Although it has been scheduled to open a store, this is not a bald mouth, and the store appears directly in front of you.
Not to mention the time it takes to get through the walls, carry out various decorations, and follow-up errands to apply for various business licenses after getting the shop, it is still a month before the two tenants move out of the shop. .
Lin Lan still had plenty of time to get a suitable kitten, but first of all, it was more important to learn how to make tea and the eight cats at home.
Lin Lan intends to make all seven cats except Snowflake become members of the teahouse, so some basic training is essential.
After getting the approval of her parents, she went upstairs to her new house. Only the simple and empty room was used as a resting place for the cats in a sunny room. There are all kinds of small toys for cats to play with.
Snowflake went out with the cat boss today, so there are only seven kittens in the house. The mother black cat lay lazily on the highest part of the cat climbing frame, basking in the good sunshine outside, with her tail twitching leisurely, obviously very relaxed.
But the kittens on the ground are not so stable and quiet. After three months, the cats have significantly strengthened their bodies, and they will be curious about everything in the world. Except sleeping, they have been exploring and playing in various ways.
These cubs are naturally very lively.
Just like now, a ragdoll cat is mixed in a bunch of little black cats, and some of them are having fun chasing a ball of wool.
Almost as soon as the door slammed, all the cats in the room looked in the direction of the door vigilantly. When Lin Lan's figure appeared, all the kittens, except for the stable black cat mother, ran over in a swarm.
"Meow!" (Mom, mom!) As the only long-haired cat in the cat pile, the white sapphire that is currently in the dark bushes happily rushed towards Lin Lan, but its speed was older than the others. The little black cat was much slower, and before it rushed forward, it was thrown to the back by the little black cat, and he fell down.
"Meow meow meow!" "Mi woo!" (Lan Lan, Lan Lan! You are here!) *N
The little black cats who came to her feet first kept barking at her, and the milk cat's voice came one after another.
"Let's see if you little guys are naughty." Lin Lan, who was already squatting and talking to the kittens, looked at the kittens, picking up the ragdoll cat who ran the slowest and putting it on his lap. I just smelled the smell in the house, and it didn't have a strong smell, which means that everyone has learned to use the toilet to go to the toilet, which is very powerful."
As a shovel officer, you know that cat excrement has a strong smell, and every time you clean the cat litter before you get used to the smell, it will cause various discomforts.
This was also the case when Lin Lan was raising snowflakes. Because she was a novice, she honestly worked as a shovel officer for the white cat for a while.
But her own mother, Wang Xiuzhi, didn't like the smell very much, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she grabbed the cat to the bathroom and literally taught a cat how to squat on the toilet to go to the toilet.
Since then, I have never bought cat litter at home, and besides the toilet, there is no more subtle smell in the house.
Lin Lan admired her mother very much for this, at least she never imagined that it would still be like this when she was beaten to death. So now that Sapphire settled in Lao Lin's house, Lin Lan only had to tell Xuehua, and the white cat was very obedient to teach this little puppet who recovered to health how to use the toilet.
"Meow! Meow!" (Mom, I taught them! I taught them to use the toilet!)
The puppet cat lying on her lap looked up at her and kept meowing for credit. As a large cat, the three-month-old puppet was no smaller than the five-month-old black cat around him. It was hung on the body by its well-groomed long hair. It was as beautiful as artificially polished blue eyes staring at her, and its pink mouth made a coquettish milk cat sound. It was really cute. .
"Sapphire is awesome!" Lin Lan couldn't help stroking along its little head. It felt really good in the hand, and suddenly there was an inexplicable premonition—
When the cat teahouse opens, the sapphire that grows again may become the top card among the cats in it.
Ahem, don't think about it any more, it's still too early to say.
"I have something I want to tell you." Lin Lan looked at the kittens who were squatting and watching her, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the black cat mother who was trotting over, "It's about hunting in the future. thing."
hunt! Foraging!
The most important keywords in cat life are put forward. Many cats have their tails erected instinctively, and their small ears are even more pointed.
"Cough cough!" When the cat mother also squatted down and stared at her very seriously, Lin Lan cleared her throat and made her expression and tone a little more serious, "In order to get more cat food and canned cat food , and more delicious dried fish, kittens, I need your help!"
The afternoon sun is just right, in the abandoned residential area, a group of stray cats are still lying on the roof, basking lazily in the sun.
"Meow woo-" (so you want me to help you find other cats that look like this?)
On the ground, the cat boss stepped on a piece of colored paper that Lin Lan took out. It had pictures of various precious pet cats printed on it. If you got closer, you could smell the ink that had just been printed.
"Yes, you and your companions must have seen similar cats among these cats, right? Generally, they have had experience with humans and can better help me get food from other humans. In return, I will always Adopt them and take care of them until they die of old age." Taking Lin Lan out to the old place, she took the words she said to the black cats in the small building before, and said it to the cat boss again, "If you can, I'm actually pretty good at it. Hope you come too, the promises are just as valid."
The cat boss didn't want to refuse: "Wow!" (Don't go to the two-legged beast's house! I don't want to be locked up!)
It is really a life of uninhibited love for freedom!
However, it was expected that the cat boss would not agree, and Lin Lan was not surprised, she nodded without mentioning this, and talked about another condition: "You help me find these cats above, and persuade them to go with me, I will also reciprocate. It's good for you. For every kitten you bring, how about the three bags of cat food I give to your group of cats? The food piles up, it's probably as big as that mound."
Pointing to the pile of waste bricks piled at the corner of the abandoned residential building, Lin Lan gestured to the cat boss.
No surprise, the civet cat agreed. There are twolegs who voluntarily feed, but it is much safer than taking other cats into the house to steal food.
Life is not easy for stray cats.
Not only the risk of being caught and beaten or even killed by stealing food, but also the risk of being poisoned and dying halfway through the food eaten, as well as going to the roadside trash can and sometimes fighting for food with stray dogs... These are all The danger that stray cats will encounter can easily die.
Cats that can be adopted by humans do not have to worry about food, let alone endure severe cold due to wind and rain. They can look at the outside world through the window in a heated house on a cold winter and snowy day, which is undoubtedly comfortable and happy.
It's just that a stray cat like the cat boss who loves the wild more will not shrink its claws and be locked up and stuck in place for the sake of food and so-called safety.
But it is not willing, there will always be other cat companions willing, and it is not always successful to find food.
Lin Lan's requests are actually beneficial to the cat. As long as the kittens on the paper can be sent to Lin Lan, other cats who do not want to be kept in captivity can also get food, and the cat boss can't refuse at all.
"Then it's settled. If the kitten above comes, you can ask the cat to come over by itself, or you can tell Snowflake to let me pick it up by myself. It's fine." Lin Lan made a final decision, "By the way, the weather is getting colder recently. , the beginning of winter is coming, is the place where you live still warm? Do you need me to make some simple cat kennels and send them over? In addition to the cat food this time, I also took some old clothes. Whoever wants it can take it away. "
Of course, I need supplies to keep warm from the cold. Lin Lan takes as much as the cat boss gives. Every winter, he takes away many of his companions. Stray cats who don’t have enough fat to keep warm will not be able to survive the arrival of spring.
"If it's too cold in winter, you can come to me. I have a spare room, which is enough for you to live in." After a while, Lin Lan said goodbye to the snowflakes and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the raccoon cat's head, but Being dexterously avoided by it, she greeted awkwardly, "Aha, sorry, it went well."
The raccoon cat didn't say a word, but just sat there quietly and looked at her. Lin Lan knew inexplicably that it wasn't angry.
Waving towards the stray cats, Lin Lan walked back with the white cat in her arms.
Because it was the second round trip, Lin Lan, who was already familiar with the road conditions, no longer took the same road as the first time, but knew where there was a shorter path. It is true that catwalks can be faster, but that is for cats to walk, and people do not have the ability to follow along the eaves and walls.
Lin Lan, who was familiar with the road conditions, only had to turn two streets and then pass through a sports plaza to see her own small building on the opposite street.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. When Lin Lan walked across the square, he found that there were not many people. Thinking that it was only Thursday today, it was nothing. On Saturdays and weekends, there were really many people here.
Because she was walking on the road with her cat in her arms, from time to time passersby would cast curious glances at her, and some of the cats she liked were a little bit eager to move towards the snowflakes in her arms, but after all, no one really reached out to stroke her.
Snowflake was held by Lin Lan very quietly, leaning on the owner's arms, the white cat full of security was very calm, not afraid of the pedestrians coming and going around.
However, Lin Lan, who was holding it, thought of a problem. It seems that she hasn't measured Xuehua's length and weight for a long time, and the kittens she brought back have not recorded it, so it should be recorded.
As soon as he got home, Xuehua jumped from Lin Lan's arms on his own initiative. The familiar environment at home made it very relaxing, because the other kittens moved to the new house. Only Xuehua, the eldest son of the first cat in the old Lin family, was kept in life. Been there for more than four years. Although the old Lin family also doted on the more beautiful and lovely second son Lan Bao, but in the end, he couldn't get past the snowflakes.
The adult cat, who is almost five years old, has a very stable temperament and accepts the fact that there are other kittens in the house. There is no terrible scene where the aborigines and the latecomers are incompatible.
Lin Lan smiled and watched as the white cat began to entertain himself in the living room. He also entered the room, walked to the writing desk, and pulled out a cowhide notebook from the drawer.
This notebook is a few years old, and it was also bought by Lin Lan four years ago. Because she didn't know how to raise cats, she specially got a notebook to record the data of Snowflake, and there are some standards copied from other materials on it. Data, such as how long a cat is, how much weight is considered healthy, and so on.
"How much does it weigh? Recently, in order to take care of the kitten's taste, I have changed a lot of cat meal recipes, and Xuehua has also eaten a lot. It's a bit heavy to hold today." In front of his face, his other hand habitually took out an empty plastic bag hanging from the belly of the table, and then threw it into the living room without looking at it, then went back to sit beside the bed, and flipped through the pages. previous records.
A few minutes later, there was a shredding sound of plastic bags being smashed in the living room, and the sound disappeared after a while.
Lin Lan immediately got up from the bed and walked out of the room still holding the book in one hand. On the empty floor of the living room, a cat got into the empty plastic, and Lin Lan picked it up with the empty hand. The bag was placed on the electronic scale placed at the entrance.
The data is quickly displayed on the electronic scale: [4.5KG]
"Last time it was 30cm long and weighed 3.8KG. This time I really gained some flesh." Lin Lan swiped the recorded data, "Yes, it's all within the normal range, you don't need to gain weight or lose weight."
A series of actions were so smooth that she cried out after she had finished everything.
"I don't need to trick it into weighing it like I did before!" Looking at the cat that was still in the plastic and couldn't come out, Lin Lan put her head in her hands, "I can already talk to it, just move my lips, What are you doing so hard!"
The white cat in the bag was completely unaware of her collapse, and was still happily inside, calling out to her: "Meow-" (Lan Lan, have fun! Do it again!)
you stupid cat!
After Lin Lan reacted, when she went to measure the length and weight of Sapphire and the Black Cat family, she did not make this mistake again, but Snowflake, who followed her heels, brought the plastic bags to the new house, which directly led to these kittens. It is to dash forward and then drill into it.
Lin Lan, who could translate their meowing, listened to the ears full of "Hahaha, have a good time" and looked at the little black dumplings peeking out of the plastic bag, and couldn't help but die.
A group of little silly cats who just walk away!
Since the tea house is going to be opened, the craft of tea and snacks must be learned as soon as possible. After being busy with the cat channel, Lin Lan went to Xiao Zhang's milk tea shop the next day to learn the craft.
Xiao Zhang's craftsmanship is not very good, but he teaches people in an orderly manner, which makes it much easier for Lin Lan to learn. She can already make several kinds of milk tea in a day.
She couldn't help sighing secretly, and only after she got in touch did she realize that it was no wonder that milk tea was everywhere, and it really didn't have much technical content to learn. It is estimated that in three days, she will be able to fully cook the milk tea formula operated by this store.
Lin Lan was learning to make milk tea by herself, but Xiao Zhang was stunned and surprised.
Why is it that he taught the milk tea steps by hand, and the landlord's daughter made a cup by herself and it tasted so much better than what he made!
"Boss, give me a cup of strawberry-flavored bubble milk tea, and a cup of matcha milk green!" Outside the store, a customer riding a small electric donkey came to the door temporarily, "It should be cold, not hot!"
Xiao Zhang subconsciously took the two cups that Lin Lan had just prepared, sealed them, and put a straw into the milk green cup as requested.
The customer took a sip and was very satisfied: "It's really good, my wife didn't lie to me! Boss, your family has improved the formula, and the taste is much better than before. I will come again next time!"
After he finished speaking, he rode the little electric donkey and ran away, as if he was in a hurry to give the rest of the cup to his family.
Xiao Zhang, who didn't have time to explain from beginning to end: "..."
He looked sadly at Lin Lan, who was still mixing milk, and received a speechless and funny look: "Look at me? Don't you know how I make milk tea? I'll teach you how to match fructose and milk. What can I do if you can't get stuck all the time?"
The taste of milk tea is easy to make, but it is difficult to make it just right to make the sharp tongue feel happy. Obviously Lin Lan has this talent, but Xiao Zhang does not.
So Xiao Zhang was sad but helpless.
The person behind is still piercing his heart: "I have almost learned milk tea. You can teach me how to bake cakes and waffles tomorrow."
Leaving aside the worrying journey of Store Manager Xiao Zhang, Lin Lan, who had learned the refreshment course very easily, received a message from the cat boss two days later that they had found the cat she wanted, and had persuaded him that he was willing to go home with her.
"Really? Or two? That's great, thank you!" Lin Lan didn't ask any further questions, and just picked up the pet bag she had prepared for a long time. run outside.
"Where are you going, Lan Lan?" Wang Xiuzhi, who happened to meet her daughter and rushed out, asked inexplicably.
It's just that the girl had already run far away at that time, and the voice "Go pick up the cat!" in the corridor was quite loud.
Today is the weekend, and many people come to the square to walk and play.
Cheng Fengyang led the dog and strolled in it with his sister Cheng Xingyu, who was holding his daughter next to him.
Her sister is now scolding her 5-year-old daughter: "It was you who was arguing to come out to play, but now it is you who shouted and hugged, Li Mengmeng, you are already a big child in kindergarten, you have to talk about it. ?"
It's strange for the little girl to take care of you.
Cheng Fengyang pretended to look left and right, and was complaining about his sister's training lines in his heart.
Sure enough, the little girl was unmoved at all, and even hugged her mother's neck tightly: "No, no, I won't come down! Mommy, my legs are tired, and I have to ask my mom to hug me!"
"Are your legs still tired?" Cheng Xingyu was about to laugh at his daughter's shameless laughter, "It's okay, you won't be tired if you come down and run."
The daughter is not fooled: "Mom, not only my legs are tired, but my feet still hurt."
Cheng Fengyang felt a pain in his stomach, he almost couldn't help laughing, and then he was met with a vicious stare from his sister.
"Mom is tired too, let your uncle carry it." Cheng Xingyu made a gesture to throw the 40-pound burden in his arms to his younger brother.
"Don't, I'm still holding the stars!" Cheng Fengyang refused immediately, and quickly led the way, "Hey, look at Mengmeng! Someone is blowing bubbles over there, a lot of bubbles!"
The little girl was quickly attracted to her attention. She followed the pointing and saw a toy stall not far away. The hawker in the stall was selling long stick-shaped bubble blowing toys. Kong Li flew out.
"Wow—" Needless to say, the little girl broke away from her mother's arms and ran towards the toy booth with her short legs.
Although the problem of the child's unwillingness to go down the ground has been solved, Cheng Xingyu is not grateful to his brother, and even glared at him again: "Why did you lead her to see that, and then you will be yelling to buy something!"
Buying things is not the key, the key is that not long after the things are bought, the little girl has no interest in throwing them aside.
This is the biggest headache for adults and the most inexplicable place so far.
"It doesn't matter, it's not expensive anyway, just buy it for your children." Single dogs don't understand the pain of parents with children, so they put it lightly and don't care.
Cheng Xingyu just sneered: "Okay, then your uncle can buy it for her."
If he buys it, he will buy it. It's a matter of ten dollars at most.
Later, just as my mother guessed, my uncle bought a bubble wand for my niece. The niece took the thing in her hand and threw the bubbles three times. The next moment, she was attracted by the parent-child car slowly driving over from the next door. .
"Mom, Mom! I want to sit on that!" The little girl put the bubble stick in Cheng Xingyu's hand and ran there.
The mother behaved calmly throughout the whole process, and shoved the bubble stick back into her brother's hands with no expression: "You bought it, you can play by yourself." Then she chased her daughter away.
Leaving Cheng Fengyang holding the bubble wand in his hand, he was completely dumbfounded, did the co-authoring finally become him buying toys for himself
In the distance, the elder sister had already taken the child to drive the car on the square, completely ignoring him. Cheng Fengyang lowered his head and looked at the dog leash in his hand. On the other end of the leash, the clean and beautiful Bian Mu was flicking his tail at him. After more than a month of treatment, all the wounds and hair on Bian Muxing's butt were healed, and he was willing to come out to play.
At this time, seeing the owner staring at it, it shook its tail and gave him a "wow", but its eyes were fixed on the bubble wand he was holding in the other hand.
"You want to play this?" Cheng Fengyang shook his head when he saw the dog's gaze.
The dog's tail wagged more happily.
The sun in the early winter made the square very warm today. People bathed in it walked around comfortably. In the wide square, a young man in casual clothes flung a bubble wand in his hand and ran wild with laughter. There were countless colorful bubbles. The bubble was blown out by the wind under his running, and the one behind him ran while chasing the bubble from time to time. One person and one dog had a great time.
Until he grinned and ran, jumped and teased the dog, and was met by Lin Lan who was carrying the cat cage across the square.
The author has something to say:
That's right, the sand sculpture above is the male protagonist.
They live in the market, so the male and female protagonists are ordinary citizens, and there is no such high-level status as CEOs, wealthy daughters, etc. It is just two ordinary people who meet and then fall in love and get married.
But the point is the kittens.
