Chapter 530 What a bizarre rule!
Sun Pengjin was curled up on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.

One second I saw a video of dogs rioting at the flower and bird market, and the next second I saw this police report.

"Wow, a chain reaction caused by booming business?"

Sun Pengjin couldn't help but mutter, finding the contents of the report somewhat unexpected, even a little funny.

If the account that posted the announcement hadn't been verified, he would have treated it as a piece of news for laughs.

Although the flower and bird market wasn't far from his home, he didn't own any pets and had never paid much attention to pet-related matters.

After laughing, he continued scrolling through his phone screen without a care.

Two minutes later, Sun Pengjin suddenly flipped over and stood up abruptly.

He suddenly remembered that he had met a girl with dimples when she smiled at the last gathering with his friends.

At the party, after a few drinks, Sun Pengjin, emboldened by the alcohol, asked the girl for her contact information.

But as the effects of the alcohol wore off, he didn't know what to do.

He had very little experience in dealing with girls and had absolutely no idea how to start a conversation naturally.

Every time I send a "hello" message, we end up in an awkward silence after only a few words.

Over time, he could only silently follow the girl's WeChat Moments, and when he saw her sharing snippets of her life, he would quickly give her a like to make his presence known.

Sun Pengjin clearly remembers that the girl posted many photos of Shiba Inus on her WeChat Moments, with captions for each photo such as "Baby was so well-behaved today" or "Baby got into trouble again," making it obvious that she owned the dogs herself.

If you could buy food from this pet food stand and give it to the other person as a gift, wouldn't that naturally lead to a deeper conversation?

Moreover, compared to awkward online chats, Sun Pengjin felt that if he could meet the other person in person and communicate face-to-face, he might be able to open up more conversations.

With that thought in mind, he mustered all his courage and sent the girl the video of the dog riot at the flower and bird market that he had just seen, as well as the video of the official report.

"I just saw something very interesting. This flower and bird market isn't far from here, want to go check it out together?"

Not long after, the girl replied: "Oh! What a coincidence, I saw this on my feed too."

"I originally wanted to take Nuomi to see it, but I can't get away right now."

30 characters! Two sentences!!
Looking at the chat interface, Sun Pengjin felt like he was injected with adrenaline and full of energy.

This is the most words the other person has ever spoken to me since we became friends!

Although the other party did not agree to go to the flower and bird market with him, Sun Pengjin was not very disappointed.

On the contrary, since the girl has already shown interest in this matter, he might as well just buy her some cooked pet food and give it to her. That might increase her liking for him!

"Then I'll go check what's going on."

Sun Pengjin replied excitedly, then quickly stood up from the sofa, rushed out to hail a taxi, wishing he could fly to the flower and bird market immediately.

……

At the flower and bird market, Su Chen saw Liu Taotao swaggering around, leading a turtle to the food cart, making him feel utterly speechless.

Goodness, I underestimated the creativity and ingenuity of my regular customers; they actually came up with the idea of ​​bringing a turtle along.

"Mr. Su, don't tell me it doesn't count! Turtles are pets too!"

Liu Taotao stared at Su Chen's expression, already prepared to have a heated argument with Boss Su.

Let's calculate it.

Su Chen didn't say anything.

After all, broadly speaking, turtles can indeed be considered a type of pet. Liu Mengmeng and Song Qing, who were following behind Liu Taotao, both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Su Chen's reply.

The three of them each took a rice ball, walked to the side contentedly, and prepared to enjoy their rice balls while waiting for the steamed corn bread to be cooked.

It was only then that a few of the regular diners noticed Liu Taotao leading the tortoise, and they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You've left Boss Su speechless."

"What kind of pet is a turtle?!"

"At least other people pretend, but you're not even bothering to pretend! You're just exploiting a bug!"

"If I were Boss Su, I would put you on the list of customers I don't serve!"

Since Su Chen had already said it was okay, Liu Taotao naturally didn't take the other people's teasing seriously. Instead, he smugly dragged the tortoise around in place twice.

The first batch of steamed cornbread has sold out, and the second batch is being steamed in the steamer.

Thanks to Su Chen's thorough preparations today, there's no sign of them selling out yet.

Sun Pengjin got off the bus at the intersection of the flower and bird market. He hadn't walked far when he saw a long queue of stalls not far ahead.

The signboard prominently displays "Pet Food".

Without a doubt, this is the place!

There are so many people!

Sun Pengjin quickly quickened his pace, walked to the end of the line, and obediently joined the queue, hoping to buy food soon.

The veteran customer, who had risen to second to last in line, glanced at Sun Pengjin, whose hands were empty, and kindly offered a reminder:

"Dude, this stall has a rule: you have to bring a pet to buy anything. Why did you come alone?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Pengjin was completely dumbfounded: "You have to bring a pet to buy this? What kind of bizarre rule is this?"

"There's nothing we can do; this has always been the case with Boss Su."

The regular customer calmly replied, then seemed a little puzzled and couldn't help but scrutinize Sun Pengjin, asking in confusion, "Aren't you in the fan club?"

"What fan club?" Sun Pengjin looked blank, completely clueless.

"Uh, it's nothing, I misspoke."

The regular customer immediately felt a pang of anxiety and gave a vague and ambiguous response.

He had just seen Sun Pengjin come to line up without hesitation and thought he was from the fan club.

Once they realized it wasn't the case, they started consciously controlling the number of people joining the group.

After all, everyone wants to buy more of the food made by Boss Su. Unless it's through an introduction from an acquaintance, they generally won't reveal too much information to strangers, for fear that the competition will be too fierce when they queue up and they won't be able to buy anything.

Sun Pengjin didn't ask any more questions. He tiptoed and looked towards the food cart, where he saw that the purchase requirements for bringing pets were clearly written on the whiteboard.

"You really have to bring your pet? Why didn't the video and the official report explain that clearly?"

Sun Pengjin couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

Where can we find a pet on short notice now?

You can't just impulsively buy a dog or a cat just to get some cooked pet food; that's too unrealistic.
