I Have a Safari Park

The bucket is also called Dadou. It is surrounded by wooden boards on all sides and has an opening at the top.

Dad Tang is gearing up: "Look at my skills, have you been unfamiliar over the years!"

He picked up a handful of rice and raised it high over his shoulders, with the ears of rice hanging down behind him.

Then, like a knife, go forward and slash hard!

The ears of rice swung forward from behind and slammed into the beater board, the beater board made a humming sound, and then the grains of golden and full rice jumped into the bucket.

Dad Tang shook the rice straw, the blades rubbed and made a "squeaky" sound, then lifted it up and slammed it on the beater again.

Very rhythmic tossing a few times!

Many parents and tourists who did not participate in the farming activities and just watched the fun gathered around curiously: "What is this for?"

Dad Tang explained with a smile: "This is threshing millet! The millet is threshed, then dried and hulled. That's the rice we eat."

Someone on the side stretched out his thumb and praised: "It looks like a veteran! I'll try it after my brother finishes playing."

Some of the parents came from the countryside. They also did farm work when they were young, and at least they have seen how their elders did farm work.

The children are basically grown up in the city, and they look very fresh!

This time, I learned from the beginning to the end, how the rice I ate appeared on the table.

Dad Tang shook the straw, then picked it up and observed: "Well, this one has been beaten clean."

He put the rice straw on the pile of rice that had been cut in the rice field next to him, shook his arms twice, and sighed: "I really lack exercise now, sitting in front of the computer every day and hitting the rice twice will make my arms sore! Brother, come on! "

The parents who were so excited just now took over the position and called for the child to bring a handful of rice: "Haha, I'll play twice too!"

Compared with harvesting, threshing rice is much more tiring. It is a labor-intensive and technical job!

If the posture is wrong, or the force is too strong, it may cause back pain after playing for a while.

Skilled farming veterans can control the rhythm and intensity of their rice paddies, so that they won't get tired quickly.

At present, threshing machines or automatic harvesters are basically used for threshing rice, which saves time and effort. Only a few areas still use this traditional method for threshing rice. Getting a bucket here is also ready for the children to experience it. Is it a full set of farming experience?

However, the children have not had time to experience it, and the parents are very excited to play!

The line up to beat the rice is in full swing. The rice is beaten on the board, and the "bang, bang, bang" sounds non-stop, and the grains below are also more and more.

This time, it's the children's turn to cheer on their parents. I just got tired from cutting the rice, so I can take the opportunity to rest for a while.

Put the sickle on the ridge next to it and drink two sips of water!

Qian Keke suddenly cried out in surprise: "Hey, frog!"

In the field, a frog seemed to have been disturbed, jumped and jumped over her muddy instep.

When the children nearby heard it, they all gathered around and watched curiously!

They all come to the zoo often, and they are very kind to all kinds of animals, and they will not be suddenly startled by such small animals or insects. Even snakes have a certain degree of tolerance.

Fang Ye also walked over: "Come on, there is no frog, come and see! Don't get too close to scare it, let's keep a little distance!"

He called everyone to come and watch, and explained with a smile: "Now our fields are attracting frogs, which is really good.

In fact, there is also a very complex ecosystem in the rice field!

First and foremost, of course, is rice. They are the producers in the rice fields. They continuously absorb nutrients from the soil, synthesize organic matter through sunlight, and finally deliver nutrients to the grains.

They are equivalent to energy factories in rice fields, providing a source of food and shelter for other animals as well.

There are many insects that feed on rice, such as locusts, rice planthoppers, and borer moths, which will affect the harvest of rice fields! "

The children are all around, listening carefully!

Fang Yedao: "But in a paddy field with a healthy ecosystem, there is no need to worry too much, because there are many beneficial agricultural organisms in the field, which can control the number of these 'pests'.

The most common is all kinds of frogs!

They lay their eggs in the water, and they are a pile of them all their lives. The hatched tadpoles grow up in the water and turn into frogs. The number of frogs is large and their food intake is not small. They are the main force of predatory pests! Can be called farmland guardian.

In the fragrance of rice flowers, say the harvest year, and listen to the sound of frogs!

But now, due to the heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers, frogs can no longer be seen in many farmlands, and they can no longer be heard one after another in summer nights.

The emergence of frogs in our rice fields is a sign that the ecology is slowly recovering. "

The parents on the ridge could not help but be startled when they heard it!

In the city, I can’t help but miss the countryside. In summer, the wheat wave floats with the wind. At night, the Milky Way is starry. The fragrance of the soil after the rain.

I took my children back to the countryside several times, wanting to reminisce about my childhood, but I always felt that something was wrong.

It seems that the stars are not so bright at night, and the soil is not so fragrant. Thinking about it now, it's as if the frogs' calls were really not heard!

I thought I had been in the city for a long time, my mind was impetuous, and I couldn't get down.

But listening to Fang Yeyi's words, I vaguely feel that the countryside is really different now than when I was a child.

Compared with the melancholy adults, the children are in a happy mood.

This rice is grown by myself!

Looking at the frog in the rice field, because of Fang Ye's soothing skills, the frog sitting still, like watching his favorite baby, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and there was a small sense of joy.

I usually stroll around the zoo, and I also know that many animals in the storybooks are not so good in their living conditions, and can even be said to be in jeopardy.

Sometimes I get frustrated, I want to do something, and there is always a feeling of powerlessness.

Every day we talk about protecting the environment and protecting animals. How come there are more and more endangered animals? In these ten or twenty years, will the Blue Star still be able to live in a hundred years from now?

Will by the time they have children, the environment has deteriorated beyond repair, and scientists officially declare that humans are about to become extinct?

Other environmental protection cases are too far away from them. Frogs grow in the rice fields they planted. This happened right under their noses, and they witnessed the improvement of the environment with their own eyes.

For a time, full of yearning and longing for a better future.

Fang Ye laughed again: "Of course, frogs also have their own natural enemies, and they will attract snakes!

In addition to preying on frogs, snakes are also good at preying on mice. If there are snakes, there is no need to worry about the proliferation of mice and eat all the rice.

Frogs and snakes attract egrets. They are also frequent visitors to the rice fields. Egrets and pond herons like to visit the rice fields during the day, and they are the home of night herons at night!

You see, these creatures in the rice fields naturally form a food chain. "
