Chapter 111 Xiangjiang Zoological and Botanical Park
Now Chef Cao's workload is not heavy, but more of a shift from physical labor to mental labor.
With two meals a day and a total of forty dishes, he is no longer a chef who performs repetitive operations in the kitchen, but a master chef who can freely design and mix, without restrictions on style, and do whatever he wants.
The five-day working week that Sun Dahai arbitrarily prescribed to fulfill his filial piety is a perfect implementation. It can not only allow Chef Cao to regain his mental and physical strength as soon as possible and maintain abundant energy at work; he can also spend time with his family, share family relationships, and absorb all kinds of people.
Home director, enrich your own inspiration and improve your cooking skills.
So now, Chef Cao is living a very comfortable life.
After more than half an hour of hard work, everyone was basically full.
Chef Cao handed the money to Cao Yong and asked him to settle the bill when he finally left. He left first with Zheng Peipei, Ah-Dai and Aunt Song, and they wanted to go back to the store to prepare lunch.
Others have a day off on Sunday, but they cannot take a day off.
Others took their time and continued drinking tea and chatting.
This is the habit of people in Xiangjiang having morning tea. If there are many people, they drink tea together and chat. Even if they are alone, they will drink tea slowly after eating, read the newspaper or listen to the radio.
But everyone is very conscious and will take the initiative to check out and leave before eleven o'clock, leaving time to prepare lunch in the restaurant.
Sun Dahai was young and did not have such a habit yet. He waited for Ren Kuehui to finish eating, then said goodbye to everyone, and they left Fengcheng Restaurant together.
When the Lamma Island trio saw it, they quickly finished what they had in their mouths and chased them out.
Cao Yong also wanted to leave, but he shouldered the heavy responsibility of settling the bill and accompanying his wife and children, so he could only stand at the window and look resentfully at Sun Dahai and the others' backs as they gradually went away.
A few people chatted and laughed and took a bus through the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel to Hong Kong Island.
Sun Dahai still has business to do.
The most time-consuming physical examination for several elderly people at Jiaruosa Hospital was completed yesterday, and the physical examination department notified them to go to the hospital to get the results.
Sun Dahai, who was bored at home, took the initiative to come and pick it up in person. Of course, Ren Kuei also wanted to come with him.
Qiao Hongwei's brother and sister are all living on campus now, but Qiao Hongwei is about to graduate and needs to consider housing issues. Qiao Wanting has only finished her sophomore year, so she doesn't need to worry.
After an hour's drive, everyone arrived at the physical examination department of the hospital.
The doctor in charge has already made preparations, and the seven examination results and respective diagnostic plans have been installed separately.
In the reception room, the doctor first explained the general situation. None of the elderly people had any obvious major problems. They were just some common problems among the elderly.
Sun Dahai felt relieved and sat on the comfortable sofa, overlooking the mountain scenery through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows and feeling the peace of mind.
The nurse brought fragrant coffee and some pastries, and also brought a cup of milk tea to the minor Sun Dahai.
Half an hour later, they left the hospital and walked down the mountain (Jiarosa Hospital is halfway up the mountain).
This is what Sun Dahai and the Lamma Island trio strongly requested.
They had just eaten Chinese morning tea, and now they were stuffed with Western tea snacks. It is estimated that they would not have any appetite before dinner.
Not far down the mountain is the Xiangjiang Zoological and Botanical Park.
Since it’s a casual outing, what else is there to say? Just buy a ticket, enter the venue, and have fun~!
Sun Dahai ran over and asked, only to find out that it was free. Aren't they saying that the social welfare in Xiangjiang is not good? It is not cheap to maintain an animal and plant park.
Several people walked into the park and stopped and walked along the way. Animal cages and plant planting areas appeared from time to time on the roadside.
Qiao Wanting shouted and screamed all the way and was very happy.
Sun Dahai couldn't help but feel a little strange. The Xiangjiang University where Qiao Wanting was studying was right next to the Zoological and Botanical Park. Logically speaking, it was free and it should be a place where college students often hang out. Why did it seem like she had never been there before?
Sun Dahai quietly asked Qiao Wanting, but unexpectedly she answered confidently that it had been a month since the last time she came here, and the animals and plants here have changed somewhat than before. So she was excited and surprised.
What's wrong?
Sun Dahai was immediately defeated.
However, Sun Dahai didn't care about this. When it comes to being unreasonable, Qiao Wanting is nothing compared to Cao Yue. He was abused by the unreasonable Cao Yue since he was a child.
I don’t know how Cao Yue is doing now. After she and Fang Lin returned to Xiangjiang from Japan, they returned to the mainland within a few days. They didn’t even make it to the opening ceremony of Cao Ji’s private restaurant on the 22nd.
Sun Dahai couldn't help but miss them a little.
If they were here, one looking at animals and the other looking at plants, they would be very happy. Sun Dahai thought to himself.
But it's easy to handle. I made money this time and laid the foundation for development. On this basis, it will be much easier to make big money in the future, and I can arrange for them to come and play at any time.
Due to area and funding limitations, the Xiangjiang Zoological and Botanical Park has a relatively small number of animal and plant species. Especially some species that are rare and have special environmental requirements are even fewer.
But there are quite a lot of plants and birds here, as well as some primates, such as orangutans, baboons, etc. Unfortunately, Sun Dahai didn't know much about these things, so he just watched the flowers and watched the excitement.
As a free park for tourists to play and popularize knowledge about animals and plants, Xiangjiang Zoological and Botanical Park has done a good job.
Xiangjiang is very hot in July, but there are many plants in the Zoological and Botanical Park and there are artificial water systems, so it is very cool.
Sun Dahai and others had food in their bellies, and the place was very comfortable, so they bought a few bottles of drinks and spent the whole afternoon in the park.
It was getting dark, and Sun Dahai suddenly thought of a question: When he was in the hospital, he and the Lamma Island trio had a snack. It seemed that Ren Kuanwei had been communicating with the doctor, but he hadn't eaten a bite. Would it be possible?
Will I always be hungry and play with myself in the park?
As an actor, you should be able to go hungry, otherwise what will you do during filming?
Sun Dahai was a little unsure.
Forget it, it's getting dark now, so I won't play here today. Let's find a place first and treat them to a big meal.
Sun Dahai touched his pocket. Well, with a few thousand Hong Kong dollars in his pocket, there wouldn't be much of a problem in Xiangjiang.
They walked out of the gate at the other end of the Xiangjiang Zoological and Botanical Park and saw that there was already a residential area in front of them.
"Where is it in front? Is there any good place to eat?" Sun Dahai asked Qiao Wanting.
This place is still within the scope of Xiangjiang University, so it should be regarded as Qiao Wanting's territory. Sun Dahai is not sure.
Fortunately, Qiao Wanting still knows a little bit about this place.
"I have a classmate who lives near here. She and I have been here twice before and know some of the conditions here.
This is an old residential area with several restaurants, all of which are small restaurants in alleys. I guess you won't like them.
The only famous one is a disco bar, its name is ‘Disco? Disco’. I heard it’s very famous, it’s a gay bar and people from all over the world come here.” When Qiao Wanting said this, she covered her mouth and laughed.
"Forget it, let's walk forward, find a bus or a taxi, and then go back to Kowloon and find a place to eat."
Sun Dahai was trembling when he heard that it was a gay bar. He might as well forget about this kind of place.
"Sister Wanting, what should you do? Should I send you back to Xiangjiang University first, or go to Kowloon with us?"
"I'll go to Kowloon too. I'll stay in the girls' dormitory of my brother's school at night. It's holiday soon and many people have left. Just ask my brother to find his female classmates and take me in to find an empty bed."
"Okay then, let's finish eating later and then you can leave."
"It's so dark here, and the roads are uneven. Why are there so few illuminated facades?" Ren Kuang asked.
"There is a nice name here, called 'Lan Kwai Fong', which means that the Toad Palace wins the laurels and the Lan Kwai Fong flourishes. Unfortunately, there is no good business to do here. Many of the houses are warehouses, which can be regarded as the center of Central.
It’s a poor place.”
When Sun Dahai heard Qiao Wanting's words, he staggered and almost fell into the ditch on the roadside.
