Chapter 219 Preparing to Go Home
Su Ming had already made arrangements for Wang Hao.
Dean Song also said that day that the reform would be officially started within two months after the New Year. At that time, the zoo would set up a "company". Wang Hao was not very involved in animal matters, but he was familiar with the entertainment projects in the zoo.
For example, boat trips, fish riding, and several paid attractions, souvenirs, feed sales and other things can be managed in a unified and centralized manner.
In addition to the original projects, the zoo is now famous and the scenery is good. Sometimes film and television companies come here to rent venues for filming. Su Ming feels that it is necessary to subdivide the industry and conduct refined and professional management.
Because sometimes you have to deal with the government and people in various circles, Wang Hao is the most suitable. Most of the original employees in the zoo are ordinary people, and they are not as good as Wang Hao in this regard.
After being busy for several days, he even went to the old boss's house. Su Ming went home for the New Year. There were too many things to buy, and the Wrangler could not fit them all. He asked the old boss to borrow the zoo's Buick commercial vehicle.
He actually forgot to say hello to Nangong Yan!
It was not until Nangong Yan came in person and pointed at Su Ming and scolded him that Su Ming remembered.
"It's not that I forgot you, but because you have always been in my heart, and I have long been accustomed to your existence." Su Ming covered his wallet and said affectionately.
"Me too! So you should pay the bill." Nangong Yan shook a donkey bag.
If a woman's anger can be solved by buying, it means that the problem is not big. Su Ming followed behind and said, "Didn't you see it said on the Internet that donkey bags are out of date? Those who still buy donkey bags are all bitches."
"That's right!" Nangong Yan snapped her fingers: "Then let's go to Hermes."
Su Ming: "..."
Nangong Yan yelled fiercely, but in the end she didn't buy too many things. She just dragged Su Ming around for a whole day, and Su Ming's legs were almost thinner.
...
After dealing with human affairs, Su Ming had to arrange the life of the animals during the Chinese New Year.
Tigers, bears and other animals that were originally in the zoo don't need to worry too much. During the Chinese New Year, the keepers will arrange for duty to take care of these guys. It's mainly the batch he brought later.
"Don't worry about your family of three." Su Ming sat on the edge of the pool, rolled up his trouser legs, and put his legs in the constant temperature water. In the water were the three finless porpoises.
The finless porpoise probably also wants to live in a wider wild, but the current conditions do not allow it. It is definitely not possible to release endangered animals such as finless porpoises directly into the wild. It is too dangerous; but if you say that you want to set up a large protected area for three finless porpoises, it is not realistic.
The reservoir is not safe either. The area is too large. In addition to the contracted area, there are often people who come to go outing around its waters. Moreover, it is connected to the Yangtze River and the gates are opened every year to release water. Endangered animals like finless porpoises are fine if they are not discovered. Since they are discovered, they must be under strict protection.
In fact, Su Ming thinks that they are mainly too lonely. If there are more finless porpoises to keep them company, it should be much better.
Two small porpoises stood up on the water, waving at Su Ming with their fins, but they were turning in circles; the big porpoise was quiet, Su Ming patted its head and said, "It would be great if we could find a male one, so that it can breed the next generation and the possibility of designating a protected area would be much greater. Hey, if we can't find a porpoise, can we use a Baiji dolphin?"
Although Baiji dolphins are also very rare, there are still artificial breeding and protection bases. If we think of a way, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a few to keep the porpoises company.
The big porpoise didn't know if it understood, but it shook its head stupidly.
After a few words, the giant salamander and Yangtze alligator behind it started to make a fuss again, and the aquarium was filled with the sound of "bang bang bang".
The Yangtze alligator was beaten up by Su Meng that day and was seriously injured, but fortunately, it didn't hurt its vital parts, and Su Ming used his mental power to heal it, and it soon recovered. Since it is also a national key protected animal, a national treasure of the first level, and its status is no lower than that of the giant salamander, the zoo arranged it in the aquarium, as a neighbor of the giant salamander, separated by tempered glass.
The Yangtze alligator is also a rare animal. After a few days in the zoo, many tourists bought tickets to see it.
They are reptiles that look similar, but the Yangtze alligator looks more ferocious and hideous. It is also a newcomer. The attention of tourists in the aquarium is all attracted by the Yangtze alligator. The zoo even put a huge photo of the Yangtze alligator in front of the aquarium to attract tourists.
The giant salamander immediately felt neglected. Not only did this guy occupy its territory, but he also stole its limelight. How could it be!
He was full of resentment and often yelled at the Yangtze alligator through the glass.
Although the Yangtze alligator is considered to be docile among crocodiles, that is relative to crocodiles. Now that it was provoked by such a big, fleshy guy, it certainly couldn't stand it, and used its tail to violently slap the reinforced glass to protest, causing the aquarium to often echo with loud bangs.
The giant salamander seemed to be smarter, and seeing that the Yangtze alligator couldn't break the glass, it had more to rely on, and its courage became stronger.
These two were both old men who were old but strong, and had very bad tempers. After becoming neighbors, they disliked each other every day. When Su Ming came, he saw the giant salamander spraying water at the old alligator through the glass to show his contempt.
"I said you two are quite old. Is this interesting?" Su Ming pointed at the giant salamander and said, "You just rely on the reinforced glass in the middle. If you put you together, can you beat the old crocodile?"
The body size of the salamander is about the same as that of the alligator, but its attack power and defense power are outclassed by those of the alligator. In a real fight, the alligator can settle the fight with one bite.
Creation confuses people. Although the giant salamander has a fighting heart, it is unfortunately not a fighting race by nature. The alligator is actually relatively docile and takes the sexual route, but God just gave it sharp teeth and a thick armor.
Raising animals is like raising children. Su Ming sometimes has to play the role of a parent. He must protect him when he should protect him, and he must not be soft-hearted when he should criticize and punish him. After criticizing the giant salamander, he turned around and said to the alligator. .
"And you, don't be complacent! The baby fish can't do it to you, and you can't do it to me! If you don't bully it, I won't bully you. It's Chinese New Year, so you two should stay away for a few days. If someone takes advantage of my absence, break it into pieces The glass... Big salamander, just wait to be eaten by the old crocodile, and old crocodile, just wait to be eaten by me! "
The old men didn't look at each other, and there was nothing he could do about it. The two of them together were older than his grandfather, so he could only pretend to be vicious and give them a few words of criticism and education.
As for Huiya, Su Ming took him back to the wolf house.
We haven’t seen each other for a few months. Gray Fang is almost the same size as the Wolf King. The two generations of Wolf Kings did not show too much intimacy. After Gray Fang entered the cage, he looked at each other with the Wolf King and his wife, and then they lay down separately. Resting in the nest, like a stranger.
But thinking about it on the other hand, Huiya is a male wolf that is about to reach adulthood. It is definitely a rare tenderness for the Wolf King and his wife to let him enter the cage and even lie down in the den. Generally, for wolves in the wild, even if they are biological, after the wolf pup reaches adulthood, the wolf king will not allow it to approach his territory, let alone enter his den.
"It's Chinese New Year, spend time with your parents. After the Chinese New Year, you can go play in the back mountain." Su Ming waved to Hui Ya outside the cage.
Hui Ya turned his head away from Su Ming with disdain. The wolf king grinned at Su, a gesture of thanks, but it was very scary, as if he wanted to eat Su Ming.
Baihua Valley is too far away, so I didn’t go there. I asked Er Gouzi to fly back and forth to greet the two queen bees.
When Er Gouzi came back, he brought a gift from the Queen Bee: a large bucket of the best royal jelly.
It's not a small bucket, it's a big iron bucket used to hold oil. Just to transport this big bucket of royal jelly, tens of thousands of bees and wasps were used, taking turns along the way, tossing the little bees and wasps quite hard.
On the way those bees came, they met the old monkey king and Xiao Kong who were surveying the terrain in the back mountain, looking for a suitable place for brewing wine. So many bees buzzed over, startling the monkey father and son, and almost caused an accidental injury. .
After the monkey master went back to the zoo twice, he danced in front of Su Ming and made chittering gestures for a long time to show that he was greatly frightened. Su Ming laughed and got more than a hundred kilograms of bananas from the zoo warehouse for them. After being frightened, the father and son went away laughing and joking, their tails erect as high as a flagpole.
The crocodile gar passed through the underwater channel and swam to the Shuixie Lake to celebrate the New Year. The concentration of Taisui water here is the highest, which is good for their growth and the future of the baby crocodile gar. After half a year of work, it is time to enjoy special treatment.
Big Head and the snapping turtle were too big to fit through the underwater passage, so Su Ming held Big Head in his arms and sat with his legs on the back of the snapping turtle, which looked like a round table. The snapping turtle crawled back into the small lake in the waterside pavilion.
The painting style is full of local flavor, like a combination of a fat boy who is "more than every year" and a tortoise. Wherever he passes, many tourists gather around him and want to take photos. It was a pity that the back of the snapping turtle was so jagged and barbed that it hurt Su Ming's buttocks after just sitting for a while.
"Is it time for you to give birth?"
In the waterside pavilion, Su Ming rubbed the head of a little white cat. The little guy's belly is bulging, and he has been lazy all day long and refuses to move. He lies in his nest from morning to night.
If I count the days, I will give birth to a kitten in just half a month.
Several other cats gathered around, staring curiously at the white cat's belly, stretching out their furry little fleshy paws to touch it gently. It seems that they are a group of inexperienced guys. When the white cat gives birth to a baby, it is impossible to expect them to help.
Dahei squatted aside obediently, waiting for Su Ming's decision.
"In this case, Xiaobai come home with me. I can take care of them if they are born. Dahei, you take them with you and they will stay at the waterside pavilion during the Chinese New Year. They are not allowed to bite the wires or play with the sockets."
Dahei meowed and shook his tail to show that he understood. He still looked a little worried and secretly glanced at the little white cat's belly.
"As a gay man, if you want to watch it, just watch it openly, and no one will hold you accountable." Su Ming laughed.
It was finally the 28th of the New Year. Su Ming made a big purchase. A business car with eight people in three rows. The back two rows were almost filled with various New Year gifts. Su Ming brought the new money from his account with him. Su Meng was called and Hai Dongqing was released from the bird garden.
"You fly first." Su Ming untied the small iron chain on Hai Dongqing's leg and raised his arm slightly. Hai Dongqing used his arm to lend a little support, and his wings soared into the air, and he rushed in in the blink of an eye. In the sky, only a small black spot can be seen on the ground.
"Take me! Take me!"
"I'm going too! I'm going too!"
The parrot sisters gave up and grabbed the cage, screaming at Su Ming from next door.
"You can't go with me. Don't worry, I've prepared delicious food for you." Su Ming took out several large bags of various nuts from his backpack, including dozens of kilograms of pistachios, small walnuts, etc., and put them into the parrot cage.
The floor of the birdhouse was immediately filled with various nuts. The two parrots flapped their wings and jumped down, diving into the food. This is what the so-called wine pool and meat forest is like.
After finishing all this, Su Ming said hello to Sister Tong, took Su Meng, drove out of the zoo and drove towards his hometown.
