At three o'clock in the morning, song Xinmin finally cleaned up the basement he had just rented.

It's not that a large single room was simply decorated. When he came in with the key, there was only a simple bed and a pair of small tables and chairs in the clean and tidy cabin. Song Xinmin was more satisfied with few things than he thought. Now he's packed with all the things he brought.

At this time, not only the bed was covered with bedding, but also the table was full of daily necessities. The most striking thing was that he hung a layer of dense lattice iron frame on the wall near the bed. The photos of large and small were hung on it with small clips. Inside, there were either scenery photos or animal photos. Occasionally, there were several pictures of people, but most of them were taken from the back, distant view and part of the body.

This is the most satisfying part of the photos he took along the way in recent years. Some of them even helped him win some prize money in photography competitions. With these prize money, he can continue to walk on this road.

At this time, a cold night wind came in from the only small window, which made the pictures on the wall sound slightly. At the same time, it made him shiver all over.

"Gululu..." He also took the opportunity to protest against him.

"It's not the time to dream. It's time to work and save travel expenses." He felt his stomach and laughed bitterly. At the same time, he quickly got up and stepped on the stool to close the window tightly.

Since the room is a basement, the windows are also very low relative to the outside ground. Song Xinmin's eyes can just see some night scenery outside through the anti-theft net. It is a clean and beautiful narrow courtyard, paved with strip boards. By the dim light of the street lamp outside, he adjusted his angle and looked further away. He found that there was a row of square flower beds on the left, but there were no flowers. It seemed that there were only a few grass seedlings. When he looked to the right, he could see a pair of wooden tables and chairs with a very emotional tone.

Song Xinmin can instantly imagine that if it is a sunny day, the owner of the courtyard will sit here drinking tea and reading books, and enjoy the leisure time in this narrow courtyard.

All of a sudden, a shadow appeared on the wooden floor. Something fell on the glass ceiling of the narrow courtyard and was reflected by the street lights outside. Song Xinmin was startled by the movement. He bent his knees and looked up, only to see a fluffy figure with his tail swinging and stepping on the glass.

"It's a cat..." Song Xinmin breathed a sigh of relief and sat back beside his bed. Reminded by the cat, he also thought of an event during the day.

At that time, when he saw the house and signed the contract with the landlord, he saw that the cat cafe had put up a recruitment advertisement.

Thinking about the dangerous savings in his pocket for the next month's rent, and recalling the experience of working all over the years for travel expenses, song Xinmin immediately made up his mind to go there tomorrow.

Lin Lan, who is sleeping at home on the third floor, knows nothing about the application of an employee tomorrow. Now she just feels a little stuffy in her chest, and seems to hear something in her ears, which makes her half awake gradually.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a puppet cat sitting on her chest and staring at her. For seven months, the big kitten had no idea of her weight. She didn't know that she was going to shove her excrement so hard that she couldn't breathe. She thought she was a cute cat who could wrap her whole body with one hand.

"Lan Bao." Lin Lan was feeble. "Why don't you go to bed in the middle of the night, sit on me and stare at me?"

"Meow." The puppet cat gave her a coquettish cry. The voice was very sweet, but the content made Lin Lan angry. Mom, you haven't moved for a long time. I thought you were dead, so I came to see you

"Come down." Hurry to this in addition to good-looking is nothing silly cat down, Lin Lan a face of heart tired, "I'm sleeping, not dead, you sell cute during the day to play with guests, at night is not tired?"

"Meow!" (I'm not tired. When I'm sleepy, I just lie on those people's legs and close my eyes. They will stop and let me sleep directly!)

Lin Lan

Those of her kind really have no backbone in the face of cat color! When she became a human flesh warming pad, she thought it was a gift, which disappointed her.

Just when there was nothing to say, the handle of the closed door suddenly loosened, the door opened a crack, and a white cat came in and jumped into bed.

Lin Lan was not surprised by this, and even spoke directly to the cat: "come back so late, where did you go in the middle of the night?" "I tell you, snowflake, the weather forecast says that there will be snow in the next two days. You are not allowed to go out any more. If you step on a paw of mud to go home and annoy your grandmother, don't blame me for not pleading for you."

White cat snow head with his head rub Lin Lan's hand, please meow: "Lan Lan, I go to the cat boss there to play, it has a lot of cats there."

"Oh." With more playmates, are you happy?

Lin Lanzheng wants Xuehua to collect her thoughts and keep in mind her identity as a domestic cat. When she is taken off-road, Xuehua shouts at her: "meow!" (LAN LAN, there are some other cats who want to go hunting in your territory. Let me ask you if you want to

She was stunned: "do you mean that some kittens who are not pet cats also want to come here?""Meow!" (yes. There are cats from the cat boss who have sneaked over here and found that all the cats in your territory have hunted cans from humans. They say they can do the same.)

Even secretly investigating? These sly kittens.

A little thought, Lin Lan knows why. She asked the cat to come and hang out with her, stray cats In other words, the cat boss is vigilant. On the one hand, he can't fully believe that she is a human. On the other hand, he doesn't believe that she can really get food with the cats.

Now the teahouse is open, and the business is good. Those pet cats who are used to explore the way are doing well in it. They want whatever they want, and they are waiting for them. The cat boss is also relieved, and let go some kittens who have long wanted to follow Lin Lan.

Of course, these cats are not expensive pet cats, but Chinese garden cats, which Qian Xuan blurted out as soon as she saw snowflakes.

can compose and perform military exercises. But the people who have raised this cat know that they are very smart, strong and well fed, able to be skilled in writing, able to salt and sweet, and to be able to catch rats with a charming cat. In particular, civet cat is the only Chinese native cat that can compete in the competition. The price of pure breed civet cat abroad is also very high. That is to say, Chinese people don't take them everywhere seriously.

Lin Lan is willing to take a few more local cats into the teahouse, but just like the boss recruiting employees, there must be recruitment conditions.

"You can have a few, but you have to tell them that my territory only accepts the best looking kittens in the eyes of bipedal animals."

Boss Lin is very realistic in this respect. After all, it's business to open a shop. Only when kittens are beautiful can they attract more customers to buy cans, right?

"Meow, meow!" "Meow!" At this time, whether sapphire or snowflakes are all together to cry, fall in Lin Lan's ears have become (I am the most beautiful!) I'm beautiful in both human and cat's eyes That's what I mean.

"Yes, you're all beautiful, Kitty, Kitty!" Lin Lan picked up one and put it on the left and right sides of her pillow. "Now, sleep for me immediately. Wake me up again, and tomorrow you'll all go back to sleep in the living room. No more

Alas, Lao Lin's eldest son and second son are too sticky.

After receiving the warning, the kittens no longer dare to make noise. They are honest and form two groups. Soon they start to snore, and Lin Lan gradually falls asleep again in the double snoring.

A new day is coming. It's a bit gloomy. Fortunately, it doesn't look like snow.

At 9:30, Lin Lan went downstairs to open the shutter door and sent the cats into the teahouse. When he started the simple routine cleaning work, the basement tenant who met yesterday pushed the door open and came in.

"Hello, do you still recruit all staff here? I can work until after the new year. It's ok if I don't go back to work during the new year. "

He is a ruthless man who is short of money. He only wants to work and earn more every year.

Although did not expect the teahouse to accept the first full staff is their own tenants, Lin Lan or carefully confirm the identity and origin of each other.

Song Xinmin, a 24-year-old graduate from a famous university, is a vagrant photographer. At present, his reputation is still in the range from unknown to little-known-well, the kind of people who have a little impression in the circle but have no special impression, so he can't earn money by his job.

It is said that at present, he is wandering around the country to seek inspiration and improve himself. As long as he is short of money, he will quickly find a suitable shop to work as a full-time employee for one to two months. When he has enough money, he will go on the road to practice.

It's no wonder that he looks so depressed. He is a dreamer who gives up a stable life for his dream.

For this kind of people, Lin Lan is admire and a little envious, but really let her learn from each other, that is absolutely not to do, she is a layman, now there are shops and cats, life is very natural and unrestrained, do not need any poetry and distance.

Now that she has a helper who can help her in the new year, Lin Lan will not be picky about the problem that the tenant and employee can work for two months at most.

"All right, that's it." Looking at the honest ID card, graduation certificate and even some of his own works, Lin Lan looked like he was serious about applying for a white-collar job in a newspaper or magazine. He couldn't laugh or cry. "First of all, the salary is on the poster. I won't give you extra subsidies because you are my tenant. The salary I give you is the salary, and the rent you give me is the rent. They are in charge of their own affairs, and they won't be confused. "

"I know that would cause confusion in the accounts." Song Xinmin laughed and agreed, "after all, the rent of a building and the expenditure of a teahouse are two different things."

The new comer is very sensible. Lin Lan nodded with satisfaction: "so song, this apron is for you. From now on, it's your first day at work. I'll teach you some procedures and regulations for entertaining guests in the store, and some precautions for taking care of cats. "

Famous university graduates learn these things very quickly. Lin Lan guides them twice at most, and then he starts to work very quickly. Because of his rich working experience, he is more proficient in greeting customers into the shop than Lin Lan. He is also quick at work, worthy of the name of veteran worker. In addition to making tea in the morning, he basically did all the work by himself.Lin Lan deeply felt the convenience of being a boss, and the recruitment of employees was really brilliant.

On weekdays, there are not many customers coming to Maocha. Song Xinmin only feels that his new job is really easy, and he also deeply feels that his decision to apply for the job is brilliant. In particular, at noon, the store also packed a lunch, which really saved him the biggest expense every day.

After eating the home cooked food brought down by the landlord's house, song Xinmin felt that he had to take good care of the cats in the teahouse, otherwise he was really sorry for the salary and welfare.

During the lunch break rotation, Lin Lan told Xiao song that he was going to leave for an hour or two and asked him to help him look at the store for a while. While the other party answered, he was a little confused: "where is the store manager going?"

Then he got a confused answer: "probably lead a few cats."

How many cats are there? Where can I get it? What is it like?

This doubt did not last long, and Xiao Song got the answer. The store manager took back three stray cats, an orange cat, a black and white cow cat, and an American short hair cat.

Song Xinmin can understand that the last one is beautiful and short. After all, it's quite a popular pet cat. But are the first two native cats going to take back to the teahouse?

As a new employee, Xiao Song didn't ask. Instead, he silently watched the boss take the stray cat to the nearby pet clinic. After another hour, he brought them back.

When he saw the two native cats cleaned and cleaned, even song Xinmin had to praise them: "these two native cats are so beautiful!"

First of all, the orange cat was not covered with orange and yellow tiger stripes, but with white fur on its neck and limbs, especially the inverted triangular white hair from neck to chest and four snow-white claws, just like a beautiful gentleman wearing a white scarf and white gloves.

It's not as fat as people say, but it's smooth, handsome, squatting in a cage with a small head, handsome and elegant.

Another cow cat's coat color is as good as those pet cats on the market. It is covered with black hair, abdominal hair and snow-white limbs. The rarest thing is its head. The black covering from ear tip to eye tail is like the headgear worn by Batman, a superhero. It only gives a small inverted V to some hair on the nose. The black and white color is very clear from top to bottom It's on.

At this time, he stares at everything outside the cage with round eyes and tilts his head. From time to time, he meows to the store manager, as if he is inquiring about what kind of curious baby he looks like. It reminds song Xinmin of the rumor that cow cat is the second child in the cat world. The last one of

is the beauty of a pet cat. It is not so easy to tell. Its loveliness has long been recognized, especially what those girls will wear. Silver tiger stripes, two forepaws are white hand color, is the most calm of the three cats, lying on the side to lick their hair.

"Pretty?" Lin Lan patted the cage gently and said to the staff like showing off.

“NICE! The store manager has a good eye Song Xinmin praised that it is not easy to find such a good-looking one among a bunch of stray cats.

However, as wild cats, they are not suitable for staying in teahouses. When Xiao Song thought of this question and was about to ask it out, there was the sound of truck engine outside the door.

At the door of the small building, a container truck of a moving company stopped.

Along with the people from the moving company, there is Bai Fumei who rented a suite yesterday.

"It's her." As a stranger who wants to rent a house together, song Xinmin is certainly impressed. When the other party rented the house yesterday, he answered the rent without saying a few words. He was impressed by the pride of bargaining. Compared with his own in order to reduce the rent a little bit, Xiao Song is very sad.

Lin Lan took a look at him. He didn't speak. He stepped forward to the gate and looked out.

Today, the girl changed another suit. She was wearing a brown and red fur coat. She was dragging a 20 inch suitcase in her hand, and the other empty finger pointed to the stairway. She was talking to the people of the moving company. I could hear her voice.

"It's the second floor The one on the left You come with me I said, "you can put things wherever you want..."

With a little arrogant but not aware of the tone, the typical spoiled rich lady ah.

Why do you come to live here at the stall near the new year?

The author has something to say:

human employees, there are.

Cat employees, there are new comers.
