Chapter 82
"It was just pretending?" the keeper asked with a broken face. He'd finally lost his love for the panda. He was going to report it to the central government! He was going to be transferred to a panda care facility.
"Of course." The veterinarian lady had seen through it long ago and answered him nonchalantly.
Things became much easier after knowing the reason. The veterinarian went to feed the snack to Wang Niu as well. Wang Niu pretended much better than Tiger. She first walked to the snack weakly, then lay down and picked up the snack as if she had no strength left. She wanted to continue pretending, but maybe the snack tasted better and better the more she chewed it, so Wang Niu forgot about the disguise, and her face became brighter and brighter. In contrast, the face of its keeper became darker and darker.
Not until Wang Niu finished eating did it change its previous listless appearance and become full of energy. From a distance, it heard its keeper shouting, "Wang Erniu, you little bastard, how dare you pretend to be sick." It was frightened and ran away from a distance to prevent the keeper from catching it.
Wang Niu was named by her keeper. His surname was Wang and she always called her Hu Niu when she was a child, so she was later called Wang Niu. He raised Hu Niu by himself and has been raising her since she was born, so she is very afraid of him getting angry.
The animals hadn't been put back into their cages yet, and the keeper had no way of disciplining Taige and Wang Niu. So, he turned around and picked up the few snacks. "This stuff is really delicious! They're not small animals that lack food, so why are they so obsessed with pet snacks?"
"I investigated this store and found that the snacks they sell are indeed popular with pets. That's why they became the top-selling store in Pingshi within just a few months." The veterinarian visited Lin Gui's store and introduced it to her colleagues with reasoned evidence.
"What should we do now? We can't feed snacks to the animals in the zoo. Each one is only the size of a palm, and Tiger has to eat hundreds of them a day." Tiger's keeper said worriedly.
"Of course, we still feed them raw meat at the moment. I've tested this snack before and found that it contains a high content of nutrients. I guess it's made from high-quality dried meat. The success of this store is indeed due to its merits." The veterinarian didn't finish her words but said that she saw other good products recommended by the store and planned to test them all to see which products would be more suitable for feeding small animals.
Now the small animals in the zoo also need to be given some novelty, otherwise they will always be confined to this square place. Take the tigers for example, the zoo has tried its best to provide them with a relatively large area, as well as rockery and other environments that simulate nature, but compared to tigers in the wild, this place is not enough even if it is ten times the size.
It was because of this emergency that the veterinarian thought about whether she could give the little animals some satisfaction and novelty to make them less averse to this place. This would greatly reduce the occurrence of stereotypes among the animals in the zoo. Moreover, if this snack is nutritious, it would be good for the health of the animals to give it as a snack.
So Lin Gui received this call. After the zoo's veterinarian checked all the products in Lin Gui's store, they found that some of them were of very good quality, such as animal nutritional milk, which was much more nutritious than the milk fed to the cubs in their zoo. After discovering this, they immediately purchased a batch of replacements.
Now I am discussing the bulk purchase with Lin Gui.
Lin Gui was sitting in the coffee shop when two people from the zoo came across. One was the person in charge of purchasing who was on the phone, and the other was the veterinarian. After confirming from 009 that these snacks would not be found to be products from this world, Lin Gui spoke with the purchasing manager with confidence.
"What we want here is to make some enlarged versions of snacks. As you know, we have some small animals with big appetites." The person in charge talked to Lin Gui with a smile on his face.
"Can we do it?" Lin Gui communicated with 009 in his mind while listening.
"Yes!!!" After receiving 009's affirmative answer, Lin Gui agreed to the zoo's request with a smile on her face. Jokingly, even if 009 said no, she would set up a processing factory and sew the snacks together by herself.
The talks with the purchasing department went smoothly. All the contracts were ready and they were just waiting to be signed. Then the head of the purchasing department introduced the veterinarian to Lin Gui and said, "This is the veterinarian and researcher at our zoo. She would like to ask you some questions about snacks. I will not disturb you any further." After that, she retreated gracefully. Lin Gui watched the head of the department retreat, leaving the two of them staring at each other.
The veterinarian at the zoo looked like a highly educated intellectual. She wore a white shirt and a pair of rimless myopic glasses, and there were dark marks under her eyes from staying up late.
Lin Gui, who had average academic performance and had little contact with researchers, sat there trembling with fear, afraid that the researcher would ask some scientific questions that would reveal flaws. You know, the system doesn't allow anyone to tell anyone about it.
"Hello, Miss Lin. My last name is Xu. You can just call me Xiao Xu. May I ask you some questions about the recipe of snacks?" Veterinarian Xu looked at Lin Gui with a smile, and there was a light in his eyes that wanted to discover a new world.
Lin Gui thought to himself: 009, get ready, it's time to face the enemy, but he appeared calm and said, "Hello, Teacher Xu, of course this is possible. Anyway, you won't sell it to others, right?" He also made a joke.
"That's great. I'd like to ask where the meat in your shop is sourced from. I've tested it and it has a high nutritional value. I'd like to see if it's suitable for feeding directly to small animals."
Lin Gui followed 009's advice and replied, "Most of this meat comes from relatively good breeding bases. For example, most of the beef is yak meat from grasslands or other varieties of beef. The cost is relatively high, so the nutritional value is also high."
Teacher Xu must have believed this, because people in their line of work certainly know that the meat in some bases is of very high value, but ordinary people don’t have it and don’t need to buy it. The cost is too high, and it is impossible to feed it to the small animals in the zoo. They can only buy some snacks to satisfy their appetite.
"Then the profit of your store should be relatively small, as the cost of this product is quite high." Teacher Xu asked casually.
Lin Gui replied: "The cost is indeed high, but I also hope to do more for small animals like cats and dogs in the city."
Teacher Xu couldn't help but nodded when she heard these words. She was engaged in this industry because she liked small animals. She has been studying animal psychology, hoping to understand what the small animals want and what problems they have from their expressions and actions so that they can be solved more easily.
Then Teacher Xu also asked Lin Gui some questions about animal nutrition milk. This milk is really the best milk she has ever seen that is suitable for animals' physiques.
Lin Gui also revealed what 009 had given her. Because many other nutritional supplements were added to the animal milk, and the quality of the cows that produced the milk was very good, it was rich in nutrition and tasted good, and the cubs would like it.
After saying everything she could, Teacher Xu stopped pestering Lin Gui with questions. Her homepage was not about researching animal food, she was just curious about why the snacks in Lin Gui's shop were so popular.
Finally, she got through it. Lin Gui was exhausted. She always had to be careful when chatting with people with high IQs, for fear of saying things that should not be said.
"Host, you don't have to be afraid. On the other hand, it's not impossible to replicate the snacks in the store. It's just a matter of the recipe and ingredients. Every time you make the snacks in front of the store, aren't they also fought over by cats and dogs?"
"Knowing is one thing, and saying it out loud is another. After all, I know there is something fishy here. It's too difficult for me to lie without changing my expression or heartbeat. Let me practice for a few more years." Lin Gui said.
In fact, she also knows that everything can be made. When Lin Gui uploaded the production method on the video account before, it’s not that no one copied it, but it was too complicated and required high ingredients, so everyone basically came to the store to buy it.
It’s good that she passed this hurdle. If someone asks about the characteristics of the snacks in the future, Lin Gui will have the experience to deal with it.
Two days later, Lin Gui successfully signed a contract with the Heping City Zoo to provide super-sized snacks. The contract required Lin Gui to provide after-meal desserts for cats, dogs and all carnivores.
Finally, after discussion, the zoo chose enlarged versions of eight snacks, including flavored beef, animal nutrition milk, carrot rings, and deer meat strips. These snacks are not canned or juiced, making it easier for the system to enlarge them.
With this big order, Lin Gui's experience bar for reaching level 15 is almost full. The only thing left can be reached within two or three days. It's really great.
009 was also very happy. This was a great opportunity to come into contact with small animals of other species. Before, it was not capable enough, so it could only save the pet world. This time, its territory suddenly expanded to the animal world.
Because of excitement, 009 only charged Lin Gui 50% of her points for processing and courier fees. After completing this big order, Lin Gui was still smiling and waiting for the large amount of points to be credited to her account. However, 009 wanted to take half of them at once. Lin Gui was furious for a while, but finally gave in. After all, these were free points in another sense. She didn't do anything, but the order came. If she really counted it, she would have to thank the opportunity card she got from the mysterious box before.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, as Lin Gui expected. Two days later, he successfully reached level 15.
