Three Hundred and Sixty-Eight. The Cold Snap Is Coming

Qin Shiou was very happy when the cleaner shrimp came to the fishery, which showed that the ecosystem of the fishery was becoming more and more perfect.

The thing to do now is to keep these cleaner shrimp, and to keep the cleaner shrimp, you have to keep the lesser fulmar alive.

After dawn, the short-tailed fulmars fly to the sea in groups to look for food.

Qin Shiou used the sea god consciousness to control the arctic shrimp to float to the surface of the water to let them hunt. The predation ability of the small short-tailed fulmar is too poor. If they rely on themselves, they will probably starve to death in a few days.

There are countless arctic shrimps in the fishing ground. These shrimps have amazing reproductive ability and fast growth. They were bred in the late spring, and now they have begun to expand the population. After a while, Qin Shiou plans to catch arctic shrimps and start selling them.

Possibly due to the improvement of Poseidon's energy, the arctic prawns in the fishing ground grow much faster than their wild counterparts.

In addition to controlling arctic shrimps to raise fulmars, Qin Shiou gradually approached them, fed the little fulmars until half full, and then he sailed into the group of fulmars.

Naturally, the short-tailed fulmar would fly away in terror, but Qin Shiou, Shaq and others then scattered arctic shrimp, small herring, small mackerel, etc. from the fishing boat. It will fly back to hunt for food.

After a few feedings, the little short-tailed fulmars were no longer afraid of Qin Shiou's fishing boat, but when they saw the fishing boat appearing, they would happily surround them, forming a conditioned reflex.

After gaining the trust of the small short-tailed fulmars, Qin Shiou purposefully introduced their night habitat into the small woods at the southeastern end of the fishing ground.

There are a large number of maple trees, pine trees, spruces, redbuds, golden-leaf metasequoia, red-leaf plum, red maple, golden-leaf Chinese pagoda tree, purple-leaf red cotinus, blue ice cypress and other trees in this forest. It can also maintain a lush green state in winter. Can shelter from wind and snow.

In addition, Qin Shiou also found inspiration from his hometown vegetable garden.

In my hometown, I have to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden even in winter. In order to prevent the cold north wind from freezing the vegetable seedlings, it is best to plant them in late autumn every year. Vegetable farmers will dig a ditch in the north of the vegetable field, then bundle the corn stalks together, and plant them straight in the ditch to keep out the north wind.

Qin Shiou used a similar method. He hired someone to block the north of the grove with a windshield net, and put a lot of dry thatch in the grove.

In this way, at night, the little short-tailed fulmars can hide in the thatch to avoid the cold and keep warm. As long as the farewell island does not encounter the kind of cold winter that happens once in fifty years or once in a hundred years, the little short-tailed fulmars can live until the beginning of spring next year without pressure. .

These preparations have been carefully made,

Qin Shiou felt that it was almost done. He can only do this, if the little fulmar still can't handle the cold, he has nothing to do.

The cold snap came faster than expected. On the night of early December, the wind and cloud suddenly changed, and the lazy sea breeze suddenly turned into a howling cold wind.

Qin Shiou woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, and Wei Ni hugged him like an octopus in his arms, which seemed to be very cold.

Turning on the air conditioner to adjust the temperature, Qin Shiou opened the window to see the situation outside. As a result, as soon as the window was opened, a gust of icy cold wind hit his face, and the old bird under his crotch was shivering.

"Day, it's so cold." Qin Shiou muttered.

Wei Ni on the bed stretched out her hand to touch it in a daze. Unable to find Qin Shiou, he closed his eyes and mumbled, "Honey, where are you?"

Qin Shiou jumped onto the bed and kissed her. Explaining, "I'm going to close all the windows and get back to sleep honey. It's all right."

What he was most worried about were the little short-tailed fulmars, who didn't know that they were in the thatch pile in the forest. How are the little short-tailed fulmars safe?

When I woke up the next morning, the air became extremely fresh, but it was also extremely cold. A layer of hoarfrost hung on the grass outside the villa, as if it had snowed lightly.

The bear's thick fur played a role at this time. It yawned and rolled around on the grass, probably feeling the coolness very well.

The tiger and the leopard couldn't bear it any longer. They no longer ran around outside like before in the morning, but got inside the house to keep warm.

Qin Shiou and Wei Ni ran to the beach, and when they reached the beach, a large group of short-tailed fulmars flew into the sky from the distant woods, full of vigor!

"Huh, not bad." Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief at Winnie.

Winnie also pursed her cherry lips and smiled excitedly. She nodded vigorously and looked at Qin Shiou with bright eyes.

"Stewardess uniform today."

"roll!"

The cold snap finally came, and the maple trees on the mountain began to drop their leaves, and the brilliant fiery maple leaves fell one after another, as if sparks were flying all over the mountains and plains. No wonder there is a poem saying, "Death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves", and it really feels like this.

In the morning, Qin Shiou and Byrd drove the helicopter around the fishing ground. A fishing boat entered the range of Daqin Fishing Ground.

"It seems that they know that this is a private fishing ground, so why come to my place?" Qin Shiou said gloomily.

If there is one, there are two. Not surprisingly, many people will come to fish secretly as the catches begin next year.

After returning to the fishing ground, Weir waited for him with a middle-aged man. The two sides shook hands. Weir introduced him and said 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 wanted to build was a private airport that could accommodate two fixed-wing aircraft.

Weir discussed with the engineer for half an hour, and then gave a suggestion with reference to the map of the fishing ground.

The private airport is best located in the original cod fishing ground, because that place has the hardest geology and is close to the steep wall area of ​​Farewell Island, where the two chemical plants were originally built.

In addition, Weir said that it is enough to build the airport into a T-shaped double runway, so that the two ends of the top of the T-shaped head can be used as hangars and watchtowers, and the extended lower part can be used as a runway. The open space on both sides can also be used, and it can be trimmed into a garage or the like.

Qin Shiou felt that the idea was feasible, and asked Weir when construction could start.

Weir was full of energy, and said, "We can start construction right away, and take advantage of winter, buddy, because the permafrost layer is the hardest at this time, and a lot of cement can be saved."

The engineer also nodded and said: "It does save materials, but relatively speaking, the current labor cost will be more expensive."

Weir shook his head and said, "That's no problem. Qin and I are old partners, and the same labor cost is enough. My guys are also willing to work for Qin, the settlement is fast, and bonuses are also given. If Qin didn't intend to enter the construction industry, Then my old buddies have already run under his command."

Qin Shiou laughed and had a joke in the meeting. This matter was settled. Auerbach and Weir signed the contract. Qin Shiou asked Winnie to call Jennifer and transfer the first batch of 4 million Canadian dollars to Weir. Payment, purchase materials and prepare to start work.

The cold current came very quickly, and the arctic wind blew over at the beginning of the month. Within two days, a light snow fell.

Qin Shiou sat at the door of the villa and snuggled up with Xiong Da, watching the snowing scene quietly, with a special feeling. (To be continued..) u
