Chapter 17 Baby?
"By the way, why is there only Big Bear in your zoo, and no Little Bear?"
Seeing Cheng Hao walking ahead, Li Xiaoyu suddenly asked.
She had actually wanted to ask about it yesterday after seeing the description on the sign.
But I haven't had the chance until today, and now I finally have time to ask this question.
After all, Xiong Da and Xiong Er have always been linked as an IP, but Xiong Er was nowhere to be seen in this zoo.
They didn't even see Cuihua.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao, who was walking ahead, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Why does everyone like to ask such pointless questions?
Furthermore, I'd like to ask which of the legendary strategists, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, gave him this name? Couldn't they have chosen a different one?
He thought "Black Bear King" sounded better than this.
"Because the zoo's profits were consistently low, they stopped keeping any more bears."
"The name 'Big Bear' was just a publicity stunt," Sister Hong replied awkwardly.
When the zoo was first built, the original plan was to make it a well-known zoo.
However, with the rise of short videos on the Internet, coupled with all kinds of entertainment activities, very few people are willing to visit the zoo anymore.
Therefore, in order for the zoo to continue operating.
Many animals have been cut, especially those that are expensive and have large appetites.
As a result, only one of the originally planned "Big Bear and Little Bear" characters remained.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why your zoo only has Big Bear." Li Xiaoyu nodded after hearing this.
Then he added:
"However, the location of your zoo is indeed too remote. If you changed the location, it would be much better."
Although zoos are not doing well these days, she thinks the problem with this zoo is more about its location.
After all, it takes a lot of effort just to get here from the city.
After a bit of fussing around, the day is over.
"Our principal is aware of this issue, but land near the city is priced differently."
"So we've decided to build it here anyway," Sister Hong'er said helplessly.
They were naturally very clear about the issues the other party was raising.
But the economic situation doesn't allow it, so this is the only way.
"There's really no other way!" Li Xiaoyu nodded in agreement after hearing the explanation.
So I stopped worrying about the "no Xiong Er" issue.
The topic shifted to animal husbandry.
After all, they are truly professionals in this area.
"So, this big hamster isn't an adult yet, it's still a baby?" Li Xiaoyu stared in astonishment at Cheng Hao, who was carrying the goods in front of her.
She's so big, and you're telling her she's not even an adult yet? How big would an adult brown bear have to be?
"You can't really call him a baby, after all, he's already several years old," Sister Hong'er explained with a smile.
"But isn't he a little too big?"
As Li Xiaoyu spoke, an indescribable expression crossed her face.
"It is indeed quite large! But that's how artificially bred brown bears are, of course, it's also related to their genes."
Hong'er naturally understood what the other party meant.
However, there are still many examples of large-sized brown bears in captivity, so it's not uncommon.
"Okay!" After hearing this, Li Xiaoyu was speechless with emotion.
However, the doubts have been answered.
She said that this big brown bear looked so big, but it was as timid as a hamster.
The feeling is that he is a child who is 1.8 meters tall but only seven or eight years old.
"Hmph~ (So, sister, you know I'm not an adult yet, and you still make me do this kind of work. Doesn't that count as child labor?)" Cheng Hao couldn't help but speak up after listening to their conversation.
He's not a baby anymore, that's true, but he's not an adult either, so this looks like child labor no matter how you look at it.
He felt that the animal protection association should come and protect him.
"Stop whining, you little rascal, and hurry up and go."
Upon hearing this, Sister Hong'er, who was walking with Li Xiaoyu, immediately urged them on.
"Waaah~ (You only bully bears.)" Cheng Hao immediately complained upon hearing this.
"Sister, are you having a conversation?" Li Xiaoyu asked curiously after seeing this.
The two, one human and one bear, engaged in a smooth question-and-answer session, as if they could truly understand each other.
"Almost! I've raised this little bear since he was a cub, so he knows me well and can understand what I'm saying."
"Whimsical whimpers are usually a response, while sobbing sounds are either a sign of grievance or an attempt to play the victim," Sister Hong explained.
"I see! I've learned another trick."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoyu nodded.
I thought to myself, "Indeed, there are 360 professions, and every profession can produce an expert."
"Sir! You've arrived."
"Is there anything we need to do to assist you?"
Before the two people and the bear knew it, they had already arrived at the bear enclosure.
Upon seeing this, the kindergarten director, who was supervising the construction, quickly came to greet him.
"Mr. Director, you don't need to be so polite! Don't always call me 'Sir,' just call me Little Fish."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyu waved his hand and said.
It wasn't that she was being polite; it was just that she wasn't quite used to hearing that form of address.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, old man. Miss Xiaoyu, is there anything we can help you with?"
Upon hearing this, the kindergarten director did not insist.
He immediately changed his form of address and continued to ask questions.
"No, that's not it. I just wanted to ask the headmaster to help prepare the meals."
"After all, as you know, this place is a bit too remote, and it's not very convenient to get meals here."
As Li Xiaoyu spoke, she took a piece of paper out of her pocket:
"This shows the number of diners, and also lists the foods they are allergic to or have dietary restrictions on."
"As for the meal expenses, please have the principal pay for it first, and we will settle the bill when we leave."
"Okay...okay," the kindergarten director replied with a smile as she took the note.
Although their zoo seems to be turning into a canteen, it doesn't matter as long as they can make money.
"Oh, right! Principal."
"We have a lot of appetite, so it's best to calculate based on the amount of food for three people, or even if it's more than that, it doesn't matter." After seeing the headmaster accept the note, Li Xiaoyu added.
They, being superhumans, already have large appetites, and now that they've been busy for so long, their appetites must be even greater.
It would be awkward if we ran out of food.
"No problem! Leave this to us. Miss Xiaoyu, you can just wait until 11:30 for dinner."
The headmaster replied, then told Wang Bei and the others to continue cooking, and rode his bike to the cafeteria.
There's a lot of food to prepare this time. He needs to call some zookeepers over to help.
In addition, we'll definitely need to add more tables and chairs.
After seeing the headmaster leave, Li Xiaoyu also left.
After all, the "source energy crystal" has not yet been found.
She really wasn't in the mood to wander around.
