Chapter 656 - Chapter 656 656. Secret Recipe Dog Food_1

Chapter 656: 656. Secret Recipe Dog Food_1 Chapter 656: 656. Secret Recipe Dog Food_1 $3,000 for a fake debt, it’s really hard to settle!

Song Tan felt a pang of anxiety and thought to herself, if she’d known earlier, why bother lying in the first place? Considering that $3,000 was already the bottom price for a single dog, her mom would definitely not say such things now.

But now, all she could do was calmly accept the grumbling about “giving away dogs with additional payment” and even had to squeeze out a smile, “Mom, don’t say that, they’re all heroes.”

Wu Lan turned her head to look at the limping Yingjun in the yard, finding herself at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao had already joyfully spread out several cardboard pieces under the corridor, “Good doggies, you sleep here for a few days, okay? Once your injuries are better, you can go back up to the mountain.”

Otherwise, there aren’t enough doghouses on the mountain, what if it rains?

Zhu Xin had some hesitation, “Just let them sleep here?”

Even though they’ll be sheltered from sun and rain here, isn’t it a bit too dismissive?

However, Qiaoqiao completely missed his dissatisfaction and was just happily petting the dogs one by one, then raising her voice,

“Sister, should we feed them now?”

“Yes!” Song Tan responded eagerly, “Go find some bowls and mix some luxurious dog food!”

At the same time, she hurriedly called out to Wu Lan, “Mom, Zhu Xin specially helped us transport the dogs, I’m inviting him to stay for dinner, why don’t you go cut a watermelon first?”

Wu Lan’s eyes lit up.

But Zhu Xin waved his hand, “Auntie, really, no need, I’ll be heading to the city later, my cousin is getting married tomorrow, I need to see if there’s anything I can help with…”

The reason he hadn’t left yet was because he was beating an internal drum in his mind. Because he noticed that the living conditions of these dogs were different from what Song Tan had confidently promised before!

Although the specifics of their care weren’t detailed at the time, surely they didn’t involve just laying down cardboard in the corridor to sleep, right?

And yet, for some reason, the dogs didn’t seem to mind their new home at all, as if anyone could touch them, simply lying down wherever they were told… Even Cang Er, who couldn’t even hear, followed the others without any hesitation and didn’t trip up at all!

It made one think, if they had been this cooperative earlier, why did their wounds take so long to heal thoroughly!

Especially Duoduo, lying on an old sheet, not struggling when told not to, staying completely still…

Meanwhile, Song Tan watched as Big King and the others each returned to the mountain. After looking around the living room, she came out and gently petted each dog’s head,

“Are you hot? Eat something first and then we’ll go inside to enjoy the air conditioning, okay? We can come out to sleep when it’s cooler in the evening.”

Princess and Yingjun grunted, clearly understanding.

Song Tan then turned around to invite Zhu Xin, “Xiaozhu, it’s so hot outside! Come inside, it’s cooler.”

“No, no,” Zhu Xin declined steadfastly now, “I will first see if they have a good appetite when eating…”

His words were subtle, but in reality, he wanted to see if the family provided good food for the dogs. He just felt something was off.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Qiaoqiao arrived with a big red bucket, holding a ladle and four stainless steel bowls in her hands.

“Good doggies, it’s time to eat!” She exclaimed enthusiastically, then placed the bowls in order and ladled out some strange, thick, and messy substance that looked like pig feed.

It was hard to describe what color it was.

It seemed to be some sort of mash mixed with water, with random bits of vegetable leaves, melon peel, pumpkin chunks, and other things, and also some soaked grains of something… what was this?

He didn’t speak rashly but simply watched the dogs in silence.

The moment the food was poured into the bowls, all the dogs started snorting eagerly, impatient to lower their heads, including Duoduo, who struggled to crawl forward, then buried her head and ate with a loud crunching noise.

It was as if they had endured a long fasting training and were finally allowed to eat by their owner.

Zhu Xin was a bit dumbfounded–just, how could it be? That bowl of stuff didn’t look appetizing at all, saying it was pig slop wasn’t an exaggeration.

How come it didn’t resemble the food they fed the dogs, with big chunks of meat and bones, visibly hearty! Why hadn’t he seen them eat so greedily before?

“What exactly are you feeding them?”

He looked at Qiaoqiao–after all, she seemed pure and innocent, probably not one to lie.

Qiaoqiao indeed started counting on her fingers: “Vegetable leaves, corn kernels, sweet potato vine, watermelon rind, pumpkin chunks, dog food, and the leftover meat from lunch! And also…”

“And the secret recipe dog food!” Song Tan added from the side.

Zhu Xin was somewhat skeptical.

He bent down to push aside the greedy dogs to look, but the well-behaved dogs pushed their noses against the bowls, scraping them to the side, successfully avoiding his hand as if they were afraid he would steal their food.

When Yingjun, who was closest, lifted his head, he still had a small piece of dried fish in his mouth.

Zhu Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!

He thought: I knew it–the leaders would never let these dogs be in a family that has to eat bran and swallow vegetables. This really is the secret recipe dog food, and the good stuff isn’t even showing.

Look at this dried fish; it’s fragrant even when pulled out of the soup. He truly had been suspicious without cause.

Zhu Xin felt somewhat ashamed.

Seeing that Duoduo, who had been weak before, had already finished a round of food and was now looking eagerly at Qiaoqiao, he couldn’t help but be excited:

“Duoduo hasn’t had such a good appetite in a long time!”

Qiaoqiao, looking at the bandage on her body, turned her head to Song Tan: “Sister, she seems still hungry…”

“That won’t do.”

Song Tan shook her head: “Let’s still put a base layer; we’ll feed her more during dinner. But remember, we have to feed Duoduo less, she hasn’t eaten much for a long time, we don’t want her to get bloated.”

“Okay, then I’ll save some extra egg yolks for them tonight.”

Now what they had in abundance at home were packs of brined goods. Eating tea eggs regularly, others were fine, but Qiaoqiao was getting a little tired of them. The yolks were always too dry to swallow, and she would secretly add them to the dogs’ meals.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xin was completely relieved.

Watching as Qiaoqiao had put away the stainless steel bowls, and as the dogs followed Song Tan’s lead, entering the spacious living room one by one, and settling down near the wall to cool off without any reservations, he carried Duoduo’s sheet inside, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Maybe it was psychological, but Princess and the others, although they had just eaten, seemed much more spirited than when they first got out of the car.

As the pressure in his mind eased, he suddenly felt more lively. Seeing Wu Lan enter the room, he spoke up again:

“Auntie, the decoration of your house is really beautiful, and it’s built so impressively. I’ve never seen such a beautiful villa before… Ah, don’t cut the watermelon, really, don’t go to any trouble, I’m about to leave…”

“Leave? What for?”

Wu Lan was exceptionally enthusiastic and quickly handed him a cup of cold tea:

“This is the Yuxing Grass Tea specially blended by Doctor Xiaoguo from our village. The Yuxing Grass was dug up from the side of our pond, it’s really refreshing in the summer. Here, have a taste!”
