Chapter 10: The Keeper and the Panda
However, it is still something made by my own hands, and it was guided by Ha'er. It looks quite appealing, so I should give it a try, right? Unable to resist the fragrant aroma, Shen Yibin couldn't help but pick up a piece with his chopsticks and bring it to his mouth
Ah, if you don't like it, then don't force yourself. I'll give it a try, and if I really can't eat it, we can just continue ordering takeout. Once I improve my cooking skills, we can eat what we make ourselves. "Hey, do you really have to be so understanding? The more understanding you are, the guiltier I feel, okay?" Shen Yibin is already thinking about directly picking up the phone to order takeout.
Um ~ '' Ha'er shyly blinked his eyes and reached out with his two greasy paws
Woof! Woof! For some unknown reason, this golden retriever seems to be a bit agitated. Just as Shen Yibin was about to open the cage to feed it, the dog lunged at him and began barking wildly
After feeding the pet, the two of them playfully wrestled for a while. When it reached 11 o'clock, they went upstairs together to wash up and rest. Shen Yibin directly set up a small bed for it by his bedside, covered it with a blanket, and gently patted its head, saying, "Sleep well, sleep well. Tomorrow, this shop will officially open!"
After cleaning his paws, Ha'er once again secured Shen Yibin's leg. He descended the stairs, taking one step at a time, and arrived at the side of the sofa to begin his exercises. As before, Ha'er lay on his back while doing several sets of push-ups. Shen Yibin was doing them while daydreaming, sighing to himself, how wonderful it would be if he could take this fellow out for a walk to exercise; I fear that all the girls on the street would gather around, wouldn't they
Oh? It seems not as unappetizing as I imagined? Although it cannot compare to the one from lunch, it is certainly much better than what I used to make. Could it really be the result of Ha'er’s guidance? If I continue to train like this, perhaps I might actually meet the purchasing criteria before being discovered by Ha'er?
He plans to consider adopting a boutique approach after the store is on the right track, selecting some rarer varieties with higher profit margins. However, it seems unnecessary at the moment, as there is a future pet store, and who knows what goods will be sent to him next.
I thought you were just a foodie, but I didn't expect you to be a competent caretaker as well! Shen Yibin simply moved a chair over to sit down and started to take his time with the task. Since that's the case, I will leave this job to you from now on
The golden retriever, having eaten and drunk to its fill, licked the paws of Ha'er in a display of servility. Ha'er responded with a couple of murmurs that seemed to praise it, and then went on to serve other pets with cat and dog food. Shen Yibin observed closely and noticed that each time it took out the pet food, it would first sniff it before feeding, ensuring that each pet received its rightful share without a single mistake.
Before Shen Yibin could take any action, the dog clinging to his leg became displeased, releasing its grip and wobbling over to the cage. It extended its thick paws and forcefully slapped the cage, glaring at the golden retriever with its two eyes, while making incoherent sounds as if scolding the other for being angry.
At this moment, Ha'er also picked up the new food bowl that Shen Yibin had specially bought for it, buried its head in it, and began to eat with a puffing sound. While eating, it also emitted pleasant humming sounds, as if it could barely accept Shen Yibin's current cooking skills
After trying to persuade him twice without any effect, Shen Yibin had no choice but to continue eating his own meal. To be honest, he was quite exhausted from shopping and cooking earlier, and now he was truly very hungry.
The Golden Retriever's fierce barking suddenly turned into a pitiful whimper, clearly subdued by Ha'er
Simply relying on YY is not sufficient; to truly manage these matters, one must wait for him to improve his culinary skills. After their workout, the two of them lay on the sofa to rest for a while, and then they began to feed the pets in the store. Due to the recent opening, Shen Yibin did not dare to bring in too many pets, only purchasing a little over ten common and popular types of cats and dogs.
Hmm ~ Hmm! After leaning next to the twice-cooked pork and sniffing for a while, Ha'er initially seemed a bit dissatisfied, but upon seeing Shen Yibin's sweaty appearance, he put on a happy expression and nodded repeatedly.
I almost forgot, although pandas have always relied on their cuteness for survival, they are indeed formidable beasts. Their bite force is second only to that of polar bears and on par with that of brown bears. They can run faster than Liu Xiang's top speed at an altitude of 2,000 meters in mountainous terrain. They are capable of climbing trees over 20 meters high. They can treat three or four wolves as mere cushions to play with, and bullying a golden retriever is like child's play to them
Seeing the golden retriever calm down, Ha'er turned around and nudged against Shen Yibin's side, wanting to take the dog food from his hand
No, you can't be planning to help me feed these guys, right? Shen Yibin was completely bewildered at that moment, thinking how could you be so capable? Just during the time he was in a daze, Ha'er had already taken the dog food, opened the cage, and poured it into the Golden Retriever's bowl. The Golden Retriever approached, sniffed a couple of times, and then started eating with a grunt.
"If you don't like it, then don't force yourself. What if you end up with a stomachache?" Shen Yibin became unsettled. He stood up, opened the refrigerator, and pulled out two bags. "If you don't want to continue eating takeout, I also bought some fruit for you—apples, bananas, and pears. Which one do you like?"
Hmm ~ Hmm ~ The child shook his head vigorously, ignoring the fruit that Shen Yibin had offered, and continued to devour the plate of twice-cooked pork.
Damn, this is much easier than the feeding I just did! Since you are so capable, you can handle the rest of the tasks! Shen Yibin was at a loss for words and immediately took out his phone to snap a flurry of pictures of the two. Fortunately, this time he finally remembered to turn off the automatic posting feature for Weibo; otherwise, the internet would probably explode again.
"Ah, if you don't like it, then don't force yourself." Shen Yibin reached out to pull the bowl of rice away from Ha'er's paws, gently stroking its fluffy head. To be honest, the texture is quite delightful. "It wouldn't be worth it if you ended up with an upset stomach. If you get hungry tonight, there are still some fruits here." When Shen Yibin went out to buy things, he left some fruits for it, and by the time he returned, it had devoured them all. It seems that it doesn't only eat twice-cooked pork.
"Alright, I will go get some water for you to wash your hands. After washing, we will continue our exercise. Once we finish exercising, please help me feed those pets. We have the opening tomorrow!" I exclaimed, realizing that the opening is indeed tomorrow! Moreover, Qiao Wenqi and the others are all coming over. It seems that Ha'er will have to hide in the bedroom for the entire day, how pitiful! When will I be able to take this fellow out in broad daylight? Shen Yibin pondered whether, after finishing up, he should ask Ha'er to guide him in making twice-cooked pork a couple of times.
Hmm! Hmm! Ha'er was very satisfied with the performance of the Golden Retriever and even reached out a paw to pat the dog's head. The Golden Retriever stuck out its tongue and grinned foolishly, seemingly enjoying this treatment
Having eaten three bowls of rice, and having cleaned up the small plate of twice-cooked pork in front of him, Shen Yibin let out a satisfied burp. However, upon looking at Ha'er, he noticed that there was still quite a bit of twice-cooked pork left in the bowl, and it seemed unlikely that it would be finished.
