Jinjiang genuine version 44 (minor revision)

Now that Swan Lake is built, it is natural that swans will move in.

After Ye Han handled the follow-up matters, he introduced six pairs of black and white swans, totaling 24 swans.

They are all national second-class protected animals. Ye Han went to a regular artificial breeding center to buy them, selecting the best adult swans. The average price of a single swan was around 7,000 yuan. Including transportation costs, the total cost was 180,000 yuan.

Black swans are more expensive than white swans. They are covered with black wings and have lush feathers. They have long S-shaped necks and float lightly on the water. They occasionally use their beaks to comb their feathers, which makes them look particularly elegant.

Liu Yi was fascinated when he saw it for the first time 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. It straightened up suddenly, spread its huge wings and flapped the water back and forth, and cried loudly, scaring Liu Yi so much that he took two steps back, muttering "so fierce".

Wild swans are raptors with a wingspan of nearly two meters. They will raise their wings to threaten other predators in their territory. The whooper swan is a champion of flying, flying at an altitude of up to 9,000 meters and can even cross Mount Everest.

Although these swans are artificially bred and many of their abilities have degenerated, Ye Han selected the most energetic and best quality swans. They may be a little fierce in character, but that will be fine after he gets familiar with them for a while.

When the white swan saw that its 'rival' was intimidated by it, it slowly folded its feathers. The snow-white feathers covered its body layer by layer. Each feather was slender, white and noble, with a different graceful posture from the black swan.

It suddenly stretched out its neck and dived into the water, pecking at the seaweed and water plants in the water. Because it was happy with the food, it flapped its wings happily, and then continued to dive into the water, leaving only its butt floating on the water, still swaying up and down.

"Pfft." Liu Yi laughed out loud, the fear of being frightened disappeared completely, and he took a picture of this scene as material.

I will post it on the official account when the time comes - a great collection of swan's postures, the contrast will definitely be huge.

Since the swans moved into the botanical garden, they have attracted many tourists to watch.

Because the water of Swan Lake is clear and flowing, the swans all have clean and tidy feathers, their long necks are curved in an S shape, and the outer feather tips are upturned like a harp, fluffy and stylish.

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

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

The black and orange beaks are facing each other, the two S-shaped necks form a large heart shape, and the feathers on the lower body are gently touching. The whole picture is beautiful and lingering, attracting tourists to take pictures.

"Oh, how sweet."

"Stick to it, love it~"

"Woo, woo, how come animals' love is sweeter than humans'?"

"I love this couple so much, I wish them a long and happy life together."

"Please, beautiful white swan, help me find my way out of being single as soon as possible!"

Swans are lifelong monogamous birds that only choose one partner in their lifetime and remain loyal to it, adding a romantic love story to this rare scene.

Someone filmed this scene and uploaded it as a video.

Against the backdrop of green trees and blue sky, the light blue lake is as clear as a mirror, with gentle ripples created by the breeze.

In the center of the lake, two white swans floated on the water, their feathers as white as snow and their postures elegant. They embraced each other as if no one was around, with their beaks touching, necks gently touching, or heads lowered to help each other spread their feathers. They were full of affection, as if they were performing a touching "Swan Lake".

The comments section was amazed 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. It feels like I'm watching a beautiful dance."

"I took a screenshot and I'm going to use it as wallpaper."

"Where did the blogger take the video? Why are all the white swans I've seen so dirty? They're not as pretty as in the video."

"It must be a filter. What filter does the blogger use? I'll try it next time."

"As someone who has been to Huajianji, I can personally attest that it's not a filter. The swans there are just so elegant and the scenery is beautiful."

"But the swans there are very cold and look down upon the bread in my hand. It's so funny."

That’s right, the swans in Huajianji are uniquely noble and cool.

Black swans are more friendly. Some tourists brought bread to feed them. Several black swans paddled their webbed feet underwater, swam slowly to the shore, stretched their necks to sniff, and in the delighted eyes of the tourists -

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

Tourist: ???

In fact, there is a sign next to it prohibiting feeding, but some tourists still like to feed them with bread.

Swans are herbivorous animals. They mainly eat aquatic plants such as cattails, foxtail algae, and kelp. They occasionally eat fish, shrimp, insects, and plankton to meet their needs. The ingredients in bread are not suitable for consumption.

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

Fortunately, Ye Han would drip diluted plant nutrient solution into the lake water, causing the aquatic plants to grow extremely quickly and be rich in nutrition. In this case, the swans naturally would not even bother to eat bread.

There is no temptation at all.

When faced with tourists feeding them, the white swans were even more indifferent and didn't even look at them.

Occasionally, they spread their snow-white wings to the tourists who were taking pictures, raised their necks high and made loud calls. The extent of their wingspan directly shocked the tourists. Then, under their surprised gazes, they flapped their wings and flew up from the water, flying in a line towards the artificial lake.

"! Holy shit, it can actually fly so high?"

"My goodness, how many meters did it fly——"

One tourist was taking photos while sighing that the white figure was getting smaller and smaller on his screen until it was almost invisible.

"Where's the swan? It won't run away, will it?!"

"Hurry up and tell the management of Huajianji that their swan has escaped from prison!!"

The other side.

"Look, look - white swans!" Someone pointed at five or six white figures in the sky with an excited look.

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

"Oh my god, did it fly from Swan Lake over there?"

"Oh my god, is the flying ability so strong?"

There are four or five scenic spots between the artificial lake and Swan Lake, including the glass greenhouse, flower area, bamboo forest, etc., with a distance of about 1,200 meters.

But the swan from Huajianji flew over very easily and landed steadily on the water without even stopping in the middle.

So awesome.

Among artificially bred swans, this flying ability is definitely among the best.

Several beautiful white swans landed near the Victoria amazonica area of ​​the artificial lake. They lowered their heads and combed their fluffy feathers, like a large ball of cotton floating on the lake.

Then, they suddenly stuck their long necks into the water, presenting an inverted posture with only their tails sticking out of the water. Only when they caught some algae and water plants did they float to the surface, shaking their heads. The water droplets quickly slid down their feathers and were shaken off by them.

The water plants and algae in the artificial lake have been irrigated with nutrient solution since May, making them more lush and green. In order to get a bite to eat, these swans are trying their best.

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

After the museum closed at 17:00 in the afternoon, Ye Han went to check on the condition of the swans as usual.

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

Various beautiful pictures are emerging on the Internet, and there is even a swan fan club, which often teams up to photograph these elegant creatures.

The beautiful video of white swans embracing each other went viral, and tourists thought it was a zoo or scenic spot, but it turned out to be a botanical garden.

The name of Huajianji once again appeared in the public eye.

Many tourists complained that the breeding environment in some zoos was poor. Every time they saw the swans, they were dirty and the lake water was filthy. They thought it was normal, but after seeing the swans in Huajianji, they 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.

Swans are at least second-class protected animals in the country. How can they survive in such an environment?

This has sparked a wave of supervision of the "Swan Environment".

Tourists spontaneously checked in at different places and used online public opinion to rectify many places.

Provides a better living environment for these swans.

Many people would not have thought that the cause of these topics was actually because of a botanical garden.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ye Han was followed by Liu Yi, and the two came to Swan Lake together.

As soon as they saw Ye Han, this group of noble and cool swans all flapped their wings and gathered towards the lake. They put down their proud attitude and stretched their necks to rub her palms.

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

Ye Han held it for a few seconds and then put it down.

So heavy.

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

In the first few days after they were transported to Huajianji, the aquatic plants such as water plants and algae in Swan Lake had just been laid. Worried that the swans would not be able to adapt, Ye Han took some cut grass and fed them.

Smelling the fragrance of green grass, a group of swans swarmed over and scrambled for food, even eating up the grass clippings on the ground.

After a week of this, the swans went from being a little aggressive to being extremely affectionate.

Among them, some black swans are particularly good at acting coquettishly, and they spread their wings every day to ask Ye Han to hold them.

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

The whole thing was a large-scale scene of competing for favor.

Liu Yi followed behind, feeling like crying but without tears.

Why are they treated so differently from the director even though they are both human beings?

A few days ago, she was almost pecked by a swan, but luckily she ran fast.

The main reason why Liu Yi was attracted by the feathers on the person's body, especially the circle at the tips of the feathers, which was at least sixty to seventy centimeters long, long, straight, spotlessly white, and particularly beautiful.

She wanted to pluck two to keep, but the swan saw through her plan and would chase after her every time it saw her.

As a result, Liu Yi doesn’t dare to get close now, and only dares to come when the director is with him.

Ye Han asked her to put the electronic scale on the ground and weigh the swans one by one. The weight was good and was increasing.

Seems to be adapting well.

She had originally thought of hiring a professional breeder as soon as possible, but now it seems there is no need to rush. She can just post the position first and then start the job after the dormitory is built.

Liu Yi stood behind the director and secretly touched the more friendly black swan.

Wow, I actually touched it.

The texture of the feathers is great, hard with a slight curl, soft edges, thick and dense, and feels great.

The way the black swan floats on the water with its neck bent looks exactly like a certain brand of crystal jewelry, extremely elegant.

When she targeted a white swan and was about to attack it, it suddenly flapped its wings violently, scaring Liu Yi so much that she screamed in panic and fled as fast as she could.

Liu Yi: Poor.jpg

For some reason, she always fell in love with the same swan, which aroused the other party's vigilance and made it impossible to start.

Because the white swan was the largest and had the most beautiful feathers. Its snow-white feathers were not mixed with a trace of other colors. When it folded its wings, the arc of the feather tips was twenty centimeters higher than the body. Its tail feathers were fluffy and dense, making it particularly powerful when flying.

Of course, its personality is also very fierce. When it stands upright, its body length can reach 1.4 meters, and its wingspan is huge, which is definitely enough to scare children to tears.

After scaring away the annoying human, the white swan returned to its elegant state, even stretching its neck to lightly touch Ye Han's palm, asking him to help comb its feathers.

Liu Yi: ...

Wow, so envious and jealous.

A few days later, the Swan Lake in Huajianji welcomed the arrival of wild swans. They descended from the sky in a line. There were more than 30 swans in total, divided into two groups: little swans and mute swans.

The migration period of swans is mostly in October. When the weather turns cooler, they fly to the warm south to spend the winter.

This group of wild swans should be the last batch to migrate from the north. They were originally going to fly to a nature reserve farther away, but when they stopped on the way, they discovered this beautiful and suitable environment, as well as special resting cabins and hatching areas, so they decided to settle down here.

It is expected to last until March next year.

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

Wild second-level protected animals are far superior to artificially bred species in terms of species reproduction and genetic inheritance, so relevant departments attach great importance to them.

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

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

"400 kilometers south of W City is H Province, where a swan protection area of ​​thousands of square kilometers has been built. Every year, tens of thousands of swans spend the winter there. It has been the best habitat for swans to spend the winter in previous years.

The Swan Lake in Huajianji was built less than a month ago, with an area of ​​30 mu, which is not enough for wild swans that like wide water areas. However, two groups of swans have stayed here for the winter, which can be said to be a miracle. "

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

At the same time, we hope that the public will not disturb these precious wild swans and visit them in moderation.”

Yuan Honglin's interview caused a huge stir and was so rare that it even made local headlines.

There is no swan protection area in W City, so where can we usually see wild swans?

Tourists naturally come in large numbers.

But after repeated emphasis from the security guards and the media, everyone just stood on the shore and watched, not disturbing them, and even spoke in a low voice.

In order to help this group of wild swans survive the winter better, Huajianji has taken a number of measures.

Ye Han asked his employees to put up a one-meter-high gauze net by the lake to keep tourists at a certain distance from the lake. At the same time, he transplanted thousands of cattails and reeds by the lake to provide them with an environment that is closer to its original ecology.

In order to avoid conflicts in the resting areas between artificially bred swans and wild swans, W04 printed out an exquisite log cabin, which faces the original one and does not interfere with each other.

The wild swans also naturally rest in the comfortable wooden houses, or bask in the sun on the deck, combing their feathers, looking very comfortable.

Under the sunshine, more than thirty swans were floating on the blue lake, some black, some white, and of different sizes.

They stretch their bodies gracefully and swim on the sparkling water, creating ripples. From time to time, they dive their heads into the water to look for food, looking quiet and peaceful.

The temperature during the day was just right, and the other swans were sleeping on the deck of the cabin. They buried their heads deep in their wings, and from a distance they looked like a big white ball, which was quite interesting.

Wild swans usually only move around near the center of the lake, away from people, or shuttle through the dense reeds. Tourists who stare at them will soon lose sight of them, which is also a good means of protection.

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

Yuan Honglin and others were very pleased to see this situation.

Huajianji has done a good job of protecting the environment, and I believe that these swans will be able to spend the winter here safely.

In addition to settling these swans, Ye Han did not forget the system's task requirements.

There are more than 20 species of pitcher plants available on the market, such as crimson pitcher plant, dariana pitcher plant, gentleman pitcher plant, red lantern pitcher plant, Miranda pitcher plant, and Paulines pitcher plant, all of which were introduced into the botanical garden by Ye Han through different channels.

In addition, there are more than a dozen common types of Venus flytraps, including the beauty-toothed Venus flytrap, big-mouthed Venus flytrap, and flower market Venus flytrap, as well as different types of carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants, sundews, butterfly wings, and bladderworts, totaling more than 50 species and 200 plants introduced.

But these categories are still not enough.

Nepenthes are native to tropical regions such as Southeast Asia and Australia. Ye Han decided to import a batch from foreign countries.

She asked Wang Yun to find a channel to import more than 50 species and more than 200 pitcher plants from Australia. Once the transportation procedures and relevant quarantine procedures are completed, they can create a perfect carnivorous plant area.

Ye Han had done a clear calculation. Before introducing tropical plants, he removed the Epiphyllum, Water Lily and Orchid scenic spots. The remaining task goal was to introduce no less than 160 species and 1,100 plants.

Afterwards, 16 species and 25 trees of tropical plants were introduced, along with ferns, vines, etc., for a total of more than 300 trees.

There are 2 types of Paphiopedilum, Dream Paphiopedilum and Angel Paphiopedilum, 6 plants in total.

When the carnivorous plant area is completed, there will be 120 species and more than 400 plants, so only more than 20 species and less than 500 plants will remain.

You can plant some mosses and aquatic plants around the stream stones, and the quantity can be easily achieved.

Now we are just waiting for the pitcher plants to be imported from abroad, which is expected to take 2-3 weeks.

"Director, we have contacted the channel for lavender seeds." Wang Hongnian came to report, "About 1.5 kilograms of lavender seeds are sown per mu of land, and 70 mu of land has a total of 100 kilograms. The discounted price of high-quality seeds is 600 yuan per kilogram."

"There are also imported organic seeds from Europe, which are 1,500 yuan per kilogram, which is very expensive."

Ye Han thought for a while and said: "Then choose the seeds from their place of origin."

The cost of seeds is about 160,000 yuan. Fortunately, she does not have to pay rent for the land, which reduces the cost at once.

Compared with flower seedlings, seeds have the lowest cost, but they require corresponding care and attention.

Lavender grows very fast, with two sowing seasons in spring and autumn. It usually blooms in 4-5 months.

The current sowing time is a little later than in autumn, but it is still in time and will not affect the flowering period next year.

After the decision was finalized, Ye Han asked Wang Hongnian to do it and hired a group of people to do the sowing. He believed that by May next year, there would be a full sea of ​​lavender flowers to be harvested.

Calculated in this way, the total cost is about 100,000 yuan.

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

It takes about three years for tea trees to be harvested in small quantities, 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 Mr. Feng, the owner of the teahouse.

After the call, Mr. Feng replied: "8-year-old tea trees of good quality are about 50 yuan, and the price is cheaper if you order more. Choose double-row planting, 1,500 to 2,000 trees per acre, plant densely and fertilize regularly, and of course the yield will be good.

The cost is indeed not cheap.

Otherwise, you can buy tea seedlings, which are cheap, only a few dollars. "

It takes several years for tea seedlings to be picked, so Ye Han still plans to buy 8-year-old tea trees.

If we calculate it this way, the cost per mu is at least 70,000 to 100,000 yuan, and 30 mu is close to 3 million yuan.

It turns out that tea can be sold at a high price but not many people follow suit. There are reasons for this.

The cost of setting up a tea garden alone is beyond the reach of most people.

Ye Han took a deep breath. He had been spending a lot recently.

It cost 500,000 yuan to introduce osmanthus trees, 130,000 yuan for epiphyllums, 300,000 yuan for tropical plants, and the cost of introducing protected plants such as Podocarpus was also around 500,000 yuan, totaling 1.5 million yuan.

There is also the decoration of the beverage area, employee salaries, beverage raw materials, tea costs, etc., which are estimated to cost another million.

Fortunately, the sales of drinks, tea bags and annual cards are very high. She has not calculated the specific amount yet, but it is definitely far beyond expectations.

But 3 million is indeed not a small amount.

Ye Han was just about to compare and consider it, when Boss Feng suddenly lowered his voice and said, "My friend has some cuttings from mother trees. Do you want them? If you want, I can give them to you as gifts."

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

But even so, it's worth seeing.

A little-known fact: The longest swan feather is 2.33 meters long and weighs about 1.5 grams.

The density of the tea trees has been changed. There are 4,000 tea seedlings, but the density of 70-centimeter tea trees is not that high.
