The time of the day is not fast, and it is not slow.

In anticipation of the fifteen foster care stores, the negotiated public laundry display officially kicked off.

Early in the morning, fifteen shopkeepers gathered at a pre-agreed place.

For the vast majority of them, this was the first time they had seen each other since they came to Demon Wood City.

For a while, there were constant greetings with compliments such as "long admiration of the great name", and everyone did not show the slightest contempt for Xu Ran, the youngest among the fifteen people.

After all, this confrontation between local and foreign foster care stores began with him.

Everyone has more or less heard of the conflict between the Spark Foster Care Store and the Huanyu Foster Care Store before, so they also know that this young man who looks a little immature has not weak cleaning and care skills.

A simple and relaxed conversation also allowed Xu Ran to get acquainted with other people.

The owners of these foster care shops in front of them came from more than ten second-level important towns, covering almost all the second-level important towns in the entire No. 47 Beast Domain.

Considering that it is possible to open a branch in the other party's city in the future, Xu Ran also has the idea of dealing with them.

"Alright." Seeing that the time was about the same, Liu Fengyun interrupted everyone's conversation with a smile, "For the rest of the words, it's not too late to talk until the public cleaning activity is over." ”

"Let's go, our event venue is almost set up, let's see if it meets your cleaning needs."

Hearing this, everyone stopped chatting together, and their faces showed a look of interest.

For everyone here, the most important thing to worry about is whether the cleaning and care needs can be met.

After all, they all have their own ways of washing, and the materials and props required for these methods are also different.

There is a good saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

If the things they need for their care methods cannot be met, it will inevitably affect the effectiveness of the public care display.

To participate in this event, everyone just wants to win more popularity and customers for their stores through the comparison and display of the washing and care effect.

If this happens, then participating in the event may have the opposite effect, not only will not increase the visibility and customer base, but will also cause the original guests to lose.

As for everyone's concerns, Liu Fengyun naturally also took them into account.

Therefore, yesterday he once again went to the door one by one, found the owners of each foster care store, and asked them to provide a list of cleaning and care needs, and he would purchase and arrange them in a unified manner.

Now that these necessities have been arranged, he has the confidence to let the other fourteen bosses go to see it together.

"Good!" In the crowd, a big man with a beard on his face and a rather bold look laughed, "Boss Liu is really efficient!" ”

Qi Cang, the owner of the blue wolf foster care shop, is from Junlong City, a second-level important town.

"In that case, let's all go and have a look." Another beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a long slim dress pursed her lips and smiled, and spoke coquettishly.

Du Huayan, the owner of Baihua Foster Care Shop, is from Minghui City, a second-level important town.

Other foster shop owners should follow Liu Fengyun's footsteps and enter the Demon Wood Market.

The morning demon wood market has just opened, but the city is already quite lively.

And this kind of liveliness is not quite the same as the last time Xu Ran came.

It seems that because it is breakfast time at this moment, there are many more suitable foods for breakfast along the street, not only are humans queuing up to buy, but there are also a few wild and extraordinary creatures running early in the queue.

Xu Ran even saw a small yeasat in the queue in front of the stall.

This is a kind of nocturnal action, a dark supernatural creature that sleeps during the day, and looking at its sleepy eyes, it probably intends to go to sleep after eating this meal.

So... Is this a late-night snack for it?

Thinking of this, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile a little more.

Just as he was looking around, amusing the other side of the morning demon wood market, a gust of incense blew in, and there was an extra lunch box in front of his eyes.

"Boss Xu, this is yours." Du Huayan smiled and put the lunch box in Xu Ran's hand, and then handed another lunch box to another foster care shop owner next to him.

"Thank you, Sister Du!" Xu Ran came back to his senses, quickly thanked the other party, and then opened the lunch box in his hand.

In the lunch box, there is food sold at one of the stalls that I just passed by.

It seems that Du Huayan bought breakfast by herself, and by the way, she bought everyone else's.

Although he had eaten it before he came, Xu Ran had no intention of wasting this kindness.

"Come on, taste them all." Looking at the three little ones who were curiously looking at the side, Xu Ran smiled and picked up the delicious food with the bamboo skewers in the lunch box and enjoyed them together.

When the lunch box became empty, the group had already walked to the center of the Demon Wood Market, and it was also the most prosperous area.

The Main Road of the Heavens.

At this moment, they are in the middle of the main road, which can be described as the center of the entire demon wood market center.

There is an open-air plaza in this location, which has been temporarily rented and built a large stage.

The stage is temporarily obscured from the inside, while outside the stage, many passers-by and wild creatures stop to see what is inside.

"Boss Liu, why are you still covering it so tightly?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Cang, who had a loud voice, shouted, "Didn't you say public washing?" ”

"Boss Qi, don't worry." Liu Fengyun smiled, his face calm, "When it's time to start, these curtains will be removed." ”

"But now... Let's keep it closed first. ”

Noticing everyone's gaze, without waiting for others to ask, Liu Fengyun took the initiative to explain, "You should have also seen that there are many passers-by and wild transcendent creatures stopping to watch at this moment. ”

"Leaving some mystery can arouse more curiosity in them, so that when the event officially starts, more people will come on stage to try it."

"Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the more important reason is..."Liu Fengyun's voice paused slightly, and quickly lowered a few points, "We joined forces this time to fight against the local foster care store. ”

"They took the lead in joining forces to suppress us, and we just had to fight back." Liu Fengyun's voice paused, "Although we are not afraid of them, in order to make the event more secure, it is better to let them get the news later." ”

"Boss Liu's concerns are reasonable." Du Huayan smiled and said, "It seems that it is really a wise choice for everyone to hand over this matter to Boss Liu to be responsible." ”

"Boss Du is polite." Liu Fengyun's smile brightened a little, "Let's stop standing here, let's go in and take a look at the venue." ”

"I'm quite satisfied with the venue this time."

After speaking, he took the lead in front of a small door not far away, pushed it open and entered the inside of the stage, which was still closed at the moment.

When the other fourteen foster care shop owners, including Xu Ran, heard this, they all followed.

Soon, the washing and care space in the stage suddenly opened up in front of everyone's eyes.

For a while, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

Because, although the stage in front of me has only been set up since last night, the degree of completion is already extremely high.

Several weaker foster care stores even feel that the foster care site in front of them is better than their own store.

"Let's see if there are any gaps in the equipment needed for cleaning and care, and prepare them before the official start of the event." Liu Fengyun took out a lottery cylinder from the table on the side and shook it, "After it is determined, it is time to draw lots to determine everyone's display time." ”

"Mine has no problem." Qi Cang strode around the foster care place, quickly returned and said that he had everything he needed to wash and care here, and then took out a bamboo stick from the lottery holder in Liu Fengyun's hand.

After taking a look, he couldn't help but sigh, "This luck is also good..."

As he spoke, he passed the bamboo stick in his hand to the others.

On the bamboo stick, the number "1" is written impressively.

It means that Qi Cang will be washed and cared for in the first time period.

"Boss Qi doesn't have to mind, the first time period starts at eight o'clock and ends at ten o'clock, although this time period has less traffic, it is longer than other time periods." Liu Fengyun explained with a smile.

"Yes, Boss Qi was the first to check, the first to draw, and the first time period was drawn, which is a good sign." Du Huayan pursed her lips and smiled, "Maybe today's most popular foster care store is the Blue Wolf Foster Shop?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Hearing this, Qi Cang waved his hand again and again, "Okay, then I'll throw bricks and lead the jade and give everyone an ugly one." ”

While talking and laughing, the second foster care shop owner checked the cleaning and care equipment he needed and came back to draw lots.

Followed by third, fourth...

By the time Xu Ran took the three small ones to confirm the foster care needs, it was already the ninth lottery.

"Boss Xu, please." Liu Fengyun smiled and handed the lottery cylinder with only seven bamboo sticks left in his hand to Xu Ran.

"Okay." Xu Ran took a deep breath, and then took out a random one from the bamboo skewer.

What catches your eye is the number "5".

"The fifth time slot is from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m." Qi Cang smiled, "Boss Xu has good luck, and he has drawn one of the several time periods with the highest flow of people, but in this way, the time will be reduced." ”

"It's okay." Xu Ran nodded in understanding.

The higher the flow of people, the shorter the time period, which was previously stated.

This arrangement is not based on the number of guests.

After all, the time required for washing and care is long and short, whether it is an hour or two hours, there are only a few pet beasts that can be washed and cared for.

It takes into account exposure.

For the same length of time, the flow of people in the time period in Xu Ran's draw is twice that of Qi Cang's time period, and twice as many people will know about the Xinghuo Foster Care Shop, so they naturally need to extend Qi Cang's time to compensate.

From this point on, there is no problem with this arrangement.

After Xu Ran, five more foster care shop owners came to draw lots.

The last bamboo stick in the lottery tube was Liu Fengyun's own.

"You've all drawn lots and know when you're going to show." Liu Fengyun shook the empty lottery tube in his hand.

"Then it's time for the event to begin."

Although his voice fell, the closed stage was controlled by the staff to lift the curtain, and the scene inside the stage appeared in the eyes of passers-by and wild beings who were waiting to talk curiously outside the stage.

And the fifteen people on the stage also saw the surprised looks of passers-by and wild transcendent creatures outside the stage.

"Then then, time will be handed over to Boss Qi." Liu Fengyun patted Qi Cang's shoulder and pointed to a man who walked towards everyone quickly, holding a megaphone, "This is Zhou Hang, the host of today's event, just hand it over to him." ”

"Everyone, please advise." Zhou Hang smiled politely, and then turned on the megaphone in his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen! Friends from the Demon Wood Domain! Hello everyone! ”

With the help of a megaphone, his voice resounded throughout the central square of the main road of the skyscraper, and more and more people and beasts who heard the reputation converged in this direction.

Liu Fengyun and the other thirteen foster shop owners glanced at each other and left the stage silently.

For the next two hours, the stage belonged to Qi Cang and his blue wolf boarding shop.

"You don't have to stay here forever." After stepping off the stage, looking at the other thirteen foster care shop owners, including Xu Ran, Liu Fengyun smiled, "I have already informed you of your time in advance, as long as you come back before the specified time comes." ”

However, after Liu Fengyun said this, no one present had any intention of leaving.

Boss Liu laughed. One of the bosses with a wisp of goatee smiled and touched the smooth whisker on his chin, "How can you miss such a rare opportunity to communicate with everyone about washing and care?" ”

"Our Shengtian Foster Care Store has specially suspended its business for one day for today's event, just to be able to take this opportunity to learn the washing and care skills of your peers."

"Same, the same!"

After the foster care shop owner finished speaking, many people smiled and agreed.

Obviously, everyone thinks about the same thing.

"Meow?" (Shall we stay too?) ）

Ziyun leaned into Xu Ran's ear, lowered his voice and asked quietly.

"Hmm." Xu Ran nodded, with a bit of expectation on his face, "I plan to stay as well and see how other foster care stores are cared for." ”

His washing and care are all taught systematically, and there must be some differences from the washing and care methods of other foster care stores in this world.

Now that he has his own insights on cleaning and care, it is also an opportunity to expand his knowledge by observing and learning from other foster care stores.

This can be regarded as one of the reasons why he agreed to Liu Fengyun's invitation.

Looking at the hesitant expressions of the three little ones, Xu Ran naturally knew what they were thinking, "You guys go back to the store to train, you don't have to stay with me all the time." ”

"If there is anything I need from you, I will summon you in advance."

"Cha!" (Good!) ）

Cancan nodded heavily, with a little excitement in his eyes.

"Of course, I can only go back to the store to train, and I don't need to talk about going out of the city." Xu Ran quickly added a sentence to dispel the explorer Can's careful thoughts.

"Cha..." (well...) ）

The light in Cancan's eyes was extinguished.

It turned into an explorer without dreams.

"Alright." Xu Ran smiled helplessly, "Today's event is over, and I will take you out of the city tomorrow to have a look." ”

It's been a few days since the last time Cancan and Xingchen slipped out on an expedition.

If it weren't for this little episode right now, Xu Ran might have taken them out of the city the day before yesterday to see the place Cancan had discovered.

So when this event is over, it's time to put a trip out of town on the agenda.

"Cha!" (Yay!) ）

Cancan's mood was like a roller coaster, and it became clear again in an instant.

Ziyun and Cancan climbed onto Xingchen's back, and the three little ones nodded to Xu Ran, and then disappeared in place.

After taking his eyes off the departing backs of the three little ones and returning to the stage, a look of anticipation appeared on Xu Ran's face.

After the host's brief opening remarks and introduction to the rules of the event, the first person to try it has now taken the stage.

It was a beast master, and judging by his slightly reserved expression, it was obvious that he had not tried to get the pet beast to be washed by the foster care store before.

"This gentleman, in the months since Xuanmulu was no longer born, how did you help the pet beast clean its body?"

"Uh... Rinse with the tap? ”

"But your pet beast is a fire attribute pet beast."

In a few words of inquiry that made the onlookers laugh, Qi Cang walked up to the guest, looking at the somewhat wild face, but there was a rather reliable expression on his face at the moment, "Please rest assured to hand over your pet beast to me, and I will make it look new." ”

"Well... Good. ”

The beast master nodded, and the six-pointed starlight array behind him lit up, and in the fierce wind, a hairy monkey with flames burning all over his body appeared in everyone's sight.

Fire Transcendental Rank Leader Race, Little Flame Monkey.

Compared with the healthy and excellent little Yan monkey, the flame burning around the little Yan monkey in front of him is obviously not so vigorous, and the color of the flame is also a little dim, which can be seen to the naked eye, and its state is not good.

"Hmm... Please follow me! After walking around the little Yan Monkey and confirming its specific situation, Qi Cang obviously already had a plan for washing and care, he pointed to the washing and protection table with a confident face, and motioned for the little Yan Monkey and its beast master to follow.

Not long after, the little Yan Monkey had already been placed on the washing table, and Qi Cang also began the preparation of the washing and care.

Offstage, under the leadership of Liu Fengyun, the owners of the foster care shop who found a good viewing seat also began to discuss and exchange while concentrating on observing the details of Qi Cang's preparation.

"That little Yan monkey just now, it looks like it's already in a very bad state, it's not easy to wash and care, and I don't know if Boss Qi can handle it."

"I feel that if this little monkey is handed over to me, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, I hope that when it's my turn, there won't be such a rare washing object."

"Haha, who knows?"

“…”

Listening to the exchanges of other bosses, a thoughtful look appeared in Xu Ran's eyes.

In the systematic identification, the washing and care needs of the little Yan monkey in front of him are four stars, which is not easy to wash and care.

Of course, this is for others.

For Xu Ran, the little Yan monkey in front of him was not enough to stump him.

In just a moment, the corresponding washing plan appeared in his mind.

So...

What he is more curious about now is, how will this Qi Cang boss deal with it?

Under the eyes of Xu Ran and the other bosses, Qi Cang quickly completed the preparations, and then began the formal washing.

In his hand, there was an extra stone of dark red with a rough surface.

"That's flint, right?" One of the foster care shop owners said in a low voice, "This thing has a good fire effect, Boss Qi is planning to take a fire bath?" ”

The so-called fire bath is to use ignition materials to ignite some special flammable resources, so that these resources release the energy contained in the combustion process, and merge into the body of the pet beast to nourish and repair its energy.

This kind of method is basically only used by fire-type pet beasts.

Right now, this little flame monkey is just right.

"No, it's not a fire bath." Another foster care shop owner has a closer relationship with Qi Cang, obviously he has learned about Qi Cang's washing and care methods before, and at this moment he said with a smile, "What Boss Qi is good at is stone washing." ”

"Huh?" The owner of the foster care shop who proposed the fire bath had a somewhat blank look on his face, "Stone washing method? What's that..."

"Ahhh~"

A scraping sound came from the stage that interrupted his words.

Everyone followed the prestige, and just saw Qi Cang holding the fire flint in his hand, brushing the side of the little Yan monkey's body at a tricky angle, and at the moment when the little Yan monkey's fur and the fire flint were scraped, he brought up a line of fire that flew into the air.

The little flame monkey's facial features wrinkled slightly, and it looked as if it was enduring pain, but not long after each scraping of the flint, its wrinkled facial features would gradually soothe, and a comfortable look appeared on its face.

In the back, the painful expression was completely gone, replaced by complete comfort, and even made the little Yan monkey can't help but hum.

And the flames around it were visibly vigorous with each scrape, and the crimson flames of light rose up, staining the entire sink with a layer of red.

Seeing this scene, the crowd of onlookers quickly erupted into an uproar, and this uproar was mixed with different beast roars.

Obviously, it was not only the human beast masters who were tempted by the obvious cleansing effect at the moment, but also the wild transcendent creatures.

"This stone washing method is Boss Qi's specialty, it looks like it's just scraping the surface of the body with fire attribute ore, but it's actually a lot of exquisiteness." The foster care shop owner who spoke before smiled.

"I've heard of this method, but it seems to have a lot of limitations, right?" Another foster shop owner couldn't help but exclaim, "Only some pet animals are suitable." ”

"That's nature." The previous foster shop owner nodded, "There is no way to wash and care, it is suitable for all pet animals." ”

"According to the situation of the pet animal, we need to develop the corresponding washing and care method."

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but nod in agreement.

On the stage, Xiao Yan Monkey's washing and care ended quickly, and the beast master was obviously very satisfied with the effect after washing, and after listening to the host's introduction of the reward rules, he did not hesitate to add 15,000 yuan to express his gratitude.

This price is already higher than the price of small pet animal care in the blue wolf boarding shop, and other foster store owners are excited and eager to try.

At the event site, because of this perfect start, the atmosphere quickly became enthusiastic, and after the little flame monkey's beast master stepped off the stage, the audience on the stage became extremely enthusiastic.

Completely different from the atmosphere of the open-air cleaning and care exhibition is the Huanyu foster care store.

At this moment, the door of the Huanyu Foster Care Store is temporarily closed, and a wooden sign is hung on the door of the store that says "temporarily closed".

But it's not that there are no people in the Worldwide Foster Care store, on the contrary, there are more people than in the past.

In addition to the boss Liu Yu, there are about ten men and women with different temperaments.

It's just that their faces are not good-looking at the moment.

"Guys, I'm sure you've gotten the news too." Liu Yu's voice was slightly low, "Those foster care stores from other places have joined forces." ”

"They held a public washing display at the Demon Wood Market to win popularity for themselves."

"You should know that this is a threat to us."

"What a threat is not a threat." One of the bosses snorted and disagreed, "They can, and so can we." ”

"Tomorrow, we can hold a similar event, and with our popularity in Demon Wood City, we will be able to regain the guests they have attracted in a matter of minutes."

"I said Boss Tian, what you said is a little funny." Another boss couldn't help but shake his head, "If our cleaning and care skills are really that good, do we still need to join forces to suppress them?" ”

At this point, everyone fell silent.

Oh, yes.

These storefronts can be invited by the Demon Wood City Beast Master Association from various second-level important towns to settle in, not to mention their strength.

On the other hand, they have never been involved in the cleaning service before, and many things are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they are not comparable to each other in terms of cleaning and care experience.

If their strength is really not bad, how can they, who already have a very high local popularity and reputation, be threatened by a few outsiders who have no local roots?

Public care displays, such an event is easy, but not easy.

It's easy to find that it's nothing more than borrowing a venue and setting up a platform.

It's not easy because the local foster care shops in Demon Wood City are currently very rare and unwilling to disclose the cleaning and care techniques they have explored.

Even if they are willing to make it public, in the case that the foster care store in other places has already been openly washed and cared for, this kind of Dongshi Xiaofeng is just an axe for the class, which only adds to the laughter.

"Like them, it is definitely not possible to carry out such a public washing." Liu Yu shook his head and rejected the proposal, "However, we can't just sit still." ”

Hearing Liu Yu's words, everyone nodded in unison.

Apparently, they are also of the same mind.

The other side has made a move, they can't lie down and take it, right?

"Boss Liu, you seem to have an idea?" One of the bosses looked at Liu Yu carefully, and then suddenly spoke.

"I do have an idea." Liu Yu nodded, "It's just that I need some small help from you." ”

"Aren't they going to wash openly? Then make it harder for them. Liu Yu's voice paused, "As long as their washing effect is not good, then the activity will naturally smash the signboard." ”

"I need your help me find some pet beasts that are extremely difficult to wash and care, so that their beast envoys can pretend to be passers-by on stage."

"They've got pet beasts they can't take care of, do they?"

The other bosses looked at each other, and then smiled in unison.

This method...

Wonderful!
