The gentleman handed over the flowers, which was Lin Lan's last training for the orange cat before it left the teahouse.
Although because of Yaoyao, the Xiao family will definitely raise the gentleman well, but if a cat wants to join a new family, there will always be a period of running-in and adaptation.
The more humane and likable a gentleman is, the better for his future life.
Manager Lin is still very confident about whether this scheming cat can win the hearts of the Xiao family and his wife when it goes to the new home. Daju has always been very good at competing for favor.
While the eldest lady was holding her mobile phone and wailing non-stop, Manager Lin was already busy with other things in the teahouse.
When Yaoyao's family left, the catnip planted in the backyard was already flourishing.
Small lavender flowers towered in the shape of a pagoda on the flower branches, crowded together in clusters and filled the flower trough.
At this time, a pair of golden-red kitten claws wrapped a bunch in a hugging posture. It was the Abyssinian cat pudding. At this time, the cat was completely dignified and elegant, and the whole cat was completely lost. His head was buried in the mint pile and gnawed and licked, completely intoxicated and completely unable to extricate himself from it.
Not only the pudding, but also several cats rubbing against the flowerbed beside it. Some rolled on the spot after inhaling the smell, twisting with their belly up; some lay still, pinching and biting a bit of a leaf with their claws; some spun around excitedly , Because I was too excited, I suddenly brushed the cat next to me and licked it vigorously; some were even worse, either sneezing or drooling.
This picture of cats gathering to suck mint has completely subverted their usual appearance. Anyway, the tea guests who stayed in the lobby and watched through the glass wall while recording the video with their mobile phones laughed crookedly.
"Hahahaha! These videos and photos are enough for me to have fun for months!"
"Me too, many pictures can be directly made into emojis!"
"Look at this pudding, a noble Abyssinian in front of a man, and a cat gnawing grass in the back of mint!"
"The sausage is really fierce. After the mint, I am the strongest kitty, and the lowest chassis can conquer the big brother Mercury!"
"Golden carbon is the best. Siam is worthy of being a husky among cats. Seeing this little body twist makes me laugh to death."
"Cat Zhong Er Ha Mingming is a cow cat, look at that stupid, drooling and desperately rubbing against the flower trough, it makes me laugh!"
Of course, the sixteen in the teahouse... oh no, now there are fifteen cats who don't all respond to this plant that is said to cause hallucinations in cats, and they are not interested in catnip at all if they have a small cat. Gao Leng nestled in other corners of the teahouse, allowing those over-excited ones to be taken by the two-legged beasts laughing and taking one ugly photo after another.
The Xiao Song employee who couldn't bear to watch it shook his head and sighed: "Thankfully, this situation usually only lasts for a quarter of an hour, and it's not harmful to cats, otherwise I'll want to pull the weeds just by looking at me."
Lin Lan, who was next to him, listened to it. Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw that the sausages in the narrow courtyard threw themselves on Mercury's body, and Mankikang's short legs were over a meter long. The scene of the big Maine Coon cat licking his fur to recognize his little brother was so funny that it made a group of people laugh and made Manager Lin lose his words.
"Hey, the seeds are all planted, let them have a good time, it's also a way to relieve the stress of the kitten." Finally, Lin Lan could only describe it like this, "By the way, Xiao Song, what about your photo contest? Has the result come out?"
It's been more than two months, how can there be progress
Speaking of this, Song Xinmin smiled: "The photo I sent to the competition was shortlisted last week, and now it has entered the final selection stage. The results of the competition will be released within a week at most, and the winning entries will be published in magazines."
"Are you sure you can win the prize?"
"Yes!" Song Xinmin replied with certainty, even if he didn't believe in his own skills, he still believed in the cat model. The temperament of that cat can be felt by anyone with eyes.
The short chat was over, and after a while, Lin Lan took the broom and dustpan to clean up the mint party scene left by the kittens, and swept away all the messy flowers and leaves they had eaten.
"I've planted too much, and I'll have to plant a little less next year." While sweeping, she muttered to herself, "Toffee, don't chase after my broom, and be careful to sweep you in too."
The silver gradient that hasn't come out of the mint aftertaste is still going its own way. In the end, it was carried out by Song Xiaoge with his limbs upside down, until he was put into a bowl-shaped cat litter with his head hanging by the side of the bowl and his tongue crooked beside his mouth. The silly appearance once again attracted the laughter of the tea guests and the shutter sound of the mobile phone.
This scene will happen every three days after the catnip grows, but the regular customers are very happy about it, because it is so funny.
The employees who I often see are gradually immune to this, such as Miss, who is now more concerned about how to spend the two months’ wages she has saved than watching cats gather to suck mint.
Seeing Yaoyao being treated by her parents taking care of her in every possible way, Wang Jiayi inevitably thought of herself.
When she was young, she was raised with such care because of her frail health. The kindness of her parents, who could not understand her when she was a child, became more and more clear after she learned a lot in the teahouse.
But just because she was sensible and understood, Wang Jiayi didn't dare to take the initiative to call her family.
After thinking about it left and right, she couldn't make up her mind to make a phone call. The eldest lady simply skipped this item and took Lin Lan out for shopping while holding her warm salary.
"Lanlan, I've saved all of my salary for the past two months." Wang Jiayi made an invitation to Lin Lan, "Money, not much money. So, do you know where there is a suitable mall where I can buy gifts?"
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, and only after seeing the very nervous expression on the other side did she understand what she really meant.
The eldest miss wants to buy gifts for her family, but because she doesn't earn much money from her part-time job, she can't afford to spend as luxuriously as usual, but her family's living standard is still there, and the things are too low, the eldest miss is unwilling. , just come over and ask her where the thousands of salaries of the local people are best spent.
"Choosing gifts, of course I know where to buy them." Lin Lan didn't refuse. The conflict between the eldest lady and her family was actually very simple. The stalemate from last winter to the end of spring was almost over. "You plan to buy a gift. How many people?"
"Three people." Wang Jiayi replied subconsciously, but suddenly thought in her mind that she could only buy 2,000 yuan per person on average, and the eldest lady's face began to burn hot again, "... No, otherwise I will save more. a month."
"No, enough money." Lin Lan interrupted her shrinking adoption, and it would be summer if she dragged it on, "The price of this grade is enough to buy a gift with good quality and taste, so I won't be out of luck. You don't even think about it, which daughter gave her first two months' salary to buy gifts? Are you very sincere?"
Manager Lin cleverly avoided the fact that the eldest lady and her family were not less than a few thousand yuan, and only mentioned the preciousness of their hard-earned money for two months. .
When they go shopping, they are naturally forced to watch Song Xinmin who is in the shop for a long time by himself: "..."
Watching the store alone is not the point. The point is that the manager brought out the skill of flickering the kitten and flickered people, and it was he who wanted to complain that he succeeded in flickering.
On the second day, Song Xinmin, who was guarding the teahouse alone, saw Cheng Fengyang, who was not looking for someone for the first time, but was empty, and his speechlessness deepened.
Lin Lan didn't know about the little episode in the teahouse. Knowing that, she could only tell Cheng Fengyang to either go back or wait in the teahouse. She had already come out with Wang Jiayi to the designated shopping mall.
"It's this mall." The local store manager Lin pointed to the crowded square in front of him and introduced it to the eldest lady, "It's a middle-to-upper-grade level in Xicheng, and there aren't many luxury brands in it, but the quality of the things it sells is high. The after-sales service is very good, and the reputation is very good. Everyone in my family bought their new clothes last year here.”
"This is my impression. I remember the scarf you bought during the New Year. Although it is a brand I have never heard of, the style and quality are very good!" The eldest lady also quickly recalled some things, and she was originally apprehensive. His expression became calm.
Wang Jiayi followed Lin Lan into the shopping mall building. When a dazzling array of shops were in sight, the two women quickly immersed in the fun of shopping. The eldest lady, who rarely visits stores other than luxury brands, saw the super cost-effectiveness of mid-range products this time.
Lan Lan is right, "cheap is not good" because of "cheap", but when it comes to the four-digit unit price index, most conventional products can no longer be considered cheap!
With her years of shopping experience, Wang Jiayi picked out a tie, a pair of earrings, and a gem cufflink, corresponding to her parents and brother at home. Regardless of brand value, quality or style, these items are not inferior to those of big brands, so Wang Jiayi is very satisfied with this shopping trip.
"How is it? Everything is good, right?"
When Lin Lan asked with a smile, Wang Jiayi was nodding happily with her bag.
After a few hours of shopping in the mall, the two of them were hungry near the meal time.
"Lanlan, thank you today, I'll invite you to Western food!" The eldest lady took Lin Lan and was about to go to a Michelin restaurant opposite the mall.
Manager Lin was so frightened that he dragged the person back on the spot, and refused with a serious face: "Jiayi, don't be like this, think about the wages we spent all morning buying gifts, and then think about the wages that are more expensive than the wages. Don't you think something is wrong with the meal?"
It seems quite wrong.
Wang Jiayi stuck out her tongue, and immediately changed her mind: "Where shall we eat then?"
"Look for it as you walk. There are quite a few restaurants nearby. Then you can choose one you like." Lin Lan suggested this, and Wang Jiayi readily accepted it.
The spring breeze is warm, and the two of them who haven't been out shopping for a long time feel very relaxed. Manager Lin suddenly thought that it was not good to open a tea house by himself. The result of working for himself was that the vacation was gone.
Just when she was thinking about whether to give herself a fixed rest time, Wang Jiayi next to her suddenly screamed.
"Yeah! There are mice!"
Following her screaming, Lin Lan found a black mouse that had just emerged from the sewer. The mouse was moving very fast. As soon as Wang Jiayi's short scream ended, it was about to run into the bushes in the green belt. .
Just as it was about to be thrown into it, a kitten suddenly got out of it, held down the mouse with an extremely fast and accurate pounce, and then bit, hugged, and swung back and forth to bite a dragon... The mouse is completely Losing his resistance, he was held in his mouth by the kitten and disappeared all of a sudden.
"Okay, it's amazing..." Wang Jiayi, who forgot to be frightened, stared at the bushes that had long since disappeared.
The cats that the eldest lady has seen have always eaten cat food and cat food and played with cat sticks. I have never seen such a live version of cat and mouse, and the cat is only three months old at most, and its skinny body is not that much. Mice are fat.
"There are many restaurants nearby, and it's normal for mice to get fat." Lin Lan couldn't help but said, "But the competition for stray cats is quite fierce."
Such a big cat is so powerful, but it is still so thin.
Both Lin Lan and Wang Jiayi thought it was a short-lived episode. Afterwards, the two found a restaurant to fill their stomachs and were about to take the subway home when they encountered the kitten again.
It bit the mouse it had caught earlier in half and sent it to a female cat, arching its head for the big cat to eat, calling and urging from time to time.
But everyone could see at a glance that the female cat was already dead.
