Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 4 The First Bucket of Gold (1)

Ban You was dragged by Li Yiyi for a long distance, and she was almost out of breath.

"Sister Yiyi, please slow down. I can't keep up. Slow down, slow down."

Although Li Yiyi walked fast along the way, she made it clear to Ban You what she was going to do.

According to Li Yiyi, they were going to the largest restaurant in the city - Zuixianlou.

The owner of Zuixianlou orders meat from the Zheng family all year round. Yesterday, he bought 100 kilograms of pork from the Zheng family. After returning home, he said that there was something wrong with the meat and poisoned their dog. He asked the Zheng family to give an explanation.

The owner of Zuixianlou also said that the dog was specially bought from Shangjing by their boss as a mascot. Now that something has happened to the dog, they can't escape, so they are anxious to ask the Zheng family to give an explanation.

"Sister, this is urgent. You are so powerful, you must help me!"

"Sister Yiyi, don't worry, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help!" Ban You said hurriedly while panting.

"To be honest, the owner of Zuixianlou is very mysterious and never shows up. Usually, only the shopkeeper is outside."

As Ban You listened to Li Yiyi's mysterious words, an idea popped into her mind.

[The standard time-travel male protagonist: mysterious + rich. Could it be that... this boss is the legendary male protagonist...]

Before Ban You could think about it, Li Yiyi suddenly stopped. Ban You stopped abruptly and his body hit Li Yiyi's back due to inertia.

"Uh... hiss..."

"Sister, I'm sorry, I was too anxious." Li Yiyi turned around and saw Ban You sweating profusely, and couldn't help but say apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Yiyi, are we there yet?"

"Ah, yes, yes, we're here. Come in."

Li Yiyi let go of Ban You's hand and walked in quickly.

Ban You tidied up her clothes and followed him in.

In order not to affect the normal business of the restaurant, they went through the backyard door, which is usually only opened when buying things.

As soon as Ban You walked in, he saw a middle-aged man in a dark green robe standing with a frown next to a dog lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out, looking listless.

Ban You took a look at the dog. It was a golden retriever with golden fur all over its body. It was obvious that it was well-raised. It was small in size and should be a puppy.

There were also several people standing next to the middle-aged man. The two wearing brown linen clothes were obviously the waiters of the store. The other one was a strong man with greasy and bloody clothes. Ban You guessed that he should be Zheng Laocai.

"Zheng Laocai, ah Zheng Laocai, I've been very kind to you, haven't I? You actually sold me the meat with problems. What were you thinking?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, please trust me. How could I possibly sell you meat with problems?" Zheng Laocai, standing aside, quickly explained, "I, Zheng Laocai, have been selling meat in Yuncheng for nearly ten years. I have a great reputation. How could I possibly sell you meat with problems?"

"Then tell me what's wrong with Jinfu now! He's been eating everything specially prepared by the kitchen these days. After your meat arrived, you only made food for him. Not long after he ate it, he became like this. Tell me, if it's not your meat that's the problem, what else could it be?!"

Ban You was listening when he was suddenly pulled over by Li Yiyi.

"Manager Liu, please don't be angry. We definitely can't sell you meat with problems. As for what's wrong with this dog, I've called a veterinarian to take a look at it."

Shopkeeper Liu looked up at Ban You with a questioning look in his eyes, but he had no choice at this moment.

He looked at Jin Fu lying on the ground and sighed: "Then let her see it."

When Ban You heard what Manager Liu said, she was a little stunned. She thought that someone like Manager Liu would definitely question her, but she didn't expect that he would ask her to treat the dog.

Time was running out, so Ban You stopped thinking about it and immediately squatted down and touched Jin Fu.

[My stomach is bloated. Ugh, it feels uncomfortable.]

Ban You touched Jin Fu's belly and could feel it tense through the thick fur. She then held Jin Fu's hind legs with one hand and reached into his thigh with the other, pressing lightly on the artery with her fingers to find his pulse. After a careful check, Ban You stood up.

"Girl, how are you?"

"What did Jinfu eat today?"

"We cooked three large pieces of meat, and Jinfu ate two of them, along with some vegetables and fruit."

Ban You nodded after hearing this and continued to ask, "Can I see the size of the cooked meat?"

"Sure." Shopkeeper Liu asked the waiter next to him to get the meat that Jinfu had not finished eating.

While the waiter was bringing the meat back, Ban You asked Jin Fu how old he was.

"Four months." Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment and then said, "When the master brought Jin Fu back, he also brought back a description of Jin Fu's birth, so I remember it very clearly."

When the waiter brought the meat back, Ban You looked at the meat, which weighed about half a pound each, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ban You sighed, glanced at Jinfu, and shook his head. "Jinfu has bloating from eating too much. I suggest you fast for three days. During this time, give Jinfu plenty of water. Once Jinfu feels better, take him for more exercise to promote digestion."

"For a dog as big as Jinfu, a large piece of meat with some vegetables and fruit is usually enough for one meal. If it eats too much, it won't be able to digest it and will get bloating and abdominal pain."

"Okay, I'll tell them to adjust Jinfu's food." Shopkeeper Liu said quickly, "Jinfu just arrived a few days ago, and none of us has ever raised such a precious dog before. Sigh..."

"Don't be afraid, Manager Liu. I can write you a list of things to keep in mind when raising a dog. If you have any other questions, you can send someone to find me. I live in the innermost alley of the East Market West Alley."

"Thank you so much. By the way, may I ask what your name is, young lady?"

"You can just call me Banyou."

"The young lady is obviously a very cheerful person," said Shopkeeper Liu, looking at Mr. Zheng and his wife. "Now that the matter has been resolved, I was indeed wrong in blaming you."

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as the problem is solved, we'll leave first." Zheng Laocai said politely, and then pulled Li Yiyi away.

Li Yiyi couldn't resist Zheng Laocai, so she quickly shouted at Ban You: "Sister, come to my house for dinner when you have time."

"I understand, Sister Yiyi." Ban You responded with a smile and nodded.

Manager Liu asked someone to see them off, and then he spoke to Ban You again.

"Miss Ban, you cured Jinfu, which helped me a lot. If you want anything, just tell me. I will never refuse anything I can do."

Ban You thought for a moment and asked, "There is something I want to ask Shopkeeper Liu. I want to open a veterinary clinic in Yuncheng. I'm wondering what preparations are needed."

"A veterinary clinic... First, we need to prepare the opening documents. This can be done at the county government office. Secondly, we need to choose a store in a good location, but..."

"But what?"

"Miss Ban, you may not know that all the shops with good locations in Yuncheng have been rented out. The only ones left are some remote animal shops. I'm afraid their business won't be very good."

"That's fine. I don't have that much money to rent a good shop right now."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, Miss Ban, if you want to open a veterinary clinic, you need customers, which is a troublesome job."

"To be honest, although I'm not very talented, I do know some people in Yuncheng. If you don't mind, I can promote them for you."

"If that's the case, that's great!" Ban You's excitement was beyond words. After a moment of joy, Ban You thought of something and whispered, "Manager Liu, I'd like to ask, how much do pet owners usually pay for their pets' medical treatment?"

"The consultation fee is generally between one and three taels of silver. Since those who keep pets in Yuncheng are either rich or noble, the consultation fee is higher."

After listening to this, Ban You had some ideas in mind.
