Chapter 240 Refusal to Enter
Zhang Zian was startled by the flock of birds flying by suddenly, and almost imitated Xinghai to crouch with his head in his arms, but after realizing that it was a false alarm, he was a little embarrassed, so he pretended to scratch his head and looked at the employee in front of him.
The employee was wearing a light blue uniform, a light blue peaked cap, disposable plastic shoe covers on his shoes, and a plastic-sealed work permit on his chest. A professional-looking anti-smog mask hung on one ear, and he took off the mask to talk to Zhang Zian. He was quite young, one or two years younger than Zhang Zian, probably because he had just graduated from university, so he felt immature.
There was a lot of bird droppings on his plastic shoe covers. Realizing this, Zhang Zian realized that the ventilation in this large aviary was quite good, at least there was no obvious smell of bird droppings. Thinking about it, the number of birds here is probably at least a few thousand. According to the information provided by Sun Xiaomeng, if the ventilation here is not up to standard, the concentration of PM2.5 will soon reach the point where it is not suitable for human survival.
"We are here to buy parrots, peony parrots, do you have them here?" Zhang Zian asked.
Only then did the staff look away from Fina and Snow Lion, nodded and said: "Yes, there are, but there are many kinds of peony parrots, which one do you want?"
Which one do you want... Zhang Zian and Guo Dongyue looked at each other, neither of them could make up their minds. The parrot that Guo Dongyue's mother raised before did not leave any photos, only that it was a peony parrot, but it was not sure which species it was. It was also the first time Zhang Zian knew that peony parrots were divided into many types. Before, he thought that peony parrots were like British shorthair cats, and there were only a very limited number of them. But according to this employee, it seems that there are more than that?
"How many kinds of peony parrots do you have here?" Zhang Zian asked tentatively.
The employee replied vaguely, "There are probably hundreds of species in terms of feather color."
What the hell!
Zhang Zian's head was covered with black lines!
There are hundreds of species of peony parrots, but it takes a lot of work.
He thought that a dozen or so species would be enough, but he didn't expect there to be hundreds of species... It seems that he still underestimated this birdhouse.
From the changes in their expressions, the employee guessed that they were not bird enthusiasts, but just newbies. Fengming Aviary is a very professional aviary. Due to the limited manpower, it is basically only open to bird enthusiasts. There is no time to provide popular science education to novices who keep birds. What's more, even if they spend time and effort on education, these novices may not necessarily pay for it. purchase.
"Both, we have a lot of birds here, why don't you think about it before making a decision?" He said tactfully.
Zhang Zian saw what he meant,
Of course, we can't just give up like this, otherwise, wouldn't the ride fare just now be wasted... Even though it was paid by Guo Dongyue.
"Can we take a casual look?" Zhang Zian asked.
A very troublesome look flashed across the employee's face, and he reluctantly nodded and said, "It's possible, but we don't have many people, so we can't accompany you."
"It's okay, we don't need to accompany you."
"Okay." The employee sighed, took out four new disposable plastic shoe covers from his uniform pocket, and handed them to them, "You put these on your shoes, or you will inevitably step on bird droppings. "
"Thank you." Zhang Zian and Guo Dongyue took the shoe covers. This shoe cover should also be custom-made, that is, a shoe-boot-shaped thin plastic bag with a rubber band clip to fix it at the ankle, and the logo of Fengming Birdhouse is printed on the side of the shoe cover.
"Besides, your two cats can't be brought in." The employee pointed at Fina and Snow Lion, "What if our bird is eaten?"
His worries were not without reason. Cats are known to be the most feared killers of birds and small rodents in the city. They can climb walls and trees with great agility.
"Don't worry, my cat doesn't eat raw meat, let alone birds," Zhang Zian assured.
"That's not okay, the birds here are very expensive." The employee insisted on not agreeing.
Fina ignored the employee at all, and stared curiously at the various birds flying in the sky under the glass dome, while the snow lion swayed around it attentively, grinning at the birds that flew too close, Pushing away—it was the snow lion's actions that made the employees worry.
Zhang Zian knew that bringing Fei Na and the others would be troublesome, but it was impossible for him to agree to keep them outside.
Guo Dongyue, who had been silent since he came in, said, "Can you invite your boss over?"
"Sorry, the boss is visiting." The employee politely refused.
This remark is very common, and Zhang Zian couldn't tell from the expression on his face whether it was the truth or just an excuse.
"I run a pet shop. Speaking of which, we are also in the same business, so please help me accommodate." Zhang Zian made friends with him.
The words "pet shop" didn't have any effect, and the employee issued an order to evict customers: "I'm sorry, the boss is really visiting customers. If you two don't want to leave the cat outside, please do it yourself."
Fina was very upset, it didn't want to be insulted like this, if it hadn't promised not to mess around at home, it would have caught a few birds for him to see at this time. It stared at the young employee with green eyes and a hostile gaze. Feeling Fina's bad mood, the snow lion immediately meowed, puffed up its fur, and showed its fangs viciously. As long as Fina gave an order, it would rush up and scratch his face a few times. Down.
Although this employee had never raised a cat, anyone who was not blind could tell that the two cats were losing their temper, and he couldn't help but took two steps back, his face pale with panic. He didn't understand why the two cats suddenly put on an attacking posture. Could they understand what he said?
Zhang Zian wasn't worried that Fina would be impulsive, but it was hard for Snow Lion. He walked between Snow Lion and the employee to separate them.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
At this time, two people flashed out from behind the aisle of the flower stand, and among them, a tall middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over first.
The employee looked back, as if seeing a savior, "Mr. Lu, these two people want to come to visit, I asked them to keep the cat outside, but they refused to agree...No, this cat looks at Duo Ye, I am worried that they will hurt our birds."
Lu Mingyi nodded, and smiled at him encouragingly, expressing that he understood.
"Are you the manager or the boss here?" Guo Dongyue asked straight to the point.
Lu Mingyi glanced at Fei Na and Xue Shizi, and said, "I am the boss here, Lu Mingyi, may I ask..."
Before he finished speaking, another voice exclaimed behind him: "Is this the original Egyptian cat?"
Zhang Zian turned his head to look over, and saw Lu Mingyi followed by a short and thin middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. It was Professor Wei Kang whom he met when he was catching the Xieyu bird at Binhai University.
