Views:

According to the design drawings, Neverland is divided into "West Neverland" and "Eastern Neverland" from the middle. West Neverland remains almost unchanged—the original style, with forests, shrubs, and wild grass.

East Neverland will be built like a city park, with neat stone roads, staggered gravel paths, and "artistic" trees, flowers and plants scattered at different heights. Finally, some big stones will be placed to make the stones more beautiful. Integrate with flowers, plants and trees.

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

"Ah~ After a busy day, eating iced watermelon is really comfortable!" Li Shu, Li Sha and the others ate watermelon with sand in it under the sunset, laughing and talking loudly, feeling relaxed and heroic after a busy day.

"It took three days to complete the construction of the drainage system and the three main roads running north and south. Our speed was already super fast." Uncle Hai wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth and said:

"But thanks to Boss Jing, this kid is really worth 10 people! Without him, I'm afraid the progress wouldn't be so fast."

"Hey, this is what I should do." Boss Jing touched his head in embarrassment.

Boss Jing's physique is very special. He only needs to rest for an hour or two every day. He used to spend a lot of time looking for ancient sunken ships on the seabed. Now he has stopped looking for sunken ships and instead spends a lot of time building East Dream Island.

"Haha, Boss Jing does the most work. When the construction of East Neverland is completed, I will give you a big red envelope, and everyone else will also have red envelopes!" Li Shu waved his hand and said with a smile.

Uncle Hai, Li Sha and others were instantly delighted.

The little girl who was eating watermelon also jumped up, raised her hands high and said: "Brother, I, I, I, I also contributed to the construction of Neverland, I also want a red envelope!"

"Pfft~ Okay, you have one too!" Li Shulian smiled and touched the little girl's little head.

A few days later, Li Shu and others finally built East Neverland like ants moving. When the last coconut tree was planted, Uncle Hai, Li Sha, Boss Jing and others all clapped excitedly. Come.

"There's a barbecue party tonight!" Li Shu waved his hand and said with a smile, and the atmosphere instantly became more lively.

After dinner, the sunset on the horizon had not completely dissipated, and the remaining afterglow was still shining on Neverland. Li Shu put his hands behind his back and started to visit "Eastern Neverland".

“The entire Neverland is oval in shape, with a long axis of 500 meters and a short axis of 300 meters, with a total area of 177 acres, or 118,000 square meters.

Baicao Garden is located in the center of the island. Taking the north-south straight line where Baicao Garden is located as the axis, Neverland is divided into "West Neverland" and "Eastern Neverland".

"West Neverland" maintains its original style, while "Eastern Neverland" has been turned into a city park. "Li Shu was walking on the 1.5-meter-wide north-south stone road, thinking to herself.

"Brother, brother, there is a big cocoa tree growing fruit!" The little girl suddenly ran out of the bushes on the right, shouting excitedly.

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Shulian took the little girl's hand and left the 1.5-meter-wide stone road and entered the 1-meter-wide medium stone road on the right. After walking for about 30 meters, he turned south and entered the 70-centimeter-wide stone road. , a winding path made of black and white stones.

A huge cocoa tree with a height of 12 meters and leaves that look a bit like peach leaves comes into view. Each olive-shaped fruit about 20 centimeters long is hanging on the trunk. At a glance, there are no less than a hundred of them.

"The cocoa tree is so beautiful, like a clump of mushrooms, and the big red fruits look very festive. I spent the chalcedony spiritual water to plant 15 cocoa trees in East Neverland." Li Shu said silently in his heart. Thinking.

"Brother, why are the fruits of the cocoa tree red?" The little girl raised her head like a curious baby.

"Well, this... There is a saying that the red fruits will be very obvious among the green leaves, which can attract animals to pick them and help them spread the seeds." The plum tree could see the novelty in the little girl's eyes, and even took her Pick her up and lift her up high so that she can touch the cocoa fruits on the tree.

"Hehe, the skin of this fruit is a bit hard, not as soft as the big orange cat's hair, and it's really big, much bigger than my hand." The little girl stroked the cocoa fruit with her little hands.

Li Shu raised the corners of his mouth and said: "There are a lot of cocoa beans in the cocoa fruit, and the cocoa beans can be made into chocolate. When these cocoa fruits mature in a few days, we will make chocolate."

The little girl looked confused. She squeezed the huge red cocoa fruit, which was about 20 centimeters long, but found that it couldn't be squeezed: "Cocoa beans? Chocolate?"

"Yes, you can easily understand it with an analogy, cocoa beans = wheat grains, chocolate = cake.

To make a cake, you must first grind wheat grains into flour, then add eggs, sugar, cream, etc., and after some processes, it becomes a delicious cake.

Making chocolate is similar. You need to grind the cocoa beans into powder, then add milk, sugar, almonds, nuts, etc., and after some processes, it becomes delicious chocolate. "Li Shu explained, putting her sister on the ground. The little girl is still young. More explanations will help her form a more scientific cognitive system.

"I understand!" The little girl was very happy.

East Neverland has three "main stone roads" running from north to south. These stone roads are 1.5 meters wide. The main stone roads are connected by "medium stone roads". These medium stone roads are 1 meter wide, winding and quite interesting. "fashionable".

The "medium stone paths" are connected to each other by "pebble paths". These gravel paths are 70 centimeters wide and are paved with small stones. Some are made of stones of different colors arranged to resemble a grass or a flower. The shape is very beautiful.

Roads divide the land into pieces. The land is paved with lawns, dotted with some half-meter-high flowers, one-meter-high shrubs, more than 2-meter-high mango trees, peach trees, apricot trees, and trees several meters or even ten meters high. Coconut trees, palm trees, cocoa trees, etc. are scattered and very beautiful.

"The sky is dark and gloomy. I'm afraid it's going to rain. Let's go back."

"OK.".

As soon as Li Shu and the little girl returned to the villa in the north, a huge lightning appeared in the sky. The lightning was as breathtaking as the roots of a tree, and then there was the muffled thunder. The heavy rain fell instantly, and the windows were crackling. .

"Meow~".

The big orange cat rushed towards the villa like an afterimage. Li Shulian opened the door for it, and with a gust of cold wind mixed with raindrops, the big orange cat rushed into the villa, then lay on the floor and licked its fur pitifully.

"Silly cat, you must have been caught in the rain." Li Shu said with a smile.

"Meow!" The big orange cat snorted unwillingly and continued to lick its hair. After a while, the hair was dry, and then he jumped on the sofa and lay down, looking out the window with a slightly sad look - the ants had just dug the ant nest. , it will rain again, I am afraid that the ant nest will be unsafe again!
