After the Swan Lake is built, it is natural that swans will settle in.

After Ye Han handled the follow-up, six pairs of black and white swans were introduced, a total of 24.

They are all national second-class protected animals, Ye Han went to the regular artificial breeding center to buy, select the best adult swans, the average price of a single is about 7,000 yuan, plus transportation and other costs, a total of 180,000 yuan.

Black swans are a bit more expensive than white swans, they are covered with jet-black wings, plump feathers, a slender S-shaped neck, and their bodies float gently on the water, occasionally combing their feathers with their beaks, which is particularly elegant.

Liu Yi was fascinated when she first saw it, and couldn't help but take a few steps closer.

The black swan ignored it, but the white swan next to it was very alert, and suddenly straightened up, spread its huge wings and slapped the water back and forth, and at the same time chirped loudly, making Liu Yi take two steps back in fright, muttering 'so fierce' in his mouth.

Wild swans are birds of prey with wingspans of nearly two meters, raising their wings to threaten other predators in their territory, and whooper swans are the champion of flights, flying up to 9,000 meters and even crossing Mount Everest.

Although these swans are artificially bred and many of their abilities have been degraded, Ye Han selects swans with strong vitality and the best quality, and they have a little fierce personality, so it will be good to be familiar with them after raising them for a period of time.

When the white swan saw that the 'competitor' was intimidated by it, it slowly gathered its feathers, and the snow-white feathers covered the body surface layer by layer, with slender roots, white and noble, and the black swan was different from the beautiful posture.

It suddenly stretched its neck and plunged into the water, pecked at the seaweed and aquatic plants in the water, flapped its wings happily because it was happy to eat, and then continued to burrow into the water, revealing only one butt floating on the surface of the water, still shaking up and down.

"Poof." Liu Yi laughed all of a sudden, and the frightened shadow disappeared, and he took this picture as material.

When the time comes, it will be sent to the official account - the swan's posture award, the contrast must be great.

Since the swans settled in the botanical garden, many tourists have come to watch.

Because the water body of Swan Lake is clear and alive, the swans are clean and tidy, the slender neck is S-shaped and curved, and the outer feathers are upturned like a harp, fluffy and shapely.

They float side by side on the mirror-like water, beautiful and elegant, and they are many times better than some muddy and dirty scenic spots.

The water of the lake reflects the blue of the sky, and on the blue surface of the lake, a pair of mute swans are sweetly necking in the middle of the lake.

The black beaks with orange are paired together, and the two S-shaped necks form a large heart-shaped neck. The feathers of the body also touched lightly, and the whole picture was beautiful and lingering, attracting tourists to take pictures.

"Ouch, that's so sweet."

"Stick, heart~"

"Woo, what's the matter that animals are sweeter than humans in love?"

"I like this couple so much, I wish them a long life."

"Please ask the beautiful white swan to bless me to get off the list as soon as possible!"

……

Swans are lifelong monogamous birds, choosing only one mate for life and being loyal, adding a romantic love story to this rare picture.

Someone took a video of the scene and uploaded it.

Under the reflection of green trees and blue sky, the light blue lake surface is as clear as a mirror.

With the gentle breeze blowing up the gentle waves of water.

Two white swans float above the water in the center of the lake (), their feathers as white as snow? ()? [()]"Come []% to see the latest chapter%Complete chapters』(), the posture is elegant, as if no one is around, or the beaks of the birds are opposite, or the necks are gently touched, or the heads are bowed to help each other alienate the feathers, full of affection, as if performing a moving song "Swan Lake".

The comment area was shocked by this beautiful picture.

"It's so beautiful, it's the first time I feel that swans are such elegant and pure creatures."

"It's amazing, I feel like I've watched a beautiful dance."

"I've taken a screenshot, and I'm going to use it as a wallpaper."

"Where did the blogger shoot it? Why are the white swans I saw dirty, not good at all in the video? ”

"It's a filter, what kind of filter does the blogger use, I'll try it next time."

"As a person who has been to the Flower Fair, I have personally proved that it is really not a filter, the swans there are so elegant, and the scenery is beautiful."

"But the swans there are very cold, disdainful of the bread in my hand, laughing and crying/"

……

That's right, the swans in the flower collection are unique and noble.

The black swans are more affectionate, some tourists take bread to feed, and the flippers of several black swans are plucked underwater, swimming slowly to the shore, stretching their necks and sniffing, in the delightful eyes of tourists-

He left without looking back, without eating a single bite, and then swam to the open space of the wooden house to bask in the sun.

Visitor:???

In fact, there is a sign next to it that prohibits feeding, but there are still some tourists who like to feed with bread.

The swan is a herbivore, eating mostly cattails, foxtail algae, Sichuan vine algae and other aquatic plants, and occasionally eating fish and shrimp, insects and plankton, which can meet its needs, and the ingredients contained in bread are not suitable for consumption.

But in other scenic spots, feeding with bread, snacks and other food has become the norm.

Fortunately, Ye Han will drip the diluted plant nutrient solution into the lake water, making the aquatic plants rise very quickly and nutritious, in this case, the swans naturally don't even bother to eat bread.

Not at all tempting.

In the face of feeding tourists, the white swans are even colder, and they don't even look at them.

They occasionally spread their snow-white wings to the tourists who surrounded them to take pictures, raised their necks high and made a high-pitched cry, the amplitude of the wingspan directly shocked the tourists, and then under the surprised gaze of the other party, they fluttered up from the water and flew in a line towards the artificial lake.

“！ , can you fly so high? ”

"Good fellow, how many meters did this fly—"

A tourist sighed while taking pictures, the white figure in his screen became smaller and smaller, almost invisible.

"What about the swans? You're not going to run, are you?! ”

"Tell the managers of the Flower Fair that their swans have escaped from prison!!"

The other side.

"Look, look—the white swan!" Someone pointed to five or six white figures in the air, looking excited.

The other tourists also looked up, and lowered their gaze as their figures fell.

"I'm going, flying from Swan Lake over there?"

"Oh my God, are you so good at flying!"

The artificial lake and the swan lake are separated by glass flower houses and flower areas

There are four or five scenic spots such as bamboo forests, which are about more than 1,200 meters away.

But the swans of the Flower Farm flew over with great ease, and landed steadily on the surface of the water, without even stopping halfway.

It's amazing.

Among captive-bred swans, this ability to fly is definitely at the forefront.

A few beautiful white swans have fallen near the Wanglian area of the artificial lake, and they bow their heads to comb their fluffy feathers, like a large clump of cotton floating on the surface of the lake.

Then, suddenly, they burrow their long necks into the water, and the whole body takes on an upside-down posture, with only their tails exposed on the surface of the water; It wasn't until they caught algae and aquatic weeds that they surfaced shaking their heads, and the droplets quickly slipped down their feathers and were shaken off by them.

The aquatic plants and algae in the artificial lake have been irrigated with nutrient solutions since May, making them more fattening, and these swans are also working hard to eat in one bite.

But it is a feast for the eyes of tourists in both places.

*

After closing at 17 o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Han went to check the status of the swans as usual.

They have only been in the botanical garden for less than two weeks, but they are already very popular.

There are endless beauties on the Internet, and even swan fan groups have been formed, often forming teams to photograph this group of elegant creatures.

The beautiful video of the white swans crossing their necks has spread widely, and tourists think it is a zoo or a scenic spot, but they don't expect it to be a botanical garden.

The name of the flower collection once again appeared in the public's field of vision.

Many tourists complain that some zoos are not in a good environment, and every time they see swans, they are dirty, and the lake water is dirty. I thought it was normal, but after looking at the swans in the flower collection, I realized that this was not normal at all.

It turns out that swans can live in such clear waters, and it turns out that swans can be so white and elegant.

The swan is a national second-class protected animal, how can such an environment work?

This led to a craze for monitoring the 'swan environment'.

Tourists spontaneously went to different places to check in, and used online public opinion to rectify many places.

It provides a better living environment for these swans.

And many people don't think that the cause of these topics is actually because of a botanical garden.

The sky was getting dark, Ye Han followed Liu Yi, and the two came to Swan Lake together.

As soon as they saw Ye Han, this group of noble and cold swans all fluttered their wings and gathered towards the lake, one by one put down their arrogant posture, stretched their necks to rub her palms.

Even when Ye Han squatted, the two black swans put their necks on her shoulders, rubbed affectionately, and spread their wings to ask for a hug.

Ye Han hugged it for a few seconds and put it down.

It's so heavy.

It was a bit difficult to hold the goose for more than ten pounds, and the wings almost covered her face.

In the days when they were first transported to the flower fair, the aquatic plants such as aquatic plants and algae in Swan Lake had just been laid, and Ye Han was worried that the swans would not be adaptable, so Ye Han took the cut grass and fed them.

Smelling the aroma of the grass, a flock of swans swarmed and scrambled for food, and even the grass clippings that fell on the ground were gnawed away.

After a week, the swans went from being a little aggressive to becoming more intimate.

Among them, several black swans are particularly coquettish and spread their wings every day

Let Ye Han hug it.

The other swans also gathered around her, flapping their wings to attract Ye Han's attention.

The whole is a large-scale competition for favor.

Liu Yi followed behind and wanted to cry without tears.

Why the same is

Human, but the treatment of her and the director is so different?

She was almost pecked by a swan the other day, but luckily she ran fast.

The main reason is that Liu Yi fell in love with the feathers on other people's bodies, especially the circle on the end of the feathers, which is at least sixty or seventy centimeters, long and straight, white and flawless, and particularly beautiful.

She wanted to pick two of them down and treasure them, but the swan saw through them, and every time she saw her, she would chase after her.

So that Liu Yi doesn't dare to approach now, and only dares to come when he is with the director.

Ye Han asked her to put the electronic scale on the ground and weighed the swans one by one, yes, it continued to increase.

Seems to have adapted well.

Originally, she wanted to hire a professional breeder as soon as possible, but now it seems that there is no need to rush, just hang up the position first, and wait until the dormitory is built before joining the company.

Liu Yi stood behind the director and secretly touched the black swan of his relatives.

Wow, I actually touched it.

The texture of the feathers is great, the hard microribbon is curled, the edges are soft, thick and dense, and the feel is excellent.

The appearance of the black swan bending its neck and floating on the surface of the water is exactly the same as the crystal jewelry of a certain brand, full of elegance.

When she saw a certain white swan and wanted to make a move, the other party suddenly flapped her wings violently, which frightened Liu Yi and screamed in panic, and fled as fast as she could.

Liu Yi: Poor .jpg

I don't know why, every time she looks at the same swan, it arouses the vigilance of the other party, and she has no way to start.

Because the white swan is the largest, the most beautiful feathers, the snow-white feathers are not mixed with a trace of variegation, when the wings are folded, the curvature of the feathers is twenty centimeters higher than the body, the tail feathers are fluffy and dense, and the flight is particularly powerful.

Of course, the character is also very 'fierce', with a length of up to 1.4 meters and a huge wingspan, which is definitely enough to scare children into crying.

scared away this nasty human, the white swan returned to its elegant state, and even stretched its neck to touch Ye Han's palm and asked the other party to help it comb its feathers.

Liu Yi: ......

Wow, ah, envy, jealousy, hatred.

Within a few days, the Swan Lake in the flower set ushered in the arrival of wild swans, they descended from the sky in a zigzag, a total of more than 30 individuals, divided into two groups of whooper swans and mute swans.

Swans mostly migrate in October, and when the weather turns cooler, they fly to the warmer south for the winter.

These wild swans were supposed to be the last to migrate from the north and were supposed to fly further into the nature reserve, but they made their home here when they found this beautiful environment, as well as a special hut and hatching area.

It is expected to continue until March next year.

The Wildlife Conservation Association of W City sent people to check the living conditions of the more than 30 wild swans.

Wild second-class protected animals are far greater than artificially farmed species in terms of species reproduction and gene inheritance, so the relevant part attaches great importance to them.

Director Yuan Honglin said in an interview: "To be honest, we never thought that this group of wild swans would be here

Winter.

Migratory birds have a certain regularity in their migration, and tend to follow past habits, that is, where they went last year and will go to the same place this year, unless affected by factors such as climate and environmental changes. ”

"400 kilometers further south from W City is H Province, where thousands of square kilometers of swan sanctuary have been built, where thousands of swans spend the winter every year, and it is the best habitat for swans to spend the winter in previous years.

The Swan Lake has only been built for less than a month, with an area of 30 acres, which is not abundant for wild swans who like wide waters, but now there are two waves of swans left here for the winter, which can be said to be a miracle. ”

Yuan Honglin: "At present, I and relevant personnel are surveying the environment here, striving to create the most suitable swan ecological area.

At the same time, I also hope that the general public will not disturb this group of precious wild swans and visit moderately. ”

Yuan Honglin's interview can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and because it was so rare, it even made local headlines.

There is no swan sanctuary in W City, where can you see wild swans?

Naturally, tourists flock here.

But after repeated stresses by the security guards and the media, everyone just stood on the shore and watched, not to disturb, and even spoke very softly.

In order to allow this group of wild swans to survive the winter, Hanamaji has also taken a lot of measures.

Ye Han had his staff pull up a one-meter-high screen near the lake to keep visitors at a distance from the lake, while transplanting thousands of cattails and reeds around the lake to provide them with a more pristine environment.

In order to avoid the divergence between the rest area of the artificially bred swans and the wild swans, W04 printed out an exquisite log cabin, which was opposite to the original one and did not interfere with each other.

Wild swans are also very natural to nest in the cosy cabins, or bask in the sun on the deck, grooming their feathers, which is very pleasant.

Under the sun, more than 30 swans, some black and some white, floated on the blue lake, with different sizes.

They stretch out gracefully, swim on the sparkling water, ripple through layers, and occasionally plunge their heads into the water to feed, looking quiet and peaceful.

The temperature is just right during the day, and the other swans sleep on the deck of the hut, burying their heads deep in their wings, and from a distance they look like a big white ball, which is very interesting.

Wild swans have traditionally only moved around the center of the lake, away from the crowds or among the dense reeds, and are a good means of protection for those who stare at them and will soon be nowhere to be found.

Cameras are installed all around Swan Lake, and security guards patrol at all times to ensure the safety of this group of wild animals.

Yuan Honglin and others were very relieved to see such a situation.

The conservation measures of the flower set are very good, and it is believed that this group of swans will be able to survive the winter here.

In addition to placing these swans, Ye Han did not forget the task requirements of the system.

More than 20 varieties of pitcher plants that can be seen on the market, such as Crimson Nepenthes, Dianiana Nepenthes, Gentleman's Nepenthes, Red Lantern Nepenthes, Miranda Nepenthes, Pauline Nepenthes, etc., have been introduced into the botanical garden by Ye Han from different channels.

In addition, there are more than a dozen common species of flytraps such as the beauty tooth flytrap, the large-mouthed flytrap, and the flower market flytrap, plus bottle grass and sundew

A total of more than 50 species and 200 plants of different kinds of insectivorous plants such as vegetables, insect-trapping violets, and raccoon algae have been introduced.

But these types are still insufficient.

Nepentalom is found in tropical regions such as Southeast Asia and Australia, and Ye Han decided to introduce a batch from abroad.

She asked Wang Yun to find a channel to introduce more than 50 species and more than 200 pitcher plants from Australia, and when the transportation procedures and relevant quarantine procedures are completed, the perfect insectivorous plant area can be created.

Ye Han has made a clear calculation, before introducing tropical plants, remove epiphany, water lilies, and orchid scenic spots, and the remaining task goal is to introduce no less than 160 species and 1,100 plants.

Since then, a total of 16 species of tropical plants have been introduced, with 25 trees, with ferns and vines, a total of more than 300 trees.

There are 2 kinds of orchids, 6 plants.

After the insectivorous plant area is completed, there will be 120 species and more than 400 plants in the area, so there will only be more than 20 species and less than 500 plants left.

It is easy to plant mosses and aquatic plants around the stream rocks, and the quantity is easy to achieve.

At the moment, we are only waiting for the introduction of pitcher plants from abroad, which is expected to take 2-3 weeks.

"Principal, the channel of lavender seeds has been connected." Wang Hongnian came to report, "One acre of land is about 1.5 catties of lavender seeds, 70 acres are 100 catties, and the price of high-quality seeds is 600 yuan a catty." ”

"I've compared, the market is basically at this price, and the survival rate of this one is higher."

Ye Han bowed: "Okay, hard work." ”。

The cost of seeds is about 60,000 yuan, which is not expensive, mainly because she does not need to pay the rent of renting the land, and the cost is reduced all of a sudden.

Compared to flower seedlings, the cost of seeds is the lowest, but correspondingly requires a lot of care.

Lavender grows very quickly, and it is divided into two sowing periods, spring and autumn, and generally blooms in 4-5 months.

At present, the planting time is a little later than in autumn, but it is also in time, and it will not affect the flowering period next year.

After finalizing it, Ye Han asked Wang Hongnian to do it, and hired a group of personnel to sow seeds, believing that a full sea of lavender flowers will be harvested in May next year.

In this way, the total cost is about 100,000.

Compared to lavender, the cost of growing tea trees is much higher.

Tea trees can only be picked in small quantities for about three years, and they reach peak production in 8-10 years, so Ye Han must choose tea trees that are more than eight years old to plant.

Ye Han consulted Boss Feng of the teahouse.

Boss Feng replied after calling: "The high-quality tea tree of 8 years is about 50 yuan, and it can be cheaper if you want more." Choose double rows for planting, 1500-2000 trees per acre, plant densely, fertilize to keep up, and of course the yield is good.

It's just that the cost is really not cheap.

Otherwise, you buy tea saplings, tea saplings are cheap, only a few dollars. ”

Tea seedlings will not be picked until a few years later, and Ye Han still plans to buy 8-year-old tea trees.

Just in this way, the cost of one mu is at least about 7-100,000, and 30 mu is close to 3 million.

Sure enough, there is a reason why tea can be sold at a high price, but not so many people follow suit.

The cost of starting a tea plantation alone is unaffordable for ordinary people.

Ye Han took a deep breath, the recent expenses were really a lot.

The cost of introducing osmanthus trees is 500,000 yuan, 130,000 yuan for epiphany, 300,000 yuan for tropical plants, and about 500,000 yuan for the introduction of protected plants such as podocarpus, totaling 1.5 million yuan.

There are also beverage area decoration, employee salaries, raw materials for drinks, tea costs, etc., which are expected to be millions.

Fortunately, the sales of drinks, tea bags and annual passes are very high, and she has not yet accounted for the specifics, but it is certainly far more than expected.

It's just that 3 million is indeed not a small amount.

Ye Han was about to think about it, but Boss Feng suddenly lowered his voice: "My friend has a branch of the mother tree cuttings, do you want it?" If you want, I can give it to you as a gift. ”

Of course, Ye Han would not think that it was the branches of the Longjing mother tree or the Dahongpao mother tree, and it was most likely a local tea tree.

But even so, it's worth a look!
