Super Zoo

Dogs are born to swim. Ever since Su Ming threw them into the water, Defu and Wangcai have fallen in love with Shuijun Lake. They don’t care about playing with cats all day long. They just soak in Shuijun Lake whenever they want.

Su Ming also specially made a set of small life jackets for them, so that they can cool off in the water and occasionally act as lifeguards.

That morning, Wangcai brought back a plastic bag of snacks from the water and shouted at several tourists rowing on the water. Su Ming then realized that some uncivilized tourists not only feed fish, but also throw things into the lake.

If fish eat plastic bags, they will definitely die. Even if fish don’t eat them, it is difficult to decompose naturally and accumulate at the bottom of the water. It is difficult to clean up after a long time, which will greatly pollute the water quality.

Su Ming quickly asked Xiao Li to drive a motorboat to the lake for a tour. Fortunately, the wolf and dog brothers found it in time. There were not many pollutants such as plastic bags in the lake. Even so, more than a dozen were fished out.

As a last resort, he could only put up signs along Shuijun Lake every few sections saying "Swimming is strictly prohibited, feeding fish is strictly prohibited", and then let the wolfhound brothers patrol, and told Lao Zhoutou and Master Peng to keep an eye on it and remind tourists not to litter.

The plastic bag incident reminded Su Ming that Shuijun Lake is an open water area, and it is impossible to prevent outsiders from approaching. With people coming and going, it is inevitable that someone will throw things into the water. It is not enough to just remind tourists.

He asked Er Gouzi to go back to the back mountain and bring back five large blue beehives filled with honey.

With these tonics, Su Ming used his mental power to communicate with all the aquatic creatures in the lake and explained some important things, such as not being allowed to secretly swim back to the reservoir from the channel, and not being allowed to eat the garbage left by tourists.

Tourists littering cannot be blamed entirely on the tourists themselves, and they are always raised to the level of "quality" and "morality". There weren't many trash cans in the zoo, and even fewer near Shuijun Lake. There was often only one every few hundred meters. Tourists threw their trash into the lake, sometimes just for convenience.

So Su Ming paid for dozens of simple trash cans out of his own pocket, spending more than 10,000 yuan to buy dozens of simple trash cans and placed them in a row along Shuijun Lake.

After doing these things, the ten tons of sea fish and half a ton of ordinary feed that Su Ming bought finally arrived.

Zhu Chenggui said last time that in order to ensure the freshness of the fish meat, try to feed less other fish feed. Feeding less does not mean not feeding. The half ton of ordinary feed he bought is not the staple food of fish, but is mainly used to balance the nutrition of fish. It also has certain functions of purifying water quality and sterilizing. It is a very practical concentrated feed. Generally, fish farmers will mix and match it.

Wangcai and Defu, who were about to go swimming to escape the summer heat, smelled the fishy smell on the truck from a distance and shouted at the truck.

The mixed fish had been processed and cut into pieces and frozen. As soon as the car door was opened, a strong fishy smell hit Su Ming's nose, choking him and making him step back several steps.

"Send it to the warehouse!" Su Ming quickly pulled up the shutter door behind the car, covered his nose and sat in the passenger seat, saying to the driver.

If so many mixed fish were piled up beside the Tingfeng Water Pavilion, people would not be able to live in the pavilion. The smoke would kill people. Then it would be better to raise flies instead.

The zoo has a large warehouse with a pool, cold storage and even a small slaughterhouse. It usually stores animal food, but the zoo is short of funds, so more than half of this warehouse is vacant, which is a waste.

It was empty anyway. Hearing that Su Ming was really going to raise fish, Director Song simply negotiated with Su Ming to rent part of the warehouse to him. Su Ming could put fish feed here. If there were fish for sale in the future, they could also be placed in the warehouse, but the premise was that it could not occupy the space of various goods in the zoo.

Su Ming agreed without hesitation. Anyway, the warehouse was very large, and even if feed was added, it would not be full at all, and there was no problem of occupying the zoo's cargo space.

The key was that the rent was too cheap!

The zoo employees Lao Lin and Xiao Lin who managed the warehouse were uncle and nephew, and they had a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan. Su Ming rented the warehouse. In addition to paying for the water and electricity, he gave them a subsidy of 1,500 yuan per person every month.

In this way, the huge warehouse, with complete facilities, was equivalent to a rent of more than 30,000 yuan a year, and there were two old hands who knew each other well to help take care of it. You can't find such a cheap thing anywhere.

The warehouse is the property of the zoo. With a word from Director Song, this bargain fell on Su Ming's head. It can be seen how important it is to have a good relationship with the supervisor!

The zoo is also a beneficiary. Although most of the warehouse is empty, it would rather leave it vacant than rent it to outsiders. The warehouse is full of animal food. If something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome. Then wait for the dispute. Besides, it is not convenient for outsiders to come in and out. There is no such concern when renting it to Su Ming.

On the surface, the zoo does not make money, but the uncle and nephew of Lao Lin and Xiao Lin benefit.

The salary of this uncle and nephew is the lowest among all the employees of the zoo, even lower than that of the new Su Ming. With the current price, more than 2,000 yuan a month is simply poverty. The uncle and nephew complained to Director Song every few days and begged for a raise, but the salary of each position is fixed, and Director Song cannot increase it at will. If he increases their salary, what will happen to others?

Su Ming's renting is equivalent to helping Director Song solve this headache and effectively calming the emotions of the employees.

Although one or two thousand yuan may not be much, for people who earn a few thousand yuan a month, suddenly having an extra one or two thousand yuan is definitely different and has a fundamental difference. If Su Ming hadn't appeared, they would have to rely on years of hard work to get a salary increase of one or two thousand yuan.

This refers to technical personnel. For people like the uncle and nephew of the Lin family, they may not get a salary increase of two thousand yuan even if they work until retirement.

First, Master Peng, Old Zhou, and Xiao Li, and now Uncle and nephew Lao Lin and Xiao Lin, have benefited from Su Ming's relationship and their income has increased a lot. The work enthusiasm of all the employees in the zoo has also increased a lot, and everyone feels hopeful.

So when Lao Lin saw Su Ming coming, he was even more affectionate than when he saw Director Song. He called Xiao Lin to help him move all the feed into the warehouse.

"Brother Su, sit down, we can move it." Xiao Lin made a cup of tea for Su Ming, then came up and asked with a smile: "Brother Su, well, do you need help to feed the fish?"

Feeding fish? When Su Ming heard these two words and looked at the pile of feed, an idea suddenly struck him, as if he had thought of something.
