Lin Lan was a little dazed by her mother's words, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
In the end, there was no clear answer to the conversation, only a vague "I'll think about it" to end it.
In fact, she is still more addicted to opening a shop, playing cats and making money than talking to her.
As for Cheng Fengyang...
Ouch, let it be!
After struggling all night, Lin Lan put the matter behind her after she slept.
It was spring, and the dozen or so cats in the teahouse had a new and more serious situation waiting for her.
Early this morning, the eldest Miss Wang Jiayi also routinely brushed her pet cat.
The bristles for pets fell down and brushed gently on Jinjila's body, and a pinch of hair came down.
Brush again, and a pinch of hair came down.
Brush again, or a pinch of hair down.
"My dear Baiyin, you've been brushing more and more hair recently." The eldest lady mumbled unexpectedly while brushing, "It's obvious that you haven't lost so much hair in winter."
"Because it's shedding season." Lin Lan, who was also grooming Maine Coon cats in the booth, replied, "I told you before that spring and autumn are the shedding season for cats, so don't wear them any more. Clothes that get dirty easily."
The eldest lady was stunned, and subconsciously raised her sleeves and looked at it: "… Huh?"
The blue-gold knitted cardigan she wore today was wrapped in an apron in front of her but had no sleeves, so she was "lucky" to see a large piece of slender white hair stuck to her arms, which instantly made her high-end Spring clothes have become old clothes at the bottom of the press box.
"Huh—when!?"
When spring arrives, catkins fly.
For the cat teahouse, it was Mao Mao Fei.
Even if Manager Lin and his staff diligently groom the cat, he still cannot completely prevent the occurrence of hair loss.
Even if the cat is lying there motionless, people can gently tug at it with their hands, and they can still pick up a few hairs, making it hard to prevent.
The guests who come to touch the cat are basically clean and tidy and walk away with cat hair.
To this end, the store has put a batch of sticky rollers to facilitate customers to clean up when they leave.
"It feels like the little cubicle where you comb hair every morning is a hair loss hell!" The educated eldest lady changed into more refreshing and non-sticky clothes, and even put on a mask for herself every time she combed her hair.
"That's right." Manager Lin stabbed a knife next to him, "Especially long-haired cats, the first for hair loss, Jinjila is the best. Silver looks good, right? Its big tail with feather duster is very refreshing every time you lick it. Right? It's time for you to pay off your debt."
Wang Jiayi's unrequited expression instantly pleased Lin Lan and Song Xinmin in the store.
"The hair loss rate of the cats in our store is actually quite acceptable. The two long-haired cats shed a lot more, but the short-haired cats are fine." Leisurely meow, watching what the teahouse was still doing. Xingren, the manager Lin, who had just put down the brush, sighed with his arms crossed, "The first year I raised snowflakes, the hair loss at home was terrible. That scene was much more terrifying than the dozen or so cats now combined. My mother was I remember clearly when I was angry with the whole family, and after I spent a lot of time changing the recipe for cat rice, the snowflakes shed less hair."
A nutritious cat meal, coupled with diligent grooming, is a simple formula to reduce hair loss.
For the hard work of the shit shoveling officers, the kittens take it for granted.
(This side, and that side, are scratched! This is here, comb twice!)
(Meow meow, so comfortable! Lan Lan does it again!)
This is a kind of active cat that actively lays down when brushing, letting the shovel shovel it over and over as a pancake.
(It's up to you to brush it or not, anyway, don't call us when the hair rubs against the sofa and clothes.)
This is me lying there, you like to comb or not, don't blame my cold cats for hair loss.
(Don't use this comb, replace it with a finer one, that comb is cool!)
(Put more force, you missed combing here!)
(Belly, belly here too!)
This is the queen mother cat who points out the whole process and what kind of service you want.
Lin Lan: "..."
All of you, you really live up to the name of the master!
Fortunately, grooming cats is not a chore for cat owners. The frequency of brushing twice a day is what everyone does is chatting and laughing.
Later, Wang Jiayi bought a big-name vacuum cleaner online, and replaced it with a special suction head for pets to suck cats directly. The cats reacted differently to it, some liked it very much, and some hated it.
Some of them approached quickly when they heard the sound, such as pet cats headed by Jinjira; some ran away in an instant, such as Momo and Gentlemen, stray cats who were in the wild when they were young.
Manager Lin and employee Song: "..."
Miss, you haven't received your salary for this month, so you spent almost two months' salary first.
It doesn't matter what other people and cats think about it, the eldest lady and her cat Jinjira enjoy it. For that one person and one cat, that vacuum cleaner is a practical toy that will never get bored in the short term.
After basically solving the cat hair problem, Lin Lan also turned her attention to the narrow courtyard at the back door. It was opened in winter before, and it has always been a cold and idle state where people do not go to cats or cats, and now it is finally available.
The fresh air system was installed in the teahouse as early as when it was renovated. The weather is getting warmer every day, and the taste in the store is still as comfortable as when it opened. When Lin Lan opened the glass door leading to the narrow courtyard, it was like a new world for the cats.
The warm sunlight stared straight down through the glass ceiling. Without Lin Lan greeting the cats, some daring little guys took the initiative to run out and try out the newly unlocked new map.
The wooden slatted floor is very clean, and the smell of decoration has long since dissipated under the specially made ventilation holes on the courtyard wall. The cats lowered their heads and sniffed the new smell separated by the door, and some had stretched their claws to lightly It was planed on top - the nails were clipped, and no traces were left.
Others stepped on the same wooden round table and chairs with a double jump, and stood with their small heads raised to look here.
"Wow, Lanlan, is this cat grass?" Wang Jiayi, who also walked into the yard, found a row of long flower beds planted in the corner, about three meters long and half a meter wide, and the flowers were not planted on them. , but green grass.
"Well, I planted two meters of the seeds that I planted a week ago." Lin Lan also walked over to the flowerbed and nodded, "Actually, not only, I also planted one meter of catnip. It hasn't sprung up yet, and I'll wait for more than a month. They can suck it up."
"Pfft... suck?" Wang Jiayi covered her mouth, thinking about the effect of catnip on cats, and her eyes narrowed strangely when she looked at the small half of the black soil in the flowerbed, "Hehehe, I like it, I'll be sure when the time comes. Fun."
Song Xinmin, who was standing at the door, shook his head helplessly as he listened to his colleague's perverted laughter, but when he thought about it, it was not incomprehensible that a group of cats would gather here in an enchanting pose to suck mint when the catnip grows.
The cats in the teahouse are unaware of the human conversation. At this moment, many cats come to the flowerbed and bite the cat grass. It's the shedding season, and the amount of hair that is usually licked into the stomach has also increased. Eat more Cat grass is good for the body.
The leopard cat Gray was also eating the cat grass. When he was eating the grass, the Russian blue cat Huihui also walked to the side. Just as he was about to get in front of the grass to open his mouth, the leopard cat pressed its paw on its head to prevent it from gnawing.
"Meow woah woah..." (mine! It's your turn after I finish eating!)
Manager Lin, who was talking to the employees, heard Grena's cat-like statement. Lin Lan frowned. Just as she was about to step forward, Mo Mo swooped over not far away, and the little black paw was given to the leopard cat. A slap in the head.
"Meow!" (The food is divided equally! The cat grass is also divided equally!)
The rules of the teahouse, the cats have long been accustomed to, the food given by Lin Lan is sufficient and fair, and the cats are not guilty of competing with the same kind. With the help of the manager Ariel, the kittens naturally behave themselves in front of important feeders. That is to say, a newcomer to Meowgray, there is always a little bit of misfit.
Afraid and not close to humans, and not well integrated into the cat group that is accustomed to being one with humans, the result of being vigilant and ruthless fighting has become a habit... is often used as a cat by the Moxie sect.
"Ha ha ha ha, Gray's got the ink on the cat." The lady laughed happily at the side, and the girl had a little love-hate lately because she couldn't touch a leopard cat. She was a little happy to see Gray hit.
"It should be better now." Song Xinmin looked at the little leopard cat who dared not fight after being beaten, and sighed, "Now the three of us are so close to it, it doesn't even want to escape. ."
"Well, it will get better and better in the future." Lin Lan nodded in agreement, and when she turned her eyes, she saw the shriveled gray in the corner.
Because of being suppressed by the leopard cat before, this Russian blue cat failed to nibble on the cat grass. Even if Momo gave it a head start, Huihui did not dare to go forward, but just waited quietly for the leopard cat to finish nibbling away before passing.
Lin Lan couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged the skinny cat into her arms.
"What's wrong? It doesn't matter if you want to eat grass now, Gray doesn't dare to hit you again." Lin Lan comforted Hui Hui gently.
The kitten raised its green eyes, and called out to Lin Lan with some grievance: "Meow..." (I'm scared.)
Cats are quite timid creatures, and sometimes they can be shocked by the slightest disturbance, and Huihui is a timid cat among cats.
Lin Lan didn't think it was cowardly, and Gray's personality should be said to be very docile. Because of its good personality, it is not conspicuous in many teahouse cats. Bantam cats like Jinjila and Mankikang dare to fight with their peers fearlessly, and Sapphire, a puppet with zero fighting power, also dares to fight. Doting on Lin Lan's favor, but this Russian blue dare not, it never causes trouble, it is a real honest cat among teahouse cats.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid, not afraid." Lin Lan rubbed the blue cat's head, "I'm here, no cat will dare to bully you too much. You don't think Gray was beaten by Momo, right?"
Hui Hui was lying in Lin Lan's arms, even if he was so comforted, he was still in a low mood, and he didn't want to chew on the cat grass.
"Lanlan, I've read some cat information, saying that the blue cat's combat power is very low, it seems to be better than the puppet cat." Wang Jiayi looked at Huihui and couldn't help but said, "Grey is still a must-have. The male cat was bred, the male cat couldn’t beat the female cat, and he was neutered, and he lost his temper…”
It's a pity that Hui Hui couldn't understand what the eldest lady was talking about, otherwise the poor kitten would have vomited blood and died in battle with this stab after another.
Lin Lan glanced at her helplessly, walked out of the narrow courtyard with the cat in her arms, and returned to the store.
At this moment, the rattle of the door rang, and when guests arrived, the employees stopped chatting, and immediately went to work.
"Huh? Is the small courtyard behind the door open?"
As soon as the tea guests came, they were as interested in the new map as the cats, and immediately walked over to look around.
"The lighting is really good, and it's quite breathable!"
"The paint on the wall is beautiful, the color is very comfortable!"
"What kind of grass are those cats eating? Could this be the cat grass mentioned on the Internet?"
"Look, there's also a small table here! It's quite sentimental to sit here."
"Boss, the tea I ordered earlier will be delivered here, I will sit here today!"
Looking at it, some people took a seat there and played, as if the beautiful small courtyard of the alternative private room was still very attractive.
The new photo-taking area is unlocked, and the tea guests are excited about themselves.
Not surprisingly, the narrow courtyard is another popular photo area.
There were employees greeting, but Lin Lan didn't pay much attention to the situation of the store. She was comforting the languid little blue cat in her arms.
It seems that because of the ocelot, the cat's self-esteem has suffered.
"Meow..." (Lan Lan, I don't seem to be able to do anything. I can't beat any of the cats here. If it wasn't for you, I would always be bullied.)
Huihui's self-confidence has dropped seriously, and the honest cat is very pessimistic about himself. Although he is an old cat in the teahouse, he doesn't even have the courage to fight against the new cat.
Oops, it's not okay for kittens to be so melancholy, their bodies will easily go wrong.
Manager Lin said that this cannot be seen as invisible.
"Grey, can I adjust a movie for you to see?"
Lin Lan held the cat in one hand and picked up the remote control to turn on the TV on the wall. She chose an old animal movie "Cats and Dogs" to play. Then she found a cushion and sat on the floor with the cat.
"Look at gray, there's a special agent cat in it that's a Russian blue cat."
Hearing this, Hui Hui raised his head. Because of Lin Lan's deliberate fast-forwarding, the screen played the story of the agent, the Russian blue cat, playing with the dog. The cat's eyes widened.
"Look at how handsome it is, Hui Hui, you and it's the same race, you can do it."
The plot has been playing in fast-forward, Lin Lan always jumped back and forth to show the cat the active scene of the Russian blue cat on the screen, and acted as a movie narrator to explain the plot of those clips to it. Interested, staring intently.
"Grey, look how handsome his last line is, "I'm a Russian blue cat, I'm cute but cruel", it's so cool, you can do it too. Speaking of the Russian blue's exit, Lin Lan patted the kitten's head and continued to encourage her.
By the time the movie was over, Lin Lan had already walked away, and the whole cat's spirit had recovered. It sat upright on the mat, with its eyes fixed on the figure of the agent cat frozen on the screen, its tail not moving. Stop tossing to and fro.
Finally, Hui Hui lowered his head and raised one of his front paws.
"Meow..." (I'm a Russian blue cat.)
The fluffy little claws exerted a little force, and the five hooks instantly bent out of soft meat pads.
"Meow!" (I look cute, but my heart is cruel!)
