Zhao Qi has never kept pets, and of course he has never been in a pet shop, but this shop feels strange. First of all, why did you see a black and white kitten sleeping in the crib majesticly when you entered the door? Second, instead of sitting behind the cashier and greeting customers, the young man who looks like the owner is lounging on a chaise longue
Still, the air in the store is clean, free of the pet poop smell she feared. The most important thing is that this store has relatively few types of pets, and there are no reptile pets that make her feel sick. It seems that these weird pets are very popular recently, as if to show their own personality. Zhao Qi is very grateful for this.
When she was looking at the pet store, Zhang Zian was also looking at her.
This woman is dressed in a famous brand from head to toe. Although it is not a top luxury brand, the price of a single piece is more than a thousand yuan. Her make-up was slightly thicker, as if she had put it on in the bathroom in a hurry, and her eyes were sharp, maybe she just lost her temper.
Zhang Zian's evaluation of her is that she pays attention to the brand, but the consumption is relatively rational, which can be regarded as the target group of the pet store, but it is not certain how strong the desire to buy pets is.
Even so, he didn't mean to come forward to greet her, and let her choose pets by herself. He just used the remote control to brighten the lighting in the pet display area for her to observe.
Zhao Qi's first impression of this store was good. Apart from being clean and tidy, the attitude of the store owner is also quite good, unlike some stores where sales and shopping guides stick it like a dog's plaster as soon as they enter the door, making a lot of noise in their ears. Non-stop, there is no mood to carefully select products.
She ignored the white mouse at first and didn't take a second look at all. In her impression, whether it is a gray mouse, a white mouse or a yellow mouse, they are all disgusting, and they may even contain germs.
Siam was the first to come up, and kept meowing at her through the glass of the display case. The voice is very thin and soft, just like the common meowing of little milk cats.
Samoyed froze for a moment, and immediately approached excitedly, sticking out his tongue and humming at her, as if he was acting like a baby.
Ying Short was a little reserved, not as impatient as the first two, but walked towards her in a leisurely manner, with a tentative meaning.
Zhao Qi was slightly taken aback. She usually lives in a high-rise apartment, and she goes to work early, and the off-duty time may not be accurate. Occasionally, she can see people walking dogs and cats in the public area downstairs, but those dogs and cats are all adults, and they look very noisy. I just want to bark at you, I have to ask the master to pull them away desperately...
When she was in middle school, something happened that made her particularly embarrassed. That time, she met a brown puppy, which was not big, but had a lot of sexual interest. As soon as it threw itself on her calf, it started to rub up and down. She was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt that her trouser legs were wet, and when she looked at the people nearby, they all covered their mouths and smiled at her maliciously, and then she understood the smell, and became furious, and kicked the puppy away. Now the owner of the dog quit, stopped her, said that she had kicked the puppy, and asked her to send the puppy to the pet hospital for examination... Anyway, the incident was quite big, and she also remembered that kind of The general name of the dog - Teddy.
This incident left a lot of psychological shadow on her. She used to think that puppies were quite cute. Since this incident, she has always avoided dogs, no matter how big or small they are.
She admitted that the white puppy in front of her was very cute, but sorry, dogs are not allowed.
Zhao Qi moved two steps to the right, left the Samoyed display cabinet, and stood between the Siamese and British short display cabinets.
Samoyed was very disappointed, sobbing in his throat, he fell down sadly, and his ears drooped listlessly. It didn't know what mistake it had made, why it disgusted the candidate master as soon as it came up.
The Siamese made more fuss, stood up half upright, pressed its front paws against the glass wall, trying to get its head out of the round hole in the center of the glass wall for her to caress. But the glass hole is very small, it can only protrude the mouth and nose at most.
Ying Short lay prone next to the glass wall, staring at Zhao Qi with piercing eyes.
In all fairness, these two cats are very cute, but Zhao Qi considers herself a lady, so she prefers the ladylike English short.
Zhao Qi's appearance is above average, with a rounded chin, not the awl face of Internet celebrities, and the short, round cheeks are also a plus in her opinion.
She was a little worried, did Yingduan dislike her
Zhao Qi turned around half a circle, and was about to greet the boss, but Zhang Zian had already stood beside him at some point.
"Boss, what kind of cat is this?" She flicked the glass wall of the English short display cabinet with her nails.
In fact, most of the customers who walk into the pet store are like Zhao Qi, who don’t know anything about pets, and a few of them know some of the most common types—especially dogs, such as huskies, Samoyeds, golden retrievers, etc., because dogs need to be walked. It can often be seen in the community or on the street, but the cat does not need it, and it is fine to stay at home for a lifetime. The more expensive cats are, the more reluctant their owners are to let them out of the house, so the recognition rate of cats is much lower than that of dogs.
Zhang Zian introduced: "This is just a British shorthair cat, and the one next to it is a Siamese cat."
Zhao Qi snorted, noncommittal.
Zhang Zian knew that such a brief one-sentence introduction was meaningless, so he asked, "I wonder if the guest has had a pet before?"
"No." She shook her head, her eyes wandering between Siam and Yingduan.
"If you are raising a pet for the first time, these two cats are very suitable. I personally recommend the British Shorthair." He said.
Zhao Qi hesitated and said, "I also think the blue one is very cute, but it doesn't seem to like me very much, does it?"
He explained: "These two cats are of different species, so their personalities are also different. Siamese are very warm to people, and they are very clingy after getting acquainted; British shorts are very warm to their owners, but they will be a little wary of strangers— You are a stranger to it now, so its attitude is not surprising."
Zhao Qi looked dubious, she wondered if the boss was perfunctory and just wanted to sell Ying Short as soon as possible.
"Are you sure? I'm afraid that if it grows up, it will still treat me coldly..."
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "Don't worry, these dogs and cats come from formal breeding farms, and I handpicked them out. Let's take Yingduan as an example. After their parents gave birth to a litter of kittens, they bred them. The breeder will select the kittens that are particularly close to people, keep them as breeding cats, and after they are raised, they will be combined with other kittens that are particularly close to people, so that the kittens bred will be more close to people.”
Zhao Qi nodded with a half understanding.
