Chapter 8 Eating is Hard to Earn
"Your name is Xiong Da, right? You really do live up to your name; you are indeed very big."
"Yeah! But why is there only one bear in the bear enclosure?"
"That's right! Let's find Xiong Da another Cuihua. This bear looks lonely."
After ordering, Fan Tiantian and the others immediately moved closer to the glass when they saw Cheng Hao approaching.
"Hmph~ (This bear is never lonely. If there were other guys around, they would not only disturb my rest, but also take my food.)"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao couldn't help but speak.
I don't want any other bears to come over.
"Did the sun rise in the west today? Why are so many people buying food for the big lazy bear?"
"Could it be that this lazybones actually did some proper business today?"
In the staff break room on the other side, Sister Hong'er, who had just received the delivery message, was stunned.
It's quite rare to see that Xiong Da has received orders, and not just one.
It seems that this lazy bear really listened to what I said yesterday.
"What happened to Sister Hong'er?" Yang Li, who was sitting to the side, looked over after hearing Sister Hong'er's rambling.
"It's nothing serious! It's just that some tourists have placed orders at Xiong Da's place, and I have to go deliver them," Hong'er replied when asked, before putting on her hat and heading out the door.
Hearing this, Yang Li didn't ask any more questions.
Delivering food in this sweltering heat is hardly a pleasant task.
Thankfully, she wasn't a zookeeper.
"Hmph~ (It's been so long since I placed the order, why hasn't Sister Hong'er come to deliver the food yet? Does our zoo warehouse run out of stock?)"
Inside the bear enclosure on the other side, Cheng Hao stood in front of the feeding port, glancing left and right.
Upon discovering that the familiar figure had not yet arrived, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Of course, the most important thing was the group of young ladies in front of him, whose questions left him speechless.
If he hadn't already eaten, he would have turned around and left long ago; he wouldn't want to stay here any longer.
Who asks Bear math problems or riddles?
It's just that we're full and have nothing else to do.
But Fan Tiantian and the others had no intention of letting him off the hook, and continued to press close to the glass with smiles, asking him:
"Big Bear! Don't look away! Turn around and tell us what one plus one equals!"
"That's right! And why can't the Qilin go to the North Pole?"
"Hmph~ (If you guys are bored, you can ask for a lighter to play with. Don't ask such pointless questions. If I actually made it, you won't be happy about it later.)"
Cheng Hao, whose head was throbbing from the annoyance, rolled his eyes and regretted getting up earlier.
He didn't eat a single thing, but he suffered just as much as he could.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.
In the distance, Sister Hong'er, riding an electric tricycle, came into view.
At that moment, the other party truly seemed like a hero riding on auspicious clouds.
"Ladies! Is this what you ordered?"
Sister Hong'er rode her electric tricycle up to the group and asked them a question.
Her gaze, however, fell upon the bear enclosure. When she saw Cheng Hao's head sticking out, she couldn't help but nod and give him an approving look.
Cheng Hao was stunned when he saw it, but then he continued to stick his head out.
He just wanted to finish eating and see the guests off as soon as possible; he felt no joy whatsoever from the praise.
"Yes, thank you."
Fan Tiantian and the others smiled and said this.
After taking the food from Sister Hong'er, I walked to the feeding area.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Hao immediately came over, opening his mouth and waiting for them to add the ingredients.
But after waiting for a long time, the group of people didn't make a single move.
Cheng Hao immediately became impatient, and his gaze turned fierce.
Are these guys trying to mess with him? It's only because Sister Hong'er was there that he was able to give them a taste of electrotherapy at such close range.
"Ladies, if you don't want to feed them, you'd better stand at the back."
"Otherwise, if you get this close, you might get hurt." Seeing this, Sister Hong'er quickly came to the feeding hole and blocked Cheng Hao's view.
These tourists couldn't understand her gaze, but she understood it all too well.
If we don't stop it soon, who knows what might happen.
"Ah! We're so far apart and we still got hurt?"
"Yeah! Isn't this bulletproof glass?"
Fan Tiantian and the others, who were holding an apple and teasing the bear, couldn't help but ask in confusion after hearing this.
Not only were the bears separated from them by a glass barrier, but there was also an electric fence inside.
Are the bears inside so powerful that they could actually hurt them?
"It is indeed bulletproof glass, but maintaining a safe distance is better for both animals and people."
"Especially since you're so close, he'll spit at you," Sister Hong said tactfully.
She couldn't possibly tell them that they had teased Xiong Da and made him angry, and that if Xiong Da went berserk, he might actually break the glass.
After all, this is the largest brown bear species in the world.
Moreover, the other animal was a large-framed individual of the species, not yet an adult but with a size far exceeding that of an adult brown bear.
"Spitting? Then you'd better not stay in the feeding area."
"Yes, yes! The saliva of these large animals smells terrible."
Upon hearing this, the group quickly threw their food in.
They hid from it as if it were a plague.
Hong'er breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Cheng Hao, who had been waiting angrily below, softened his expression considerably upon seeing the food.
Start enjoying the food that has fallen.
After seeing this, Fan Tiantian and the others felt a little bored:
"We've been here long enough, let's go see some other animals."
"Yeah! Staying here all the time is getting a bit boring."
With that, the group left the bear enclosure.
After the group had gone some distance, Sister Hong'er entered the bear enclosure and began to soothe it.
"Big Bear, don't be angry!"
"If you don't want to talk to anyone, just keep lying down. Don't force yourself."
"We're not short of food, there's no need to get angry, otherwise we'll upset our little bear cub."
As she spoke, Sister Hong'er kept rubbing Cheng Hao's big face.
This incident made Xiong Da very angry.
But there's nothing that can be done about it; when a zoo opens its doors for business, it's bound to encounter some strange people.
Today's version of the joke is already considered quite good.
Even a bear like this gets this angry.
If they encountered something even worse, wouldn't they just smash the bulletproof glass and rush out?
So, the other person should just stay lying down.
While it may not attract visitors to the zoo, it's already good enough that it doesn't cause trouble for the zoo.
"Hmph~ (I'm fine! I'm just a little annoyed.)"
Cheng Hao hummed in response to these words.
He naturally understood what Sister Hong'er meant, but he had already restrained himself.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have ended so simply.
He's been in business for so long, and these people still want to tease him.
It really infuriated him; he hated it when people did that.
