Chapter 130: Dast Goes to the Island

Next.

Ye Luo woke up early, felt a faint numbness in his arm, turned his head to look, and found a sleeping Scarlett like an octopus lying on his shoulder, Ye Luo had no intention of waking her up.

Instead, he gently raised his arm, held the back of Scarlett's head with the other hand, took the numb arm back, and then slowly let Scarlett's head rest on the pillow.

After doing this, Ye Luo got off the bed lightly, opened the window, breathed in the fresh morning air, and suddenly felt refreshed, and there was no trace of fatigue after the 'big war' on his face.

Then, Ye Luo walked to the side of the bed, lowered his head and kissed Scarlett's red lips lightly, and then left the room to take a bath.

When Ye Luo came out of the house after taking a bath, he saw a strong figure sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard at this moment, with a big pipe in his mouth and a happy smoke, it was the first employee he recruited yesterday, Daxter.

"Dude, it's early enough. Ye Luo greeted with a surprised smile.

Daxter also laughed and said, "No way, don't look at me I always like to stay in the bar, that's because I can't catch fish, and I can't find other jobs, but now that I've found a job, I naturally have to be diligent." ”

"Wait for me, I'll go back to the house and get something. ”

Ye Luo said a word to Daxter, turned around and went back to the house, and soon came out again, came to the pavilion with the contract and pen in his hand, and handed the contract over after sitting down: "Oh, this is the contract, you see what the problem is." ”

When Ye Luo came back yesterday, he felt that it was very troublesome for him to find someone to help him get the contract, so he went to a small shop that specializes in selling all kinds of contracts to buy it.

"No problem. ”

Dast took the contract and looked at it, and found that the contract was the same as what Ye Luo said yesterday, and he signed his name without hesitation.

"Eight thousand dollars, that's fantastic, I think it's going to surprise the people on Newfoundland. ”

Daxter has been muttering excitedly when he signed, and in Newfoundland, where the economy is generally sluggish, his pay is definitely high.

What really makes Dast happy is that his salary is a relief for his urgent needs, before he was completely desperate, and he was overwhelmed by his daughter's tuition, medical expenses and family living expenses.

After signing the contract, Dast couldn't wait to start work immediately, rubbing his big hands and asking Ye Luo, "Boss, what are we going to do now?"

Ye Luo smiled: "Don't worry, man, you know, our fishing ground is equivalent to building from scratch, there are too many things needed, such as fishing boats, fishing nets, housing, warehouses, docks, grain storage silos, oil depots, ice storage, etc. ”

"No problem, boss, I'll count the essentials first, and then I'll see where the seaside is good for these things." ”

Although Ye Luo can decide directly, he definitely doesn't have as much experience as Dust.

Maybe some of them he didn't even know what they were doing, or thought they were useless in Darst's eyes.

Therefore, he is too lazy to 'eat salty radishes and worry about it', it is definitely better to hand these over to an experienced person than a novice like him, and he only needs to be responsible for buying things from the mall with his own hands.

"It's okay, this one is in a hurry. Ye Luo smiled and suddenly asked, "By the way, why did you take your family over?"

Dast shook his head and said, "No need, I just live on the island." ”

"Why?" Ye Luo said curiously.

Dast hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it: "Boss, I'll tell you the truth, I came early, because I was afraid of waking you up, so I walked around the island, I have to say that the environment on the island is very good, so good that anyone can see it and have the intention of living, but the shortcomings are also obvious." ”

Ye Luo asked, "Tell me, I want to know what the shortcomings are." ”

Dast said: "It's too troublesome to go back and forth between the island and Newfoundland, although you can live on the island, but we who have children like us definitely can't bring children, mainly because children need to go to school, and there is no place on the island for children to learn, and there are too few people on the island, children lack playmates and other entertainment facilities, and they may not get tired of the novelty for a short time, but when the novelty passes, then the children will definitely not get used to it." ”

“……”

Dust's words silenced Ye Luo, and there was no room for rebuttal.

Admittedly, the environment on the island is very good, but after all, it can't be compared with Newfoundland, no, let alone Newfoundland, even the kind of town with a population of hundreds or thousands of people.

The 'software' is very strong, such as the environment, air, and atmosphere on the island make people very comfortable, and they don't have to worry about food.

But the 'hardware' can't keep up, such as some population, hospitals, schools, recreational facilities, etc., almost none of them exist on the island.

It can be said that the leafy island is more suitable for those who are tired of living in the hustle and bustle of the big city and want to change the environment to a cleaner environment.

And most of these people are middle-aged and elderly, like young people and children can't stand it.

What's more, humans are social 'animals', and few people want to live in such sparsely populated places.

If there is, then this kind of person is not so seen through the red dust, it is the kind of real hermit.

Don't look at Ye Luo's current residence on the island, but he really doesn't have anything to do with the two.

Compare your own island with the island of Newfoundland, and make a judgment.

Ye Luo pursed his lips bitterly: "I know, you also know the situation on the island now, these things will be considered when there are more people on the island in the future." ”

"I don't think you need to think about that, boss. Daxter gave his opinion.

"Huh?" Ye Luo was puzzled.

"No one wants to live on an island unless it's the kind of island where people live for a long time, even if it's better than in a big city. ”

Dast sighed and said, "There are very few jobs that can be done on the island, and they are basically the kind of manual work that cannot be compared to the city, such as traveling, shopping, and even having fun. It's a hassle to do anything, and it's nowhere near as convenient as being in the city. ”

"It doesn't matter, these circumstances will change more or less in the future. ”

Hearing Daxter say this, Ye Luo smiled and didn't say anything like a guarantee.

At this time, he couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake for him to choose this kind of island in the vast sea in the first place.

Why don't you choose an island that is closer to the mainland?

Now it's too late for Ye Luo to regret it.

It's just that Ye Luo will regret it?

No.

Ye Luo does not regret his choice.

Although the island and the city cannot be compared, it has its own way of life.

Moreover, the original purpose of leaf fall is very clear.

Get away from the crowds.

He has a system in him, and in order not to be discovered, he will definitely choose this kind of place where there are not many people.

In addition, there are too many secrets on the island, and he still doesn't know how many things he doesn't know, so naturally he won't let too many people live in, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited only one Dast yesterday when there were so many people in the bar.

"Don't talk about that. ”

Daxter felt that Ye Luo's interest was not high, so he changed the topic intimately: "By the way, boss, I saw it just now, those maple trees planted on the island are very good, I don't know how many years, if the year is high, you can boil maple sugar." ”

"Boil maple syrup?" Ye Luo was a little interested.

"Maple syrup is lower in calories than sucrose, fructose, corn sugar, etc., but the calcium, magnesium and organic acids contained in it are much higher than other sugars, and the calcium content in maple syrup is as high as 10%, which is comparable to milk, so boss, it is good to drink more maple syrup. Dast explained.

As we all know, Canada is rich in maple leaves, people have a deeper affection for maple leaves, and take it as a national symbol, from the national flag, national emblem, national flower, to the people's daily necessities, maple leaf patterns abound, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Canadians are particularly fond of maple trees, not only for their ornamental value, but also because they can be used to make syrups for people to enjoy.

Ye Luo knew these things, and he knew that there was a maple sugar festival in Canada, but he didn't know how this thing was made.

It was because he knew that he chose to plant maple trees on the island, but he didn't expect that Newfoundland would have the habit of boiling maple sugar like Canadians.

The leaves are a little bit of a bull's horn.

When people think of Canada, the first thing that comes to mind is maple trees, but that doesn't mean there aren't maple trees anywhere else in Canada.

Comparatively speaking, people in the rest of the world simply don't love or even love maple trees as much as Canadians.

The maple tree is a national treasure for Canada.

It's like when you talk about giant pandas, everyone knows that they are a national treasure of China.

Anyone can grow maple trees, and Canada has no restrictions on planting maple trees.

The giant pandas, a national treasure, are always owned by China, and even if they can be seen in zoos in other countries, it is only because there is a lease contract, and they will be transported back to China as long as the age is up.

If you want to rent it again.

Yes, give money!

……

Later, Daxter told him that the sap of the sugar maple tree can contain 7 to 10 percent sugar, and that maple sugar is actually quite a hassle to make, but collecting the syrup is very simple, first make a hole in the trunk of the maple tree, then insert a metal plug, then connect a plastic conduit, and finally the conduit is connected to the storage tank, and the sap flows in.

As long as the sap is collected and boiled simply, the syrup can be produced.

Ye Luo smiled: "Then teach me quickly, man, seriously, I can't wait." ”

"Although I would love to teach the boss, I have seen the maple trees on the island, and the trees are at most four years but less than five years old, and they can't collect sap. Daxter shook his head.

Ye Luo hurriedly asked, "How many years does it take for a maple tree to collect sap?"

Dast shrugged: "At least maple trees over 50 years old can collect maple sap, otherwise it is not good for the growth of the tree." In addition, it should be noted that the depth of the hole should not exceed the index finger, the diameter should be less than the width of the index finger, and it should be slightly tilted upward, and the sap collection should stop after ten minutes of collecting each hole. ”

Hearing that the maple trees on the island couldn't collect sap, Ye Luo was immediately uninterested, but he still remembered the details and collection methods that Dast said.

You must know that the maple trees on his island have only been planted for less than ten days, and they have grown to four years, so fifty years will only take about four months, which is very fast for him.
