Chapter 1516: Chapter 1391: Crying at the Zoo
They were eating happily here, while over at Mountain City Zoo, everyone from top to bottom breathed a sigh of relief.
More precisely, only those worried about Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Yu, Rongrong’s breeder, was overjoyed in the evening because throughout the day, Rongrong’s behavior was excellent! Her als were delicious! Even the newly arrived bamboo shoots and leaves chopped up into Balls she loved to eat!
No matter if Rongrong is really pregnant now, as long as she’s eating and drinking well, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
But compared to this, Mao Mao’s breeder was not happy.
They’re both national treasures, so why does the next door get to eat such expensive bamboo while our Mao Mao gets a lesser quality?
Even if Rongrong is pregnant—Rongrong has a history of false pregnancies, so who knows if it’s real! Our Mao Mao works diligently and sincerely, never pretending in relationships, so why doesn’t he deserve a special portion?
No way, we have to apply! We need to apply!
The panda team focuses on data, so let’s talk quality! Our Mao Mao deserves it!
The national treasures secretly worked hard for their als, but the leaders were having a hard ti. Finally, the issue with Mao Mao and Rongrong was resolved, with a promise to increase the procurent volu, but then another issue popped up!
Red pandas, giraffes, alpacas... In short, everyone started thinking about als too!
Even the old, giant tortoise applied!
They don’t dare to compare to the giant pandas eating six-dollar carrots and cabbages every al, but as a snack, how about sharing two carrots among seven or eight red pandas each day? Or a big cabbage every other day?
Really? Not even a big cabbage, is the zoo going bankrupt?!
The zoo is famous because nowadays, netizens don’t care much about animal performances; they care more about the enrichnt environnt and living standards, also the health status of the animals!
Just look at the red panda Ju Zi today, trying to sneak a bite of a carrot, clearly escaped the battlefield, only to be dragged back by the tail to continue fighting... The video is already trending, and it’s not even the next day!
So, is it going viral? Attracting tourists?!
So might say it’s not worth traveling all the way just for a zoo, but isn’t there a recently famous Changleju in Shan City, combining food and fun, it’s an amazing opportunity!
It’s a business opportunity!
In conclusion, applications are coming in layers, data reports piling up, the finance and logistics teams are staring at the actual quote of 20 dollars per pound, limited supply, wanting to cry but unable to.
Boo hoo, how to report at the year-end!
...
The zoo’s business wasn’t on Song Tan’s mind. They rested comfortably in the hotel for the night and, at Boss Chang’s invitation, had breakfast at a newly opened tea house the next morning.
This tea house was renovated from the forr Youran Ecological Vegetable Garden. It cost quite a bit, but the resulting tea house had an endless stretch of scenery, winding paths leading to secluded spots, offering both privacy and a sense of fun.
In the morning, a storyteller sat in the open tea house lobby on the first floor, not telling anything else but the currently popular web novels.
And to be honest, seeing everyone holding teapots and munching on sunflower seeds, listening quite attentively!
To this, Song Tan was amazed: "Boss Chang, aren’t you worried that this approach lacks a bit in high-end flair?"
Boss Chang shook his head with joy: "You don’t understand, we’re reviving the tea house mainly for nostalgia—look, my first-floor lobby is booming, with storytelling in the morning, cross talk at noon, and theatre performances at night. Right in the middle of the lobby, visible from the floors above, that’s our nostalgia the."
"The first floor focuses on small, boutique offerings, but it’s low margin, high volu, all for the nostalgia the."
As he spoke, he led everyone upstairs. The wooden staircase had a gentle sheen, stepping quietly, and once the door curtain was drawn, the downstairs noise seed a bit distant.
Entering the private room, closing the door, the soundproofing materials made with a high budget improved the room’s insularity.
"For the private rooms upstairs, they’re for serious tea-drinking discussions."
"Our morning tea isn’t like the coastal ones, but if you want to eat, you can order. Ingredients and chefs are from there, authentic—do you want to try these stead spareribs with black bean sauce and chicken feet, radish cakes and such?"
Qiaoqiao looked around the spacious private room and finally said, "Sister, I want to listen to the story outside."
Boss Chang bead with joy: "I told you, contemporary web novels are captivating!"
"Traditional storytelling is also available, but later. Ours is on a schedule. But I’ve noticed many peers listening to audiobooks on their phones, all about war gods and business empires..."
Lun Chuan, as an insider, curiously asked: "If you’re storytelling offline, are you paying copyright fees?"
Boss Chang wasn’t stingy about this, nodding at the mont: "I paid, it’s cheap! Negotiated it down to twenty thousand per book... Later, they can even include this performance in their book introduction!"
anwhile, Qiaoqiao couldn’t wait to rush out, with the door gap revealing the storyteller’s voice below: "At this mont, the war god returns ho, only to find his daughter in—"
But Boss Chang still sat properly, using the high-priced handmade pot specially bought by the store to skillfully brew tea—since green tea is best appreciated with glass, this is even a glass teapot!
Seeing this, Song Tan was speechless, but instead curious: "How much is this pot?"
Boss Chang thought for a mont but couldn’t recall: "Bought too many, probably a few thousand! Green tea has this disadvantage, it’s not easy to match with other appreciation tools. Like my other oolong tea, pu’er tea, those handmade purple clay teapots for those, the starting price is basically eight or nine thousand."
Song Tan thought: So money indeed has to be earned by others!
But the freshly served stead pork ribs were quite delicious, the morning tea set on another small table near the window, the new air system continuously circulating, making the room’s air clean and fresh, with a faint rich bitter tea fragrance in the corner...
Seeing Song Tan looking over, Boss Chang proudly said: "These consud tea leaves are dried again, ground, and mixed in the incense powder of the censer. Although there’s a bit of scorched bitter taste when burned, the tea fragrance also diffuses."
"That’s waste utilization!"
"Now they’re all praising my tea house for its good aroma!"
But of course, it’s not without regrets, guests co and keep brewing the tea soup until it’s like boiled water. So even want to pour the unfinished tea into their cups to take away, complaining it’s Boss Chang’s hunger marketing not to sell...
In conclusion, the over-brewed ones taste significantly less good.
Hearing this, Song Tan couldn’t help but look at Lun Chuan—if not mistaken, Lun Chuan was also working on such tea aroma?
Lun Chuan nodded: "Tried doing so, still in the natural drying process."
