Chapter 12 Eating Grass 2
Zhang Cheng went home all the way, first went to the furniture market for a little walk, and had a brief introduction to his purchasing plan. Then he went to a more famous pet store street in Dongzhou City to buy a doghouse and special dog food for Xiao Huihui.
It’s okay to have a dog kennel. Anyway, Xiao Huihui will be at home rather than a yard in the future, so there is no need for any high-end dog kennel, just a similar one. Besides, Xiao Huihui is just a puppy, and there is no problem with any nest, so everything depends on Zhang Cheng’s preferences. What options can a single man have to raise a dog? It’s easy and cheap. Zhang Cheng saw a slightly decent dog kennel in his first store and bought it directly.
However, there are problems with dog food. In another world, Jiahui will handle all the problems of livestock, including horses and dogs. But here, Xiao Huihui's eating is a big problem. Speaking of which, what I brought back with packs yesterday has been almost eaten, and this little foodie has an amazing appetite. However, in this regard, even if you don't consider Xiao Huihui's special race issues, at least you can see that it is a body that is not much bigger than an ordinary puppy of the same age. It also has a trembling and thick fat on its body. This is baby fat, well, baby fat.
In fact, Xiao Huihui walks steadily now, and can run and jump. However, because of this fat body, she still feels like she is shaking and stumble when walking. Of course, such a puppy looks particularly cute.
The problem of choosing dog food is quite big. Zhang Cheng had already learned from the Internet that there were more than a dozen pet supplies stores here, and there were at least twenty or thirty kinds of dog food. Zhang Cheng himself knew nothing about this. To be honest, if he cooked every day, he would not consider the problem of dog food at all and left his leftovers to Xiao Huihui. But he had so much work, so where could he have the spare time to cook?
Zhang Cheng held Xiao Huihui in his arms. At night, this guy would be as hot as a hot water bag when he fell asleep, but his body temperature was normal during the day. Xiao Huihui opened his eyes wide, stuck out his tongue, and looked at the rows of dog and cat food on the shelves with interest.
The female salesperson in the pet supplies store is introducing various dog foods to Zhang Cheng. Although her introduction is very skillful, her way of speaking always reminds Zhang Cheng of Thomas. Finally, she suggested that Zhang Cheng buy a high-priced dog food, because this dog food is most suitable for Xiao Huihui, a weaned but underage puppy.
"The amount is too small." Zhang Cheng shook his head.
"This is not a big deal at all." The salesperson looked at the fat puppy. Although he could tell at first glance that he was a foodie, he was also a puppy who was only a few months old. In fact, as a salesperson, she knew this phenomenon very well: customers often refuse to shop because of some impulses that they couldn't explain clearly, but in order to make a rational point for their behavior, he would say some inexplicable reasons. This is a critical moment. If you give up at this moment, then everything will end here and the customer will leave soon. But if you can go further at this moment - to refute and convince customers, and at the same time, you must leave the customer with a step to step down and leave enough face - then congratulations, you will succeed. Customers will buy even in order to save face.
"It's still too little." Zhang Cheng replied. This dog food is really expensive. Although he spent a lot of money on traveling abroad this time, he even spent money on hunting with Thomas. But things like humans are affected by the environment - you see, people who spend a lot of money on buying a house and a car do not affect his bargaining with vendors at the vegetable market.
"Since you can't make a choice for the moment, why not ask your dog to make the choice?" said the salesperson. "Let it taste it. What's your dog's name?"
"It's called Xiao Huihui." Zhang Cheng replied. Yesterday, Lao Liu must have ordered food on purpose. Because he was taken away halfway, he left so many dishes to pack and take them back. However, these things were all reimbursed by Xiao Huihui. In fact, eating them is not a problem, but it is a bit too much to not spend it overnight.
While talking, the salesperson opened a box of dog food next to him and poured a full bowl of food. Xiao Huihui smelled the smell and his eyes lit up. It was just now obediently held by Zhang Cheng in his hand, but now it began to twist and want to land. Of course, the spiritual link of Master Lu also clearly felt Xiao Huihui's desire to eat.
"But I'm afraid it will eat too much." Zhang Cheng had no choice but to put Xiao Huihui down. Xiao Huihui rushed over without hesitation and began to eat dog food in big mouthfuls.
The salesperson put four other food bowls on the edge of Xiao Huihui, and each food bowl was poured with a kind of dog food that he had just introduced to Zhang Cheng. Xiao Huihui insisted on the principle without wavering, staring at the first food bowl without looking up. He kept chewing and chewing, according to the standards of a puppy, eating quickly and fiercely.
Through the spiritual link, Xiao Huihui asked Zhang Cheng if these food bowls were all for him to eat. Zhang Cheng sighed and told him that he could eat as long as he wanted.
At this time, another man came over next to him and said a few words to the salesperson in unknown dialect. The salesperson said to Zhang Cheng, "Please wait" and ran out immediately, not knowing what he was doing.
The salesperson turned out to go out to get the things. After a few minutes, she came back and the phone at the counter rang again. She had to go over and answer the phone first.
When she came back again, she saw that Xiao Huihui had finished her first food bowl and was eating the second one.
In five or six minutes, this pot of dog food was already eaten up... Xiao Huihui was working hard to attack the second food bowl. By the way, it was also unswerving and did not look at the other food bowls at all.
The second food bowl was just a random place, and the quantity was not comparable to the first food bowl. So Xiao Huihui finished eating quickly, and then walked towards the third food bowl with the same determination.
This scene is a bit unusual. In fact, let alone Zhang Cheng and the salesperson, several other customers in the store noticed the abnormality. One of them was obviously a child brought by his mother and said softly: "This puppy is really edible."
Xiao Huihui can indeed eat it. It eliminates the third food bowl in just one stroke and then goes to the fourth one.
This is simply a starving ghost reincarnation... Well, Zhang Cheng knows that this kind of accusation is unfair. After all, Xiao Huihui is not an ordinary dog, but a strange beast called "Fighting the Disaster". Not only that, because of the divine fire element, Xiao Huihui has even been ripened, and it is not surprising that it has the appetite of an adult dog.
The fourth food bowl was cleared, and Xiao Huihui's eating speed did not slow down at all, and he moved towards the fifth food bowl. In the eyes of everyone, he ate the fifth food bowl at the same efficient speed.
Even the salesperson was stunned. Except for the first food bowl, the other four food bowls were not full. But no matter how dissatisfied, it would be too much to deal with five in one go. This is not a large adult dog! This is a puppy with a weight of obviously no more than ten kilograms! This food is obviously abnormal. She was holding the dog food she had just planned to sell to Zhang Cheng. Logically speaking, she should pour some more feed the dog, but she didn't dare to look at Xiao Huihui's wind-swinging attitude.
"This..." Zhang Cheng wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start. The atmosphere in the store was very awkward. If he had known it, he wouldn't have tried it. He should have taken Xiao Huihui away.
"How much does this cost?" Zhang Cheng asked at the half box of dog food in the other party's hand. However, without the other party's answer, he had already seen the price tag on the shelves. He quickly paid the money and picked up Xiao Huihui and walked. After eating so much, Xiao Huihui's weight seemed to have not increased, and his belly was not particularly large. God knows where the food he had eaten.
When Zhang Cheng left this store, he could hear the discussions of people in the store from afar. Everyone was obviously shocked by the strength of the foodie. Zhang Cheng remembered that Jia was responsible for feeding Xiao Huihui before, and it seemed that this didn't happen?
Zhang Cheng looked at Xiao Huihui in his arms, and Xiao Huihui looked back with innocent eyes. Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that Xiao Huihui could actually control his appetite. This should be a certain ability. It can eat so much, or eat as little as an ordinary puppy.
"You can't eat so hard next time. Nodding to mean you understand." Zhang Cheng said. This was not through the spiritual link, but was said with your mouth. Xiao Huihui shook his head vigorously.
Zhang Cheng pinched Xiao Huihui's mouth with his hands and nodded several times in a row. "Okay, now you understand."
It was still the same as yesterday that I searched for news about the Great Wizard of Redstone. He now vaguely realized that because of Redstone, there seemed to be another craze about supernatural abilities. Not to mention the United States, there seemed to be many people in China discussing this topic enthusiastically. Some even expressed their desire to go to Redstone to learn from their masters.
With the doghouse, Xiao Huihui spent the whole night in the doghouse, and Zhang Cheng slept peacefully and comfortably.
After waking up the next day, after washing and breakfast, I took Xiao Huihui out to the horse farm. Just like yesterday, I could go directly to the door by calling a car. What was more surprising was that the coach was very enthusiastic - two coaches were waiting for him at the door. Actually, I really didn't feel anything yesterday, so today's enthusiasm is surprising. Could it be that they realized that Zhang Cheng has the potential to become a long-term member?
"Hello, Coach Xue." Zhang Cheng took the initiative to greet him. Coach Xue was his coach yesterday, and the other person next to him was wearing the same uniform, obviously also the coach of this equestrian club. It seems that the two people were specifically greeting him?
"Look, he's here." The colleague shrugged and teased.
"It's useless to come. What I said yesterday was 'practice'. He couldn't practice today..." That's what he said, but he was very weak and had no confidence. Because he had seen Zhang Cheng's steps and behavior, without any fatigue or illness. But yesterday he could clearly be sure that Zhang Cheng had twisted his waist!
"Come here to practice today?" The colleague took the initiative to say hello.
"Yes, I plan to practice for a whole morning." Zhang Cheng replied. "Is it okay to put my dog here?"
"No problem, just go to the front desk." Coach Xue had to admit that he had failed. He led Zhang Cheng all the way to the stable. When Zhang Cheng started to look at the horses, he walked to a horse, reached out to pick up a piece of grass from the pile of forage and held it in his mouth.
"Hey, are you also called eating grass?" the colleague asked with a smile.
"This is not called eating, what's it?" Coach Xue looked bored and chewed on the grass. Nowadays, horses eat all the best forage grass, all of which are special varieties and high-protein. But for humans, although this grass is fine after eating, it is really not delicious. No matter what grass tastes, it is astringent and sour, and it is difficult to get rid of it. But after saying it before, he could only frown and bite.
"So you've misunderstood." My colleague said with a smile. "I saw his back walking yesterday and knew he was fine."
"Damn, if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts!" He complained softly. This kid went back to wipe the help of Talin?
Zhang Cheng chose a horse with a hot personality, and then went to the front desk to host Xiao Huihui and paid the money.
Although this kind of equestrian learning is nominally the coach's full-process guidance, the coach's role is actually limited. After all, horse riding is actually more personal, similar to bicycles. It is done by repeated training to make people instinctively choose the right way. To put it bluntly, as long as you invest enough time, anyone can learn it. The coach can only give you the key points and protect you to a certain extent by the way.
Of course, different people have different personalities and different training processes. Ordinary people will choose horses with good personalities and drive them slowly, from slow steps from small steps to fast steps to Mercedes-Benz to the last hurdle and cross-country, so as to gradually master the horse skills. Zhang Cheng is obviously the wild and anxious type. He chooses a horse with a hot personality. The riding coach is actually not optimistic about this choice because the risks are greater. But after all, it is the customer who insists on it, so he can only accept it.
Of course, after all, the danger of riding a horse is limited. As long as you are not trampled by a frightened horse, there will be basically no danger. As long as you have soft grass under your feet, falling off the horse is not a big deal. Zhang Cheng is also the age that can withstand the beating.
"How are you practicing?" When Zhang Cheng was trying to control the horses a little far away, the colleague came to Coach Xue's side again.
"Why are you so free?" Coach Xue was obviously not very happy.
"Ha, I'm teaching a child who is spoiled and rests for ten minutes at any time. Of course I have time." My colleague looked at the scene and watched Zhang Cheng riding a horse boldly, and then, without surprise, was knocked off the horse by the mount.
"This is the third time." Coach Xue replied. "Damn, this guy named Zhang Cheng is really resistant to falling."
"He seemed to be in a hurry to learn how to ride a horse," the colleague replied.
"Who knows?" Coach Xue shrugged, "Do you want to bet with me again?" he asked.
"What are you betting on?"
"Betting that he won't come tomorrow!" Coach Xue pointed at Zhang Cheng, who had gotten up from the ground in the distance and stepped onto the horse again.
"What are you betting on? Eat grass?" the colleague replied with a giggle. "But if you lose this bet, you can't just eat a piece of grass. If you lose, you have to grab a handful of food. And the winner will grab a handful of food for the loser."
"Okay!" Coach Xue answered without hesitation. He knew that this time his colleague had definitely dug his own grave. Although this handful of grass was high in protein and non-toxic, it was definitely enough for you to suffer. As for winning or losing, he had absolute confidence. Zhang Cheng fell off the horse just now and was definitely injured - although he could still get up and get on the horse at this moment. But as long as he slept for one night, he would probably not even be able to sit on his butt tomorrow. Although it was not a big injury, it would not be healed in ten days.
It seemed that God thought he should win, because Zhang Cheng had just gotten on the horse, and suddenly the ringtone of his cell phone rang. When the mount was frightened, his butt was slammed and he threw Zhang Cheng, who had not yet sat firm, off the horse again.
