The matter of adopting animals from the forestry department has been temporarily put on hold. Five kinds of animals represent the upper limit of money, not the upper limit of Su Zhou's strength.
Upon receiving news that several small restaurants had been completed, Su Zhou immediately went to visit her grandparents.
On the first floor of the staff canteen, employees frequently get up with their plates to get the food they like. There is food from land, sea, and air. The seafood is very fresh, but the portions are not large, mainly to avoid waste.
Su Zhou glanced over and saw that Chen Xuan's family was sitting together eating. Chen Xuan's son was tall and thin, and his appearance fit the stereotypical image of a science genius. He had black-rimmed glasses, fair skin, and apart from not having a mustache, he looked like a very good student.
In front of them were several steamed shrimp and crabs, as well as some fruit and meat.
This family is really interesting. Chen Xuan's attire resembles that of a stereotypical math teacher, with a black and white striped polo shirt and a bunch of keys hanging from his belt. Chen Xuan's wife, on the other hand, is a stereotypical teacher, dressed fashionably but still exuding a teacher's aura. As for Chen Xuan's son, he's the kind of top student who, given three choices, writes "D" so that other students copying his homework would also be able to do so.
Su Zhou smiled slightly and immediately spotted her grandparents. The two elderly people were waiting for the freshly baked pizza. They were very tolerant of food and could happily accept dishes such as fried chicken and roast meat.
When elderly people reach this age, they don't have many restrictions or preferences when it comes to food; they can basically eat whatever they want.
As it happened, she hadn't eaten dinner yet either, so she simply grabbed a plate, used tweezers, and picked up some vegetable salad.
"Grandpa and Grandma," Su Zhou called softly.
Since Grandpa and Grandma stayed at Wanling Zoo for a few days, their social skills have exploded. Everyone knows they are Su Zhou's grandparents, so they take good care of them. Even if it weren't for Su Zhou, the two elderly people are very kind and approachable, and are respectable elders.
Grandma turned around and immediately saw the various salads on Su Zhou's plate: purple cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, shredded cabbage, etc.: "Didn't you love meat? You've switched to vegetarian food."
Su Zhou calmly replied, "This is just an appetizer."
The meat in the staff canteen is exactly the same as that of low-grade animal feed. Whenever Su Zhou tastes fresh meat, she feels that the meat is delicious and tender. Taking a bite makes her feel like she is on the grassland chasing after cows. Not only beef, but other types of meat are also incredibly tender.
This is just the beginning.
The high-level feed doesn't have a level yet, mainly because the zoo currently has too few animal species to qualify as an intermediate zoo. It's estimated that more features will be unlocked once the next level is unlocked.
Grandma generously shared the meat from her plate with Su Zhou, and the family sat together like that.
Su Zhou took a sip of grapefruit juice to moisten her throat before saying to them, "The small restaurant is finished. Let's go take a look after we finish eating."
Grandma was taken aback and looked at Grandpa's pale eyebrows: "Are houses being built this fast now?"
Grandpa was also stunned. Everyone here has come from very hard times. Whether in the past or in modern times, it is simply unbelievable and incredible that so many buildings could be constructed in just a few days.
"It's done so quickly?" Grandpa scratched the back of his head, his confidence fading again. "This is too fast. I'm not ready yet."
Su Zhou the devil whispered, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. I have great faith in your skills. We can't open the shop right away. We need to think about the business model and what kind of signboard we should come up with."
Five restaurants were also unlocked. One reason was to alleviate the dining pressure in the zoo, where visitor numbers have stabilized at 50,000 per day after the visitor limit was implemented. The area currently unlocked in the zoo is quite large, and a significant number of people are unable to get a hot meal. The other reason was to allow grandparents to participate more.
At their age, they often worry about whether they will be a burden on their children. Su Zhou specially set aside a small restaurant and handed over the management rights to her grandparents so that they wouldn't have to worry too much. She wanted to give them something to do, and the profit was secondary. Anyway, their family was big and could support her grandparents to run the restaurant. Profit or loss didn't matter.
When Grandpa was young, he ran a wonton shop. The wontons he made had delicious meat filling and soup. People from all around loved to come and have a bite whenever they had a chance. Later, for various reasons, he stopped making them. Su Zhou asked Grandpa the question, while looking at Grandma with her moist and clear almond-shaped eyes.
"I don't know what to call it. I'm old and can't keep up with the times." Grandpa's tone was inexplicably wistful, but he still thought about it seriously for a moment, "How about... we call it Grandma's Little Restaurant?"
Su Zhou was a little distracted.
She thought of the names of the restaurants on a famous food delivery app, each with its own unique style and flair. When she came to her senses, she found her grandfather looking at her expectantly. "Okay, this is good. You don't know how many young people in society these days crave home-cooked meals. There are too many pre-made dishes, they're heavy on oil and salt, and they're not cheap at all. I think this is reliable. Grandpa and Grandma, you can go ahead and make it."
With his granddaughter's approval, the grandfather smiled, and the grandmother looked at him tenderly.
After the meal, Su Zhou took her grandparents to the small restaurant.
The location was quite remote. Given the current number of visitors to the zoo, even if the cafeteria cooks made the food terrible, the starving visitors would still be able to eat it. Besides, Grandpa and Grandma's cooking skills were quite good. In order to make things less tiring for the two of them, Su Zhou chose a remote location.
Outside the door is a garden, enclosed by a fence. The wooden building glows with warm yellow light at night. Climbing a few steps and parting the pure white curtain, you can even smell the pleasant scent of wood. The tableware, chairs, and exterior of this small restaurant are all made of wood. Visitors discover a hidden secret once they enter the interior.
The social anxiety zone is separated by a small curtain, and there is also a special area for couples and groups of people. People with different personalities do not interact with each other, but you can still feel the warmth in the construction of the small restaurant.
Grandpa and Grandma loved it. The older generation has a special fondness for wood, and now there's a special wooden fairytale-style restaurant just for them. Who wouldn't be tempted?
"The kitchen is over here, and this is the food preparation area. It won't interfere with your cooking. You see, there's a temperature control system here that can regulate the temperature throughout the restaurant, so you'll be very comfortable cooking here. Look, this is the stove you're familiar with, and these are the other fires." Su Zhou glanced around casually. She knew absolutely nothing about the kitchen; she hadn't inherited any of her father's abilities. He could manage to cook simple meals to fill her stomach, but he couldn't cook anything delicious. Even now, all she knew how to do was roll out the dumpling wrappers; she had no idea how to actually wrap them.
