Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 32 Asking for Money with Confidence

When Stationmaster Deng heard Shen Xing ask directly how much the "subsidy funds" were, he was stunned at first and couldn't help but complain in his heart:

This young comrade looks a bit money-obsessed despite his young age.

Shouldn't you ask about the award certificate first? Honor is obviously more important than money!

"Our protection station has submitted an application report to the Municipal Forestry Bureau. It was submitted only yesterday. The subsidy has not yet been received and we need to go through the necessary procedures," said Station Director Deng frankly.

This is what the officials do. Everything must be done according to procedures and regulations. All necessary procedures must be followed and there is no rush.

Shen Xing said "Oh" and nodded to show his understanding, but he was good at observing people's expressions. Judging from Stationmaster Deng's reaction, this "funding subsidy" was probably not much, only a few thousand. Although the tiger cub was ranked "No. 1 in the country", it was still a cub after all, and there was only one of them. Even if the Forestry Bureau attached importance to it, the "funding subsidy" allocated would probably not be much.

Although Shen Xing didn't hold out much hope, at least there was some subsidy, which could offset part of the money for milk powder. It was better than nothing. With the tiger cub's appetite, even if he was weaned and went back to eating meat, he would be eaten out of money.

In order to prepare for a rainy day, and considering the tiger cub's horrific appetite after weaning, Shen Xing decided to ask for more benefits from Stationmaster Deng.

"Stationmaster Deng, it's not easy for me to raise a tiger cub, you see..."

Shen Xing looked into Deng Sen's eyes and said sincerely.

The little tiger cub hid behind him. When he heard Shen Xing say that it was not easy to raise him, he was immediately furious. He "bit" the hem of Shen Xing's clothes fiercely, thinking that it was Shen Xing, and venting his anger. The little tiger cub was very angry. Why is it not easy to raise me? How much milk can Tiger Master drink in a day with such a small body? It seemed that biting the clothes was not enough to relieve his anger. The little tiger cub opened his tiger mouth and bit Shen Xing's butt. Of course, he didn't really bite, but just scared Shen Xing.

It was as if Shen Xing had eyes on his back and he saw through the little tiger's intention. He reached back, pinched the little tiger with his thumb and middle finger, and flicked the little tiger's head.

"Ouch!" The little tiger cub failed to succeed and was hit for no reason, so he roared angrily.

The roar was quite loud and had a bit of the majesty of the king of beasts, which scared Deng Sen.

"What's that sound?" Deng Sen looked behind Shen Xing in confusion.

Shen Xing couldn't help but twitch his lips, so he turned around, grabbed the tiger cub by the scruff of the neck, and lifted it in front of him.

"Ah, it's this little tiger cub!" Deng Sen said excitedly with a look of delight.

He had seen the tiger cub's detailed appearance from the photo taken by Dali's mobile phone last night, so he recognized the wild tiger cub rescued by Shen Xing in an instant.

Decades of experience in forest protection and wild animal rescue have given Deng Sen an instinct. When he saw the injured tiger cub in Dali's photo album, he subconsciously looked at the cub's hind legs.

"Hey, I remember there was a bow. How did the injury on the little tiger's hind leg heal?" Deng Sen looked puzzled.

From Dali's report, Deng Sen knew that the tiger cub was rescued from the mountain by Shen Xing in the past two days. The report said that the tiger cub's wound did not hurt the bones. Although it was only a skin injury, it had not been treated for a long time and had a tendency to become inflamed and infected. Shen Xing took the tiger cub home for treatment. After treating and bandaging the wound, only one or two days had passed, and the tiger cub's wound was healed?

Deng Sen's eyes fell on the tiger cub's hind legs. The fur there was smooth, but a small piece had been cut off, apparently due to the treatment of a wound.

But strangely, this "wound" did not leave any scar.

Shen Xing noticed Stationmaster Deng's surprise and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The chief of the forest ranger station in the nature reserve on this mountain was indeed experienced and had a sharp eye. At just one glance, he could tell that the tiger cub's wound recovery was a little abnormal, but he couldn't just say that he had a miracle medicine for healing, otherwise it would be too horrifying.

"Stationmaster Deng, to be honest, this little tiger I rescued has a big appetite. It eats half a basin of milk in one meal, and eats three meals a day. Look how exaggerated its appetite is..." Shen Xing diverted attention, used the young tiger to control the stationmaster, and played the emotional card. The little tiger understood what Shen Xing said and immediately refused to do it. Even though Shen Xing was pinching the back of its neck, it still frantically grabbed the air and waved its limbs. The abominable two-legged beast, pretending to be Tiger Lord, is it playing the victim?
After hearing Shen Xing's words, Deng Sen turned his eyes away from the tiger cub's hind legs and no longer paid attention to the tiger cub's injuries. He just thought that wild animals have strong recovery abilities and their wounds will heal quickly.

"Huh? You have a big appetite? You drink half a basin of milk in one meal?" Deng Sen looked at the tiger cub with a surprised expression.

Deng Sen has been engaged in forest protection for more than 30 years and has rescued wild animal cubs. Villagers from the surrounding villages would call the forest ranger station when they occasionally encountered lost Siberian leopard cubs, lynx cubs, or even blind bear cubs while working in the mountains. The station would then send people to rescue these little animals, take them home, take good care of them, and release them back into the mountains when they are a little older.

Deng Sen had extensive experience in raising animals, but he had never heard of a bear cub being able to drink up half a basin of milk in one breath. It was exaggerated, really exaggerated. Even the most greedy bear cub couldn't do it.

"Can this little guy really eat so much?" Deng Sen was the chief of a forest ranger station after all. How could he not see that Shen Xing was deliberately playing the victim and blackmailing him?

"Truer than gold." Shen Xing said without blushing or beating his heart. He knew that Lao Deng could see that he was playing the victim, but he didn't expose him.

After all, Shen Xing has been working in the big city for six or seven years. He has had countless fights with his superiors, Party A, and the company's green tea girls, so he still has some sense.

"If you don't believe me, you'll know after dinner." Shen Xing said with a smile. The little tiger cub had just finished half a bowl of milk and his stomach hadn't digested it yet. He had to wait until dinner time to prove to Stationmaster Deng that he had a big appetite.

"Comrade Shen Xing, no need, I am sure of this." Deng Sen waved his hand.

"This is the first time I've heard of a tiger with such a big appetite. I feel very surprised."

Deng Sen looked at the tiger cub with a smile and spoke slowly.

Deng Sen has seen big eaters with huge appetites before. When he has nothing to do at the forest ranger station on the mountain, he often watches videos. There is a food blogger named "Langweixian" who has a huge appetite, several times more than the average person. There is also a food blogger named Xu Dasao, who also has a huge appetite, but it was found out that he was faking his appetite.

There are also "big eaters" among wild animals. To be honest, Deng Sen has never seen one, and this is the first time he has heard of it.

It seems that the little tiger cub is in good spirits and energetic, but his appetite is a little big, which does not affect his health. It is nothing. Deng Sen observed the little tiger and made a judgment.

"Comrade Shen Xing, I understand your difficulties. In addition to the subsidy from the Forestry Bureau, our station also brought you a batch of supplies."

Deng Sen opened the textile bag, which contained seven or eight cans of goat milk powder, two large milk bottles, some bandages, and trauma medicines.

Shen Xing took a look inside and shook his head.
"This milk powder is too little, it's not enough for the little guy."

"Stationmaster Deng, please give me some more."

Hearing this, Deng Sen couldn't help but twitch his lips. Wow, this young comrade is blackmailing blatantly!

Even so, considering the little tiger's title of "No. 1 in the country", the fact that it does have a big appetite, and the fact that Shen Xing is unemployed at home, there is indeed financial pressure.

Dunsen thought about it carefully before saying:

"Then let's do this. Our forest ranger station will give you a little more subsidy. Take out 5000 yuan and buy milk powder for the little tiger."

"As expected of Stationmaster Deng, so generous!"
