Chapter 413: Chapter 380: Such Cheap Chicken—Wouldn’t It Taste Great If You Took It Home Yourself?

After immersing in the cheerful atmosphere of the Peacock Hall, Huang Jun’s family stepped lightly into the territory of the giraffes.

Here, the tall giraffes strutted around the grassland with their graceful postures, occasionally bowing their heads to accept the tasty leaves offered by tourists.

Then, they entered the realm of the black bears, where these round, large creatures lazily rolled around on the grass, occasionally looking up at the crowd of spectators.

They were indeed charmingly clumsy!

Next came the playful antics of the monkeys, with little monkeys leaping between branches and making joyful calls.

Afterward, they moved to the crocodile pool, where the enormous cold-blooded hunters — crocodiles — lay quietly lurking beneath the water’s surface...

Throughout these animal exhibits, Huang Jun couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sentiment.

Although these animals each have their unique charm, they are still confined by manmade fences and restrictions in this seemingly vast zoo, making the term "wild" appear especially hollow here.

Hmm, how should I say it!

It feels like "using a sheep’s head to sell dog meat," doesn’t it?

To some extent, it truly seems to be a disservice to the term "wild!"

But, I have to say, it aligns perfectly with my initial expectations!

Luckily, the two little ones are enjoying themselves, making it all worth it!

After all, you can’t buy the joy in your heart!

"Daddy, where are the big tigers? I really want to see the big tigers!"

Weiwei’s voice interrupted Huang Jun’s thoughts, her little face full of anticipation and curiosity for the big tigers.

Feeling Weiwei’s eagerness, Huang Jun swiftly scanned the park’s route map, then answered with a gentle smile, "Soon, it’s right up ahead..."

"Really? Then let’s hurry up, Daddy, I want to see the big tigers right now!" Weiwei exclaimed excitedly upon hearing the news, pulling Huang Jun’s hand to hurry forward.

"Alright, alright, let’s walk faster..."

Huang Jun smiled affectionately, holding Qingqing’s little hand, followed Weiwei and quickened their pace.

A moment later.

Their family of three arrived at the tiger exhibit Weiwei had been longing for.

Inside the fence, two majestic tigers were leisurely strolling within their territory.

Their golden fur shone brightly under the sunlight, with black stripes like natural works of art outlining their strong and muscular forms.

When Weiwei saw these two impressive tigers, her eyes lit up like light bulbs, excitedly pointing at the tigers inside the fence, "Wow, Daddy, look, those are big tigers!"

Qingqing soon followed, excitedly agreeing, "Yeah! Daddy, look, it’s a live big tiger! So big!"

Huang Jun laughed as he hugged them, quietly asking, "Are you two little ones afraid?"

Qingqing and Weiwei simultaneously shook their heads, "They’re locked inside, they can’t come out, we’re not afraid!"

A nearby parent overheard Huang Jun’s family’s conversation and turned to his son who was hiding beside him, saying, "Look, the sisters aren’t afraid, what are you afraid of? A little man should be brave."

The little boy looked at Weiwei and Qingqing’s fearless expressions and thought they made a lot of sense, gradually feeling his fear melt away.

Unwilling to be outdone, he straightened his chest, summoned courage, and walked to the fence, somewhat shyly but curiously watching the carefree tigers.

"Daddy, where are the squirrels?" Qingqing suddenly asked.

Huang Jun chuckled and replied, "I don’t know, Daddy didn’t notice, do you want to see the squirrels? Maybe Daddy can find them later..."

"No need~"

Qingqing shook her little head lightly, then extended her chubby little hand and started singing sweetly, "Little squirrels teach tigers, what to learn? Climbing trees. Remember to teach climbing up, forgot to teach climbing down, causing the tiger can’t climb down the tree..."

Listening to this, Huang Jun understood why Qingqing thought of little squirrels upon seeing the tigers and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Seeing this, Weiwei joined in singing, "Little squirrel, teach tiger, learn what..."

Perhaps this song is a universal finger song in kindergarten!

Just as Qingqing and Weiwei started singing, a few kids nearby chimed in, singing together like a recording, perfectly synchronized.

The tigers were also attracted by the children’s singing, stopping in their tracks, turning to curiously gaze at the kids with their deep-set eyes...

Seeing this scene, Huang Jun found it incredibly cute, quickly pulling out his phone to start recording this heartwarming moment.

After Qingqing and Weiwei finished singing the "Tiger Learns to Climb a Tree" song, they noticed the children around them mimicking their actions and singing, prompting them to pout slightly, then with a sparkle in their eyes, eagerly switched to another nursery rhyme and continued singing.

Qingqing’s clear voice rang out again, singing, "One two three four five, climb up the mountain to fight the tiger, the tiger wasn’t home, fought the little squirrels, how many squirrels? One two three four five..."

Then, Weiwei’s cheerful voice rang out, singing a different song, "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast, one always without eyes, one always without ears, very strange, very strange..."

It seems the kindergarten taught quite a few tiger songs!

As Huang Jun enjoyed the children’s performance, he continued to record this beautiful moment on his phone, and once he finished filming, he edited some text and paired it with the video of the children singing to post on his Moments.

Nearby parents were also infected by this joyful atmosphere, gathering around to praise Huang Jun’s two treasured daughters.

"These two little girls are just too cute, singing so beautifully and with such rhythm."

"Yeah, these twin girls are really adorable and good-looking too!"

"..."

Parents with only sons nearby looked at Qingqing and Weiwei with unabashed envy in their eyes,

Thinking how happy it would be to have such cute daughters themselves!

At the same time, they marveled at Huang Jun’s strong genes, having such smart and beautiful daughters.

However, they couldn’t shake the feeling that Huang Jun looked somewhat familiar as if they had seen him somewhere before but couldn’t quite recall at the moment.

Just then.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Tiger, catch..."

The next moment...

All eyes turned to the source of the sound...

They saw a tourist excitedly throwing a piece of chicken towards the tigers inside the fence.

"Thud~"

The chicken drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally landed with a "thud" in the middle of the enclosure, not far from the two hungry tigers.

Almost at the moment the chicken hit the ground, the two tigers approached, their eyes fixed intently on the delicacy that had fallen from the sky.

One tiger was the first to step forward, moving closer to the chicken, while the other followed closely behind, the distance between them gradually shrinking.

They did not immediately pounce on the food but jostled each other with their bodies, trying to secure a favorable position.

One tiger nudged the other with its head, as if to say: I saw it first.

The other tiger, unwilling to back down, let out a low growl, baring its sharp teeth, as if to respond: There’s no first come, first served rule here.

Then, it launched the attack first, leaping fiercely, its sharp claws slashing through the air, trying to secure the chicken firmly.

But the tiger on the right was equally unwilling to yield, deftly avoiding the left tiger’s attack while extending its own claws, attempting to snatch the chicken to its side.

For a moment...

The two tigers went back and forth, the struggle unusually intense.

In an instant...

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The children’s singing abruptly ceased, their gazes firmly drawn to the scene before them, craning their necks to watch.

The surrounding tourists were not to be outdone, all taking out their phones, trying to capture this rare moment, the sound of photos and videos echoing one after another.

Huang Jun, like other parents, instinctively held the kids’ small hands tightly, softly reminding them to keep their distance, not to get too close to the fence to avoid accidental injury.

"Daddy, why did that uncle throw the chicken inside?" Qingqing snuggled beside Huang Jun, her big, watery eyes full of puzzled curiosity.

"Oh, they’re feeding the tigers!"

Huang Jun replied softly, his gaze followed to a sign on the fence, which clearly stated: Feeding the tigers, twenty bucks for a chicken.

Qingqing and Weiwei, upon hearing this, were immediately intrigued: "Wow, you can even feed the tigers?"

Finally, Weiwei couldn’t help but express her thoughts: "I really want to feed the big tigers!"

"I want to too~"

Qingqing also looked hopeful.

This tiny request, Huang Jun naturally wouldn’t refuse. He smiled and said, "Then how about Daddy buys two chickens for you to feed the tigers?"

"Okay!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded eagerly, like pecking chicks.

So then...

Huang Jun led them towards the chicken-selling place not far away inside the park.

The other children saw this and also clamored to buy chickens to feed the tigers.

Parents couldn’t resist and had to comply with the children’s wishes.

After all, out to have fun, you can’t dampen the kids’ spirits.

Exactly!

They strove to be parents who didn’t kill the fun.

"Daddy, look, chickens..." Qingqing said joyfully, staring at the chickens in the shop.

"Mm, Daddy sees them!"

Huang Jun nodded, looking at these chickens, thinking they seemed quite fresh, and various ways to cook chicken sprang to mind: "Nice, these chickens are really nice!"

"They all came in just this morning, very fresh!" the seller said with a smile.

"Then let’s have two!"

Huang Jun chose two chickens and paid by scanning a code.

On the way back...

He couldn’t help but exclaim: "These chickens are truly nice! If used to make scallion oil braised chicken, the taste would surely be great, the chicken would be tender and smooth, with a fresh yet rich flavor, the fragrance of scallions drifting all over the house. Or making chicken noodle soup, the thick chicken broth paired with the slippery noodles, simply delicious beyond compare..."

"Chicken stew with mushrooms is also tasty, the chicken is tender and fragrant..." Qingqing couldn’t help but lick the corner of her mouth.

Weiwei, feeling tempted, her eyes twinkled with an idea, looked up and said: "Daddy, how about we don’t feed the tigers with these chickens and take them home to eat?"

"Yeah! Daddy, why don’t we take the chickens home and cook them?" Qingqing agreed readily with Weiwei’s proposal.

Mm!

One must admit, this truly is a good idea...

Huang Jun thought about it, since he paid for these two chickens, taking them home to eat should be no problem.

So he nodded and said: "Alright, we’ll take them back home, and Daddy will make scallion oil braised chicken and chicken noodle soup for you."

Having said that, he quickly put the chicken into his backpack.

The parents and tourists passing by, upon hearing and seeing this, couldn’t help but question their own choices.

But seeing them walking away, they all silently swallowed a gulp and were also enlightened by Huang Jun’s family.

Indeed!

Such affordable chickens, taking them home to eat, wouldn’t they still be delicious?

And so...

Everyone decided to change their plans too, deciding not to feed the tigers but take the chickens home to share the delicacy with their families...
