Chapter 398
During the day, the snow slowly melts at a speed that is invisible to the naked eye; at night, the melted snow water condenses into ice. Such a cycle will last throughout the winter.
There is a custom of "cat winter" in the north. Zhang Zi'an feels like he is in cat winter. The real cat Fina sleeps very long today. It is not a big deal, because yesterday's ballet echoed until midnight before stopping. It taught the four Abyssinian cats to dance, making themselves very tired. Today, there is a legitimate reason to make up for your sleep.
Even for the Abyssinian cat, known for its agile movements and graceful stances, it is very difficult to learn the ballet steps choreographed by Zhang Zi'an and Fina, which is much more difficult than the previous "8" and "Little Apple".
During this period, due to disagreement, he and Fina had several disputes over the movement arrangement, and of course, they all ended with Fina's victory. This was by no means Zhang Zian was weak and bullied, but Fina's reason that made him unable to refute that when it insisted, he said that the cat could do these actions; when it opposed it, he said that the cat could not do these actions...
The four Abyssinian cats were also miserable. They had just been running around for a whole day and had to learn difficult dance steps. They were all so tired that they stayed on the second floor with the other three today to make up for sleep.
Zhang Zi'an was half lying on the recliner, holding the bloodline left by Cathy in his hand and studying it carefully. Richard stood on his shoulder. If he encountered a word he didn't know, Zhang Zi'an asked it, in fact, there were more words he didn't know than he knew! Although he had to endure Richard's ridicule and teasing, there was no way. This guy was more effective than the Oxford Advanced Dictionary and could always explain a strange word in the form of a yellow joke...
Rather than saying that this is a bloodline, it is a breeding manual left by Cathy. It not only describes the previous breeding situation, as well as the body shape and fur color of the born kitten, but also looks forward to the future and writes down her thinking about the Abyssinian cat in her mind.
After more than ten years, the front part of the manual has become a little yellow, with clear and graceful handwriting, which is a very beautiful flower-style character. When the final look, the handwriting is a bit sloppy, and the content written is a bit confusing and contradictory, as if I had a premonition that my limit was approaching, and I was eager to convert all the mature and immature thoughts in my mind into words.
Despite this, the value of this manual is undoubtedly the most precious information for breeding chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats. Zhang Zi'an couldn't bear to destroy the original. After copying, he carefully saved the original and wrote down his doubts and experiences with a pen on the copy.
I only regretted that I had little time to use the book. Cathy should have known some knowledge of genetics, but Zhang Zian knew nothing about it. The content I learned in the middle school biology class had long been returned to the biology teacher. When he encountered something he could not guess thoroughly, he had to send a message to Sun Xiaomeng for advice. He only knew such a top student in related majors. Although Professor Wei Kang was knowledgeable, he focused more on the theoretical aspects.
One or two doesn't matter, just think it was Zhang Zi'an's whim. After he asked too much, Sun Xiaomeng obviously became suspicious because a pet store didn't need this knowledge at all, and some of them even needed to check the information to give a definite answer.
In this regard, Zhang Zian just explained that he planned to learn cat breeding knowledge systematically, but he is very idle now. No wonder Sun Xiaomeng suspected that he usually left many different impressions on others, but there is no such thing as "diligent and studious" in any case...
Zhang Zian once considered fostering these cats at Sun Yinian's pet home breeding base and breeding them on their behalf, which would save a lot of trouble, but immediately rejected his own ideas. Sun Yinian is very real, but when he handed the cat to him, he can only keep it true, but he cannot make progress. Cathy's efforts will be wasted and sooner or later he will be caught up by other Abyssinian cat breeders. In addition, Sun Yinian is very real, but his employees may not be real. With the temptation of appropriate money, it may be safer to keep these cats in their own hands.
Therefore, even if you can't understand this breeding manual, Zhang Zi'an could only read it with a tough bullet. Reading the book a hundred times will make it clear.
He used to think that breeding male cats should choose those who won awards in the competition and equate breeding grades with competition grades. It was not until he read this manual that many male cats with pure blood do not participate in the competition at all. If you choose breeding cats, just consider their bloodline and health. Kittens born from competition-level cats are often not as good as kittens born from breeding cats.
"Sir, I have already drawn it. Do you want to come and take a look?"
He was in a panic when Lu Yiyun sent him a message.
There is a soundproof automatic sensing door between the cashier she is located and the location where Zhang Zi'an is located. She doesn't want to shout loudly and often sends messages to communicate with Zhang Zi'an.
Zhang Zi'an put down the breeding manual and stretched his waist. He kept reading the information for a long time, and just moved his body. He came to the cashier, and Lu Yiyun turned the monitor to him, waiting for his evaluation nervously.
The seven vivid Abyssinian cats are lying or lying on the screen, and they are cute and have a very high level of painting. Although they are all chocolate-colored, she accurately grasps the characteristics of each one, making people look like they will never be confused.
"The painting is great!" Zhang Zian exclaimed.
Abyssinian cats are very cute, and Lu Yiyun is best at drawing cute girls in the second dimension. This is not because she likes to draw these, but because most of the illustration work she received is required in this way. She seems to have applied the two-dimensional animation method to these seven cats, slightly exaggerated their eyes size, adjusted their head and body proportions, and combined with the cute anthropomorphic movements, they look cute and cute without being too distorted!
Even Zhang Zian, who is not very interested in the second dimension, praised this painting and felt more and more that it was a big profit to hire Lu Yiyun. She was so talented that she was a cashier. Just for this picture, if you hire an unknown professional painter to paint, the price would not be less than 1,000.
In addition, he also noticed that in order to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing pictures, she also added an exquisite watermark signature to the base map, indicating the Qiyuan Pet Shop and her pseudonym Xinyun on the Internet.
Seeing that he was satisfied, Lu Yiyun breathed a sigh of relief carefully. Fortunately, she had painted her own jasmine before and had a better understanding of how to draw a cat, otherwise it would be unlikely that she would have painted it so quickly.
"Sir, store manager, then I'll send it to the official account? What's the name?" she asked in a low voice.
Zhang Zian has always had a headache about naming. When he first named Xinghai, he racked his brains and talked to choose a "big" name that satisfies it.
"You can do it." He pushed this trouble to Lu Yiyun.
Lu Yiyun thought for a while and suggested: "Or what about... what about the 'mysterious ancient elf Abyssinian cat'?"
"Yes." He decided, "That's it."
Lu Yiyun nodded and began to edit the article content of the official account. He introduced the characteristics of Abyssinian cats, emphasized that they are the latest member of the CFA family, and finally promoted that our store has introduced this rare cat, and everyone is welcome to come and buy it.
"Don't write 'buy'." Zhang Zi'an pointed out, "These cats will not be sold to the public for the time being, so it will be changed to 'visit'."
Lu Yiyun revised it as he said, and asked him to read it as a whole. He confirmed that there were no other omissions in words, so he posted the first official account article of Qiyuan Pet Shop.
Zhang Zi'an's mind was already drifting away. He stared at the shops across the road, thinking about the issue of breeding and delivery rooms.
