Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Beauty is justice
"Hey, there are so many people here!"
Tang Xiaoxin looked at the panda in front of the fence, and suddenly felt a little sultry.
I turned my head in a daze and was startled, unconsciously, surrounded by people.
There were still relatively few people on the upper platform, but as time went by, the number of visitors to the Panda Pavilion gradually increased, and many visitors came up.
"Let's go shopping elsewhere!" Mother Tang suggested.
There are so many people here, and the pandas start to eat bamboo and they don't play anymore.
Father Tang is still reluctant to give up. It feels like looking at the panda pavilion on the upper floor, the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.
Especially at the boundary in the middle, watching two pandas living on one side each, one eating bamboo and the other playing, each looks very contented. The moving pandas, the static venues, and the flowing tourists outside have a wonderful sense of harmony.
He expressed his own opinion: "Pandas need their own territorial space. You see, this male and female pandas live on both sides of the exhibition hall without interfering with each other. We tourists are outside and they are inside. We also keep a distance from the pandas. , It's more harmonious, isn't it."
Tang Xiaoxin said in surprise: "Dad, you're still a philosopher! You can see so much in the exhibition hall."
She didn't think so much, but it made sense to hear what my dad said!
Going back to the lower level, I thought for a while and said: "You can go shopping nearby and see other animals. I want to see the exhibition signs here!"
Mother Tang glanced at the panda restaurant next to her and said, "Okay, let's come over at 10 o'clock and have a meal in the panda restaurant!"
"Are you eating so early? It's too early, you're not hungry yet."
Father Tang agreed: "If you want to eat here, you have to be as early as possible. There must be no seats anymore. There are so many people today."
Tang Xiaoxin wandered in front of the popular science exhibition board and saw a conspicuous exhibition board with a cute picture of a panda lying on a tree. The title read: "The value of the face is justice!"
The sign read: "People are always eager for beautiful things, and high-value animals are called 'flagship species' in conservation biology.
Relying on his naive appearance, the panda is loved by the public and becomes a star in the animal world. There are also polar bears, elephants, finless porpoises, golden monkeys, tigers, snow leopards, etc. They are all flagship animals.
Compared with complex ecological concepts, flagship species are more appealing and can attract public attention, attract public support and even participate in conservation actions.
Scientists have found that the high-value animals in a zoo can raise 46 times more donations than low-value animals! "
Tang Xiaoxin couldn't help but vomit: "Wow, it's really a face-seeking world, it's too realistic."
"The concepts corresponding to flagship species, as well as cornerstone species and umbrella species, indicate species.
Cornerstone species, also known as key species, play a key role in the ecosystem, such as the pikas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
In the past two to three decades, pikas have been regarded as pests and have promoted the desertification of the land. After large-scale poisoning, pikas have died in large numbers. Many birds of prey that prey on pikas also eat poisonous individuals. And die.
Later, people discovered that after pikas excavate the soil and dig holes, the permeability of the soil will be greatly improved, and the surface runoff will be reduced, which can reduce the probability of soil erosion and flooding, and make the grassland ecosystem more healthy. In fact, the grassland is degraded due to overgrazing by humans.
The role of umbrella species is to protect other species.
A species can play different roles at the same time. For example, the giant panda is both a flagship species and an umbrella species.
96% of the habitats of giant pandas overlap with the distribution hotspots of endemic species in my country. The giant panda is like an umbrella. While people are protecting the giant panda, animals in other habitats are also protected.
The indicator species can reflect changes in the environment and the composition of the ecological community..."
Tang Xiaoxin suddenly said, "It turned out to be like this!"
She was also a little puzzled when she saw someone say what is the use of protecting giant pandas, but now she finally understands it.
Animals such as pikas, wolves, and wild boars, although they play a very important role in the ecosystem, do not look good. Ordinary people don't like them, and even treat them as pests.
High-value animals like giant pandas and green peacocks can attract people's attention, make it easier to publicize conservation work, and increase public awareness of environmental protection. It can also be used as a protective umbrella to shelter other animals.
Although the title of the exhibition board says "The value of appearance is justice", it is actually telling visitors not to look at the value of appearance, but to decide the likes and dislikes of animals.
Tang Xiaoxin was a little touched in her heart, after pondering for a moment, she wandered around.
...
Ten o'clock!
Tang Xiaoxin and her parents got together again and came to the Panda Restaurant.
Sure enough, as Tang Ma guessed, there were already many tourists dining at this time, for fear that there would be no place at a later time.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a faint fragrance, which lingered on the tip of my nose.
"smell good!"
Tang Xiaoxin felt very strange. She ate a cage of steamed buns and drank a cup of soy milk before setting off in the morning. She was not hungry at all.
Choosing a place to sit down, Dad Tang directly scanned the QR code on the table and couldn't wait to start ordering.
Mother Tang straightened up, looking around, quietly looking at other people's tables, "What kind of dishes are so fragrant?"
There is also a table with children to play next to it!
On the table are a plate of potato meatballs, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of potato stewed chicken nuggets, a plate of bamboo shoots...
Mother Tang suddenly found something wrong, and she wondered for a while: "Why are there so many potatoes? How can there be such an order?"
But watching other people, children and adults, they all tasted deliciously, showing a very intoxicated expression, and the other table was also potatoes!
"C..."
Father Tang opened the order interface and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
Mother Tang turned her head and leaned forward: "What's the matter?"
But she was also shocked afterwards!
Panda Restaurant is positioned at the upper-middle level. A family can order a few meals for three to four hundred yuan.
It's not as affordable as the animal restaurant. A single set menu sells for about 40. It's not as expensive as the Lion's restaurant. If you want to eat better, you can order a few steaks and barbecues, and you can easily spend thousands of them.
However, because of the potatoes sent by Fang Ye, the price of the dishes has undergone some changes...
Potato stew chicken nuggets: 78
Potato Stewed Chicken Nuggets Deluxe Edition: 188
Potato Meatball Deluxe Edition: 288
"Waiter waiter!"
The waiter of the restaurant came over smiled and said, "Hello, do you have any needs?"
Dad Fang pointed to the potato stewed chicken nuggets on the menu and was very puzzled: "Hey, what is the difference between your potato stewed chicken deluxe version and the regular version? Why is it so expensive?"
The waiter respectfully said: "Because the potatoes are organic potatoes grown by our director himself! The taste is wonderful, healthy, natural and pollution-free."
Father Fang showed a surprised and entangled expression: "Does your gardener grow potatoes?"
It's understandable that organic potatoes are a bit more expensive, but why are they so expensive? Is it just because the principal planted it? It is also described as beautiful.
Ordered some potato **** again: "Then why are potato **** sold more expensive than stewed chicken nuggets!?"
The waiter honestly said: "Because of potato balls, potatoes use more ingredients!"
