Chapter 3 is titled "Forget It, You Child"
Is that so? Have you really taken a liking to this word? Shen Yibin was taken aback for a moment and tentatively said, "How about I just call you 'Ha'er' from now on? Ha'er, come over here." This fellow's silly and chubby appearance is quite reminiscent of a certain 'Ha'er Commander'.
The sound of Panda is somewhat reminiscent of a human's "um" with a heavy retroflex tone, just as adorable as its appearance. Accompanied by this "um" sound, it keeps nodding its head, almost drooling onto Shen Yibin's phone.
Unexpectedly, Ha'er also imitated his manner, raising his right hand to scratch his head, leaving Shen Yibin completely at a loss for words
These items are not safe at all, Shen Yibin quickly crouched down to hold it, thinking that it would be better to feed it the twice-cooked pork as the shopkeeper suggested rather than letting it eat spicy strips. "Wait a moment, I will order takeout for you right away." Shen Yibin was too afraid to go out now, so he had no choice but to order takeout, and when the delivery arrived, he would have to hide this thing well; if someone discovered it, he would be in big trouble.
Big brother! Are you sure this guy won't get an upset stomach from eating twice-cooked pork? What crime would it be to kill a fat panda? Shen Yibin could hardly imagine; as long as someone finds out and takes a picture, he probably wouldn't have to worry about food and housing for the rest of his life
Eight portions? One portion of twice-cooked pork costs 20 yuan, so eight portions would amount to 160 yuan. Shen Yibin felt a pang of anguish in his heart, yet Pang Da continued to shake his head. It was only when he raised all his fingers that Pang Da reluctantly nodded.
It has been said that we are a future pet store, and the pets we offer are exceptionally intelligent and clever. If they cannot understand their owner's intentions, what use would such pets be? The intelligence of this panda is roughly equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child, much smarter than the huskies of your era. The future pet store patiently explained
Alright, now that we have made our choice, the next step is to determine the quantity. It seems that pandas have quite an appetite. Shen Yibin had seen a video on the news of two giant pandas eating 150 jin of bamboo shoots in a day. If this creature eats twice-cooked pork in the same quantity, I certainly cannot afford to keep it. He thought for a moment and held up three fingers, "Will three portions be enough?"
A meal costs 200 yuan, and after deducting the funds for the first batch of inventory, I only have 16,000 yuan left in my savings. Based on the calculation of two meals a day with ten portions of twice-cooked pork per meal, I can only support this guy for a little over a month. Shen Yibin is almost in tears.
One must say that teasing the panda is truly delightful; its cuteness is simply irresistible. No wonder some people consider being a panda caretaker to be the happiest job in the world. If it weren't for the fear of being caught by the police, Shen Yibin would have wanted to take a photo and post it on social media.
Since the customer insists, what else is there to say? The shopkeeper muttered a few words and then hung up the phone. Pang Da also seemed to understand that he would soon be well-fed, so he tilted his head and looked at Shen Yibin, his eyes blinking adorably.
"Be good, sit properly, I will prepare food for you right away." Shen Yibin suppressed his sadness, selected ten portions of twice-cooked pork, placed the order, and made the payment. The restaurant's response was very quick; within less than a minute, a phone call came in.
How about five portions?" Shen Yibin directly opened one hand.
Hmm, hmm ~" Panda shook his head repeatedly
"Come, roll around a bit."
It does not seem to be something worth boasting about to be smarter than a husky, does it? Shen Yibin recalled the silly husky his family had back in the day; at this moment, the panda was becoming increasingly restless, climbing up his thigh as if it intended to reach the table to eat the snacks Shen Yibin had placed there.
"Hey, go over there and bring the broom here." Shen Yibin was amused by this fellow and began to try to instruct it to do some tasks.
Um, um ~ '' Panda continued to shake his head
After finishing speaking, Shen Yibin immediately opened the food delivery app, selected a restaurant with the fastest delivery time, and pulled up a photo of the twice-cooked pork for Panda to see. "What do you think of this? Does it suit your taste? How many portions do you usually need for a meal?" Since it was said that this person's intelligence is equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child, this amount of information should be understandable, right
What you said makes a lot of sense, and I find myself at a loss for words. Perhaps it was just now that Panda heard him say the words 'twice-cooked pork,' and immediately became excited, with its two adorable dark circles fixated on him, eyes filled with longing. Even the frequency of licking his pants increased, and Shen Yibin could sense that this creature's saliva seemed to be increasing as well
Hmm! Hmm! Panda seems quite pleased with this name, as it waddles over to Shen Yibin, rolling and crawling with its short legs, and then hugs his thigh.
Hmm? The child paused for a moment while gnawing on his claws, then followed the direction pointed out by Shen Yibin. After seeming to understand something, he excitedly made a couple of sounds, slowly moved to where the broom was placed, and then... bit down on the nearby dustpan, presenting it to Shen Yibin as if offering a treasure.
After playing with the panda for more than twenty minutes, I heard my phone ring, "Hello, your delivery has arrived."
"That's right, I want ten portions of twice-cooked pork." Shen Yibin also felt like a fool
"Come and take a turn, child."
Seeing the panda shake its head repeatedly, Shen Yibin directly declined the other party's kind offer, saying, "No need, we just like to eat this, hurry up and bring it over."
Hmm ~ ~ '' Panda dawdled over this word, seemingly feeling that the term `` Ha'er '' was particularly endearing
"You look like a fool." Shen Yibin couldn't help but mimic the Sichuan accent of the restaurant owner from earlier. In Sichuan dialect, "fool" means a simpleton, but it is not usually considered an insulting term; rather, it carries a hint of affection. When Shen Yibin was a child, he watched the television series "The Foolish Officer" and learned this word.
Shen Yibin slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Damn it, I was told I was smarter than a husky? This is simply as foolish as a husky!"
"You can't really want to eat twice-cooked pork, can you?" Shen Yibin couldn't help but ask. He hadn't expected this fellow to understand, but to his surprise, Panda nodded repeatedly after hearing it, nearly scaring him to death; what the hell, this guy can understand human speech? He quickly relayed the situation to the future pet shop.
"How about ordering differently? Our restaurant's boiled meat, salt-fried meat, and spicy chicken are all quite excellent," the shopkeeper advised in a strong Sichuan dialect.
Hello, did you just order ten servings of twice-cooked pork? Was it a mistake? Anyone would find such a peculiar order strange, right? The restaurant might think that you ordered one serving but ended up with ten.
"Alright, I will come out to get it right away." After hanging up the phone, Shen Yibin said to Ha'er, "Be good, I will go get you something to eat. Just sit here nicely and make sure not to run around."
Pandas are from Sichuan Province, and since they originate from Sichuan, isn't it quite normal for them to enjoy eating twice-cooked pork? The future pet shop still presents a calm and carefree demeanor, looking down disdainfully at Shen Xiaobin's rare curiosity.
