Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 485 - 483: No Duck Can Leave Alive

"I don’t have the habit of taking advantage."

Such a simple sentence, yet it made Director Liu and Zhang Chunming regard Wang Fan with admiration.

The previous internet celebrity wouldn’t even mention the cost of tickets or meals; he just looked down on everyone.

But Boss Wang here? Just like an ordinary person, with none of that overbearing attitude.

You really can’t compare people!

Wang Fan walked to the ticket booth. Tickets weren’t expensive, just 40 each. The ticket seller looked at Director Liu awkwardly, and only after seeing him nod did he take Wang Fan’s money.

"Well, we won’t disturb you, Boss Wang. Let’s talk about what we asked once you’re done exploring?"

Wang Fan nodded: "Alright, you go ahead."

After parting ways, Wang Fan held Zhuo Qianqian’s hand and headed straight for the panda exhibit.

Upon entering, they saw three posters, each detailing information about three pandas.

The first was named Jiu Jiu, the picture showed it with its black furry hand covering one eye.

Wang Fan looked inside the exhibit and truly saw a black-and-white giant lying spread-eagle on a stone platform, covering its eye with one big paw while sneaking a peek at him, occasionally scratching its chubby behind, making Wang Fan chuckle.

The second was named He He, the sign said He He liked staying in hidden places. Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian squatted to search and finally saw a lazy giant sticking out its tongue in a stone crevice after a long time.

The third was named Ping Ping. Its introduction was more interesting—it liked lying flat, and indeed, Ping Ping was lying flat on the stone, completely motionless.

The fur on these three little bears was incredibly clean, lying there in indescribable comfort, without any zookeepers urging them to perform due to Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian’s arrival.

They were like lazy hosts, while Wang Fan and Qianqian were just visiting guests.

Zhuo Qianqian burst into laughter: "Wow, Boss, these panda employees truly live up to their introductions, performing meticulously. I’m wondering if the director had a meeting with them beforehand to put on a show for you haha."

"Although pandas are smart, they aren’t smart enough for that, unless they’re disguised as humans."

True panda lovers wouldn’t force pandas to perform. After witnessing the relaxed lives of the three pandas, Wang Fan’s impression of this zoo improved significantly.

The panda exhibit is absolutely the biggest attraction, even though they’re struggling financially, they haven’t forced these pandas to perform, which already makes Wang Fan feel like helping out.

"Let’s keep exploring."

Unlike other zoos that cut mountains to build parks, Red Mountain Forest Park is genuinely built on a mountain. The paths all lead upwards; 0.68 square kilometers may seem small, but when converted, it becomes 680,000 square meters, overall just a bit smaller than the Imperial Capital Zoo.

However, Imperial Capital Zoo is on flat ground, while here it’s all uphill, making it more tiring to walk.

Fortunately, there were those rentable small cars at the entrance. After scanning the code, Zhuo Qianqian drove it to the next exhibit.

The second stop was the meerkat exhibit.

They walked curiously through a tunnel into a triangular glass hut and found themselves surrounded by meerkats, groups of little creatures standing upright, examining these intruders in their territory.

Next, they went to the Koala Pavilion.

They came at the perfect time; the koalas were still fairly active.

The adorable Lady Jasmine carried a baby koala on her back, slowly descending from the tree, truly embodying laziness. Its cute appearance made Zhuo Qianqian’s eyes shine brightly.

As they explored, they felt this place was really different from other zoos!

Even though they’ve only visited two exhibits, Wang Fan feels like these animals were the hosts, and they were the ones being observed.

After a round, he hadn’t seen about half of the animals, only hearing their calls from hidden corners, perhaps curiously watching these outsiders.

Moreover, they’ve completed the tour without watching a single animal performance.

Oh, wait, there were two, one was called Dudu, the White-faced Monk Monkey, who demonstratively showed what a foot-picking man was.

Then there was another monkey, while other monkeys were on the mountain or in trees, only that one was in the water.

There were several rafts on the water, and the monkey jumped around among them, just like a monkey king who had just sailed out to the sea.

After reading the introduction, Wang Fan’s brief feeling of sympathy evaporated; this monkey’s achievements were astounding.

In two months, it traversed three districts in Nanjing, raided various neighborhoods, repeatedly bullied kittens and puppies.

That’s not all; this aggressive monkey would sneak into homes to steal food and even infiltrate university campuses like Nanjing Art College and Hohai University to commit crimes, causing public outrage before it was captured and sent here.

Wang Fan truly liked the animals’ state.

In these animals’ eyes, you could see something other zoo animals lacked; there was a gleam in their eyes!

Clearly, they really considered this place their home, not a cold cage.

He doesn’t want such a zoo to vanish.

"Should we stay and help them out?"

Wang Fan sought Zhuo Qianqian’s opinion.

Zhuo Qianqian nodded emphatically: "Yes, yes, this zoo is fantastic! We’ve walked through, but I feel like we haven’t seen enough. Plus, the ambiance is so relaxing, the air is wonderful."

"Alright, then let’s stay here."

"System, start the task."

"Ding."

"Task issued: Please set up a stall in Red Mountain Forest Park for five consecutive days starting next Monday, selling at least 10 duck-related dishes."

"Task rewards: Three hundred ways to cook duck (has been issued, will be reclaimed if the task is failed.)"

"Special task: Please set up a stall in Red Mountain Forest Park for five consecutive days starting next Monday, selling at least 100 duck-related dishes."

"Task rewards: Duck blood noodle soup recipe (Golden Legend), issued upon task completion."

Huh?

Wang Fan looked surprised at the reward content.

This was the first time the system didn’t give a reward directly, usually, it was given and reclaimed if not completed, only this duck blood noodle soup was a reward upon task completion.

But those golden words "Golden Legend" still truly tempted him.

He was familiar with ducks. The system giving him duck-related tasks wasn’t surprising at all. As people say, if no chicken can leave Guangfu alive, then no duck can leave Nanjing alive.

Duck blood noodle soup, salted duck, Jinling roasted duck, duck oil pastry buns, Zhang Yun stewed duck, and so on. As long as it’s something from a duck, there’s no part that goes unused in Nanjing.

He took out his phone, opened his chat group, and sent a message: "Brothers and sisters, I’m already at Nanjing Red Mountain Forest Zoo, it’s really fun here. I’m planning to set up a stall here for five days starting next Monday. Friends nearby are welcome to come and play."
