A Panda That Goes "Awoo"

After a three-day holiday, Qin Yanan announced that the roasted camel was ready and ready to eat.

Making roasted camel is certainly not something an ordinary family kitchen can handle. The culinary team led by Zhu Juntang was truly responsible for the procurement and transportation of ingredients, as well as the preparation. The banquet designer appointed by Zhong Qing was in charge of setting up the restaurant and tables.

The camel is served at Restaurant No. 1 in Zhu Juntang, where there is a rather large table to accommodate the camel.

This was a real feast. After receiving the information, Liu Chang'an planned to call Shangguan Dandan and Zhou Dongdong to set off together, and then go to the rice noodle shop to call Zhou Shuling.

Today, Shangguan Dandan was wearing a gray onesie with a bear design and a round bear head hood. She didn't wear the hood on her head, but she put a packet of effervescent tablets, an Oreo cookie, and three jellies inside the hood.

Zhou Dongdong wore the same style, but she always wore a hoodie and claimed that she had turned into a scary panda.

These two outfits were bought by Zhou Shuling. She wanted to wear matching outfits with Zhou Dongdong, but she was worried that Liu Chang'an would laugh at her, so she bought a slightly smaller size for Shangguan Dandan to wear.

Zhou Shuling herself wasn't wearing any, but she seemed quite happy to see them together; the two, one big and one small, looked like an adorable older and younger sister.

"Awooo..." Zhou Dongdong stiffened his neck and roared at the sky.

"Aren't you a scary panda?" Liu Chang'an asked.

"Yes, it is!" Zhou Dongdong called out, then opened her arms and hugged the sycamore tree to climb it a bit, to show that she could climb trees like a real panda, even though she could only lift her legs to rub against the bark.

How can a panda bark like a husky?

"I am... I am a panda who can only howl." Zhou Dongdong thought hard for a moment and came up with an excuse to deal with her brother Chang'an, who always focused on these trivial questions.

"Pandas make more than a dozen sounds; they can Mie Mie, squeak, moan, patter, and even bark like dogs, but they never howl." Liu Chang'an is quite knowledgeable about animals.

"What does that have to do with me? I'm a panda who can only howl. No matter how other pandas howl... I'll just howl... howl... howl..." Zhou Dongdong insisted on shouting.

"Keep calling me, I'm leaving."

Seeing that he couldn't communicate with Zhou Dongdong, Liu Chang'an turned and left. Zhou Dongdong immediately stopped yelling, ran over, and grabbed Liu Chang'an's finger to follow him.

Shangguan Dandan had already boiled the water and was carrying a thermos full of effervescent water, following at the very back.

"Dongdong, pandas crawl on all fours," Shangguan Dandan reminded Zhou Dongdong.

Liu Chang'an then picked Zhou Dongdong up and tapped Shangguan Dandan on the head.

Shangguan Dandan touched her head, put her hood up, and a few jellies rolled out. She quickly picked them up and put them in the small pocket on her waist. As for the Oreos and effervescent tablets, they didn't seem to fall out, so she left them in her hood.

Liu Chang'an couldn't help but worry. Zhou Dongdong was already a foolish child, and Zhou Dongdong Shangguan Dandan was always stirring up trouble for him with ill intentions. It was really annoying.

"Dan Dan, considering how good Zhou Shuling has been to you, please be a kind person in the future, thank you," Liu Chang'an said to Shangguan Dandan.

"I have a very good relationship with Dongdong's mother. She agreed to let me be Dongdong's godmother. In the past, the palace would have needed to prepare a formal investiture ceremony. I want to bestow the title of Princess upon Dongdong," Shangguan Dandan said, looking at Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an also looked at Shangguan Dandan. He suspected that Shangguan Dandan was trying to take advantage of his seniority again... But he had no evidence, because the eldest princess meant the emperor's sister, which was a fixed rule that was established in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During the Western Han Dynasty, many rules were not fixed. For example, a princess could be the emperor's sister, but sometimes she could be the eldest daughter. For instance, Emperor Wen of Han made his eldest daughter Liu Piao, the princess.

Oh well... This wretched old lady only thinks about these pointless things all day long. Anyway, she's more worry-free than Su Nanxiu.

"Aren't you suspicious that I'm taking advantage of your seniority?" Shangguan Dandan looked at Liu Chang'an suspiciously.

Liu Chang'an nodded frankly.

"Hehe... you guessed right." Shangguan Dandan hugged the thermos and let out a clear, girlish laugh.

Liu Chang'an frowned. This boring old lady.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, they found Zhou Shuling and discovered that All-Star and Mi Gaoming had gathered at the rice noodle shop again at this mealtime.

"Enjoy your meal, you two. We'll head to another place for our get-together." Liu Chang'an glanced at the eight chicken legs, four bowls of rice noodles, and ten meat buns in front of All-Star and Mi Gaoming, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"The two uncles have become a bit cuter." Zhou Dongdong sees them often and is already quite familiar with them. Now she even talks to them. This is because Brother Chang'an said that you should run away as soon as you encounter bad people or strangers, but these two uncles haven't even told Chang'an that they are bad people.

All-Star and Mi Gaoming, feeling a little embarrassed by the children's compliment, but since they were being called "cute," it was still a kind of positive compliment.

"She means... she means you've gotten fat... no, I mean, a little chubby... no, anyway... you might seem a bit rounder... sigh..." Zhou Shuling finally found a relatively mild word in her limited vocabulary. "Rounder."

Zhou Shuling understands her daughter very well. In Zhou Dongdong's eyes, this is what "cute" means. However, she failed to express it more tactfully. Zhou Shuling was a little annoyed. She realized that she was not well-educated. If it were Liu Chang'an, it would be better. Apart from teasing Zhou Shuling, he was quite eloquent when talking to others.

Mi Gaoming and All-Star looked at each other, both of them stunned.

"Brother Mi, I remember the first time I met you, you were tall and thin with a pale face. I was thinking that you would definitely have a beer belly in two years. Many fat people look like this before they get fat." All-Star snapped out of his daze.

"Brother Quan, I was thinking at the time, it's really rare that you have such a lot of pressure at work and don't seem to exercise regularly, yet you only have a slightly balding head and no protruding belly." Mi Gaoming also recalled.

The two exchanged another glance and realized that they had both gained weight without even realizing it, as they had been competing to see who could eat the most food.

Goodbye.

Liu Chang'an left with his group, unsure whether they would continue eating or repent. He felt grateful for their spending at the restaurant. If they stopped overeating, Liu Chang'an wouldn't regret it; after all, making money wasn't as important as the health of his customers.
