It turns out that cats are far more obsessed with kotatsu tables than humans.
It only took a few days for Lin Lan and the regular customers in the shop to be surprised and used to it later. Anyway, if they found that there were a lot of cats missing in the teahouse, if the quilt was lifted, they would be hiding in the belly of the table.
The tea guests said that although it was difficult for them to stretch their legs at this table, it was very convenient to catch cats, and it was good to hold one.
Cheng Fengyang wanted to visit the cat tea house often, but the reality did not allow it. The Spring Festival was over, and the company was busy. During the holiday, there were a bunch of fathers of Party A waving contracts and banknotes waiting for Party B to come to work.
Fortunately, there is no good thing.
"When you finish this order, I will invite you to dinner." Lin Lan said to him with a smile when he left that day, "Thank you for the lottery qualification, the table is very good. Where to eat is up to you this time. Certainly."
The only way to get along is to have contacts and contacts. Lin Lan didn't want to rely on Cheng Fengyang's interest in herself, so she would really feel at ease and eat the benefits without returning the gift.
Cheng Fengyang was very happy: "Okay, okay, I know there is a grilled fish restaurant that tastes good, let's go together then!"
Barbecue and hot pot have always been the best choices for young people to have dinner together, and the two agreed immediately.
More importantly, taking advantage of another chance to get along alone, Cheng Fengyang was in a good mood when he returned home, not to mention how happy the dog's head with the stars was.
"Mom, uncle laughed so silly." In the living room of the Cheng family villa, Li Mengmeng took his mother's hand and said his own opinion.
Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Cheng Xingyu, who went back to his mother's house to see him, was speechless: "It's quite stupid."
It's been a few months since I've known other girls, and it's just a little bit of progress. It's hard to get together for the second time and I'm happy like this... My brother's level of chasing people is really not good.
"It's not like that at all!" Cheng Fengyang was of course aggrieved by being so disliked by his own sister. He finally had a girl he liked. He didn't want to hug the beauty right away, but how could it be so easy, "You have everything. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!"
Cheng Fengyang didn't want to tell his family what happened before Lin Lan returned to Xicheng. Lin Lan treated him as a friend and respected him, so he told him some things about Modu, but it didn't mean that he could tell his family casually, so only Can vaguely say that the girl just wanted to concentrate on her career and didn't think about talking about friends.
"Fengyang, why don't you think about getting a cat?" Hearing what the younger brother said, the elder sister can only suggest this, "The stars can't become your common topic, you want to talk to others, You have to find a suitable reason for you to go there often.”
"Cat?" Cheng Fengyang, who was still rubbing the dog's head, looked stunned, "Do you want another pet?"
And Bian Mu, who he was holding in his arms, barked and barked immediately when he heard Cheng Xingyu's words, the whole dog half threw himself on the owner's knee, and his head was even more arched towards the owner's arms, the aggrieved dog The cry is that everyone can hear that this is selling miserably, as if saying, "No, no, don't raise another one, I want to be the only child! Master, don't leave me to raise a second child, oooooooooo!"
"Okay, okay, don't raise it! I don't raise it!" Cheng Fengyang quickly hugged Bian Mu who was so excited, "You are the only one in the family, only Xingxing, there are no other cats and dogs!"
"Wow, Xingxing is jealous!" Li Mengmeng, a kindergartener, smiled and clapped beside him, "Mom, Xingxing is so smart!"
"I'm so smart, I know that raising a second child will give him a favor." Cheng Xingyu saw that the dog was so noisy and knew that his younger brother would definitely not have the idea of raising a cat, so he could only change his mind, "By the way. , didn't you say that Lin Lan is very good at taming cats? It takes less than half a day to catch a vicious cat that bites people, and she is honest, you can start from this aspect!"
"Ah? Cat taming?" Cheng Fengyang, who was comforting his dog's son, raised his head blankly, then realized what his sister was saying, "Sister, do you want me to introduce business to Lanlan?"
"Yeah, you've been a home improvement designer for so many years, and you should have a lot of old clients, right?" Cheng Xingyu gave advice to his brother, "Those pet cats will definitely have one or two problems that give owners a headache. , maybe I have complained to you and asked you to help solve them when designing a house for them, you can start from these places."
Pets are not human, and they are mostly beasts in some places that are unsatisfactory. Cheng Fengyang was reminded by his sister that some of the clients he had worked with in the past were like this, and some even chose new homes or remodeled houses because of pets or wanting to keep pets.
"Sister, you really helped me a lot!" The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, Cheng Fengyang excitedly thanked his sister, turned his head and plunged into his room, "I'll go back and look through my customer information, if I have the opportunity to give those who have cats Make a return visit!"
Lin Lan doesn't like to owe others favors, so he will introduce her to the business, she will help the customer solve the cat problem, and he and the company will gain the reputation of the old customers.
Cheng Fengyang is working hard to get rid of being single. Across the street, Lin Lan, who knows nothing, is facing a leave application from employee Xiao Song.
"Store manager, I want to go to Cat Boss's place to take pictures." Referring to his main business, Song Xinmin's eyes were brighter than usual, "The daytime will not be too long in these three days, and I will also go back to the store in the morning and evening. Help with opening and closing the store."
Song Xinmin's request for leave reminded Lin Lan, who had been a boss for a few days, to think that the other party was only a part-time worker, but he was not surprised that he wanted to take a leave to shoot Cat Boss: "It's alright, you can go, there is me in the store. And Jiayi is enough."
At the beginning of the new year, not only office workers are busy, but there are also many people who are eager to find new jobs. Every unit is experiencing personnel changes to some extent. This time is destined to be the off-season for teahouses, and the store will not be too busy. At the same time, it is easier to recruit new employees.
"Well..." Watching Xiao Song leave, Lin Lan touched her chin and pondered, "Yes, it's not all that long. It's very difficult to hire a long-term worker."
Whether it is Song Xinmin, a wandering photographer, or Wang Jiayi, a young lady who is experiencing life, it is impossible for her to work long in her teahouse. The new recruit is something that you have to pay attention to.
Although it no longer snows in Xicheng, the weather in the first month is still cold. Song Xinmin, who has already changed into his gear, once again visited the abandoned dwelling where stray cats gather with his beloved camera.
The cold wind was piercing outside the house, Song Xinmin shrank his neck and pushed open the roughly repaired broken door, and saw a group of wild cats sheltering from the cold inside.
Thanks to the boss's greeting, this time he finally saw the head cat that he had never found before.
The raccoon cat was sitting high up, with golden vertical pupils watching him quietly.
"Hello, Boss Cat." Song Xinmin greeted it like the boss did before, "We agreed, you asked me to take a picture. Then..."
Just as he lifted the veneer in his hand, the cat boss jumped to the ground, and with a dexterous shake, the whole cat had already drilled out of a cat hole in the back.
"Hey, wait!" Song Xinmin quickly ran out of the house and went around to the back to chase after it.
He originally thought that the head cat would run away without a trace, but when he went around the back of the house and chased after him, he found that the head cat was stepping on an abandoned fence and looking down at him.
"You didn't run away." Song Xinmin breathed a sigh of relief, then reacted, "Is this waiting for me?"
The raccoon cat didn't give him any response, but continued to walk along the wall, and Song Xinmin quickly caught up.
A cat's catwalk is very hard for humans to walk. Many times Song Xinmin is chasing after him in embarrassment. He has no time to adjust the camera parameters and find an angle to take a good picture. When the shutter is pressed quickly, as for whether the photo is good or bad, it can only be screened slowly after returning home.
"I lost it again." Song Xinmin was tired and frustrated after following the cat around half a block.
This is the fourth time he has lost the cat boss. Fortunately, every time he just looks for the cat at a loss, the cat will inadvertently appear in his eyes and let him catch up again.
And in the gap between losing and losing, Song Xinmin can always see something in this cat's mouth, or a bird foraging in winter, or a piece of chicken thigh and fish that came out of nowhere. ... I don't know how it did it. Anyway, Song Xinmin was stunned, and the survivability of wild cats has reached a new height.
This cat is really spiritual and smart. Song Xinmin even thinks that this cat is the smartest little animal he has ever seen.
On the second day of chasing the cat to take pictures, he witnessed how the cat stole a live fish under the eyes of people. When the owner was completely unaware that he had lost a fish, it had already stepped on the ridge dexterously. go far.
"Husband, didn't you say you bought three fish, why only two?"
"How is it possible, I just bought three after listening to you, it's impossible to just buy two... Hey? Where's the other one?"
When the owner of the lost fish was wandering around behind the windowsill of the kitchen, Song Xinmin downstairs also hurriedly walked away, chasing in the direction where the cat boss left.
After following it for more than a day, the young photographer knew that the cat would be waiting for him.
Sure enough, in front of a deserted old house, Song Xinmin saw it still holding a fish.
"Meow—" At this moment, a cat meow came from the uninhabited dwelling.
Song Xinmin was stunned, looked down at the whole of the old house, and found that a layer of ash had fallen on the doors and windows, apparently no one had come over for a long time.
However, on the window sill of the old house, a corner of the broken glass, but a tabby cat got out of it.
The cat boss put down the fish in his mouth and gave it to the cat.
The cat took the fish and drilled into the window again. The cat boss sat on the spot and quietly watched it get into the house before walking away.
Why? The young photographer was puzzled.
At this time, someone walked out from a house next door, and Song Xinmin hurried forward: "I'm sorry, is there anyone in this house?"
The uncle who was questioned first glanced at him and confirmed that he was not a bad person before shaking his head: "No, there is an old man living in the house. He passed away because of illness last year, and his children don't live here. People are here."
"Yes, but I just saw a tabby cat in the house."
The old man was silent for a while: "That's the cat that the old man kept. The old man died, and he refused to leave, so he was waiting for him at home."
