I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 388 Dining at Panda Restaurant
The waiter smiled again and said, "The director’s potatoes are extremely precious! That’s why we only prepare a certain number of dishes each day, and once they’re sold out, that’s it."
The Tang family was all stunned!
It was the first time they had heard of potatoes being sold for so much more than meat, and even being limited in sales, the director truly didn’t seem to be acting like a normal person.
It wasn’t that Fang Ye was not behaving like a normal person, he was simply conducting a small-scale experiment in his yard to see the effects of growing vegetables in spiritual soil and with spiritual water.
The potatoes that came out of such a cultivation were utterly ridiculous, they could even be called magical beans.
A normal string of potatoes could never yield so many, each one full-shaped and gleaming with a pale golden luster.
When later buying a farm for vegetable cultivation, the land area would increase by hundreds of times, and the quantity of spiritual soil would be too little to cover the entire area lavishly as in the yard.

They would only mix a little into each plot, and it would not be possible to run to the farm every day to mix spiritual water into it, then the organic vegetables and fruits that would be grown could be sold at a normal price.
The waiter didn’t need to recommend it, as they were very confident in the director’s potatoes.
Initially, a few curious tourists wanted to try one out to see what it tasted like.
They hadn’t expected to become addicted the moment they tasted it, and they ended up ordering several more dishes in succession.
Seeing them enjoy their meal so much, the tourists nearby, attracted by the delicious smell, couldn’t help but start ordering as well!
These dining tourists were the best advertisement.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Father Tang made a decision, "Let’s order two dishes to try."
Although it was a bit pricey, it wasn’t unaffordable! Your journey continues on novelbuddy
Rare occasions such as being off work and going out to have fun made a good meal worth it.
Seeing how deliciously the others ate, they couldn’t all be shills, right?
Moreover, tourists who had visited the zoo had a quite good impression of the director, Fang Ye.
The zoo was continuously expanding, the environment was so beautiful, and aside from the initial increase in ticket price from 10 to 30 yuan, there hadn’t been any price hike since then.
Father Tang ordered a dish of shredded potatoes, potato balls, and he also ordered a dish of braised bamboo shoots and bamboo shoot ribs soup.
The bamboo shoots were a special dish at the Panda Restaurant. Eating bamboo shoots while watching pandas offered a sense of experiencing the life of a panda, which was quite interesting.
The dishes of green pepper shredded potato and braised bamboo shoots were quickly served up!
"Wow..."
The aroma emanating from their own table was even clearer than what wafted over from others’ tables.
Smelling the extremely tempting fragrance and looking at the beautiful golden potato shreds and the emerald green pepper strips, Xiaoxin couldn’t help but let her stomach "gurgle" embarrassingly loud, and her saliva secreted crazily.
Three pairs of chopsticks reached for the shredded potatoes at the same time!
Taking a bite, a refreshing and clear taste reminiscent of a sunny day after rain blossomed on the tip of her tongue.
Xiaoxin couldn’t help but squint her eyes in delight, her face revealing an intoxicated smile.
She finally understood why the diners nearby had such an expression, and why the waiter described it as "wonderful"!
The taste was indeed marvelous!
After one bite, the three pairs of chopsticks reached for the shredded potatoes again at the same time!
With several dishes laid out in front of them, usually one would take a bite of this and then switch to another.
Only eating one dish without even caring to try another indicated that it matched their taste incredibly well and was too delicious!
In less than two minutes, a plate of shredded potatoes had been completely devoured.
Xiaoxin reached out for more with her chopsticks subconsciously, only to suddenly realize the plate was empty. She looked up in astonishment to find her parents wearing the same surprised and puzzled expressions.
Everyone started to jokingly complain, "Are we eating too fast?"
"How can it be this delicious?"
"It’s not that we’re eating quickly, the portion sizes are just too small!"
Tang Xiaoxin picked up another piece of braised bamboo shoots, chewed it, and couldn’t help but look a bit disappointed.
Although it was quite tasty, it lacked that potato sensation!
It was strange, she couldn’t quite pinpoint the difference.
Father Tang felt it the most vividly!
As a programmer often facing bugs after hours of overtime, sitting in front of a computer clicking and typing, his arms and wrists would be sore, and his neck, spine, and lower back would feel terribly uncomfortable.
That’s why he would sometimes get a massage, the kind with a masseuse who applied firm pressure, popping and kneading the life back into rigid muscles and fascia. It was painfully grimacing during the process but blissfully soothing afterwards.
When he had the green pepper and potato shreds just now, it felt as if he shed a layer of shackles, akin to that post-massage feeling—refreshed and invigorated, even his spirit felt lighter and more animated.
Then came the potato balls!
Freshly fried potato balls, golden and crispy on the outside, small and exquisite.
You could see the bright green chives peeking out, with wisps of steam still rising.
There was also a dish of sweet and sour sauce on the side! You could eat the balls on their own or dip them in the sauce.
"Wow, aren’t these balls too few?"
While complaining, Tang Xiaoxin eagerly grabbed one, dipped the potato ball into the sauce, adding a rich red hue to the golden crust.
She bit down, and a crisp "crack" resonated, the first sensation being crunchiness!
"Huo~Huo~"
The balls were still hot from the fryer, and she inhaled sharply twice, her mouth scalded!
But she couldn’t bear to spit it out; instead, she felt an explosion of rich flavor burst in her mouth, still inhaling and chewing, her entire mouth fragrant.
The potato balls with the dipping sauce offered a crunchy savoriness with an appetizing sweet and sour taste.
After finishing one, Father Tang couldn’t help but close his eyes, savoring for a moment before exclaiming in admiration, "Delicious, truly delicious."
Then he became puzzled, lost in thought: "What kind of potatoes are these? Even organic potatoes can’t taste this good... How were they grown... Could it be some special variety..."
Enjoying the mouthful of delicious flavor, Tang Xiaoxin chewed on another, her words muffled, "Well, Brother Fang Ye is an Archdruid, how could the vegetables he grows not taste amazing!"
Mother Tang picked up another one and said with a smile, "Stop thinking about it, just eat. If you don’t hurry, there won’t be any left!"
Father Tang snapped out of it, "Hey, don’t eat so fast, save some for me!"
The plate of potato balls was quickly emptied as well.
Looking at the two empty plates, Father Tang couldn’t help but suggest, "Shall we order another one?"
Tang Xiaoxin also really wanted to eat more, but she still advised, "Let’s not, we still have two dishes left. Don’t waste food!"
She ladled a bowl of bamboo shoot soup, blew on it gently, sipped the soup, and admired the view outside the restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling window.
Under the pale blue sky, a few wisps of pristine white clouds drifted lazily, with the sun warm and gentle.
Cloud, leaning against a big tree, stretched her "jiojio" and hugged a bamboo. She snapped the bamboo open and nibbled on it contently, looking relaxed and comfortable. The tender blades of grass swayed with the breeze, and a clear stream meandered across the undulating grassland.
With such a view, smiles spontaneously appeared on the faces of Tang Xiaoxin’s family, and even the bamboo shoot soup they were sipping seemed to taste fresher and more flavorful.
