Chapter 261: Fox and Dog Family
The wolf that came out was, of course, the only one left in the wild in the zoo, Comrade Gray Fang.
Just as Su Ming had originally hoped, after a period of wild survival training, the little furry little guy who could barely walk had now turned into a big bad wolf with sharp claws and claws that would make anyone jump when they saw it.
If we were in the city, there might still be many people who would mistake Gray Fang for a dog and not pay too much attention to it. But this is a zoo, or the back of the zoo. Everyone's first reaction is: The big bad wolf is coming!
Humans are group animals. If a person sees a wolf, he will definitely be scared to death. But dozens of people gather together to encourage each other. After seeing Gray Fang come out, although they are a little panicked, they are more curious. The crowd roared and retreated a lot, but they were not too panicked.
Seeing a big bad wolf in the wild is a rare experience.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of various pet dogs slowly walked out from various woods and surrounded the entire mountain top of Fox Immortal. Although the dogs have the appearance of pet dogs, their eyes are cold and cold, looking at the tourists eagerly from a distance.
Gray Fang's eyes were just cold, but the eyes of the other dogs were also full of danger! It seems that it will pounce at any time and tear the humans in front of it into pieces!
Lao Lin promptly came forward to explain: "Dear tourists and friends, these dogs are the stray dogs rescued by the zoo last time and have been successfully released into the wild. Don't be afraid, everyone, these dogs are the protectors of the Fox Immortal, responsible for protecting the vast swaths of foxes in their homes. Erhu, as long as everyone visits the park in a civilized manner, there won’t be any danger.”
In addition to superstitious issues, Su Ming also considered safety issues. The fox home is connected to the zoo, but it is not completely closed. People with malicious intentions must be prevented from stealing the little foxes. In addition to those with truly malicious intentions, we must also prevent uncivilized tourists from taking away the little foxes when they see them having fun. The broad-eared fox is not very big, so if it is stuffed into a bag, it may not be noticed.
"No way? Aren't dogs and wolves the natural enemies of foxes?" someone in the crowd asked in shock.
A dog is nosy when it comes to catching a mouse, but it is natural for a dog to catch a fox and a wolf to eat a fox. Lao Lin chuckled: "Don't forget, this is a zoo. Okay, tourists and friends, that's it for today, please go back."
Under the "attention gift" of the dogs, the tourists filed down the mountain along a path.
After the tourists went down the mountain, Su Ming appeared on the hillside.
Lao Lin briefly reported today's details to Su Ming. Su Ming nodded slightly while listening. It seems that Fox Home is still a very popular new attraction. On the one hand, it is due to the creativity of the home, and on the other hand, it is related to the broad-eared fox. Due to their own characteristics, these little guys are not a specialty of China and are rarely seen in other zoos.
The two big ears that catch the wind are so cute. If you put such a cute little thing in a cage, you will probably be scolded to death by tourists.
"Remember, you must not accept any money for incense!" Su Ming pointed to an old tree dozens of meters away on the hillside of Fox's home, and said, "If anyone really wants to make a wish, let them go to that tree to make a wish. ”
Halfway up the mountain, there is a big tree that can be hugged by at least four or five people. It is said to be six or seven hundred years old. In the past, when there were no fox homes, this old tree was a scenic spot on the hillside and the only scenic spot in the back mountain. I don’t know who was the first to hang a red wishing string on the tree. Gradually, this old tree became a famous wishing tree in Yangchuan City.
There are still some faded red wishing charms floating on the branches. The bark of the tree near the ground is quite damaged. The person who hung the wishing charms tried to climb up and step on it.
This old tree has witnessed hundreds of years of history. We just took this opportunity to repair and protect it. We can make wishes, but we cannot climb up the tree by stepping on it.
"Leader, I suggest collecting some tickets as soon as possible..." Lao Lin pointed at the Fox Home and said, "Otherwise it will be too expensive to maintain here."
Although most tourists are relatively civilized, the Fox's Home is too exquisite. Various small buildings will be damaged if you don't pay attention. By the end of the day, one-third of the fence fell down, and two small villas were also crowded. broken.
"In this way, we will set up a small toll point on the road starting tomorrow. Tickets do not need to be charged too much. First, each person will charge five yuan. Children under one meter and seniors over sixty years old are free of charge. The money earned will be used for infrastructure construction." Su Ming said.
"Five yuan? Too little?" Lao Lin opened his eyes wide. How can there be a five-dollar attraction these days? The tickets for the few parks in Yangchuan City that only have flowers and plants cost ten yuan. Zoos in other cities also have special animal houses, such as python gardens, crocodile ponds, etc. If they charge separately, they cost at least twenty yuan. Get started.
"The construction of Fox Home has not been completed yet. We need to get into the habit of charging first. It will not be too late to raise the fees in the future." Su Ming looked at the empty hillside. He had a clear plan for this hilltop to build a paradise with Fox Home as the core. .
Everything has just started now, so of course it’s not easy to charge high fees all at once. In the future, when everything is completed, the price will naturally be increased, or the money will be put into the overall entrance fee to the zoo, but now, it would be too shameful to charge twenty or thirty just for the fox home.
The top priority now is to arrange a work schedule for the broad-eared foxes!
It was impossible for Su Ming to feed all the animals for free. Even if he had the heart, he didn't have the ability. Even the guys in the zoo have to support themselves through ‘exhibitions’.
Let alone animals, even human friends, Su Ming could not feed anyone in vain. For example, for Wang Hao, Su Ming could only provide him with a way to improve his life instead of giving him money directly. In the end, it was still up to Wang Hao to work hard himself.
But having said that, animals are animals after all, and we cannot oppress them as coolies just to make some money. Even if it is inhumane, it is not necessary.
Today is the hardest day for the big-eared thief, because his room is right opposite the gate of the fox's home, and the most tourists pass by here. Not only the big-eared thief, but also the remaining big-eared foxes were lying feebly in their small rooms.
"Big-eared thief, big-eared thief, you can't die, you can't die!" Su Ming squatted in front of the big-eared thief's room, wagging his big ears half-jokingly.
The big-eared thief weakly lowered his head, dragged his tail, and his ears lay softly on the back of his head. He stuck out his pink tongue at Su Ming. The fur all over his body had lost its luster. He looked very tired. .
A reasonable shift must be arranged to allow each big-eared fox to have sufficient rest and play time. A big-eared fox can only work for a few hours a week. Most of the rest of the time, they should be left alone. According to their nature, let them go to the wild activities, or simply close part of the small villa in turn every day and let them rest at home.
There are enough big-eared foxes, more than 180 of them, both male and female. The team will definitely continue to grow in the future, so scheduling will be easy.
"Old Lin Xiaolin, keep part of the ticket money from now on. In addition to the standard food rations provided by the park, buy them some food to improve their lives. Oh, don't buy milk. Many foxes are lactose intolerant and will die easily after eating... ...The remaining money will be handed over to Peng Xue's accountant for the time being, and will be placed in the entertainment company's account first. After a while, a semi-open Fox Fairy Temple or something will be built here, and then a path leading to the bottom of the mountain will be built. Tourists from the province walk on wild roads every day, kicking in mud..."
I told old Lin Xiaolin about the next thing. After Xiaolin finished memorizing it, he seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated.
Su Ming saw that something wasn't right about his expression, so he stopped talking and nodded to Xiao Lin, indicating that he would speak if he had anything to say.
"You little brat, why are you pretending to be a grandson? If you have anything to say, just say it." Lao Lin hugged his head and gave Xiao Lin a shudder. He glared and said, "The leader's time is so tight, I don't have time to waste time with you."
Seeing Old Lin like this, Su Ming chuckled, thinking that these uncle and nephew were also interesting. They get along day and night. Old Lin must know what Xiao Lin wants to say. It seems that he is asking for something.
Maybe Lao Lin not only knew about it, but also wanted to mention it to himself, but he was older and embarrassed to say this. Xiao Lin is a young man. If he opens his mouth, even if he refuses, things will not become deadlocked.
"A little thing..." Xiao Lin scratched his head and said with a smile, "Well... I recently fell in love with someone..."
"Well, that's a good thing!" Su Ming nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"My partner is from out of town. If he comes to Yangchuan City, he hasn't found a job yet..." Xiao Lin said calmly. As expected, Lao Lin knew the situation, so he interrupted and briefly said that Xiao Lin's partner was also from Changping County, and Xiao Lin wanted to come to Yangchuan City, but he couldn't find a suitable job for a while.
Strictly speaking, you cannot say that you cannot find a job. The economy is developing so fast, and there is a huge demand for employment in all walks of life. As long as you are not greedy and not lazy, you can always support yourself. You can go to restaurants to serve dishes, work as greeters, waiters, etc. Work is everywhere.
Of course, the money paid for this type of work is too little, only about two thousand a month.
Old Lin has said this, but Su Ming still doesn't know what he means? The salaries of several companies under Su Ming are not high, but they are still in the early 3,000s, and the work is relatively easy and free. Not to mention Xiao Lin and others who came to the city to work, even college students who have just graduated are rushing to join.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Let's do this. Let your partner come to Yangchuan and forget about the fishing company. There is manual work there, so it is not suitable to go to a woman's house. Go to the entertainment company and report to Mr. Wang."
