I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 576 : Eating Breakfast, Watching Pandas

Yan Ganghui stepped down from the tatami and walked into the courtyard.

By now, birds like the light-vented bulbuls were already chirping and singing among the treetops.

Watching the beautiful bamboo leaves sway in the wind and listening to the cheerful and lively birdcalls, he took a deep breath and felt intoxicated by the fresh air of the early morning, mingled with the scent of bamboo and dew.

Su Hui came up behind him, surprised, "Why are you up earlier than me today?"

Yan Ganghui smiled and said, "It must be the effect of the hot spring bath I took yesterday. I slept so soundly and now I feel full of energy. To tell you the truth, the last time I slept this well was a few years back when I went home for the New Year!"

Su Hui thought for a moment and said, "The hot springs must be good for sleep quality. Mine has always been quite good; I just felt more comfortable than usual. But you usually don't sleep well, so you felt a bigger difference."

She covered her mouth and laughed, "Speaking of which, you usually snore at night, but I didn't hear it at all last night."

Yan Ganghui scratched his head, half-believing, half-doubting, as he thought his girlfriend was joking.

He wasn't overweight, and he had never heard from his college roommates that he snored.

Anyway, he had indeed slept soundly last night.

"Since we're both up, let's wash up, take a walk and then go have breakfast."

After freshening up, they held hands and walked out of the courtyard.

It was already night when they arrived yesterday, so they couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly.

Only now did Yan Ganghui realize that the exterior was quite elegant and tranquil.

There were quite a few tourists around who had already gotten up. Seeing them walk slowly along the path with smiles on their faces, they seemed to have had a comfortable stay the night before.

Many were couples like them or families with young children.

While strolling, he took several photos of Su Hui.

Next to the hot spring pool, sitting on an inflatable swan; under the Huangshan pine in the front courtyard, with her eyes squinted and hands behind her back, head tilted slightly upward, letting the wind lift her hair.

She posed in various cute positions.

After meandering for a while, they arrived at the service desk to inquire about where to eat.

The service staff kindly pointed out, "There's a dining place on the second floor of the inn where you can enjoy breakfast while admiring the view below.

For breakfast, there's miso soup, porridge, rice, steamed buns, tamagoyaki, fish, eggs, natto, pickles and such.

Well, pickles are just salty vegetables, and tamagoyaki is an egg roll pancake!

If you're not used to Japanese-style breakfast, you can also go to the Panda Restaurant, follow the road to the golden hair monkey, and walk into the bamboo forest to find the panda exhibit!

The Panda Restaurant opens a little later, at 8 a.m. when the zoo opens."

Yan Ganghui checked the time. It was almost 8 already, and he asked Su Hui, "Where do you want to eat?"

Su Hui said excitedly, "Let's go to the Panda Restaurant! We can watch the pandas while we eat breakfast."

Yan Ganghui also felt that eating fish in the morning was a bit dull, and he agreed with the idea.

When they arrived at the panda exhibit, it had already opened, and some visitors were choosing their meals inside.

Yan Ganghui, after scanning the QR code on the table, looked at the menu and was momentarily stunned!

A panda curry rice selling for 45 was understandable, but why was a deluxe leek box 99, deluxe potato chicken chunk stew 188, deluxe smashed cucumber 199, and deluxe Potato balls 288? Why were they so expensive?

However, he remembered what Zhou Ke's friend circle said, that the zoo director's magical vegetables were delicious, and not everyone who wanted them could get their hands on them… So these must be the "magical vegetables," even more expensive than the meat.

Thinking about the medicinal bath ingredients he bought the night before, though the price was a bit high, the effect indeed did not disappoint him!

A single massage session usually costs several hundred, and this hot spring bath was worth at least ten massages.

After discussing with his girlfriend, they ordered two leek boxes, a potato ball, and a panda curry rice.

Sharing a breakfast portion between two people should suffice as neither has a particularly large appetite, and ordering too much would be wasteful.

Soon, the warm chive pockets and the Panda Restaurant's curry rice were served.

The chive pockets were fried to a golden-brown crust, emitting a rich and tantalizing scent of chives that whet the appetite.

Yan Ganghui felt his stomach acids churning wildly, urging him on impatiently. He grabbed a chive pocket and brought it to his lips, only to quickly let go, "Ouch! It's a bit hot!"

Su Hui chuckled, "Take your time eating, no one is snatching it from you."

"But they taste best when eaten hot!"

After saying that, Yan Ganghui "huffed" and blew on it twice!

Taking a bite, he heard a "crunch," as the crispy, golden crust broke open, releasing a sweet and savory juice.

Yan Ganghui slurped the juice reflexively, grimacing as it scalded him, then took another bite, words muffled, "Delicious! So delicious..."

Su Hui was somewhat skeptical, "Is it really that good?"

After blowing on it and taking a bite, she too was instantly captivated by the delicious taste.

The two of them were too engrossed in eating to talk and soon polished off the chive pockets.

The server brought over potato balls and two bowls of bamboo shoot soup, saying, "Enjoy your meal."

Yan Ganghui was puzzled, "I don't recall ordering bamboo shoot soup?"

The server smiled, "This is on the house from our restaurant!"

"Oh, not bad. By the way, could you please get us another bowl?"

As he became fuller, Yan Ganghui's eating slowed down!

He drank the bamboo shoot soup leisurely, enjoying the view of Cloud the panda through the large window.

Indeed, it was a heavenly pleasure!

After soaking in the hot springs at the scenic resort and having a cozy night's sleep, to wake up to an expensive but incredibly delicious breakfast, while watching the adorable national treasure, the pandas!

If one could afford it, the desire to live directly inside the zoo for retirement was tempting, surely one could live to 120.

Unfortunately, this wonderful life could only be enjoyed for a day.

Cloud had just come out from the back shed, strolling around the activity yard, looking here and there, curious to see what surprises the animal keepers had prepared for her today.

Noticing a sack hanging from a tree, she walked over to it.

Standing up, she patted the sack and hearing a "jingle jingle" sound coming from inside, she got startled!

Turning around, she rolled away and hid behind a clump of bushes.

Poking her head out slowly, she peeped unblinkingly at the sack, pricking up her ears to listen carefully.

Realizing there was nothing unusual, she cautiously made her way back and softly patted it again.

"Jingle jingle~ jingle jingle~"

Gradually getting into the spirit, she repeatedly slapped the sack with her palm and even bumped her head against it playfully.

Yan Ganghui watched with curiosity, "What's she doing? What's inside the sack that's making the panda have so much fun?"

The sack is a common enrichment tool, and its contents are often changed to offer fresh exploratory sensations to the animals.

Today's sack contained a toy ball with bells attached!

Cloud had never encountered this toy before, and it was her first time hearing such sounds.

Though initially startled by it, she found it intriguing and gradually became engrossed in play.
