"The animals' outfield habitats have been in use for a long time, and some of the skins have fallen off and need to be replaced and re-fixed."

"I want to buy some professional enrichment toys."

Puluo:

"In autumn and winter, the garden landscape needs to be maintained, and the water pipes should also be prepared to keep warm and explosion-proof, and now it is still a little inconvenient to use water, and there are many unreasonable places in the backyard decoration of the animal cage, so it is best to upgrade it."

"The number of toilets in the zoo is too small, the renovation of the regular toilets is imperative, the carrying capacity of the mobile toilets is limited, the rent is too high, it is better to build a new one, by the way, the ratio of men to women is better set at 1:3, which is more reasonable."

"It is imperative to set up a kiosk in the rest area, and the sale of grilled sausages at the entrance is too much to affect the speed of visitors entering the park."

"By the way, there is also a staff lounge to be built, everyone is here to help, even a place to sit and rest is too much, now the weather is warm, everyone can still use the vacant exhibition hall will be a while, next time it is winter, there is no indoor lounge can not be said, right?"

"Recruiting new employees: cleaners, professional docents, sales, this is also a must, and the current permanent staff is only two of us, which is completely insufficient."

"Don't forget the bright pool!"

"Introduce new and more attractive breeds of animals."

The two of them took a step back, looked at each other's writing, and then were stunned.

Puluo: ...... How do you feel that compared to the principal, I don't feel like an animal?

Lu Wu obviously thinks the same way, obviously he is a human Lu Wu is full of thoughts about animal welfare, while Pu Luo, who is a weasel, is thinking about the renovation of the zoo, if there is no bright column, it is like an ordinary human employee.

It's still more of a social animal.

When they marked their estimated expenditures, they became even more silent.

How to say it, this money is not enough at all, both of them are rushing to spend 500W, and what's worse is that the two of them look at each other, and they both feel that each other's requirements are reasonable, not a place to spend money indiscriminately.

The two had a tacit understanding that they exchanged positions, and Lu Wu took the chalk and deleted the content written in Puluo: "Don't worry about greening, after the plants in the garden naturally lose their leaves, there is basically no need to maintain them, just throw some fertilizer at the beginning of spring next year, and there is no need to spend on this." ”

Pu Luo also deleted the column of Lu Wu to buy Fengrong: "When we replace the perch, we can arrange the venue again, the change of the environment itself is a part of Fengrong, professional Fengrong toys and handmade ones can be played, and the director of the park you want to buy Fengrong toys are foreign too expensive, you can buy substitutes or ask Yiwu if you can do it." ”

Lu Wu hesitated, deleted the bright pool, and in the angry eyes of the little weasel, he explained: "It's almost winter, even if the pool is built, it won't be soaked, and I have an idea this year." ”

"I want to hibernate Liangliang for a try."

Pu Luo was stunned: "Hibernation? ”

"Didn't Liangliang hibernate in previous years?"

Lu Wu smiled bitterly: "The hibernation of the black bear is very demanding on the environment, it needs to enter the hibernation mode in a self-determined very safe situation, the conditions before the zoo are not good enough on the one hand, on the other hand, visitors will feed the animals, in the case of knowing that there is enough food, Liangliang will deliberately not enter the hibernation, so as to wait for the tourists to feed." ”

"But this year, I replaced the wire outside the black bear exhibit with a fine hole and strictly controlled the bright diet, which has improved the begging behavior by knowing that the food of visitors cannot be stuffed in. When the time comes, set up its cage and maybe let it hibernate. ”

Pu Luo was a little puzzled why the director went to great lengths to make the black bears hibernate, the brown bears and black bears in the north do hibernate, but their hibernation is because it is difficult to find food in the mountains in winter, and the special skills they have evolved for survival are not the same as snakes and turtles that have to go into hibernation because of body temperature problems.

And for zoos, the hibernation of black bears means that an animal star cannot be exhibited, so visitors will naturally feel disappointed, so at first glance, the director's plan seems very unnecessary.

Lu Wu had a different view, he put a few documents in front of Pu Luo, sat down next to him, and explained some obscure proper nouns in the literature to Pu Luo in relatively concise language.

To put it simply, scientists have found that brown bears, black bears and other animals enter a half-dreaming and half-awake state when they hibernate in hibernation, the proper noun is called winter rest (winter rest), in this state of bear body temperature and heartbeat will not be greatly reduced, they can wake up at any time to defend, can also go out to bask in the sun to raise body temperature, then the question is, in this case, why do bears have to hibernate? Is it just to save on consumption?

The latest scientific research is that black bears in a winter break will perform a "healing" spell on themselves, and their wounds will heal on their own, and the wounds will hardly become infected or scarred.

In other words, hibernation is also part of the treatment for black bears themselves, "Although scientists have only observed that the external wounds of black bears have healed, I think there should be improvements in other areas." ”

The room was quiet for a while, Liang Liang was forced to perform back then, and there was no animal welfare at all in that era, and Liang Liang suffered a lot when he was young.

Some of the hardships can be carried when they are young, but they are like small cracks in the bottom of the bucket, which will steal the life force of the animals little by little.

And Liang Liang is already in his 30s, which is close to the average lifespan of a black bear, so it's no wonder that the director is so anxious.

It was all for the sake of brightness, and Pu Luo, of course, did not refuse the principal's request for any reason, and he himself reached out and crossed out the proposal to make a pool.

Then the two of them marked and changed for a while, and finally looked at the rest of the deleted and modified to do list and sighed in unison, they were still poor!

IF YOU HAVE MONEY, YOU CAN BE ALL IN, WHERE IS THE NEED TO GIVE UP LIKE CRAZY.

Hey, it hurts.

With this sigh, the two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"Actually, there are ways." Lu Wu said: "If you use the fruit forest as collateral, you should be able to borrow several million yuan from the bank. ”

"But if you mortgage it, you can't sublet it out."

Pu Luo thought about it and felt that the current situation in the zoo was not urgent enough to use these millions, and if the orchard really couldn't be rented out, should they take care of it?

They can't even do a zoo, let alone a fruit grove!

Hey, speaking of the fruit forest......

"Isn't the orchard still rented out?"

Lu Wu shook his head, a little helpless: "The fruit forest is planted with Chinese plums, and it is also a traditional variety, with large kernels and few meats, which is not very popular in the current market. ”

Ahh

But their plums are delicious!

Pu Luo was puzzled, but during this time the director went to the orchard to pick a lot of plums, and he and the animals were very satisfied.

Even the tourists are very satisfied, and the sauce that the tourists praise is seasoned with plums, why is it not popular now?

So that afternoon, the zoo staff, who had a little money in their hands and could afford a little luxury, had a fruit feast -- especially plums.

There are many varieties of plums, but there are actually only three kinds of "bloodline", Chinese plums, European plums, and Sino-European hybrid plums.

Chinese plums are easy to crack and contain a lot of tannic acid when they are not ripe, so they have a heavy astringency and are not easy to digest, so they have to be eaten thoroughly ripe, but ripe plums have the problem of being soft and rotten and difficult to preserve.

The European plum is big, hard and easy to transport when it is not ripe, it is not easy to crack the fruit, it is sweet and sour and soft to eat raw, but it has strict requirements for the climate and soil, so the main plum varieties on the market are hybrids between the two sides.

For example, Hebrin is a typical breed that draws on the best of both worlds.

When ripe, it is rich and sweet, the astringency is light, the tannin content is not so much, it is good to transport, it is durable, and it has a unique flavor when it is raw and cooked.

Pu Luo tasted the black brin and the Chinese plum respectively, and had to admit that the director was right, although the raw black brin is still very sour, but compared to the acidity of the Chinese plum, the acidity is much better, the key black brin is simply sour, but the Chinese plum will have a little bitterness.

This is mainly the pot of the peel, and the peel of the Chinese plum contains more tannic acid than the pulp, and of course this is also its defense ability against the birth of many foodies in this land of China, no wonder people.

"Actually, there are also varieties of Chinese plums with small cores, such as the edible rate of the Dahong plum variety in Shanxian County, which can reach 97 percent, but the villager who bought the land before didn't know if he had been deceived, or because it was cheap at the time, and he bought the cheapest tree species."

Although it is not necessarily expensive, most of the cheap goods are not good, which makes sense in agriculture.

Pu Luo stuffed a prune into his mouth again, don't look at this guy's name with [plum], in fact, it is a kind of European plum, the same as Chinese plum, this guy is very sour when eaten raw, but the fruit is big, it is said that in addition to eating fruits, it is also very popular in the preserved fruit and juice market.

Although it is a European plum, it also has a large planting area in China because of its high economic efficiency.

Pu Luo hesitated: "Then do you want to plant this kind of plant?" ”

Lu Wu didn't speak, he threw the plums of different colors and varieties in his hand again and again, and it was obvious that the director could not make up his mind.

This is the case in agriculture, because there is a great lag in the planting of fruit trees, and in the first two years, a certain variety was still in short supply, but the fruit seedlings were bought and planted, and when they were put on the market, they found that everyone had planted them.

The supply exceeds the demand, and the price will naturally come down.

Now prunes and black brins look very popular with everyone, who knows what it will be like when they follow the trend and plant, and the point is that the zoo does not have the manpower and energy to take care of the orchard.

The first two years of transplanting or cuttings are the time when they need to be taken care of the most, and if none of them take care of them, it will not be a blood loss.

"I actually have an idea." Lu Wu suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bright, and although his words were hesitant, there was a certain certainty in his eyes: "I want to enrich the varieties in the orchard, remove some plums, and plant grapes, cherries, peaches, and loquats, not in a block shape, but in a ring shape." ”

"I've seen a case in a foreign farm before, if you use ring planting, different tree species will become a natural pest and disease isolation zone, so that even if you don't use pesticides, it will not cause large-scale pests and diseases, and if you match it well, it can even attract natural enemies to prevent and control it."

Ah, isn't this going to lease the land out again?

Pu Luo tearfully deleted the income in his heart and reminded: "Is that to hire someone to take care of it?" ”

Lu Wu pondered for a moment: "It shouldn't be necessary, if we expand the spacing and give the fruit trees enough space to grow, and we only need to thin the fruit after flowering and fertilize after the fruit, and the rest of them can basically be self-sufficient, then we only need to hire short-term workers." ”

Can this still be done?

Pu Luo had opened his mouth wide unconsciously, but when he thought about it, it seemed to make some sense.

Plants and animals in the natural environment rarely have outbreaks of infectious diseases or insect infestations because they rarely grow intensively.

Insects and germs have their own range of movement, and as long as the distance between species exceeds their range of movement, it is natural that pests and diseases cannot be expanded.

But......

"Principal, we've got squirrels here."

Although squirrels mainly eat nuts, they also do not refuse fruits.

If there is usually only one plum, it is a big deal to send someone to watch and stop the squirrel during the harvest season, but if you plant a variety of fruits that ripen in the season, the squirrel will sooner or later think about the woodland.

Then it will not be the director ecological park, but the squirrel happily.

Lu Wu didn't speak, he looked at Pu Luo, and stopped talking.

Pu Luo looked back a little inexplicably, and after looking at each other for a moment, he felt his tail hairs explode one by one.

He snapped the fruit down and said incredulously, "You asked me to help you catch the squirrel?? ”

"No," Lu Wu coughed, his cheeks slightly red: "Daxian, they are all rats, can you command the squirrel?" Can they help with the harvest? We can get paid. ”

Good guy, the great immortal is full of scientific farming, and you are a human being who is ready to take the metaphysical route!

Also, weasels aren't rats!

Chapter 46

Autumn is the season of labor and harvest.

Daishan Zoo is also very gregarious and immersed in this atmosphere.

After harvesting the last ripe plums in the orchard, the director will not move again, and the remaining fruits will be left for the migratory birds and small animals in the mountains and forests to contribute to their autumn fat.

And these freshly picked plums will be made into jams, so that they can be stored for a long time.

However, because the director is doing it, there is a little weasel on the side and showing off, and the actual final product is not much, in this regard, the little weasel is very vigorous: the wild animals outside should be pasted with autumn fat, don't the rats in the zoo need it?

To be a principal, you have to pay attention to fairness!

The principal's expression when he heard this was very complicated, he looked at the increasingly rounded body of the weasel basking in the sun, and then thought about how the little employee looked and how thin he looked, and he really wanted to study the connection between the body and the human form.

But he only thought about it for a moment, because the little weasel must be able to blow up his hair, and although the little one is also cute, it would be bad for him to climb trees to avoid it, so he gave up.

…… After that, the director of the garden still had a very far-sighted way to collect a batch of incense offerings with different flavors from that forum, because he had a hunch that Pu Luo's mood would not be too good for the next period of time.
