Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 259 Picnic and Summer

"Little Pudding, don't be dazed, hurry up and take a picture!"

Director Li hurriedly reminded him aloud.

Upon hearing this, Little Pudding immediately turned on the smart watch on his wrist, then leaned his head against the giant panda's head, and took a group photo with one person and one bear.

Seeing this, Yang Huaqing took out his mobile phone and recorded a video for Little Pudding, while Zhang Hao took out his professional camera and took dozens of photos in succession.

Little Pudding became more courageous as he went to the back. If the staff hadn't stopped him, he would have taken the giant panda into his arms instead.

When the time came, Little Pudding reluctantly gave up his seat and walked to his parents.

The second one was Big Pudding. With Little Pudding's demonstration, Big Pudding let go of all his vigilance and touched the giant panda as soon as he came up.

Followed by the same photo-taking process.

Finally, under the reminder of Director Li, Yang Huaqing and Zhang Hao hugged the giant pandas respectively, and the family of four took several group photos, which was a worthwhile trip.

After everyone took a group photo, it was almost lunch time. The zoo couldn't provide lunch, but the staff canteen was free to use.

Yang Huaqing and Teacher Hu used the small kitchen in the restaurant to heat up everyone's lunch boxes, including the four full lunch boxes of Lao Zhang's family.

Although Zhang Hao had long said that he would pack lunch, the little ones still brought their own lunch. After all, food rations are getting tighter and tighter these days, and because of the face-saving relationship, it is not good to leave empty-handed without bringing anything.

With the help of the little ones, the table was soon filled with all kinds of delicacies. The lunches of the students were all the same. The good ones added two pieces of bacon or salted fish, and the poor ones also had cabbage tofu.

The staple food is very uniform, all rice.

The twins side is much richer. There are three big plates of stewed pork alone, namely stewed pork head, stewed pig heart and stewed pig's feet. There are also seven or eight stir-fried dishes, which are delicious in color, flavor and very attractive.

Since the cooking started, the little ones have never left the kitchen, gulping their saliva one by one. If they were in their own home, they would have let go of their hands and started working.

Before the meal, Zhang Hao specially pulled Director Li over, and the other party brought half a basket of cucumbers, which can be used as after-dinner fruit.

"Dinner is ready!" Yang Huaqing shouted.

"Everyone eat whatever you want, pick what you want, don't be polite with uncles and aunts, just treat it as being at home." Zhang Hao greeted immediately.

I didn't bring alcohol because I had children.

Little Pudding took the lead and scooped a piece of pig's trotter with a spoon, and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently. The pig's trotter was soft, fragrant and chewy, and the little guy ate it happily.

Seeing that the little pudding started to move, the others no longer cared about being reserved, and ate one by one. Today's meal was the most delicious meal they had ever had.

Zhang Hao greeted Mr. Hu and Director Li to move his chopsticks, and introduced: "They are all pigs raised at home, and the quality of the meat is not bad. Please don't be polite."

Director Li tasted a piece of pork head, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "It's delicious, the meat is good, and the cooking skills are better!"

"It's delicious, you should eat more."

Yang Huaqing echoed with a smile.

Teacher Hu followed closely and asked concerned: "Mr. Zhang, where are the bodyguards in your family? Call them over to eat together?"

"Don't worry, they have their own small canteen. If you call them over, these dishes will not be enough for them to eat half full." Zhang Hao shook his head with a smile.

"Would you like to send two dishes?"

Teacher Hu suggested.

In any case, those bodyguards surrounded the students and had been busy all morning, so they should be thanked.

"It's really not necessary, their food is not bad, what we have here, they also have over there."

Zhang Hao replied.

Teacher Hu was envious when he heard the words: "Mr. Zhang, is your family still short of bodyguards? Isn't this treatment too good? I'm so moved."

"Mr. Hu, you misunderstood." Yang Huaqing explained with a smile: "Today is only a special occasion, so there is an extra meal. They usually eat similar to ordinary people."

"So that's what it is, I was shocked." Mr. Hu patted his chest lightly, and then chatted with the other party: "Mother Guoji, this month's food stamps have decreased a lot, and life is really hard gone."

"Yeah, I heard that Europa is going to fight?"

The Confederate Conscription is the hottest topic recently, and it has also aroused the sensitive nerves of many people.

"What kind of war are you talking about? The price of food on the black market has doubled suddenly these days. Do you think I should take this opportunity to stock up on food?"

Teacher Hu wanted to hear Yang Huaqing's opinion.

Their family is a working family, and they have to repay the mortgage every month. They really don't have much savings. They must think carefully about this kind of thing.

"This one……"

Yang Huaqing was a little uncertain.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly answered, "Mr. Hu, if your family still has enough energy, I suggest that you stockpile some food properly. Even if there is no war, food will become more and more scarce."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for reminding me. I'll go to the black market and try to buy as much food as possible."

Teacher Hu made up his mind on the spot.

Director Li put down his chopsticks and couldn't help interjecting: "Director Zhang, can I ask the reason?"

"What else could be the reason? Of course, the production capacity of the plantations cannot meet the actual needs. Our local population of [-] million people, plus immigrants from abroad, is almost approaching the one billion mark.

It will cost hundreds of millions of acres of arable land to save, right?How many plantations is this?One can imagine the great pressure. "

Zhang Hao analyzed patiently.

"Isn't that likely? Nowadays, plantations are being vigorously built everywhere. With our industrial strength, no matter how many plantations can be built, it is at most a matter of time..."

Director Li frowned.

Zhang Hao glanced at his sons casually, probably because they were rushing to eat, the two little guys had their mouths full, and even used their hands directly.

The same goes for other children.

"Principal Li, with all due respect, what you are talking about is the most ideal state. There are too many unexpected factors in reality. I just want to say that once a war breaks out in Europa, it will inevitably lead to an energy crisis. I don't care about the importance of energy." Having said that, it will be useless to have more plantations by then.”

After hearing this explanation, Teacher Hu at the side strengthened her confidence again, and planned to go to the black market to buy goods as soon as she got home. In her opinion, war was inevitable.

If not, the Federation would not suddenly recruit more than 300 million troops, which is simply scary.

This is the strongest evidence.

Director Li was thoughtful, and finally nodded: "It seems that our zoo needs to store more food, otherwise, if the situation you mentioned happens, most of the animals will not be spared."

If people starve to death, under the offensive of raging public opinion, it will be difficult for the zoo to obtain sufficient supplies from the higher authorities, especially those carnivorous animals, even if there is no catastrophe, most of them will be lost.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

"It's definitely right to be prepared."

Zhang Hao smiled.

In the next three years, even if there is no war, there will be an energy crisis, and food shortages are inevitable. Buying food at any time will not suffer a loss.

……

Half an hour later, lunch was over.

Zhang Hao left the little ones in the room to digest food, then took his wife, and Mr. Hu, followed Principal Li to the next room to chat.

The children ate fast and furiously, and in the end they were all full, including the big pudding and the little pudding, lying on the chairs one by one.

"Zhang Guoxuan, your food is delicious!"

A certain male classmate licked his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the delicious food just now.

Little Pudding proudly said: "Of course, my mother is very good at cooking, even better than my grandma. My grandma can only cook vegetables, and my mother can also bake cakes and biscuits, as well as beautiful desserts."

"My dad can roast meat, and suckling pig."

Big Pudding immediately added.

"Wow, student Zhang Guoji, do you welcome me to play?" A female student couldn't help but envy.

Big Pudding immediately patted his chest: "Of course you are welcome. We have a vegetable garden and a pigsty at home. I can take you to pick the vegetables and leaves, and then feed the pigs, cows, and rabbits. The little rabbits are fluffy and cute... ..."

"Oh, and me, I'm going too."

Other students echoed.

"Okay, let me tell my grandma when I go back, everyone will come to my house to play next weekend, my house is very big." Big Pudding swung his arms in a big circle, "We can play games as much as we want, and we can also ski. "

Since the beginning of winter, with the help of Captain Fang and others, Zhang Hao has used bulldozers to build a 500-meter simple ski run in his yard.

The twins like skiing very much. As long as the weather permits, the brothers will play it every three to five times.

Immediately, students from Shawei Village raised their hands: "I can prove that Zhang Guoji and his family live in a castle, and there is a very high wall. My sister took me in to play."

"Wow, castle?"

Girls have no resistance to fairytale buildings.

"Tang Qihan, it's all your fault. I wanted to give you a surprise, but now it's gone."

Big Pudding couldn't help complaining.

"I thought everyone knew about it? After all, your family is so famous." Tang Qihan scratched his head.

"Okay, I don't blame you. You must support me when you are elected monitor next year?"

Big Pudding never forgets his dream of monitor.

"Zhang Guoji, we all support you."

"Thank you, I will treat you to delicious food later."

Big Pudding was instantly satisfied.

……

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the group continued to visit the panda house. This time, the place they were going to was the baby panda nursery, where there were more than a dozen panda cubs.

"Grandpa Li, what kind of milk does the little panda drink?"

Student Tian Bing asked casually.

Little Pudding couldn't help but interjected: "Student Tian Bing, of course pandas drink panda milk, just like pigs drink pig milk and calves drink milk."

This is the advantage of the twins. There are several kinds of livestock in the family and they have rich life experience.

"Haha, student Zhang Guoxuan is really smart!" Principal Li touched Little Pudding's head, and then changed the subject: "However, giant pandas have always had less milk, and newborn panda cubs need to drink more than just panda milk. Black bear's milk, black bear's milk is very rich."

"Grandpa Li, I have seen grown-up pandas drink milk, do they also drink black bear milk?"

"No, the milk they drink is called pot milk, which is a mixture of various milk powders, mainly milk powder and dog milk powder, as well as carotene and other trace elements." Director Li replied in detail.

"Hey, giant pandas are so brave, carrots are so unpalatable, yet they are not picky eaters?"

Little Pudding said in admiration.

Zhang Hao suddenly had black lines all over his head, and lightly tapped the seeds on the head of his youngest son: "Be obedient and hear clearly, what Grandpa Li said is carotene, not carrot."

"Huh? Aren't they all carrots?"

"No, carrots are the carrots we eat. Carotene is a kind of nutrient in powder form. There is carotene in carrots, but carotene is not carrot." Teacher Hu took the opportunity to teach.

Little Pudding was full of doubts, and was immediately stunned.

Yang Huaqing smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you will understand when you grow up."

"Well, grandma said that I will be a big kid in a few years." Little Pudding nodded seriously.

Coming out of the nursery, Principal Li led everyone to a panda enclosure, preparing for a social practice where the little ones would clean up by themselves.

The little ones worked very hard, and they didn't dislike the smell at all. It took less than half an hour to clean up the panda enclosure.

In order to reward the little ones for their labor, Director Li specially gave each child a small gift.

Little Pudding stared at the glass bottle in his hand, but unfortunately there was nothing in it, only half a bottle of soil.

So curiously said:
"Grandpa Li, what is this stuff?"

"Each bottle contains a few cicada larvae, that is, cicada monkeys. You take good care of them. When next summer, cicadas will crawl out automatically, and then you will be able to hear cicadas calling."

Director Li replied with a smile.

Since last year, most animals in the wild have disappeared, including cicadas.

"I know? Why do you want to raise Zhi?"

Big Pudding wondered.

Knowing this thing, it is really annoying, and it keeps barking in summer.

Director Li sighed deeply, and said with sincere emotion: "Is it summer without knowing it?"

The little ones looked confused, obviously not understanding the meaning behind this sentence.

Zhang Hao was different, he felt the sadness all at once, and suddenly said:

"Principal Li, can you pack a few for me and take them home?"

"No problem, just a small matter."

"I want to raise a few in the company and the factory, and it's a rare pleasure to listen to them when there's nothing to do."

Zhang Hao briefly talked about the purpose.

Director Li immediately made a phone call and asked someone to bring another [-] cicada larvae. I heard that the other party's business was very big, and a few were definitely not enough.

Big Pudding saw that his father was very interested in Cicada, so he happily accepted the gift:

"Thank you, Grandpa Li!"

Little Pudding followed up and asked: "Grandpa Li, tell us quickly, what do you eat if you know?"

"If you can, you can plant a tree at home. If you can't, you can feed it with fresh corn or soybeans. You can also try vegetable leaves."

"Grandpa Li, our family has a vegetable garden, can we bury Cicada in the vegetable field?"

"Of course, it's better to have a vegetable garden. Don't worry about anything, just listen to the calls in the coming year."

Director Li smiled and nodded.

With Zhang Dong's conditions, it is not surprising that there is a vegetable garden. Right now, supplies are in short supply, and many wealthy families have similar preparations.

Little Pudding jumped up excitedly: "That's great, so I won't be afraid of raising Cicada to death."

The little guy had kept many pets before, including goldfish, tortoise, chinchilla and thrush, and all of them died in the end without exception, and the longest did not exceed half a year.

Zhang Hao nodded involuntarily. He also felt that the vegetable garden was the best choice. It would be too noisy to keep it at home, fearing that it would affect their parents' lunch break.
