Chapter 339: A Friend Comes From Afar
"It's really bad luck!"
Zhang Zian looked up at the sky, his egg hurting.
He checked several almanacs, and they all said that today is suitable for opening, so he excitedly prepared to reopen today. But when he got up in the morning, he opened the curtains and took a look, and immediately threw those almanacs out of the window! It happened that an old lady who collected waste newspapers pushed a cart past under the rear window, and immediately picked it up like a treasure.
Nima, it's going to snow today!
I checked a bunch of almanacs but forgot to check the weather forecast!
Opening is about a good start and a good start. If it's snowing, will there be ghosts?
Forget it, the opening was postponed, anyway, he didn't inform anyone, the opening day depends on his mood.
He always felt that the period of closure made him lazy, and when he thought of the busy days after the opening, he was a little apprehensive, so he had better hire a reliable shop assistant as soon as possible, so that he could be his shopkeeper with peace of mind.
Everything in the shop is normal, those who should play hide and seek are playing hide and seek, those who should take a nap are taking a nap, those who should drink tea drink tea, those who should be nympho are nympho, and those who should be noisy are constantly making noise, so Zhang Zian also wants to do some normal things , such as lying on a deck chair and daydreaming that the domineering Bai Fumei falls in love with me...
It's just that as soon as his butt touched the recliner, the automatic sensor door of the store opened, and a pair of customers with huge differences in size walked outside.
Zhang Zian glanced at it and was immediately stunned.
If he read correctly, these two people have high noses and deep eyes, and their faces are sharp, they are clearly two crooked nuts!
What a prophecy! It is said that ghosts came to the door, and foreign devils really came to the door!
The man on the left is unusually large, with a bald head and red face, and would have been a Dwayne Johnson double if he had been a teenager. The woman on the right is relatively petite, with a fair face and curly blond hair. Although she is old, it can be seen that she must have been a beauty when she was young-the point is not that!
Zhang Zian's first reaction when he saw them immediately came to mind those plots from old-fashioned novels. For example, these two are actually famous lawyers. A relative who had never met passed away, leaving behind a European-style castle by the sea and hundreds of millions of pounds in cash. Since this unlucky ghost has no immediate family members, Zhang Zian will inherit this huge inheritance. From then on, he will transform himself into a rich and handsome man, with beautiful women all over the world, and reach the pinnacle of his life...
It's a pity that after taking a second glance, he dismissed this unrealistic idea,
No matter how you look at them, these two don't look like famous lawyers, especially the big man on the left, he believes that they are sent by a debt collection company!
Also, why are they pulling two such big suitcases? Zhang Zian swallowed nervously, the bloody plots in the European and American horror movies he had watched before suddenly came one after another!
Are they going to chop me up and put me in a suitcase? And feed it to the dog? Mr. Cha, you can't just sit idly by. Although I have learned Wing Chun for a few days, if I fight against this big guy, I will definitely be tortured!
He looked at Lao Cha as if asking for help, but Lao Cha was just sipping tea and watching TV leisurely, he had no intention at all!
Lauren patted a few grains of snow off her head and shoulders, then tiptoed to help her husband pat off his shoulders. She looked around the room, and since she had watched the video repeatedly, she already knew the furnishings and layout of the store by heart, but Fina on the cat climbing frame still caught her attention. There is no way, Fina's aura is too strong.
She nudged her husband quietly and said in a low voice, "Honey, look at that golden cat on the shelf."
After Tim came in, his eyes fell on the group of playful kittens. They ran freely and played happily in the room like the wind. Then, he noticed the cat litter boxes lined up by the wall. He quickly counted in his mind, the number of litter boxes = the number of kittens + 1, and the same is true for food and water basins.
It made a good first impression on him. He is a professional and doesn't like to deal with laymen. Although he doesn't know the level of this shopkeeper, he seems to be at least much better than that idiot Allen at home...
Reminded by his wife, he raised his eyes to the top of the cat climbing frame, saw the golden cat that his wife said, and met Fina's eyes.
Fina usually ignored customers, but as soon as these two people entered the door, it smelled the scent they carried, and when it opened its eyes, it saw their appearance, which was very different from the oriental people, which gave it a sense of intimacy. Since it appeared in this ancient country, it has seen the facial features of oriental people every day. It suddenly saw two Westerners with high noses and deep eyes, which made its eyes a little blurred for a while, as if it had returned to a long time ago.
Lauren is not in charge of the daily operations of Peak Blue, and her ability to identify cat breeds is slightly inferior to that of her husband, while Tim often takes his own cats to participate in the CFA Tournament, and has seen many breeds of cats on the field.
Ordinary cats, Tim can recognize the species at a glance, but he stared at this golden cat for a few seconds before cautiously saying to his wife: "It seems to be an Egyptian cat, but I'm not sure..."
Lauren held his hand and motioned to leave the question alone, because a young Chinese man was walking towards them, the shop owner in the video.
"Mud Howl!"
The only Chinese word she can speak blurted out. She learned this word from soap operas, and she has been looking forward to the day when it will come in handy, and today she finally got her wish...
Zhang Zian deliberately walked slowly, thinking about the reason for the two people's visit while walking. If you exclude the curious setting of estate lawyers and debt collectors, and judge with normal thinking, they should be travelers who came to China for tourism, so they pulled two suitcases. But what do travelers come to pet stores for? Buying a pet to take away? And looking at their exhausted and exhausted looks, they probably came straight here after getting off the plane, and they didn't even have time to store their luggage at the hotel.
Could it be...they came to ask for directions?
He looked at the leaden gray sky outside the door, there was no wind, and small snowflakes drifted silently, and the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost in a short while.
Maybe it was to avoid the snow. If this is the case, let them rest enough before leaving to experience the hospitality of the Chinese people.
Zhang Zian thought so, but heard Fei Na say lazily: "They have the smell of cat clan, there are many of them."
After speaking, Fina closed her eyes and continued to doze off. Snowy days, sleepy days, although I usually sleep a lot.
Fina's voice was just meowing to Lauren and Tim's ears.
Zhang Zian's footsteps paused.
If he remembered correctly, he had heard Fina's words once. At that time, a female colleague who ran a cattery came to spy on him, and Fina smelled her.
It seemed that it was no coincidence that these two came to the store. If there is no accident, they are also his colleagues, but they don't know whether they run a cattery or a pet shop, and they don't know their purpose. If it is to spy on the military, it is too far to spy...
The strange "mud howl" of the blond lady almost made him burst out laughing. He recalled the voice and smile of his middle school and high school English teachers lying in the coffin, cleared his throat and said in English, "Hello, what can I do?" help you?"
Lauren and Tim looked at each other in surprise. The owner's English was pure and proficient beyond their expectations. It seemed that the previous worries were unnecessary, and normal communication was no longer a problem.
"Hi, I'm Lauren Keller and this is my husband Tim. Nice to meet you! We own a cattery near Los Angeles and are professional breeders. After we saw the video on Youtube, Fascinated by the magic kitten that can dance, I came here to visit you."
Lauren held out her hand warmly to him. Knowing that her husband's body shape is likely to cause fear and misunderstanding, she took the initiative to introduce herself.
Zhang Zian was dumbfounded!
She really overestimated his English level, speaking too fast, and seemed to have some accents, using some local slang, and he hadn't spoken English for many years, so he could only vaguely hear her name as Lauren, Her husband's name is Tim.
In desperation, he turned back and shouted upstairs: "Richard, come down to pick up the guests!"
