Chapter 654 - Chapter 654 654. The dog is a good dog_1

Chapter 654: 654. The dog is a good dog_1 Chapter 654: 654. The dog is a good dog_1 Looking at Song Tan again, she indeed took out two portions, one big and one small, for Baobao to choose from.

This time, the two didn’t hesitate a bit and just picked the one closer to them.

But Sibao, who ended up with the smaller portion, hummed discontentedly, nudged Song Tan’s palm with his head, and gave her a pitiful, longing look with his little eyes.

“Woo…”

“Let him eat, let him eat!”

The zookeeper, standing next to them, was clearly also craving the watermelon, his mouth parched, but he spoke without hesitation.

However, Song Tan shook her head, seriously saying, “You can’t spoil dogs too much; they need to be taught–Sibao, do you think your sister will give you an extra piece? Here, a supplement for you.”

She picked around in the bowl and finally came up with an even smaller corner piece.

Zookeeper: …The dog is good, but you’re truly dogged.

Yet Sibao wasn’t picky at all; he happily took the tiny piece of watermelon in his mouth carefully, then lay down, holding it with his two paws, and licked it bit by bit…

How heartbreaking! The big King next to him couldn’t care less to watch!

“That’s really unnecessary!” The zookeeper sighed and, unable to resist, also grabbed a piece to eat.

Once the watermelon hit the mouth–

!!!

Wow! How delicious is this watermelon! No wonder the dog is licking it so fondly; if there weren’t so many people around, he’d also like to hold the bowl and lick it.

Seeing him eat so noisily, the person in charge of cutting the watermelon laughed and said, “What’s the rush? We’ve still got half left for the rest of us to eat; this here’s for the dogs.”

“No worries,” the zookeeper grabbed another piece and mumbled through his mouthful, “I’m not fussy, just taste-testing for sweetness.”

Person in charge: …With the way you’re gobbling it, can you even tell if it’s sweet?

He simply put down his knife: “Then let me taste-test too.”

“No way!”

The zookeeper, having quickly finished his piece, stood up and made a beeline for the door with the bowl: “This watermelon is too delicious. I fear you won’t be able to stop yourself; I’ll go feed them first.”

Person in charge: …Is it really necessary?!

But when he turned around, he saw three dogs looking at him eagerly, with Sibao drooling excessively, clearly coveting the fruit.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the small half of the watermelon left on the cutting board and became wary.

However, this time it was Song Tan’s turn to come over, who with a swift cut, divided that smaller half of the watermelon into two. Then, with another swift motion, she split one half into four even smaller portions:

“I’ll take these to Princess and the others to try.”

Person in charge: …

Looking at the tiny tiny pieces of watermelon on the cutting board, and then at the three big dogs staring at him, he felt a sudden pang of anxiety and subconsciously held onto the last of the watermelon.

No need to cut, he just started gnawing away at it!

Ah! In the coolness of the air-conditioned room in August, munching on crispy watermelon, how sweet! How delicious!

Sweet!

So refreshingly sweet! It’s quenching right down to the throat!

He was stunned for a moment and for some reason thought of the backstage data chart for Tao Tao Treasure that Song Tan had given him, which once displayed the fleeting price of twenty yuan per kilogram for watermelons…

Although at the time he had only glanced at it, now, that hefty twenty yuan seemed to loom right before his eyes.

This watermelon… is truly worth it!

Meanwhile, the zookeeper, holding the bowl and squatting at the fence, held a piece of watermelon with a tender face:

“Feihu, you don’t like watermelon, do you? No worries, I’ll eat it for you… Lele, do you like it? Maybe I should take a taste first…”

…

After much hustle and bustle, it was twelve o’clock and the three of them still hadn’t had lunch. The caretaker picked up a kitchen knife:

“How about this? I’ll cook something for you guys for lunch?”

Song Tan peered into the kitchen: “What are we eating?”

The caretaker was peeling pumpkin skins with a crunch: “In a bit, I’ll steam some pumpkin for them, and we can keep a piece and make a soup out of it.”

“I stewed some meat and bones for them in the morning. I’ll just take some out for us at lunch, and add a couple of potatoes. That should be about enough. Then I’ll chop up some minced meat… after all, some dogs don’t have good teeth! I’ll make beans fried with minced meat for you…”

This wasn’t about stealing the dogs’ food–it was simply that the caretaker’s meal allowance wasn’t enough for one person, so he ended up sharing with the dogs instead.

But Song Tan turned green in the face.

She went to look at the bone broth, and indeed, it was ready–a layer of scum on the surface, no oil, no salt, no seasonings, a pale and insipid sight.

Seeing the caretaker about to add potatoes and salt, she quickly waved her hands:

“No, no, I’m not hungry…”

Not to say she wasn’t really hungry, but even if she were, she couldn’t eat that kind of food! These culinary skills were simply too mediocre–she was now spoiled by Seventh Uncle and had become picky.

Then the question arose–

The caretaker and manager stood at the door, staring at her pickup truck: “How are you planning to take the dogs back with this car?”

Song Tan: …

She tentatively suggested: “… How about, you give me several cages, and I’ll put them in the back of the truck?”

The two of them immediately widened their eyes, pointing at the blazing sun in the sky: “It’s forty degrees at noon! You want my dogs to roast in the back of the truck?!”

Song Tan was also frustrated: “So what should we do? Otherwise, shall I roast in the truck bed?”

The three stood there, looking at each other.

Just… they really hadn’t dealt with adopting four dogs at the same time before.

And they certainly hadn’t had someone adopt four dogs while bringing three of their own (one of them being so large).

After a while, they heard the manager ask: “Where are you from? Yun City, right?”

“Yes!” Song Tan nodded: “Yun City, Qingxi Town, Yunqiao Village.”

The manager thought for a moment: “Then wait a bit. I remember there’s someone from Yun City on our team. He mentioned yesterday that he was planning to go home for a vacation. I’ll ask him.”

The result of the inquiry was that the manager arranged a car and also arranged for someone to drive it to Yunqiao Village, with the four dogs comfortably settled inside.

Song Tan: …

“This… this is so embarrassing!” she feigned refusal, causing the manager’s smile to fade:

“All right, all right, it’s not just for you. Mainly, I’m worried that Duoduo and the others would suffer. Besides, your car can’t fit them all, and I don’t trust anyone else to transport them.”

“I only have one request, take good care of them!”

Song Tan’s smile faded, and she nodded solemnly: “Rest assured!”

…

Amidst all this commotion, the arranged vehicle arrived well past one o’clock.

While waiting, the lunch was prepared, and Song Tan watched with wide eyes as the manager, with a fierce face, reluctantly ate their lunch with the caretaker–

A meal distinguished by its unappetizing nature and perfunctory execution.

Thus, she longed for home even more–had she known, she would have brought a bag of tea eggs with her. Even if not hungry, she could at least have savored a treat!

Reflecting on this, she earnestly promised the two: “Don’t worry, when the dogs come home with me, they will surely eat well and sleep soundly. And when people come back, I’ll have him bring some local specialties for you–don’t refuse, it’s not just for you. Mainly, I feel sorry for these dogs.”

The caretaker blushed a little but was stubborn: “What do you know, they’re retired now. They need to eat less oily and salty foods…”

The manager, standing next to him, twisted his face: “Our meals aren’t oily or salty, so how come they’re still so unappetizing?”
