368. The cold snap is coming
Qin Shiou was very happy when the fishing ground came to clean shrimps, which shows that the fishing ground's ecosystem is becoming more and more perfect.
What we need to do now is to keep these clean shrimps, and to keep the clean shrimps behind, we must keep the life of the small short-tailed squid.
After dawn, the short-tailed pisses flew to the sea in groups to find food.
Qin Shiou used the consciousness of the sea god to control the Arctic shrimp to float to the water to let them prey. The small short-tailed turtle has too poor prey ability. If they rely solely on themselves, they would probably starve to death in a few days.
There are countless Arctic shrimps in the fishing ground. The reproduction ability of these shrimps is amazing and growing at a fast speed. They are breeding in late spring and have begun to expand their populations now. After a while, Qin Shiou plans to catch Arctic shrimps and start selling them.
Perhaps it is an improvement in the energy of the Sea God, and the Arctic shrimps in the fishing grounds grow much faster than their wild counterparts.
In addition to controlling Arctic shrimps to raise short-tailed pisses, Qin Shiou also gradually approached them and fed the small short-tailed pisses half full. Then he drove the boat into the short-tailed pisses.
Naturally, the small short-tailed pirate would fly away in horror, but Qin Shiou, Shaq and others then scattered Arctic shrimps, small herrings, small mackerels, etc. from the fishing boat. The small short-tailed pirate was very naive and had no warning to humans, so they would fly back to prey.
After several feedings, the little short-tailed pisses were no longer afraid of Qin Shiou's fishing boats. Instead, they would happily surround them, forming conditioned reflexes.
After gaining the trust of the small short-tailed gulls, Qin Shiou purposefully introduced their night habitat to the grove at the southeast end of the fishing ground.
There are a large number of maple trees, pine trees, spruces, brutus, golden-leaf metasequoia, red-leaf plums, red maple, golden-leaf Chinese locustard, purple-leaf red-leaf red-leaf blue cypress and other trees in this forest. Many tree species are very cold-resistant and can maintain lush green leaves even in winter and shelter from wind and snow.
In addition, Qin Shiou also found inspiration from his hometown vegetable garden.
In my hometown, even in the winter, we have to grow vegetables. In order to avoid the cold north wind freezing the seedlings, every year in late autumn, vegetable farmers will dig a trench in the northern part of the vegetable field, and then tie the corn stalks together. Plant straight into the trench to block the north wind.
Qin Shiou used a similar method. He hired people to block the north of the grove with a wind shelter net and put a lot of dry thatch into the grove.
In this way, at night, the little short-tailed turtle can get into the pile of thatched trees to avoid the cold and keep warm. As long as you say goodbye to the island this year, don’t encounter the cold winter that is once in a fifty or a hundred years, the little short-tailed turtle can live until the beginning of spring next year without any pressure.
After carefully making these preparations, Qin Shiou felt that it was almost done, so he could only do these things. If the little short-tailed turtle still couldn't withstand the cold wave, he would have no choice.
The cold wave came faster than expected. At the night of early December, the wind suddenly changed, and the lazy sea breeze suddenly turned into a howling cold wind.
Qin Shiou woke up in the middle of the night, and Winnie hugged him like an octopus in his arms, which seemed very cold.
Turning on the air conditioner to adjust the temperature, Qin Shiou opened the window to see what was going on outside, but as soon as the window opened, a cold wind came towards him, and the old bird under his crotch shivered.
"Sun. So cold." Qin Shiou muttered.
Winnie on the bed reached out and touched her. She couldn't find Qin Shiou, so she closed her eyes and shouted vaguely: "Dear, where are you?"
Qin Shiou jumped onto the bed and kissed her, explaining: "I'll close all the windows and go to bed, my dear, it's okay."
What he was most worried about was the little short-tailed pirates. He didn't know how safe the little short-tailed pirates were among the thatched piles in the woods.
I woke up the next morning. The air became particularly fresh, but it was also particularly cold. The grass outside the villa was covered with white frost, just like it was snowing.
The big thick fur of the bear played a role at this time. It rolled around on the grass while yawning, probably thinking that the coolness and refreshing feeling was very good.
Hu Zi and Leopard couldn't bear it anymore. In the morning, they no longer ran around outside like before, but instead got into the house to keep warm.
Qin Shiou and Winnie ran to the beach. Just as they arrived at the beach, a large group of short-tailed pisses flew up from the woods in the distance, full of vitality!
"Huh, that's not bad." Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief at Winnie.
Winnie also smiled with her cherry lips excitedly. She nodded vigorously and looked at Qin Shiou's eyes with bright eyes.
"The flight attendant is in uniform today."
"roll!"
The cold current finally came, and the maple trees on the mountain began to fall off their leaves, and the bright maple leaves fell one after another, as if Mars were flying all over the mountains. No wonder there was a poem saying "Death is as quiet as autumn leaves". It really felt like this.
In the morning, Qin Shiou and Bird drove a helicopter to the fishing ground for a walk. A fishing boat entered the area of the Daqin fishing ground. The helicopter flew over and did not use radio calls. The counter-attack had already turned around and left.
"It seems they know this is a private fishing ground, so why are you here?" Qin Shiou said depressedly.
There are ones and two. If nothing unexpected happens, as the catch is produced, many people will come to fish secretly.
After returning to the fishing ground, Weill took a middle-aged man to wait for him. The two sides shook hands. Weill introduced that the middle-aged man was an engineer who had participated in the design and construction of Ottawa International Airport.
Qin Shiou explained that what he was going to build was a private airport that could accommodate two fixed-wing aircraft.
Weir and the engineer discussed for half an hour, and then gave a suggestion based on the map of the fishing ground.
The private airport is the best location in the original cod fishing ground, because the geology of that place is the hardest, close to the steep wall area of the farewell island, where the two chemical factories were built.
In addition, Weill said that the airport can be built into a T-shaped double runway, so that the top of the T-shaped head can be made into a hangar and a watchtower, and the extension lower part can be used as a runway. The open space on both sides can also be used, and trimmed into a garage or something.
Qin Shiou felt that this idea was feasible and asked Weier when he could start construction.
Weir was energetic and said, "We can start construction soon. In the winter, man, because the permafrost layer is the hardest at this time, and it can save a lot of cement."
The engineer also nodded and said, "It's really cheap, but relatively speaking, labor costs are more expensive now."
Weier shook his head and said, "This is no problem. Qin and I are old partners, so the same labor fee is enough. My friends are willing to work for Qin, settle quickly, and give bonuses. If Qin hadn't intentionally entered the construction industry, then my old friends would have already run to his command."
Qin Shiou laughed and joked, but the matter was decided. Auerbach and Weier signed a contract. Qin Shiou asked Winnie to call Jennifer and gave Weier the first batch of 4 million Canadian dollars to buy materials and prepare to start construction.
The cold current came very quickly, and the cold wind of the Arctic blew at the beginning of the moon. Within two days, a light snow fell.
Qin Shiou sat at the door of the villa and snuggled with Xiong Da, quietly watching the snow scene, which made him feel a different feeling. (To be continued)
