Pet King

1642 Chapter 1642-old partner


A few days later.

The news of Zhang Zian’s return had already spread in the familiar circle. Some old customers like Zhao Qi had also brought their friends and relatives who wanted to buy cats and dogs. Although famous ‘fans were much fewer than during the movie’s screening period, as Dog Warrior had passed the cinema-exclusive period and was released on the internet platform, many new fans came from thousands of miles away to the Pet Shop to take photos with it. The popularity of the Pet Shop was as hot as the weather.

However, even if there was a temporary Tiger in autumn, the solar term meant that it would not be as hot as summer.

The turn of summer and autumn was the season with the most typhoons along the coast. Before he went to the United States, he was worried that the typhoon would land in Binhai city. Fortunately, the previous Typhoon eventually changed its course.

A Typhoon could cause a water and power outage. The Pet Shop was fine. After a water and power outage, it would at most be a little stinky. But once the water supply of the aquarium was cut off, if they were not prepared in advance, the Marine creatures that relied on the low-temperature environment would suffer.

Now, he would squat in front of the TV every night and watch the weather forecast with old time tea.

Last night, he was holding a big bowl of cold noodles in his mouth while watching the weather forecast. Sure enough, he saw the dignified host pull the map to the South China Sea, saying that there was a tropical cloud with low air pressure moving northeast.

He had experienced a miraculous hailstorm in the mahogany forest. When he came back, he described the scene to others, saying that hailstones the size of chairs were falling down. No one believed him and thought he was bluffing again. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to record the video at that time, so he had no proof. If he had heard others say that, he probably would not have believed it either.

After this incident, he was afraid of extreme weather. He planned to strengthen the doors and windows and re-waterproof the roof before the typhoon really came. After all, it was an old house.

He had nothing to do after lunch, so he went outside to think about it and how to deal with it.

It was a cloudy day, not too hot, and the wind was about three or four levels strong. It was a good day for going out, as long as it didn’t rain.

“Brother Zhang, are you reading the property fortune?”

A voice as thick as a Bell suddenly sounded from behind him.

Zhang Zian looked back and saw two energetic middle-aged and elderly people standing on the side of the road with their feet supporting their bikes. One was riding an electric bicycle, and the other was riding an ordinary bicycle. They were welder Zhao and electrician Wu, who he had not seen in a long time. The person who greeted him was the former. He was not tall and his voice was not small. Just from his voice, he thought he was a big man.

“Little Zhang, how are you! Long time no see. ” Electrician Wu also waved at him.

“Oh, it’s master Zhao and Master Wu! Do you want to come in and sit? The air conditioner is on in the shop, so it’s cool. ” Zhang Zian invited her out of courtesy.

The last time he saw the two of them was in the end of spring and early summer. At that time, welder Zhao, who had just survived the toxin of the palytoxin, had bought a batch of low-cost aquatic creatures from a store that had been closed down by the Industry and Commerce for selling the palytoxin. As a result, dangerous blue tang had mixed in with those fish. It was only when Zhang Zian had been invited by electrician Wu and brought Vladimir to the store that he had found out.

In fact, the aquarium store was also quite wronged because the purchase process of the aquarium store was different from that of the pet store. Many times, they purchased by weight or box, especially those common aquatic creatures. In order to make it easier to settle the bill, they bought them by weight. They didn’t have time to carefully check the small fish and shrimp, so it was inevitable that some stowaways would sneak in.

Zhang Zian’s aquarium didn’t have such concerns. The water creatures in his shop were all picked up by him from the beach. He didn’t care about quantity, or quality. At least he knew what he was selling.

Electrician Wu and welder Zhao had always been close to each other. They had been colleagues for many years and often worked together after retirement. It was said that they had come to Zhang Zian’s aquarium a few times, but Zhang Zian happened to be out of town or abroad, so they didn’t meet. They had nothing to do anyway, so they just strolled around to see if there were any new and rare goods in the aquarium. They would comment on them and then go brag to their old friends.

“No, no. We were just passing by and saw you in a daze, so we just wanted to say hello. We won’t go in and disturb you.” Electrician Wu smiled.

Zhang Zian noticed that both of them were carrying a long storage bag on their backs. Judging from the shape, it seemed to be sports equipment like a Golf Club. Of course, with welder Zhao’s stinginess, it was impossible for him to spend a lot of money on golf. That was a sport for the rich and powerful.

Welder Zhao pulled a long face and said unhappily,””What do you mean by disturbing? We’re not outsiders with brother Zhang, and we’ve had a friendship that’s been through life and death with him. How can that be called an interruption? Maybe I will introduce a wife to brother Zhang in the future!”

“You can drop it! Could this be called a friendship that had gone through life and death? You can stop embarrassing yourself!” Electrician Wu shook his head at Zhang Zian helplessly.

Zhang Zian also knew welder Zhao’s temper. He was a careless person, especially good at bragging. He was very straightforward, and no matter what he said, he would give a 20% discount. In fact, people with this kind of temper were easy to get along with. They would say everything in the open and would not play dirty.

These two old partners kept talking and not giving in to each other. It seemed like they would fall out at any time, but in fact, no one would take it to heart. They were all joking, but it attracted the attention of passers-by who didn’t know the truth.

“Where are the two of you going for a walk?” Zhang Zian interrupted them. He didn’t want the passers-by to think that it was really two old men quarreling. If he recorded a video and posted it online, it would be a big misunderstanding.

Welder Zhao patted the long storage bag behind him and answered,””The weather’s pretty good today. I’ve asked a few old buddies to go fishing together!”

“Oh!”

Zhang Zian finally understood that they were carrying fishing rods, but they couldn’t just fish with rods. It wasn’t like Jiang Taigong was fishing with a straight hook, so they had to at least have bait. Seeing that they were empty-handed, did they come to the beach to dig earthworms? It was hard to say. With welder Zhao’s stinginess, he could do anything.

Welder Zhao guessed what he was going to ask and immediately added,””My old buddies have a car, so it’s easy to transport goods. They said that we’ll just have to carry the pole, and they’ll prepare the rest.”

Electrician Wu immediately followed up by saying,”Xiao Zhang, don’t mention it. They all know what kind of person old Zhao is. He’s lucky that he’s willing to buy his own fishing rod. They even specifically told him the model of the fishing rod and asked him to buy it from the fishing gear shop or online. He shouldn’t cut one with wood …”

Even though welder Zhao was thick-skinned, he couldn’t hold it in when he heard that.”Bullsh * t! What kind of person do you think I am? It’s really a waste of our friendship of so many years! Break off their friendship! We’re no longer friends in the future!”

With Zhang Zian’s understanding of welder Zhao, he was really that kind of person.
