Chapter 397 Picking up the Plane
Thinker Novel Network
Jinmen International Airport.
Zhang Zian came to Jinmen for the first time. He has been famous for this ancient city and municipality with a long history. He had wanted to visit Jinmen for a long time, but it was a pity that he had no time to go sightseeing today, and he also had no time to taste ear-eye fried cakes and Goubuli steamed buns. , but to pick up the plane.
Assuming the flight is not delayed, the seven Abyssinian cats are expected to arrive here today.
Since there is no direct flight from the United States to Binhai City, it is necessary to transfer, the difference is only which airport the transfer is from.
Because of the freezing weather, Zhang Zian was worried about letting the seven cats wait on the tarmac for at least a few hours. If the flight was delayed due to bad weather, they might even wait for a day or two. After negotiating with Adams, he decided to transport them to Jinmen Airport, where the entry quarantine is the most relaxed, and then he will pick them up by himself.
Today is not a good time for sightseeing either. In autumn and winter, the unique smog weather in the north covers the city. Although the smog here at the airport is not too heavy, Zhang Zian learned that several flights have been delayed through the scrolling electronic notification board. He was very concerned about whether the plane carrying seven Abyssinian cats had landed successfully.
A uniformed trucking company employee walked by pushing a loaded trolley with a large wooden crate on it. The wooden box was too big, it could almost fit a hippopotamus in it, Zhang Zian didn't pay attention to this person at first, because he thought that there were only seven cats in the area, and there was no need for such a big wooden box.
"Mr. Zhang Zian?" The freight company employee pushed his cap and asked.
Zhang Zian was taken aback, "Yes."
"Please let me see the bill of lading," said the other party.
Zhang Zian took out the bill of lading and handed it to him. He kept looking at the big wooden box, wondering if Adams had shipped the wrong things. Why use such a big box?
While the other party was checking the bill of lading, Zhang Zian walked around the big wooden box a few times, and suddenly found the eye-catching logo of the United States Department of Agriculture on one side of the big wooden box, as well as the English characters of "live animals" and vertical arrows. Indicates the upright orientation of the box. Obviously, this is an air transport wooden box approved by the US Department of Agriculture. This kind of wooden box can be bought in many pet supply stores and pet shipping companies in the United States, but Zhang Zian has never seen such a huge one.
On the top of the air box was a shipping slip, which contained the phone number and address of the pet consignment company entrusted by Adams, as well as the name and phone number of the consignee, Zhang Zian. Photos of seven Abyssinian cats were also posted, lined up.
The employees of the shipping company checked Zhang Zian's bill of lading and found no problem, so they opened the large wooden box from one side.
The safety door of the large wooden box is locked with a card slot and is not locked. This is probably to allow the entourage or airline staff to open the box to let the pets escape in an emergency-of course, this also increases the risk of pet loss or loss. There are pros and cons to the risk of flight.
To be honest, Zhang Zian was cheated by domestic couriers and received an empty package. He was really worried. He was afraid that the big wooden box would be empty after opening. Even if he refused to sign for it and contacted Adams immediately, he might never get it back. Those seven Abyssinian cats...
As the security door was opened, his eyes were fixed on the inside and he held his breath.
"Meow~"
Seven chocolate-colored little guys snuggled together, and fourteen eyes looked at the direction of the light at the same time.
A stone fell to the ground in Zhang Zian's heart!
The big wooden box really has the advantages of a big wooden box, and the space inside is very ample, especially for the lively and active Abyssinian cats, it can give them enough room to move. In addition, there are fixed wooden basins in the wooden box, which contain clean water and food, and cat litter boxes - of course there is only one of each, and it is impossible to prepare a set for each cat, so it can only make do.
Perhaps due to the bumpy journey or their naughtiness, the floor of the wooden box is full of water stains, cat litter and food residues, in addition to the inevitable smell of feces and urine,
But considering they've only just crossed halfway around the world, they're in pretty good shape.
In order to prevent them from accidentally escaping, the employees of the freight company did not fully open the safety door, and stood by the door with Zhang Zian, carefully inspecting the seven cats.
"One, two, three... all seven cats survived." He counted and asked, "Sir, are you satisfied?"
Zhang Zian stretched his arms into the wooden box, dipped his fingers into the water in the basin, it was cold.
This is what he is worried about. If they spend the night at Jinmen Airport, where the outdoor temperature is colder than Binhai City, their drinking water may freeze. But it has nothing to do with the quality of service provided by the pet shipping company.
"Very satisfied." Zhang Zian said truthfully.
"Then please sign for it."
Zhang Zian signed his name on the receipt handed over by the other party.
While Zhang Zian was signing and filling in the date, the freight company employee's eyes fell on the air box he brought, and then asked suspiciously: "Uh... sir, are you going to use this?"
No wonder he was puzzled, and if Zhang Zian was in his place, he would be puzzled as well, because Zhang Zian only brought two suitcases, and it would be very cramped to pack seven cats in, and he couldn't even turn around.
"Yes." Zhang Zian didn't intend to explain further, and handed the receipt back to him, "Thank you."
Zhang Zian was the recipient of these cats, so even if he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. He took the receipt and shook his head, as if regretting the fate of these cats, probably thinking that Zhang Zian didn't cherish them.
After packing the seven cats into two flight boxes, Zhang Zian picked them up, thanked the employee again and left.
Entering the public toilet cubicle at the airport, he still used the old method to include five of them into the game, and the remaining two just occupied an air box each. Seven when entering the toilet, and two when leaving the toilet. Fortunately, there are air boxes to cover them. In the airport where people come and go, no one pays attention to these details.
Although I really want to play in Jinmen, but today is really not the right time.
He had booked a high-speed rail ticket in advance, and immediately took a taxi to the train station. It was very warm on the train, and after several hours of turbulence, we finally returned to Binhai City.
It was past nine o'clock at night when we returned to the pet shop. Lu Yiyun had been looking at the shop alone for a day. Now that he was off work, Wang Gan and Li Kun had also finished cleaning accordingly. At this time, the shop was empty.
After he entered the store, he pulled down the shutter door and locked it.
Fina smelled the scent, jumped off the cat climbing frame, and stared at the two Abyssinian cats in the air box, one of which was Wendy she had seen in the CFA arena.
Zhang Zian aimed at the open space in the store and released the other five cats one by one.
The seven cats had experienced almost a whole day of fatigue, and their spirits were a little depressed, but when they saw Fina, they immediately lay down on the ground as if they were surrendering, and they dared not move in fear.
After running around for a whole day, Zhang Zian collapsed on the recliner like mud, not wanting to move.
Ever since she found out what happened to the chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats in the CFA competition, Fina has always been aggrieved by them. Why does the majestic cat family need human recognition? Therefore, it, which has always been lazy, unexpectedly got motivated, not only supporting Zhang Zian to accept them as Cathy's inheritance, but even trying to make them show off by slapping those stupid humans in the face!
The reason why Fina is so angry is that the Abyssinian cat is very close to it in blood, second only to the modern Egyptian cat. It is not only its subordinate, but also its close relative by blood. Like Fina, they like to jump to high places. Like Fina, they have a light body and a melodious cry. Like Fina, they hate being picked up by people, unless they are very close.
"Is the music ready?" Fina turned her head and stared at Zhang Zian.
"Ready, but do you really want to do this?" Zhang Zian took out his phone, activated the music player, and opened the music library.
"My palace speaks like a mountain." It said proudly.
"Okay." Zhang Zian didn't want to pour cold water on its enthusiasm, let alone provoke it when it was angry.
He knew that Fina wanted to teach them a special dance, the complexity and gracefulness of the choreography was far higher than the previous dance, because this was a dance that Fina tailored for Abyssinian cats, and ordinary cats were You can't learn it.
The Abyssinian cat has a popular nickname called "Ballet cat", named for its graceful gait. This cat has incredible motor nerves, and its jumping ability is even comparable to that of the Asera cat, which is many times its size.
"According to the standards of your mere human beings, which of them are the most beautiful?" Although Fina was asking, her tone revealed blatant contempt and disdain.
Zhang Zian straightened up from the reclining chair, and after comprehensive consideration of appearance, gender, age and body shape, he selected the best of the seven Abyssinian cats, and selected four cats including Wendy. As for the other three cats, he plans to use them as breeding cats to breed the next generation according to the pedigree left by Cathy.
"Are you sure it's them?" Fina asked.
Zhang Zian nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start!" Fina said impatiently.
"Music!" Richard shouted, flapping his wings.
Zhang Zian clicked the "Play" button, and the piano music of "Four Little Swans" lingered in the store.
