Li Yi came in front of a red panda. It had just finished a biscuit and wasn't full. It looked around, hoping that someone would come and feed it.
When it saw Li Yi, it stared at Li Yi's hand. Li Yi was holding a crepe in his hand.
Li Yi took a bite. The red panda tried its best to stand taller and raise its head.
Li Yi pinched a bit of the fruit inside and placed it in his palm. He bent down and handed it over.
The red panda reached out its claws and picked up a small piece of fried dough stick from Li Yi's palm. It couldn't wait to stuff it into its mouth.
In an instant, the red panda paused. Its mouth moved again. It opened its mouth, closed its eyes, and slowly sat down. Its body swayed slightly.
After a while, it took another bite of the fried dough stick in its hand and continued to repeat its previous expression and actions.
There was a lot of chili sauce on the fried dough stick. It was beef chili sauce.
The red panda was obviously spicy, but it wasn't afraid. Instead, it enjoyed it.
"Have you eaten spicy food before?" Li Yi said to the red panda who was addicted to eating chili.
The red panda ignored him and continued to eat. Looking at its expression, it was hard to tell if it was uncomfortable or enjoying it.
A red panda came over from the side. It looked at its companion, sniffed with its nose, and reached out to share.
This one turned to the side, obviously unwilling to share such a small piece of fried dough stick.
"Come, you have some too. Do you think pandas eat chili?" Li Yi bit off a piece of fried dough stick, spat it out, and handed it over.
He couldn't use that hand to pinch the fried dough stick again. It touched the red panda's hand just now.
The second red panda that came over didn't mind. It grabbed it and ate it. In an instant, its eyes widened.
Soon, its expression became the same as its companion's. Its expression was so complicated.
Li Yi took a bite of the crepe and said in a muffled voice, "Does it feel good? Haven't you eaten garlic in the wild? That thing is also quite spicy. "
As he spoke, he turned to leave. The first one had just finished eating and caught up. It stood up and grabbed Li Yi's pants, looking up.
"Are you addicted to eating it? Be careful not to get heaty." This time, Li Yi bit off the remaining part of the youtiao and put it in his hand.
The red panda grabbed onto it and staggered with its two hind legs to find a spot. It lay down on a stick and went to the platform above. It leaned its body against the stick and started eating.
The tourists' eyes lit up as they watched. They were mesmerized by the red panda's cuteness.
"Red pandas are better than giant pandas."
"Who said so? Pandas can do somersaults in their sleep. They're so cute."
"Red pandas also have colors around their eyes and furry tails."
"Red pandas are not round enough. Giant pandas are round enough."
"Little Panda, eat more. If you get fat, you'll become round."
"Stop arguing. I like red pandas. Pandas can't be touched. They're bears and will hurt people. Red pandas can be touched. They even know how to stand up when they're given something."
The tourists discussed among themselves, each with their own opinions.
Pandas are interesting, but you can't get close to them. Red pandas don't hurt people, they just need to be fed.
"Dongzhu, red pandas don't bite people?" Song De looked envious. He also wanted to get close to them.
"Whether it bites or not depends on whether it feels threatened or not. After eating and drinking, you can touch it. It's more docile than giant pandas."
Li Yi wasn't worried about the red panda biting people.
If a tourist was really bitten, it could only mean that the tourist had done something extreme.
It was a matter of the environment. In Zhuangzi, no one would take the initiative to hurt these animals.
Li Yi believed that he could release the red pandas in a few days. If he put them outside, they wouldn't leave if they were given food.
It was difficult to find food in winter now, so the red pandas didn't run very fast.
"Dongzhu, you're still the kind-hearted one," Song De praised.
"Then I'll eat meat too. Give me a sheep, I can eat it with a knife. The same goes for cows and horses."
Li Yi didn't feel that he was so kind that he didn't eat meat or kill animals.
He didn't eat Sanjing meat. If he wanted to eat it, he would do it himself.
He used to have a friend who was licensed and had a doctorate.
With a license, he could go to some Buddhist places for free, including free vegetarian meals.
His friends never bought meat or seafood for him. When they ate together, it was always someone else who bought it.
When he bought it and cooked it, his friend would eat it.
If he couldn't buy it himself, wouldn't he be promoting killing if he bought it himself?
If this friend hadn't taken the initiative to buy fruit at the party, everyone wouldn't have wanted this friend.
The most interesting thing was that this licensed friend liked to tell fortunes and was told by others.
"Dongzhu, nine-knot wolves are so fun. Why don't others keep them?" Song De thought of a question.
"One can't be kept. It needs a partner. When it's in heat, it will become irritable without a partner.
And hunters just like their fur, just like foxes and weasels.
When you see red pandas in the wild, you won't find them so interesting. It's like seeing a giant panda. Who can think that a giant panda is charmingly naive? "
Li Yi said as he walked back. He wanted to wash his hands. The hand that he used to feed the red panda was still hanging by his side.
In the past, when he came across money, he would find a place to wash his hands. He couldn't wipe it clean with a wet towel unless he used alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
"There's a basin of warm water next to you. Wash your hands before touching the red panda. Wash your hands after touching it," Li Yi reminded.
Not long after Li Yi left, Yao Chong and the other four arrived in a group.
"Li Yi even knows how to raise nine-knot wolves. Let's see what's so good about them." Yao Chong walked in front. He was used to being domineering.
"Well, at least he's free now. I hope he can do it again after the New Year."
Lu Huaishen, who was familiar with Li Yi, was worried about the current prime ministers.
Li Rizhi said, "I heard that His Majesty has been very happy since he came two days ago. I don't know what Li Yi did this time."
"The most uncomfortable one is Song Jing. We don't have to worry about him." Liu Youqiu looked like he was gloating.
Yin Sizhen was the youngest official. The four of them had all been prime ministers. He had never been one, only two ministers.
After he was rehired, he was very serious about his work. He was supposed to die this year at 77 years old.
But now, his face was glowing, and he was full of energy when he spoke.
He saw a group of red pandas. After eating, the red pandas were lazy and looking for a place to sleep.
Some saw that their companions had chosen a good spot and ran over to sleep with them.
Its large tail swayed back and forth, and soon, it covered itself and its companions.
"Are they wolves?" Yin Sizhen looked carefully and couldn't see any wolves at all.
"Pandas used to be called iron-eating beasts. Li Yi gave them new names, giant panda, and red panda.
No wonder he always calls the small pandas little panda. It turns out that the name he prepared for the nine-knot wolves is red panda. "
Lu Huaishen smiled. It was really fun. Red pandas were not worse than giant pandas. They were just as cute.
Yao Chong's face was no longer so serious. Looking at the sleeping red pandas, there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
"This old man guesses that Li Yi is waiting for something. If he doesn't say, no one can ask. His Majesty probably knows the situation. Song Jing is in trouble!"
Yao Chong didn't believe that Li Yi would put his thoughts on animals. If so, it meant that his plans were related to animals.
