"So this is an iron-eating giant panda?" Zhang Shuo saw the panda that had become fatter.
"It looks like a bear. It has a small head and numb feet. It is black and white. It can eat copper, iron, bamboo, and bones. Its joints are strong and straight.
Its skin is wet. "Bi Goo recited the description of an iron-eating giant panda.
The five of them got off the carriage and stood at the top of the panda garden. They were all wearing headgear that protected against the cold. Only their eyes and mouths were exposed.
The headgear was invented by Li Yi, including the earmuffs. The earmuffs could cover the chin.
Those who knew how to knit sweaters could use wool. It was very simple and had a good insulation effect.
At this time, the five of them were using it to hide their identities and protect against the cold.
"It's very warm. I can feel the heat in front of such a big garden." Yao Chong stretched out his hand to feel the heat.
A tourist beside them laughed after hearing that. "The giant panda is Li Dongzhu's baby. They have to control the temperature and use the floor heating. They said it should be maintained at 16 to 18 degrees."
"Good heavens. They can't stop eating. If it wasn't for the temporary suspension of the Li Family Zhuangzi's bamboo shoots, they wouldn't eat bamboo," another person said.
"The one who is feeding the child is looking at us. It's not fierce."
Lu Huaishen saw the panda feeding the child and thought of his child when he was young.
"They even gave him canned meat. They fed him five bamboo tubes at a time. Li Dongzhu said they couldn't give him fresh meat. They would develop a habit of eating fresh meat and would think of eating humans.
There were sausages, smoked chicken, roasted lamb legs, and boiled eggs. They ate much more fiercely than humans.
Recently, they have been feeding the panda a mixture to let it gain weight quickly.
It's still okay in winter. It's just a matter of burning coal.
It needs a lot of ice to maintain this temperature in summer. This year, the icehouse has to be expanded by two times. "
The zookeeper beside them saw that the five of them were in a luxurious carriage and thought they might be shopping in Zhuangzi. He explained patiently.
The five of them nodded and didn't say anything. They continued to look and turned to another courtyard.
There were two giant pandas, one big and one small. The big one was sitting there eating bamboo while the small one was crawling around.
It crawled and crawled until it reached a smooth cement slide. It stood up and looked around.
It looked like a human. It also had two legs and a small belly. Then, it seemed to have thought of something and raised its head.
His head was raised, and his body leaned backward. He lost his balance and sat down on the slide.
Amidst many people's cries of surprise, it slid down and sat there, looking around blankly.
"Hahaha ~ ~ ~" The 'audience' laughed loudly. It was too fun.
"Now I know why Xiao Yi insisted on spending so much money to buy one. Seeing a giant panda makes people feel good."
Lu Huaishen stopped laughing and lamented.
Pandas look different from other animals. Bears can't be compared at all. Bears look fierce.
Pandas had coarse skin and thick flesh. The color of their bodies, especially their eyes and round heads, gave people a sense of fun no matter what they did.
When you're in a bad mood, you can feel better by looking at the panda.
"If it weren't for the high price, I would also want to raise one. It's more interesting than dogs and cats." Wei Zhigu's heart was melted by the cuteness of the panda.
He finally realized that the giant panda's every move had a special rhythm.
He could look at it all the time, even when it was sleeping. It was fun.
However, he gave up when he thought of the money needed to own a panda.
Even if he got one without spending money, he wouldn't be given 10,000 yuan.
So what if he got it? He had to feed the bamboo every day and have a garden to maintain the temperature. It couldn't be too cold or too hot.
Especially when it was hot. When the temperature was high in summer, he couldn't afford to use ice.
Didn't you hear the people in Zhuangzi say that they needed to cool down the temperature?
Obviously, they couldn't just throw a pile of ice inside. Otherwise, Li Yi wouldn't have done that.
"Let's go. We came here to see the captives. I can't get enough of the pandas. We'll come again when we have time."
Yao Chong realized that staring at the pandas was addictive. He told everyone to go back and see the captives again.
"Why go to the southwest? We also have them in the mountains here. It's just that they're not easy to catch. They run away when they meet people deep in the mountains."
Wei Zhigu thought of something. Pandas didn't only live in the southwest.
He told the others and went to the village owner. "Tell Li Yi that other than the southwest, there are also people around Chang 'an who have seen pandas. I'm Wei Zhigu."
"Minister Wei?" When the village owner heard the name, the first person he thought of was the Minister of Works.
"Yes!" Wei Zhigu replied and got into the car.
The village owner didn't dare to delay and ran to find Li Yi.
Li Yi was teaching the eighty nurses. The students didn't have classes in the afternoon.
The students were reciting a lot of fill-in-the-blank questions for the imperial examination.
There was no need to learn poems. The students communicated with each other and pointed out the problems in the poems.
They asked for poems to be improvised. They would immediately write a poem when they saw something.
It required a regular rhythm, and most of them were seven-character and five-character poems.
As for the current affairs, Li Yi told them not to worry and that he would arrange it.
The other students were guessing what the political strategy of the Tang dynasty would be and what kind of current affairs would be.
Li Yi wasn't. He knew the situation and he could still change it.
Since there was still a long time before the exam, they could discuss the current affairs a month in advance.
"Dongzhu." The village owner who was in the panda park ran over.
"What's the matter?" Li Yi motioned for the students to wait and walked to the door.
Usually, if it wasn't a big matter, they would have to wait for him to finish the class.
"Minister Wei Zhigu and a few others came in a car. Minister Wei said that pandas are not only found in the southwest," the village owner reported.
"Yes, it's the Tang dynasty now. Pandas are widely distributed. Okay, I got it."
Li Yi was slightly stunned. After that, he went back to class.
After the two classes, he went to find Song De.
"Put up a notice in the newspaper. Ask people who have nothing to do, especially hunters, to form teams to look for pandas in the mountains.
As long as they find traces of pandas, they will give a hundred. If we follow the traces and find pandas, they will give us a thousand.
They don't need to catch them. They just need to see them. Emphasize that they don't catch them. They don't know how to control their strength. "
He had forgotten about Li Yi's arrangement. He thought that there were only pandas in that small area.
There were many pandas now, and they were widely distributed.
Chang 'an was in Shaanxi, and pandas could be found in Shaanxi.
He already had pandas in the wild back then, not to mention in the Tang dynasty.
Song De went to make the arrangements. Li Yi sighed. "I should have known earlier. It's too late. The breeding season of pandas is over."
Li Yi was sad. The probability of wild pandas giving birth to twins was not small.
But the female panda would only keep one and the other would be eliminated.
If they knew this year, they could send people to look for the female panda in advance. When the female panda gave birth to two and threw away one, they could bring the other one back. It could be raised.
"Next year, we have to check the situation in advance. Catching pandas is destroying their lives. It's not a problem to pick up the one that they don't want."
Li Yi felt that he had missed out on a lot of opportunities. Pandas were so cute. Wouldn't it be a pity if they gave birth to two and threw away one?
There was no chance this year. Without a mother, how could the little panda survive?
The breeding season of pandas had passed. Unless there were special circumstances, such as finding a mate late.
