Old dog knows the way

(1) Dear readers, hello everyone, the old dog won’t eat the meat on the chopsticks.

As an old dog, it is necessary for me to introduce my team members to you.

Our team consists of one *** and four dogs. In addition to me, the dog leader, there are also Xiaobai, Xiaohei and Xiaohua. Among the four dogs, except Xiaohua, who is a female dog, the others are all male dogs.

We, like you humans, advocate equality between men and women. We are different from you humans. Female dogs don’t need betrothal gifts, and they don’t even need to have children.

The overall quality of our team is relatively high. Take me as an example. I came from a prestigious school family since I was a child. My owner was sunny and handsome, and he was a great basketball player. In order to pursue the school beauty, she told him that he liked dogs, so he went to the dog market to take me home.

They have elegant conversations every day, and sometimes they even speak foreign languages. As an authentic Chinese pastoral dog, to be honest, I don’t like foreign languages.

The owner treats me pretty well. I eat plenty of dog food and occasionally add a chicken leg.

It’s a pity that my master insisted on taking me on a poor trip to Tibet during my graduation year. Perhaps because they didn’t think well, I became a stumbling block on their way halfway.

There was no other way, so they gave me to a small owner who opened a restaurant on the side of the road. The small owner communicated with the owner in a dialect that I couldn't understand.

They probably thought I wouldn't go hungry in a restaurant. When we were leaving, my master and I held hands and looked at each other with tears in our eyes. The two of them agreed to pick me up again at this time next year, and I also wish him and the school beauty a smooth journey to the Jokhang Temple, attaining Bodhi as soon as possible, and attaining enlightenment.

At this time, I was no longer a puppy. I knew a lot of the rules of the world and knew that this was called Tuogu, so I stayed without saying a word.

The new owner probably thought that I was a big eater and had no place to visit. He often looked at me and praised me for being fat and strong. With my keen sense of smell, I felt I had to leave before winter came, because the new owner's restaurant had added a special dish - dog meat with peppercorns.

I knew that if I wanted to survive, I had to reach the edge of the city. So whenever the cars around me raise dust, I will cheer up and run hard.

Occasionally they would throw down a small stick wrapped in a red plastic wrapper. It had a bit of meat flavor inside, but more of flour.

As a native Chinese pastoral dog, I like to eat this very much. The energy produced by eating a red-skinned stick is enough for me to run thirty kilometers.

When there is no water to drink, I just lick the dewdrops at night. The temperature difference here is huge. I wear a leather jacket all year round. It was a gift from my mother when I was born.

If humans need it, I plan to dedicate it to my master at the end of my life, because his hands and feet are cold and his body is afraid of the cold.

Day and night, I finally reached the suburb where I wanted to live. There was a new garbage dump here, where expired food from supermarkets and swill from restaurants would be dumped.

This kind of place, where flies dance during the day and mice sing at night, is a paradise for our stray dogs and cats.

Sometimes I was unlucky and had no food for several days. I also robbed wild cats of their jobs, and occasionally caught a mouse and beat it as a tooth sacrifice. Here I have become a sharp guy in the dog world. I don’t bathe, don’t get a haircut, and don’t care about my external image.

In order to survive, I must remain highly vigilant, resist external aggressors, and protect my territory.

On a dark and windy night, with my dog ??eyes, I still spotted a little black dog looking for food on my property. Just when I was about to pounce, Xiao Hei suddenly took out a chicken steak and put it in front of me.

Then he sat aside and watched me enjoy the delicious meal. To be honest, I originally wanted to drive it away. Seeing how well-behaved it was, I understood the good intentions. After all, I hadn't eaten all day.

While I was eating, I looked at Xiao Hei. He is also a Chinese pastoral dog and we can speak the same language.

Heizi, when did you come here? Did the master treat you badly?

Brother, my master treated me well at first, but then he got rich and became impatient. He brought back a foreign girl and abandoned me.

Is your owner a male single dog?

You guessed it right, I am in my early thirties and I don’t have a girlfriend yet.

It would be weird if I didn’t leave you alone!

Brother, what’s wrong with society now?

I followed my master and worked hard without complaint, looking after the house and courtyard, and living a simple life. That foreign girl doesn't do any work. She only wants to eat and drink, and she also needs to wear clothes. She is the reincarnation of a vixen.

You are right, those foreign dogs are much worse than our Chinese pastoral dogs. I think you know the rules. This chicken steak is considered a certificate of honor. You can hang out with me from now on.

From then on, Xiao Hei and I stayed together, and Xiao Hei naturally became the second in command of my team. I am responsible for the daily management of this garbage dump, and Xiao Hei is responsible for the construction site canteen closest to the garbage dump.

I relied on my tallness, might, and sharp pace to repel all the powerful men. Xiao Hei used to act coquettishly and lick some chicken legs and chicken steaks at the entrance of the cafeteria to improve my food.

I could see the garbage dump not far away from my direction, and Xiao Hei’s end was facing the construction site canteen.

As the days gradually improved, the team also encountered a new crisis. I heard from Xiao Hei that the land at the garbage dump seems to be expropriated, and our team urgently needs to recruit a marketing manager.

Only in this way can we maintain sustainable development. So Xiaohei and I followed the garbage truck to the garbage terminal in the area.

This is the dog talent market in our dog world. All kinds of dog talents are available here. At night, Xiaohei and I grabbed a good stall.

Stray dogs who have just entered society with ideals walked past us. Some barked a few words, and some looked down upon themselves without looking back.

Finally, a little flower dog came, and it was dyed with curly hair, which looked a bit elegant.

I leave the interview to Xiao Hei.

Beauty, please take a seat!

Thank you!

Please introduce yourself.

I am a returnee from overseas and am proficient in Chinese Pastoral and Great British.

Xiao Hei turned to look at me, and I nodded. Xiaohei quickly introduced me to come for the re-examination.

Wait a minute, beauty, this is the boss of our team, his name is Pastoral Hero.

Hello Mr. Tian, ??I’m so happy to see you.

It can be seen that Xiaohua has seen the big world. Not only did she compliment me, she also shook hands with me.

Well, our team needs to grow and develop. I plan to open two branches along the way in half a year. I want you to be our marketing manager. What do you think?

That depends on the treatment?

Xiaohua has indeed accepted Western capitalist ideas and went straight to the topic.

The treatment is divided into two parts. Basic salary, food, housing and fun. As a bonus, after two months, one of the two branches will be given to you.

Deal.

Then prepare first and report to the suburban garbage station and cement pipe office tomorrow.

Claw again.

On the way back.

Mr. Tian, ??if you give her a bonus from a branch, will this beauty run away after working for two days?

Damn it, I was so anxious that I didn’t look at her ID card. I didn’t even know her life experience. According to her status as a returnee from overseas, the owner shouldn’t have abandoned her.

That’s right.

How about we go to work tomorrow and chat while eating.

Great idea.

At noon the next day, several dog barks were heard at the door of Cement Pipe’s office.

Are Mr. Tian and Mr. Hei here?

I quickly rubbed my eyes, got out my head, and barked a few times.

Welcome, Manager Hua, sit down in the office.

Why isn’t Mr. Hei here?

It’s time to prepare lunch. Our team takes care of food and accommodation, and we have weekends off.

It’s better to be your team.

Well, come in and talk.

I arranged for Xiaohua to sit in Xiaohei’s seat.

Mr. Tian, ??this office is quite exquisite, haha.

Don’t hide it from the manager. In the early stages of starting a business, if you don’t endure some hardships, you won’t be able to do much.

Same.

Hey, by the way, Manager Hua, I have something to say, I don’t know if I should ask it or not?

You are the boss, there is nothing you can’t ask.

How did you end up on this path? Did the master treat you badly?

The owner treated me well. I blame her for becoming a foreigner after becoming a foreign national.

How do you say this?

During the epidemic, our Greater China implemented closed management, and she went to the supermarket to buy food without wearing a mask. The key was to take me with her.

In the end, I had a conflict with the security guard. To be honest, I couldn’t stand it any longer and kept barking at her.

She threw me to the ground, but she didn’t land well either and was expelled from Greater China.

You deserve it!

That’s right, you deserve it. All my dogs have a Chinese pastoral heart, but she really thinks that she is a foreigner.

Xiao Hei returns.

Hello, Mr. Tian, ??Mr. Hua, there is a dog genius who insists on following me. I can’t understand the babble, and the pastoral dialect is also very lame. He said that when we queued for it yesterday, we were closing the stall. It secretly followed us outside in the cold all night, and it followed us out as soon as I went out today.

Fortunately, it helped, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get back any of these meals today.

As soon as Xiao Hei finished speaking, I quickly ended the conversation. After all, he was a foreigner.

Xiaobai, your persistence has moved the dog world. Tell us about your life experience! You can reserve talents as a team and expand overseas markets. If you don't mind it, become Manager Hua's assistant. He is a returnee from overseas and understands you better.

Xiao Bai immediately nodded and bowed, groveling. Chirping and barking a few words.

Xiaohua followed the interpreter, who said that the Chinese Garden Dog is the most noble dog breed in the world. It represents beauty and means kneeling and licking. Its owner has been quarantined by a large Eastern country because of COVID-19, and it has no choice but to wander around.

I took a closer look, and sure enough, Xiaobai was lying in front of me like a dog slave, with his head touching the ground and his butt sticking out high.

Flat body.

Xiaobai started barking immediately.

Xiaohua quickly translated.

Thank you, Pastoral King.

According to the plan, I set up two branches between the hotel where the owner and I broke up and the garbage dump. I used urine in these two locations respectively. Mark, an absolute treasure of Feng Shui. The few of us carry forward the spirit of Foolish Old Man to Move Mountains and transport some garbage to these places if there is nothing to do.

You humans may not understand our approach, but we firmly believe that wherever there is garbage, there are business opportunities. As long as the garbage is in place, rats, flies, and cockroaches will come uninvited. Don't underestimate these things, they are components of the food chain, and with them we can stand.

Because I was well organized and my team members were awesome, we quickly established two branches.

It’s all because I, the leader, am not strict in discipline and have a white-eyed dog. When encountering such foreign dogs running wild on the land of China, we decisively deport them. According to Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai seemed to have starved to death on the side of the road and was eaten by other animals.

The epidemic situation is gradually improving, and there are more and more tourists on the road. Xiaohua was taken away by a kind-hearted girl, and Xiaohei persisted until he was taken away by a kind-hearted young man.

Two days ago, I went to the restaurant of my owner’s hometown alone with my dog. Due to the epidemic, the restaurant was closed, and the special dish, dog meat with pepper, was also wiped off the wall. The days before my owner came to take me were getting longer and longer. It's close, I can give up all my external possessions at any time.

At this point, everyone should understand why I want to build a team and set up a branch! Because I am an old dog, I want to lead other stray dogs to live a happy life.

Okay, I’ve finished introducing my team members. By the way, I wish all the readers a successful career and be as stable as an old dog.
