Drinking honey tea, came to the small farm.

When I passed the farmland, I saw a piece of green and yellow rice surrounded by a wooden fence.

In the stone canal outside, there is clear water flowing silently, which looks like a beautiful rural landscape.

Yan ganghui was curious: "eh, do you still grow rice in the zoo?"

Rice is planted in spring and it takes four months to mature.

Now more than two months later, it has grown very luxuriantly and has reached the heading stage.

A large area of rice was blown by the wind and shook slightly. You can see that there are slightly green and astringent light yellow ears hanging between the green leaves.

The grains are full and look full of vitality, which makes people happy.

When July comes, the ears of wheat will turn into a beautiful golden color and can be harvested.

From time to time, tourists stopped by the roadside, took the children''s parents, pointed to the ears of wheat and the children, smiled and said: "the rice we usually eat grows like this!"

Yan ganghui looked at the exhibition board on organic agriculture and rice and thought it was very interesting!

He grew up in the city. In addition to taking the train at school, he can sometimes see large tracts of farmland scenery along the way. It''s the first time he''s so close this time to observe the farmland carefully.

Now, some new facilities have been added to the rice field.

Several large composting boxes were placed under the trees next to the ridge.

The exhibition board beside the box talks about the raw materials used for composting and how they are fermented. By the way, it introduces the huge manure fermentation tank behind the elephant exhibition area. If tourists are interested, they can also lift the lid of the box, look inside and smell it.

There is a beautiful small pond on the edge. The edge of the pond is made 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 wild flowers, with white butterflies flying among them.

Under the warm sun, the water is bright and green. It looks full of natural flavor.

Half in the sun, half hidden in the trees.

After ordinary observation, blackbirds and white headed Bulbul are often active here, so they chose their favorite mulberry, Sapium sebiferum and Broussonetia papyrifera. Their leaves are wide and suitable for nesting and attracting them to settle down. There are also some fragrant flowers as a food source for insects, with rich and dense plant communities.

Su Hui pulled Yan ganghui in surprise, pointed to a tree and said, "look, squirrel!"

Yan ganghui looked over. A furry little squirrel was standing on the tree trunk. His smart black eyes looked around, and his fluffy tail swayed gently behind him.

He climbed down from the tree flexibly, drilled into the grass below, and disappeared at once.

The small pond attracts many animals. It''s a quiet and comfortable place to walk here.

Usually, rainwater can be stored in the pond. When the paddy field needs to be replenished, the rainwater stored here can be used to irrigate the farmland. Nearby wild animals can also use the pool. Dense shrubs and trees are a good shelter.

There is a keel waterwheel in the pond, which looks like the caterpillar of a tank. You can step on it to rotate the axle, drive the plate leaves in the groove to scrape water up and irrigate the field.

The ancient waterwheel not only contains the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, but also irrigates China''s Millennium agricultural civilization.

Fang Ye inquired about it and found an old carpenter in the countryside to make it.

When tourists come here, if they want to experience the feeling of irrigating farmland, they can bring water up by themselves through the waterwheel.

Now they all use diesel engines or hydropower pumps to pump water. Few people can make such waterwheel, and young people have rarely seen it. However, for some older people, it is really a childhood memory.

An old man in a shirt, with his grandson, excitedly stood on the wooden shaft, held the pole above and stepped on the pedal.

The waterwheel immediately made a rhythmic sound of "clack clack", and the wheels turned slowly. With the sound of splashing water, a clear water gushed out of the leaves and into the field.

The old man stepped on it a few times and the addiction came down after a while. The child had a good time.

The old man wiped his eyes with his hand. He seemed to want to cry, but then he laughed.

He looked nostalgic and sighed: "ah, you know, when I was a child, I spent the summer with the waterwheel, but we used hand-operated. With my parents or brothers, I held a hand-operated waterwheel of the waterwheel and drove the water from the pond to the high ladder field.

One day''s work is a whole day. I drive the whole day before dawn in the early morning. The car rises until the sun rises, sweating in the scorching sun, and driving until the sunset. Therefore, it''s hard to get rare food. "

The child gets off the waterwheel and nods if he has some understanding.

Yan ganghui couldn''t help saying, "this kind of nature education is really good! It can broaden our horizons and get close to nature. We can learn a lot of things. It can be said that it is really fun and education. When we have children in the future, we must often bring them around."

Su Hui said with a smile, "OK!"

……

Fed the alpaca, played with the alpaca for a while, and came to the elephant exhibition area!

Seeing several gray elephants walking towards the edge of the activity field, the tourists also looked around across the ditch. It was very lively. They didn''t know what happened and ran to it.

I found that Fang ye in the headmaster''s clothes was in the playground. No wonder they were all around here.

Now nearly June, there are already some early maturing watermelons on the market!

This will slowly increase the number of tourists. Fang Ye is going to show the tourists the interesting behavior of elephants eating watermelon. Later, he plans to repair the elephant''s feet.

Now the elephant has been here for several months. Under the training of the breeder, he has understood the meaning of the target stick.

The elephants came and looked at Fang ye, as if to say, what''s the matter with calling us here?

Pingping stretched out his nose and shook Fang Ye''s hand. He looked very happy.

At first, shaking his nose was what he wanted to eat. Now he has regarded him as a friend.

Meiling seemed to have smelled something good. She couldn''t wait to stretch her nose into the bag and pick it up.

Fangye also touched Pingping''s nose and said with a smile, "come on, give you watermelon!"

Patted Meiling on the nose: "Hey, don''t be so anxious."

Meiling looks indifferent. Anyway, having fruit is the most important thing for her.

Fang ye took out a big watermelon from the bag and handed it to BoBo!

Tourists are curious about how the elephant will eat watermelon and swallow it in one bite?

A dozen pounds of watermelon, Bobo easily rolled up with his nose.

Put the watermelon on the ground, roll one half of the nose, raise your foot and step on the other half, "click", and the watermelon split on the spot.
