Kapitel 14: Chapter 580: Breakfast and Panda Watching
Yan Ganghui got off the tatami mat and walked into the courtyard.
By this time, birds like the white-headed bulbul were already chirping and singing on the treetops.
Watching the beautiful bamboo leaves sway in the wind and listening to the lively bird songs, he took a deep breath, savoring the fresh morning air tinged with the scent of bamboo dew. He couldn't help but feel a bit intoxicated!
Su Hui walked up behind him, surprised, "How come you woke up earlier than me today?"
Yan Ganghui laughed, "Maybe it's the effect of the hot spring and medicinal bath from yesterday. I slept like a log and feel full of energy now. Honestly, the last time I slept this well was a few years ago during the New Year at home!"
Su Hui thought for a moment and said, "This hot spring must be good for sleep quality. I've always slept well, so I just felt a bit more comfortable than usual. But you, who usually have poor sleep quality, noticed a big difference."
She laughed, covering her mouth, "Speaking of which, you often snore at night, but I didn't hear you snoring at all last night."
Yan Ganghui scratched his head, half-believing and half-doubting, thinking his girlfriend was joking.
He wasn't overweight, and his college roommates never mentioned him snoring.
Anyway, he did sleep very well last night.
"Since we're both up, let's wash up, take a walk, and then have some breakfast."
After washing up, they held hands and left the small courtyard.
It was nighttime when they arrived yesterday, so they couldn't see the surroundings clearly.
Yan Ganghui now noticed that the environment outside was also quite elegant and serene.
Many tourists were already up, smiling and taking leisurely walks on the paths, indicating they had a comfortable stay last night.
Most were couples like them or families with children.
While strolling, Yan Ganghui took a few photos of Su Hui.
By the hot spring pool, she posed on an inflatable swan; under the welcoming pine tree in the front yard, she squinted her eyes, clasped her hands behind her back, and slightly tilted her head, letting the wind blow her hair.
She struck various cute poses.
After a while, they reached the service desk and asked the staff where to have breakfast.
The staff warmly directed them: "There's a dining area on the second floor of the inn where you can enjoy breakfast while admiring the scenery below.
Breakfast includes miso soup, porridge, rice, steamed buns, tamagoyaki, fish, eggs, natto, and pickled vegetables.
Pickled vegetables are salted vegetables, and tamagoyaki is a rolled omelet.
If you're not used to Japanese-style breakfast, you can go to the Panda Restaurant. Follow the path to the golden monkeys, then walk through the bamboo forest to reach the panda enclosure!
The Panda Restaurant opens at 8 AM when the zoo opens."
Yan Ganghui checked the time, and it was almost 8 AM. He asked Su Hui, "Where do you want to eat?"
Su Hui excitedly said, "Let's go to the Panda Restaurant! We can have breakfast while watching the pandas."
Yan Ganghui also thought having fish for breakfast was a bit dull and agreed.
When they arrived at the panda enclosure, it was already open, and some tourists were inside choosing their meals.
Yan Ganghui scanned the QR code on the table and looked at the menu, feeling a bit stunned!
A panda curry rice for 45 yuan was understandable, but a deluxe chive pocket for 99 yuan, deluxe potato stew chicken for 188 yuan, deluxe smashed cucumber for 199 yuan, and deluxe potato balls for 288 yuan—why were they so expensive?
But then he remembered Zhou Ke's post about the magical vegetables grown by the director, which were said to be incredibly delicious and hard to come by... These must be the magical vegetables! The vegetables were pricier than the meat.
Thinking about the medicinal bath ingredients he bought last night, although a bit expensive, the results were impressive!
A single massage usually costs several hundred yuan, and a hot spring soak was worth ten massages.
After discussing with his girlfriend, they ordered two chive pockets, a potato ball, and a panda curry rice.
For breakfast, one serving should be enough for both of them since their appetites weren't large, and they didn't want to waste food.
Soon, the hot chive pockets and panda curry rice were served.
The chive pockets were fried to a golden crisp, emitting a rich aroma of chives, whetting their appetites.
Yan Ganghui felt his stomach juices flowing and eagerly picked up a chive pocket. As he brought it to his mouth, he quickly let go: "Ouch! It's hot!"
Su Hui laughed, "Take your time, no one's going to snatch it from you."
"It's best eaten hot!"
Yan Ganghui blew on it and took a bite, hearing a "crunch" as the crispy golden crust broke open, releasing a burst of sweet, savory juice.
He instinctively slurped the juice, wincing from the heat, and took another bite, mumbling, "Delicious! So delicious..."
Su Hui was skeptical, "Is it really that good?"
She blew on it and took a bite, and was immediately captivated by the taste.
They quickly devoured the chive pockets without saying a word.
The server brought over potato balls and two bowls of bamboo shoot soup: "Enjoy your meal."
Yan Ganghui was puzzled, "I don't think I ordered bamboo shoot soup?"
The server smiled, "It's complimentary from our restaurant!"
"Oh, that's nice. By the way, could we get another bowl?"
As they ate, Yan Ganghui slowed down, savoring the bamboo shoot soup while enjoying the view of the panda enclosure through the large windows.
He thought to himself, this is truly heavenly!
After soaking in the hot spring and having a comfortable night's sleep at the picturesque inn, they were now enjoying an expensive but incredibly delicious breakfast while watching adorable pandas!
If he had the money, he would love to retire at the zoo and live to 120 years old.
Unfortunately, this beautiful life could only be enjoyed for a day.
Cloud, the panda, had just come out of the back room and was wandering around the activity area, curiously looking around to see what surprises the keeper had prepared.
Seeing a sack hanging from a tree, she walked over to it.
She stood up and patted the sack, hearing a "ding-a-ling" sound from inside, which startled her!
She turned and ran, rolling into a bush.
Slowly, she peeked her head out, staring at the sack with wide eyes and pricked ears, listening carefully.
Not noticing anything unusual, she cautiously walked back and patted it again.
"Ding-a-ling~ ding-a-ling~"
Gradually, she started having fun, constantly patting the sack and even pushing it with her head.
Yan Ganghui watched curiously, "What's she doing? What's in that sack that's making the panda so happy?"
Sacks are common enrichment tools, with their contents frequently changed to provide animals with new experiences.
Today, the sack contained toy balls with bells!
It was the first time Cloud had heard such a sound.
Although initially startled, she found it interesting and soon got engrossed in playing with it.
