Sun Xiaomeng refused to believe that Zhang Zian, who had a cheeky smile and a glib tongue, would have been a good boy in the past, but in fact, he was an honest boy in the eyes of his teachers and parents since he was a child. Every day after school, I go home to do my homework, and I don’t go out to have fun with my classmates. I didn’t change until I went to college.
As a child who grew up in a pet shop, Zhang Zian just had to watch pets in his own shop, and had never heard of the dog market in Nancheng District. According to Sun Xiaomeng, the scale of the dog market is not the main distribution center for scattered pets in Binhai City.
Although the dog market is called the dog market, it actually sells a lot of miscellaneous things. There are all kinds of pets, such as flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water... In addition, various pet supplies and feed are also sold.
Sun Xiaomeng said: "Ordinary families with average income levels generally choose the dog market when they want to buy pets, because the pets there are cheap. Only families with certain requirements for appearance and health will come to pet stores or cat kennels."
Zhang Zian can completely understand, after all, our country is still in the primary stage of socialism, the people's living standard is not particularly rich, and the pressure of life is very high, unlike him, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry... This is really a sad story !
Families who will come to pet stores or cat kennels to buy pets are optimistically estimated to be one-tenth of the total number of pet families. Most of them come from gifts from friends, adoption, other cheap channels, or simply picked up from outside. of.
"Not necessarily." Guo Dongyue interjected, "I would go to the dog market to look for parrots, because most pet stores don't sell parrots at all, and even if they do, the types and quantities are very few."
"That's true..." Zhang Zian thought carefully, and it was true.
Everyone is not stupid. It is cats and dogs that make money. Human and material resources are limited. Good steel needs to be used on the cutting edge. Ordinary birds are worthless, and expensive birds are hard to sell, so few people come to pet shops to buy birds. After he inherited the pet shop, he could count on one hand the number of customers who came into the shop to ask if he sold birds.
"If you want to buy a parrot, I have a suggestion." Sun Xiaomeng patted his sore legs and stood up, pointing to the north and said, "Go north along the national road from here, about 30 kilometers away, there is a bird I forgot the name of the breeding base. Anyway, the scale is not small, and it is very famous in the circle of bird lovers. Even bird enthusiasts from neighboring provinces and cities will drive there to patronize. I heard that there are a lot of species, even some rare There are expensive species, mainly all kinds of parrots, if you want it, you might as well look for it there.”
Zhang Zian heard that she understood quite clearly, and asked, "Do you know anyone there?"
"I don't know." She waved her hands alertly, "Don't think about me, I just heard about it, and the customer mentioned it in the chat while waiting for the doctor."
Zhang Zian was very disappointed. He wanted Sun Xiaomeng to introduce Guo Dongyue so that Zhang Zian would not have to run errands by himself, but in the end she caught the enemy first.
"Is there such a place? It's the first time I've heard of it." Guo Dongyue was also surprised when he heard it.
"It's not surprising, because the breeding base is only open to small circles, relying solely on word of mouth among bird enthusiasts. It is relatively small and does not advertise. Few people know about it." Sun Xiao thought about it, and added Said: "Actually, there is another reason... You know that many rare birds are included in the list of protected animals and endangered species, so the boss is relatively low-key."
oh! Zhang Zian nodded knowingly, now he can understand.
Sun Xiaomeng pointed to Richard on his shoulder, "Strictly speaking, it is illegal for you to raise it."
"Gah?" Richard opened his mouth wide.
"Is there another story?" Zhang Zian seemed to have heard it, but he didn't know the specific content. He used to focus on cats and dogs, and paid little attention to birds.
Sun Xiaomeng counted on his fingers, "In our country, there are only three kinds of parrots that individuals can freely buy, sell and raise: peony, tiger skin and cocktail. If you want to raise other species, you must apply for a license... Do you have a license to raise gray parrots? "
"There really isn't one!" Zhang Zian turned his head to Richard pretending to be sad and said, "Farewell, Richard! Between you and the law, I choose the law!"
"Huh?" Richard stared wide-eyed, "Having started chaotically and ended up giving up?"
"I've never messed up, okay!" Zhang Zian complained.
Sun Xiaomeng and Guo Dongyue looked at this interaction of one person and one bird rather speechlessly, and it would be a lie to say that they were not envious. Although I heard that African gray parrots are one of the few animals that can communicate with humans, not all gray parrots have this ability, I am afraid there is not even a one-in-a-million chance... Why did Zhang Zian encounter it? one
Shit luck! They all thought so, it's rare to meet such an extremely intelligent bird, but Zhang Zian taught him to be a naughty and unscrupulous bastard, what a shame...
If Zhang Zian heard their voices, he would definitely explode on the spot!
Sun Xiaomeng couldn't stand it anymore, knocked on the table, interrupted the conversation between Zhang Zian and Richard, and said: "Since you have a gray parrot, you should find time to apply for a captive breeding license, although it is no problem now , but maybe someone will use this as an excuse to trouble you in the future."
When Zhang Zian heard it, he really made sense. Although it is said that the people will not sue the officials and the officials will not investigate this matter, but if someone really sues, it will be really troublesome.
"What about the certificate?" he asked.
"I'm not too sure about the specifics. It's probably to prove that you have the breeding conditions and breeding techniques, such as the cage area you provide for the parrots, and whether you have a contracted veterinarian, etc. If all the conditions are met, go to the local forestry bureau Make an application." She emphasized emphatically, "This thing is very flexible, if you only plan to raise gray parrots for yourself instead of selling them, it should be easier to apply."
Zhang Zian pointed at her, "You are a veterinarian."
"That's right, I'm a veterinarian." Sun Xiaomeng stretched leisurely.
"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Zhang Zian knew that she would definitely not give him a certificate for nothing, so he was mentally prepared to be slaughtered. He is a good citizen who abides by the law and will never do anything illegal.
"You two second-hand employees are very diligent." She hinted.
"Okay, I understand. When my store reopens, I will let them continue to work at your place for a while, and I will pay the wages. Is it okay?"
Sun Xiaomeng gave a thumbs up, "Sure enough!"
"Stop talking nonsense, go back to your clinic to get a certificate." Zhang Zian urged.
"You think I'm willing to stay here with you? I'm purely here for Xinghai. I'm leaving first, and I'll come to play with you later!" She waved her hand lightly at Xinghai.
Xinghai tilted his head and thought for a while, then raised a paw and waved at her.
"Wow! Xinghai waved at me!" Sun Xiaomeng could be said to be elated, and left happily. 8)
