Zhang Yanping watched with envy as they made their travel plans in just a few words, as if they didn't need to prepare anything or think about anything.
Thinking about it again, there really is nothing to prepare or consider...
It's a 6-8 hour drive. I'll go today, find a hotel to rest at night, and then come back tomorrow after visiting the zoo. It's been two days, and it's even too comfortable.
Think about him and Xin Jun, two brothers in need, ugh!
During my trip to the seaside last year, apart from the vast sea view, why is it that the only thing that comes to my mind is that I can’t eat well?
Now, the issue of eating has also been noted by Lu Chuan.
He looked at the carrots, cabbage, bamboo shoots, etc. in the basket, but did not remind Qiao Qiao that the zoo generally does not allow you to bring your own ingredients - bring them first, and then wait until they are no longer needed.
On the contrary, the food for human consumption is okay, it just needs to be heated and processed somewhere. So I made a rough estimate and said:
"You guys pack up first and bring some daily necessities, and I'll prepare some food."
Song Tan strongly agreed: "Bring more!"
He is used to eating good food at home, but eating food from outside never tastes the same. At first, Qiao Qiao was addicted to Maimen's children's set meal, but when he went to the city last year, he didn't want to touch it at all.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you eat food from outside, it just doesn't taste good under normal circumstances.
Lu Chuan nodded: "Then I'll bring a box of rice and see if I can find a place to steam rice."
As long as you pay, the hotel or zoo restaurant should provide heated or steamed rice.
"What about the food?" Cousin Seven was amused: "It's not like Song Sancheng and the others did at that time, canned and bottled food to be taken to school, right?"
Lu Chuan also laughed: "That's really what I thought - but I don't need cans and bottles, which are too tiring to carry. There is a special crisper and a small refrigerator in the car."
However, for three people, the journey lasted for two or three days. After Lu Chuan went through the process in his mind, he said to his seventh cousin: "Please give me a hand and let's set off early so that we don't have to go to the zoo at night."
The seventh cousin nodded: "Okay, what to cook?"
The dishes Lu Chuan wanted to bring were very simple - scrambled eggs with green peppers, braised dried fish fillets, and stir-fried minced pork with pickled cabbage.
As long as lard is not used, these can be eaten cold. Wulan came in and took a look and laughed: "I brought this to Tantan when she was in junior high school, but no one in school brought vegetables at that time.
Yes, someone laughed at her... and then she stopped bringing it."
Rural children are raised rough, and eating cold food is more nutritious than the big pot dishes in the canteen.
In addition, he also asked Qiaoqiao to bring back a large handful of chrysanthemums and several carrots.
Chop the chrysanthemum, shred the carrots, pour some oil and mix well, then pour some flour, salt, seasonings, etc., mix well, and put them directly in the box.
This is a reminder to the seventh cousin: "Oh! There are still chrysanthemums on this mountain! I haven't seen them growing in any corner - 30%! Let's have steamed chrysanthemums tonight too! I'll season them separately for you.
Juice!"
As he spoke, he neatly took the braised fish pieces out of the pot and stuffed them into two crisper boxes respectively. He then looked at Qiao Qiao's fair face and felt distressed again:
"I'll give you another stir-fry! Don't make me Qiao Qiao starve and lose weight. What's so good about the giant panda? We have a hundred acres of bamboo forest for ourselves, and we can also borrow a giant panda!"
He was mumbling, obviously having a childish temper, and he was talking nonsense.
At the end, he did not forget to ask: "Don't forget to bring some tea eggs - tea leaves, have you brought the tea leaves?"
"The dishes haven't been put away yet, let me make you another pot of white fungus soup..."
For a moment, everyone in the kitchen was milling around.
Zhang Yanping, on the other hand, looked at the rows of crisper boxes piled up next to him - the middle box was not enough, and disposable crisper boxes from the warehouse were used.
Anyway!
"This is too exaggerated!" The gangster brother couldn't understand: "If you don't taste the local characteristics when traveling, how can you call it tourism? You just eat leftovers?"
Lu Chuan was dumbfounded - because in fact, if it were just him, he wouldn't be so meticulous.
But maybe that’s what falling in love is like, or getting along with an innocent child like Qiao Qiao is like this. Caring about someone in your heart and can’t help but want to take care of and pamper them is actually a very happy thing.
Just as he was busy packing the things he needed to bring, he was actually extremely happy at the corners of his brows and eyes.
Zhang Yanping cleared his throat uncomfortably. It was all about love. Guo Dong only had money in his mind now.
He...he is heavily in debt and has no money. What he needs most is money, so he can't do this yet!
Ouch! I feel so ashamed when I think about it!
So he rubbed his sleeves and said, "Seventh cousin, how do you make the steamed chrysanthemum? What other steamed vegetables can you teach me? I'll make them for Guo Dong later!"
The seventh cousin waved irritably: "Go aside! Didn't you see that I was busy making sauce for Qiao Qiao?"
The gangster brother bowed his head in frustration: "Oh."
He will come back after dinner.
But after all this fuss, by the time everything was packed, it was already afternoon.
Qiaoqiao was a little disappointed: "Will the zoo be closed after today?"
Lu Chuan comforted him: "It's okay, the time is just right."
"The zoo is closed, but the logistics department must still be on duty. We just happened to be delivering goods. By the way, I wanted to ask if the donated vegetables can be quarantined together."
"Then when you enter the park tomorrow, you will feed them to the giant pandas and other animals."
After thinking about it, the giant panda is a national treasure, so I might be more cautious, so I added: "If the giant panda can't do it, other animals can do it."
Although he has never seen a giant panda, he also knows that the zoo has programs that allow visitors to buy food and feed some animals.
He looked at Song Tan: "If Qiao Qiao has this benefit, I guess the bamboo can be given away?"
Regarding the 600 yuan matter, Song Tan naturally knew that the zoo did not allow visitors to bring their own food, so she nodded sharply: "Of course."
Qiaoqiao blinked and understood: "If I feed it, we won't get paid for our bamboo?"
Seeing Song Tan nodding, he refused instead. At this moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was tense: "Forget it! I won't feed you anymore... 600 yuan is a lot."
He has to work for several days to earn it!
"No, no, no." Song Tan shook his head and couldn't help but touch his cheek: "600 yuan is nothing compared to our Qiao Qiao's happiness and experience."
She laughed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stars: "Sister, I work hard just to let Qiao Qiao and my parents live a better life!"
Qiaoqiao's eyes were also shining brightly.
But after a moment, he wrinkled his nose and said, "Sister, you worked very hard last night, but you haven't done much work this year!"
