Chapter 522

evening.

Hunter camp.

Deng Shirong and others are enjoying delicious bear paws.

Bear paw, as one of the famous eight mountain delicacies, was a delicacy for nobles and royal families in ancient times. Its taste is naturally delicious.

Although there is a saying in later generations that bear paws are not as good as pig's trotters in texture and taste, this saying is just for fun. Do you really think that the royal nobles in ancient times who ate all over the world were fools? If someone says that the texture and taste are not as good as pig's trotters, then there is only one possibility - the chef's skills are not good enough.

Ingredients and chefs complement each other. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even the best chef cannot make truly delicious dishes without good ingredients. And vice versa. No matter how good the ingredients are, they will be wasted without a good chef to prepare them.

Nowadays, the ingredients are fresh wild bear paws, and the chef is a master chef with rich experience. The bear paws prepared by them are far superior to those of mere pig trotters.

However, no matter how delicious the food is, people can only taste it a little.

After all, a bear has only two paws. Even if people don't eat only the right paw and not the left paw as in ancient times, the portion is extremely limited. If so many people share it, each person can only taste it a little. It is impossible to eat it to their heart's content.

In addition to bear paws, there are many kinds of game on the table. The thing that is most in short supply in this hunting ground is game.

Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting. After getting to know Deng Shirong, Liu Sancai, Chu Junsheng, Tang Yun and others found that Grandpa Deng's knowledge was really broad. From my country's formal accession to the WTO this year, to the Varyag which finally returned to the embrace of the motherland after going through hardships, to the World Cup that ended last month, Deng Shirong could talk to everyone about everything.

In short, there is no topic that Grandpa Deng cannot handle.

At this time, Liu Sancai, Chu Junsheng and others were enthusiastically talking about the Football World Cup that ended last month.

This year's World Cup is the first time in the history of the Chinese national football team that it has entered the World Cup. This is a great encouragement for football fans in our country.

Chu Junsheng said with a look of regret: "In this World Cup, our luck in grouping was really bad. We were placed in the same group with the champion and the third place. There was also Costa Rica, which was able to tie with Turkey. This was definitely a death group. It was not unfair for us to lose!"

Liu Sancai said: "It is true that the loss was not unfair. It is said that after receiving the group list, our Chinese team gave up and set a step-by-step goal of "score a goal, accumulate a point, and win a game". As long as we can achieve this goal, it will be an honor in defeat.

Unfortunately, in three games, our Chinese team did not score a single goal and conceded nine goals, and was eliminated from the group stage with three losses.”

Lin Wenbin sighed: "There is nothing we can do. Our opponents are too strong. We can only keep working hard and wait for the next World Cup to create more glory."

Deng Shirong sighed inwardly after hearing this. Although he was not very interested in football, he read a wide variety of novels. He had read all kinds of online novels. Although he had not read many sports novels, he had read novels about football, basketball, table tennis, track and field, boxing, etc.

It is clear that this year the Chinese national football team entered the World Cup for the first time. Although it was eventually eliminated with three losses and no goals scored, even such a disappointing result is the peak that the Chinese national football team can achieve.

Yes, what the Chinese people thought was the low point at this time was actually the peak of the national football team.

Until later generations, the Chinese national football team never had the opportunity to enter the World Cup again.

Moreover, the more time went by, the more disappointing the Chinese national football team became. There were countless jokes about the national football team on the Internet. The national football team of later generations has long become a foot binding for an old lady. Deng Shirong did not see the day when the national football team would turn around in his previous life, and he probably will not see it in this life either.

He did not remind Liu Sancai and the others, so let them dream for a few more years! ...

morning.

Harbin.

Father Liu was concentrating on his work when suddenly the cell phone hanging on his belt rang. He took out the phone and saw that it was a call from his son Liu Sancai. He couldn't help but perk up and answered the call.

The father and son greeted each other, and Liu Sancai said, "Dad, we are going back to Harbin now."

Father Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "Son, tell Grandpa Deng and your friends that I will treat everyone to dinner this afternoon."

Liu Sancai said: "Okay, I'll tell them later."

Father Liu said, "Well, drive carefully, and come back and tell me if you have anything to say."

Liu Sancai said: "I understand. I'm going to hang up now!"

Father Liu hummed, and after the call was hung up, he called his secretary in and instructed, "Go to Hongda Old Restaurant this afternoon and book a private room. Ask the chef to prepare some of his signature Northeastern dishes. I want to entertain our distinguished guests from out of town."

The secretary nodded and said, "Okay, leader."

…

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Hongda Old Restaurant.

Liu's father and Deng Shirong and his group finally met, and they introduced themselves to each other and greeted each other without mentioning it.

After everyone entered the private room, the waiters who had been prepared began to serve the dishes.

This Hongda Old Restaurant is famous for its exquisite Northeastern cuisine and good environment. If Deng Shirong and others were living in Harbin for a long time, Liu's father would definitely treat them to authentic hometown dishes. However, since they are here for tourism, the treat would naturally be mainly Northeastern cuisine or Harbin's local specialties.

Although, during the three days at the hunting ground, Deng Shirong and others had already eaten a lot of Northeastern dishes.

But there are many varieties of Northeastern cuisine, and it is definitely not possible to eat all of them in just three or four days. There are still many dishes they have not tried.

For example, the very famous pork stewed with vermicelli, Deng Shirong and others have not eaten it in the past few days.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liu's father finally opened up and said, "Mr. Deng, when you come to Harbin, you must go to the Siberian Tiger Park. Due to years of hunting and destruction of the Siberian tiger's ecological environment, there are not many Siberian tigers left.

In the 1980s, a survey conducted by research departments showed that there were only more than 100 wild Siberian tigers in my country, and no more than 400 in the world.

It can be said that the Siberian tiger is facing the risk of extinction, and the environment in which they live continues to deteriorate. If no measures are taken to save it, the Siberian tiger may completely disappear from this world.

This Siberian Tiger Park is responsible for saving the Siberian tiger. Currently, there are more than 170 Siberian tigers in the park. "

Deng Shirong thought for a moment and asked, "Are the Siberian tigers in this Tiger Forest Park still wild?"

Captive tigers and wild tigers are completely different concepts. He had seen captive tigers in parks in later years, but those tigers had lost their wildness and looked like cats. There was no sense of tiger power at all.

When he was young, he had confronted a wild tiger, which was a tiger with real power. This was also the reason why no one dared to open fire even though there were three or four of them at the time. Maybe people would laugh at him if he said it out loud, but only by facing the tiger in real life could he know that the deterrent power of the king of beasts was not exaggerated.

Father Liu sighed and said, "To be honest with you, Mr. Deng, although Tiger Forest Park has never forgotten to train these Siberian tigers to be wild, the results are not ideal. There are many reasons for this, and the most important one is that there is no place in my country that is suitable for releasing tigers into the wild.

In some of the historical distribution areas of the Siberian tiger, such as Wandashan, Lesser Khingan Range and Greater Khingan Range, the tiger's prey, red deer, roe deer and wild boar, are now very scarce in number.

If tigers were released into these areas, there would be only three possible outcomes:

1. The tiger starved to death.

Second, tigers enter villages and eat livestock and injure people.

3. The tigers immigrated to become Russian tigers.

In fact, if the ecological environment in these places is restored, we don’t need to release captive tigers into the wild, the purebred wild Siberian tigers from Russia will come here on their own.”

Deng Shirong expressed his understanding and said: "I understand what you said. The living environment of tigers is indeed extremely important. Take our Bobai County as an example. In the 1950s, the ecological environment of our county had not been damaged and there were still a lot of tigers.

Not to mention the distant past, in 1953 alone, 25 tigers were killed in our county. This shows that the ecological environment of our county at that time was indeed good, otherwise there would be no way to support so many wild tigers.

However, the large-scale killing of tigers throughout the county, coupled with the cutting of hundreds of thousands of acres of forest during the Great Steel Production Campaign in 1958, caused devastating damage to the tigers' living environment. Tigers have become extinct in our county since then.

The tigers’ living environment has not been restored, so it is a bit unreasonable to talk about wild training.”

Father Liu said, "Mr. Deng, it's good that you understand. Although the Siberian tigers in the Tiger Forest Park have not made much progress in wild training, the tigers here are slightly stronger than the captive tigers in zoos in other provinces and cities. It's still worth going to see."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Okay, it's a rare opportunity to come here, so let's go to Hulin Park tomorrow."

Father Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Deng, I will go to Hulin Park with you tomorrow morning."

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "You are busy with work, so there is no need for you to accompany us in person. Just let your Xiao Liu accompany us."

Seeing this, Liu's father did not force his son and told him to take Deng Lao and others to Hulin Park for a good trip tomorrow.

Next, Liu's father opened up and chatted with Deng Shirong about all sorts of things. This time, Liu's father specially invited Deng Shirong and others to dinner, with the purpose of getting acquainted with this big guy, Deng Shirong.

This meal took a full two hours to finish.

After dinner, Liu's father had work to do, so he left first.

After Deng Shirong and others settled in the hotel, they went out for a stroll and tasted Harbin's special snacks and barbecue in the evening before returning to the hotel to take a shower and rest.

The next day.

After breakfast, Deng Shirong and others, led by Liu Sancai, went to visit the Siberian Tiger Park.

Knowing that the Siberian tigers in the Tiger Forest Park had not completed their rewilding training, Deng Shirong did not hold out much hope for them. But when he arrived at the Tiger Forest Park, he saw that they were just as he expected. The power of these Siberian tigers could not be said to be completely absent, but it was far inferior to that of wild tigers.

Although Tiger Forest Park has not done a good job in the wilding of Siberian tigers, it has made certain contributions to the breeding of Siberian tigers. At least the number of Siberian tigers has been increasing. So after Deng Shirong toured the park for half a day, he asked Liu Sancai to call out the person in charge of Tiger Forest Park and made a small donation to the park.

In fact, many people from all walks of life have begun to adopt Siberian tigers. Deng Shirong could have done the same, but he found it too troublesome and simply donated money.

The person in charge of the Tiger Forest Park was also a sensible person. After receiving the donation, he asked someone to bring several jars of tiger bone wine to Deng Shirong.

In the past, even the wineries in Bobai County had tiger bone wine for sale. Although the price was not cheap, even a winery in a county town sold it. Looking across the country, tiger bone wine was abundant and it was not rare.

But in the 1970s, after the country issued a ban on the killing of tigers, the amount of tiger bone wine suddenly decreased and the price soared rapidly.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without buying and selling. In order to prevent illegal traders from poaching tigers, the country directly banned the sale of tiger bone wine in the 1990s, making tiger bone wine disappear from the market.

Of course, although it cannot be bought and sold openly, the underground trade in tiger bone wine has never stopped.

However, no matter what, the country's ban on hunting and the sale of tiger bone wine has protected tigers to a certain extent.

There may not be tiger bone wine in other places, but Tiger Forest Park raises so many tigers, and naturally they will grow old, get sick and die, so there is definitely no shortage of tiger bone wine.

In fact, tiger bone wine is one of the very important sources of income for Tiger Forest Park.

Nowadays, Deng Shirong donates hundreds of thousands of yuan at a time, so it is normal for the person in charge to give him a few jars of tiger bone wine.

…

Deng Shirong and others stayed in Harbin for a total of three days. The Xie family had been paying attention to them and naturally knew the news first.

Xie Xiaosong's father wanted to invite Deng Shirong to dinner to see if he could ease the relationship between Deng Shirong and his in-laws.

As a result, after Liu's father relayed the message to Deng Shirong, Deng Shirong had no intention of meeting the other party. He just said that the matter ended here and he would not investigate further, but would not revoke the previous punishment decision.

In fact, Xie's father was mentally prepared for this result. Seeing that things could not be changed, he decided not to get involved anymore.

Although the Feng family is his in-laws, Deng Shirong is not someone he can afford to offend.

Besides, Inspector Xie only asked Liu's father to pass on a message because of their in-law relationship, and he actually had no intention of actually doing his best to help.

Deng Shirong and others stayed in Harbin for three days, and then they began to go their separate ways.

The two siblings, Chu Junsheng and Chu Junyao, naturally had to fly back to Beijing, Yang Huijuan returned to Zhejiang, Jiang Mo returned to Hubei, Liu Jingjing returned to Sichuan, while Deng Shirong and his grandchildren and Tang Yun flew back to Guangxi together.

When everyone arrived at the airport, Liu Sancai, Lin Wenbin and Zhao Dagang naturally came to see them off.

In fact, Liu's father originally wanted to come and see him off in person, but was declined by Deng Shirong. In addition, his son was also there, so he did not force him.

"Grandpa Deng, winter in Harbin is also very fun, especially the Ice and Snow World that was opened in the past two years. It is really beautiful. If you are interested, you can come to Harbin to play in winter."

"Grandpa Deng, what Lao Liu said is true. When I came here to play last year, the Ice and Snow World really opened my eyes. It is indeed beautiful."

"Okay, our county is considered the southern part of the south, and it has never snowed, let alone seen any snow scenery. Even you, Xiao Chu, who deals with ice and snow every year, say it is beautiful. If there is a chance, I really have to come and see how beautiful this world of ice and snow is."

"Haha, Grandpa Deng, if you come, please call me in advance."

"Well, Xiao Liu, Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhao, we will have a chance to meet again!"

"Goodbye, Grandpa Deng!"
