"Is that all?" Shiraishi Lihua looked a little disappointed, but her good tutoring allowed her to quickly put away such emotions.
As mentioned before, Shiraishi Rika showed off her skills in the kitchen with full enthusiasm and prepared several boxes of fancy dishes. Natsuki felt a little hungry just looking at it. If it were Tachibana Aya, this
I'm afraid that everyone might have run away with these dishes and eaten them secretly by themselves.
As for the reward, of course Natsuki fulfilled his promise and gave Shiraishi Rika a reward. Just like the one from Tachibana Aya, it was just a hug, but this should be the best reward for Natsuki.
"If you go too far, it won't be a reward." Xia Zhi said to Shiraishi Lihua. The girl thought about it and nodded helplessly: "Okay, what Xia Zhijun said makes sense.
"
Something like a kiss should never be a reward, because it is a two-way exchange of emotions, rather than something given by one party to the other party in a high manner. As long as it retains such attributes, it
It absolutely cannot be a so-called reward. And if Xia Zhi regards this as a reward, then he is taking himself too seriously.
"Pfft." Shiraishi Rika suddenly laughed. Xia Zhijun looked at her. She was still covering her mouth and laughing softly: "I know why Sister Tachibana was angry this morning. Xia Zhijun still doesn't understand girls very well.
What’s on my mind?”
Xia Zhi scratched his head: "It's hard to understand, for a person like me. Does Lihua feel angry too?"
Shiraishi Lihua shook her head: "No. Xia Zhijun can just stay like this. I also like Xia Zhijun like this."
Xia Zhi blushed, coughed slightly, and turned to look at the already packed dishes: "If they are all ready, I will ask them to come down. We have to go to Kamogawa Ocean World today, so it will be later.
Otherwise, we may not have enough time.”
"There is enough time. And we just finished cooking, but there is one thing that has not been done yet." Shiraishi Lihua pointed to some unused ingredients left next to her: "The rice has been cooked, let's cook a little more
Make some rice balls. I just learned how to make rice balls some time ago, so I can try it today."
"Are there any dishes you don't know how to cook, Lihua?"
"There are many, many more. The world of cooking is very vast." Shiraishi Lihua playfully raised a finger: "However, it is said to be a method, but it is actually just a decoration method. Xia Zhijun, please pinch the rice balls.
I'll prepare the other ingredients first."
Next to her, Natsuki shaped the cooked rice into a triangle according to Shiraishi Reika's instructions and put plums inside. Shiraishi Reika, who was ready, took the cut seaweed strips and stuck them on the rice ball.
, pasted a circle on the triangle without sealing it, chopped some pieces and pasted them on carefully. Xia Zhi recognized what the first rice ball looked like before Shiraishi Lihua finished pasting it.
"Is this a panda? It's quite cute."
The rice ball itself is white, and carefully cut seaweed strips are attached to it to make hands, feet, ears, nose and mouth, making it look particularly like a panda.
"I found this on the Internet some time ago. This is my favorite decoration. Today is the first time I made it." Shiraishi Lihua put the rice ball in her hand and raised it in front of Xia Zhi: "
Cute, right?"
Xia Zhi nodded. How could he not love pandas?
"Does Lihua also like pandas?"
"Are there any creatures in this world that don't like pandas?" Shiraishi Lihua asked Xia Zhi in return.
How much the Japanese like pandas is not an unsolved mystery at all. Their love for pandas can no longer be expressed in words. Take Xiangxiang, a giant panda born in 2017 at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, Japan.
Let me give you an example. It is said that the Ueno Zoo collected 320,000 names for Xiangxiang in two weeks, and finally decided to name Xiangxiang after consultation. The number of tourists who wanted to visit Xiangxiang at the zoo at that time
The number of visitors is so crazy that it has been allowed to visit since January 2018. You must make a reservation to visit Xiangxiang, and it only receives about 2,000 visitors every day. Even the viewing time is tightly controlled. On average, each person
Visitors can only watch the baby pandas for one to two minutes. Even so, the number of reservations has reached 1.25 million. Ueno Zoo is just short of changing its name to Ueno Panda Zoo.
Not only that, Ueno sells countless Xiangxiang peripherals, and they sell them out of stock. Every stage from birth, even every day, is recorded by them. Xiangxiang sells peripherals all the time. It’s like traveling.
The biggest winner in the Japanese panda world. Or maybe it’s because things are rare and expensive. Even many domestic zoos with giant pandas are far less popular than Ueno Zoo. The only one that can rival them is the one in 1972.
After signing the Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, the Prime Minister decided to present Kangkang and Lanlan to Japan.
Why wait in line for three hours and visit in ten seconds?
"It would be very embarrassing to live in this world without even seeing Panda Beans".
It was Ueno who received the first generation of pandas traveling to Japan. The Japanese in Ueno were going crazy. The Chinese words "Hello" were everywhere on the streets. In order to welcome the pandas, the white bear sculptures were hurriedly painted in black and white panda colors.
During that time, the two pandas ate special food. Kangkang ate bamboo from Ohtawara, Tochigi Prefecture, and Lanlan ate Fuji apples. Lanlan and Kangkang died one after another, and the news of Lanlan's death was announced on the 3rd.
The next day, a long line of mourners lined up outside the zoo...
It's just that the number of people... the most prosperous place for bears is probably Wakayama Shirahama Zoo. Yongmei, who passed away in 1994, now has fifteen or sixteen children.
This neighboring country is the country with the second largest number of pandas in the world after China. The panda effect is most vividly reflected in Japan.
"In this world, no matter how rich you are, if you are not lucky enough, you can't even touch the ears of a panda." Shiraishi Lihua said to Xia Zhi very seriously.
"Have you ever touched Lihua? I think there is no one in this world who can make you luckier."
"I..." Shiraishi Lihua puffed up her mouth: "One day I will touch the ear. Not only do I have to touch the ear, I also have to hold it and take pictures together."
