what it was for Old Man Lan to buy a dog. However, it's good to follow the excitement and see how it is fresh, and there is nothing to do at home anyway.
There are indeed small pets sold at the school gate, and there are many small goldfish and turtles sold in spring and summer. In autumn and winter, some turtles and other animals hibernate in the future, and students are not very interested in these things, but hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, kittens and other things are more popular.
In the past few years, Zheng Si has seen a lot of abandoned small animals in school, not to mention stray cats and the like, there are many abandoned cats in the school. hamsters, guinea pigs, etc., are estimated to be targeted by cats when they run out. When I first started raising. The students all wanted to be fresh, and when the freshness passed, they began to have the idea of discarding. Sometimes Zheng Si goes to the artificial lake or walks to some nearby landscape lake. You will also see all kinds of dead critters that have been thrown into the water. There are many of these things every year, and no matter how much work is done in school, they are always common.
Some students buy it, and the vendors are naturally willing to bring "goods" to the school gate to sell. As soon as he walked along the road at the school gate, Zheng Si could see several sellers.
Zheng Si followed the old man Lan to a stall, where hamsters and rabbits were sold, and there were four puppies in the big cage next to them, who looked like they were more than a month or less than two months old, fluffy, able to walk, and in good spirits, with brown and yellow fur and some gray.
A few sellers who passed by just now also sell dogs, but there are many students around there, and the puppies include Pekingese, Little Golden Retrievers, and not too serious skewer huskies. Those old men Lan didn't seem to take a fancy to it, and the stall selling pets in front of them was the last one on this road.
The puppies look very cute and are very attractive to students, especially female students. However, like the ones in front of them, as long as it takes another month, it is estimated that they will start to attract suspicion, because the appearance of their native dogs will become more and more obvious, compared to other dog breeds such as Pekingese and Golden Retrievers, the popularity of native dogs among students is indeed very low.
However, when it comes to guarding the door, Old Man Lan is still very satisfied with the earth dog, otherwise he would not have stopped in front of this small stall.
According to the vendor, he was selling it for a friend, whose family lived on the outskirts of the city, and the family raised a local dog that gave birth to cubs and did not want to keep it, nor did he want to sell it to the dog farm to make meat dogs, so he asked him to bring it out and sell it.
Old man Lan didn't believe this, he heard yesterday that the price of selling dog farms to make meat dogs would not be too high, and a large number of dogs could be collected at the price of a few to a dozen yuan in the farmer's house, so some people would think of taking the dog out and selling it to the students, and the students could earn dozens of dollars more.
"Why is this dog the same color?" Old man Lan looked at the puppy in the cage and said.
When the stall owner saw that Old Man Lan had that meaning, he smiled and said, "Don't look at it a little gray now, it will be different when you grow up, it must be a big yellow dog like a female dog." Oh, I forgot to mention that the ears of the are erect, and these puppies must also have standing ears when they grow up, and they are also mentally looking at them. Do you want to buy a dog to watch the house or just keep it for fun? ”
"Janitor." Old man Lan didn't have any requirements for dog ears, it didn't matter if they were standing or folded, the important thing was to be able to watch the door. Maybe he can't watch the door, and now he can't see it, and he always feels that these puppies are not very reliable.
"That's right! Not to mention, this housekeeper is still better than the earth dog, and those famous dogs may not be able to play a role. Didn't I say it on the news a while ago, a family's house was stolen, and the dog helped carry things. I live in a family near our house, and I also have a dog at home, and when I bought it, I heard that it cost thousands of dollars, but the dog, tsk, someone knocked on someone else's door, and his dog barked badly, but when his door was knocked, the dog stopped squeaking, you see what this looks like! ”
The vendor spoke energetically, and Old Man Lan also nodded, but did not express an opinion. You can't generalize what dog behaves like, no matter what breed of dog, there are always good and bad.
The vendors are still there to boast, different customers have different requirements, and the advertising words and recommendations he plays are naturally different, and the students are mostly looking for a cute, easy to raise, and fresh, but the old man's words must be practical.
"Our dogs are all farmers who have raised their own anti-thief guards, and they are definitely all experts, and my friend's big yellow dog has also caught a few thieves who steal chickens!" What the vendor didn't finish saying was that his friend's chickens were all killed by dogs, and he would never say this, if the old man also had chickens at home. Don't think about this deal as soon as you say it, so if you catch a thief and catch a chicken, just say catch a thief. It's better not to mention the chicken.
Old man Lan was a little moved when he heard this. It's good to catch a thief's dog, but which one to buy? Or buy a few more?
I really have no experience with this old man Lan. So looking at the four cubs in the cage who looked about the same and were about the same size, Old Man Lan couldn't make up his mind for a while, so. Moving his gaze, he looked at the black cat who was squatting on the car and looking at the cage and said, "Black charcoal, you say, where to buy?" ”
The little vendor didn't pay attention just now, but now when he heard what Old Man Lan said, he stretched his neck and took a look, heh. This old man even bought a dog and brought a cat! How can you buy a dog and bring a cat?
"Hey, old man, your cat is so good." Said the peddler.
Everyone is willing to listen to good words, Old Man Lan nodded proudly, "Hmm." Not mine. ”
Vendor: "......" isn't your house, what are you talking about?
Zheng Si ignored the vendor, Old Man Lan asked him to pick a dog, how could he choose, he couldn't pick a cat, let alone a dog? These four dogs all look the same, they are all male dogs, with their small ears folded, and they feel pitiful when they look at people "humming", and dogs are always very easy to arouse people's sympathy.
After the four puppies in the cage saw Zheng Si, they all crowded to the side of the cage facing Zheng Si, and they were very curious about Zheng Si's cat. Zheng Si stood in front of the cage and could see the appearance of the four puppies clearly.
The little vendor also saw the embarrassment of Old Man Lan, so he said: "In fact, which dog is the same, this dog is the same as raising a child, the education received is different, and it will definitely look different in the future, and it still has to be trained the day after tomorrow." What he meant was that you could pick any one, just buy it and raise it well. Let a cat pick a dog? Absurd! Then you might as well pick one with your eyes closed.
In fact, this month's puppies can also see the temper, when Zheng Si saw Xiao Guo in the pet center, they also checked the temper of each kitten when they checked the kitten's body, some cats are obedient when you catch it, and some cats struggle hard, scratching and biting.
However, Zheng Si looked at the four puppies in front of him, and their tempers seemed to be similar, none particularly noisy, nor particularly quiet. No wonder Old Man Lan had a hard time deciding.
"Black charcoal, you can pick it boldly, you can pick any one, and I won't blame you if I raise it crookedly in the future, that's my responsibility." Old man Lan said.
In fact, Old Man Lan's idea is that a few dogs in the compound are good, and since Zheng Si has a good relationship with dogs, why won't it be too bad to pick a dog? It's better than him, who is only interested in plants and a layman who is basically interested in animals.
Zheng Si didn't know what Old Man Lan thought, he heard Old Man Lan say this, so he raised his hand and patted the cage, where he patted, a puppy was squeezing with its three brothers, and when he saw Zheng Si patting the cage, it also opened its mouth, and it seemed to think it was very funny.
"That's it." Old man Lan pointed to the puppy and said.
The vendor was amused, he thought that the black cat was just waving its paws at the dog in the cage, not picking on the dog, but when the customer said this, he would not explain much, and happily opened the cage and took out the puppy he had just pointed out.
"Do you think it's this one? Just weaned, you can feed some rice cereal and something like that. The vendor handed the puppy to Old Man Lan.
"Black charcoal, is this one?" Old man Lan looked at Zheng Si, and when he saw that Zheng Si had returned to the car, he looked at the dog cub in his hand again, and saw that there was no injury, so he asked the price.
"I was going to sell it for eighty to one hundred, old man, you were the first to buy a dog today, give a discount, sixty." Said the vendor.
"Sixty? What about bluffing? A few days ago, I heard that a three-month-old dog sells for 50 months, and your price is too low. Old man Lan said. It's not that he's too expensive, he's just telling the truth.
"Hey, that's not the old man, what price is it to show the dog, isn't it? This dog is really good, inheriting its parents' natural ability to guard the house, unlike other pampered dogs, many dogs in the city have forgotten how to watch the door. ”
In the end, the cub was still traded for sixty yuan, but the vendor gave me a cage, which was not too big and could hold two puppies of this size, but the workmanship was worse.
Putting the cage in the car, Old Man Lan sighed to Zheng: "Hei Tan help watch it, let's go to the vegetable market over there and take a look." ”
Zheng sighed in surprise, this means that you still have to buy one? I knew that I would have ordered it directly.
