Regarding this cat who feels good about fried chicken, Zhang Zian said helplessly: "Didn't I say it, it's different now, if you want something now, you have to spend money to buy it...or use violence to grab it, but in the end You have such an honorable status, of course it's not easy to grab it, so I can only buy it." In the end, he flattered her a little.
Lucky Cat smiled frankly at the flattery, "You are right, what status is this palace, how can you go out and snatch things from mortals? Then you go and buy them."
How can you rob me of mortal things... I don't know who bumped me into a big somersault yesterday just to grab the diamond ring! He complained in his heart.
"But I have no money, I can't afford it," he repeated.
"Money? You mean gold?" it asked, tilting its head.
"No...Of course gold is also counted, but what is in circulation now is renminbi." Zhang Zian explained.
"RMB?" It thought for a while, "Is that the kind of pink paperaa?"
Zhang Zian didn't hear clearly, what the hell is paperaa? Maybe it's because he is a scumbag in English...
He took out his wallet, took out the only one hundred yuan bill in it, and put it on the chair where the lucky cat was.
"This is the renminbi. Almost everything in the world can be bought with it, it's just a question of how much."
It fiddled with the hundred-dollar bill with its paws, picked it up, turned it over, and examined the back of the bill.
"It turns out that money in this era looks like this... well, RMB is a good thing." It looked at the head portrait on the banknote and asked, "Who is this person?"
"Great Founding Leader," he replied.
"Well, this custom has not changed for thousands of years." It accepted it knowingly.
Seeing it fiddle with the banknote repeatedly, Zhang Zian was really worried that its claws were too sharp and the banknote would not be able to be spent, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to withdraw the banknote.
The lucky cat holds the banknote with its paws and does not let go.
Zhang Zian: "..."
He stepped up.
It also increased its strength, and stared at him coldly.
Zhang Zian: "..."
If he tried harder, the banknote would be torn in half, so he had to let go.
"It's my money." He pointed to the fact.
"All the money and treasures in the world belong to this palace," it said.
"I still think that all the beauties in the world are mine!" Zhang Zian said imitating its tone.
"Just a mere mortal, don't be too whimsical!" It said contemptuously, as if saying-wake up! The foreman told you to go back and move the bricks...
Zhang Zian felt bitter, it was fine to be despised by others, but he was reduced to the point of being despised by cats.
"Don't you like shiny things? I have to have money to buy a shiny diamond ring. For such a banknote, the last time the diamond ring cost about 40 pieces, even the cheapest diamond ring would cost more than a dozen pieces." ."He said.
It tilted its head and thought for a while, "Then why don't you hurry up and buy it!"
Zhang Zian emphasized for the third time: "I said, I don't have enough money."
"How can I be rich?" It looked down at him. Because he bent over to pull money, the position of high and low has changed at this time.
Zhang Zian turned around and pointed to the pet display area.
"I sell pets, and I have to sell them to make money."
"Does that mean you are a slave trader?" It got a little impatient. Cats are inherently impatient animals.
"No... I'm not that high-end, I'm a pet dealer at most." Zhang Zian felt that it was tiring to explain, "These cats and dogs will be bought home by people who like them."
Lucky Cat's ears perked up, and it became very serious, "What do you do when you buy it home? Mouse hunting? Or patrolling?"
"No." Zhang Zian waved his hand, "there are very few rats in the city now, and they are not needed for patrolling. They don't need to do anything, they just need to enjoy life with peace of mind. People buy them back to keep them company, for entertainment Loneliness. My job is to find suitable owners for them so that they can live their lives safely and happily."
Hearing the words, he was thoughtful, and said to himself: "It seems that this era is not useless..."
Zhang Zian smiled wryly, "That's right, this is the best era for cats and dogs. When people buy them home, they will take care of them like their masters, play with them, feed them, ask for their health, and will not hesitate to get sick A lot of money is paid to treat them, and people will be heartbroken when they die, and they will never forget them for a long time."
It squinted at him, "Rare is more strange! This era sounds good, but if it is the best era, it is a bit arrogant!"
It used its paws to push the hundred-yuan bill to the ground, "For the sake of your hard work for the cat family, this money will be rewarded to you."
I rely on! This money is mine, right
Zhang Zian didn't have time to complain, he quickly picked up the money and stuffed it back into his wallet, holding the wallet tightly in his arms, like a primary school student being blackmailed by street bullies.
"That is to say, every time you sell a cat, you can not only get money, but also make their lives better?" it asked.
"Yes, it's called 'win-win' in modern society."
"That's great, but why is no one coming to buy it?" It scanned the store.
Zhang Zian shrugged, and said helplessly: "Because my store has just opened, it is small in scale, with few pets and no reputation, so naturally there are fewer customers."
"Why don't you recruit more cats?" it asked again.
"Because I'm the only one in this shop, and I can't do it alone." Zhang Zian explained, "Take bathing for example. It's very troublesome to bathe your cat family. These few cats are already my limit."
In fact, cats are not afraid of water, just because cat hair is not waterproof, they hate the feeling of wet fur, at least seven out of ten cats hate bathing. Bathing a cat is tantamount to an epic task. Anyone who has owned a cat can more or less understand it.
Fortunately, cats do not need to be bathed every day. For quieter and well-behaved short-haired cats, such as British short-haired cats, it is enough to wash them once a year. If the hair is occasionally dirty, they will lick it clean by themselves. If it is a long-haired cat, it will be troublesome, and if it is a lively long-haired cat, it will be even more troublesome. They are not plush toys, tossed in the washing machine and done, they must be served with care.
Zhang Zian chose only kittens, because kittens eat less and stretch less, so they are easy to clean, and it is easier to take a bath. An adult cat who hates bathing so much goes crazy that at least two people can wash it, and risk losing both sides.
Many pet shops provide customers with pet bathing services, and the main business targets are adult cats who are extremely disgusted with bathing—the owners have given up treatment for them and have to send them to pet shops for washing.
Although Qiyuan Pet Store has a single room for pet bathing, it has never launched this business to the outside world. The reason is that there is not enough manpower. Both the former parents and the current Zhang Zian have lingering fears about this business. After careful consideration, they feel that Starting this business is really not worth the effort.
Hearing the words, the Lucky Cat couldn't help but prick up its ears like antennae, "The cat clan in this era doesn't like to take a bath?"
It appears very serious and interested.
