New Year's Day, a national holiday.
At the same time, it is also a good day for major businesses to engage in online and offline activities. When you open your mobile phone, you can see all kinds of shopping apps madly prompting all kinds of full discounts. Putting down your mobile phone and walking on the street can also hear banners or open doors in many shops. The horns shouted various offers.
Tang Xiaoya is an ordinary office worker who takes advantage of the holidays to go shopping, and the kind of office clerk who sometimes has to work overtime on six days off.
Today's young people are under a lot of pressure in both life and work, and many people have even lost interest in socializing, let alone finding someone of the opposite sex to fall in love.
Is it because the game is not fun or the sleep is not fragrant enough, and my spare time is not enough, so I have to waste it on others
Tang Xiaoya, who no longer wants to continue to be hypocritical and polite to each other in the workplace, said that she would rather go out alone to suppress the road and let her mind empty, instead of thinking hard about how to deal with the people around her.
"Buy two get one free? 30% off the whole site? 50 yuan for the whole site... From? Can you make the word 'from' smaller?" Passing by shops, Tang Xiaoya vomited in a low voice while eating the egg waffle in her hand. He said, "There's nothing new in it, as long as there are activities during the New Year and festivals, it's the same way. I haven't changed the routine for so many years."
At this moment, a strong wind blew, and Tang Xiaoya couldn't help shivering.
"It's so cold! Sure enough, the sun in winter is useless!" She complained casually. In fact, the weather today is very good. .
At this time, she wanted to buy a cup of hot drink, whether it was milk tea or coffee, in short, it would warm her body by drinking it in her stomach.
"Looks like... Remember there's a milk tea shop around here?" Wrapping her neck and chin in a scarf, Tang Xiaoya followed her meager impressions of the past to find a shop, but she couldn't help it, she hadn't been to this neighborhood for a few months. , it is not easy to roughly remember what shops are here.
After she really found the specific location based on the familiar road signs in her memory, she realized that the previous milk tea shop had disappeared, and was replaced by...
"Wow!"
The young girl couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes were completely attracted by a Ragdoll standing on a European-style flower-shaped shelf behind the shop window.
In the winter, the soft and warm sunlight shines through the clean glass window and shines on the cat who is maintaining a sitting posture, making a soft halo on its originally soft and neat long hair, and its pink nose is like a sapphire. The clear glass eyes are embedded on the head with the beautiful double V pattern, and the big snow-white scarf on the chest makes it extra elegant and charming. As pretty as those plush dolls.
"What a beautiful puppet cat!" Tang Xiaoya was already clinging to the window glass in an unsightly manner, staring at the kitten with glowing eyes, even if the cabinet where the cat was placed was actually still some distance away from the glass, it was still unstoppable. Her enthusiasm at this time, "Ah, so cute!"
It seems that he is used to being looked at by humans with such idiotic eyes. The puppet cat is not in a hurry, and raises one paw and starts to lick its fur. Through the thick floor-to-ceiling glass, Tang Xiaoya couldn't hear the movement inside, but she could see that the little puppet meowed to the side while licking her hair.
She subconsciously followed Ragdoll's line of sight to the side, only to notice that she was staring at the right half of a shop window, and there was a shelf on the left half, and it was a heart-shaped shelf of the same style.
This shelf is more luxurious. It is a big peach heart-shaped outline with six black cats sitting on it. One is sitting on the concave top of the heart shape, two are sitting on the left and right curved outlines, and the bottom apex is also sitting. Sitting one.
The cabinet shelf is very cleverly designed. The four black cats sitting on the left and right sides just follow the outline of the shelf and stick the four hanging tails on it, forming a complete heart shape.
If the flower-shaped puppet cat stand on the right made Tang Xiaoya's heart cry out that she was beautiful and cute, the black cat Taoxin on the left, which was spelled out by six black cats, surprised her.
These kittens are also too obedient and obedient, especially these black cats. Although Tang Xiaoya also likes small animals, she is indifferent to black cats. In her memory, she met her once at night and scared her a lot. But seeing them in the window today, she unexpectedly found that the black cat is more elegant and beautiful than she thought.
Especially now, the glossy black fur in the sun, shimmering with a touch of gold, looks particularly advanced.
Tang Xiaoya stared blankly for a while, stepped back a distance, and looked up at the store's sign again - the "Cat Tea House" plaque with a fairy tale color hangs above the glass door on the left side of the window.
"Cat cafe..." she murmured.
Then he stepped forward without hesitation, pushed open the glass door and walked in.
The moment she stepped into the store door, Tang Xiaoya heard the meowing of the cats, as if the black cat and the puppet in the window were communicating with each other. If she could understand cat language, she would know she heard it right.
Muppets: "Mi woo..." (Mom is right, another human being is attracted by my beauty.)
Little black cats: "Meow meow meow!" (There are also many humans who are attracted to us!)
Muppets: "Meow!" (Mom said I'm the best looking!)
Little black cats: "Meow meow meow!" (Lan Lan said that we are also super cute now!)
The black cat mother who is on the finale of the peach heart: "Meow, woo, woo-" (Don't be noisy, Lan Lan told us that we should be a group of kanban cats today, don't blame me for beating you if you dare to mess it up!)
In an instant, the lively window area ceased, and the kanban cats continued to do their jobs, but Lan Lan emphasized to them that there would be many canned cats in the future, and it all depends on today.
Tang Xiaoya didn't know all these meow words, she just walked in excitedly, her eyes still staring at the window area, where there is a special exhibition area separated by glass walls, non-store staff can not enter, so you can see a few Customers who were also attracted to look at the cat on the glass wall of the store.
It's still morning, so it's not surprising that there are not many people in this store.
"Welcome to the cat tea house!" A hello sounded in his ear, and a beautiful girl wearing an apron with the name of the shop stood at the door and greeted her with a smile.
... I don't know if it's the clerk or the boss, but she looks so young and cute, it should be the clerk. Just guessing without responsibility, the clerk continued to talk to her.
"Guests, if you want to relax in our store, please come here to sanitize your hands first."
Tang Xiaoya followed her hand and saw a separate washbasin on the left side of the gate, which was also separated by a glass wall. You can wash your hands and disinfect it inside without worrying about spilling water droplets into the store.
Going to the cat cafe to play is to carry out simple disinfection. Tang Xiaoya, who has also played in several stores, knows this rule and cooperates very well with the disinfection. After coming out, she looked around: "There are no shoe covers for me?"
"Here is the shoe cover." Seeing her cooperation, the clerk smiled more cordially, pointing to the ground next to the compartment, where a shoe film machine was placed, "Take your foot on it, and there will be The membrane automatically covers the sole."
Tang Xiaoya has seen this shoe film machine on a certain treasure. At that time, she was thinking of buying one online for home use, but after she calmed down after the impulse of consumption, she found that she could not entertain several guests at home at all. There was no need to buy it. .
I didn't expect to experience it in a cat cafe.
The process of entering the store soon ended, and Tang Xiaoya began to move freely. She looked around at the decoration and furnishings of the new store. The first impression when she came in was that the whole store was very bright and warm. Relax.
The front and rear walls of the store are made of glass, which looks brighter and wider at the same time. There are several different styles of tables and chairs in the spacious reception area. There are fabric sofas and matching long tables against the wall. , or side tables and high stools that are built against the wall, cushioned and low tables that can sit cross-legged in the middle, or spherical lazy chairs that can be flattened into any shape, even against the glass wall of the back door There is also a bed-sized cushion, and guests in need can lie on it directly and enjoy the leisure time with cats and people.
On the clean floor, there are cats walking by from time to time. Tang Xiaoya secretly recognized them and found that they were all very good pet cats. The blue cat Siamese Mankikang was very beautiful. She even saw a golden-red Abisi. Nia is being teased in the arms of another guest, who is feeding him canned cats, with the doting look on his face of an old father.
Although Tang Xiaoya disliked that expression, it was not incomprehensible.
Perhaps because of the newly opened store, there is not much of the uncomfortable smell caused by too many cats that she always smells when she goes to the cat cafe. On the contrary, there is a pleasant aroma of milk tea.
Tang Xiaoya was reminded by the aroma, and remembered her initial request for a cup of milk tea.
Sitting directly by the cushioned table and chair, she picked up the small menu sign standing on the table and glanced at it. It not only sold all kinds of tea and cakes, but also various canned food for cats, and even wrote that it could be fostered or Services for pet cats.
Generally speaking, the price is really not expensive, at least it is at a level that is completely acceptable to an ordinary office worker like her, and after letting go of her last heart, Tang Xiaoya ordered a 40 yuan refreshment set according to her own mind: "Please give me this. "
After speaking, he decisively swiped the payment QR code printed on the stand and paid the money directly.
The tea in the cat cafe is actually average, Tang Xiaoya didn't have much hope, as long as she can have a hot drink, the rest is to find a cute kitten to hold her in her arms...
Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the mattress that he had seen earlier, on which lay a slender and domineering beautiful creature at some point.
It is a beautiful big cat with silver-grey tabby stripes and a body of more than one meter in length. The golden vertical pupils are squinting lazily, the white scarf under the neck is as beautiful as the previous puppet, and the big fluffy tail is rhythmic. Shake and shake. Winter is the hair-burst period for cats, and it is the peak of their appearance. This cat is even more so. Tang Xiaoya even feels that there seems to be a domineering spirit that is constantly radiating from this cat.
Tang Xiaoya's eyes widened in an instant, and she pointed to the past tremblingly: "Myanmar, Maine Coon cats? You still have Maine Coons in your store!" According to rumors, the appearance is domineering and cold, but in fact, Maine Coons have a super good temper!
"Yes, customer." The clerk who accompanied him replied with a smile, "This is the biggest cat in the store, and its name is Mercury. Not only Maine, but also other cuties."
Tang Xiaoya had ignored the words behind the clerk, "Refreshments will be here soon, the customers will wait a moment", she opened her mouth and stared at her eyes, and she had gotten up unconsciously, raising her Lushan claw to face the silver-gray claw. The big cat rushed over.
… and then was dodged directly by the big cat.
Tang Xiaoya's body was unbalanced, and her whole body was lying on the empty mattress. She even bounced twice. When she quickly got up, she saw that the dodging Maine Coon cat had jumped onto the wall nailed to the wall. The cat climbed the frame, looking down at it now.
"Meow." (Human, want to touch me, but no way.)
The self-righteous ridicule and disdain of the Maine Coon cat Mercury completely destroyed the image of the domineering and contemptuous after its voice was exposed, and it became even more excited to see the human below.
"Ah, the Maine Coon cat is really domineering and cute!" The girl held her face in her hands and was so excited, "Mercury, I must touch you!"
At this moment, although the language of humans and cats has never been in common, Mercury has judged the correct meaning from her eyes and tone. The big cat continued to meow disdainfully, flicked its tail, and continued to step on the cat climbing frame and ran into the distance.
Tang Xiaoya chased the figure of Maine, only to discover the mystery on the wall - cat climbing frames were installed on the heights of the four walls. They extend in all directions, which will not affect the movement of people below, but also allow cats to have a lot of space for movement. Feel free to come and go. This convenience of being able to observe their own site from a height at any time will give cats a great sense of security and comfort.
Oh, there may be a hidden effect - so that cats who don't want to be slapped can always avoid the salty hands of humans.
Do not! She will not give up!
Although she was disliked by Maine and severely hit half of her blood vessels, Tang Xiaoya clenched the remaining 50% of HP and said that she would never admit defeat and must get this cat!
The kanban cats are very powerful, and they attracted so many guests on the morning of the first day of opening on New Year's Day. Before, because I was afraid of disturbing the cat, I didn't dare to set off firecrackers. The situation was better than Lin Lan had imagined, and there were still quite a few strangers.
The cats in the store are very popular, and they are basically divided up by customers very quickly. Some of them even eat more because of their good looks. Like that Chinchilla...
"Meow!... ah hoo ah woo... Mi woo...!" (This minion, lower your hand holding the can and poke me in the face! And that minion, I don't like this brand of cat strips, don't give them away Come here!... What are you doing, that servant over there, you are not allowed to be empathetic and give the dachshund cat the canned food you gave me to eat, meow!)
Sweet like the coquettish little voice, who would have thought that the translation of the true meaning is so foul. Looking at the three strong men holding cans and being scolded by it while feeding it, their faces were still doting like "It's so cute, it's acting like a spoiled child at me", I feel like I can't see it Lin Lan, who went down, continued to walk forward while holding the freshly prepared refreshments with a blank face.
Speaking of which, not all the kittens in the store are willing to cooperate with her work like this, and use their cute tricks to get canned food or cat bars for themselves.
For example, the Maine who has not let any of the guests touch his hands, and has even been hiding. Sure enough, I still have to use some tricks to make it obedient...
"Boss, bring me one... no, three cans!" She heard the girl shouting aggressively at her when she was bringing refreshments to the new female guest.
Tang Xiaoya remembered that Maine Coon cats are said to be very edible. One can is definitely not enough. She couldn't believe that three can't attract this big cat!
Lin Lan: "..."
It turns out that I almost forgot that cats have another trick to seduce people besides being cute.
Lin Lan glanced at Maine Coon who was still on the cat climbing frame with a deep meaning. Lin Lan felt that the big cat could keep it like this, and she turned her head with a kind business-level smile: "Good customer, I will immediately Bring it to you."
The big cat Mercury is very confused now.
"Come down, cat!" The woman below shouted while holding the can, "Come down and I'll feed you delicious food!"
Why
"Enough? Enough or not, these are all for you!"
It is deliberately acting so cold, not docile and no family, why are these humans pestering it even more than before!
