I have a wildlife zoo

Although Lion Restaurant served Western cuisine, chopsticks were also provided for the customers' convenience to choose how they preferred to eat.

At that moment, Fang Ye picked up a sausage with chopsticks and bit into it, seemingly hearing the crispy "crack" of the sausage's charred skin as it split open!

Most of the sausage was chewy lean meat, with the occasional rich and creamy fat. When he bit into it, a delightful fragrance filled his entire mouth—the first impression was that it was delicious!

Fang Ye chewed slowly with small bites, not because he lacked appetite, but because he wanted to savor the delicious taste.

With each bite, juices and fat oozed from the sausage; it didn't taste dry at all. The slight sweetness and saltiness of the meat mixed together, so delicious that one almost wanted to swallow their tongue as well.

When eating this kind of sausage, the first thing you tasted was the crispness of the skin, followed by the chewiness of the lean meat with a touch of the fat's tenderness. It was perfectly balanced, not greasy in the slightest.

Father Fang then used a knife to slice off a piece of sausage and forked it, passing it over to Mother Fang.

Mother Fang took a bite and nodded in approval after chewing, "This tastes good indeed!"

Fang Ye chuckled, "You declined when I offered you some earlier, do you want to order another one now?"

"No need, just a taste is fine. I'll eat other meats later!"

Father Fang was already salivating at the sight of the sausage grilled to a glossy finish, and whether it was psychological or not, viewing the lions on the grass outside made him feel bold, as if he could eat ten pounds of meat in one meal, devouring it heartily.

At that moment, Mother Fang's curiosity surfaced again as she asked, "Son, are you dating a girlfriend now?"

"What?"

Fang Ye was stunned by the sudden question, then couldn't help laughing and crying, "What girlfriend... "

Father Fang was enjoying his meal, but seemed somewhat anxious when he heard this. He swallowed his piece of meat in a hurry, "If you're not dating a girlfriend, do you plan on dating a boyfriend? Let me tell you, I can tolerate you running a zoo, but absolutely not that. Old Li's son, that Li X..."

"Li X?" Fang Ye seemed to remember something.

Father Fang drank some water, "Yes, Li X! Do you remember him, your 'brother' Li X, who hangs out every day, loves to frequent bars, in his thirties and still not married, always fails quickly in matchmaking arranged by his family, and later they found out he likes men, and not only that, but he was also into group activities, and being the submissive one..."

Mother Fang sighed, "It's good that Old Li has two children, spoiling one isn't too bad."

Father Fang added, "But we only have you as a child, if you're spoiled too, we can't have another one now!"

"Damn!"

Fang Ye was dumbfounded. Are rich people's circles this chaotic?

Ah, what, am I rich too? Okay, then no problem.

He quickly explained, "No no, I'm completely normal, it's just that I don't have much time right now..."

"You don't have time, or could it be that you just don't want to find someone?" Mother Fang said softly.

She wondered to herself, had she been too strict with her parenting previously? She forbade early dating, fearing the child would go astray.

After such control, now she had to worry about her child's romantic issues.

However, thinking about Old Li's child, she suddenly felt that it was better to be strict.

"I'm really busy," Fang Ye said with a wry smile, counting on his fingers, "I get up at 6 a.m., have breakfast by 7, then head to meetings to learn about the animal's conditions, discuss enrichment, meet with other departments after the animal keepers leave, talk about exhibit construction, educational content, and activities.

It could last all morning, and if there's time, I'd inspect the exhibits. I'll take a break at noon, in the afternoon I read books, look for information, and sometimes even live stream..."

"Ah, you do live streaming? What do you stream?"

"Just taking netizens to see our zoo's beautiful exhibition areas and various animals..."

"Which platform do you stream on? Tell me, I'll check it out when I have time and send you a rocket."

Fang Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, it's fine to watch, but forget the rocket, do you even know what that is? I stream on DouShark, under the name Linhai Zoo..."

As he was speaking, the waiter brought over the Tomahawk steak!

The Tomahawk steak has become popular in the country in recent years. A genuine Tomahawk steak has quite strict standards for the age of the cow, the feed and also the size; typically a calf around 6 months old is fed for 70 days post-weaning before being slaughtered.

A cut is made at the rib section, with about a 30 cm bone and approximately 1 kg of meat attached, resembling an axe, hence the name Tomahawk.

On a huge wooden platter lay an equally huge steak, a long bone attached to a round piece of meat. It looked more like a tennis racket than an axe... but Tomahawk certainly sounded better.

The surface of the steak was a dark red shade, appearing tender and juicy, and from the side, it shimmered with a glossy, golden hue—a sign of the fats fried to their most wonderful state.

The dish was garnished with red tomatoes and green broccoli scattered with white salt grains, and black pepper sauce was served in a bowl on the side for guests who preferred to brush it on themselves.

The waiter used a special steak knife and fork to cut the Tomahawk steak into strips for them.

Where the knife sliced through, the aroma of the meat filled the air, and juices flowed out, whetting one's appetite!

"Let's give it a try!"

Fang Ye pierced a piece of the original-flavored steak with his fork, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it fully, his cheeks puffing out with satisfaction.

It wasn't just meat he was eating, but pure delight.

Such a big piece of meat was incredibly satisfying and joyously indulgent to eat!

Upon careful tasting, the meat was very tender and flavorful, not at all greasy, and it seemed to carry a hint of fresh forest fragrance!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And as they enjoyed the meat, they could also admire the grassland scenery outside.

Qiqi was still lazily sprawled on the grass, and Kaka slowly wandered over and lay down next to Qiqi, raising its upper body to take over the watch. Naturally, the tourists again pointed in wonder at the scene outside.

Father Fang brushed some black pepper sauce on his steak, took a bite, and showed a look of enjoyment: "Tastes good. For some reason, my appetite is really good today. Is that new lion outside a younger brother?"

Fang Ye was a bit surprised, "Yeah, how did you figure that out?"

Father Fang's lips curled slightly, "I was listening to you earlier. You said that the length of the mane determines a lion's status. The new one has a mane that's clearly shorter than the one lying on the ground."

Fang Ye gave
