Chapter 601 Go to the Forbidden City to Help Deng Lisong Choose a Cat Cub! Dundun: I Finally Have a Little Brother! 【Additional Update 9】
At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Guofu drove up and picked up Han Shuzhen, who had just gotten off work, and went to the store to have dinner.
"You can't drink too much."
Han Shuzhen in the passenger seat muttered to Lao Shen.
"No, no, I don't necessarily drink it. Even if I do, it's just a drink to get a little tipsy to relieve fatigue."
When Lao Shen was talking, Director Han turned away, grabbed a handbag from the back seat, opened it, and took out a bottle of 2007 Luzhou Laojiao.
"Having a whole bottle of wine like that doesn't look like you're having a drink."
"Hey, I was busy, so I just picked up a bottle."
Lao Shen kept looking at the co-pilot with his eyes, fearing that Director Han might accidentally drop the bottle of wine. Although the wine was not expensive, the stock was at the bottom. If he dropped it, today's drink would not be perfect.
Fortunately, Han Shuzhen put the bag on the back seat again and said:
"Yueyue, Xiaoxu and Xiaoyan are going to ride a bicycle to the Ginkgo Garden on the weekend. Let's go too and exercise with the young people so that we don't have to eat all the time."
Once the drinking is approved, Lao Shen can discuss everything else.
He smiled and said:
"No problem, let's see how I can leave you behind. Don't say I won't let you go."
As long as you can drink, let alone ride a bicycle, even running is no problem.
Anyway, it’s just empty talk right now. As for whether it can be fulfilled, we’ll have to wait until the weekend.
Speeding all the way, the couple soon arrived at Yingchun Street on the North Fourth Ring Road.
After parking the car firmly in the parking space of Linji Food, Tan Yajun also arrived in the Audi driven by Yuan Fei.
In order to prevent his wife from being allowed to drink, Lao Shen specifically notified Tan Yajun in advance to come and join him.
But what he didn't expect was that Han Shuzhen agreed wholeheartedly, which made Shen Guofu's behavior unnecessary. At this moment, he wanted to say to Lao Tan:
"This is none of your business. You should go back first."
After parking the car, Tan Yajun also opened the door and got out of the car.
He looked at Shen Guofu and said with a smile:
"It's out of character, why do you suddenly think of drinking?"
Lao Shen said:
"It's not the first lunar month yet. It's the new year before the first lunar month. I'd like to discuss with you how to find a place to get a haircut on the second day of February when the dragon raises its head. Since the dragon raises its head, we have to be energetic."
Tan Yajun said:
"You decide. Anyway, I haven't been on a business trip recently, so I always have time."
Years ago, the audit office was very busy, but now he finally has free time. He plans to enjoy good food and wine to make up for the regret of not being able to eat in the restaurant years ago.
When we walked into the store, the employees had already had dinner.
There are already guests in twos and threes in the hall.
When Han Shuzhen went to hug Dundun, Lao Shen took the wine and went to the second floor with Tan Yajun, planning to order some meat dishes that he could not usually eat while Director Han was not upstairs.
For example, greasy dishes such as Hongyun Pork Pork and Dongpo Pork that melt in your mouth.
However, when they came upstairs, they saw Cui Qingyuan and the others taking pictures around something on the table. Geng Lele was even eating a piece of black stuff.
This made Lao Shen a little curious:
"What are you doing here?"
Cui Qingyuan turned his face and saw that it was Shen Guofu who was coming, and there was a little more sympathy in his eyes:
"Look at Big Lieba, I didn't expect the shell of this thing to be so hard. Boss Shen, do you really want to eat this thing to lose weight? This is a bit masochistic."
Lao Shen was a little surprised.
What is this and what?
When did I say I wanted to eat Leba to lose weight?
Wait...Leba?
Geng Lele said:
"It's not that it tastes bad. It's quite interesting to chew. If it's more dessert, it's more fragrant, and if there are more nuts, it'll be even more interesting."
While she was talking, Chen Yan also picked up a piece and tasted it:
"Don't tell me, it's really chewy. If you take a piece after your meal, it will make you feel full."
Chen Yuanyuan, who was off work, complained:
"Did you think of this as a snack?"
Shen Guofu's mood for drinking immediately disappeared. He walked over and saw the big, round figure on the table. He turned to look at Shen Jiayue and asked:
"Did Lieba make it?"
"Yes, I was worried that it would delay your weight loss, so I asked Xubao to make it in advance. How about it, dad, am I great?"
Shen Guofu didn't want to talk, he just wanted to beat his daughter.
At this moment, Lin Xu happened to come out of the kitchen. When he saw his father-in-law coming, he said:
"Lieba is made. You can try it. It should be good to eat with various fat-reducing salads. But for the details, it depends on how my mother prepares it."
Shen Guofu didn't expect that it would be Lieba who greeted him.
His fantasy of drinking and eating meat along the way was so disillusioned.
Tan Yajun was very interested in this stuff. He picked up a piece and tasted it:
"That's good. Lao Shen, how about you share half of it with me? I really like eating this kind of chewy bread. I even bought it last time, but it's not hard enough and it's not as enjoyable as this one."
"That's all for you. You are a guest and you have to follow the guests."
While Shen Guofu was mumbling, Wei Qian came out of the kitchen carrying a casserole:
"Hello, Boss Shen. You can help us check our new braised mutton with skin on the skin. Later, we will also have the boss's new mustard white meat and red braised beef. What else are there to eat? We will prepare it now."
Looking at the ruddy-colored and trembling mutton with skin in the casserole, Lao Shen's happiness finally returned.
He opened his handbag, took out the wine inside, and said to Cui Qingyuan:
"Professor Cui, come on, let's have a drink together. Even if we eat leba, we have to wait until tomorrow. Today, while taking advantage of this table of food and wine, I will hold a ceremony to abstain from alcohol and meat."
Let's eat well first and then worry about tomorrow.
Besides, it is indeed time to lose weight. Turn the fat on your body into muscles. Not only will you be healthy, but you will also look more energetic.
In this case, let's have another big meal today, and start tomorrow to be a new person.
After a few people sat down, wine was poured out, and the white meat with mustard made by Lin Xu was also brought out.
Lao Shen first picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth:
"Have fun! Come, come, drink, drink."
Lin Xu saw that his father-in-law was in a high mood and did not look like he was stimulated, so he went to the kitchen to get busy.
As for the piece of riba, since Mr. Tan wants it, let’s split it into two parts later. Next time, make a smaller one, make more, and share some with him.
Han Shuzhen came upstairs and was quickly attracted by the big Lieba.
She picked up a piece and tasted it, praising Lin Xu's craftsmanship.
To lose weight, you have to eat like this.
While she was eating, the beef stew was also brought out. She went to taste it, asked for a bowl of rice, ate a bowl with the beef stew soup, and then started to make meal arrangements on her mobile phone schedule.
To make Leba, you need to eat moderately and healthily.
It just so happens that the New Year is over and it’s time to start exercising again.
In the following days, Lin Xu made some more ribs, adding more flavors and types of nuts, trying to make the food more delicious for his father-in-law.
The dental examination in the store has also been completed. Many people thought it didn't matter at first, but when they saw the photos of Shi Wenshan's teeth repaired, they were still shocked.
After Deng Lisong's hard work day and night, Dundun's statue was finally completed.
The little guy is wearing a bow tie and looks like he is squatting in a lifelike manner. Not only does he look very impressive, but he also looks like a British gentleman.
"beautiful!"
After hearing about this, Cai Sen specially squeezed in time to come over and help take pictures, and even asked Dundun to squat with the statue in a bow tie to take a photo.
"Master Deng's craftsmanship is incredible. The carving is exactly the same as Dundun's."
This was simply a surprise. The more Lin Xu looked at it, the more he liked it.
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"Xubao, where is the best place to place this statue?"
Lin Xu said:
"When you open a branch, let's put it on the counter of the branch. No matter where we open a branch in the future, we will put up jade carvings as the corporate symbol of Linji Food."
"Where to put it now? Just put it at home?"
It’s a bit wasteful to decorate your home.
Lin Xu thought about it carefully and felt that it would be more appropriate to place it in the temple on Longshou Mountain. It was a small temple anyway, so it didn't matter if the statue of Dundun was placed in it, just for fun.
By the way, there is a little surprise for tourists who come in to worship God.
Dundun is now also an internet celebrity cat. He is also very unique and has many fans and fans.
If someone recognizes Dundun's sculptures in an inconspicuous small temple in a scenic spot, they will be very excited and proud at that moment.
Well, just think of it as a little surprise for fans.
And if Dundun's statue plays a role in attracting wealth, the business of the scenic spot will probably go up to a higher level.
Mom and dad are coming here to tidy up the ginkgo garden soon. When they leave, let them take the statue back and try placing it on the mountain. Anyway, there will be no disadvantages.
Deng Lisong yawned a little tiredly:
"Finally, I have lived up to expectations and successfully made this jade carving. The quality of the jade material is very good, very delicate, and there are no impurities. Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth."
It should go smoothly, after all, Dundun can continue carving by just adding a lucky buff.
The more Lin Xu looked at the statue, the more satisfied he became. Deng Lisong's craftsmanship was truly amazing.
After taking the photo, Cai Sen put the camera away, looked at the two people and asked:
"Aren't you going to the Forbidden City to choose a cat? When are you going? How about now? I'm going to take outdoor photos in the afternoon. I've made several appointments."
Lin Xu didn't have any objections. He looked at Deng Lisong:
"Master Deng, are you going now? If you go, you can take Dundun to the Forbidden City to see the world. The little guy just walked around the area last time and didn't have much fun at all."
Deng Lisong was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to deal with outsiders, but the idea of raising a cat became more and more intense. In the past few days, he had even bought tens of thousands of yuan in cat supplies.
Cat castle, Babel pillar, cat funny stick, cat toys, self-stimulating ball, teething stick, cat litter box, spare cat litter box, cat litter, cat nest, imported cat food, imported cat cans, cat scratching board, sisal blanket …
Anyway, Dundun has everything, and Deng Lisong is basically ready.
Now I'm just waiting for the cat owner to come into the house.
So even though he was a little reluctant, he still agreed for the sake of the cat:
"Okay... okay, I'll go change my clothes."
Soon, he got into the new Land Rover Defender driven by Cai Sen and led Lin Xu's family of three to the Forbidden City to select a cat cub.
In fact, when he came to the Forbidden City to restore jades two days ago, he took a special look and did not see any kittens suitable for adoption. Instead, he saw Papa grabbing food from other kittens.
In the past, Papa was the timidest cat, but with the continuous feeding from tourists, he not only grew fatter and stronger, but also became bolder.
Stealing food, beating accomplices, and even yelling at tourists,
From a fisherman who let others bully him, he gradually grew into a bully.
Except for Ruyi, basically no one is afraid, and the cat design has completely collapsed.
When he arrived, Deng Lisong was worried that his trip would be in vain. Although there were hundreds of royal cats in the Forbidden City, he could not see many of them on a daily basis, and it was even rarer to meet a cat with a special eye.
But Lin Xu kept encouraging him to come.
With Dundun here, it is not difficult to meet a beautiful and strong cat cub, and this is the blessing of being a young master in a wealthy family. No matter which cat you choose, it will be the peak of its cat life.
Come to an inconspicuous side entrance of the Forbidden City, drive in, and you will find the Cultural Relics Restoration Center.
As soon as he got off the bus, Lin Xu saw Deng Lisong's parents, both of whom looked like researchers. They were still wearing work clothes and were obviously working.
Everyone greeted each other, and after greetings, Deng Lisong explained the purpose of his visit to his mother.
"Son, do you want to raise a cat? What a coincidence. Today, several litters of kittens born before New Year's Day came to play in our yard. They are eating steamed egg yolks in the warehouse right now."
Deng Lisong's mother was talking when she noticed Dundun being held by Shen Jiayue:
"Oh, what a beautiful kitten, she's actually wearing a bow tie, she's so cool!"
Dundun called out softly:
"Meow~~~~~"
"Hey, you still know how to say hello. No wonder our Xiaosong suddenly became obsessed with raising cats. Who wouldn't like such a sensible kitten?"
She scratched Dundun's chin, and then led a few people towards the warehouse.
Soon, a dozen kittens led by female cats appeared in front of everyone. Several female cats were licking the egg yolks on the plates, but the kittens had obviously finished eating and were washing their faces.
These kittens are all Chinese pastoral cats, with a full range of colors, including sea cucumber-like gray civet cats, yellow civet cats, orange cats, three-flowered cats, cows, pure black and other colors.
From this point of view, the colors of cat parents are also very mixed.
In the sunshine, these two-month-old kittens look like balls of glutinous rice cakes, and they look particularly cute.
Deng Lisong licked his lips and had the urge to take them all away.
However, it is better to be cautious when raising a cat for the first time.
He looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Boss Lin, how should I choose this cat?"
This question really stumped Lin Xu. He didn't understand this. When he picked up Dundun, he didn't even know that the cat needed a litter box to go to the toilet.
But after all, after raising cats for so long, I still have some thoughts:
"Choose the strongest one. A stronger cat will be more lively, have a better personality, and will not be so heavy-minded. If you choose a thin cat, it will be heavy-minded and have many ideas. Sometimes a single oversight can spread the stress."
Most cats have feline coronavirus in their bodies. These viruses usually only exist in the intestines and are not harmful. However, when cats are stressed and their resistance is greatly reduced, the virus will go to the abdomen to cause trouble, and then it becomes... Pet owners talk about the disgraceful cat.
Of course, cat-to-abdominal transmission is no longer an incurable disease. As long as you insist on taking 441 injections, it can basically be cured.
Lin Xu remembers that a cat named "Xiong Zai" in the pet group suffered from cat-to-cat transmission. However, due to his owner's persistence in getting injections, he not only fully recovered, but also grew very strong.
After hearing this, everyone began to select strong kittens.
At this moment, Dundun suddenly jumped down from Shen Jiayue's arms and slowly approached the group of kittens.
When several female cats saw Dundun, they purred and threatened Dundun not to come close.
When the female cat was bringing the kittens, no male cat was allowed to get close to the kittens, but Dundun didn't take it seriously. She meowed twice, her attitude was very friendly, and then started playing with the kittens.
Seeing this scene, Cai Sen couldn't help but raise his camera:
"Did our Dundun graduate from Maode College, majoring in early childhood education? He actually became close to the kittens so quickly. Even if the kittens' biological father comes, he can't do it, right?"
Dundun, who is playing right now, really looks like a kindergarten teacher.
But the fat body seems a bit out of place.
It played with the kittens and soon raised its paw and patted a cow cat on the head.
This cat is quite strong, especially its four legs, which are a little thicker than its companions, which is more in line with the requirements of being strong.
Then Dundun clicked on the head of another Sanhua.
This cat has two colors on its head and a large area of white on its body. One of its front legs has an orange cat pattern, making it look like a "flower-armed guy" with arms covered in embroidery.
Both cats are very strong and willing to play with Dundun.
They rolled, chased, and jumped together... They had a lot of fun, and Dundun acted like a male mother, which made Lin Xu very suspicious that the little guy had seen too many bears recently, and whether he had developed a maternal instinct.
Just as he was thinking about it, Dundun played more and more crazily with the two kittens, then broke away from the team and gradually left the sight of the mother cat... This little guy actually abducted someone else's child!
Cai Sen recorded this scene with his camera, his hands trembling with excitement.
Who would have thought that the new male mother in the kindergarten is a personal trafficker... Oh no, it should be a cat dealer. Who would have thought that Dundun is a cat dealer who abducts underage cats?
The two kittens didn't notice at all that Dundun had taken them away from the team, and they were still chasing each other and playing with each other.
After running to a place far away from the warehouse, Lin Xu chased after him. Deng Lisong and Cai Sen each held a kitten.
Cai Sen was holding Sanhua. He gently touched the kitten’s flowery arm and said:
"I've wanted to get a tattoo on my arm for a long time, but unfortunately my mother doesn't agree. Isn't it too much to have a cat with an arm now?"
Deng Lisong held the cow cat. He felt that the cat was black and white and very similar to his inner world. Dundun had simply found the cat of his dreams.
Deng Lisong’s mother said:
"Now that you have found the kitten, go back quickly. If the mother cat finds out, she will scream miserably."
After hearing this, several people drove away. In order to prevent the two kittens from being scared, Dundun also took the initiative to go to Cai Sen's car and continue to play his role as a male mother.
Dundun: What a meow, I got two little brothers today!
