Zheng Tan felt inexplicable. This old man is really...
You want to keep a dog and ask me what to do
Have you ever seen a dog asking a cat for his opinion
Zheng Tan glanced at the old man Lan and didn't intend to pay any attention. He doesn't know what kind of dog he has, and he can't answer if he knows.
However, Zheng Tan didn't intend to pay attention, but the old man Lan didn't intend to let Zheng Tan go. He stopped Zheng Tan, who was about to leave, and walked towards the small flower garden.
Zheng Tan didn't quite understand what the old man was trying to do, but he still walked over, and for the sake of the old man's recovery, he gave him some face.
At this moment, there are two people guarding the small flower garden, one guards the gate and the other guards the side gate. Although Zheng Tan always calls this "little flower garden", it is not small, and it may not be possible to guard it with only one person. The flowerbed has also been rebuilt, and the security level is several levels higher than before.
After the old man Lan walked into the small flower garden, he didn't stay for a long time. Instead, he came out on a three-wheeled electric bicycle that he transported flowers. There was some dirt in the place where the goods were towed that was not cleaned after the flowers were towed last time.
"Come on, Heitan, get in the car, let's buy a dog." Old Man Lan said to Zheng Tan who was standing beside him.
During this period of time, there were many people giving advice to old man Lan, and old man Lan never made up his mind on what dog to buy. The dog he liked, and there were no puppies at home, and he didn't want to wait a few more months to finish it early. Things are at ease, otherwise I always feel that something is hanging.
I heard that recently there are small pets near the main school gate, and there is also a puppy in another vegetable market on the other side of the old street, so the old man Lan planned to take a look. There are definitely not expensive dog breeds sold there, but Old Man Lan is not too keen on expensive dog breeds. The dog breed doesn’t matter, as long as he can guard the door. A dog who is tall and not attentive is stronger, so it is said that the dog is not expensive or big. As long as he can guard the house and prevent thieves, he will satisfy the old man Lan.
buy a dog
Zheng Tan hesitated for two seconds before jumping into the car. He still didn't understand that it was none of his business for old man Lan to buy a dog. However, it's better to follow along to watch the excitement and see what's new.
There are indeed small pets at the entrance of the school. There are many small goldfish and turtles in the spring and summer. In autumn and winter, some animals such as turtles have to hibernate. The students are not very interested in these, but the hamsters , guinea pigs, rabbits, kittens and the like are more popular.
In the past few years, Zheng Tan has seen a lot of abandoned animals in the school, not to mention stray cats. There are quite a few abandoned cats in the school. Hamsters, guinea pigs, etc., if they run out, they will be targeted by cats. When they first started raising, the students were all looking for something fresh. When the freshness passed, and they were busy, they began to think about discarding them. Sometimes when Zheng Tan goes to the artificial lake or walks to some nearby scenic lakes, he will also see all kinds of dead animals thrown into the water. There are many of these things every year, and no matter how work is done in school, it is always common.
There are students who buy it, and the vendors are naturally willing to bring "goods" to the school gate to sell. As soon as he walked along the road at the school gate, Zheng Tan could see several sellers.
Zheng Tan followed the old man Lan to a stall. There were hamster rabbits. There were four puppies in the big cage next to them. They looked like they were more than a month old and less than two months old. They were fluffy, could walk, and were in good spirits. Yes, the coat is slightly brownish-yellow with some gray.
The few sellers who passed by just now also sell dogs, but there are many students around there. The pups include Pekingese, little golden retrievers, and huskies that are not quite right. The old man Lan didn't seem to care. The pet stall in front of him was the last one on the road.
Puppies all look cute and are very attractive to students, especially female students. However, like the ones in front of them, in just another month, it is estimated that they will start to be suspicious, because their appearance of local dogs will become more and more obvious. Compared with other dog breeds such as Beijing Ba and Golden Retriever, local dogs are more and more popular. Popularity among students is really low.
However, as far as the door is concerned, Old Man Lan is still very satisfied with Tugou, otherwise he would not have stopped in front of this stall.
According to the vendor, he sold it for a friend who lives in the suburbs, and the native dog has given birth to cubs. He did not want to keep it or sell it to the dog farm to make meat dogs, so he asked him to take it out and sell it.
Old man Lan doesn't believe this. He heard yesterday that the price of meat dogs in dog farms would not be too high. Farmers can charge a large number of puppies for a few yuan to a dozen yuan. That's why some people think about bringing dogs. If you sell it to students, you can earn dozens of dollars more here.
"Why is this dog this color?" said the old man Lan, looking at the puppy in the cage.
When the stall owner saw that old man Lan was interested, he laughed and said, "Don't look at the gray now, it will be different when you grow up, it must be a big yellow dog like a bitch. Oh, forgot to mention, bitch The ears are standing, and these pups will definitely have standing ears when they grow up, and they will look energetic. Do you want to buy a dog to watch the house or just keep it for fun?"
"Watch the door." Old man Lan has no requirements for the dog's ears. It doesn't matter if it is standing or folded. The important thing is to be able to watch the door. Maybe he can't watch the door, and he can't see it now. Looking at these puppies, they always feel that they are not very reliable.
"That's right! Don't tell me, this housekeeper is still a local dog. Those famous dogs may not be able to play a role. It was mentioned in the news a while ago that someone's house was stolen. The dog also helps with moving things. I live in a house near our house, and the family also has a dog. When I bought it, I heard that it cost thousands of dollars. But that dog, tsk, someone knocked on someone else’s door His dog barks a lot, but when there is a knock on his own door, the dog doesn't squeak, what do you think!"
The vendor spoke with great enthusiasm, and the old man Lan nodded, but he did not express his opinion. What kind of dog behaves can not be generalized, no matter what kind of dog, there are always good and bad.
The vendor is still there, praising it. Different customers have different requirements, and the recommendation words he advertises are naturally different. Most of the students are looking for something cute, nurturing, and fresh, but for the elderly, they must be looking for one. Practical.
"Our dogs are all raised by the farmers themselves to guard against thieves. All of them are definitely experts. My friend's big yellow dog has also caught chicken thieves a few times!" The merchant didn't finish his sentence. A few of the chickens raised in a friend's house were bitten to death by dogs. He would never say this. If the old man also raised chickens at home, the business would not be possible once he said it. It's enough to say catching thieves, but it's better not to mention chasing chickens.
The old man Lan was a little moved. It's a good dog to catch thieves, but which one should I buy? Or buy more
I am really inexperienced with this old man Lan, so looking at the four puppies in the cage who are similar in appearance and size, the old man Lan couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he shifted his eyes and looked at the squatting car. The black cat in the cage said: "Hei Tan, you say, which one is better to buy?"
The hawker didn't pay attention just now, but now listening to the old man Lan, he stretched his neck to take a look, oh, this old man even brought a cat when he bought a dog! Where can I buy a dog and bring a cat
"Hey, old man, your cat is really good," said the small trader.
Everyone is willing to listen to good things, and the old man Lan nodded proudly, "Well, it's not from my family."
Small trader: "..." What are you squeamish about if you're not from your family
Zheng Tan ignored the trader. Old Man Lan asked him to pick a dog. How could he pick a cat, let alone a dog? These four dogs all look the same. They are all male dogs with their small ears folded. When they look at people "humming", they give people a pitiful feeling. Dogs are always particularly easy to arouse people's sympathy.
When the four pups in the cage saw Zheng Tan, they all crowded to the side of the cage facing Zheng Tan, and looked very curious about Zheng Tan's cat. Standing in front of the cage, Zheng Tan could see the appearance of the four puppies clearly.
The hawker also saw Old Man Lan's embarrassment, and said, "Actually, no dog is the same. Raising a dog is like raising a child. The education received is different, and it will definitely look different in the future. It still needs to be trained the day after tomorrow." It means that you can choose whichever one you want, just buy it back and take care of it. Let a cat pick a dog? absurd! It's better to close your eyes and pick one.
In fact, this month's pups can also see their temper. At the pet center, Zheng Tan saw Xiao Guo and the others also checked the temper of each kitten when they checked the kitten's body. Some cats were caught by you. When it is time to be obedient, some cats struggle hard, scratching and biting.
However, Zheng Tan looked at the four puppies in front of him, and their tempers seemed to be similar, neither was particularly noisy, nor was it particularly quiet. No wonder Old Man Lan had a hard time deciding.
"You can choose black charcoal with confidence, you can choose any one, and you won't blame you if you raise it in the future. That's my responsibility," said the old man Lan.
In fact, old man Lan thought that the dogs in the compound were all good. Since Zheng Tan has a good relationship with dogs, why would it not be too bad to pick a dog? It is more reliable than the layman who is only interested in plants and basic animals.
Zheng Tan didn't know what Old Man Lan was thinking. He heard Old Man Lan say that, so he raised his hand and patted the cage. There, a puppy was crowding with his three brothers. He opened his mouth and seemed to be amused.
"That's it." The old man Lan pointed to the puppy and said.
The hawker was amused. He felt that the black cat was just waving its paws at the dog in the cage, and was not picking on the dog. However, when the customer said so, he would not explain much. He happily opened the cage and pointed to the dog just now. The puppy was taken out.
"Do you think it's this one? It's just weaned, you can feed it some rice paste or something." The hawker handed the puppy to the old man Lan.
"Hei Tan, is it this one?" Old Man Lan looked at Zheng Tan, and when he saw that Zheng Tan had returned to the car, he looked at the puppy in his hand again, and he didn't see any injuries, so he asked price.
"I originally planned to sell 80 to 100 dogs, sir, you are the first to buy a dog today, give me a discount, 60." said the hawker.
"Sixty? It's bluffing? A few days ago, I heard that three-month-old dogs are only sold for fifty. Your price is too low." Old man Lan said. It's not that he thinks it's expensive, he's just telling the truth.
"Hey, that's not what the old man said, what is the price for the dog? This dog is really good, inheriting his parents' natural ability to guard the house, unlike other pampered dogs, there are many dogs in the city. I forgot how to watch the door."
In the end, the puppy was still traded for 60 yuan, but the small vendor gave it a cage. The cage is not big enough to hold two pups of this size, but the workmanship is a little worse.
Putting the cage on the car, the old man Lan said to Zheng Tan, "Hei Tan, help me to look at it, let's go to the vegetable market over there."
Zheng Tan was surprised, does this mean that he still has to buy one? I knew that I just ordered two directly.
