"Fortunately, two more white butterfly clams were successful."
Li Shu separated the shells and meat of the dead white butterfly clams, and buried all the clam meat in the woods in the northwest of Neverland. In the soil of the tropical marine climate, the clam meat will completely change within a month. Nutrients are absorbed by plants.
As for the clam shells, he washed them all, put them in a big bucket and put them in the utility room. These things can later be ground into small clam shell balls or sold to make handicrafts.
Pa~
The villa is on the first floor below.
Li Shu moved a chair and placed it in front of the glass tank. Li Shu sat on it and crossed his hands. His eyes first stopped at two larger clams. These two clams were larger than the other clams and were darker in color. It exudes a thick smell, and it looks like an old clam at first glance.
"There are only two first-generation white butterfly clams left alive, but they already have large pearls in their bodies. I estimate that in 3 to 4 days, the pearls in these two clams will grow to a diameter of more than 22mm!
There are 88 second-generation white butterfly clams and more than 800 third-generation white butterfly clams! "
Pearl mussels reproduce very quickly in a glass tank, and a clutch can be born in almost half a day to a day. This is the result of the plum tree's strict population control.
"The third-generation pearl mussels have grown to about 5 centimeters. They take up too much space. Let's clean them up." Li Shu got up and got the big red bucket. He carefully entered the glass tank and picked up most of the third-generation pearl mussels into the bucket. , after picking up a bucket, they took them to the seaside in the northeast of Neverland.
The seaside here has a cliff 5 meters high from the sea. The sea water washes against the coast, and white waves are thrown up and then fall down.
The wind blew loudly and messed up Plum Tree's hair. He picked up a large number of small white butterfly clams from the bucket with both hands and threw them into the sea like sowing seeds: "Little white butterfly clams, go to the sea. Survive and grow up freely in the sea, maybe you can give me a surprise in the future."
800 white butterfly clams made Li Shu run back and forth several times. In the end, only 20 third-generation white butterfly clams were left to grow in the glass tank. The other 800 or so were thrown into the sea in the northeast. He felt that in the future The northeastern sea will form a pearl mussel production area.
Carrying the empty bucket back to the villa, the blazing sun in the sky made the plum tree unable to open its eyes. The water vapor on the island was evaporated in large quantities, and the weeds with long leaves became wilted, as if they were Lost a lot of moisture.
"Woof woof~"
The silly big yellow dog was circling in the open space on the right side of the villa door. It opened its mouth wide and wanted to bite its big tail. Unfortunately, the big tail seemed to be running too fast and he couldn't bite it at all.
In order to bite the tail, he could only move faster, but the faster it moved, the faster the tail moved. This was an endless cycle, and in the end the big yellow dog tired himself to death.
"Giggle, rhubarb is so cute!" The little girl was sitting on a small bench in the shade, wearing a pink skirt like a little princess, with a happy smile on her pretty face and a silver bell-like laughter.
"This silly dog." Li Shu couldn't laugh or cry. He looked around. The sky was high in the distance and the clouds were pale, and the heat was steaming nearby: "Where's Uncle Hai?"
"Uncle Hai took a boat to Danguan City. He said that the sesame oil on the island is gone." The little girl said cutely, and then she asked with a little face: "Brother, are you finished with your work?"
"We're almost done, what's the matter?" Li Shu walked to the shade, placed the red bucket at the base of the wall, and squatted down next to his sister.
Li Shu only needs to feed the white butterfly clam some chalcedony spiritual water every day and wait for the pearls in the white butterfly clam to grow up.
"Then... let's go pick durians in the woods. I want to eat durians!" A shy smile appeared on the little girl's pretty fair face, and she stretched out her two white and tender hands to shake Li Shu's arms.
"Okay, wait until I put the bucket back in the basement." Li Shu stood up and said with a smile: "If you don't want to sit down, just move the small bench back to the villa. The sun will soon reach this side and will destroy the small bench." Sun-cracked.”
"Yeah, I'll move it right away." The little girl stood up excitedly, picked up the huge bench and walked towards the villa. She looked quite funny holding the huge bench in her arms.
"Slow down and pay attention to the steps." Li Shu was like a heartbroken old mother.
After putting down the red bucket and washing his hands carefully, Li Shu took the little girl's hand and walked towards the woods in the northwest of Neverland. Rhubarb ran in front like a general opening the way, stopping from time to time to smell here and there.
Chirp Chirp ~
Chirp ~ Chirp ~
Yeah~ Yeah~
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming large and small spots of light. Many birds are chirping freely, and the sound has completely overwhelmed the majestic sound of the cicadas.
Uncle Hai spent a lot of time clearing the weeds and shrubs in the forest, so the forest now looks quite refreshing. Stepping on the rustling leaf litter, the brother and sister and the rhubarb came to the durian tree and tied them with colorful ropes. The durian looks a bit like a wishing card tied to a wishing tree.
"Any durian stalks that have been separated from the branches and the durians are completely hanging in the air by colorful ropes are mature. Let's see which one you want to eat?" Li Shu looked up and found that at least three durians were ripe, ranging in size from big to small. , the unique fragrance of durian in the air became stronger.
Of course, in the eyes of people who don't like to eat durian, the air is not filled with fragrance, but with a stink.
"I... I can't see clearly." My sister is only 4 and a half years old now, still a little girl. She raised her head and jumped around, but it didn't have much effect.
"Haha." Li Shu was amused by the jumping sister. He bent down to pick her up and let her sit on his right shoulder: "Can you see it now? Look to the left, isn't there a ripe durian? , as well as the front right and a little south on the left... "
"I saw it, um... Uncle Hai is not here, and we are the only ones eating, so let's pick a smaller one." The little girl sat on the shoulder of the plum tree, pointed to a durian on the left and said, "Pick that One! Chi Liu~ Yes, that’s the one.”
"Okay." Li Shu put down his sister, then carefully identified the colorful rope tied to the tree trunk, then untied the target colorful rope, slowly let go, and the durian tied to the other end of the colorful rope slowly fell to the ground.
"The thorns on it are hard." My sister ran over excitedly and gently stroked the durian's hard thorns.
"Be careful of pricking your hands." Li Shu walked over, untied the rope, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his pants pocket. Plastic garbage cannot be thrown around in the forest, otherwise it will easily pollute the soil.
"Here, let me open it for you." Li Shu used both hands hard, and the durian was split into two halves, and the two large pieces of durian flesh were instantly exposed to the air.
"It smells so good, ahh~" The younger sister's face was full of excitement. She picked up a piece of durian and took a big bite. Her watery eyes narrowed with happiness: "It's soft and waxy, delicious!"
"Eat slowly, I see you have durian pulp on your chin." Li Shu smiled and lovingly helped his sister wipe the pulp off her chin.
