Li Shu went to the utility room and dug out the 100 white butterfly clam shells that he had put away last time. A white butterfly clam has two clam shells. Each clam shell is thick and large, and the inner side is white and moist. Like white jade.
"I'll knock it." Li Shu squatted on the ground and used a small steel hammer to break open a clam shell. The cracked clam shell formed 4-5 fragments, most of which were about the size of a thumb.
Pick up a piece of clam shell fragment and put it into the 3 cm * 3 cm small hole of the clam shell ball mill, close the outer door of the small hole, and then turn the switch to the far left.
Buzz buzz~
The clam shell ball mill that had been powered on began to make a buzzing sound. The blades inside it began to cut the clam shell fragments frantically, and the whole machine began to tremble violently like a convulsion.
"Why is this clam shell ball mill the same as the washing machine my grandma used to have? It starts shaking like crazy as soon as it starts working." Li Shu pressed the clam shell ball mill with both hands and tried to slow down its shaking.
Patapapap~
Suddenly there was the sound of paws running across the floor in the corridor on the first floor, and soon a dog's head poked in from behind the door.
"Woof~" Dahuang pricked up his ears and barked softly, as if calling Li Shu to go out and play.
"Dahuang, I don't have time to play with you now. I promised to give you pearls. Now I have to cultivate the pearls as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be beaten to death." Li Shu turned his head and explained slightly.
Patapapap~
The big yellow dog jumped directly in front of the squatting plum tree, thrust its long mouth forward, and stretched out its big tongue to lick plum tree's face.
Fortunately, Li Shu was quick and evaded Rhubarb's tongue attack by shaking his head. He raised a hand to push Rhubarb away and scolded with a smile: "You silly dog, go away, what? You still want to wash my face?" Huh? Go, go, go and play by yourself."
"Woof~"
The big yellow dog raised its butt and opened its big mouth in a swooping motion. Its teeth were white and stylish under the light, as if it was trying to scare the plum tree.
The big tail whirred a few times, and it seemed to know that Li Shu couldn't play with it, so it turned around and ran away.
"This silly dog..." Li Shu shook his head and laughed. His eyes were focused on the rusty clam shell ball mill again. The vibration of the latter had been greatly reduced, and he let go of his hand.
Soon, the clam shell ball mill stopped shaking completely.
Pa~
Turn off the power and open the outer door with a small hole, and a rising stream of clam shell powder will come out.
He poured everything in the small hole of the ball mill onto the floor next to him, and found a small clam shell ball with a diameter of about 1 mm among a pile of clam shell powder.
Rinse the clam shell ball clean with water. Li Shu said slowly: "It is indeed a perfect circle. Put it with part of the white butterfly clam tissue and put it in the mature white butterfly clam. The white butterfly clam will continue to secrete pearls around the small ball. quality.
The originally liquid nacre will continue to solidify on the surface of the clam shell balls, causing the nacre formed by the nacre to become thicker and thicker, turning into larger and larger pearls. "
Li Shu found a small porcelain dish with a diameter of 10 centimeters and put the clam shell ball inside.
"Keep up the hard work and grind out a large number of clam shell balls." Li Shu rolled up his sleeves, picked up another piece of clam shell and threw it into the small hole of the ball mill, turned on the power and started working.
Buzz buzz~
The familiar vibration sounded again on the first floor of the villa.
The little girl's room.
The little girl woke up slowly after a deep sleep all night, blinked her eyes, and found that there was no blackbird on the quilt. Then she looked up and looked around, and found that the gray-brown blackbird was standing on the bedside table, tilting its head and arranging the feathers on its back with its sharp beak.
"Tweet~"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl looking at him. The thrush looked back at her, and then continued to turn its head to arrange its feathers. Its pointed beak was like the teeth of a comb, arranging the feathers neatly.
"It's great to have you with me, otherwise I would have been worried that Ah Piao would look for me at night." The little girl showed a satisfied smile. After getting up, she went to wash up alone. Due to the changes in the family, the little girl became very independent. , while other children are still clinging to their parents' arms and acting like babies, she can basically take care of herself.
After washing, the little girl took the thrush and went upstairs and downstairs to look for the plum tree. When she couldn't find it, she asked Dahuang who was lying at the door on the first floor. She saw the little girl walking towards her, Dahuang's chin still resting on the floor. But the big furry tail had already begun to rise and fall, making a slap on the floor.
Obviously, Da Huang likes the little girl very much.
"Dahuang, have you seen my brother?" The little girl released the thrush from the villa and let it go to the woods to look for food. She turned around and squatted beside Dahuang's head, stretched out her little hand to touch Dahuang's dog head, "Your dog's head It's really big, bigger than my head."
Dahuang couldn't understand what the little girl said, and the dog's face was full of confusion.
Li Shu spent an hour making 100 clam shell balls, then walked out of the negative floor to find the little girl, and went to Uncle Hai's villa in the southeast of Neverland for dinner.
There are two villas in Neverland. The northeast villa is occupied by Li Shu, a little girl. The villa in the southeast is occupied by Uncle Hai.
"His ha~" When going to Uncle Hai's residence, the little girl took a deep breath: "The air quality on the island is good, very fresh, eh~ I saw seagulls on the horizon, brother, those are seagulls. Bar?"
Li Shu looked east in the direction of the little girl's finger. With his best eyesight, he could see groups of streamlined seabirds flying in the distance.
"Yes, that's the seagull."
"By the way, sister, after dinner, brother still has work to do, so I may not be able to play with you."
"Yeah, I understand." My sister even agreed.
Breakfast was white rice and meat porridge, which tasted very good. After drinking two large bowls, Li Shu returned to the first floor of the northeast villa and began to perform operations on each of the large white butterfly clams - combining small clam shell balls with a small strip of soft tissue. , put into the body of the giant clam.
This is a delicate job, and since it was the first time for him to do it and he had no experience, Li Shu did it very carefully, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
"I have high hopes for these pearl clams, little pearl clams, please don't let me down."
Throughout the morning, Li Shu was busy putting pearl nuclei into the bodies of the white butterfly clams. Although it was hard work, it was worth it. There was also something that made Li Shu happy - a large number of small white butterfly clams appeared in the glass tank. .
“There are so many babies born, hiss~ I don’t have to buy white butterfly clams anymore, I’m happy!”
In one morning, he successfully placed bead nuclei into 80 white butterfly clams. As for the final survival rate... Li Shu was originally more confident. After all, chalcedony spiritual water can greatly stimulate the activity of white butterfly clams, and he also I completely followed the highly praised answers on the Internet, but the reality slapped me in the face.
In just one afternoon, 40 white butterfly clams died, and 32 more died the next day. By the third day, only 2 were still alive.
Li Shu's heart was bleeding. Looking at the shocking scene in the glass jar, his lips were trembling slightly: "The death rate is too high."
