start with a pet store

Chapter 985 Ma Dongmei

A few days later, another banner appeared on the wall of a store.

Early in the morning, Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin walked into the store while laughing. It was only a little after eight o'clock, and there were few customers in the store except for the employees.

"Doctor Lu, thank you so much. You are the second parent of my Ma Dongmei. Without you, it would be over..." As soon as Lu Jingxing entered the door, a large bouquet of flowers was placed in front of him, and then a face appeared behind the flowers, looking at him with gratitude.

The employees were waiting in the hall for Lu Jingxing to hold a regular meeting. Everyone knew the general situation, but when they heard the person holding the flowers say this, they still laughed.

Lu Jingxing was even more confused. He took the flowers in front of him passively, not knowing what was going on: "Who? Ma Dongmei?"

"Oh, it's the Bichon Frise that you had surgery on a few days ago. I kept calling it Dongdong before, but actually its name is Ma Dongmei. Hehe, my last name is Ma..." The owner, Ma Dongmei, who was about to cry when she came a few days ago, now had a smile on her face. After handing the flowers to Lu Jingxing, she bent down and took out the bag on the ground.

"Haha, its full name is Ma Dongmei. The name you gave is quite unique..." Lu Jingxing couldn't help laughing after hearing what she said.

The employees in the store also started laughing.

"Oh, my sister gave it this name. It was very popular at that time. I don't know why it was popular. She said that our surname happened to be Ma, which was a coincidence. Ding ding ding ding, this is also for you..." Ma Dongmei's parents took out a banner from the bag as if by magic.

It was written in golden color: [Save the dying and the wounded, bring the dead back to life].

"Wow, Lu, is this how you got all the banners on your wall?" It was the first time Xi Wenxin saw such a grand occasion and he found it incredible.

"Brother Xi, you haven't seen it, haha, each of the silk banners on our wall has a story, but we didn't force them to buy or sell them." Xiao Sun said shaking his head. He came early and knew the origins of most of the silk banners.

"Great, great..." After Chen Dongmei was discharged from the hospital by her parents, Xi Wenxin and others walked to the wall of banners and looked at them carefully one by one. They found that just as Xiao Sun said, each banner really had a story, a story about saving lives and healing the wounded.

He didn't come here mainly to see the scene, because everyone was busy with their own things, and he was the only one who was relatively free early in the morning, so he took the responsibility of hanging the banner on the wall.

In the end I realized that this was not a good task, because the walls were too full and there was no place to hang anything.

Fortunately, this banner is big enough and it will be eye-catching no matter where it is hung.

Finally, looking at the wall full of honors, Xi Wenxin secretly vowed that in the future he would also strive to create a wall of honors like Lu Jingxing.

Ma Dongmei is gone, but the operation she performed on her has been talked about by several doctors in the first and second stores for many days.

The main reason is that the operation is extremely difficult. The tumor is located in the neck, which has the most blood vessels and is the most complex. And as mentioned earlier, Ma Dongmei is already very old, and the risks of this operation are unpredictable.

Therefore, when the operation was performed that day, doctors and assistants from both stores came to watch, and Lu Jingxing's superb movements convinced everyone.

After the operation, Lu Jingxing gave everyone another lesson, which made everyone very excited. This kind of course can't be taken even if you pay for it.

Because of this, the doctors in their store have made great progress. Not to mention the ordinary pet shops in Longan, at least the small pet shops in their area are gradually only doing low-skilled jobs such as bathing cats and dogs or selling pet supplies. As for surgery, unless there is some business if there is a special price for sterilization, otherwise, basically all pet owners in Longan go to their store when they have something to do.

Therefore, Lu Jingxing and his colleagues are busy around the clock every day.

In this way, Xi Wenxin's progress became particularly obvious.

Not only did he go on the operating table with Xiao Liu and the others from time to time, but with Lu Jingxing opening a back door for him, in just less than a month, he was able to operate on the little ones as smoothly as flowing water.

Only then did he understand why Yang Pei enjoyed cracking eggs for the little ones so much. It turned out that doing this, apart from being hated by the little ones, was really fulfilling.

Moreover, he would work overtime for about an hour every day to practice suturing. His suturing skills became more and more perfect, and soon people no longer felt that he was a novice who had only been practicing for a month. Of course, compared with Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei, he was still a long way off.

The shrike really came to the birdcage in the backyard several times. Every time it would stand on the net and shout loudly, which scared Thrush so much that it trembled in the cage. Until the last time it came, because of the added net, Thrush finally realized that the guy couldn't reach it at all, and it became excited.

The net was about one meter away from the birdcage, and the shrike tried several times to get in but failed.

Thrush stood on the top of the birdcage and laughed at it: "Wow wow wow, you can't get in, right?"

The shrike ignored its ridicule and tried to force its way in. It flew up, flapped its wings and swooped down towards Thrush Two. Thrush Two, who was originally screaming, was immediately frightened and turned pale. It lost its footing and fell to the bottom of the cage. It was not until the shrike tried many times and finally gave up that Thrush Two recovered.

Later, when Xiao Chen told Lu Jingxing about this, Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head: "This thrush has a loud voice. If the shrike really rushed over, it would probably be scared out of its wits without even having to fight."

"That's right, but I also felt a little scared when I saw that scene. Fortunately, I thought of this at the time. If I hadn't taken precautions in advance, the little guy would really come over from time to time and treat this as his restaurant. I went back that day and checked it out, and it's just as you said, the Shrike is very ferocious." Xiao Chen still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.

"Of course, what I say is usually correct." Lu Jingxing smiled and patted his shoulder.

Over the past year, Xiao Chen has been in charge of the fish tanks, and he has added many species to them. Looking at the two large tanks, which are more than three meters long and two meters wide, and the fish swimming around in them, as well as the cats that occasionally come to hang around the fish tanks, he actually feels that life is peaceful.

Lu Jingxing stood beside the fish tank and recalled the scene when the fish owner found him.

Lu Jingxing was performing surgery at the time, and Mr. Yu waited for him for the entire afternoon. It was not until almost the end of the get off work day that Lu Jingxing was finally free, so he walked in.

As soon as I entered the office, I introduced myself: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I sell landscape fish. I have been to your store several times, and you were always busy. I waited for you today."

Xiao Jiu told Lu Jingxing when he came out of the operating room. He smiled at the fish boss and sat down at the desk: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Hey!? How dare I teach you? You are so outstanding, I have heard of you for a long time." The fish boss took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jingxing with both hands. Lu Jingxing smiled and waved his hands: "Thank you, I don't smoke now, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

The fishmonger chuckled and put away his cigarette: "Actually, I don't smoke either. I know you're a straightforward person, so I'll just be frank with you."

Lu Jingxing raised his hand and looked at him with a smile.

"It's like this. I've come to see the fish tank behind you several times. You don't seem to take fish farming very seriously. Although there are people who come to admire it, you don't have many varieties, and the fish tank is not big. I have an idea and would like to cooperate with you. I wonder if you can consider it." The fish shop owner was in his forties and spoke very modestly, but not in a way that made people feel humble. His smile made people feel willing to trust him.

Lu Jingxing had been doing surgery for the whole afternoon and just came out, still feeling a little tired. He tapped the desk lightly with his hand, thought for a while, and then asked, "How do we cooperate?"

Fish farming is indeed not a money-making project for him, so in the entire store, it can be said that he has invested the least in fish farming. He has always only arranged Xiao Chen to be in charge of it, and he is not only responsible for the fish tank, because the fish tank does not need to be kept clean every day, so even if Xiao Chen is the only one, he is just taking care of it on the side.

But that piece of land is actually quite large. Now there is a cat house in the backyard and most of the original wall has been demolished, making the area seem even more spacious.

"It's like this. Your current fish tank is only two meters long and about one meter wide, and there is a rockery inside, so the species you can put in it are very limited. I can customize a fish tank for you. I have measured the location, and I can make a fish tank that is about five meters long and about three meters wide. Then, I will provide the fish species, and we will charge a commission based on the profit..." The fish owner already had a plan in mind.

Long'an does not have its own dedicated landscape fish market. Even if it does, it is just a few small shops that have always been half-dead.

After Mr. Yu came to Lu Jingxing's place several times, he felt that his place was very popular in terms of both location and popularity. He thought that even if he did some advertising, it would have considerable effects.

Lu Jingxing didn't hesitate for long, because he had thought about this question before, so he nodded quickly.

"But, I have some requirements about the shape of this fish tank. Of course, you don't need to pay for the fish tank. You just need to provide the fish species. I want to find someone to customize the fish tank myself." Lu Jingxing said: "However, in the early stage, you have to arrange someone to come and guide my employees. I will arrange someone to be responsible for the fish tank in the future."

"That's no problem, no problem. Regarding the custom-made fish tank you mentioned, I can also introduce you to a good manufacturer..." The fish boss probably didn't expect things to be so easy to discuss, and his face was wrinkled with joy.

Lu Jingxing stood up and shook hands with him, then they went to the backyard together, called Xiao Chen to help, and measured the size again.

Xiao Chen has dealt with the fish boss several times, but each time the fish boss just stayed there for a while and didn't say anything to him in detail. He didn't know what the fish boss meant.

It wasn't until he saw Lu Jingxing and everyone was talking about it that he finally understood.

Of course he was happy to do so, and he eagerly helped measure and offered suggestions.

The final plan was not decided until almost a week later. Lu Jingxing abandoned the original fish tank and built a small rockery behind it. He placed two fish tanks in front of it and made a doorway under the fish tank so that the cats could crawl into the hole.

It used to be completely separated from the cat, but now it is made so that the cat can look up and see the fish.

It feels like humans visiting the underwater world, looking through the glass and seeing that the fish are even bigger than before.

The cats can see the fish every day but cannot touch them. At first, the cats were not used to it and always wanted to catch the fish. But over time, they got used to it.

As the variety of fish in the fish tank became more and more abundant, and cats all liked to come here to play, in the end, I didn’t expect that the fish tank would become the most lively place in the backyard. Every day, not only do many customers come here to pet cats, but they also come here to take pictures. It is about to become a popular check-in spot.

This was something Lu Jingxing had not expected, and the fish owner was also happy because the fish were well maintained and sales were good.

Every day when it’s almost time to get off work, Lu Jingxing also likes to come here to take a look and play with the crabs.

After petting the cat enough, he stretched and wanted to do a round of inspection in the store before going off work.

"Brother Lu..." Lu Jingxing, who was about to go to the cattery, heard Ding Fang calling him from the front hall.

Looks like a new task has arrived.

He walked quickly into the hall.

I saw a middle-aged woman standing in the middle of the store with a big golden retriever.

Lu Jingxing walked over with a smile: "Hello..."

"Doctor Lu, my Maomao seems to have swallowed a foreign object..." The middle-aged woman was wearing a mask and kept adjusting her mask while speaking.

Maomao is relatively large and fat, probably an adult dog, weighing at least 120 kilograms. But he doesn't look unusual at this moment, with his tongue hanging out and a look of excitement on his face.

Lu Jingxing squatted down, stroked its back and head, looked up and asked its owner: "What did it swallow? When did it swallow it?"

"It must have swallowed a stone. Maomao was bought by my daughter when she was in school. Now she goes to university in another city. Our grandfather usually takes Maomao out for exercise, such as running or something like that. It especially likes things we throw out and it bites them back. The day before yesterday in the evening, my grandfather took it out and it refused to come back, so my grandfather picked up a pebble and threw it at it. His original intention was to scare it and play with it, but he didn't expect it to swallow it directly. My grandfather didn't dare to tell us that day, thinking it could defecate. He has been paying attention to its poop these two days, and found that it hadn't defecate, so he told us, so I brought it here immediately." The owner said anxiously.

"How big is the pebble?" Lu Jingxing was also surprised when he heard it.

"It's about this big, about the size of an egg." The hostess gestured to measure the size.

"Well, this is already very big, it definitely can't be excreted. So, let's take a picture first to see where the stone is?" Lu Jingxing said as he took the leash from the owner's hand and walked inside with Maomao.

When Xiaojiu heard the noise, he hurried out and followed Lu Jingxing to take a picture of Maomao.
