"Two adults. ”

Song Qian said to the ticket window of Fancheng Zoo.

“20。 ”

The answer was a very old man, at least Song Qian had never seen a scenic spot ticket staff so old, and it was estimated that the gatekeeper was too old.

Isn't it, even if the average salary level in Fancheng is not high, if it is only more than 1,000 a month, even if there is nothing to do every day, few young people can accept it.

Old man, there is a place to sleep, watch the door, sell tickets by the way, and have an income of more than 1,000. Sometimes I pick up some empty drink bottles, and I can sell them for dozens of yuan every month, which is enough for wine.

Because the old man's voice was a little floating, Song Qian didn't hear it clearly for a while, so he asked repeatedly: "How much is a ticket?"

"Ahem!" the old man coughed twice, "one ticket is 10 yuan, and two tickets are 20." ”

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Song Qian hadn't heard clearly, the old man took out a wooden sign from it and pushed it to the window and pointed at it.

This is a wooden sign pasted with cardboard, due to too much time, many places have worn out the cardboard, revealing the background color of the card. The cardboard is printed with the words "full ticket 10 yuan per ticket, 1.2 meters - 1.5 children half ticket, children above 1.5 meters and adults full ticket, children under 1.2 meters free ticket".

In addition, there are some precautions for entering the park, such as "Adults should take care of children" and "Do not throw food on the animals in the park".

Seeing the payment, Song Qian was surprised to find that it was actually 2007.

Ten years!

What is there now that the price of things has not risen for 10 years? Not to mention newspapers or anything, it is estimated that newspapers have not bought newspapers for 10 years, and the price of newspapers has at least doubled in 10 years.

Anyway, two people go to the zoo to see lions, tigers, monkeys, crocodiles or something, and 20 yuan is enough.

Just as he was about to take out 20 yuan, Song Qian thought about it instead, changed it to a hundred and stuffed it in, and said, "Give me ten tickets." ”

It's not appropriate to buy a few hundred, but it's not too much to buy ten. Although I don't know why the tiger in this zoo died, this kind of thing can be done anytime and anywhere.

Fancheng Zoo, it has been a long, long time since the team came, as soon as he heard Song Qian say that he wanted ten tickets, the old man who was the janitor was also excited, and leaned his face to the window to explain: "We can get a 20% discount on team tickets." ”

Hearing this, Song Qian twitched the corner of his mouth: This is already cheap enough, and if you give it a 20% discount, you are really embarrassed.

However, the goal of the mission was to save the tiger, not to distribute wealth to Fancheng Zoo, so Song Qian did not pretend to be arrogant, so he took the ten tickets and twenty yuan change handed out by the old man, and pulled Cao Ning to enter the zoo.

"There are only two of you?"

Responsible for the gatekeeper, responsible for ticket sales, and also responsible for ticket inspection, the old man wears many hats, so after buying tickets and finding change, he turned around and was responsible for checking tickets and opening the door.

But apparently, the "team" that bought ten tickets was only two people.

"There are a few friends who are going to come a little later, so I bought tickets here, so I'll put you here first. Song Qian casually came up with a reason.

Although this statement is quite strange, it has really been a long time since he took over the team, and the old man still gladly accepted it, and only checked two tickets for the time being, and let Song Qian and Cao Ning go.

Walk into the zoo and see the depression as far as the eye can see. Even though the trees are lush, it always feels cold, and no one would think it's a zoo if it weren't for some cartoon animal signs and empty cages.

"Is this zoo closed? There's nothing in the cage. Cao Ning pointed to an empty cage and questioned.

"Since someone collects tickets, it must still be open, but it should not be far from going out of business. ”

Song Qian said, approaching the sign next to the cage, which said the introduction of the "animal" in the cage - the black bear.

Belch!

Black bears are not easy to raise, and they may not be available in small zoos. But since there are cages here, there are signs that prove that this zoo once had black bears. It seems that it was once brilliant.

Further on, I finally saw the shadow of the animal.

"What a big duck!" Cao Ning exclaimed, "Could it be a mutant duck?"

"Poof—"

Song Qian's head was full of black lines.

"My eldest lady, you haven't even seen a goose? ”

"Aren't all geese white? and they should have long necks and beautiful ......."

Cao Ning tried to refute, but when he saw that Song Qian was speechless at the moment, he stopped his mouth stupidly. Well, she really didn't see geese in her life. I've eaten goose eggs and foie gras.

But how can such an ugly animal be in a zoo? Shouldn't there be a beautiful white swan or a black swan or something in the zoo?

Although Cao Ning has never seen geese in the countryside, it is not that he has never been to the zoo.

Song Qian also felt very depressed, there are obviously domestic geese in the zoo, could it be that they are for laying eggs? Now goose eggs are indeed worth more than duck eggs.

Thinking like this, I happened to see a middle-aged man come out of a low shack, holding two huge goose eggs in his hands.

“……”

It's really raising geese to lay eggs!

It is said that it is Qu Xinhua who came out of the shack. He hurriedly ran over to look at the eagle's cage, and found that although it was damaged, it was only the size of a fist, and the eagle could not get out even if it was thin. Of course, for the sake of insurance, Qu Xinhua still covered a net in that broken place.

Along the way, he circled the chicken, duck, and goose nests and picked up a few eggs. These eggs are still quite popular, after all, they are semi-wild free-range, and there is still an essential difference between them and the eggs laid by chickens, ducks and geese that grow up on feed.

These eggs can be regarded as additional income for Fancheng Zoo.

"This zoo is in ruins, what do you want to see here?"

Because he didn't even know the geese because he was squeezed, Cao Ning was a little depressed, and the zoo was really depressed, so he didn't seem to have much to look at, so he complained.

"Come and see the tiger!" Song Qian did not shy away from it, he came for the tiger.

"Tigers?" Cao Ning said disdainfully, "How can there be tigers in such a zoo? Do you know how precious tigers are now?"

"I don't know, you know?" Song Qian asked rhetorically.

"Of course I know!" Cao Ning became proud, "The tiger is a national first-class protected animal, if Wu Song is put now, not only can he not become a hero if he kills the tiger, but he will have to eat prison for several years." ”

"Is a zoo without tigers still a zoo?" Song Qian said to himself.

It is also true that a zoo can be without black bears, it can be without crocodiles, but it certainly cannot be without tigers, and of course, it cannot be without lions and monkeys.

After looking around, I found that Fancheng Zoo is actually quite large, and because of its age, the trees are lush and green, and the environment is very good. If it weren't for the animal cages hidden inside, it's easy to think that this is a botanical garden rather than a zoo. What's more, the area is about large and there are not many animals, so you can't smell the pungent animals in the general zoo, and it is still more comfortable to walk in it.

It was precisely because the zoo was relatively large, and Song Qian came with a task, so he didn't have time to look for it point by point. The tiger that needs to be saved by him is in danger of his life at this moment.

took out the ten-dollar ticket and flipped it to the back, and sure enough, I found a simple map, although it did not indicate where the tiger was, but marked the "beast area", which was naturally the tigers and lions.

Sail to the Beast Zone! Save the Tiger!

I hope Wu Song doesn't jump out of the coffin......
