Pet King
chapter-1742-30041322

Feng Xuan cherished his reputation. If he wasn't very optimistic about the script of Dog Warrior 2, he wouldn't have come to Zhang Zian personally to mention this.

In the past, when famous acted in "Dog Warrior," it was paid the price of a newcomer. Although it wasn't particularly low, there was a big gap with the pay of human actors. Things were different now. The production company of Dog Warrior 2, whose budget had been increased by ten times, had directly thrown out a salary that, in Zhang Zian's opinion, could be considered sky-high. If ordinary people did not squander, they could not work for the rest of their lives.

This was not the highest pay he had ever seen. The producers and directors who had come to negotiate with him for film contracts were like a school of silver carps crossing the river. Some of them were paid so high that it was unbelievable, even accounting for more than half of the total budget of the film. The rest of the human actors were all B-list pretty actresses and young male stars, and they took up another quarter of the budget. If he signed the contract for famous, he would only be left with a yacht and a mansion for the rest of his life, but famous's reputation would be almost ruined.

What kind of luxurious life had famous not experienced? When it was extravagant, the ancestors of these actors were still eating dirt. It used to treat the best Wagyu beef as a regular meal, and now it found the beef bought from the market, which cost 30 yuan per 500 grams, delicious. No matter how big the house was, sleeping space was only one square meter.

It had seen through all these worldly possessions. In 20 years, no one would remember the old and faded popular stars, and it would be remembered in the history of movies.

Zhang Zian took the script that Feng Xuan handed over. The script was not thin, and the content was very detailed. It was definitely impossible to read it on the spot and give an answer. He had to study it repeatedly with famous in private to try to be as perfect as possible.

Feng Xuan eagerly urged him to raise any opinions about the script. Since Zhang Zian was busy, he didn't want to disturb him, so he left first.

As soon as he left, Zhang Zian was standing at the door, looking down and skimming through the script. He wanted to take a look at the plot outline first. After all, as a fan of famous, he was also very curious about the content of Dog Warrior 2.

At this time, another private car stopped by the side of the road and honked twice to attract his attention.

Zhang Zian quickly walked over.

Sun Xiaomeng opened the trunk and got out of the car.

"The medicine you requested has been prepared. See if it's enough." She pointed at the plastic buckets in the trunk and said.

"Almost. I'll find you if it's not enough." Zhang Zian opened the lid of one of the buckets and saw that it was filled with white powder, which was a mixture of several kinds of insecticide and disinfectant.

"But what do you want so many for? A medicinal bath for pets?" When sun Xiaomeng received Zhang Zian's prescription request, she had already guessed that such a medicine combination could only be used in a medicinal bath, but the amount was far more than the dosage needed for ordinary pet shops. The common medicinal bath medicines were all in liquid form, in the form of shower gel, for convenience of use, but Zhang Zian specifically asked for dry powder, because the dosage was too large, and the liquid took up too much space.

It was difficult for a layman to master the ratio of several strong drugs, and it was also difficult to get these drugs. The manufacturers were more willing to sell medicinal bath body lotions with high profits, so he asked sun Xiaomeng to buy and mix them for him.

"That's right, if you buy more at once, Won't You Be able to lower the unit price?" He answered.

Seeing that he was playing dumb, sun Xiaomeng obviously didn't want to answer why he bought such a large dosage. Anyway, these drugs were very toxic to humans, and unless they were eaten in a whole bucket, they generally wouldn't cause harm to humans.

She was also very busy at her clinic. The typhoon had caused many pet fractures, burns, and so on, so she had to hurry back to the clinic to receive customers.

She hurriedly explained the proportion of water mixed in, as well as which bucket was for cats and which bucket was for dogs. She also emphasized that these strong insecticide was highly toxic to pets and must not be drunk.

Zhang Zian nodded and remembered it. He also had to pass this information to Vladimir and little white.

He planned to buy an inflatable swimming pool for home use and place it somewhere in the suburbs. Then, he would put some medicinal powder in it and mix it with water. Then, he would use the generator to make a simple water circulation shower device. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather was not too cold, he would find a good day with good weather and let the stray cats and dogs line up to disinfect it, and then dry their fur.

He asked Wang Qian and Li Kun to move the barrels of powder into the shop.

"Manager Zhang!"

Sun Xiaomeng was not willing to give up. She wanted to further explore the real reason why he bought so many drugs, but suddenly a loud voice called out to Zhang Zian. She did not know the thin bald old man, so she had to leave and return to the clinic.

Zhang Zian looked over and saw that the person who called him was an old man who was not tall but had a loud voice. It was welder Zhao, and electrician Wu, who was almost inseparable from welder Zhao, was next to him.

Welder Zhao was riding an Electric Tricycle, and electrician Wu was riding an electric bicycle. The two old men were in good spirits.

"Master Zhao, Master Wu, what are you doing here? I've been busy recently, so I didn't have time to visit you. If you didn't help me make it waterproof, my shabby shop probably wouldn't have survived this Typhoon. " Zhang Zian said.

"Don't mention it, we're on the same side, no need to be polite. " Electrician Wu said,"if it wasn't for you, my old partner would have lost his life several times ..."

"How could it be several times?" Welder Zhao was not convinced. His voice was loud, almost like a quarrel, and it attracted the attention of the customers in the shop.

Zhang Zian was afraid that they would start arguing again, so he quickly changed the topic."Master Zhao, is your body ... Okay?"

Welder Zhao patted his chest proudly."I'm fine, I'm fine a long time ago. I'm still very healthy ... It's just that I'm missing a piece of flesh on my hand."

Due to the infection of the Marine bacteria, a large piece of rotten flesh had been cut off from the edge of his palm by the doctor. The wound had just healed and the bandage had been removed, revealing an ugly scar.

"I'm already so old anyway, no one cares what I look like. So what if I lose some meat? it's no big deal. " He said loudly,"eat a few more pieces of meat and you might grow back!"

With his personality, should he be called open-minded and optimistic, or should he be called someone who only knows how to eat and not how to beat? Perhaps both.

"Master Zhao, Master Wu, where are you guys going?"

Zhang Zian noticed that there were some uncommon tools in the container of the electric Tricycle, which did not look like decoration tools. They included a plastic bucket, a small shovel with a wooden handle, a net bag with a narrow eye, long rain boots, a long and thick iron hook, a flat stone with a rope tied to it, a thick-handled writing brush ... And the strangest thing was a can of salt.

"AI!"

Electrician Wu sighed before he spoke. He pointed at welder Zhao and said,""It's all because of him. A few days ago, the slaps were still so painful that he couldn't sleep without taking painkillers. Now that the slaps no longer hurt, he's starting to torment himself again ..."

Welder Zhao interrupted him, Wu! Why are you always ridiculing me? Am I tormenting you? I'm just ... Cooking some game to thank manager Zhang! Besides, who was in so much pain? Who's in so much pain that they can't sleep all night?"

Electrician Wu laughed coldly."Manager Zhang, I really don't care about him anymore! His wound didn't hurt too much these days, so he began to eat meat, especially crayfish. However, after the typhoon, crayfish were generally out of stock, and the price was too high. He was greedy and reluctant to spend money on them. "Yesterday, I heard from my aquatic friends that there was a beach in the South. After the typhoon, someone was digging for Taotie prawns there. He dug a few catties and went home to make his own spicy Taotie prawns. He said that they were more delicious than spicy crawfish, so delicious that he almost ate his fingers ... When old Zhao heard this, he couldn't sit still at home. His palm no longer hurt. Today, he dragged me to dig for Taotie prawns no matter what. This car is filled with stuff for him to ask for advice. It's a tool that people told him about, a tool used to dig out big mole crickets. "

Welder Zhao straightened his neck and said, unconvinced,""Manager Zhang, please be reasonable. The giant Taotie shrimp is lying under the sand of the tidal flat. I'm digging, and so are the others. Why can't I dig? Store manager Zhang, I'm telling you, I even brought lunch today. I'm not going home until I dig up ten catties of giant Taotie shrimp! We won't regard each other as strangers, I ... I ... I'll share five pounds with you!"

When he said that he would give Zhang Zian five pounds, welder Zhao's face was full of heartache.

Zhang Zian understood now. It turned out that welder Zhao wanted to eat shrimp, but he was reluctant to spend money on crayfish, so he had the idea of buying large tadpole shrimp.

The giant Taotie shrimp was not as likable as the crayfish. It was a little ugly, but it was indeed edible. He heard that it was delicious, and the most important thing was that it didn't cost money.

This kind of shrimp was hidden in the sand of the tidal flat and could only be caught when they were dug out. When they were caught, they would use an incredible tool like a writing brush. No wonder they had a thick and long writing brush in their car.

However, catching large Taotie prawns was a technical job. Inexperienced people might not be able to catch a few in a day. Zhang Zian doubted whether welder Zhao's bold words of digging five kilograms could be realized.

The most important thing was, was electrician Wu anxious and angry because of the Taotie shrimp? It was obviously because of welder Zhao's death-seeking physique!

"No need, master Zhao, you can keep it for yourself. I don't really like eating crayfish or giant Taotie shrimp." Zhang Zian declined.

Actually, how many people didn't like to eat crayfish? He said that because he could understand welder Zhao's stingy mind ...

When welder Zhao heard that, he pretended to be happy and regretful.""You don't like it? Sigh, then I have no choice. I'll get you some old hens raised in the countryside one day to nourish your body. "

Anyone could tell how unreliable this kind of promise was. Electrician Wu sighed as he listened, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

"That ... Master Zhao, I don't know which part of the southern tidal flat you're talking about. I've never been there before, but I'd like to remind you to be careful of the danger." Zhang Zian said.

What welder Zhao and electrician Wu were doing was to clear the mudflat. The concept of clearing the mudflat and clearing the sea were very similar, even overlapping, but not completely the same.

Travelling to the sea was usually to look for creatures or shells washed up by the waves on the beach or between the reefs on the coast. The harvest was especially great during low tide. The key was to step on the harder sand or reefs.

Tidebanks were carried out on soft sand. When one stepped on it, the sand might reach up to one's calf, and they might even have to dig out creatures from the sand. Because it was difficult to walk in the soft sand, they might not be able to safely return to the shore in time when the tide rose.

He reminded them not to go too deep into the tidal flat during low tide, or they would be in trouble during high tide.

Welder Zhao promised, saying that he had already asked his fish friends about the things to pay attention to, and he would not be rash.

In all fairness, welder Zhao was not reckless. After all, he had been working in the factory for decades without any accidents. His safety awareness was quite strong, but ... He was just too unlucky.

He picked up a rock with a bobbit worm hidden in it.

His neighbor had some water creatures mixed in with poisonous sand anemones.

His hand was cut while he was fishing, and he was infected with the Marine bacteria Vulture ...

He had encountered almost all of these unfortunate events that ordinary people would not encounter in their entire lives.

It was a miracle that he could still be alive despite his bad luck. In superstitious words, he had a tough life.

Electrician Wu still wanted to say a few more words, but welder Zhao couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to run to the beach, afraid that if he was a step late, all the big Taotie prawns would be dug up by others. He said goodbye to Zhang Zian and forcefully pulled electrician Wu away.

Zhang Zian looked at the two old men who had been quarreling all the way and couldn't help but laugh. He silently wished them a safe return with a full load.

As soon as the two left and he was about to enter the shop, he saw another private car driving over.

He didn't recognize the car, but after a closer look, he found that the driver was Sheng ke, who was in casual clothes.

What a busy day ...

He looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart. This seemed to indicate that the coming year would not be easier than the previous year.

"Captain Sheng, what's the matter?"

He rushed over and opened the door for Sheng ke.

Sheng ke was surprised by his question."No, I'm on leave today. I'm shopping with my wife and children. I saw you standing by the road, so I came to say hello."

Zhang Zian was relieved. If even Sheng ke had something to ask him, he would be so busy that he would cry.

Sheng ke's wife and children were sitting in the back seat of the car. Zhang Zian had seen their photos before, but this was the first time he had seen them in person.

They smiled and greeted Zhang Zian, their expressions full of sweet joy.

Sheng ke was always so busy that he often had to be on duty or work overtime on the weekends. It was rare for him to enjoy precious holidays and go shopping with his wife and children on the weekends.

Zhang Zian invited them into the shop for a while, but they said that they had already booked tickets to the amusement park. They were afraid that there would be too many tourists if they were late, so he did not insist. After all, the family should enjoy their precious holiday.

They exchanged a few words about their recent situation. Sheng ke was quite talkative and wanted to talk more, but Zhang Zian urged him to leave quickly, not to let his sister-in-law and niece wait too long.

Sheng ke understood his concern. He got back into the car, restarted the engine, and drove toward the amusement park. His wife and children waved goodbye to him from the back window.

However, just a few seconds after the car started, it suddenly stopped.

Zhang Zian saw Sheng ke put his phone to his ear and said a few words, and then his face turned serious.

As expected, his premonition was right. This was a period of trouble.
