Animal Dining Center

The Cheshire Cat took the money and left.

It's not driving away like a little hamster, nor is it walking upright like a delivery horse, and it's chubby and invisible.

But when it disappeared, the smile still infected the air, and it froze transparently in the air, and it took a while to disappear.

So this world is not only animals, but also magic?

"Ding ding ding ding..."

The microphone in the retro telephone was vibrating, and there was a crisp ringing.

Not knowing who would call, Russell picked it up anyway.

"You have a takeaway order, please pay attention to check it. Please press 1 to play—"

It turned out to be a mechanical female voice, which was the same as the opening remarks when dialing a radio station. Of course Russell pressed 1.

"Animal Dining Center? I'm Da Da, little hamster, do you remember? I had the food in the restaurant this morning and thought it was delicious, and my mother was full of praise. Please bring me another corn salad and an oatmeal biscuit. The address is Simo Town, Animal Forest, Unit 5, Unit 2, Building 608, Hamster Community, thank you."

With the familiar soft and cute voice, Russell can imagine the cute appearance of the little hamster.

It's just that this phone can still accept takeaway orders, Russell was surprised.

"Press 1 to repeat, 2 to accept, 3 to decline."

Being used to operating again, Russell pressed 2, and then thought, he doesn't seem to know where Small Town is, but he will know when he goes out and asks.

Thinking of going out, he hasn't been out yet.

Corn salad is easy to make. Russell took a carrot, cut off some of the top, and found a sweet corn from the basket under the pounding table, pulled out the outer bracts, washed the carrot and corn Place in a pot filled with water.

While cooking the corn and carrots, he took two bought sub-burnt eggs and broke them into a basin, put a little corn oil, salt and sugar in them, beat them with a manual egg beater until they were thick, added Stir the oatmeal until smooth, then add the plain flour and stir and set aside.

Russell picked up a knife and carved the head of a little hamster on the head of the radish that was just cut off. After washing his hands, he kneaded the oat flour paste that had just been mixed evenly and put it on the tinfoil of the baking tray .

After setting it up, press the carved carrot on the dumpling, and a little hamster appeared on the oatmeal biscuit, just as cute as Da Da.

Each biscuit Russell stamped it with a da-da and put it in the oven.

When these are done, the corn and carrots are already cooked, pick them up and cut them into small cubes, then pour them into a bowl, then find the salad dressing from the seasoning, squeeze in some and mix well, it's almost the same.

After packing the food, Russell packed it in a bag and went out the door.

Except for the last time I sent the little hamster to watch it go away on a roller, I have never been out of the house.

He thought that if he walked along the path with little green grass, he would definitely reach a place with animal smell.

Sure enough, within a few minutes of walking, he saw a house in the middle of the woods on the side of the road.

A very large house, bigger than his restaurant, with two floors, painted white on the outside, and a cross on the roof.

The door of the house is very big, maybe two meters wide, but the lobby is empty and there are no animals.

But there was a man at the door, his hair was a bit long, but fortunately he had a handsome face, so that chicken coop made him look a bit unruly and messy.

The man is wearing a vest, showing his strong wheat-colored arms, and the lower body is wearing beach pants full of minions. His calves are strong and muscular, and he can tell he exercises regularly. But very cute Naruto splint.

Russell stared at him, although the man's attire was a bit casual, but it was very clean, and he was really good-looking, his figure and appearance were in line with his appetite.

The man is tinkering with a four-wheeled vehicle, a bit like a tourist attraction, white with a cross printed on the front, but only with four wheels and two rows of seats.

"Is something wrong?"

After the man finished fiddling, he looked up and found him, so he asked, Su immediately recovered and nodded vigorously.

"Do you know how to get to the hamster community in Small Town?"

"boarding."

The man said, Russell was very happy, Tsukuru thought affectionately that the man sent him off specially, grinned and jumped into the car.

The road surface is not cement, so it is a bit bumpy, and the engine hums softly, it should be an electric car.

Sitting in the back row, Russell looked at the surrounding scenery comfortably, and suddenly wondered if the man came from that world like himself.

"what's your name?"

Russell asked, and the man didn't look back.

"Yang En."

"What do you do?"

"doctor."

"My name is Russell, the restaurant owner."

Russell introduced himself, Yang En didn't seem very interested and didn't answer the question.

Seeing his attitude, Russell also got an idea. He felt that this person was a bit strange, and he kindly gave him away, but he was so indifferent.But he is not a person who likes to post backwards, even if he doesn't know where the interested party is from, it's okay.

The mountain road has never been ups and downs. After driving for a few minutes, the road becomes wider.

The trees on the side of the road also changed from dense to sparse, but the shape of the trees was no longer thick and uneven, and the bushes under the trees were no longer overgrown, but arranged neatly and regularly.

Russell looked from the side, and these tall and straight trees looked like soldiers with souls standing in military posture.

Interestingly, there are signs hanging on the trunks of these trees, such as "Building 1, Starling Court, Feitian Community", "Building 1, Kingfisher Court, Feige Community"...

"he came!"

"The doctor is here!"

"The doctor brought a friend!"

A series of mischievous voices came from overhead. Russell looked up and saw three pigeons standing neatly on a branch. One was white, one was gray, and the other was black. Their small heads kept turning.

Behind the branches on which they stood, there was a large wooden house.

It is said that the wooden house is actually more like a promenade spliced ​​together by containers with many branches, winding along the trunk and branches.

If the birds walk along the roof, they can reach the top branch without jumping or flying.

Many of the pigeons in the house are open and the windows are watching, from which more pigeons can be seen.

"Hello!"

Russell waved to them happily, and they jumped happily on the branches.

"He talked to me!"

"You talked to me!"

"But he looked at me and said it!"

……

The three pigeons quarreled over who Russell was talking to, but he clearly said "you"?

Yang En's car also went far away, and Russell discovered that there were such "wooden houses" on the trees in that area, and there were all kinds of birds outside the houses, including magpies, sparrows, swallows...

Is that forest where the birds live?That's why it's called Feitian Community, and the names of those gardens are the names of birds?

Thinking in my heart, the car started to slow down, and the trees on the side of the road suddenly disappeared, replaced by a piece of grass, surrounded by a wooden fence, the fence must be about 1.5 meters high, at the door, there is also a A plaque that reads "Hamster Community".

At a glance, there are rolling grasslands inside, which are lush green.It's just that the rolling grass is not a hill at all, but a sod roof, a bit like the hobbit's hut in the movie Lord of the Rings.

The huts are arranged in the same order as the trees just now. Although they are covered by turf, they can still be seen clearly. Each building has five or six floors.

"arrive."

Yang En said, the car stopped, Russell jumped out of the car, said thank you, and walked to the door.

The gate is open in two, and there is a small door with one page inside the gate, which should be for the hamsters to enter and exit.

But these doors are not high for Russell, and he can step through them with a slight lift of his feet, and he intends to do so.

"Who are you? What are you here for?"

As soon as he lifted his foot, he was stopped, and his voice was a bit old.

Russell froze for a moment, his long legs froze in the air. He looked down and saw a small wooden box on the fence by the door. A small white hamster poked its head out of it. It had long hair on its chin. , kind of like a beard.

The doorman hamster had a serious face, and his dark eyes stared at Russell vigilantly, as if dissatisfied that he ignored his own existence.

"Delivery food."

Russell replied, shaking the food in his hand at it. After the old man looked at him for a few times, he still didn't intend to open the door.

"To whom?"

"Building 5, unit 2, 608 da da."

"Wait a minute, I'll confirm with the owner."

After the doorman hamster finished speaking, he put his head in, and after a while, he poked it out again.

"Go in, come out as soon as you finish delivery."

That door was of no use to Russell, so he just stepped through it.

The fifth building is easy to find, it is the fifth building directly opposite the gate, and it is marked on the small grassy knoll.

Russell walked up to the small grassy hill that was about the same height as himself. It was a small seven-story building, but the corridor was too small to enter.

Fortunately, this hill house is like a tube building made of clay, with corridors and balconies on the outside, and the door numbers of the corridors and elevators can be seen from the outside.

There are also windows, but they are all hung with plain curtains, so you can't see clearly inside.

Russell counted from the first floor to the sixth floor, and then counted from left to right to the eighth door. As expected, 608 was hung on it.

The door was about the size of his palm, and Russell stretched out a finger and knocked a few times.

"Hey!"

The door opened, it clicked, it seemed very happy to see Russell, and immediately walked out, leaning on the fence in the corridor outside, looking up at him with its small head.

"Will you deliver food to me yourself?"

Da Da was a little moved, his eyes seemed to be staring, Russell was a little embarrassed, and took out the food, but unfortunately it was a bit big, two boxes, and filled the corridor in front of Da Da's house.

"No way, I'm the only one in the store."

"You can recruit animals. I recommend you the three pigeon brothers. They just came back from other places and are just looking for a job!"

Da Da recommended, looking at the food expectantly, Russell thought of the three quarreling pigeons he just met on the road, should they be them?

"Well, I'll go there and ask when the time comes."

Russell replied that at this time DaDa couldn't wait to unpack the package. The first one it opened was an oatmeal biscuit. When it took out a piece and was about to eat it, it noticed the pattern of a little hamster on the biscuit.

The mouth that was originally wide open slowly closed, and then the whole hamster seemed to soften, with a cute smile on its face, and then hugged the biscuit, rubbing its fluffy little face against it.

"Wow! My first hamster cookie!"

It said happily, and looked at Russell with emotion, Russell was embarrassed.

"If you like it, I will do it for you in the future."

"It's very kind of you! I'll show it to my friends, and they'll be happy too!"

After Da Da finished speaking, he hugged the biscuit and ran to 605 next door, knocking on the door of that house.

The door opened, and out came a little pockmarked hamster.

"Look! Look! Cookies with our pattern! Is it fun?"

Da Da excitedly showed off to the little hamster, and the calm eyes of the little hamster lit up after seeing the pattern clearly.

"Yeah! Yeah! I want it too!"

"I'll show it to 604, it must have never seen it before!"
