Strange Life of a Cat

After washing his hair and scrubbing, Zheng Tan came out from the pool, stayed under the shade of a tree for a while, and returned to the private room when the hair was almost dry. This made it useless for Papa Jiao to find a towel.

Yuan Zhiyi raised her hand to close the window, the air conditioner in the room was blowing, and even if it was not closed properly, she could feel the hot air blowing in from the outside. He didn't close the window when he first came in, and Zheng Tan jumped out when he was about to close the window, so the window was always ajar, and now it's really closed.

Your cat is really courageous. Fortunately, Mars and Tofu have been trained, and they have come into contact with a lot of small animals. They basically don't bite people very much, and they are kind to cats and dogs. Shu Dong said to Jiao's father. .

Papa Jiao was noncommittal, but just smiled.

Zheng Tan scoffed at Shu Dong's words in his heart. He also saw that Mars and Tofu were more kind-hearted and did not show any malice towards him, so he had the courage to go there. If not, he would be stupid to provoke those cruel and untrained Guys, do you think your life is too long?

Yuan Zhiyi, who was next to him, finally turned the topic back to the changes in the financial market and wanted to hear more about Shu Dong's opinion. Now that Zheng Tan came back, Shu Dong changed the topic again. As a last resort, Yuan Zhiyi coughed and turned to Jiao Jiao Dad blinked and signaled to turn the topic back quickly, don't go further and further, it's rare to have such an opportunity to learn more.

After chatting for a while about the changes in the financial market, the topic turned to what happened at Guqinshe not long ago, and also the perpetrator.

He has nothing now, so he will naturally act more extreme. Yuan Zhiyi said.

Nothing? Shu Dong smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, It's not like he has nothing, at least he's still sick, not a serious one.

It can be seen that Dong Shu is not very optimistic about that person's behavior and despises him very much.

Probably people who have reached that situation will not be calm, right? The higher you stand, the more painful it will be if you fall all at once. Yuan Zhiyi said.

Zheng Tan glanced at Shu Dong. He felt that this person seemed to be more interested in cats than in people. He probably encountered some bad things. When Zheng Tan was walking around a while ago, he heard someone say, The more people you know, the more you think pets are better, it's not uncommon for people to be stabbed in the back after being nice to people. That's why some people's ideas become more and more extreme. Bar.

However, Zheng Tan felt that Dong Shu was not as simple as he seemed, just like Fang Shaokang, who was not very reliable at ordinary times, but he could indeed carry a big company and make great achievements. It is so easy to see through that it is not someone who has been fighting for more than 20 years on a battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder cannot be seen.

While chatting over there, they talked about Chuhua City, Shu Dong sighed: Chuhua City is a good place, a friend of mine is going to open a shop there.

Papa Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi's heart moved, here they come!

Yuan Zhiyi's company basically had no business overlap with Mr. Shu's. Before that, they thought that people like Mr. Shu who invited them to this kind of place to drink tea and chat might not be all because of cats. Sure enough, there were other reasons.

The friend Shu Dong mentioned is the owner of this shop. Although the place looks very high-end, the owner is from a grassroots background and has not read many books. He didn’t finish his junior high school. Bei learned cooking skills from all over the world and figured out many dishes. Later, when Nancheng began to develop rapidly, he came to this city to open a shop. By chance, he met Shu Dong and other people, and with their help, he opened this relatively high-end shop. However, the first shop opened by that boss has never been closed, and now he has become famous among the people in Nancheng. These years I have spent all my time thinking about food, and I have no intention of managing the store. Now that I have some free time, I don’t have to worry about funds, so I think about opening branches in other parts of the country.

It happened that when Shu Dong talked with Professor Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi about his dog scaring the other party's cat away this time, he knew that these two were from Chuhua City. Shu Dong also took this opportunity to inquire about it. Most of his career is actually In foreign countries, the domestic ones only know a little bit about the capital, Mingzhu City, and Nancheng, and not so familiar with those in other places.

Yuan Zhiyi and Jiao's father chatted with Mr. Shu about some of the current developments in Chuhua City. During the chat, they found that Mr. Shu didn't know anything about Chuhua City. Several well-known enterprises and local figures in Chuhua City could say The last two sentences of my own opinion.

At this moment, the door of the private room opened, and a man in his forties or fifty came in. He was not very well dressed, with a vest and shorts, and there was a smell of food on his body. Seeing the casualness with which this person greeted Shu Dong, and the closeness of Tofu and Mars to this person, Zheng Tan deduced that this person should be the owner of the shop that Shu Dong mentioned.

When this man came in, he led Mars and Tofu in together. The fur on the two dogs was already dry, and it should be that the two dogs were led away from the pool shortly after Zheng Tan returned to the private room.

Compared with those long-haired dog breeds, Great Danes are dogs that are afraid of cold but not heat because of their short hair. However, in summer, when the sun is exposed to the sun and the temperature is high, Great Danes will also feel hot, and some of them may even feel hot. Uncomfortable conditions such as heat stroke may occur, so tofu often stays in the air-conditioned room in summer, and only finds time to go to the pool to play when its owner is busy.

As soon as they entered the room, the two big dogs, which were panting vigorously with their mouths wide open, became much quieter. The coolness of the room made them feel very comfortable.

Tofu also leaned over to sniff the chair where Zheng Tan was squatting, seeing that Zheng Tan ignored it, he walked back and sat down next to the person who just came in. As for Mars, he had already run to Shu Dong's side and lay down on his stomach.

Zheng Tan was not at all interested in the conversation between Papa Jiao and Shu Dong. He stared at Tofu's ears, then at Mars's drooping ears, and then looked at the four people who had started to introduce each other and chatted. Zheng Tan Jumped off the chair and walked towards the tofu. Anyway, no one was staring at him, and he was bored sitting here by himself.

Tofu, who was a little tired from playing in the water, lay on the floor and licked his nose in the cool temperature of the room, then closed his eyes and began to doze off. When Zheng Tan jumped off the chair, Tofu’s ears moved, but he didn’t. Opening his eyes, the big guy slowly opened his eyes until Zheng Tan walked in front of it. When he saw Zheng Tan, he didn't look up, but just raised his eyelids to look at Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan stared at Tofu's eyes, feeling that this guy should be in a good mood now, and he didn't show any alienation or warning, so he leaned forward again, looked at Tofu's pricked ears, and thought about whether to cut his ears How did you cut it, I'm a little curious.

As Zheng Tan approached, Tofu raised his head, opened his mouth, stretched out his tongue and kicked, and looked at Zheng Tan, as if he didn't understand what the cat was going to do. When Zheng Tan raised his hand and touched Tofu's ear, Tofu shook his head and rubbed his paws against his ear, probably because Zheng Tan's action just now made it feel a little itchy, but he was not angry and did not issue a warning roar.

What a dog. Zheng sighed.

The four people in front of the table were chatting about a new dish that the owner of the shop had conceived. The owner's surname was Cai. Before this person appeared, Zheng Tan wondered if this shop owner would also have the typical image of a big head and a thick neck. , which now appears not to be the case. Nearly fifty, he is quite healthy. He has no fat arms and a big belly. He is very easy-going. He can't talk about other things and doesn't talk much, but when he talks about food, he really shines.

Mr. Shu jokingly talked about things before Boss Cai made his fortune. Boss Cai, who came from a grassroots farmer and was often hungry, met many people who belittled him when he went out of the countryside to study art in the city. He once had a landlord Said that Boss Cai, who was renting cheap houses there at that time, was a fly in the countryside, born in a latrine and died at a dining table. To put it bluntly, the translation is that people from poor backgrounds and low cultures only know how to eat, and you can forget about eating to death.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor. Many people have said this pretentious sentence, but only a very few people can realize it. So every time we chatted, Mr. Shu and some of Boss Cai’s friends would joke with him and say, “When the time comes, you’ll drive a million-dollar luxury car and bring a few million cash to smash him to death.”

Don't let Mr. Shu mention what happened back then, Boss Cai talked about the new dishes that he has worked out in the past few months.

Yuan Zhiyi couldn't stop drooling when he heard those dishes. He is also a foodie. Hearing that Nancheng's Food Taste was opened by Boss Cai, his favorability for Boss Cai soared. Yuan Zhiyi's father, who has passed away, likes shiwei dishes very much when he was still there. The old man said that the dishes there are not impetuous. Yuan Zhiyi can't understand what is said about a dish. Just eat, as for tasting dishes, that is the job of gourmet experts.

Leaving aside the taste, even with Mr. Yuan's relationship, Yuan Zhiyi also planned to give more advice to Boss Cai.

Don't think that opening a restaurant is a simple matter, just like Jiao Wei and his family opened a small restaurant at Chuhua University back then, there were so many troubles, let alone a large-scale restaurant like Shiwei that Yuan Zhiyi thought would definitely become popular .

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress local snakes, and there are quite a few local snakes in Chuhua City. If you want to make the store bigger, you still need to consider some factors. This is also one of the reasons why Shu Dong invited Papa Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi here after he knew the origins of them. One is a professor who has been teaching at Chuhua University for a long time, and the other is the boss of a company in Chuhua City. Even if you can't get much useful things from them, it's good to listen to them more. Incomplete.

Yuan Zhiyi doesn't think Boss Cai will encounter much difficulty in Chuhua City. It is enough to manage some places. Whether the branch can be established depends on whether it can retain customers, as long as the quality of the food does not decline.

Don't worry, there's no problem. I believe in the ability of 'Food Taste'. When 'Food Taste' opens, I can often eat 'Shi Wei' dishes. Even if it is far away, I have to drive there. Yuan Zhiyi said with a smile.

It's not far away. Isn't Professor Jiao in Chuhua University? The store I bought is near there. Boss Cai said, That's what it's called... the Hengwu Plaza. I was looking for it for a long time. I think, the newly built Hengwu Square is pretty good, so it’s listed.”

Seeing Professor Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi's expressions suddenly become subtle, Mr. Shu asked, Why, what's wrong?

Constant dance square? Isn't that Ye Hao's territory? Papa Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi looked at Zheng Tan at the same time.

Shu Dong and Boss Cai also followed their gazes, and saw that the black cat was holding Tofu's head with one paw, while the other paw was looking at Tofu's ears.

There is a saying that good people are bullied by people, and dogs are bullied by cats when they are good.

Papa Jiao helplessly covered his face again.
