Chapter 290 Unlocking the Grand Square (5)
After unlocking the Koi Pond, Chen Wenjiu originally planned to continue unlocking the Swan Lake. However, after looking at the Koi in the pond, she quickly changed direction and moved away from the Koi Pond to unlock the Swan Lake.
What if she put the Koi Pond and the Swan Lake together? What if the swans eat all the Koi in the future? Although she can spend money to buy Koi fry, she can't use Koi to feed the swans, right?
Chen Wenjiu walked to the completely opposite direction of the Koi Pond, and spent 300,000 to unlock the Swan Lake at the farthest place from the Koi Pond.
The Swan Lake is not as big as the Koi Pond. It is about 5 acres. The reeds, pampas grass, irises, lotus, etc. are similar to those on the Koi Pond. In fact, there are more reeds and pampas grass because of the swans' nesting.
There are three more big banyan trees next to the Swan Lake. In this way, the swans can also build nests on the banyan trees. Chen Wenjiu even saw some bird nests on the banyan trees that looked like they were built by birds themselves, but they looked more like human nests.
Swans are quite large, and they need bigger nests than other small birds. There are really big nests on the banyan tree.
"Huh?" Chen Wenjiu looked up and saw some birds on the huge banyan tree. It seems that not only swans live here, but other birds also seem to live here?
She seemed to see cuckoos, magpies, sparrows, and a bird whose scientific name Chen Wenjiu did not know, but which was very common in southern Qiongnan. It had a color similar to that of a goldfinch.
Chen Wenjiu once wanted to search for the names of the small birds that they often saw and caught when they were young, but she only saw goldfinch, waxbill and the like. However, she felt that these two birds did not seem to be the same as the ones they saw when they were young.
They called the small birds in the Miao dialect, and she did not know what the Mandarin name was, or what the scientific name was.
But now she saw this kind of bird on the tree.
This kind of bird is noisy in the eyes of the people in their village. In the past, they would call someone who is too talkative by the name of this bird.
She seemed to have not seen this kind of bird for a long time, but she didn't expect to see it now.
The pool on the Swan Lake side is also quite deep. Chen Wenjiu took a look and found that the water depth is about two meters, and the shallowest place is also one meter.
There are also some tilapia, grass carp, carp, and some common freshwater fish in southern Qiong in Swan Lake, all growing in this lake.
That's right, the fish, river snails, river shrimps, river crabs, river clams, etc. in this lake are all for the swans to eat, saving the artificial feeding of swans.
According to the system regulations, these freshwater river seafood in the river will not be eaten up by the swans, and money will be automatically deducted to replenish them, so that the swans will not starve.
Just like the group of koi in the koi pond, they don't need Chen Wenjiu and the hotel staff to feed them every day. The system has a natural feeding device that automatically feeds them every day. It only needs to deduct money from the hotel account regularly to replenish the feed.
Chen Wenjiu thinks it is very convenient and saves labor.
There are about 100 adult swans, 100 white swans and 100 black swans in Swan Lake. Basically, there are no young swans in Swan Lake. Probably, these swans need to reproduce themselves.
Swans are monogamous. After they successfully court and form a partner, they will accompany each other for life. Therefore, these more than 200 swans are all in pairs, and there are no single swans.
In fact, sometimes when you see white swans, you will feel that you have seen the big white geese raised in the village, but you can tell which one is a white swan and which one is a big white goose by looking at their necks.
The neck of the white swan will be longer, and the neck of the big white goose will be thicker and shorter, but the fighting power of the big white goose is also very strong, and their body size is also very large, which looks delicious.
After unlocking Swan Lake, Chen Wenjiu went to another direction, unlocking the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
This Big Wild Goose Pagoda has nothing to do with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an. Although it sounds like a pirated copy, it is actually the real "Big Wild Goose Pagoda", which is full of wild geese.
This Big Wild Goose Pagoda is about 10 stories high, and the first floor is about 200 square meters in size, and the higher it goes, the smaller it gets.
There are about 200 wild geese living in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and wild geese are also monogamous animals, so these 200 wild geese are also in pairs, and no one is single.
The 200 wild geese on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda side have their nests inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but in fact these 200 wild geese regard the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as a canteen, or a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Normally, they should live in the reed marsh next to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Well, like Swan Lake, since there are 200 wild geese in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, in order to make them feel at ease, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda also gave away several acres of reed marshes, which is the real residential area for wild geese.
Chen Wenjiu felt that his big square had suddenly turned into a forest park? No, it had turned into a wetland park? There was a koi pond and a swan lake, and now there were reed marshes where wild geese lived. It was almost the same as a wetland park.
But Chen Wenjiu thought that this was quite high. Who doesn't like wild geese and swans? Who doesn't like koi?
Chen Wenjiu could imagine that after the big square was opened, tourists would discover the existence of the koi pond, and then they would go to the koi pond to make wishes from time to time.
Whether koi can bless people to realize their wishes or not, whether it is as auspicious as Qilin and Pixiu, anyway, everyone thinks that koi is lucky, and worshiping koi and making wishes to koi will definitely make wishes come true.
Chen Wenjiu: "..."
In fact, she didn't know why the koi luck suddenly became popular. In ancient times, it seems that koi didn't bless people with good luck, right? Aren't auspiciousness and good luck mythical beasts like Qilin and Pixiu?
Chen Wenjiu didn't understand, but she still liked koi very much - just didn't know if koi tasted good. When she was reading novels, she seemed to have seen some protagonists eat koi and said it was delicious. But some protagonists ate koi and said that koi was not so delicious.
Chen Wenjiu no longer worried about whether koi could be eaten, and continued to unlock the land temple.
The land temple cost Chen Wenjiu 300,000 yuan to unlock. After unlocking, this temple of about 500 square meters was really simple and quaint, with a sense of majesty and solemnity.
There is a statue of the God of Land in the main hall of the temple. There is a big tripod in front of it, which should be used to put candles and incense. There seems to be nothing next to it.
In addition to this statue and the big tripod, there is also an offering table, which is the things in the main hall. In the side hall, there are some things like pouches and amulets, which should be regarded as the local specialties of the God of Land.
Chen Wenjiu took a look at the statue of the God of Land, took out three incense sticks from a cabinet at the door, lit them, and put them in the big tripod after worshiping.
After coming out of the God of Land Temple, Chen Wenjiu looked at the last project of the big square, the lanterns.
She looked at the time again. It was only early January, and there were about ten days before the Spring Festival. So the lantern project should be discussed during the Spring Festival. It was enough to prepare these things now.
