The stewed beef with potato satisfied everyone. After licking clean their own bowls, Famous and the two police dogs kept staring at the pot on the table. Zhang Zian had taught others how to tell whether their dogs were full to avoid overeating, so he certainly would not make a similar mistake. Besides, the filming for that day required a great amount of exercise, so eating too much and exercising afterwards would be bad for the dogs’ bowels and stomachs.
Snowy Lionet had been waiting impatiently for a long time. It had tried everything from threatening to begging Zhang Zian just to get what it wanted. Zhang Zian couldn’t stand it anymore. He asked Lu Yiyun to help him washed the bowls, and he went upstairs to fetch the raw beef brisket.
After buying a bag of raw beef brisket last night, he divided it in two portions, leaving half in the fridge for the next meal, and the other half thawing outside. Most of the thawed beef brisket had been stewed, with a small amount of raw beef saved for the cats.
The raw beef brisket he bought was too large, and it would be better for the cats if it was diced. He was not good at using knives, so the beef cubes he cut were of different sizes. He put the beef cubes into two bowls.
When he came downstairs, Snowy Lionet couldn’t wait any longer and went to greet him. Noticing that Lu Yiyun was still washing bowls in the pet washing area, Zhang Zian bent over to put the smaller bowl on the ground and teased Snowy Lionet, ”Here you go. Remember to be grateful. Say a few words quietly in your mind, such as ‘Thank God, he gave us food and made us alive, Amen!’”
He placed a copy of Xinhua Dictionary underneath the bowl, so that the bowl was at a good level to prevent Snowy Lionet’s long hair from getting messy, thus letting Zhang Zian avoid having to clean it later.
”Bah! You wish! You are just my servant, and I loathe you because you are a man!” Snowy Lionet spit. It suddenly saw the bigger bowl of beef, and it asked greedily, ”What’s that big bowl of beef for? Why don’t you give it to me?!”
”Can you eat that much? This is for other cats.” Zhang Zian rolled his eyes at it. Then he evenly divided the beef in the big bowl into smaller bowls and waved towards the seven Abyssinian cats.
”Tut!” Snowy Lionet grunted in dissatisfaction. But then it lowered its head into its bowl and started to gobble up the beef. Zhang Zian was intrigued by this. He did not know that Snowy Lionet liked eating raw beef so much. If he wanted it to do something in the future, perhaps he could use raw beef to lure it ...
The seven Abyssinian cats had adapted to the life in the pet shop, and he had prepared to give them a boost of nutrition so that several of them could give birth to the next generation at the right time. Currently, they were forcibly bound by Fina's order that they were not allowed to practice ”intermarriage,” otherwise when different sexes were being raised together, they would have copulated long time ago.
When Lu Yiyun returned after washing the dishes, Zhang Zian asked her about the situation yesterday. It was lucky that everything was fine, with no troubles or difficult customers. Because he was outside, he hadn’t seen Little Celery much. According to Lu Yiyun, Little Celery came every day, but was a little disappointed not seeing Zhang Zian around.
Zhang Zian promised Little Celery that he would go to see her program at her school’s founding anniversary. But he was busy recently, for he had unexpectedly begun to participate in shooting Dog Warrior. He hoped that the day of her school’s founding anniversary was not soon.
