22 Daily Mission 3 ? (1/2)
After coming home with the groceries, Zhao Yao began to rinse the meat and prepared the dishes while Matcha had a look of melancholy in his eyes.
Zhao Yao decided to use tap water to steam the meat in order to minimise the loss of nutrients since cats do not consume food with a lot of seasoning.
After the meat was cooked, Zhao Yao minced the beef and chicken together. Then, he added quail eggs and cauliflower into the pot.
Over an hour later, a simple meal for Matcha was finally ready to be consumed.
Zhao Yao referred to BOOK to grade the mushy meal prepared by him.
”Only basic grade?”, Zhao Yao mumbled while touching his chin. ”There should be enough meat, what is the meal lacking?”
Zhao Yao went to look up the internet again and realized that most people prepare meals for their cats using fresh ingredients, the same way as he did. If a comparison was to be done for the protein content of the meal, it should be much higher than most manufactured cat food.
He studied various cat food nutritional labels online and found out what was missing from his meal.
”Hmm, taurine, vitamins, micronutrients…?” Zhao Yao frowned and said, ”I’m afraid I’m lacking these.”
Matcha climbed over the kitchen’s glass door and stared intently at the pot of cat food while inhaling deeply as if he was trying to smell the aroma of the steamed meat. Mango looked at Zhao Yao and the food that he had prepared with a look of desire in his big and round eyes.
From a distance, Elizabeth looked at the two cats in disdain.
Although she did not look at the cat food, her nose involuntarily twitched.
Zhao Yao shook his head while looking at the two cats outside and said, ”No, it’s not ready yet. Please wait for a little longer.”
”If I wait any longer, I’ll starve to death!” Matcha protested, ”Let me have a bite, just a bite! Even if I starve, my kitten must eat.” He tapped Mango, looked at Elizabeth and said, ”Elizabeth hasn’t eaten anything the whole night.”
”Do not drag me into this, I am not as greedy as you.”, Elizabeth said with discontentment.
”Okay, I will let all of you eat when I get back.”, Zhao Yao said helplessly as he saw saliva dripping down from the corner of Elizabeth’s mouth.
As it pertained the daily mission, Zhao Yao did not agree to let them eat. He immediately locked the food in the bedroom and planned to leave the house to buy some vitamin tablets for the cats.
As Zhao Yao exited from the small district, he drove towards Starry Starry pet hospital as he thinks that the hospital should sell vitamin tablets for cats.
As he walked into the hospital, the nurse in the front counter exclaimed, ”Mister, you’re here?”
”What is it with the stray cats this time?
”I am here to buy something; do you sell vitamins for cats?” Zhao Yao said as he smiled.
”You mean nutrition powder?” The nurse blinked and said, ”What do you plan to do with it? Add it to cat food? Just for everyday consumption or is it because a cat has fallen ill?”
Zhao Yao said, ”I am preparing a meal for my cats and I found out that it is best to add this to increase the nutritional value of the meal.”
The nurse’s eyes gleamed, ”In that case, hold on, I will get a few packets for you. Cats require various vitamins, taurine, calcium, etc.”
While talking, the nurse ran out of the hospital, leaving Zhao Yao alone at the counter.
After a few minutes, the nurse did not return. However, Dr. Liew came into the hospital instead, wearing heels with a white coat and a pair of black stockings.
Her emotionless face soon beamed with excitement as she saw Zhao Yao; greeting him with a brilliant smile.
”’Boss Zhao, you’re here?”
”Call me Zhao Yao instead.” Zhao Yao’s mouth twitched as he replied, feeling embarrassed by the way she addressed him.
”Zhao Yao, I heard you want to buy some nutrition powder?”
Dr. Liew stared at him with her sparkling eyes and said, ”You must be preparing a meal for your cats. In that case, you have to include nutrition powder, especially taurine; cats need large amounts of taurine every day. This is beneficial to their vision, immunity, organs, and heart.”
”Alright, just recommend me some then.” Zhao Yao replied while waving his hand, as he witnessed how passionate Dr. Liew was.
