A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 37: Am I seeing things? Another fox has appeared!

Chapter 37 Am I seeing things? Another fox has appeared!
new week.

Workers moved into the scenic area and began building toilets in the mountains.

Qingfeng Mountain is temporarily closed.

Meanwhile, Qi Yue also planned an area not far from the petting zoo to build a zoo forest.

They are about 50 meters apart, which is quite a distance.

However, his scenic area is very large, so it's perfectly fine to plan it more leniently.

The initial plan was to build a large, multi-functional resort here.

The zoo's construction, renovation, and ventilation will take at least a month before it can be put into use.

So during this time, Qi Yue was thinking about what to raise in the zoo's woods.

"The cost of keeping animals is not low, so we need to attract tourists."

"The scenic area does meet the requirements for raising wild animals. If we obtain the necessary permits, we should be able to keep most of the animals."

"For example, tigers and lions."

"Unfortunately, there isn't enough space to raise tigers, and tigers eat too much, which is also a problem."

Tigers are no longer so rare; many small zoos have them.

Of course, wild tigers are among the rarest of all animals, and even the sighting of a single one can make headlines.

The zoo area rewarded by the system is not that large, mainly consisting of a few houses and a garden area, which includes decorations such as a log bridge and crooked trees.

Since it wasn't suitable to raise tigers, Qi Yue temporarily gave up the idea.

I'll raise it again when I have the chance.

After much deliberation, Qi Yue finally decided to raise red pandas here.

A natural example of cuteness, one of the most adorable little animals, and ranked high on the world's animal rankings.

Moreover, red pandas love to eat apples, so you can feed them simply by buying apples.

The cost is also low.

If I could really raise a red panda, that would be absolutely amazing.

From now on, we can pet red pandas.

"I'll go with the red pandas. They're so cute, it must feel so nice to pet them."

"The scenic area is just starting out now. Once it develops better, I'll try to apply for permission to have giant pandas, let alone red pandas."

Qi Yue boasted to himself.

He knew it was unrealistic, but it felt good to just say it casually, and who knows, it might actually come true.

Mondays usually see the fewest tourists, since most people are at work and not in the mood to have fun.

The employees will also start taking turns to rest at this time. Today, Li Yu is the only one at the petting zoo.

Qi Yue arrived at the petting zoo, where a little pink pig was standing on a ball, looking at him.

It's really quite adorable.

"Little Pink, come here."

Qi Yue clapped his hands at the little pink pig.

Upon hearing Qi Yue's words, Xiao Fen immediately began to wiggle the ball with her four pig trotters, and the ball slowly rolled forward.

The pig on the ball.

You really do see everything when you live a long life.

The little pink pig was very lively, and Qi Yue held it and looked at it carefully again.

Good mental and physical condition.

Even being watched by so many people for two days didn't affect it.

That's fine.

By the way, Qi Yue also confirmed that the little pink pig is a miniature pig breed, not a domesticated pig.

Otherwise, if it grows into a 200-pound pig, it won't be able to stand on the balloon.

"Little Pink, you're now the star attraction of the scenic area."

"He's become a star!"

"Thanks to you!"

Qi Yue patted its head and back, and the little pink pig seemed very happy.

This guy is really something!

I'll make you corn, barley, cabbage, and pumpkin porridge tonight!

Qi Yue laughed again.

He needs some tangible reward; he's not the kind of boss who just makes empty promises.

Then, Qi Yue drove his three-wheeled motorcycle, carrying Xiao Huang, to Qingfeng Mountain to see the construction site.

Qi Yue looked at the design drawings and task book with the contractor. A flat area would be cleared halfway up the mountain in the scenic area, paved with stone slabs and cement, and a public toilet would be built at the innermost part.

Qi Yue took one look and thought, "Isn't this perfect?"

Harden and level the ground, surround it with railings, and add some decorations, and you can easily build a small square!

It can provide a place for tourists to rest, and also serve as a space to open a small supermarket.

Grilled sausages, drinks, ice cream, and spicy snacks—get them all.

Simply perfect!
As expected of a system reward, it's quite good. It also allows me to make some use of Qingfeng Mountain.

Otherwise, having only one viewing platform now seems rather shabby.

“Great. Let me see the design documents. You can start building first, and I'll modify and expand it later.”

"We'll add some railings and build two small shops. I'll give you the new budget once it's ready."

Qi Yue and the head of the construction company said.

"Okay, just let us know if you have any new plans."

The person in charge immediately agreed.

The construction industry is in a very bad state right now, and they're almost unable to pay wages.

They would certainly be happy to receive new orders.

Qi Yue also thought it was a good idea, and suggested developing the mountain area to make tourists feel like they were visiting a scenic spot.

Otherwise, if many tourists leave negative reviews saying it's a barren mountain, you can't accuse them of slander.

He looked into the distance, where the mountains rose and fell in undulations.

In the future, we can find an area to develop a toboggan project and charge admission fees.

With the construction details finalized and nothing much to do for the time being, and the task still pending in two weeks, Qi Yue will be completely free.

With nothing much to do, I just wander around and look at the animals every day.

During dinner that evening, ticket seller Li Ya asked:

"Boss, do you keep a fox as a pet?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue nodded, "It wasn't that I was raising it. It was just that a fox had an injured front paw, so I bandaged it up and helped it."

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Li Ya responded:
"I saw a fox run into your yard this afternoon, as if it knew the way very well."

"I was wondering if it was raised by you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue was slightly taken aback.
"run?"

Isn't this fox's front legs tucked up and it injured?

Qi Yue immediately realized that it was indeed faking it.

Qi Yue could tell that its leg had healed, but the little fox was just too good at acting.

Every time Qi Yue touched its front paws, the little fox would immediately start whimpering pitifully, as if to say, "My front paws hurt."

Qi Yue could only assume that he hadn't fully recovered yet.

Now that there are eyewitnesses confirming that the little fox can run, it means it's completely healed.

It's just a facade.

After dinner, Qi Yue returned to the courtyard.

The little fox was resting in its den.

Upon seeing Qi Yue, it immediately stood up, deliberately limped a few steps, then stared at Qi Yue with its big, watery eyes, looking utterly aggrieved.
Playing the victim + acting cute.

Little fox: You little rascal, I'll charm you to death.

However, Qi Yue had already seen through everything.

"You're quite the actor!"

"It's not working anymore."

Qi Yue found it amusing, laughed, and immediately squatted down to pet the little fox.

"It's okay, you can come over even if you're not injured. I'll feed you."

"You don't have to stay cooped up in the yard all the time; go out and play when you feel like it."

Qi Yue rubbed its front paws to help it return to a quadrupedal position.

No wonder they say foxes are cunning; they certainly have some cleverness.

The little fox understood Qi Yue's words, its front paws returned to normal, and it tilted its head to look at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue took out a bag of cotton candy from his pocket and fed it a few.

The little fox smelled the sweet aroma and immediately began to eat them one by one with great joy.
