The door to the bathroom opened again under Duzian's watchful eye.

Xu Ran, who had sent off another guest under the moonlight, walked out, he waved his hand at the guests who were a little commotion and boiling behind, and then put his hands on his cheeks on both sides and spoke loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your support and trust in me and the Spark Foster Care Shop, and this cleaning room will remain open until the end of the care show."

"It's not getting early now, please pay attention to the time, don't delay other things because of the queue, please rest assured, I will always be there."

's words made the people in line commotion again.

I can't get a penny, but I still don't sleep to wash and care for everyone, such a washer is really admirable.

Some of the guests who began to hesitate to continue queuing because of the late night felt reassured when they heard this, and chose to continue waiting without hesitation.

Some of the guests were relieved and decided to come back tomorrow morning to line up and leave for the time being.

After a moment of commotion, the number of people in line decreased a little, but the waiting guests looked at Xu Ran one by one with anticipation.

"Next."

Seeing this scene, Xu Ran smiled and spoke, and then turned around and entered the washing room.

Not far away, Duzian, who was standing in the dark, was silent.

Is this what my sister mentioned, the nurse who is better than herself?

He resisted the urge to come forward and communicate with Xu Ran, turned around and walked towards his washing room.

Keep it up!

It's just a matter of staying up late, others can do it, and of course you can do it yourself!

——

Time flies by in the heat of the care exhibition.

With a good start on the first day, Xu Ran's washing room on the second day completely realized saturated washing and care without idleness.

With the cooperation of Ziyun and Xingchen, he didn't even feel too tired after two days and one night of continuous washing.

And Cancan, who watched the door outside the door, was not all useless.

Its size, which has grown to about 50 meters, is quite conspicuous, taller than the washing room provided by the organizer, which not only deters the small night, but also attracts the attention of more passers-by and beast masters.

With the full cooperation of one person and three pets, more and more pet beasts of the beast master have taken on a new look, and they have attracted countless eyes when they walk on the street, and more and more beast masters know that there is a strange cleaner at the washing and care exhibition.

And this made the reputation of the Spark foster care store spread before it began to officially operate.

Soon, the time came to the evening of the second day of the cleaning and care exhibition.

With a bell ringing throughout the venue, there were lamentations outside the doors of the washing and care rooms.

These lamentations originated from the beast master who had been queuing for a long time but had not yet had their turn.

Because, after this bell, the pet animal washing exhibition is over.

They missed out on the free care and had to pay for the care at the foster care store later.

When the bell rang, Xu Ran was washing and caring for a guest's pet animal.

Hearing this bell, the guest's face suddenly became a little more joyful, "It seems that I am lucky to have just caught up with this last one." ”

"The last one?" Xu Ran glanced sideways at the other party, with a little doubt in his eyes, "Why the last one?" ”

"Huh? Brother Xu, don't you know? The guest unexpectedly spoke, "As soon as this bell rings, it is the end of the cleaning and care exhibition." ”

"According to the rules of the laundry exhibition, the laundry that is not over when the bell rings can continue, and the guests can still rate the laundry."

"However, the guests who wash and care for the follow-up of the cleanser will not be able to score, and it will not be able to affect the final ownership of the 'Washing and Caring Saint'." The guest scratched his head, "This title should be very important to you, right?" ”

"For me, this title is really important." Xu Ran nodded slightly, and at the same time, the scene when he had just sent a guest away and let this guest in came to mind.

Perhaps knowing that there was not much time left before the end of the cleaning and care exhibition, some people gave up the queue one after another, and the queue had been shortened a lot, and there were only a dozen guests left.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran slowly spoke, "But the guest is more important than the title. ”

"Your pet beast has been washed and cared for."

"Huh? Good! ”

The guest's attention quickly shifted to his pet beast, he stood up and walked forward quickly, looking at the hamster pet beast in Xu Ran's hand that was as fluffy as a small hairball, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Boss Xu, it's the first time I've seen my golden-eyed mouse like this, it's also amazing!" As he spoke, he carefully picked up his pet beast, his eyes full of love.

"If you're satisfied." Xu Ran smiled, briefly cleaned up the sink, and then walked towards the washroom.

Seeing Xu Ran's movements, the guest came back to his senses and quickly followed, and asked at the same time, "Boss Xu, what did you mean when you just said that guests are more important than titles?" ”

"Is this..."Xu Ran didn't answer, just smiled, and then pushed the door of the washing room open, looking at the people who were standing in place sighing and about to leave, "Please don't leave the guests who queued up before, I will continue to wash and care for free." ”

"Of course, those who queue up later will not be counted."

"Next."

After a moment of silence, the guests queuing outside the door of Xu Ran's bathroom let out cheers in unison, glad that they hadn't given up so quickly.

The guest standing at the front of the line was even more like winning the lottery, and walked up to Xu Ran and thanked him repeatedly.

Just before him finished the care exhibition, the helplessness and loss in the heart of this guest can be imagined.

Now Xu Ran's words are like heaven in his eyes, and the joy of turning great sorrow into great joy is unprecedented.

He took a deep look at the five big words "Spark Foster Care Shop" on the plaque of the washing room, and secretly decided in his heart that the next time he needed to wash and care for the pet beast, he would recognize it! ——

While Xu Ran's team outside the bathroom was still the same, other washers walked out of their own washing room and went to the organizer's award venue for the last time they had at hand.

There, the organizers will reveal the final title of "Holy Hand of Washing" and give different rewards to other washers who have performed well and received high praise in this exhibition.

About half an hour after the bell had passed, the venue was already filled with caregivers waiting to reveal the title, and the host invited by the Beast Master Guild was also standing on the stage.

"Good evening, washers." The host had a smile on his face, "Everyone has worked hard for the two-day cleaning and care exhibition. ”

"Without further ado, I believe that what everyone is most concerned about is which cleanser present has received the most praise from the audience and can win the honorary title of 'Holy Hand of Cleansing', which is only awarded once every three years."

As the host's voice fell, there was a sudden response from the seat, and the faces of the washers showed a look of expectation.

The Holy Hand of Baptism is an honorary title awarded once every three years.

Moreover, it is also a time-limited title.

This title is only valid for three years, and after three years, you will need to attend the next pet care exhibition to obtain it.

And those who have been baptized in the past can only be given the title of "former holy hand".

At this moment, there are several such beings.

It's just that there are talented people in the country, and the rising generation is getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more difficult for them to regain this title.

"So..."The host dragged a long voice, slowly raised the hand card, and after everyone's eyes focused on the hand card, the voice changed, "Let's first reveal the list of excellent cleaners of this washing and care exhibition!" ”

Suddenly, there was a "boo" on the field.

Excellent caregivers are the top 20 washers with an overall score in the care exhibition, and they will be ranked according to the score and receive different rewards.

Although this is also worth looking forward to, it is much inferior to the "Baptizing Holy Hand".

But everyone is no exception.

There is never an award, and the most important awards are given first.

And...

The ranking of the excellent cleansers is determined, and the "holy hand of cleansing" is naturally determined.

After enlivening the atmosphere on the field, the host began to report the names of the winners one by one from the twentieth place, and then invited them to the stage to award the corresponding awards.

One by one, the winners came to the stage to accept the awards, which made the atmosphere on the field continue to rise.

Duzian, who was sitting in the crowd, turned his head around from time to time.

Then from the beginning of the search for the award to the present, he has not seen the figure he wanted to find.

Hasn't Xu Ran come yet?

Du Qi was puzzled.

It has been such a long time since the bell echoed, even if the pet beast that Xu Ran washed and cared for at the end was a large pet beast that took time to eat, even if he had just started when the bell rang, it should have been over a long time ago, right?

Hearing the name of the third-place washer, Duzian's heart became more and more anxious.

Until now, he had not heard his own name, and similarly, he had not heard Xu Ran's name.

For his own cleaning and care technology, Du Zian is very confident.

He is also confident in Xu Ran's cleaning and care skills.

Therefore, if nothing else, the glorious title of "Holy Hand of Baptism" will be decided between the two of them.

At such a critical moment, the other party did not show up, which made Du Zian extremely puzzled.

Could it be that Xu Ran didn't know the rules of the pet animal washing exhibition very clearly not long after he came to Minghui City, and he didn't find a place to present the awards?

For a while, he regretted a little, he should have taken a detour to Xu Ran's bathroom at the end of the washing and care, and brought him over.

In this way, the two can still exchange a few words on the way here, and make up for the regret of not being able to get acquainted last night...

And just when Du Zi'an's mind was full of thoughts, the host took the hand card and spoke word by word.

"Second place, Duzian!"

It's me?

Du Zian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.

Still couldn't fight for Xu Ran.

It seems that what my sister said is right, Xu Ran's strength is indeed very strong.

Although he was a little disappointed, Du Qi's peace of mind was more about his fighting spirit and curiosity about Xu Ran.

As for the title, he is still young, and there is still a chance to get it later.

Walking up to the stage step by step, casually coping with a few flattering words from the host, the absent-minded Duzian once again swept his gaze over the seats below.

Standing in this position condescendingly, he can see clearly.

Xu Ran really didn't come.

Taking his reward, Duzian returned to his seat, his brow furrowed.

Xu Ran, where have you gone? ——

"Next... Ahh ”

Xu Ran, who was just about to call the next one, suddenly sneezed without warning, and after rubbing his nose, a little surprise appeared on his face.

is a handsome-level beast master, can he still catch a cold?

"Brother Xu, are you okay?" The next guest who was about to step forward said with concern, "I heard that you washed everyone all night last night, why don't you get here today?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Ran shook his head and smiled, looking behind the guest.

There are three guests left.

It's all come to this, there's no need to give up halfway.

"Come in!"

"It's... Good. The guest no longer persuaded and followed Xu Ran into the washing room, "Brother Xu's foster care shop is open, I will definitely introduce friends." ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance, if nothing else, it will be officially open in two days." Xu Ran smiled and motioned for the guest's pet beast to wait for washing at the washing table.

Seeing that Xu Ran was still methodically preparing for the washing, the guest suddenly remembered something, "Little Brother Xu, at this time, the title of 'Washing and Caring Holy Hand' should have been announced." ”

"In my opinion, the probability of you getting this title is very high, don't you really go to the scene to see it? This honor is not simple. ”

"It's fine." Xu Ran shook his head slightly.

"It's mine, I can't run away."

——

"Let us use the warmest applause to congratulate Xu Ran, the cleanser, who won the highest washing score in the audience, became the first place today, and also became the winner of the title of 'Washing and Caring Holy Hand'!"

In the passionate voice of the host, the venue resounded with warm applause.

However, many of the people who applauded in the audience had eyes full of doubts.

They had never heard of such a person before.

Where did this come from?

And as the applause on the field lasted longer and longer, but no one came to the stage, the doubts in their eyes became thicker and thicker.

What about people?

After a while, the applause gradually thinned out, as if sensing that something was wrong, and the venue fell silent.

A somewhat puzzled expression also appeared on the host's face.

The situation at the moment is obviously unexpected.

The most important award, but you can't wait for the winner?

"Do any of you know Xu Ran and know where he is now?" In desperation, he could only ask for help from the other washers in the audience.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, a middle-aged man stood up, "My bathroom is next to his." ”

That is Liu Cang of Cangyun Foster Care Shop, once upon a time he also won the reputation of "Washing and Caring Holy Hands", and now he is one of the "former Holy Hands" in the field, but this time the Washing and Care Exhibition only won the eleventh place, which is embarrassing.

Seeing everyone coming, Liu Cang was silent, "If nothing else, he should still be in his washing room." ”

"When I left, I saw that there were still customers queuing at the door of his bathroom."

"He seems... I'm going to finish all these overtime guests. ”

As Liu Cang's words fell, the audience fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone's face showed a look of surprise.

Obviously, they thought of all possibilities, but they didn't think it would be like this.

But after a few moments, many people showed admiration on their faces.

When the bell rings, isn't there a queue outside their bathroom?

Of course there is.

But they didn't think about continuing to treat these guests, because the awards at the care show were about to begin.

Compared with the washing and care that cannot get a score and does not make money, it is clear which is more important than the awards.

All they can do is say "sorry" or promise a discount when they come to the store for laundry later.

But now, some people ignore the award and complete the washing and care for the guests in line for free.

What's even more ironic is that the most important award at the award belongs to him.

There are also many people who are sarcastic, thinking that Xu Ran's approach is really stupid.

The winner was not present, and the host had to gossip and talk awkwardly with everyone in the audience to delay time.

Minutes and seconds passed, and finally the staff of the association came to the stage and took the microphone from the host.

"Since Mr. Xu Ran was not present, his reward was temporarily kept by the association, and Mr. Xu Ran himself came to the association to collect it later."

"The title of 'Holy Hand of Baptism' has taken effect, and from this moment on, Mr. Xu Ran will hold the title and corresponding honors for the next three years."

After speaking, the staff returned the microphone to the host and turned to leave.

"I declare that this award is over!" If the host was amnesty, he hurriedly said a few concluding remarks according to the script and announced the end of the awards.

He can finally stop talking awkwardly!

When the host also left, there was only one caregiver left in the venue.

Without the slightest hesitation, Duzian walked out of the venue and walked briskly in a certain direction in his memory.

The other washers in the venue looked at Liu Cang.

"Brother Cang, where is the Xu Ran washing room, take us to have a look?" One of the washers asked, and the others responded.

"It's over there." Liu Cang raised his hand and pointed at Du Qi'an's back and was stunned, "It turns out that Du Qi'an also went to look for him." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then one by one, they took a swift step and set off after Duzian.

It's a pity that they are destined not to see the man who never showed up but took away the honor.

Xu Ran, who had been informed by the staff that the title had taken effect, and who went to the association to receive the reward later, rode away on the stars in the grateful eyes of the guests after washing and caring for the last guest, and soon disappeared into the night.

At this moment, he only has Dawn No. 1 in his heart.

He's going to be a ruthless buyer.

When Du Qi'an and the other washers arrived, the washing room belonging to Xu Ran was empty, only the hanging plaque, the words "Xinghuo Foster Care Shop" were eye-catching.

——

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

A slightly dull knock sounded at the door of Dawn One.

At this moment, it is the top of the moon, but for Guangming Avenue, the lively night has just begun, and the pedestrians along the street are rubbing shoulders one after another, and the cries of frustration are coming and going.

Standing in front of the gate of Shuguang Building No. 1, Xu Ran waited for the person who opened the door.

"It's you, young man." Zhao Henian looked at Xu Ran outside the door, and quickly remembered the young man who came to inquire about buying a house a few days ago, "Are you here?" ”

"I'm here to buy Dawning One." Xu Ran smiled and spoke, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, "You said before that as long as I get the title of 'Washing and Protecting Holy Hand', I can sell Shuguang Building No. 1 to me, is this still counting?" ”

"Count." Zhao Henian nodded, and then suddenly, "Yes, calculate the time, now is just the time for the end of the washing and care exhibition." ”

"Listen to what you mean, you have already obtained the title of 'Holy Hand of Baptism'?"

"Kid got lucky." Xu Ran nodded calmly, "I believe that at this moment, the official website of the Beast Master Association has been announced, Elder Zhao, you can take a look." ”

"I'll have to see it." Zhao Henian nodded, took out his mobile phone and inquired.

After a while, he confirmed the authenticity of Xu Ran's words, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

Because of the excellent geographical location of Shuguang No. 1 Building, people come to inquire about buying or renting a house every once in a while.

Zhao Henian had long been accustomed to this, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Ran came to the door a few days ago, he wouldn't even remember the young man in front of him.

Not to mention, I hope that the other party will really get the honor of "Washing the Holy Hand".

At this time, Xu Ran suddenly came to the door and told him that he had won this honor and became the most powerful one among the washers, and the surprise in Zhao Henian's heart can be imagined.

"Please come in." Zhao Henian quickly had a smile on his face, like an old father who had found a good son-in-law, "I'll take you to see the building?" ”

"No, just buy it." Xu Ran smiled.

If nothing else, the situation in the building will definitely change greatly after systematic rectification, so there is no point in looking at it at all.

"Okay." Zhao Henian bowed slightly, "This Shuguang No. 1 Building is my painstaking work, if you want to buy it sincerely, how about 500 million?" ”

"Five hundred million?" Xu Ran couldn't help but take a light breath.

I still remember that at the beginning, he bought a branch store in Chuyun City, which was only more than three million, and the price of this building was enough to buy more than 100 branch stores.

However, Xu Ran also knows that the two are not the same.

On the one hand, Dawning Building 1 is much larger than the storefront in Cloud Picking City, and the scale is close to that of the Spark Foster Care Store in Demon Wood City.

On the other hand, the location advantage of Shuguang Building 1 is better than all of Xu Ran's previous branches.

One of the most important streets in a second-class town, the most striking building in the middle section.

The value of such topography is self-evident.

What's more, Xu Ran can afford it.

It's just 75,000 times for a small pet animal...

Buy it!

Xu Ran was just about to speak, when a delicate voice suddenly came from behind him, "Grandpa, is it cheaper?" ”

Hearing the voice, Xu Ran subconsciously turned his head, and after seeing the person coming clearly, he whispered, "Jin... Why are you here? ”

"This is my grandfather." Qiu Yue smiled and pointed at Zhao Henian, "Yesterday I heard you say that Shuguang Building No. 1 is your storefront, and I thought that my grandfather sold the building without me!" So you haven't got it yet. ”

"So, did you already know that you could get the title of 'Holy Hand of Baptism'?" Qiu Yue looked at Xu Ran's eyes, a little more inquisitive and curious.

What a confident person.

Obviously, the start on the washing and care exhibition was so bad, and he still had the courage to have the title in his pocket.

"Uh... This..."Xu Ran's face was slightly embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while.

He really didn't expect that the building he was going to buy turned out to be the Koi family.

In this way, some of the previous conversations are inevitably dead.

"So you two know each other." Zhao Henian smiled, "Since my precious granddaughter has spoken, then 400 million." ”

"Bought it!" Xu Ran immediately expressed his position.

Very good, save 15,000 small pet animal washing.

Knowing that Shuguang Building No. 1 belongs to the Koi family, Xu Ran has to take it down.

Maybe this building will have some good luck bonuses too?

"I'll call someone to do the formalities." Zhao Henian immediately picked up the phone and made a few calls.

He obviously has a good network in this regard, and soon several relevant personnel of real estate management appeared in Shuguang No. 1 Building.

They completed the handover of the property with great efficiency, and the surname of Shuguang One has since been Xu.

"Shuguang Building No. 1 has an owner, and I can be regarded as having a settlement in my heart." Zhao Henian smiled, turned around and left with Qiu Yue, "Youth, the future legend of this building will be written by you." ”

"I remember you said before that after officially operating a foster care store, the environment is better, and the cleaning and care effect can be further improved?" Qiu Yue waved his hand at Xu Ran, "After a while, I'll bring the pet beast to wash and take care of it." ”

"Always welcome!" Xu Ran laughed, watched the pair leave, and then turned his hand and closed the door of Shuguang Building No. 1.

In front of his eyes, a line of text appeared.

[Store renovation, remaining time 02:59:59]

It's still three hours, and the countdown to the storefront renovation begins.

"Looks like it will be open tomorrow." Xu Ran stretched his waist and smiled, "Two days and one night of washing and care is really hard." ”

"So it's better to raise the profile as soon as possible and let the new clerk take over the store."

The three little ones nodded in agreement.

Although they have participated in Xu Ran's cleaning and other services before, it was all a small fight.

This is the first time, and they have experienced Xu Ran's hard work.

Thinking that Xu Ran worked so hard for this family, and for the three of them to become stronger, the three little ones had an indescribable touch.

It's decided! Tonight Xu Ran rests, they have to train hard!

It just so happened that after the foster care store was renovated, the training area was ready to use.

The three-hour wait was not a long time.

Xu Ran took the three little ones to walk around, tasted the local food of Minghui City, felt the local customs, and returned to Shuguang No. 1 Building, the transformation of the system had been completed.

After the renovation, Shuguang No. 1 Building is no different from the original from the outside, it is still magnificent and magnificent, but there is an additional signboard of "Spark Foster Care Store".

But on the inside, there has been a sea change.

If Zhao Henian's grandfather and grandson returned to Shuguang Building No. 1 at this moment, they would definitely be extremely surprised to see this completely unfamiliar decoration.

Because it is completely different from the previous one, but it fits perfectly with the exterior decoration and fully meets the needs of the in-store business.

After taking the three small ones to inspect the brand-new storefront without missing a single dead end, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction and opened the task page casually.

[Main quest 4: Spread the branches.]
