Indeed, like every resident in the renovation of his neighbors, Puluo's mood index has plummeted recently.

The reason is that Daishan Zoo has entered the big construction mode.

In the end, the director decided to mortgage the land where the plums were grown, because it was woodland, and the fruit trees were not counted before, so the loan money was not much, but with the 5 million yuan he earned before, he could give the zoo a good renovation.

This time, the director specially invited a professional zoo designer from China to inspect the park and redo the planning and layout of the building.

According to the plan, although the main road of Daishan Zoo is still the main road, there can be a number of branch routes for tourists to choose from.

Moreover, this kind of trail and animal exhibition area are staggered, and different roads can see the different living conditions of animals, and can show the habits of animals in all directions.

For example, the current desert cat Pepper can only be observed head-on, and if Pepper climbs on the perch, it can only see its tail, but in the future, in addition to the frontal view, it can also go around to the back field, and after climbing a few stairs, it can present a parallel perspective with the perch, so that you can see the scene of Pepper basking in the sun and sleeping.

If it is just such a transformation, it can only be said to be ordinary, but the designer is worthy of a professional zoo designer, after studying the physiological habits of the desert cat, he also specially made a transformation of the internal environment for it.

"Now the interior decoration of pepper is similar to that of ordinary cats, the ground, perch, cat litter boxes hidden in the dark, food, toys, these can not reflect the characteristics of desert cats."

"The desert cat, the desert cat, must make people feel the kind of rough heroism and freedom that belongs to the high altitude area, so that when people see it, they think of the desert sunset, of the boundless wilderness, of the desert, of the oasis, of the mountains, of the meadows, of the blue-eyed hunters lurking behind the rocks!"

"It is a cat that belongs to nature and freedom! Embodying this feeling will be more important. ”

Although the designer's words are not very intelligible, his design intention is very clear, Pepper's future cage will be divided into three parts, one part is the current perch, and the other part is a transition area between meadows, rocks and deserts.

Although desert cats are called this name, in fact, only a small part of their natural habitat is desert area, and the reason why the designer put the desert in the zoo is not to add a deep impression, but - "the desert is the cat's favorite litter box!" Not one of them! ”

↑ That's what he said.

At night, Pu Luo took the form of a weasel and walked around the unfinished sand pit, and then he walked out with a subtle face.

Although no one was told, Pu Luo decided that when he "retired", he would definitely ask the designer to make a cage for the weasel.

The claw feeling of the yellow sand is really good to step on~

Ahem, both the perch and the meadow desert are actually dynamic zones, and the designers also set up a static zone for pepper.

In the wild, desert cats live in natural caves, and if it is the breeding season, they will also choose caves with complex terrain and hidden bends, which are called breeding caves.

In order to hide the location of the burrows, desert cats do not usually live in breeding burrows, they live closer to food, and scholars call the latter temporary burrows.

Temporary caves generally have several exits, but they are not as tortuous and complicated as breeding holes, although the theory says so, but the actual appearance of the cave is not clear to even the designer, and it is not good to rely on imagination to not conform to the nature of desert cats.

So the director specially went to consult the Qingtang Zoo, the only one in China that has successfully raised and bred desert cats.

Qingtang Zoo is located in Qinghai, the base camp of desert cats, and is also the only large-scale comprehensive zoo and rescue station in Qinghai Province, which undertakes extremely heavy rescue work.

This season is still a little hot in Quancheng, but in Qinghai has begun to cool down rapidly, and the rescue station is about to enter a busy rescue period, but when Lu Wu called, the other side still did not hesitate to transfer the call to the desert cat breeder, and combined with their understanding of the desert cat, Lu Wu sent a design plan to make some modifications.

They even used mud to help shape a few desert cat cave structures that were observed in the wild and sent them to Lu Wu.

"But there's no need for the exact same makeover." "In our experience, caves are a last resort, and if they could, they wouldn't be reluctant to live in artificial dens," said the keeper on the other side. Especially the heated kind. ”

Director Lu hesitated in comfort and pristine, and finally chose both!

Pepper's new home has four nests alone, some of which are naturally traditional and some are more comfortable, so she chooses for herself.

He built the traditional rock caves in the cage with stones, but the inside of the caves was leveled and hay mats were laid, one of the longest and most complex, and the cave was built close to the glass walls of the exhibition area.

However, the glass walls are one-way glass, so you don't have to worry about pepper being surprised by tourists.

Although the pepper is inside and can't see the outside, visitors can see how the desert cat moves and inhabits inside.

Of course, in order to avoid low-quality tourists being alarmed by the pepper, tourists are two people away from the glass, and can only look at it from a distance and cannot touch it.

At the suggestion of the Qingtang Zoo, they also planted some plants from pepper's hometown in the garden.

The alpine meadows are more demanding for the environment, and they only choose a few of the best breeds to transplant, but at the edge of the cage, the zoo grows a batch of barley, rape and, of course, wheat, which is very popular with felines.

These crops are cold and drought tolerant, don't require much care if the harvest is not taken into account, and they also form a natural visual barrier to reduce the discomfort of onlookers for the pepper.

In fact, this is only part of the enrichment of the environment, but it later attracted some small surprises.

In spring, the rape flowers are in full bloom, and the butterflies that come in become the objects of pepper's play.

Wheat ripens in the summer and barley in the fall, and sparrows and voles enrich the pepper's spare time.

However, because of the lack of a leg, pepper's hunting ability was greatly reduced, and most of the hunted animals were false alarms and did not cause any substantial damage.

But despite not being able to taste game, Pepper is a great fan of the game, even more than any other enrichment toy, and visitors to this season can often see Pepper hiding in a corner and observing it secretly, and it has a meme for it.

These are all afterwords, and the new home of Pepper has not yet been completed! The pepper cat is still sitting on the high shelf of the old cage, lazily basking in the sun and petting mice, and being her quiet beauty.

The renovation engineering team hired the one when the crocodile house was built, and the other party moved very quickly, and the professional level was also very good, and the progress was not slow under the flowering of multiple cages together, which was a bitter zoo for visitors and animals.

This overhaul is said to be a renovation, in fact, it is more of a new construction, and the impact on the visit is not great, but the Daishan Zoo is already small, and there is only one main road, and the noise and the shuttle of the engineering team will definitely affect the experience of tourists.

So the director made a decision, and during this time the zoo will be open as usual, and all visitors who buy tickets will receive a grilled sausage.

Now there is no need to do the barbecue sausage, and the director bought a large sausage roast machine after he got rich, and the two can work together to cope with the flow of people on weekdays.

In parallel with the renovation of the zoo, there is also a recruitment plan for the zoo, which has been posted on the local website, but what people did not expect is that the recruiter has not yet come, but someone has come to recommend themselves.

And the visitor was a foreign visitor.

"Sorry, but you just said what position you applied for?" Pu Luo was a little suspicious of his eyes.

"I'm here to apply for a veterinarian, otherwise, the breeder will also become a breeder." The big black brother smiled warmly.

"I have a license to practice veterinary medicine." The other party took out a copy of the certificate from the folder, handed it to Pu Luo, and opened it to him very intimately, "I still have rich experience in rescue." ”

This time it was a stack of activity certificates, and at first glance, all of them were relatively formal relief organizations, and there were even several large international organizations.

"I can also climb rocks, sanda, and I have passed the eighth level of Chinese literature, and there is no problem in reading and chatting, but the accent may need to be used to ......."

Pu Luo's expression was a little distorted, this, this is a talent!

This resume and skills can already be called glittering, if these documents are genuine.

With this resume, this black friend in front of him could have applied for jobs at many large zoos, so why should he apply for a job here?

Whether it is salary or future career planning, their zoo can't give him a better one.

"Why are you here...... he touched his head and smiled, "Because my treatment is a bit special, they can't accept it." ”

Pu Luo's smile was still friendly, but his eyes had become cautious, "Can I ask what kind of treatment it is?" ”

"It's not something you can't say." He smiled innocently, took out a cloth bag from his bag, and unfolded it in front of Pu Luo. The bag of glitter almost dazzled the little weasel's eyes.

"This, this is ......" Pu Luo's eyes looked back and forth on this set of gold objects, and his eyes were about to be sucked in.

No, this thing shouldn't be here, right?

The black brother seemed to be surprised by this startled reaction, and he said calmly: "I studied under Wang Aiguo, the successor of Wang's acupuncture and moxibustion in Sichuan, and this set of golden needles was given to me by my master when I left school. ”

That's right, his treatment method is acupuncture.

Pu Luo opened his mouth, don't get me wrong, he doesn't have any opinions on acupuncture, but black, acupuncture, veterinarian, zoo, these four words are linked, how strange do you look at it?

And has our country's support for acupuncture treatment reached the veterinary field?

Of course not!

"Acupuncture treatment is very effective in treating the nervous system and recovery of animals, and in some cities, animal clinics have opened special treatments for acupuncture recovery." The black brother touched his head: "But it's true that my main study is human medicine, and veterinarian is my part-time job." Mainly because although I have left school, there are not many hospitals willing to hire me, so I think about continuing to study, but reading is too expensive, and ordinary work takes up a lot of time, so I ......"

Puluo: = =

Got it, so you're looking for a job that can be practical and relatively free for you to juggle your studies, right?

Then their zoo is really suitable.

Because the zoo has a license to treat wild animals, the zoo is equipped with two veterinarians, one is the director and the other is a veterinarian who is not on duty, and the other will only come to the zoo to help the director complete the physical examination and immunization of the animals during the epidemic prevention period.

However, the zoo is now planning to expand, and it is really not enough to rely on the director alone, and it is indeed a time to consider the price and quality of the zoo.

However, there was a question that Pu was curious about, and he couldn't hold back if he didn't ask, so he looked at the name of the country that was completely unfamiliar to him on the other side's nationality and asked, "If you feel offended, you can refuse to answer......

"You must want to know how I learned Chinese medicine, right?" The black guy showed his big white teeth, and when he saw Pu Luo's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly: "I don't mind being questioned like this, in fact, I would love to share my story." ”

The black friend's real name is very long, and in order to facilitate his integration into the masses, he gave himself a resounding Chinese name -- Wang Qiangguo.

He comes from a very, very poor village in the Republic of South Africa, two diagonal to China.

In Wang Aiguo's words, they are so poor that there are no thieves.

Thieves, robbers, and crooks have nothing, because as soon as they come, their villagers will riot and strip people naked and rob them.

Such a poor village does not need to ask, naturally there is a lack of medical treatment.

"In fact, the drugs we have there are not expensive, because there are many countries that donate to us, and the price of drugs in our country is only 1/5 of that of developed countries, but the price is not absolute, and we still can't afford this price under the measurement of living standards."

Speaking of this, Wang Qiangguo's eyes were a little sad.

What if you can't afford it? Then there is only giving up.

Wang Qiangguo's family has such a abandonment, his grandfather was abandoned, then his grandmother was abandoned, and the youngest brother was also abandoned, Wang Qiangguo was very panicked and scared, on the one hand, he was glad that it was not himself who was sick, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the next one would be himself.

So, he desperately wanted to grasp a rope and change his fate of being abandoned, but he was too young at the time to grasp the rope that no adult could grasp, how could his little hands hold it?

Until one day, a truck with a red star flag drove into his village.

The driver of the truck had come to ask for directions, and after asking for directions, they not only left a question about the fare, but also told them that the Chinese medical team was about to build a new camp nearby, and that they would provide cheap medical assistance, and of course, everyone was welcome to come and work.

As soon as Wang Qiangguo heard that he could make money, he lied about his age to work, but of course he was soon exposed, and he looked too young for anyone to believe that he was an adult.

However, the medical team did not return him, but asked him to help with some simple tasks.

For Wang Qiangguo, who has not received basic education, he had no idea what this country called "CHINA" was like, where it was, what it was like, and what kind of story and culture they had.

And the medical team he came into contact with is the "CHINA" he knows.

They are very conscientious in their work, even thinking about the position of a screw, but they are also very kind, gentle, and smiling, and they prefer to pat their shoulders to express their feelings than the handshake and hug in the West.

Wang Qiangguo ate his first grain of sugar there, although the doctor at the time said that it was not actually sugar, but some kind of insect repellent...... But he's already satisfied.

Later, the doctors stuffed him with a more delicious candy, which was white and soft, full of milky flavor, and was very, very delicious, but the sugar was so sticky that it stuck one of Wang Qiangguo's teeth.

When they saw the teeth, not only Wang Qiangguo froze, but the doctors also froze, and then they burst into laughter and began to look around at his teeth, and then Wang Qiangguo received a gift - a toothbrush and toothpaste.

But Wang Qiangguo's biggest gain was that he came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine there.

For Wang Qiangguo, Chinese medicine is simply amazing.

With a single touch of the wrist, you can know the patient's physical condition without the need for a high examination fee.

There is no need to hang water, no injections, no need to buy expensive small pills, just a few injections on the body, and drink some cheap bitter medicine to cure the disease.

He understands all too well what this low cost of treatment means for patients.
