Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Vibrant rice field
Drinking honey tea, came to the small farm.
When I passed the farmland, I saw a field of green and yellow rice, surrounded by wooden fences.
In the stone canal outside, there is a clear water flowing silently, which looks like a beautiful rural scenery.
Yan Ganghui was curious: "Hey, do you still grow rice in the zoo?"
Rice is planted in spring and takes four months to mature.
Now more than two months have passed, and it has grown very luxuriantly, and it has reached the heading stage.
A large piece of rice was blown by the wind and swayed slightly. You can see that among the green leaves, there are slightly greenish light yellow ears hanging down.
The grains are full and look full of vitality, and it makes people happy to look at it.
By July, the wheat ears will turn into a beautiful golden color and they can be harvested.
From time to time, tourists stopped by the side of the road, and the parents with the children pointed at the wheat ears and the children with a smile and preached: "This is how the rice we usually eat grows out!"
Yan Ganghui looked at the exhibition signs on organic agriculture and rice, and found it very interesting!
He grew up in the city. Apart from taking the train when he was going to school, he sometimes saw large farmland scenery along the way. It was the first time he was so close this time and carefully observed the farmland.
Now some new facilities have been added to the rice paddy field.
Several large compost bins are placed side by side under the tree beside the ridge.
The sign on the side of the box talked about the raw materials used in composting and how it was fermented. By the way, it also introduced the huge manure fermentation tank at the back of the elephant exhibition area. If visitors are interested, they can also lift the lid of the box to take a look inside and smell it.
A beautiful small pond was formed on the edge. The edge of the pond is made up of large and small round stones. Through the clear water, you can see the pebbles at the bottom of the pond, and green lotus leaves floating on it.
Next to it are clumps of green grass, shrubs, light blue and pink wildflowers, and white butterflies flying around.
Under the warm sun, the water is shining, and the greenery is full of nature.
Half of it is in the sun, half hidden in the bushes.
After usual observations, there are often blackbirds and white-headed bulbul activities here, so they selected their favorite mulberry trees, black tallow trees, and paper mulberry trees. The leaves are wide and suitable for nesting and attracting them to settle. There are also some fragrant flower plants as insects. Food source, rich and dense plant communities.
Su Hui pulled Yan Ganghui with some surprise, and pointed to a tree and said, "Look, squirrel!"
Yan Ganghui looked over, a little furry squirrel was standing on a tree trunk, his small black eyes were watching the surroundings, and his big fluffy tail swayed slightly behind him.
Climbed down flexibly from the tree, got into the grass below, and disappeared at once.
The small pond attracts a lot of animals, and strolling here is not a peaceful place.
Rainwater can be stored in ponds at ordinary times. When the rice fields need to be hydrated, the rainwater stored here can be used to irrigate the farmland. The nearby wild animals can also use the ponds. The dense bushes are a good shelter.
There is a keel waterwheel in the pond, which is shaped like the crawler of a tank. It can be stepped on to rotate the axle and drive the blades in the trough to scrape water upwards and irrigate it into the field.
The ancient waterwheel contains the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, and it has also watered China's millennia of farming civilization.
Fang Ye specifically asked about this and asked an old carpenter in the country to do it.
When tourists come over, if you want to experience the feeling of irrigating farmland, you can use a waterwheel to lift the water by yourself.
Nowadays, diesel engines or hydroelectric pumps are used for pumping water. There are not many people who can do this kind of waterwheel, and young people have never seen it. But for some older people, it is indeed a childhood memory.
An old man in a shirt took his grandson and happily stepped forward and stood on the wooden shaft, holding the pole above, and stepping on the pedal.
The waterwheel suddenly made a rhythmic "quack quack" sound, and the reel slowly turned around. Accompanied by the sound of rushing water, a clear stream of water rolled from the leaves and flowed into the field.
The old man stepped on it a few times, and after the addiction, the child had a good time.
The old man wiped his eyes with his hand, as if he wanted to cry, but then he laughed.
With a look of nostalgia, he sighed: "Eh, you know that when I was a child, I spent the summer with a waterwheel, but we used a hand crank. With my parents or brothers, we held the waterwheel alone. One of the hand-cranked waterwheels drove the water from the pond to the high terraces.
It was a day after work. Early in the morning, the car drove until the sun rose, sweating under the scorching sun, and the car continued until the sunset. So if you want rare food, food is hard-won. "
The child got off the waterwheel and nodded if he knew it.
Yan Ganghui couldn't help saying: "This kind of nature education is really good! It is both a broad horizon and a closeness to nature. You can learn a lot. It can be said to be truly entertaining and entertaining. When we have children in the future, we must always bring them together. Come and stroll around."
Su Hui smiled and said, "Okay!"
…
Feed the alpaca, play with the alpaca for a while, and come to the elephant exhibition area!
Seeing a few gray elephants walking towards the edge of the playground, the tourists were also watching through the trenches, looking very lively, not knowing what happened, and hurried over.
When I came over, I found that Fang Ye, who was wearing the garden uniform, was in the playground, no wonder they were all around here.
It's almost June now, and some premature watermelons are already on the market!
At this meeting, the number of tourists slowly increased. Fang Ye prepared to show the tourists the interesting behavior of elephants eating watermelon, and later planned to trim the elephant's feet.
Now the elephant has been here for a few months, and under the training of the breeder, he has understood the meaning of the goal stick.
The elephants came over and looked at Fang Ye, seeming to say, what is this calling us here?
Sticking out his nose flatly, took Fang Ye's hand and shook it, looking very happy.
In the beginning, he shook his nose because of what he wanted to eat, but now he is regarded as a friend.
Meiling seemed to have smelled some good smell, she stretched her nose into the bag impatiently and pulled it up.
Fang Ye also touched his flat nose and smiled: "Come on, I'll send you watermelons to eat!"
I patted Meiling's nose: "Hey, don't you be so eager."
Meiling looked indifferent, anyway, for her to eat fruit is the most important thing.
Fang Ye took out a big watermelon from the bag and handed it to Bobo!
Tourists are very curious, how would this elephant eat watermelon and swallow it in one bite?
A dozen kilograms of watermelon, Bobo rolled up easily with his nose.
Put the watermelon on the ground, half of the nose curled, lifted the foot and stepped on the other half, there was a muffled sound, and the watermelon split on the spot.
