Chapter 492: Chapter 490: One of Only Two Koala Pavilions on the Continent

In Huaxia, there are more than 5,000 zoos, with over 60 housing giant pandas. In comparison, the zoos that have koalas are truly few and far between.

Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife World, Nanjing Red Mountain Forest Zoo, Taipei Zoo, Xiangjiang Ocean Park, within the country, these are the only four options to see koalas.

Despite the Red Mountain Forest Zoo being quite poor, back then, it invested heavily to establish the Koala Pavilion, and even researched eucalyptus planting specifically for it.

"Koalas, commonly referred to as tree bears, have very smooth little brains, that’s just how they are, their entire brains are smooth without any furrows."

The zookeeper sister, wearing a yellow uniform, was softly explaining to the surrounding tourists.

Currently, there are about 100 people in the Koala Pavilion, most of whom are young people around twenty years old, with a few thirty-year-olds bringing their children. Everyone listened quietly to the sister’s explanation.

"Because their little brains are so smooth, their intelligence is not high. To raise koalas, you need to have living eucalyptus trees, as in their little brains, the leaves must be growing on trees. Leaves picked off are not considered leaves to them, and they won’t eat."

The sister’s explanation gave the spectators a bit more understanding of koalas, and many chuckled when they heard that koalas don’t eat picked leaves.

"Koalas are generally active for a maximum of 4 hours a day, the rest of the time they’re sleeping because eucalyptus leaves are toxic, and they need to sleep to metabolize the toxins in the eucalyptus leaves."

While listening to the sister’s explanation, the group of people also observed the round little guys clinging to the trees completely motionless.

The little ones cling tightly, their two peach-like gray bottoms facing everyone, appearing very cute.

"Next up, I’m going in to weigh Madame Jasmine and Miss Lemon. Please, visitors, try to communicate softly during your visit and refrain from using flash when taking photos as our Koala Pavilion’s lighting is already abundant. Thank you for your cooperation."

With that said, the sister slightly bowed, turned, and walked into the staff passage, she quickly donned gloves and appeared under the koala’s behind.

Seemingly aware of the sister’s arrival, or perhaps conditioned over time, the previously motionless koala began to move slowly.

The speed was really slow, as if it had directly been put into slow motion, it took over half a minute just to stretch out a little paw.

Even so, the zookeeper sister didn’t urge it at all, patiently extending her hand waiting for Madame Jasmine to climb down.

And the outside visitors were unusually quiet, apart from the occasional voice saying "It’s so cute." "Really want to go in and pet it," everyone was watching the happenings inside with great interest.

Madame Jasmine’s little paw finally stepped onto the sister’s hand, the sister still stayed still until Madame Jasmine was entirely latched onto her; she then carried the furry Madame Jasmine to a tree branch scale.

The adorably gray and chubby Madame Jasmine melted the hearts of all the nearby tourists.

"This slow visual looks adorable, it’s my first time seeing koalas in a zoo."

"I really want to buy one to pet endlessly..."

"This fur looks like microfiber, it must be really soft."

"I remember there’s a place selling koala plush toys, no, no, I must go buy one to place by my bedside, sleeping with it at night must be really sweet."

"By the way, buddy, I’ve been meaning to ask, what’s that you have in your hand? That aroma keeps wafting into my nose."

The guy in front of Cheng Feifan, who was hanging a professional camera, suddenly turned and asked.

Cheng Feifan was taken aback: "It’s peppercorn salt duck meat sold by Boss Wang at the ticket office entrance, don’t you know?"

The guy put away his camera and said, "Oh, it’s at the north entrance, I hadn’t seen it. I came in from the east entrance today, intending to photograph koalas and didn’t walk through the north entrance. It’s right at the north entrance, huh? I’ll buy a portion to taste this intriguing flavor."

Cheng Feifan chuckled and said, "I’d advise you to finish the things you want to see before going, if you go now, by the time you manage to buy it, you won’t need to tour the zoo today."

Liu Cai seemed dumbfounded: "Really? That many people?"

Cheng Feifan said: "I estimate there are at least 200 people queued up now. I was squatting there from 6 am to be the first to buy, and the guys behind me are probably just coming around. You can ask them how long the queue is."

...

Long, it’s too long to see the end of the line.

Even with Wang Fan’s high vantage point on the camper, he couldn’t see the end of the queue.

As the queue already stretched around the corner.

Wang Fan felt that if it went on like this, he was surely going to tire himself out.

Limitation!

There must be a limit!

Starting tomorrow, lower the price and switch to selling small portions, limit each person to one portion a day, otherwise, he might just die in the street.

Though equipped with the system, he remains a mere mortal, lacking those mystical bottles to replenish energy.

But he had to say, the two new recipes he tried in the past two days were truly delicious.

Today’s peppercorn salt duck meat has a crunchy texture similar to jerky, with a chewiness, while the innermost meat holds a tenderness not seen in beef.

After finally frying the last batch of duck meat, he excitedly announced the closing message.

"My apologies, everyone, all the ingredients are used up, today’s ducks are done, haha, if you want to eat, you can come early tomorrow, haha."

Closing is indeed a delightful affair, so much so that Wang Fan couldn’t help but chuckle while speaking.

"Boss Wang, can you avoid laughing when apologizing? It really lacks sincerity!"

"I’m not laughing, I’m an AI person, typically I don’t laugh outside."

Wang Fan outright denied the fans’ accusation.

The fangirl pointed at Wang Fan’s face: "Your face has the words ’so happy to be off work’ written all over it!"

This remark amused the fans behind, leaving Wang Fan a little embarrassed, unsure of what to say.

Zhuo Qianqian poked her head behind Wang Fan and said: "The boss only thinks about meeting you guys again tomorrow, that’s what really makes him happy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fan quickly responded: "Exactly, exactly, that’s exactly what I mean."

Despite coming specifically without getting to buy the delicacy, seeing Boss Wang’s consistent good quality and reasonable prices made the fans feel happy.

Recently, a video came out where delivery staff took people to what they deemed the cleanest places to dine, many delivery staff in various cities preferred not to make money over taking folks to dubious places, making them jittery.

Boss Wang’s place has become a sacred spot in their hearts, seeing no change at the sacred spot, even without tasting the good food, they felt assured.

"See you tomorrow, Boss Wang, I’ll be here early to queue."
