Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 53 A Day Trip to the Zoo
"When you're drunk, you have to be sent back by your buddies. You should be thrown into the alley so that you can get sober."

Yang Yukun drank a small cup from a bottle of Niu Er, and Han Chunming drank the rest.

Holding him and muttering for a long time, he had to send him off when he was drunk, Yang Yukun really had the urge to throw this girl into the alley.

But he didn't do it in the end.

The weather is still relatively cold now, if I really throw this girl in the alley, I will have to eat in the courtyard tomorrow.

If it was summer, he would have to throw it out.

"Aunt Han, I'll be back first, call me if you need anything."

"Xiao Kun, I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Wu is drunk and you have to send him back."

"fine."

Carrying Han Chunming back to the next door, Yang Yukun tidied up after returning home, and then plunged into the portable planting space.

the next morning.

When Yang Yukun opened the door, he saw Han Chunming squatting in front of his house and patting his head with his hands.

"Yo, little fifth brother, are you sober?"

"I haven't fully woken up yet, my head still hurts, Xiaokun, thank you, I listened to my buddies nagging for so long last night."

"Little Fifth Brother, listen to my advice, let him pass on the past, we have to look forward."

"You're right, let's go, my buddy treats you to breakfast, let's go to the restaurant and eat siu mai together."

"Do you mind if I bring two more people?"

"Why don't you just take your baby-kissed little daughter-in-law with you?"

"Thank you, Brother Fifth, just wait for me."

Yang Yukun went back to the house and changed his shoes, hung his schoolbag on the bicycle faucet, and pushed the bicycle out of the house.

He promised Xu Jingtian that he would take her to the Imperial Capital Zoo today.

He was planning to go out to the alley next door to ask Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian to have breakfast, and then set off for the zoo.

Han Chunming said that he would go to the same restaurant as a treat, and he could save money for this breakfast again.

"Go and call your baby to kiss your daughter-in-law, buddy is waiting for you here."

"Got it."

"Come on, buddy, I have something to do later."

"Row."

The two came out of the courtyard together, Yang Yukun went to the next alley to call Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian, and Han Chunming waited for them at the entrance of the alley.

Not long after, Yang Yukun arrived at Xu Jingping's house.

Today I'm going to the zoo to play, Xu Jingtian got up early.

When Yang Yukun came over, the two sisters had packed up and were waiting for him at home.

"Second brother-in-law, you are here!"

"That's right, I didn't sleep in late today, it's worthy of praise."

"whee……."

"This girl ran to my room and woke me up before dawn. I'm really convinced."

Xu Jingping yawned.

She was still dreaming, so Xu Jingtian rushed to her room and forcibly pulled her out of her sleep.

"Hee hee... Second Sister, the plan for a day lies in the morning, and the plan for a year lies in the spring. It's not good to sleep late."

"Xu Jingtian, if you come to my room and disturb my sleep before dawn, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Second sister, don't be angry, second brother-in-law, let's go."

"Little Fifth Brother said that we should go to a restaurant in the capital for breakfast, let's go."

"Yang Yukun, camera."

Xu Jingping handed the camera to Yang Yukun and asked him to take it with him.

"Jing Tian, ​​do you drive with your second sister, or with me?"

"Second brother-in-law, take me with you."

"boarding."

"okay."

Three people couldn't fit on one bicycle, so Xu Jingping borrowed her eldest sister's bicycle.

The three of them first went to the Hutong entrance to meet Han Chunming, and then went to a Shaomai restaurant in Duyi on Qianmen Street together.

…………

The Imperial Capital Zoo, located on Xizhimenwai Street, was built in the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. It is the zoo that opened the earliest in the Xia Kingdom and has the largest variety of animals on display.

Next to it is the Imperial Capital Exhibition Hall, and Lao Mo Restaurant, which holds a high status in the eyes of the stubborn owners of the Forty-Nine City.

After breakfast at a Shaomai restaurant in the capital, Han Chunming went to the hardware factory to find Li Chengtao, and Yang Yukun and the others went straight to the Imperial Capital Zoo.

The predecessor of this place was the agricultural experiment field of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty. The original intention was to learn from the advanced experience of the West, open up the atmosphere, and revitalize agriculture.

At that time, the zoo was only attached, occupying only 71 hectares of the [-]-hectare agricultural experiment field. At first, the exhibits were Duanfang, the Minister of Nanyang and Governor of Liangjiang, some animals bought back from Germany, and animals presented to the Qing government by governors from all over the country.

After [-], the place was renamed Xijiao Park, and in [-] it was renamed Liandidu Zoo.

"Jingtian, stand here and take a picture of you as a souvenir."

"Look at the camera."

"Don't be so serious, just smile."

"whee……."

"Crack."

"Xu Jingping, you two sisters, take a group photo together here."

"Crack."

At the gate of the Imperial Capital Zoo, Yang Yukun took a few photos of Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian, and Xu Jingping also took two photos of him.

"Come on, let's go in."

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, look quickly, elephant!"

"Second brother-in-law, what is that?"

"That's a rhino."

"Why does it only have one horn?"

"It's not its horn, it's a callus on its mouth."

"Second brother-in-law, you are lying. This is clearly its horn. Is this the legendary unicorn?"

"Yes."

"Second brother-in-law, what is that, is it a deer?"

"Yes, that's an elk."

"What about that?"

"That's called an emu, and it's the second largest bird in the world, after the African ostrich, so it's also called the Australian ostrich."

"It's so fat, can it fly?"

"Can't fly."

"why?"

"Because it's too fat."

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, look quickly, it's a white bear."

"Yes, it's a white bear, also called a polar bear."

"lion!"

"It's a cougar."

"Wow, what a cute giant panda, second sister, second brother-in-law, look at it, it's really cute."

"This is the ancient god beast Iron Eater, Chi You's mount. According to legend, in ancient times, Chi You rode it to conquer the north and south."

"Second brother-in-law, is it true?"

"Of course it's true. When did the second brother-in-law lie to you?"

"Yang Yukun, just make it up."

These words can also coax a child like Xu Jingtian who doesn't understand anything, Xu Jingping doesn't believe a word.

How could this thing be Chi You's mount? It was absolutely impossible.

"Xu Jingping, you stand here, I'll take a picture of you."

Yang Yukun raised his camera and took a photo of Xu Jingping with the giant panda.

Regarding the fact that the giant panda is Chi You's mount, Yang Yukun learned about it when he was writing jokes in his previous life.

As for whether Chi You rode a giant panda to conquer the north and south in ancient times, no one can say for sure.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, I'm hungry."

"Aren't you hungry? Let's go. The second brother-in-law will take you to Lao Mo for a big meal."

Yang Yukun checked the time, and it was 11:30 noon, and it was time for lunch.

The three of them came out of the zoo and went straight to Lao Mo's restaurant on the other side of the exhibition hall.
