Chapter 1642: Old Partner

in a few days.

The news of Zhang Zian's return has already spread among familiar circles, and some old customers like Zhao Qi have brought relatives and friends who want to buy cats and dogs, and although there are many fewer fans of Fei Masi than the movie's hot release period , but as "War Dogs" was released on online platforms after the exclusive period of theaters, many new fans traveled thousands of miles to the store to take photos with it, and the popularity of the pet store was as cold as the weather.

However, even if there is a temporary autumn tiger, the solar terms are destined to not be as hot as summer.

The turn of summer and autumn is the peak season for coastal typhoons. Before he went to the United States, he was worried whether the typhoon would make landfall from Binhai City. Fortunately, the previous typhoon finally diverted.

Typhoons may cause water and power outages. Pet shops are okay. After water and power outages, they will smell a little bit worse. But once the aquarium’s water is cut off, if no preparations are made in advance, those marine organisms that rely on low-temperature environments will suffer.

Now every night he squats in front of the TV on time and watches the weather forecast with Lao Cha.

Last night, he was holding a large bowl of cold noodles in his mouth while watching the weather forecast, and sure enough, he saw the dignified host pull the map screen to the South China Sea, saying that a tropical low-pressure cloud was moving northeast .

He experienced a miraculous hailstorm in the mahogany forest. After he came back, he described the scene to others, saying that hailstones as big as chairs were smashing down, and others didn’t believe what he said, thinking that he was fooling again. It's a pity that he forgot to record the video at the time, and his empty words were unsubstantiated. If he heard people say that, he probably wouldn't believe it.

After experiencing this incident, he became afraid of extreme weather. He planned to strengthen the doors and windows and re-waterproof the roof before the typhoon actually arrived. After all, it is an old house.

After lunch, he had nothing to do, so he went outside to think about it, thinking about how to do it better.

Today is cloudy, not too hot, and the wind force is about three or four. It is a good weather for going out, as long as it does not rain.

"Brother Zhang, how about meeting the house?"

A voice as thick as a bell suddenly sounded from behind.

Zhang Zian looked back, and saw two energetic middle-aged and elderly people standing on the side of the road with their feet supporting their bicycles. One was riding an electric bicycle and the other was riding an ordinary bicycle. Electrician Wu, it was the former who greeted him. He was not tall and had a small voice. He thought he was a burly man just by hearing his voice.

"Hi Xiao Zhang! Long time no see." Electrician Wu also waved to him.

"Hey, so it's Master Zhao and Master Wu! Would you like to come in and sit down? The air conditioner is on in the shop, so it's cool." Zhang Zian invited politely.

The last time I saw the two of them was at the end of spring and early summer. At that time, Zhao Welder, who had just recovered his life from the toxins of rock sand sea anemones, went from the aquarium that was seized by the industry and commerce for selling poisonous sea anemones. A batch of low-priced aquariums were dumped in the store, but the dangerous blue bream was mixed into those few fishes. Zhang Zian only discovered it when he brought Vladimir to the door at the invitation of Electrician Wu.

In fact, that aquarium store is also quite wronged, because the purchase process of the aquarium store is different from that of the pet store. Most of the time, it is purchased by the catty or by the box, especially those common aquarium creatures. It's all how much a catty, and if you don't have time to carefully check each small fish and shrimp, it is inevitable that some smugglers will get mixed in.

Zhang Zian's aquarium doesn't have such concerns. The aquatic creatures in his store are all picked up from the sea by himself. He doesn't take the quantity, rather than the shortage, at least he knows what he is selling.

Electrician Wu and Welder Zhao have always been Jiaobulimeng and Mengbukejiao. They used to be colleagues for many years, and they often went out together after retirement. I heard that they came to Zhang Zian’s aquarium a few times later. It just happened that Zhang Zian was out of town or abroad. , so did not meet. They're fine anyway, just hanging out, checking out the new curiosities at the aquarium, commenting on them and bragging to other old friends.

"No, no, we were passing by and saw Xiao Zhang, you were in a daze,

Just to say hello to you, I won't go in and disturb you. "Wu Electrician laughed.

Zhang Zian noticed that the two of them were carrying a long storage bag on their backs, judging from the shape, it seemed to be golf clubs or other sporting goods. Of course, with Welder Zhao's stinginess, it is definitely impossible to spend a lot of money playing golf. It is an aristocratic sport for the rich and powerful.

Welder Zhao pulled his face away, and said displeasedly: "What is interrupting? Brother Zhang and we are not outsiders. Can we call it interrupting our life-long friendship? Maybe I will introduce a wife to Brother Zhang in the future!"

"You can pull it down! This can be called a life-threatening friendship? You don't want to be ashamed!" Wu Electrician shook his head helplessly at Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian was also aware of Welder Zhao's temperament, he was careless, he was especially good at bragging, he was unambiguous in all kinds of things, and he had to discount everything he said. In fact, people with this kind of temper are very easy to get along with. They put everything on the bright side and don't play tricks.

These two old partners never give in to each other. They seem to be blowing their beards and staring at any time, but they don't take it to heart. They are all joking, but passers-by who don't know the truth are looking sideways.

"Where are you two going for a stroll?" Zhang Zian interjected to interrupt them, so that passers-by would not think it was really two old men arguing, and it would be a big misunderstanding if they recorded a video and posted it on the Internet.

Welder Zhao patted the long storage bag behind him with his backhand, and hurriedly replied: "The weather is good today, and I invited some old guys to go fishing together!"

"Oh!"

Only then did Zhang Zian understand that they were carrying fishing rods, but fishing rods alone are not enough for sea fishing, and Jiang Taigong is not fishing with a straight hook, at least he must have bait. Seeing that they are empty-handed, do they dig earthworms when they go to the beach? ? This is also uncertain, because Zhao Welder is stingy and can do anything.

Welder Zhao guessed what he was going to ask, and immediately added: "My old guys have cars, which are convenient for pulling goods. They said that it is enough for the two of us to bring the poles, and they will prepare other things."

Electrician Wu followed up and said: "Xiao Zhang, don't mention it, everyone knows what old Zhao is. It's lucky that he is willing to buy the fishing rod by himself. They also specifically told him the model of the fishing rod and asked him to buy it from the fishing gear. You can buy it in a store or online, don’t take a piece of wood and sharpen it yourself..."

Even though Zhao Welder has a thick skin, he couldn't hold back when he heard this, "Fart! Who do you think I am, Mr. Zhao? It's really a waste of our friendship for so many years! Break off friendship! Let's break off friendship from now on!"

Based on what Zhang Zian knew about Welder Zhao, he really was this kind of person.
