My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 373 Fixing the elephant's teeth!
Repairing ivory may seem simple, but it is actually a difficult craft.

Because the focus is on repairs, not the rude and simple extraction of ivory by poachers who disregard the lives of elephants.

Li Xiao calmly took out a measuring tape from his trouser pocket.

Then he took a measuring tape and measured the ivory.

This is the first step. It is necessary to calculate the position of the hollow inside the ivory. If you accidentally saw too much, it will not only fail to help the elephant, but even threaten the life of the elephant.

When the distance is calculated, you can use a hand saw to saw off the excess ivory.

Because it is a hand saw and the ivory is relatively hard, the whole process is a bit slow.

Reba and the little sheep Zhang Yixing held their breath and kept saying more words, lest they disturb the elephant.

Therefore, the only sound that can be heard in the huge elephant park is the slow rustling of the hand saw against the tusks.

Those who didn't know thought Bald Qiang was chopping down trees again.

"I don't know why, but it looks so relaxing."

"I have to say, the head of the park is really brave. If I were to saw the elephant's teeth, I wouldn't dare to saw the elephant's teeth. If I stabbed suddenly, a hole would be poked in my body."

"I have a question, if it's an elephant in the wild, who will fix their teeth?"

"Nonsense! Of course it's a savage!"

"Do wildlings have handsaws?"

"Beasts don't have hand saws, but wild men have machetes."

"Don't fool the honest people one by one. In fact, elephants in the wild will use ivory because they fight from time to time and have to migrate to open the way. Naturally, the degree of wear and tear is much greater, and there is no need for special repairs by humans. .”

"Understood! Just like a kitten in the wild, it will sharpen its claws by itself!"

The tourists in the live broadcast room watched intently while discussing enthusiastically.

It is also the first time for most of them to see the repair of ivory, so they are inevitably curious.

And at this moment, Li Xiao finally sawed off an ivory.

Immediately afterwards, which was the third step, Li Xiao took out a chisel and a file, and repaired the sharpest end of the ivory to restore it to its original state.

In the last step, take out a knife to clean up the yellowed part of the ivory, which can make the ivory whiter in an instant.

After dealing with all this, Li Xiao continued to repair the other tooth.

After only half an hour, Li Xiao finally helped an elephant repair its teeth.

Elephants whose teeth have been repaired not only look more handsome and beautiful, but also become more convenient when eating.

To thank Li Xiao, the elephant rolled up a banana with its trunk and handed it to Li Xiao.

"Hahaha, you actually know how to share."

Li Xiao took the banana, touched the elephant's head lightly, laughed and said, "It's worth my hard work to fix it for you, it's really good."

Perhaps seeing that Li Xiao repaired the ivory relatively easily and did not anger the elephant, Reba and the little sheep Zhang Yixing both bravely walked in.

Reba even asked: "Director, can we try it?"

"of course can!"

Li Xiao nodded and added: "I will be with you all the time, you don't need to worry or be nervous."

With Li Xiao's words, Reba and the little sheep Zhang Yixing became more courageous, picked up the hand saw, and began to carefully repair the ivory for the second elephant in line.

For them, this is an unprecedented experience.

Even if you go to other zoos, you can't experience it.

Because some zoos don't know how to repair ivory at all.

Because Li Xiao accompanied them all the way, the elephants were also very well-behaved, and they didn't deliberately scare Reba and the little sheep Zhang Yixing during the whole process.

The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

After repairing all the ivory of the queued elephants, it was already noon before we knew it.

The three of Li Xiao waved goodbye to all the elephants, left the elephant park, and started cooking.

During the meal, Reba was still thinking about repairing the ivory for the elephant just now, so he couldn't help asking: "Director, will you sell the ivory we sawed off?"

"of course not!"

Li Xiao explained: "Although repairing ivory is the same as cutting hair for us humans, some girls will cut off their long hair and sell it, but there is still a difference after all.

You know, the ivory trade is illegal.

So I'm going to keep those tusks.

Or treasure it.

Or carve it into the shape of the original elephant and show it to the elephants.

It can be regarded as a special meaning.

In addition, as far as I know, in some African countries, the repaired ivory will be placed in exquisite silverware plates for proper preservation. "

Zhang Yixing, the little sheep, became more confused as he listened, and asked: "Since ivory can be obtained through repairing, why are there so many poachers in the world who ruthlessly kill elephants and then forcibly saw off the ivory?"

"Because it's not long enough!"

Li Xiao sighed, and said, "Those poachers basically want complete ivory, because it is easier to carve it into various works of art, and it can be liked by more rich people.

The tooth that can be repaired is completely different, it is only a little bit, and there is no way to carve it for secondary processing. "

"Too poor!"

Reba felt a little hurt.

Li Xiao also said: "Who says it's not, if someone ruthlessly pulls out your teeth and doesn't consider your feelings, how painful it will be for you.

Ivory powder can be directly used as medicine, which has a good effect on treating bleeding.

Adding some powder to ivory powder can also make cosmetics, which has a whitening effect.

If taken directly, it can also soothe the nerves and help sleeping patients fall asleep, but the dosage must be controlled, otherwise it will definitely be poisoned.

In addition to these, ivory has become a symbol of nobility. In the eyes of some so-called collectors, ivory has the symbol of Nafu and town house.

They even think that ivory is more yang, so it can be placed in places full of yin.

Some people even make ivory into weapons, pistols, etc., to hunt and kill elephants.

Think about how ironic it is to use elephant teeth to make weapons to hunt elephants.

Think about it seriously, if you make your teeth into cosmetics and apply them on your face, or put your teeth at home, will it seep into people, and it will still be a town house and a blessing?Total bullshit and fart, it would be nice not to attract thieves or be haunted by elephant ghosts.

I once saw a little fable story. One morning, a little elephant found that he had finally grown teeth, and happily ran to his mother and said: Mom, I have finally grown teeth, and I can use them to protect you in the future.

But the mother elephant was silent.

The little elephant thought that his mother didn't hear it, so he continued: "Mom, I have teeth!"

Mother Elephant remained silent.

The elephant didn't take it seriously, but continued to talk.

Mother Elephant remained silent.

After repeating this four or five times, the mother elephant finally spoke and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her nose.

She was not moved by the child's words, but sad, and seemed to have seen the child's future.

She said: Child, we are going deeper into the forest, don't be discovered by humans! "

"The director is right. When I was a child, I had a tooth decay in my mouth. It hurt so much that I died and came back to life!"

"I'm too old to hear these things."

"Whoa, I'm about to cry."

"I didn't expect the director to tell the story so affectionately. I admit, I fell in love with this affectionate man."

When Li Xiao finished speaking, the tourists in the live broadcast room were already crying.

Reba's eyes were even more red.

Seeing that the tears were about to fall, the little sheep Zhang Yixing immediately brought a tissue thoughtfully.

Li Xiao thought for a while, then continued: "Besides this little story, there is another one, which is also related to greedy humans.

This story tells that one day in the future, human beings can finally live on a planet with a suitable environment. The United States took the lead in inventing spaceships and plans to send a group of people there.

Before that, the Americans found the aborigines on the land under their feet and told them about it.

He also said that they could write a paragraph to help them take it to an alien planet.

Those aborigines really wrote it, but it was written in the language of the aborigines, and Americans couldn't understand it at all.

When they arrived on the planet with a suitable environment, the Americans discovered that there were also aborigines on that planet, and they started endless fighting and killing.

It so happened that the aborigines on that planet actually understood the language of this group of aborigines on earth, and they translated the content on that piece of paper, as follows: Run!run!run now!They will come to occupy your land, and live here majestically! "

"Fuck! This story is not simple!"

"This wave of ridicule is too much!"

"The director is fine. Although the story is small, it makes my scalp explode!"

"As we all know, the United States has no history, only brutality!"

When the discussion among the tourists in the live broadcast room was in full swing, a staff member hurried over and said, "Director, the animals you bought earlier have been delivered. Sister Tao asked me to ask you to count them."

"So fast? Alright, I'll go right away!"

Li Xiao had already finished eating, got up and wiped his mouth, looked at Reba and the little sheep Zhang Yixing beside him, and said, "Eat first, I'll go and have a look!"

After receiving nods from the two, Li Xiao and the staff member quickly left the cafeteria.

Under the leadership of the staff, Li Xiao rushed towards the gate of the zoo.

A few days ago, Li Xiao bought a total of nine kinds of animals, including common female monkey, baby otter, star-nosed mole, long live big eye crab, peacock mantis shrimp, seal, Pacific barreleye fish, anglerfish, and black bony fish. Know which one is delivered today.

About 100 meters away from the gate of the zoo, Li Xiao saw a group of tourists gathered there.

Is it because the new animals are so rare that they immediately attracted the attention of tourists?
With this doubt in mind, Li Xiao quickly walked over.

As soon as he got close, Li Xiao saw...

King Gigi!

In addition to King Jiji, there are about a dozen ordinary female monkeys who are slender and handsome.

They were bought by Li Xiao.

I don't know where King Jiji got the news, but he took out the monkey park and came here.

Because these ordinary female monkeys are all housed in iron cages, coupled with the bumps along the way and being surrounded by so many people now, they are more or less frightened, and they squeak and scream non-stop.

Some even violently shook the iron cage, trying to escape from it.

But after seeing King Jiji, they immediately fell silent, and turned their heads to look together.

I don't know if I was fascinated by King Gigi's unique kingly temperament or his super high appearance.

And King Gigi is also very satisfied with this feeling.

Standing up like a human, with his hands behind his back, he walked swaggeringly in front of the iron cages, and glanced at the female monkeys in the iron cages from time to time.

This scene is very similar to the ancient emperor choosing a concubine!

All the tourists watching around were amused.

After seeing it, the tourists in the live broadcast room also eased from the sad atmosphere just now, and all laughed.

"I'll go! This is the shining Concubine Xuan!"

"The child is old, please call King Jiji!"

"Hahaha, it deliberately walked upright, causing Tinker Bell to be exposed."

"Oh, it's snowing in Taipei, you said it was poly dragon, ding ding dong, ding ding dong..."

"It's unbelievable that King Gigi's Tinker Bell is bigger than my boyfriend's!"

"Liu Cuifen, don't slander me!!!!"

"King Jiji is more powerful than Kangxi. Kangxi still needs private visits in micro-services to find a beautiful concubine every time, but King Jiji can find it when he stays here."

"As we all know, the real name of "Private Interviews with Kangxi Weifu" is "Kangxi's Pleasures"!"

The tourists in the live broadcast room are more talented than each other.

Li Xiao couldn't help laughing when he saw these bullet screens.

Sudden……

King Jiji locked on to Li Xiao, ran over in a hurry, and started gesticulating with his hands non-stop.

King Jiji: This is the beautiful female monkey you found for this king?Tell me, which one is more beautiful?

Li Xiao frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter? You're not satisfied with any of the dozen female monkeys?"

King Gigi: Satisfied ass!If you want to be tall or not, if you want bloodlines but not bloodlines, if you want good looks but not good looks, do you think of me as the emperor in "The Secret Detective Zero Zero Hair" and give me a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates as concubines!

Li Xiao laughed, and said, "Hehe, you actually know about Master Xing's movie, you've seen it!"

King Jiji: Of course...don't distract me!Change!Quickly replace these female monkeys with me!Buy me another batch!
Li Xiao was very helpless, he suddenly bought so many female monkeys, and they had to return them just after they were delivered.

King Jiji: Can this kind of thing work?I sleep with them at night and I have nightmares!

Li Xiao: "..."

King Gigi: Replace it now or I'll throw away that ugly lizard that was in my house!

Seeing King Jiji scratching his head and furiously, Li Xiao suddenly thought of a variety show.

To put it simply, this variety show is two bald men bringing more than [-] unmarried women to fool a few men who come every time.

Commonly known as: the largest second-hand car trading market in China!
