The bankrupt zoo was saved entirely by the parrots' foul mouths.

After hearing the merchant's reply, Xie Hongwei immediately showed a satisfied expression.

Not only him, but the viewers in the live stream also had the same thought at this moment.

Selling less than a pound of potatoes for ten yuan might seem expensive, considering how little the cost is.

All things considered, including seasonings and side dishes, it should only cost about one yuan. He's selling it for ten yuan, which is absolutely outrageous.

But we also need to think about what kind of place this is.

In those tourist attractions, you can find things like a single starch sausage costing ten or eight yuan.

After comparing, the prices at Zizhou Zoo are quite reasonable.

At least it definitely won't cheat people.

And this is precisely Xie Hongwei's main purpose in hosting this live stream.

The purpose was to showcase the newly opened commercial system of Zizhou Zoo to netizens, letting them know that the scenic spots here don't rip people off and that the businesses are all ethical.

This live broadcast is extremely important for a city's reputation, and there is no room for carelessness.

Because business was so good, Xie Hongwei, the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, had to wait a full ten minutes to get his share of wolf-tooth potatoes.

Since all the seats in front of the stall were already full, Xie Hongwei had no choice but to stand on the roadside and eat without any regard for his image, holding a disposable takeout box in one hand and a toothpick in the other.

A bite of crispy potato fills your mouth with a savory aroma, complemented by the unique fragrance of numbing spiciness, houttuynia cordata, cilantro, and scallions—the taste is indescribable.

Ordinary potatoes, but one bite and they taste even better than meat.

Even Xie Hongwei, the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, praised it highly, giving a thumbs up and his eyes shining:

"Mmm! It smells delicious! It's so tasty!"

"To be honest, I rarely eat these street foods, but when I do have them occasionally, they're incredibly delicious!"

"Xiao Li, come on, have a taste."

As he spoke, Xie Hongwei picked up a few toothpicks from a distance and then beckoned the people around him to come over.

A short while later, half of his body entered the live stream screen, but his face was not shown. Judging from the situation, he should be a staff member of the cultural and tourism department, Xie Hongwei's subordinate, or an assistant during the live stream.

Xiao Li took the toothpick, picked up a piece of potato cut into an irregular shape from the box, and put it in his mouth to chew.

Soon, a cheerful young voice rang out:

Wow! It's really delicious!

"It seems that Director Chen tasted the food before selecting the vendors to move in!"

"The food here is truly amazing!"

While Xiao Li was giving his comments, Xie Hongwei's hands never stopped moving.

It was as if he was addicted to eating it, constantly stuffing potatoes into his mouth one after another.

A dignified division-level cadre, with his mouth covered in oil and a few pieces of chili powder stuck to the corners of his lips, was completely unaware of this:

"Crispy, oily, and perfectly seasoned with a unique spicy and numbing flavor—it's absolutely amazing!"

"Friends, if you ever visit our Southwest region, you absolutely must try these wolf-tooth potatoes! They're really delicious!"

"If you don't like spicy food, you can ask the owner to make it without chili peppers. But personally, I think it won't taste as good without the spiciness."

"Also, if you prefer a softer texture, you can ask the boss to fry it a little softer. I personally prefer it crispy."

"It smells so good, it really smells amazing! And the zoo here also guarantees that the oil they use is changed every day!"

"Everyone can see that business is so good, the boss has no reason to ruin his reputation for such a tiny bit of cost."

"This is overseen by the city's health bureau, industry and commerce bureau, and the zoo office—a three-way oversight—ensuring everyone has a great time and can eat with peace of mind!"

Xie Hongwei's surprise at this moment was genuine, because he occasionally ate this kind of thing.

I was truly amazed by this today; it was incredibly delicious! It was so addictive!

The viewers in the live stream could also see this.

If Xie Hongwei's reaction was an act, then his acting skills are truly phenomenal, and he could become an actor himself.

Wow! It looks so delicious! It makes me want to eat it too.

[I'm so hungry! I never thought potatoes could taste this good, hahaha!]

Potatoes are the best! I think potatoes are the tastiest vegetable in the world; there's no way to make them taste bad!

[Director Xie is eating so deliciously! I really want to rush to Zizhou Zoo right now!]

[Haha! I'm at the zoo right now, just got in line to go in. See you guys soon, I'm going to be on camera, wait for me!]

Are you serious?

[I don't believe it! Unless you appear on camera in Director Xie's live stream right now!]

……

Just as the audience was still eyeing the potatoes in Xie Ju's hand, a comment instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Xie Hongwei naturally noticed this comment, but he didn't take it seriously.

After all, he's encountered this kind of thing several times since he started live streaming.

He often gets teased by netizens.

Of course, he wouldn't be angry, because it's just something young netizens like to joke around with, and there's no intention to offend anyone.

However, this time is truly different.

Just as Xie Hongwei was shaking his head, trying to laugh, a young girl who looked to be only twenty years old or even younger suddenly jumped in front of him, instantly appearing in the frame and startling Director Xie.

"Surprise!!!"

"Hello Uncle Xie! I'm really not joking!"

The little girl had pigtails on her head and delicate features; she was very cute.

She wore a white fleece-lined cotton-padded jacket on her upper body, a short skirt on her lower body paired with white fleece-lined tights, and Mary Jane shoes on her feet.

She's a total little girl, and her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many boys in the live stream.

"Huh?" This time it was Xie Hongwei's turn to be dumbfounded.

It took Xie Hongwei, who was in his forties, a while to come to his senses.

After carefully examining the suddenly appearing little girl, he quickly wore an expression of disbelief:

"You're the one I mentioned in my livestream who was already lining up to come in and get on camera..."

"A mountain full of monkeys... and my butt is the reddest?!?"

As Xie Hongwei scrolled through the live stream comments and read out the ID of the user who had just sent the comment, his expression changed from initial confusion to shock.

He just couldn't seem to connect this ID with this little girl.

How did such a clean, cute little girl come up with such an outrageous online name?

What exactly are young people thinking these days?
