Dream Pet Shop

"I think it's almost there. There are basically no problems, and the environment is well decorated. The rest is waiting for the certificate to be approved." The staff member of the epidemic prevention station in uniform said to Xia Ji, ticking off the form in his hand.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work on a hot day, go to the next door and have a cold drink before leaving." Xia Ji thanked.

"No, I have to rush to the next one." The inspector put the form back in the bag, looked up at Xia Ji and said, "There are very few young people who come here to open a shop, young man, did you spend a lot on the decoration?" Less money."

"Eh hehe, it's okay." Xia Ji said with a smile, the decoration didn't cost any money.

"Seeing you are young, let me say a few more words. If you don't like to listen, then forget it." The inspector uncle pushed his glasses.

Xia Ji knew that the people sent by the epidemic prevention station must know the situation of pet hospitals in the whole Jiangcheng, and what they said was generally correct, so he hurriedly asked for advice humbly: "Speak, tell."

The inspector uncle went to the window and looked at the street and said: "Pet clinics are generally better opened in residential areas. Speaking of which, although there are also residential areas nearby, as far as I know, there are only a few people in the surrounding communities. I have opened a pet hospital for a few years, and the source of customers has basically been divided up, and has gradually become fixed. In addition, the location of your store is not good, it is in a commercial street, not in a community, and some people don’t want to come if they think it is too far away. The closest to your store is H University, but pets are generally not allowed in universities."

The inspector uncle sighed: "Generally speaking, the business of your pet clinic is not very easy, you have to think about the management strategy."

"Hey, thank you, I will think about it carefully." Xia Ji sent the inspector off gratefully.

Xia Ji hadn't had time to do market research in the surrounding area, so the uncle's words saved him time.It seems that the current business situation of the pet clinic is really "severe".

Xia Ji was actually mentally prepared for such a situation before. After all, the location of the pet store is special. No matter what business he does, the source of customers is the primary issue.Although pet cafes already have some regular customers, most of these customers come to the store to suck pets because they do not have pets themselves, so this part of the customer base is useless for pet clinics.

In addition to the problem of customer sources, running a pet clinic itself is also quite troublesome. Although the system provides various equipment, it does not provide medicines, so Xia Ji has to find a way to get medicines by himself, and the water inside is very deep.In addition, the clinic cannot be managed by Long Wei alone, and at least an assistant must be hired for him, so recruitment is another problem.

For a long time, the dream pet shop has not followed the business model of ordinary pet shops. Xia Ji feels that the operation of pet clinics must also change the way of thinking.He thought that Long Wei would be in charge of the pet clinic after all, so he went to Long Wei to discuss countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, Long Wei had already planned for this, and he directly told Xia Ji: "There is no need to take medicine, and there is no need to recruit people."

"Huh?" Xia Ji was dumbfounded.

The plan Long Wei gave was: "Ask Yinjiao to be my assistant. Yinjiao is a pet of the healing department. With our abilities, the diseases of ordinary pets can basically be cured, and there is no need for medicine."

"This, is it like this?" Xia Ji felt that his cognition had been refreshed, and he half-believingly asked: "Really, can everything be cured?"

Long Wei nodded confidently: "Well, as long as it's an ordinary pet."

Xia Ji showed a look of admiration, the boss really is the boss.

In this way, even if the problems of recruiting people and getting medicines are solved, what remains is the problem of customer source. If you want to have customers, you must do publicity at the beginning. What is the problem of publicity?

Xia Ji felt that his veterinary clinic must be different from ordinary veterinary hospitals, and the nearby source of customers had already been divided by ordinary veterinary hospitals, so he could not only focus on the nearby area, but must expand the target population.

Xia Ji also didn't want to waste the abilities of Long Wei and Mermaid Baby. Since any disease can be cured, common colds and fevers are a bit of an overkill... It's better to specialize in diseases that ordinary pet hospitals don't see well!Once word-of-mouth of "specializing in difficult and miscellaneous diseases" spreads, there will be no worries about the source of customers!

Xia Ji thought this idea was good, so he immediately made a promotional poster on the computer, planning to publish it on the Internet first, then print it as a leaflet and distribute it nearby.The huge words "Specializing in the treatment of difficult and miscellaneous diseases" on the poster seemed a bit fake. In order to increase persuasiveness and attract customers, he added a sentence "No charge if you can't cure it". Still very confident.

After the advertisement was published, Xia Ji felt that the preparations for the opening of the pet clinic were completed, and the rest was waiting for the customers to come to the door, and then slowly accumulate word of mouth.

……

In the room on the second floor, the baby jade silkworm was weaving silk.

"Okay-gas-oh-, I-vomit-I-vomit-"

The baby jade silkworm's hobby is spinning silk. It spins silk when it is happy, it spins silk when it is boring, and it especially likes spinning silk when it is depressed. As a result, the room is often covered with snow-white silk.

Recently, Baby Jade Silkworm is very depressed. Other pets can either transform into adults, or go downstairs to play, but it always stays alone upstairs.And it can't go downstairs, on the one hand because it's too slow, and everyone doesn't wait for it; Yes, if you go downstairs and be seen by the guests, it may scare the guests.

So it can only stay on the second floor to play by itself during the day. In the past, the little thorn ball would play with it, because it had to put the silk it spit out into its pocket. Went downstairs to play with the guests.

Baby Jade Silkworm is so envious. I heard that cute young ladies often come to the store and bring delicious snacks. Baby Mermaid often eats it. It really wants to transform into an adult soon.

"Pound—" The door of the room was knocked open, and the little prickly ball came to collect the silk again.It used to be excited when it saw so many silks, but now it can't stand it anymore.

While stuffing the silk into the small pocket on its belly, it said: "Xiaoyu, Dad said that the machine for making facial masks can only be bought later, and there is no place to put the silk you spit out now, so why don't you spit it out later. "

"Suction——" Baby Jade Silkworm swallowed back the half-spiked silk, and pursed its mouth: "Oh——"

After the little prickly ball quickly put the silk into his pocket, he sat aside and suddenly took out a candy from his pocket, and said happily: "This is given to me by the lady guest today. It is very delicious." With the little thorn ball, I started to peel off the candy paper.

The fluorescent-colored candy wrappers are particularly beautiful. Listening to the sound of peeling the candy wrappers, Baby Jade Silkworm is extremely envious.

The little spiny ball threw the candy into his mouth, and started to sip it, with a happy expression on his face, making the jade silkworm so greedy.

"You—go—somewhere else—eat—la—" Jade Silkworm said angrily, frowning its non-existent brows.

"Eh? Why?" Bajibaji, the little prickly ball leaned over while babbling.

"Hmph." Baby Jade Silkworm ignored it, moved its fat body slowly, and pointed its butt towards it.

Later, when Xia Ji fed the baby jade silkworm with pet growth potions and ability enhancement potions that night, he found that it was gone from the room, replaced by a huge silkworm cocoon on the bed.

"This is?" Xia Ji was a little surprised.

The system answered him: 【Jade silkworms have started to form cocoons, and they should be turning into human beings. 】

"That's it." Xia Ji felt relieved, put the two test tubes beside the bed, and walked out with them behind the door.

The next morning, when Xia Ji opened his eyes, he saw a white, tender, fat boy standing at the head of his bed, staring at him intently.

"!" Xia Ji was taken aback, but he quickly realized that he sat up and asked, "Are you...Xiaoyu?"

"Well! Dad, I'm finally an adult, can I go downstairs to play today?" Jade Silkworm Baby asked impatiently.

"Okay, as long as it doesn't disturb the guests..." Xia Ji was surprised to find that the baby jade silkworm's speech speed became faster after it turned into a human being, and it was no longer slow, and the voice was very thin and soft...a female doll voice!

"Yeah! That's great!" Baby Jade Silkworm cheered, and ran outside. Xia Ji felt the floor was shaking, and quickly called the little fat man: "Come back, I haven't put on my clothes yet."

I have to say that the Jade Silkworm Baby after turning into an adult is really too fat. Xia Ji gave him the clothes I bought for the mermaid baby, but none of them could fit him. Xia Ji was so busy that he sweated profusely and said: manage?"

In the end, Xia Ji had no choice but to cut off his clothes and trousers, and temporarily let the baby silkworm wear them.

After the jade silkworm got dressed, it ran downstairs with a "thump, thud, thump" in super excitement, and the whole floor was shaking.

This is the first time he has come downstairs, and everything is novel to see, and when he has seen enough everywhere, he can't wait for the guests to come to his door, imagining that he will also receive many small gifts, and he also specially asked the baby mermaid to teach him how to Help deliver things to guests.

When it was almost noon, guests began to come to the door one after another, and Baby Jade Silkworm also imitated Baby Mermaid to entertain guests with hospitality, but he found that the result was different from what he expected.

Although the girls would laugh when they saw him, they didn't chat with him, nor praised him for being cute, nor gave him candy. Instead, they often heard mermaid babies being praised for being cute.

Baby Jade Silkworm looked at the mermaid baby, then looked down at itself, thought for a while, then ran over to Xia Ji, pulled Xia Ji's clothes and said, "Father, Xiaoyu don't wear this, but wear the clothes that the mermaid baby wears."

Xia Ji glanced at the little skirt on the baby mermaid, and explained with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Xiaoyu is a boy who is not suitable for wearing skirts, and the baby mermaid is a special case, so don't learn from him."

Baby Jade Silkworm frowned, and said in a baby voice: "But wearing a skirt is cuter, and Xiaoyu also wants to be praised for being cute."

"..." No, it's not the skirt, it's the figure and appearance, but Xia Ji couldn't bear to tell a child such a cruel fact, so he comforted him: "No need to be praised, Xiaoyu is very cute."

"Really?" Baby Jade Silkworm dubiously went to help the guests again.

After a while, Baby Jade Silkworm saw many guests taking pictures with mermaid babies. He deliberately passed by several times, but no one asked him to take pictures with him, so he felt a little sad.After the group photo was over, a young lady gave the mermaid a piece of chocolate, and he was so envious.

So he plucked up the courage to say to the guests at the table: "Sister, don't you want to take a photo with me?"

"Uh...hehe, okay." Several female guests raised their phones awkwardly.

In fact, it's not that these girls don't like this little boy, but let's take a photo together, people are selfish, and they all hope that the photos will be tall and good, so that they can be posted on Moments.When I met Xiaoyin's exquisite-looking mixed-race doll, the group photo immediately took on a dreamy fairytale style, and it would definitely attract attention when posted on Moments.

Although Xiaoyu is also very cute, but this kind of white, tender and bald little fat man is easy to remind people of the Fuwa in the New Year pictures!There is always a feeling that I like to be a mother...

In order not to hurt the children's self-esteem, the girls hastily took a few photos, obviously, they would not send them to Moments.

"That..." Jade Silkworm baby said to her finger in a childish voice, "Is there no chocolate?"

The girl fumbled in the bag for a long time, but found nothing in the end, and said apologetically, "Ah, I'm sorry, I've run out of what I brought today, next time my sister will bring it to you, okay?"

Jade Silkworm Baby: "...qaq"

That night, Xia Ji opened the door and was surprised to find that the jade silkworm baby that had transformed into a human had formed a cocoon again.

The author has something to say: Jade silkworm baby: "Eep... qaq, none of you like me!"
