Tim and Lauren heard Zhang Zian calling "Richard". They didn't know who he was calling. They followed the sound and looked towards the second floor, only to see a large group of gray shadows flying towards the second floor with the sound of rattling. It fell unsteadily on his shoulders. When they took a closer look, it turned out to be a very clever-looking African gray parrot.
Richard folded his wings, pressed them against his side, and turned around, "What can I do with my uncle?"
Zhang Zian motioned to the two crooked nuts standing in front of him, "Help me listen to what they are saying."
Tim and Lauren were stunned. Although they couldn't understand what the gray parrot was saying, it was obvious that it was having a conversation with the young shopkeeper, asking and answering, and the ups and downs of the voice could never be fake. of. They were cattery owners and were completely ignorant of parrots, and even so were deeply surprised.
Richard raised his eyes, "Gah? It turns out that they are two crooked people, no wonder you asked me for help! What language do they speak?"
"English." Zhang Zian defended himself, "Actually, I can understand, but they speak too fast, and I can't keep up."
Richard stared at him contemptuously, "If you don't understand, you don't understand. Why pretend! Let them say it again, my uncle listens."
Zhang Zian smiled at them apologetically, and said in English, "I'm sorry, please say it again?"
"Eh..." Lauren recovered from her surprise, and repeated what she said just now, but this time she unconsciously spoke a little slower, Zhang Zian understood more even without the help of Richard, welcome He stepped forward and shook hands with the two of them.
When he got closer, he realized that Lauren was actually not petite, she was taller than most Chinese women, but standing next to her husband looked petite. As for Tim, a big man... the closer he got, the stronger Zhang Zian felt the pressure. After shaking hands, he quickly retreated to a safe distance.
"They watched the video of the kitten dancing and came to visit," Richard explained succinctly.
Come to visit... Zhang Zian took a look at their big bags and small bags. Is it so exciting to come to visit
He was not a fool, he knew that coming to visit was just a polite remark, and he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, not to mention that he came from Los Angeles across the ocean, and it was definitely not just for a simple visit.
Zhang Zian was thinking about how to reply, when Richard couldn't wait to respond in English: "Quack! I'm Richard Jefferson, and this is Jeff Richardson. Nice to meet you!"
"Your uncle!" Zhang Zian was about to play it with his fingers, "Why did you even change your surname!"
Richard dodged deftly and dodged, "Okay, okay, I really can't help you. Sorry, slip of the tongue! Let me reintroduce, I'm Richard Jefferson, this is Jeff Zhang, Nice to meet you! Call me Richard, just call him Jeff." This sentence is followed by English.
Jeff Zhang is pretty much the same, let's make do with it... Zhang Zian didn't bother with it anymore.
Tim and Lauren's jaws were almost dropped. The parrot spoke standard BBC English, and the words were round and elegant. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have thought it was a parrot. say! What shocked them the most was that the parrot could speak both English and English, which is amazing!
Seeing their expressions, Zhang Zian sighed. As expected, he should keep a low profile. He said to them in English, "Sorry, let's leave." After speaking, he took Richard to the second floor.
"What's the matter? My uncle is about to show his skills!" Richard complained.
"That's right, you will be taken away and sliced after you finish showing your skills." Zhang Zian glared at it, "What if these two people are disguised by cia, fbi, kgb, or scp?"
Richard: "... I can't be sure about the first three, and the last one is definitely because you think too much!"
"In short, we must keep a low profile." Zhang Zian said forcefully.
"Actually, it's because you want to pretend not to let me pretend, right?" However, Richard has already seen through everything.
Zhang Zian made a gesture to strike, and Chi Guoguo threatened: "Your uncle! You promised to help me find a girlfriend, but now I haven't even seen a hair of my girlfriend, you still have the face to bargain with me!"
"Okay, this matter is my fault, and I rashly took on an epic task, so I'll pretend to be coercive for you for the time being." Richard said helplessly, "Then what do you say?"
Zhang Zian made up his mind, and said: "This way, you stand on my shoulder after being invisible, and when you want to speak, your claws pinch on my shoulder, and I open my mouth to lip-sync, so it sounds like I am talking. "
Richard thought for a while, "It's okay, but what does my uncle want to say?"
"Responsiveness. The main thing is to ask them about their purpose, what requirements they have, and try to strive for the greatest benefits. The standard is to take advantage or suffer."
Richard: "...Okay, but what tone will my uncle use to speak?"
"What accent?" Zhang Zian asked puzzled.
"English also has different accents. Which accent do you want my uncle to use?"
Zhang Zian didn't think of this question, "Whatever... What accents do you two have?"
Tim and Lauren were wandering around on the first floor of the store, their eyes fell on Fina frequently, and they talked softly in English from time to time, discussing the type of golden cat.
Richard listened for a while, and said: "Although they all speak American English, the woman has a rustic Australian accent, while the man spits out a sentence or two of Texas dialect from time to time."
"Dezhou dialect?" Zhang Zian was taken aback, "The man who has been making trouble for a long time is a Shandong man?"
"You idiot in Texas!" Richard complained, "What does your Shandong man look like?"
"... I don't understand, you can figure it out." Zhang Zian waved his hand at it, handed over the matter to it, and read out the game's built-in command, "Dr. Irene Pepper's lovebird, stealth! "
Richard entered the invisible state, and Zhang Zian took it back downstairs.
"I'm sorry, you two have been waiting for a long time. I suddenly had to deal with something." Richard pinched Zhang Zian's shoulder with his paw, imitating his tone.
Zhang Zian grinned in pain, Nima didn't ask you to use so much energy! This is definitely retaliation, and I will settle accounts with you later!
He murmured in his heart, and opened his mouth to make mouth gestures.
Tim and Lauren looked at each other in astonishment. They didn't seem to notice just now. The shopkeeper actually spoke with a mellow London accent
Richard chose the Cockney accent as Zhang Zian’s pronunciation because he knew that many Americans liked it very much, and it could even be said that they were obsessed with the Cockney accent. He laughed at himself that American English was poor English, and using the Cockney accent was exactly what Zhang Zian would not pretend to be. purpose of death.
"We are the ones who need to apologize. We took up your time without making an appointment." Lauren said apologetically after watching a video of kittens dancing in your store on YouTube, she couldn't contain her excitement, but she couldn't find yours. Contact information, only to visit rashly. Before we came, we were worried about the language barrier, but your English is better than we expected... "
Richard pinched Zhang Zian with his paw, and said casually, "Gah... well, in fact, I lived in the UK for several years, during which time I obtained a doctorate in English and Applied Linguistics from Cambridge University."
Tim and Lauren: "..." Doctors from Cambridge University have come to open pet shops. The competition in China's pet industry is so fierce
Zhang Zian either lip-synced or smiled, his cheeks were sore from laughing. He can't speak well, but his hearing is not bad, he can understand a part of the conversation, and he knows that Richard is playing tricks again, pretending too much!
"The two of you have come from a long distance and made our shop flourish. Please sit down and talk." Richard pinched Zhang Zian again.
Zhang Zian understood the "sit down" in it, and raised his hand to indicate the chairs for customers to rest in the store. This is the bar high chair that Guo Dongyue brought over when he was renovating. There was only a broken four-legged steel pipe chair in the store before.
He stared wistfully at Tim's ass, praying to the gods and Buddhas not to collapse the brand new chair.
Fortunately, the chair just creaked and barely held on.
It's just that Richard seemed to have misunderstood something again, and let out a few deep titters. 8)
