Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Eight

"I remembered, your surname is Deng, right? Welcome!"

All the people who enter the store are customers. Regardless of whether Deng Jie bought a pet or not, her appearance at that time was a long drought and a rainy day for the sparsely populated pet shop. Zhang Zian greeted her with much higher enthusiasm than usual.

He winked at Wang Gan and Li Kun, who were stunned aside, and they came back, Wang Gan brought a chair, Li Kun brought a rag to wipe the surface of the chair, and asked Deng Jie to sit down and talk.

Deng Jie declined several times, but still sat down a little cautiously.

Zhang Zian exchanged pleasantries with her, "It's pretty cold outside today, isn't it?"

"That's right, I've been fed the northwest wind!" Deng Jie responded. When she talked about these trivial matters, she relaxed a little, and stared straight at the gray parrot on Zhang Zian's shoulder.

It was the first time for Xiaoxue to see such a big parrot, afraid that it would peck or scratch her, so she shrank back. As she had been holding up her phone to shoot, Richard landed on her outstretched hand and stared curiously at the live broadcast interface on the screen.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also very worried that the gray parrot named Richard would hurt Xiaoxue, but after waiting for a while, they found that it did not act excessively, and their worries turned into curiosity.

The same goes for Xiaoxue, who pointed her phone camera at Richard to get a close-up shot of him.

Only a small number of bird lovers in the live broadcast room can recognize that this is an African gray parrot, and introduce some of its habits to other onlookers.

Seeing that Richard and Xiaoxue were safe and sound, Zhang Zian ended the greetings and turned to the topic and asked, "Ms. Deng, what's the matter with you coming here in the cold weather?"

When Deng Jie was exchanging greetings, she kept looking up, down, left, and right at the newly renovated pet shop, which was completely different from the last time she came. In her impression, the store used to be dark and old, but it gave her a sense of peace of mind, because it meant that the things sold in the store could not be very expensive or high-end. Deng Jie never went to those magnificent high-end shopping malls, no matter how many times she passed by, she would never go in. It was beyond her psychological and financial ability to bear it.

If the decoration style of Qiyuan Pet Store was as exquisite as it is now, she might turn around and leave.

In addition, when she came last time, there were only a few cats and dogs in the store, which could be counted with one slap, and they were all locked in display cabinets. Now the number of pets is more than ten times that of that time , the kittens are still chasing and playing around the room, which seems to be lovable. From this point, she could guess that Zhang Zian's business was getting better and better, and she couldn't help but regret her original decision even more.

Hearing Zhang Zian's inquiry, she sighed and said, "Oh! To tell you the truth, I was cheated. If I knew it was more expensive, I would have bought it from you."

"Oh? What's going on? Tell me in detail." Zhang Zian asked calmly.

Deng Jie's description was very orderly, and she should have prepared in advance before coming here. She said: "After I left you, I went to a few stores, but I still couldn't make up my mind. Like the cats and dogs in your store, the spirit Lively, but the price is expensive. Some other stores have cheaper prices, but the pets look a little listless. The clerk explained that they have just been delivered and have not yet adapted to the environment. After a few days, they will have fun... I I don’t understand, but I don’t dare to believe it, so I want to wait and see more before making a decision.”

Zhang Zian knew that she was a price-sensitive consumer, so it was normal for her to shop around, but she might have compared more than three...

"I asked my colleagues and neighbors who gave birth to kittens and puppies recently. Unfortunately, after asking around, it was either booked out a long time ago, or the behavior was outrageous..." She seemed to be thinking about it. As if defending himself, he added eagerly: "I want to raise it well, and I don't want to raise one at random."

Zhang Zian nodded to show that he understood, and did not comment. He understood that she wanted a purebred cat and dog, which Chuan Chuan didn't like, but she didn't want to spend more money. In fact, this is a very common psychology, cheap and good, but how can there be so many things that fall from the sky in this world? Even if the pie falls, it may not hit you,

And it may be an expired pie, eating it will cause stomach upset...

He can guess the general follow-up direction, she must be greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses.

Sure enough, Deng Jie continued to recall: "Later, I heard someone suggest that if you want to buy a pet, you can go to the dog market. The pets there are relatively cheap and good-looking. They are all domestic pets that breed and bring their cubs. It’s sold out, and the price is very high…”

"Wait a minute." Zhang Zian interrupted her. He thought for a while and asked, "The dog market? Do you mean the dog market in Nancheng District?"

He had heard from Guo Dongyue and Sun Xiaomeng before that there was a large dog market in Nancheng District, which was the main distribution center for scattered pets in Binhai City. Guo Dongyue also went there to buy parrots, but unfortunately there was no red-faced parrot he wanted there. Hearing Deng Jie mention the dog market again at this time, aroused Zhang Zian's interest.

"That's right, it's the one in the south." Deng Jie nodded for confirmation, "Binhai City is just such a dog market."

"Oh, please go ahead."

Deng Jie went on to say: "After I heard it, I discussed it with my husband. My husband meant not to go there. There are many scammers there. If you want to buy it, you can buy it with more money. But I..." She sighed again, "But I still went to the dog market, and ended up getting screwed there!"

On the other hand, Richard's obscene poems caused wave after wave in the live broadcast room, making the male driver and some female drivers flinch, but Xiaoxue suffered so much that she blushed when she heard it. The strong demand of the female audience waved Richard away.

Richard yelled in displeasure, "If you don't stay here, you will have a place to stay here", and flew back to Zhang Zian's shoulder again, not forgetting to turn around and taunt the camera: "There is no one who can fight! "

Its performance in front of the audience is amazing, but it is not out of line. Its words are all combinations of poems, without showing the ability of logical dialogue. The audience will feel envious, but they will not doubt anything.

When Xiaoxue heard Deng Jie talk about the dog market, she approached curiously, held up her mobile phone to listen and take pictures. She is very active by nature and is very familiar with this city. Of course, she has heard of the dog market and knows that pets are sold there, but she has never been there.

Zhang Zian asked again: "How did you get tricked in the dog market? Did you encounter something shoddy?"

"Post-off?" Deng Jie smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was an undisguised bitterness in her smile, "I'd rather pass off as good, then I'll admit it, and take it as a lesson! The problem is . . . Oh! It's too much to say!"

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turned white from too much force, sparks of anger burst out from her pupils, as if she wanted to pounce on someone and bite someone.

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Zhang Zian said in a calm tone.

He now knew that Deng Jie was cheated by buying pets in the dog market, and he was cheated miserably.

In fact, if the statistics are combined, online transactions and offline transactions add up, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of pet buyers in China who are cheated every year, involving hundreds of millions of yuan, all of which have paid IQ taxes. Especially on a super large city website, five out of ten pet sellers are scammers, and four are intermediaries for scammers. Deng Jie was just one of the deceived, but no one could maintain peace of mind when it was its turn.

Deng Jie took a few deep breaths, and waited for the turbulent mood to calm down a little, then continued: "Actually, I was on guard at the beginning, with the intention of only looking at it but not buying it. After shopping for a while, I thought it was getting late. I was about to go home and cook, but I saw a stall that was very popular, surrounded by many people, so I couldn’t help but go to have a look. The stall owner bought a Japanese Shiba Inu, and there were six yellow puppies locked in a cage. , very cute, I thought it was very expensive, but he said that it was born in one litter of his own Shiba Inu, he had no money, and couldn’t keep so many, so he brought it out and sold it, and it only sold for 3,000 yuan each!”

Zhang Zian laughed dumbly and said, "Can you buy a Japanese Shiba Inu for 3,000 yuan? You have been cheated! Let me tell you, do you know why Shiba Inu is so expensive? Because rare is the most expensive thing! This kind of dog The reproductive ability of the dog is low, and the purebred Shiba Inu normally does not have more than three puppies in one litter. If you heard him say that six puppies were born in one litter, it is basically not a Shiba Inu, at least not a purebred Shiba Inu!"
