Chapter 712: A Fellow Business in Germany

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Germans were fond of more than just dogs––they also loved keeping other animals as pets.

Germany was home to a large number of pets. In fact, one in three families owned a pet. Domestic cats were the most popular pet of choice, numbering 8 million in total, followed by pet dogs––despite the fact that any breed of dog could be seen wandering on the street––numbering 5 million. The remaining pets numbered about 5 million, and included rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs.

Zhang Zian took Famous and walked towards where the person had pointed. The other elfins followed him, looking around with curiosity.

Before they had walked a long distance, they came across a multifunction pet store. It was a massive building with two floors and was almost as big as a medium-sized supermarket. Zhang Zian's shop was almost a slum compared to this one.

They walked into the shop and found a multitude of pet products. Although Zhang Zian worked in the same business, he didn't even know the function of some of the products.

The staff in the store wore uniforms and were all very busy. He began to wander around the shop, as nobody came up to greet him.

He walked in front of a shelf and could not read the German words listed on the item. ”What is this?” he whispered to Richard.

”Let me see…” It was warm in the shop. Richard jumped out of Zhang Zian's hoodie and onto his shoulder. It bent down to stare at the shelf.

”Quack! This is cat food!” Richard said. ”There are different kinds on each row––some for domestic cats, some for stray cats, and some for half-domestic cats. They also include some for healthy and allergy prone cats. They all look nice.”

”What?” Zhang Zian was astonished to hear this. ”There is specialized food for stray cats?”

He was so astonished by the products in the German pet market. They specifically prepared a type of food for stray cats by enhancing certain nutrients because of the diet that stray cats had. Since there were manufacturers willing to make it, there were surely customers willing to buy it. Stray cats in Germany were so fortunate.

Half-domestic cats were those that returned home for meals, but spent the rest of the day playing outside. Many families had their own yard, after all.

Next to the cat food shelf was a shelf of snacks. There were plastic containers of various colors on the shelf and a small plastic scoop in each container so the customers could get any portion they needed.

There was a large variety of snacks, including sandwich biscuits, colorful beans, doughnut-shaped cookies, and bone-shaped cookies. All were freshly baked, radiating warmth and aroma. If they were not found in a pet shop, Zhang Zian would surely think that these were snacks for human consumption. They weren't very cheap, either. Each snack was around three euros per kilo.

Next to the snack shelf were rows of pet supplies, such as transportation cages, cat bags, bells, combs, trimmers, and so on, all in varied sizes and styles. It was amazing how many items there were.

Zhang Zian picked up a leash and looked at the price. This ordinary leash was no more than 30 RMB in his shop, but it was 30 euros in this shop.

He put the leash back, feeling envious of the fellow businessmen in Germany. The people were all so dumb and rich.

He turned his head back towards the elfins only to realize that Famous was not following him but was staring at something on the shelf.

Zhang Zian walked towards Famous and found that it was staring at a row of sunglasses. The sunglasses were designed for dogs, with vibrant colors and cool styles. Each dog would turn into a fashion professional after putting them on.

”Famous, would you like a pair?” he bent down and asked.

Famous licked its lips and said with envy, ”Pi's glasses look very nice.”
