Chapter 412: Having Lunch Together
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Deng Jie first intended to buy a pet, she had inquired her friends, colleagues, and relatives. Everyone recommended different pets based on their own experiences. There was nothing wrong with these suggestions, it’s just that they hadn’t taken into account Deng Jie's actual situation.
There was no universal principle, nor was there any pet that could meet the needs of absolutely everyone — not even the ever-popular Ragdoll kittens. Selecting a pet should be based on one’s own preferences and situations, instead of following others’ choices recklessly. If a person bought a pet that was not his or her favorite, then the trouble it brought would outweigh the fun, and it would be abandoned or given away by the owner in the end.
Although Pekingese was a commonly seen breed, it was very suitable for Deng Jie, so Zhang Zian decisively recommended this dog to her. Besides, Pekingese dogs were very healthy, so little money would need to be spent on medical treatment. If Deng Jie still hesitated, there was nothing he could help her with. After being urged by Liu Wenying, Deng Jie finally decided to buy the pure white Pekingese. When this matter was finally settled, she was relieved at last.
In addition, she also bought the potty patch and other essential items for raising a dog. Although she did not intend to frequently bring the Pekingese downstairs to walk it in the neighborhood, she bought a leash just in case after being convinced by Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian explained that the leash could be used in places other than just the outdoors. When teaching the dog to develop the good habit of using the potty patch, the Pekingese could be tied to it until it finished its business. If the Pekingese relieved itself somewhere in the house other than in the puppy patch, she could also tie it beside the patch as punishment.
After all items were bought and the payment transfer was completed, Deng Jie lovingly held the Pekingese in her arms. Finally, she had bought a healthy dog.
Having been running around the shop the whole morning, Yue Yue was getting hungry and began to cause trouble. As lunch time was approaching, Liu Wenying invited Deng Jie to have lunch with her. She asked Deng Jie to leave the Pekingese in Zhang Zian’s shop and come back later to pick it up after the lunch. Deng Jie joyfully agreed.
When discussing where to eat, Zhang Zian recommended Uncle Li's store to them, saying that the food there was not only cheaper, but more sanitary than other restaurants, and that he had always bought food from there. When eating at restaurants with her daughter, cleanliness was the biggest concern for Liu Wenying, so she decided to check that place out.
Out of courtesy, they also invited Snowy to join them, but Snowy smiled and declined.
Snowy did not despise small restaurants — she used to find small, interesting restaurants as her live broadcast locations and had tasted so much delicious food in such places. She just was simply not interested in the topics that these women discussed at the dining table. Most importantly, she felt that the two ”enthusiastic” middle-aged women would certainly mention arranging blind dates for her… and she had been annoyed by such a topic from her parents at home enough already.
Zhao Qi wasn’t interested either. Carrying two barrels of cat food, she found an excuse to leave and left quickly.
Liu Wenying also bought two barrels of imported cat food for her friend. She decided to leave them in Zhang Zian’s shop and come back to bring them home after lunch.
It was nearly noon. Some customers had chosen their pets, while others hadn’t decided yet and would need to go home and think about it. Gradually, the crowd began to disperse, one person after another.
