At 7:15pm, Zhang Zian looked at the watch and said to Wang Qian and Li Kun, ”Start picking up.”
Surprised, Wang Qian and Li Kun said, ”Master, we still have customers.”
At that time, two customers were looking at pets, a man and a woman. They came separately.
Zhang Zian nodded, ”I know. Start picking up and then you can leave when you are done.”
Wang Qian and Li Kun didn't understand, but they followed Zhang's instructions. They were already very familiar with the procedure, so it only took them 15 minutes to pick up.
In the meantime, the female customer left without buying anything.
Zhang Zian told them to leave when they were done.
Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at each other. Li Kun said, ”Master, how come you look unhappy these days? Are you okay? Are you mad at us?”
Zhang Zian waved, ”Everything is fine. I have plans tonight. You guys can leave now.”
”Okay.” Although confused, Wang Qian and Li Kun left as told.
The male customer was slow. He kept wandering in front of the dog display cabinet and could not decide if he wanted to get a dog or not. Previously, Zhang Zian would not have rushed him; yet it was a special time and he wanted to close early.
Fina was resting on top of the tallest cat tree.
Old Time Tea was watching TV happily.
Galaxy was playing hide and seek with the other kittens and stayed away from the customer.
Everything looked extremely peaceful.
However, Zhang Zian could smell the uneasy tension in the air. It felt like the peace before a war.
He heard a squeaking noise outside the door.
A motor tricycle stopped at the store, which frightened Zhang Zian.
”Is Zhang Zian here? Your package!” The courier came in with a package.
”I am Zhang Zian.”
”Please sign here.”
”You are still working this late?” Zhang Zian said as he signed.
”Your package is the last one. I am going home after this.” The courier smiled and his face was filled with happiness when he talked about home.
Zhang Zian looked at the label. His name, address and phone number were all on there. However, he didn't recall purchasing anything online. The most important thing was that his online name was ”The Hottie.”
After Zhang Zian signed, the courier left and went home on his tricycle.
Zhang Zian opened the package with a knife.
To protect the goods inside, there were layers of packaging materials, bubbles and plastic wrap. When he finished unpacking, a beautiful ceramic tea tin was in front of him.
There was a handwritten note packed with the tea tin saying, ”The tea you are looking for. You can pay me back later.”
The signature was Xiao.
There was nothing else on the note. She didn't even mention the name of the tea.
Taking the tea tin, Zhang Zian quickly walked to Old Time Tea.
”Grandpa Tea, I got some tea from my friend. You want to try?” He murmured so the customer could not hear him.
Old Time Tea was excited. It kept nodding, ”Of course, of course. Let me smell it.”
Zhang Zian opened the tin. A refreshing smell came out.
”Great tea! My friend, this is great tea!” Old Time Tea started dancing with joy.
”Better than the one from Hidden Fog Tea House?”
”Well, it is not the same tea, but the quality is as good,” Old Time Tea confirmed.
