While Vivi held the Siberian kitten, Masanori Suzuhara was choosing a bowl, cage, collar, and leash for Snoopy . The old Snoopy got all of these supplies from the lab, but this Snoopy belonged to her . She enjoyed being a dog owner and shopping for pet supplies . One problem she was facing was getting a dog-raising license due to its foreign identity, but she was confident to get it done .
Lu Yiyun gave her a shopping bag, which was customized and ordered online per Ting Ying's suggestion . The light-brown paper bag looked classy with the Amazing Fate Pet Shop's name, address, and telephone written on the front . The other side of the bag had a big QR code .
Masanori Suzuhara put all her items into the shopping bag, and soon filled up two bags . She also needed an air box for the pet .
Zhang Zian suggested eagerly, "Don't you need pet shampoo? One of the drawbacks of having a beagle is the smell . It needs to be bathed often, and human shampoo is not suitable for dogs . "
"Yes, I know that," Masanori Suzuhara answered with her head down . She glanced around the store and asked hesitantly, "Well, can I wash the dog in the shop?"
"Yes, you can . " Zhang Zian signaled for her to follow . He brought her to the pet showers and said, "Here are the showers, but as we're short-staffed, customers have to wash the pets on their own . "
It sounded legitimate, but so far only cat owners brought their cats here for a bath . Even if dog owners came, they left after realizing that they had to wash the dogs on their own .
Most cats hate getting wet, and cats weren't as obedient or affectionate as dogs, so forcing cats into a shower usually ended in both the cat and the owner getting hurt . However, customers could easily wash their hydrophobic cats because of Fina, so they were willing to pay to wash them on their own .
But, what about dogs?
Firstly, none of the elfins could control a regular dog . Second, dogs weren't afraid of water so it was easier to wash them . Most dog owners washed their dogs in the shop out of convenience, but if they had to pay to do it themselves, they'd rather wash the dogs at home . Who would throw away money like that?
The shower was for all pets, but it was mostly used for cats as nobody paid to wash the dogs .
If the Amazing Fate Pet Shop intended to start a dog washing service, it would need to hire extra people . Wang Qian and Li Kun only worked part-time, and they never stayed all day . Hiring people was a hassle . Who knew if the new employee would be reliable and honest?
So, Zhang Zian didn't intend to start dog washing, but it didn't stop him from playing cool .
He showed Masanori Suzuhara how to use the shower as if he were serious . Masanori Suzuhara looked surprised, she was a foreigner, not a fool . Who'd pay to wash their own dog?
"Do I have to wash it myself?" she asked for confirmation .
"Well, since our shop is short-staffed, you'll have to rely on yourself for now . Our great leader Mao once told us to rely on our own hands to get food and clothing," Zhang Zian uttered .
Masanori Suzuhara realized that he misunderstood her and clarified: "No, that's not what I meant . Have you heard of a 'dog washer'?"
"What?"
Zhang Zian couldn't believe his ears .
He's heard of a washing machine, but not of a dog washer .
Masanori Suzuhara put down Snoopy, and explained, "In Japan, we have a type of dog washer . All you need to do is put your dog inside and insert some coins . The machine sprays the dog with bubbles, rinses it off with warm water, and then dries the dog with warm air . It takes about half an hour, and the dog comes out fresh and clean . It also prevents the dog from getting a cold during the wash . "
There was such a magical gadget? Zhang Zian's world view changed once again .
All he could say was that the Japanese were using their talents in unthinkable areas .
Snowy fell into a trance . She couldn't imagine what a dog washer looked like, and envisioned a dog rolling in a washing machine .
"Since it's called a dog washer, does that mean that it can't wash cats?" Snowy asked with curiosity .
Since winter started, Snowball bathed less often because the shower room was too hot with the door closed, but too cold with the door open . Her mother didn't want her to take Snowball over for a bath, fearing that her hands would get frostbite after getting wet and being blown on by the wind .
"In theory," Masanori Suzuhara replied, "but dogs are obedient and calm in the shower . Cats hate water so they always jump in the machine, leaving scratchmarks, so very few people use the machine to wash cats . "
Zhang Zian and Snowy thought of a possibility at the same time .
"Mr . Store Manager, you can buy two washers, one for cats, and one for dogs," Snowy suggested .
"Yes!" Zhang Zian agreed, thinking it feasible .
Try to imagine this, two washers side by side, one for dogs and one for cats . The owners sitting and chatting, and the shop offering them drinks . After half an hour, the washer door would open . Cats and dogs would jump out of the machines, clean and fresh . The owners would take their pets and say goodbye . It'd be so classy .
With such a novel gadget, people would surely be willing to pay to try it out . They'd probably get away with the fact that it'd more expensive than manual washing .
Zhang Zian roughly calculated in his head . The shower time was half an hour . If he considered commercial water and power consumption, plus the cost of the machine and the maintenance fees, he may not make much money . However, it was a new service and grabbed people's attention . It'd bring a lot of customers into the shop .
The qyestion was, where could he buy the washer?
He picked up his phone and resorted to the omnipotent Taobao .
You could find tanks, aircraft carriers, and even star destroyers with free shipping on Taobao . After numerous searches, he couldn't find the dog washer Masanori Suzuhara described .
Running out of options, he asked Masanori Suzuhara, "Miss Suzuhara, do you know where I can buy those dog washers?"
"Well . . . " Masanori Suzuhara thought about it and answered regretfully, "all I know is the machines are sold in Japan . Whether they're sold in other countries, I'm not sure . "
Zhang Zian scratched his head . If he couldn't find the washer on Taobao, would he have to buy them from Japan? He didn't know Japan at all . Where could he find it? Plus, they might not even sell it to him .
Wasn't there a Japanese girl standing in front of him?
He spoke boldly, "Miss Suzuhara, I'd like to find out which company in Japan sells this magical dog washer . Could you please help me with the search when you have some time? If you could give me the company's name, website or email, that'd be great . Of course, a phone number would be best . "
Since he didn't know Japanese and couldn't write in Japanese, it'd be best if they called him . Then, he could ask Richard to talk to them for him . If they sent an email, he'd have to rely on Google Translator .
To his surprised, Masanori Suzuhara answered without hesitation, "No problem . This is easy . My medical school has been coordinating with a biomedical company that makes dog washers . I can contact them for you . "
Zhang Zian was thrilled . It'd be awesome if Masanori Suzuhara could help him since she was from Japan and was a medical student . If she reached out to that company, they might even offer a discount .
He said politely, "Thank you so much . It won't be too much trouble for you? I won't charge you for this beagle . It'll be my token of appreciation for your help . "
Yu Yiyun was about to print the receipt and the pet sales agreement . She stopped after hearing Zhang Zian .
The online followers knew what kind of person Zhang Zian was, and blasted with tons of bullet screen .
"Mr . Stingy suddenly being generous? Is this the same shop manager that I knew?"
"Being generous without a cause, he must be after something!"
"If he didn't need help from this Japanese girl, would Mr . Stingy still be generous?"
"Well said!"
Zhang Zian completely ignored the bullet screens . He had nothing to lose anyway .
"No! No! How could I accept?" Masanori Suzuhara declined . It might be a hassle for Zhang Zian, but a small task for her . She only needed to connect with her contacts .
In addition, she was grateful that Zhang Zian kept the only beagle in the shop for her . This beagle resembled Snoopy a lot, they seemed to come from the same litter . After she saw that Small Monkey also wanted this beagle, she had secretly given up hope . However, Zhang Zian chose to sell it to her instead of Small Monkey . How could she not pay for it?
Zhang Zian needed a favor from her . They went back and forth . In the end, to make the receipt easier, Zhang Zian told Lu Yiyun to charge her one dollar and gave her the pet sales agreement . The pet supplies that she picked were also offered as gifts .
Masanori Suzuhara thanked him repeatedly, promising to take good care of this beagle personally . She would contact the lab seniors as soon as she got back to the international student residence .
