Chapter 597: Imperial Dining Room

Thinker Novel Network

π's mental state changed from sluggish to full of energy, and he kept refreshing the background with a smirk, watching the number of collections rise like a rocket. Although Zhang Zian was also very happy for it, he still reminded it not to refresh the backstage all the time, and start writing today's new chapter, finish it earlier, and go to bed earlier at night instead of staying up all night.

It nodded in agreement. After switching to the Word document, it wrote a few words, but couldn't help refreshing the background, writing a few more, and then swiping again...

Seeing its appearance, Zhang Zian couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, just like when he first got his salary, he couldn't help but check over and over again how much money was in the card and how to spend it.

He didn't dissuade it anymore, just wait until it gets used to it, this is the so-called wandering mind.

The phone rang, and Lu Yiyun told him to go down for a visit. An acquaintance came to visit.

He glanced down from the window on the second floor, and the BMW parked downstairs was Liu Sanlang's BMW.

"π, I'll go out first, and I'll be back in a while." He greeted π, and led Xiaola downstairs from the storage room.

"Shop Manager Zhang, how is Xiaola?" Liu Sanlang asked as soon as he saw him. It was Zhang Zian who called him over and said that Xiao La had already trained.

Zhang Zian signaled Xiaola to sit down, "It should be almost done, you can take it back, but you can't pamper it after you go back, otherwise it will soon change back to how it was before... just like the old saying— —It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.”

"This... is this Xiaola? Is it really not another dog?"

Liu Sanlang couldn't believe his eyes at the obedient little girl in front of him. Is this still his little devil who demolished the house?

Xiaola squatted on the ground with her tongue out, neither screaming nor running around. Although its eyes showed that it had recognized its owner, it didn't jump on him happily as usual to lick left and right. If it wasn't for the collar that Shishi bought for it, he couldn't be sure if it was Xiaola.

"Shop Manager Zhang, how did you train? It's amazing!" Liu Sanlang rubbed the top of Xiaola's head, and he narrowed his eyes enjoying himself, but he didn't bark loudly with joy as usual.

"Actually, the secret to dog training is very simple - order and prohibition, clear rewards and punishments, as long as these eight words are achieved, anyone can train a dog well, even if it can't be like a police dog, at least it won't cause trouble to others and harm." Zhang Zian did not hide it, but he also knew that it was easier said than done, people who like dogs and have no experience in dog training can easily lose their resistance in front of puppies wagging their tails and begging for food, and unknowingly obey human taming. Dogs become dogs and tame people.

Liu Sanlang kept every word Zhang Zian said firmly in his heart. No matter what Shishi said after going back this time, he must stop coddling Xiaola, otherwise he would not be able to bear the neighbor's protests. If an old man or a child falls down, he may have to face a lawsuit.

He asked Zhang Zian for a tutorial on dog training for beginners. He didn't know where he had thrown the previous copy. Then he paid the dog training fee as promised, and took Xiao La away.

"Shop Manager Zhang, our place is almost finished, come and take a look."

Liu Sanlang walked forward, and then someone knocked on the door. He was the person in charge of the construction team responsible for the decoration of the shoe store.

The decoration team is busy from morning to night every day. The workers want to make the last business before the Spring Festival beautiful, and then get paid to go home to celebrate the New Year. Both the construction progress and the quality are impeccable.

Zhang Zian followed him into the shoe store next door—it should be a branch of the pet store now.

The first floor of the shoe store is very empty, with nothing in it. The brand new and bright tiles, beige latex paint walls and brown baseboards look clean and bright, and the lighting is also good. He didn't think about what to do with the first floor for the time being, but he ordered the decoration workers to reserve more sockets on the wall in case of emergency. Now that there are more and more electrical appliances, there are too few sockets reserved for pet shops in the past, and they are often stretched.

There are mop boards everywhere, which is not good-looking.

He followed the person in charge to the second floor. The second floor of the shoe store used to be a residential area like a pet store, but it has been re-divided into smaller compartments according to his requirements, and special sound insulation materials and insect-proof measures have been added to make Ah Bissinian cats have a dark and quiet delivery environment. The interior doors are custom-made, and wide-angle glass windows are installed on each door, allowing people to stand outside the door without entering the house to see the indoor situation clearly, so as not to be frightened when the female cat gives birth.

In addition to the delivery room and nursery room on the second floor, he didn't know what to do with half of the rooms, maybe as a warehouse.

After checking it carefully, he was very satisfied with the construction quality and could not find any faults. It is worthy of the team introduced by Guo Dongyue.

The only thing that worries him is the environmental protection of the decoration materials, because he will move in almost immediately after the decoration is completed, and there is no time to ventilate and dry the smell. Regarding this point, the person in charge patted his chest to assure that there is no problem, and will issue a test report from the relevant department before handing over the work. Harmful gases such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and benzene will never exceed the standard. If you have doubts about the test report, you can also ask a third party to test it yourself. Institutional re-inspection, free rework if there is a problem.

After receiving the guarantee, Zhang Zian felt at ease, no matter what, there would be no problems with his health. After communicating with the person in charge for a few more words, and getting the expected delivery date, he left first.

Back at the pet shop, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Richard flapping his wings and flying from Lu Yiyun's shoulder, flying to a high place like a guilty conscience.

"Richard, you have to play on your own when you have nothing to do, and don't always disturb Xiaoyun's painting." He warned.

"It's okay, it's okay, Richard is very helpful to my drawing!" Lu Yiyun hurriedly clarified, "Mr. Store Manager, don't blame him, he helped me think of many interesting plots!"

Zhang Zian stared at Richard suspiciously. He didn't believe that this bastard would show kindness and do good deeds. Could it be that it wanted to punish Lu Yiyun?

Richard combed the feathers with his beak calmly, "Quack! What are you looking at? Don't judge my gentleman's belly with your villainous heart!"

Zhang Zian was not in the mood to argue with it for the time being, so it would be easier to hang it up at night.

Walking into the room, he saw that Fina was yawning lazily, and said, "Fina, come and visit with me."

"I won't go." Fina categorically refused.

"You should at least ask where you are going first?" He said helplessly.

"Why does Bengong ask? Nowhere is as warm as in the Jingu Palace." Fina glanced at the outside slowly, "In such a cold weather, do you want to freeze Bengong to death and then seek my treasure? By the way, soft The warm baby in the mat should be replaced."

"Meow meow! Your majesty's words are absolutely true! This stinky man's stomach is full of gaudy intestines, your majesty must not be fooled!" Snow Lion echoed, "If your majesty feels cold, I will use my body to warm you up!"

"...I'll change that later. Actually, I want to discuss with you... about your imperial dining room." Zhang Zian made an excuse casually.

Fina, who was about to yawn for the second time, blinked her eyes, as if she had some interest, "This palace's... imperial dining room?"

Zhang Zian knew that this overjoyed cat would be interested in this rhetoric, so he did exactly what he liked, and it really succeeded. In Fei Na's point of view, in the whole world, there is no land for cats, and the shore of land, is it for ministers of cats? Since this is a shrine, of course there must be a matching imperial dining room.

"Of course!" He said seriously, "Don't you know that the grilled chicken breast you eat every day is delivered by the imperial chef of the imperial dining room?"

Fei Na turned her head and thought for a while, it only cared about eating and sleeping every day, and really didn't pay attention to Uncle Li's appearance, to it, he was just a mere mortal, never thought that he was actually its imperial cook... …

"Well, let's say you are right." Of course, Fina would not deny that the more people who serve it, the better, so she nodded reservedly, "So what?"

"Cough! That's how it is..." Zhang Zian cleared his throat, and began to talk nonsense in a serious manner that he is best at, "Because... the recent economic downturn in the Big Cat God Kingdom, the business of the Imperial Dining Room is not very good..."

"Wait! Big Cat God Kingdom????" Fina's eyes widened in surprise, completely exhausted.

"Yes, there is a kingdom of big cats under our feet, because the place where you are is the shrine, and the place where the shrine is is the kingdom of the gods?" Zhang Zian wanted it, and spared no effort to flatter him.

Fina was very pleased with this flattery, but then she frowned again: "The Imperial Dining Room only needs to serve the palace, why do you want to do business with others?"

"Because... in order to serve you better, the imperial kitchen tried not to occupy the budget of the shrine. The imperial chefs decided to operate independently and be responsible for their own profits and losses." Zhang Zian explained.

When Fina heard that she didn't need her money, she immediately followed suit, "That's very kind!"

He continued to flicker: "However, their business has been sluggish recently and they have been losing money, so they came over and told me about it... I think there are two solutions, one is that the shrine is responsible for filling their shortfall... ..."

"No!" Fina flatly refused, and said in a strong tone: "My treasure belongs to me, and no one can take it away!"

Zhang Zian knew it would be like this, so he put forward the real purpose: "The second way is for you to go to the imperial dining room to inspect it yourself, find out their problems, and help the imperial chefs turn their losses into profits. They will definitely be grateful, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life—in ancient China, this was called 'Yujia's personal conquest', or 'Weifu private visit', which was very popular in previous TV dramas."

Fina raised her head proudly, "That's inevitable. As long as Ben Gong takes action in person, there is no problem that cannot be solved."

Zhang Zian smiled secretly, that book friend's comment really hit the nail on the head, Fina's character is really too second-rate, she always looks like the only one in the palace.

"Then... shall we set off now?" He asked for instructions.

"Well, I haven't been to the imperial dining room yet, so I just went to have a look." Fina jumped off the cat climbing frame proudly.

"Meow meow! Go down, Your Majesty, and my family will follow!" Snow Lion followed closely behind.

Seeing that Fina had been tricked, Zhang Zian asked Lu Yiyun to look at the shop first, and took Fina and Snow Lion out.

When he got outside the store, he turned his head and saw Richard flying to the cash register again, showing a disgusting smile, and muttering something to Lu Yiyun, which made her blush, but she seemed Not disgusted, but nodded vigorously.

"Hiss! It's so cold!" Fina shivered immediately after being blown by the cold wind, and complained, "Why is it so cold here? Where are the carriages and horses of the palace?"

Snow Lion leaned over brazenly, "Meow Meow Meow! Your Majesty, you can ride on Nujia and use Nujia as a cushion. It is guaranteed to be warmer than a warm baby!"

"Be patient, what kind of carriage do you want? It's not enough for the start-up fee of a taxi, it's only a few steps away." Zhang Zian said perfunctorily, but it's really not far, only one or two hundred meters.

Snow Lion thoughtfully walked in the upwind direction, using his body to shield Fina from the wind. Its long hair that can hide eggs is not afraid of all wind and cold, but Zhang Zian feels that it will be very uncomfortable in summer...

Both Fina and Snow Lion's looks are among the best. One is heroic and the other is soft and cute. They are extremely eye-catching when walking on the road, especially a few young girls. They were too intimidated to get close, but even so, they took out their mobile phones and snapped pictures. Unfortunately, Fei Na and Snow Lion didn't cooperate and always turned their faces away.

The unwilling girls followed behind them, unknowingly followed all the way to Li's snack bar.

The tricycle was parked at the door, and Wang Qian and Li Kun didn't leave after bringing the cat over, helping Uncle Li and his wife to redesign the furnishings in the store.

In the past, the tables in the store were evenly distributed, like every ordinary restaurant, but if it is changed to a place similar to a cat cafe, it can no longer be arranged like this, and there must be enough space for cats to move around. It would lead to fewer tables, but since the snack bar opened, the tables have never been occupied, so what is the use of having so many tables?

Zhang Zian pushed open the door, let Fei Na and Xue Shizi enter the room first, and then he entered. The bored young girls in the back hesitated for a moment, and when they saw that this was an ordinary snack bar, they also followed in.

As soon as Uncle Li saw Zhang Zian, he walked over with the new plaque in his arms, and asked guiltily, "Master Zhang, do you really... really want to change it to this name?"

According to Zhang Zian's request, the new plaque changed from the unremarkable "Li's Snack Bar" to "Li's Supreme Cat Sucking Snack Bar". Feeling uneasy.

"Don't worry, doing business is all about getting ahead. If you don't say anything else, just seeing this name, someone will definitely come in and take a look." Zhang Zian encouraged them.

The girls who followed in saw this extremely fresh plaque, and they asked curiously: "What is a cat-sucking snack bar? How do you suck it?"

Zhang Zian gave Uncle Li a wink, meaning: What do you think of what I said? Business is here!
