Start at the pet store

Five hundred yuan! ?

Are you kidding me?

Lu Jingxing only took a look and shook his head: "Auntie, do you know what it usually eats?"

"It eats cat food, and some meat, fish, shrimp, etc..." Auntie took out her mobile phone and showed it to him: "This cat is well-fed. My son often takes it out for a bath. Bathing is expensive, more expensive than people, more than ten or twenty yuan each time."

In her words, it only costs five yuan to take a bath.

Lu Jingxing took a deep breath: Are you kidding me? This cat has such thick fur, and it costs at least more than a hundred yuan to wash it once.

What's more, the fur is so smooth and well-groomed, and it must eat well and be well-fed.

Look, after looking at the pictures on the phone, Lu Jingxing found that the fish oil that this cat usually eats is more than five hundred yuan a bottle.

Not to mention the piles of canned food, good quality freeze-dried food, the price is not cheap.

"It's quite lively, although it doesn't move much now." Auntie showed him the scene of it playing.

Lu Jingxing took a look and thought, well, it's pretty good.

This cat toy alone costs more than 100 yuan, and the cat climbing frame at the back costs at least 1,300 yuan in their store.

Good man, the things this owner bought for the cat are not cheap.

The cost is at least tens of thousands, and his mother wants to sell the kitten to him for 500 yuan.

If she really wants to sell it...

Lu Jingxing felt like he had a heart attack.

"Hey, if you really don't like it, forget it!" Seeing that he just looked at it without saying anything, the aunt picked up the airline box and said, "I'll go to another store to have a look!"

Looking at her attitude, she will not give up until there is a result today.

Lu Jingxing would not cheat the original owner, but it is hard to say for other families...

"No, I'll take it, I'll take it." Lu Jingxing took out his mobile phone and asked her: "WeChat or Alipay?"

"It's all right!" The aunt was immediately happy and put down the airline box again: "It should have been sold long ago! He plays with cats every day, and he doesn't even go out to find a girlfriend... You added me on WeChat, right? Okay, let me check it out, okay, got it!"

She took the money and turned around and left.

She didn't even look back at the cat, it was so straightforward.

Lu Jingxing was stunned and looked down at the cat: "...Alas."

He didn't even say the name.

He left in such a hurry.

"Meow." This Manx is very familiar with people, not shy at all, and called through the cage: Open the door, open the door!

Lu Jingxing sighed, knowing that it was well-fed and would not have any diseases, but he was also afraid that it would be scratched by other cats in the store.

I simply took it upstairs and put it in a single room on the second floor.

Now that the backyard has been developed, there are very few people on the second floor.

Now there are only two people working on the computer on the second floor, each holding a cat in their arms. When they heard the noise, they didn't even raise their heads.

Lu Jingxing took the Mankikang out of the airline box and fed it cat food, but it didn't eat it. He also didn't eat the freeze-dried food.

He was cruel and opened the most expensive canned food for it.

This time it ate it, well, only licked the oily skin on the top, and didn't eat the meat underneath because it was too old.

"Okay, you're cruel." This is really a spoiled little princess, and they can't afford to serve her in a cat cafe.

It's conceivable that if it was sold to other pet shops, this cat would probably starve to death there.

Lu Jingxing reached out and touched its little head, it was really soft and cute.

It fell down as soon as he stretched out his hand, and its snow-white belly was exposed.

The fur on the belly was lighter and pink.

How could anyone not like this? Its owner hugs it, kisses it, and speaks to it in a soft and gentle voice. Isn't this normal?

Even Lu Jingxing was afraid that speaking loudly would scare it.

After the kitten finished eating, it turned around, inspected the territory, and sniffed everywhere.

Then, it turned its head and continued to call: "Meow, meow..."

Nothing else, just not very satisfied with this new environment.

"I'm sorry for you." Lu Jingxing sighed and touched it: "Wait until your owner comes, you can go back."

There is no way, the conditions here can't be compared with its home.

Hearing that a delicate little princess came, Yang Pei came to see it specially.

As soon as he saw it, he couldn't let go, and he almost wanted to hold it in his hands all the time: "This is too obedient, right? How did its owner teach it?"

As long as he was held in his arms, it would obediently hang its head on his shoulder.

Two little paws tightly grasped his clothes and looked around curiously.

It won't run around or scratch at all. It won't get angry even if he buries his face in its belly. Instead, it will purr.

Yang Pei has never enjoyed such treatment before. She was so happy that tears were about to flow down her cheeks: "I really want to buy it from him... This cat is too good!"

If it were the rebellious children in their store, he would probably get slapped in the face as soon as he got close to it.

"Don't think about it. This is my sweetheart." Lu Jingxing didn't even raise his head and waved his hand: "Put it on the shelf after playing for a while. If you are sweaty, don't hold it. Don't let it get dirty."

The owner will dislike it when he comes.

Yang Pei was reluctant, but she still put it on the shelf: "Ah, one day, I want to have a cat like this!"

Let him hold it and let him do it!

As they were talking, someone suddenly came hurriedly and pushed open the glass door.

It was a young man wearing glasses, looking very hurried, with the collar of his white shirt crooked and sweating from the heat.

After pushing the door, he didn't even come in and asked directly by holding the door: "Hello, did you receive a cat? Snow-white, short-legged Mankiewicz."

It seems that it was him.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I received one, what's the matter?"

"How much did you receive it for? Can I buy it back from you for twice or ten times?" The man got anxious when he heard it, and hurried in: "I'll transfer it to you now!"

"Hey, don't worry." Lu Jingxing had to check the situation with him, and quickly stopped him: "What's your name? What does your cat look like? Do you know who brought it here to sell? And then..."

Speaking of this, the man directly handed over a business card: "This is my business card, my name is Luo Ronggui, this is my cat, it's called Coke."

The mobile phone is full of various photos of him and Coke, and there are also various certificates when buying Coke.

He brought it home when it was just one month old. He has raised it until it is one and a half years old now. There are photos of the whole process.

Lu Jingxing took a closer look and found that it was exactly the same as the cat upstairs.

Even the scratches on the airline box were exactly the same.

Luo Ronggui was sweating profusely. When he spoke, the sweat on his forehead was still dripping down.

"Take it easy, don't rush." ​​Lu Jingxing handed him a piece of paper and took him upstairs: "It should be your Coke... an aunt brought it here..."

"It's my mother." Luo Ronggui said, and he was so angry: "She refused to tell me and insisted that it ran away."

But he knew his mother too well.

Even if she could sell it for two yuan, she would not throw the cat out directly.

So he held a one-in-ten-thousand hope and looked everywhere in the pet stores and catteries in Longan.

This was the third store he had found all the way from home.

If he couldn't find it again, he would really be desperate.

Because he was not sure to which store his mother had sold Coke, nor was he sure whether the store would admit it.

After all, buying a purebred Munchkin for a few hundred dollars was a lucrative business no matter how you looked at it.

"Haha, that's true." Lu Jingxing opened the door, and Coke had jumped onto the cat climbing frame in the corner, studying the bell on it.

As soon as Luo Ronggui saw Coke, his eyes turned red, and he called it loudly: "Coke!"

Coke turned his head and looked at it when he heard the voice.

It was originally looking around in a normal way, but the moment it saw Luo Ronggui clearly, it jumped directly from the high cat climbing frame.

Because its legs were too short, it bumped when it landed.

It didn't care whether it hurt or not, and rushed towards him directly.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei looked at each other and closed the door gently.

They both needed time to relax.

When they went downstairs again, Luo Ronggui and Coke were in a good mood.

Kele was really spoiled. He refused to enter the airline box. He just lay quietly on Luo Ronggui's arm and looked around curiously.

After coming down, Luo Ronggui told Lu Jingxing: "My mother is reluctant to spend money, so I usually quote fake prices when I buy things."

Fruits worth hundreds of yuan were quoted at a few yuan per pound.

Clothes worth hundreds of yuan were quoted at dozens of yuan. Even his mother complained that they were too expensive.

Of course, computers and other things could only be quoted at a few hundred yuan, saying that they were old ones used by colleagues.

Of course, cats can't be expensive.

"I said that my friend's cat gave birth, so she took fifty yuan from me as a token of appreciation and gave it to me." Luo Ronggui said, rubbing his nose a little embarrassedly: "They also said that the utensils were given to Kele because others didn't want them."

His mother didn't understand cats at all, but she really believed it.

The result was like this...

Lu Jingxing laughed and nodded: "I think so... I just didn't expect that she really believed it..."

Just the cat climbing frame, the automatic feeder...

Does she really believe that it was given to her for free...

"Well, some of them were brought back on my birthday, and some were said to be prizes drawn by the company after the annual meeting..."

Anyway, as long as you want it, you can always come up with many reasons.

That's right, Lu Jingxing nodded.

However, he didn't charge Luo Ronggui more money: "I saw it at the time, there must be a misunderstanding, and it was because she said she wanted to take it to another store to sell it, so I kept it."

I didn't think about making money from Coke, so there was no need to charge more money.

Luo Ronggui couldn't beat him, and finally bought a cat bed from him.

He picked the best and most expensive one, which was very comfortable to the touch and could be used in all seasons. Just a mat alone cost more than 700 yuan.

"This... Aren't you afraid that when you are not at home, your mother will give the Coke to..." Yang Pei looked at the cat bed and was secretly shocked: It is really expensive, and it has not been sold since it was purchased.
