1741 Chapter 1740-harvest
Golden autumn.
It was a sunny day.
At this time, primary school students would be assigned homework or essays by their teachers. There would often be a fill-in-the-blank question in the homework, or a sentence often appeared in the composition written by primary school students with tender writing.”Autumn is the season.”
A few days ago, Zhang Zian happened to see this fill-in-the-blank question in little celery’s homework, which evoked his childhood memories. He had done this question when he was in primary school, and the answer he wrote was exactly the same as little celery ‘s. Autumn was the harvest season.
It was a very common answer, but it would definitely get her points.
However, if he were to fill it out now, he would definitely write that autumn is the electricity-saving season. To hell with the score!
He couldn’t help but feel guilty when he thought of himself when he was a child, shouting to turn on the air conditioner when it was a little hot. He didn’t know how expensive water and electricity were. Now, in addition to the cost of buying kittens and puppies in the Pet Shop and aquarium, the biggest daily expense was the electricity bill, followed by the water bill. The price of commercial water and electricity was double that of residential water and electricity. Every time the electric bill came out, he would be so excited that he would have a heart attack.
In the summer, they had to turn on the air conditioner, and in the winter, they had to turn on the electric heater. Only in spring and autumn did they need to turn on anything, and the door was open for ventilation.
“When one side is in trouble, all eight sides will come to help! This is the donation collected by everyone. Today, I will transfer all the donation to Mr. Store manager and ask him to buy disinfection and epidemic prevention drugs for the stray cats and dogs in Binhai city. “
Snowy held up a sign with a four-digit number written on it. In front of the phone camera, she solemnly handed the sign to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian took the sign.”Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the stray cats and dogs in Binhai city. I will ask snowy to publish the detailed purchase list of the medicine on her Weibo and the public account of our store. I guarantee that it will be open and transparent.”
The money had already been transferred to him. Today was just a small ceremony to let the enthusiastic netizens know that the money he had donated had been realized.
After the typhoon and flood subsided, the streets of Binhai city were in a mess. What was even more disgusting was that the bodies of small animals drowned in the flood were often seen. Most of them were rats, followed by cats and dogs.
Most of the drowned cats and dogs should be stray animals, including a small number of free-range families.
Vladimir and little white had tried their best, but the typhoon had come too suddenly, and it was impossible for them to save all the cats and dogs.
Whether it was for the surviving stray cats and dogs or for the city’s residents, epidemic prevention after the flood was the top priority. The city government would organize a large number of human and material resources to put into key areas for disinfection, but for the stray cats and dogs that were elusive, people had no good way to deal with them.
Snowy’s stay in the United States this time was far longer than expected. She had already bought plane tickets, but she was shocked to hear that a Typhoon was approaching Binhai city. In this situation, even if she took a plane back, she wouldn’t be able to land. Besides, her parents would never agree, so the family of three delayed for a while before returning home.
The second day after she returned to China, she ignored the fatigue of the journey and immediately threw herself into the work of an outdoor livestream. She introduced the disaster situation of Binhai city to fans all over the country and even around the world. In her live broadcast, everyone saw the bodies of stray cats and dogs that had drowned and had not been cleaned up in time. Of course, they only glanced at them from a distance. Otherwise, snowy and the girls who were weaker would not be able to stand it.
Although some people suspected that she was taking the opportunity to attract fans, she was innocent and she was innocent.
The corpses of drowned small animals would cause fleas and other pests to breed in large numbers, and they would spread to stray cats and dogs. Many people thought of this possibility, but there was no good way, unless all the stray cats and dogs were eliminated, but that was too cruel, and it might cause controversy. Besides, the existence of stray cats and dogs would more or less limit the reproduction of rodents such as rats. If all the stray cats and dogs were killed, wouldn’t the rats run rampant?
Snowy was also very worried about this problem. She went to the Pet Shop to ask Zhang Zian for advice. The latter said that he could solve the problem by regularly applying medicine to strays, and he had already planned to do so.
Enthusiastic pet-loving and well-off netizens were generous, no matter how much money they had, they expressed their sincerity.
It was the weekend, so the store was full of people. As soon as snowy left, Zhao Qi, Liu Wenying, and Yue Yue came.
“Store manager Zhang, it’s been almost a year since you took over this store, right? When will you have a one-year anniversary promotion?”
Zhao Qi was carrying her newly bought branded bag, Liu Wenying was holding Yueyue’s hand, and Yueyue was holding a half-eaten ice cream. It might be the last time this little girl had the Fortune to eat ice cream this year. After all, the weather was getting colder as the days went by.
“I really haven’t thought about this. Our shop is a small business and suffered heavy losses in the typhoon. If we offer any more discounts, we’ll have to sell our blood.” Zhang Zian didn’t give in.
“Woof! Who are you trying to fool? I don’t care, today our cat food must be discounted and I want a bone fracture!” Zhao Qi carried a pile of imported cat food and placed it on the cashier.
Every time she and Liu Wenying came together to store cat food, they would always find various excuses to ask Zhang Zian to give discounts, which made Liu Wenying feel embarrassed. In fact, Zhao Qi was willing to buy a bag that cost a few thousand Yuan, so why would she care about the discount of a hundred Yuan? What she enjoyed was the thrill of discounts. Otherwise, she would feel that she had made a loss. This was probably the shopping logic of urban white-collar workers. Otherwise, the 11/11 holiday would not have become a National Carnival.
It wasn’t until Zhang Zian couldn’t persuade her and quietly agreed to give them a 5% discount that she and Liu Wenying returned with a large pile of cat food.
“Little Zhang, do you have time? There’s something I want to discuss with you. ” Wei Kang came to visit in a brand new private car.
“Professor Wei, congratulations on your promotion. Come in quickly.” Zhang Zian could tell at a glance that Wei Kang was in high spirits, and he finally took off the “vice” word in front of his title.
“Let’s not talk about this, let’s not talk about this …” Wei Kang humbly waved his hand and looked around the shop.”Hey, there are so many people in your shop, it’s almost full. I won’t go in. I’ll leave after a few words.”
“What’s the matter?” Zhang Zian asked.
He thought it was about Peter Lee and the Leshi dog food, but Peter Lee was facing a long trial of the century in the United States, which could drag on for eight to ten years.
“It’s like this, our last trip to Egypt left us with a lot of regrets, and you see, it’s been almost half a year. The radio devices installed for the Fennec foxes may be running out of power and falling off one after another. After all, the local environment is too bad, the temperature difference between day and night is too big, and the battery life may not meet the design requirements. We can’t leave the recovery of the radio devices to the local scholars and nomads. This is what we put in our last time … So I think we should go to the desert again and recover those devices with our own hands. At the same time, we can work together with the teachers and students of the archeology Department to solve the regrets we left behind last time. What do you think?” Wei Kang stated his intention.
Zhang Zian almost fainted when he heard this. Did he fall into Zhuang Xiaodie’s dream again? Or was it the so-called sense of déjà vu?
Everyone in Zhuang Xiaodie’s dream fit their own character setting, which made her dream have a strong prophetic effect. The Wei Kang in reality and the Wei Kang in her dream both had deep regrets about the last trip to the desert. It was not surprising that they would make the same decision after tossing and turning. This was Wei Kang’s character.
He quickly advised Wei Kang to give up on the idea. It should not be a big problem to leave the retrieval of the radio device to the local people, because the Fennec foxes were social animals. Missing a few devices would not affect the analysis of the survival of the entire group too much.
Was there a need for a layman in biology like him to remind him of such things? Of course, Wei Kang knew that it was just an excuse. The fennec fox was not the main point.
Wei Kang and his fellow teachers had inadvertently mentioned the Golden Pyramid hidden in the depths of the sand Sea during the gathering. Although Wei Kang had not seen it with his own eyes, Peter Lee’s court trial had vaguely revealed the relevant information, so it had aroused the great interest of the archaeology Department of Binhai University. After all, it was a pyramid that had never been discovered before. It was likely to be the mausoleum of the last pharaoh of Egypt. If a China Expedition team could enter it first … It would definitely cause a sensation in the world and make the Department of Archeology of Binhai University famous at home and abroad.
The professors of the archaeology Department hesitated, and Wei Kang was also tempted. If it was a joint application by the biology Department and the archaeology Department, the school would definitely approve it, and there was also the previous successful experience as a guarantee.
Wei Kang had long been disappointed with his useless disciples. He had heard that the students of the Department of Archaeology had always been diligent and hardworking. They often participated in field excavation work and even had field excavation experience in ancient tombs in the Gobi Desert of the Western Region. They had some similarities with the desert. If they cooperated, this time they would be familiar with the road, better than last time, with better materials, equipment, and manpower. Perhaps they could find more secrets about the original Egypt cats in the murals of the Golden Pyramid.
He and the archeologists had discussed and agreed that Peter Lee’s claim that the Golden Pyramid had been buried in the yellow sand was just a one-sided statement. Perhaps the cunning Peter Lee had deliberately said that, but in fact, he had secretly planned to send his men to take the treasure in the Golden Pyramid. In order to avoid this situation, they had to rush deep into Egypt desert before Peter Lee’s remnants made their move and conduct a protective excavation of the Golden Pyramid.
Zhang Zian was speechless and smiled bitterly. The Golden Pyramid had really been buried, but it was not convenient for him to prove it for Peter Lee. Otherwise, the pressure and focus would be on him.
This time, it was obvious that the Department of Archeology at Binhai University was eager to make a big deal out of this. They were determined to bring Wei Kang to Egypt.
He tried to persuade Wei Kang to leave, but it was just a temporary stop-gap measure. Even if Wei Kang changed his mind, the people from the archaeology Department might not give up.
But what could he do? Let’s just take it one step at a time.
He planned to visit Binhai City Museum the day after tomorrow to see if there was a female guide with a Southern European look in the museum …
After sending Wei Kang off, he saw an acquaintance pushing a wheelchair across the road before he entered the shop.
It was Guo Dongyue pushing his mother for a walk. The wheelchair had been modified and had a stand with a birdcage hanging on it. A few parrots were jumping around in the birdcage, occasionally speaking human language, which made passersby look at them.
Guo Dongyue’s mother raised her head and smiled like a child. She looked so innocent that an adult’s face shouldn’t be showing. She looked at the parrot in the cage like a child, her lips moving as if she was talking to the parrot.
Zhang Zian had seen Guo Dongyue’s WeChat moments a while ago. It seemed that the big house that Guo Dongyue had bought nearby had been renovated. It seemed that they had already moved in.
Across the road, he waved at Guo Dongyue, who had been looking at the Pet Shop and also waved back.
An SUV was parked by the side of the road, blocking his view.
“Brother Zhang, your business is doing well!” Feng Xuan got off the car with a smile on his face.
“Director Feng? Why are you here?” Zhang Zian was very surprised.
“Shh!” Feng Xuan quietly made a gesture to keep quiet. Now that he had become famous, he still kept a low profile and didn’t want to be photographed by people nearby.
Brother Zhang, I’m going to visit a friend in the film and television industry. I happened to pass by, so I came to see you and famous.” Feng Xuanhan asked in a startled tone,”how have you been? are you okay?”
“Everything’s fine. Director Feng, do you want to come in and sit?” Zhang Zian invited.
Feng Xuan looked at the crowded store and shook his head with a smile.”Forget it. I’ll come back when I have the chance.” By the way, brother Zhang, the script for Dog Warrior 2 has been released recently. I’ve read it and think it’s pretty good. Do you want to consider it?”
After Feng Xuan became a first-class director in the country with the help of Dog Warrior, he was not like other directors who became famous overnight, who were desperate to make quick money to shoot bad films. Instead, he was particularly cautious and did not want to ruin his reputation at a later time. He had very high requirements for the quality of the script and the investors, and ordinary films were not in his eyes.
The popularity of Dog Warrior had attracted the Chinese film industry, who liked to follow the trend, to rush forward. All kinds of animal films appeared on the stage, and 99.9% of them were crudely made to make money. This made the Chinese film Critics feel bitter and lament that the audience would lose their enthusiasm if this continued. Dog Warrior had opened the door to China animal movies, but it was about to be closed by other bad movies …
The domestic animal film Market was in urgent need of another cardiac stimulant to continue the audience’s enthusiasm, and there was no better choice than Dog Warrior 2.
Dog warrior’s reputation and box office were both good. Whether it was the crew or the investors, they obviously would not give up this golden signboard. The sequel was put on the agenda early, and the investment budget was ten times higher than the first film. It was said to have no upper limit.
The script of Dog Warrior 2 had long been in the process of being revised, and Binhai studio was also actively working on it, expressing their full cooperation. They must keep the sequel shooting location in Binhai city and not give it away. Even the leaders of the municipal Cultural Department were paying close attention to it and actively promoting the matter.
The other details were easy to deal with, but the main lead couldn’t be changed to Yingying. Of course, this didn’t mean the human lead in the movie.
Zhang Zian and famous found it hard to refuse.
He knew that after the release of Dog Warrior, famous did not immerse itself in its past glory, but continued to observe life, hone its acting skills, and strive to make new breakthroughs.
Everyone was looking forward to famous’s success in Dog Warrior 2.
