Chapter 632: Chapter 631: Taught to Eat Bamboo Shoots by a Panda

Anchor Ruanruan spoke politely and smiled at the security guard as she made her way inside.

There were a total of three pandas in the Panda Area, and fans were very familiar with Pudgy because Mianmian had live-streamed it before. At that moment, Pudgy was lying leisurely on the flat stones with Yuyan, basking in the sun.

Besides the stone and faux-mountain area, there was also a continuous stretch of bamboo forest next to it, creating a tranquil and comfortable environment. As the breeze blew, the scenery was delightful.

As Ruanruan approached, Pudgy was still asleep, sweetly slumbering.

She didn’t dare to speak and carefully reached out, wanting to touch Pudgy.

This was the national treasure that everyone wished to touch with their very own hands; she was about to become the first person in the country, besides the panda keepers, to touch a panda! Just thinking about it was exciting!

But just as Ruanruan’s hand was about to make contact, Pudgy suddenly woke up, extended its paw to block, perfectly shielding Yuyan underneath its paw, while also lifting its head and opening its mouth to let out an "awoo" sound at Ruanruan.

Ruanruan was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand and retreated a good distance back.

[Ah, why doesn’t Pudgy accept the anchor’s caress? Could it be that the Talisman Paper is useless?]

[No, no, look at Pudgy’s actions, it’s only behaving like that to protect Yuyan.]

[My God, such beautiful love! I replayed it, that protective gesture was really strong!]

Pudgy actually opened its eyes only after it had roared.

It gently moved Yuyan to the side of the stone, then sat up and began talking to Ruanruan in "Panda-Language" with a series of "ang ang en en."

Its anxious appearance didn’t seem like it was angry, but rather it seemed like it was explaining why it had been so fierce.

Ruanruan didn’t understand and stood at what she thought was a safe distance, not daring to move.

To Pudgy, her stillness meant that this good friend had been frightened by its actions.

Pudgy remembered that Mianmian had said that one should treat visiting friends warmly and kindly and not be too fierce; otherwise, it would lose small apples. In a hurry, it ran to the Bamboo Shoot Area, sniffed around, and then pulled out a thick and tender bamboo shoot. Holding it in its mouth, it ran over to Ruanruan and carefully offered it to her.

Now Ruanruan understood!

Animals do not possess various resources like humans, nor do they know how to store them, generally depending on the whims of nature for their meals. Thus, an animal willing to share its food signals the highest level of friendliness.

However, although Pudgy was being friendly, Ruanruan was even more at a loss.

She was human, after all; how could she eat raw bamboo shoots?

Obviously, she couldn’t swallow them, so not eating after accepting wouldn’t be polite.

But if she didn’t accept, would Pudgy become angry?

[I can see Ruanruan’s dilemma, haha.]

[As the saying goes, calamities are often hidden in blessings and blessings in calamities. It seems that being great friends with an animal isn’t always so blissful.]

[Yuyan’s wing hasn’t healed yet? It’s still wearing a little wooden board.]

After a long struggle, Ruanruan still accepted the bamboo shoot.

She didn’t dare to speak, afraid that Pudgy would realize she wasn’t a panda, and simply smiled at Pudgy.

Pudgy held its head high, constantly lowering its chin and making "mie mie mie" sounds from its mouth. It was clear that it was very happily urging Ruanruan to eat the bamboo shoot.

Seeing Ruanruan motionless for a long time, Pudgy tilted its head and thought for a while, then went back into the bamboo forest to find another shoot. Running back to Ruanruan, it began to peel the shoot.

Ruanruan: ...Pudgy, the bear, is quite the character; it thought she didn’t know how to peel shoots and even demonstrated for her on the spot.

Pudgy was eagerly peeling the shoot when the other two bears arrived.

These two bears, one named An An and the other Nuonuo, were a bear couple that lived on another side of the premises they had chosen for themselves.

Their visit this time was because they had detected the scent of another bear and came over to say hello.

Of course, this show of friendliness was also for the sake of Mianmian’s small apples and carrots.

When Pudgy saw the other two neighbors come over, it kindly introduced Ruanruan as a new friend bear and then sighed, "Ang ang en~" This bear doesn’t know how to eat bamboo shoots; I’m demonstrating for her.

Upon hearing this, An An and Nuonuo also ran into the bamboo forest, broke off some bamboo shoots, and plonked down beside Ruanruan.

The three giant pandas surrounded Ruanruan, facing her as they peeled their shoots.

Ruanruan had only thought of making friends with touches at most; she never imagined that she’d be taught on the spot by three bears how to eat!

What should she do now?

The three bears were so enthusiastic; should she eat the bamboo shoot or not?

"You can eat bamboo shoots raw," seeing the dilemma Ruanruan was in, the security guard also broke off a bamboo shoot and sat on the ground to eat, showing her how.

"Aren’t they bitter?" Ruanruan was surprised, "Uh, won’t speaking ruin the effect of the Talisman Paper?"

The security guard shook his head: "No, it won’t. The animals have all been trained by Little Auntie and won’t be rude to us."

After saying this, he took a bite of the shoot in his hand: "This shoot is very sweet, personally grown by Little Auntie."

Actually, the Zoo didn’t originally have shoots, but they started growing not long after Little Auntie planted them. This miraculous occurrence wasn’t something you could just talk about.

After hearing the security guard’s words, Ruanruan swallowed and then said to the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room, "Families, I’m about to eat a bamboo shoot now and will tell you the real taste after I eat it."

With that said, she quickly peeled the bamboo leaves and took a small bite.

Bamboo shoots naturally have a bitter taste that anyone who has been curious enough to try knows.

But the bamboo shoots from Mianmian Zoo were indeed sweet, much like fruits.

"Families, I am shocked, this shoot tastes like fruit, it’s really delicious," Ruanruan finished commenting on the taste and promptly took another big bite, eating it with relish.

Seeing Ruanruan begin to eat, Pudgy clapped its paws with the bamboo shoot still in its mouth and gave the security guard a thumbs-up.

[I’m cracking up, how smart is our Pudgy? It even knows to compliment the security guard for teaching Ruanjie well.]

[Wuhuhu, this is too blissful, I want to go too.]

[Sss, I did a search, and indeed, there are people who specifically cultivate fruit-flavored bamboo shoots, but the results aren’t very good.]

[Are these shoots not for sale? I’m worried that people might want to take the shoots home to cook.]

This worry could indeed become reality.

Now there are fewer people, but in the future, as more people visit, all sorts of people will come, and you never know what kind of people will enter. Especially those thrifty seniors, they might come every day to pick.

Bamboo shoots are quite expensive, especially these, which are definitely fruit bamboo shoots.

The concerns of the crowd were not unreasonable. Seeing this, Ruanruan worriedly asked the security guard, "Excuse me, those bamboo shoots are so delicious. What if, in the future, people come and pick them at will?"

The security guard smiled, "It seems you haven’t read the entrance agreement in detail. One of the clauses states that any edible plants picked in the Zoo wanting to be taken out must be purchased at twice the market price before leaving. If you are not willing to pay, then we can only thank everyone for helping us pick food for the animals. Of course, if you want to eat these to your heart’s content, the Zoo does not charge."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly went to check the agreement.

And indeed, there was such a clause.

Since the Zoo had already thought of this, there was nothing more for them to say! They only looked forward to trying the bamboo shoots themselves and indulging in a bamboo shoot buffet at the Zoo!
