Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 271 Public washing and care exhibition!Undercurrent is surging!

A day is either fast or slow.

With the eager anticipation of the fifteen foster care shops, the negotiated public care display officially kicked off.

Early in the morning, fifteen shopkeepers gathered at a pre-arranged place.

For most of them, this was the first time they saw each other after coming to Yaomu City.

For a while, complimentary greetings such as "I have long admired my name" continued, and no one showed the slightest contempt for Xu Ran, the youngest among the 15 people.

After all, it was he who started this confrontation between local and foreign foster care shops.

Everyone has heard more or less about the previous conflict between Xinghuo Nursing Home and Huanyu Nursing Home, so they also know that this young man who looks a little immature has strong cleaning skills.

A simple and relaxed conversation also allowed Xu Ran to get acquainted with other people.

The foster care shop owners in front of me come from more than ten secondary towns, covering almost all the secondary towns in Beast Domain No. 47.

Considering the possibility of opening a branch in the other party's city in the future, Xu Ran also had the idea of ​​establishing good relations with them.

"Okay." Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Fengyun interrupted everyone's conversation with a smile, "As for the rest, it's not too late to wait until the public cleaning event is over."

"Let's go, our activity venue is almost set up. Let's see if it meets your washing and care needs."

Hearing this, everyone stopped chatting and showed a look of excitement on their faces.

For public washing and care demonstrations, the most worrying issue for everyone here is whether the washing and care needs can be met.

After all, they each have their own way of washing and caring, and the materials and props required for these washing and caring methods are also different.

There is a saying that goes well, a clever woman cannot cook without rice.

If the needs of their care methods cannot be met, it will inevitably affect the effect of public care displays.

Everyone came to participate in this event simply because they wanted to gain more visibility and customers for their stores through the before-and-after comparative display of washing and care effects.

If such a situation occurs, then participating in the event may have the opposite effect. Not only will it fail to increase your popularity and customer base, it will instead cause the original customers to be lost.

As for everyone's concerns, Liu Fengyun naturally took them into consideration.

Therefore, yesterday, he once again went to each door one by one to find the owners of various foster care shops and asked them to provide a list of care needs, and he made unified purchases and arrangements.

Now that these necessities have been arranged, he has the confidence to let the other fourteen bosses come to see it.

"Okay!" In the crowd, a tall man with a beard on his face who looked quite bold laughed, "Boss Liu is really very efficient!"

Qi Cang, the owner of the Canglang foster care shop, comes from the secondary town of Junlong City.

"In that case, let's all go and take a look." Another beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a slim dress pursed her lips and smiled, and spoke softly.

Du Huayan, the owner of Baihua Nursing Store, comes from Minghui City, a secondary town.

Other foster care shop owners followed Liu Fengyun's footsteps and entered Yaomu Market.

The Yaomu Market has just opened in the morning, but the city is already quite lively.

And this kind of excitement is not the same as when Xu Ran came last time.

It seems that because it is breakfast time, there are many more foods suitable for breakfast along the street. Not only are humans queuing up to buy them, but there are also occasionally a few wild extraordinary creatures that come early in the queue.

Xu Ran even saw Xiao Ye Itachi in the queue in front of the stall.

This is a dark extraordinary creature that moves at night and sleeps during the day. Judging from its sleepy appearance, it probably plans to go to sleep after eating this meal.

So... this is considered a midnight snack for it?
Thinking of this, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

Just as he was looking around, feeling interesting about the other side of the Yaomu Market in the morning, a gust of fragrant wind hit him, and there was a lunch box in front of him.

"Boss Xu, this is yours." Du Huayan smiled and put the lunch box in Xu Ran's hand, and then handed another lunch box to another foster care shop owner next to him.

"Thank you, Sister Du!" Xu Ran came back to his senses, quickly thanked the other party, and then opened the lunch box in his hand.

The lunch box contained food sold at one of the stalls I just passed by.

It seems that Du Huayan bought breakfast for himself and bought everyone else's breakfast by the way.

Although he had already eaten before coming, Xu Ran had no intention of wasting this goodwill.

"Come on, try them all." Looking at the three little ones who were looking at them curiously, Xu Ran smiled and picked up the delicious food with a bamboo skewer in the lunch box and enjoyed it with them.

When the lunch boxes became empty, the group of people had already reached the center and most prosperous area of ​​Yaomu Market.

The main skyscraper road.

At this moment, they are in the middle of the main skyscraper road, which can be said to be the center of the entire Yaomu Market.

There is a large open-air square at this location, and at this moment, this square has been temporarily rented and a very large stage has been built.

The stage was temporarily blocked entirely, preventing others from seeing what was inside. Outside the stage, many passers-by and wild supernatural creatures stopped curiously to look at it, wanting to see what was inside.

"Boss Liu, why are you covering up so tightly?" Looking at the scene in front of him, the loud Qi Cang shouted, "Didn't you say that you should wash your clothes in public?"

"Don't worry, Boss Qi." Liu Fengyun smiled and said calmly, "When it's time to start, these curtains will be removed."

"But for now... let's keep it closed for now."

Noticing the looks everyone was looking at, Liu Fengyun took the initiative to explain before anyone else could ask, "You should also have seen that there are many passers-by and wild extraordinary creatures stopping to watch at the moment."

"Leaving a sense of mystery can arouse more curiosity among them, so that when the event officially begins, more people will come on stage to try it."

"Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The more important reason is..." Liu Fengyun paused for a moment and quickly lowered his voice, "We are joining forces this time to fight against the local foster care shop."

"They took the lead in joining forces to suppress us, and we just had no choice but to fight back." Liu Fengyun paused, "Although we are not afraid of them, in order to make the event more secure, it is better to let them get the news later."

"Boss Liu's concerns are reasonable." Du Huayan smiled and said, "It seems that it is a wise choice for everyone to leave this matter to Boss Liu."

"Boss Du, you're welcome." Liu Fengyun smiled brightly, "Let's stop standing here and go in and take a look at the venue."

“I am quite satisfied with the venue layout this time.”

After saying that, he took the lead to walk to a small door not far away, pushed it open and entered the interior of the stage, which was still closed at the moment.

The other fourteen foster care shop owners, including Xu Ran, heard this and followed suit.

Soon, the washing area suddenly opened up in front of everyone's eyes.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

Because, although the stage in front of me has only been set up since last night, it is already very complete.

Several weaker foster care shops even feel that the foster care venues in front of them are better than those in their own stores.

"Everyone, check to see if there are any missing equipment for washing and care. You must prepare them before the official start of the event." Liu Fengyun took out a lottery tube from the table beside and shook it. "After confirming, it's time to draw lots to decide everyone." It’s show time.”

"There's nothing wrong with mine." Qi Cang walked around the foster care facility with long strides. He quickly returned and said that everything he needed for care was here, and then took out a bamboo stick from the lottery tube in Liu Fengyun's hand. .

After taking a look, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is so lucky..."

As he spoke, he passed the bamboo stick in his hand to others to see.

The number "1" was clearly written on the bamboo stick.

This means that Qi Cang needs to be cleaned and cared for in the first period of time.

"Boss Qi, don't worry, the first time period starts at eight o'clock and ends at ten o'clock. Although the passenger flow is less during this time period, it lasts longer than other time periods." Liu Fengyun explained with a smile.

"Yes, Boss Qi was the first to finish the inspection, the first to draw lots, and the first time slot was drawn. This is a good sign." Du Huayan pursed her lips and smiled, "Maybe the most popular foster care shop today, Is this our Canglang foster care shop?"

"Don't you dare!" Hearing this, Qi Cang waved his hands repeatedly, "Okay, then I'll make a fool of myself for everyone."

While chatting and laughing, the second foster care shop owner inspected the care equipment he needed and came back to draw lots.

Then came the third, fourth...

By the time Xu Ran took the three little ones to confirm the need for foster care, it was already the ninth time to draw lots.

"Boss Xu, please." Liu Fengyun smiled and handed Xu Ran the lottery tube with only seven bamboo sticks left in his hand.

"Okay." Xu Ran took a deep breath, and then took out a bamboo stick at random.

What catches the eye is the number "5".

"The fifth time period is from two o'clock in the afternoon to three o'clock in the afternoon." Qi Cang smiled, "Boss Xu is very lucky. He got one of the time periods with the highest flow of people. But in this way, the time will also change. It’s reduced a bit.”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Ran nodded understandingly.

The higher the flow of people, the shorter the time period will be. This is what was said before.

This arrangement is not based on the number of guests.

After all, the time required for washing and caring may vary, whether it is an hour or two hours, and there are only so many pet beasts that can be cared for.

What it considers is exposure.

For the same length of time, if Xu Ran's time period draws twice as many people as Qi Cang's time period, twice as many people will know about the Xinghuo Nursing Home, and Qi Cang's time will naturally need to be extended to compensate.

From this point of view, there is no problem with this arrangement.

After Xu Ran, five more foster care shop owners came to draw lots.

The last bamboo stick in the lottery tube belongs to Liu Fengyun himself.

"Everyone has finished drawing lots and knows your exhibition time." Liu Fengyun shook the empty lottery tube in his hand.

"Then it's time for the activities to begin."

Although he finished speaking, the closed stage curtain was opened under the control of the staff, and the scene inside the stage appeared in the eyes of passers-by and wild supernatural creatures outside the stage who were waiting for curious comments.

The 15 people on the stage also saw the surprised expressions of passers-by and wild extraordinary creatures outside the stage.

"Then, the time will be handed over to Boss Qi." Liu Fengyun patted Qi Cang on the shoulder and pointed to a man who walked quickly toward the crowd and held up a loudspeaker, "This is today's event. The host Zhou Hang, just leave the hosting to him."

"Please give me your advice." Zhou Hang smiled politely, and then turned on the loudspeaker in his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen! Friends from the Yaomu Domain! Hello everyone!"

With the help of loudspeakers, his voice resounded throughout the central square of the main skyscraper road, and more and more people and beasts who heard the voice gathered towards this side.

Liu Fengyun and the other thirteen foster care shop owners looked at each other and left the stage silently.

For the next two hours, the stage belonged to Qi Cang and his Canglang foster care shop.

"You don't have to stay here all the time." After walking off the stage, looking at the other thirteen foster care shop owners including Xu Ran, Liu Fengyun smiled and said, "I have informed you of your time in advance. As long as you are within the prescribed time, Just come back before the time comes."

However, after Liu Fengyun said these words, no one present had any intention of leaving.

"Boss Liu is joking." One of the bosses with a goatee chuckled and touched the smooth beard on his chin. "How can I have such a rare opportunity to communicate with everyone about skin care?" Did you miss it?"

"Our Shengtian Nursing Store has specially suspended operations for one day for today's event, just so that we can take this opportunity to learn the washing and care skills of our colleagues."

"same!"

After the foster care shop owner finished speaking, many people laughed and responded.

Apparently, everyone thinks the same thing. "Meow?" (Are we going to stay too?)

Ziyun leaned close to Xu Ran's ear, lowered her voice and asked quietly.

"Yes." Xu Ran nodded, with a bit of expectation on his face, "I plan to stay too and see how other nursing care shops treat them."

His care is taught systematically, and there are definitely some differences from the care methods of other nursing homes in the world.

Now, he has his own opinions on care and nursing. It is also an opportunity to expand his knowledge by observing and learning the methods of other nursing care shops.

This was one of the reasons why he agreed to Liu Fengyun's invitation.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the three little ones, Xu Ran naturally knew what they were thinking, "You three can go back to the store to train. You don't have to stay with me all the time."

"If I need you anywhere, I will summon you in advance."

"exactly!)

Cancan nodded heavily, with a bit of excitement in his eyes.

"Of course, we can only go back to the store for training, and there is no need to talk about leaving the city." Xu Ran quickly added, dispelling explorer Can's petty thoughts.

"Just..." (Okay...)
The light in Cancan's eyes went out.

It becomes an explorer without dreams.

"Okay." Xu Ran smiled helplessly, "Today's event is over, and I will take you out of the city to see it tomorrow."

A few days have passed since the last time Cancan and Xingchen sneaked out for an adventure.

If it weren't for this little incident, Xu Ran might have taken them out of the city the day before yesterday to see the place Cancan discovered.

So after this event is over, a trip out of the city should be put on the agenda.

"Cha!" (Yeah!)

Cancan's mood was like a roller coaster, and it became clear again in an instant.

Ziyun and Cancan climbed onto Xingchen's back, and the three little ones nodded towards Xu Ran, then disappeared.

Looking away from the departing figures of the three little ones, Xu Ran had a look of anticipation on his face after returning to the stage.

After the host made a brief opening statement and introduced the rules of the event, the first attempter has now taken the stage.

It was a beast master. Judging from his slightly reserved look, it was obvious that he had never tried to let a pet animal receive care from a foster care shop before.

"Sir, in the past few months after Xuanmulu was no longer born, how did you help the pet beast clean its body?"

"Um...rinse with the faucet?"

"But your pet is a fire attribute pet."

During a few questioning conversations that made the onlookers burst into laughter, Qi Cang walked up to the guests and looked at his somewhat wild face with a rather believable expression at the moment, "Please feel free to hand over your pet." Give it to me and I’ll make it new again.”

"Okay… okay."

The beast master nodded, and the six-pointed star array behind him lit up. In the strong wind, a furry monkey with its whole body burning with flames appeared in everyone's sight.

Extraordinary level of fire, leader of the race, little flame monkey.

Compared with the healthy and good-looking little inflammation monkey, the flames burning around the little inflammation monkey in front of me are obviously not that strong. At the same time, the color of the flame is also a little dim. It can be seen with the naked eye that its condition is not good.

"Well... please come with me!" After walking around the little Flame Monkey and confirming its specific condition, Qi Cang clearly had a plan for his care. He pointed to the wash stand with a confident look on his face. Signaling the little Flame Monkey and its beastmaster to follow.

Not long after, the little Yanhou had been placed on the washing table, and Qi Cang also started the preparations for washing.

In the audience, the owners of the foster care shop, who had found a good viewing seat under the leadership of Liu Fengyun, concentrated on observing the details of Qi Cang's preparation and also began to discuss and communicate.

"The little Flame Monkey just now looked in very bad condition. This kind of care is not easy. I don't know if Boss Qi can handle it."

"I feel that if this little inflammation monkey is left to me, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult. I hope that when it's my turn, it won't be such a rare person to take care of."

"Haha, who knows?"

"... "

Listening to the exchanges between other bosses, Xu Ran had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

In the systematic evaluation, the care needs of the little inflammation monkey in front of me are four stars, which is not easy to care for.

Of course, this is for others.

For Xu Ran, the little Flame Monkey in front of him was not enough to faze him.

In just a moment, the corresponding care plan appeared in his mind.

and so…

What he is more curious about now is how this Qicang boss will respond?

Under the eyes of Xu Ran and other bosses, Qi Cang quickly completed the preparations and then started the formal cleaning.

In his hand, there was a dark red stone with a rough surface.

"Is that a flint stone?" One of the foster care shop owners said in a low voice, "This thing is good at igniting fire. Is Boss Qi planning to take a fire bath?"

The so-called fire bath is to use pyrotechnic materials to ignite some special flammable resources, allowing these resources to release the energy contained inside during the burning process, and flow into the body of the pet to nourish and repair it energetically.

This kind of method can basically only be used by fire-type pet beasts.

Right now, this little Flame Monkey is just right.

"No, it's not a fire bath." Another foster care shop owner had a closer relationship with Qi Cang. He had obviously learned about Qi Cang's skin care methods before, and now he said with a smile, "What Boss Qi is good at is the stone washing method. .”

"Huh?" The owner of the foster care shop who proposed the fire bath had a look of confusion on his face, "Stone washing method? What is that..."

"呵啦~"

A scratching sound from the stage interrupted his words.

Everyone looked up and saw Qi Cang holding the fire flint in his hand, grazing the side of Little Flame Monkey's body at a tricky angle. The moment the little Flame Monkey's fur scraped against the fire flint, a line of fire flew into the air.

The little inflammation monkey's facial features were slightly wrinkled, as if it was enduring pain, but not long after each scratch of the flint stone, its wrinkled facial features would gradually relax, and a look of relief appeared on its face.

Later, the painful expression was completely gone, replaced by complete comfort, which even made the little Yanhou couldn't help but hum.

And the flames ignited around it also became visibly stronger with every scratch, and the crimson flames billowed up, giving the entire washstand a layer of redness.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers quickly burst into uproar, and the uproar was also mixed with different animal roars.

Obviously, not only human beastmasters are moved by this obvious cleaning effect, but wild extraordinary creatures are also moved by this.

"This stone washing method is Boss Qi's specialty. It looks like it's just scratching the surface of the body with fire-attribute minerals, but in fact it's a lot more elaborate." The owner of the foster care shop who spoke before laughed.

"I've heard of this method, but it seems to be quite limiting, right?" Another foster care shop owner couldn't help but said, "Only some pets are suitable."

"That's natural." A former foster care shop owner nodded, "There is no way to care for pets that is suitable for all pets."

"What we need to do is to develop corresponding care methods based on the conditions of our pets."

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but nod in agreement.

On the stage, the care of Little Flame Monkey ended quickly. The animal master was obviously very satisfied with the effect of the care. After listening to the host's introduction to the reward rules, he gave 5000 yuan without hesitation. Express your gratitude.

This price is already higher than the price of pet care for small animals in Canglang Nursing Store. It makes other foster care shop owners excited and eager to try it.

At the event site, because of this perfect start, the atmosphere quickly became enthusiastic. After the beast master of the little Flame Monkey stepped off the stage, the audience immediately became extremely enthusiastic.

The atmosphere of the open-air cleaning and care display is completely different from that of the Huanyu Nursing Store.

At this moment, the door of Huanyu Nursing Home is temporarily closed, and a wooden sign that reads "Suspended" is hung on the door.

But the Huanyu Nursing Home is not deserted. On the contrary, there are more people than before.

In addition to the boss Liu Yu, there are about ten men and women with different temperaments.

However, none of their faces look good at this moment.

"Everyone, I believe you have also received the news." Liu Yu's voice was slightly low, "Those out-of-town foster care shops have joined forces."

"They held a public washing and care display at Yaomu Market to gain popularity for themselves."

"You should know that this approach poses a considerable threat to us."

"What's not a threat?" One of the bosses snorted, disapprovingly, "If they can do it, so can we."

"Tomorrow, we can hold a similar event. With our popularity in Yaomu City, we can win back the guests attracted by them in minutes."

"Boss Tian, ​​what you said is a bit funny." Another boss couldn't help shaking his head, "If our washing and care technology is really that good, do we still need to join forces to suppress them?"

Having said that, everyone was silent.

Yes.

These stores can be invited by Yaomu City Beast Controllers Association from various secondary towns to settle in, and their strength goes without saying.

On the other hand, they have never been involved in the cleaning and care service industry before. Many things are just crossing the river by trial and error. In terms of experience in cleaning and care services, they are simply incomparable with their counterparts.

If they are really strong, how can these local foster care shops, which already have extremely high popularity and reputation, be threatened by a few outsiders with no local roots?
It is easy to do public washing and care demonstrations, but it is not easy either.

It's easy to just borrow a venue and set up a stage.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the local foster care shops in Yaomu City are currently very sparse about the cleaning and care techniques they have developed and are unwilling to disclose them to the public.

Even if they are willing to make it public, if the child has already been cared for publicly in a foster care shop in other places, such imitation is just a trick that only adds to the laughter.

"Like them, it is definitely not possible to carry out such public cleaning." Liu Yu shook his head and rejected the proposal, "But we cannot just sit back and wait for death."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, everyone nodded.

Apparently, they had the same idea.

The other side has already launched a move, so they can't just lie down and take the move, right?
"Boss Liu, you look like you have an idea?" One of the bosses looked at Liu Yu carefully and then suddenly spoke.

"I do have an idea." Liu Yu nodded, "It's just that I need some help from you all."

"Aren't they going to make the skin care public? Then make it more difficult for them." Liu Yu paused, "As long as their skin care effect is not good, then the activity will naturally ruin its reputation."

"I need you to help me find some pet beasts that are extremely difficult to care for, and let their beast masters pretend to be passers-by on the stage."

"They always have pets that they can't protect, right?"

The other bosses looked at each other, and then all had smiles on their faces.

this way…

Wonderful!
