Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Unappreciative Platypus
(The second more, unconsciously almost 100,000 words, collection and recommendation are not ideal, even if you don't have a ticket, please remember to collect it, your support, is the driving force for me to insist, thank you!) )
According to his estimates, most of the green energy he has is the vitality of vegetation, and the intake of this vitality is not limited to a certain plant, but because of different plants, the strength will be different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is ingestion ......
As for use, Tang Yi also found some rules, that is, it can promote the growth of vegetation and heal wounds, but I don't know if it can be used by outsiders.
This conclusion will have to be verified before it can be confirmed.
"Squeak~squeak!"
Suddenly, there was a slight squeak by the lake, Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the source of the sound, a little black guy was lying on the river, carrying a duck-like head, looking at Tang Yi.
Wide-eyed staring.
One person, one ...... Platypus!
Seeing the soaked, black platypus lying on the edge of the lake, Tang Yi's eyes widened, when did this little guy come? Did it have before?
The little one is not big, just like a baby seal that has just been born for a long time, and the gray flutter has to fight with the ugly duckling in the fairy tale.
Tang Yi moved, the little platypus also moved its head, and looked at Tang Yi suspiciously, it didn't know what this guy wanted to do, but there was a breath that made it feel very comfortable to lure itself, and it came out of the house at the bottom of the lake.
The reason why Tang Yi moved was not to catch the little guy, but to take out his mobile phone from his pocket and search for the platypus.
In the past, when he watched the animal world, he had read reports about platypus once or twice, and he felt that these little guys were a bit like otters, but more like the legendary platypus, Tang Yi had only seen them by chance, and he didn't know much about them.
Search the encyclopedia's photos show that the platypus is this little guy, and there is no mistake, this species is only found in Australia, and it belongs to the existence of living fossils, as early as 180 million years ago in the Jurassic era.
The first people who discovered them also called them 'incredible animals', because they looked so strange, the duck's beak and body were like sea otters, and their whole body was covered with dense brown soft short hair, and when they swim, their eyes, ears, mouth and nose would automatically close themselves, and they would closely distinguish the direction of food by the miracle tissue on their mouths.
Their mouths are like a radar given to them by God, transmitting the subtle fluctuations produced by the movement of small fish and shrimp to distinguish the direction of food.
Platypus is also a typical foodie, having to eat food equivalent to its own body weight every day in order to survive.
Tang Yi looked up at the platypus lying on its stomach by the lake, a little thin, probably because he hadn't eaten in the river, and he had been hungry for a long time.
But Tang Yi was puzzled by ...... Where did the little guy run from, you must know that the middle of the lake road is also nearly a thirty-minute drive from the sea, and if a person walks, it will take more than an hour or nearly two hours to walk.
Did it really crawl here from the sea?
This perseverance is a little too strong.
Turned around and walked to the freezer and took out a piece of salmon meat, Tang Yi chopped them into minced meat, and then put them in a small bowl, and then returned to the lake, where the platypus was still lying on its stomach, but it had already come ashore, and was lazily combing its fluff there.
The fluff on its body is like a natural waterproof clothing, which will fit tightly together when it enters the water, and will gradually stretch out of the water.
It didn't take long for the little guy who had just looked a little craggy to turn into a fluffy guy who looked a little stupid and cute.
But the small eyes the size of sesame seeds are very smart, stealing a sense of cleverness.
This platypus is also the first alien animal on the island, Tang Yi was quite happy, and directly sprinkled all the fish in the small bowl on the lake.
The platypus glared at Tang Yi with small eyes, not understanding what this guy was doing, and then began to comb his fluff again, completely uninterested in those fish.
Seeing that the platypus didn't appreciate it, Tang Yi rolled his eyes angrily, it was not the first time he was rejected by an animal, the first time was the Belgian blue bull 'Big Mac' in Rose Manor, and now he was ignored by the platypus, Master Tang asked the sky speechlessly.
"If you don't eat it, will you, will the master beg you?"
With the small bowl in hand, Tang Yi went back to the room to sleep, he was too lazy to continue to stick his hot face to the platypus's cold ass, a thankless task, he could only do it once!
After he left, the platypus by the lake found that there was no one, and took advantage of the dark moon and high wind, swinging his stubby limbs, quietly touching like a thief, running to the side of the lightning strike wood, holding a lightning strike wood root thicker than himself and slowly falling asleep.
The green energy is transmitted to its body through the roots, and the hunger is slowly subsided.
The next day, it was sunny and sunny again.
Before Tang Yi woke up, there was a 'bang, bang, bang' engine sound from outside the villa, which was a bit like a domestic tractor starting below.
When I walked to the window, I saw that Lance was directing Thomas to warm up the small walk-behind cultivator.
Because this is a new cultivator, in the early stage of use, it has to go through running-in, Tang Yi was also going to buy one for his family, but because this guy is too heavy and not suitable for the terrain of the mountain city, it will be over.
Now that I have bought one, I can be regarded as fulfilling my original wish.
After washing, Tang Yi also came to the open space next to the house.
When Lance saw Tang Yi, he took the initiative to hand over the rest of the money to him: "Boss, there is no way to use a four-wheeled tractor to pull a cultivator on Huxin Island, so I bought a small and large four-wheeled cultivator outside, which cost a total of 18,600 dollars, and the boss gave a discount, otherwise it would cost hundreds of dollars!" ”
Tang Yi nodded and accepted the rest of the money, "Well, Uncle Lance, it's a good job, what about the seeds?" ”
As the employer of Lance and Thomas, Tang Yi still has a clear division of rewards and punishments, although Lance and they went to Port Arthur this time, it can be regarded as relatively fortunate, but this is also within the scope of work, Tang Yi is not prepared to tip them.
After all, the salaries of Lance and Thomas are not low.
Lance didn't care about any of this, anyway, he had a lot of monthly salary, and immediately reported, "The seeds don't cost much, they are very cheap, and the varieties are diverse."
These include tomatoes, cabbage, celery, lettuce, shallots, green onions, cauliflower, carrots, white radish, winter melon, pumpkin, cucumber, bitter gourd, sweet potato, potatoes, etc., a total of more than 30 varieties, three catties of seeds for each vegetable, costing more than 400 Australian dollars, and the odd boss wiped it, so there is only 1,000 Australian dollars left! ”
"Cheng, Uncle Lance, Thomas, fortunately, I will cook at noon to celebrate your victory" Tang Yi smiled and put the money in his pocket, and then asked: "Has the engineering team started?" ”
Lance smiled and said, "Of course, sir, are they standing there blowing the sea breeze if they don't start work?" ”
"Haha, let's go, follow me to the beach, Thomas, you continue to plow the land, remember, everything is safe!" Patting Thomas, who was spinning the new machine, Tang Yi pulled Lance away from the island in the middle of the lake.
On the other side of the island in the middle of the lake is a tractor that is at least twice as big as the desert prince, according to Lance, this tractor-type cultivator is actually a small farm tool, and there are almost no people in Tasmania or even the whole of Australia who use that kind of hand-held cultivator, and the workload of that thing is too low.
Tang Yi is very clear about this, there is no way, most of the pasture in Australia is relatively flat, and it is not strange to use super-large machinery to complete the cultivation, and it is not possible to buy it on the island in the future, but for now, the small four-wheeled tractor cultivator in Lance's mouth is enough.
Its role is not only cultivated land, but also includes sowing fertilizer, harvesting grass, sprinkling, spraying, etc., there are many functions, there are more than ten things, Tang Yi listened to it secretly smacked his tongue, Australia's agricultural development, and industrial development, should not be underestimated!
When Tang Yi and Lance came to the beach, Lei Ming, the owner of the dock construction company, was holding a walkie-talkie and directing the workers to unload the goods from the construction ship, because there was no deep-sea wharf on the island, and they had to use a small transport ship to transport the engineering tools little by little.
Some large machines have to be disassembled into several parts and then transported separately.
Others stayed on the shore to assemble machinery.
The Ocean Explorer team is like a huge machine, running at high speed in an orderly manner. They have also been idle for two months, and now they suddenly have big customers who can bring the company back to life, and they are all full of energy.
Obviously, these people also don't want the company to go out of business and lose their jobs......
After staying at the beach for a few minutes, Tang Yi looked at it from a distance and found that the coast had not changed, there was no seaweed or coral, and the bottom of the blue ocean was still gray.
There are so many shellfish debris on the beach that from a distance, it looks like a waste disposal plant, and it looks very messy.
Tang Yi walked around, and after releasing the green energy in his body, he didn't go to say hello to Lei Ming and delay other people's work, so he went home with Lance.
Ten days passed in a flash, like a white horse.
On the afternoon of August 1, David called Tang Yi and brought him good news.
"Don, all the paintings of Master Van Gogh have been bought and auctioned, and there are no first-class auctions, so we have shuffled up the original two sets of sketches into thirty-three separate copies, and guess what? Those rich people fought to get enough of their faces, and in the end they sold for 23 million just for their sketches, and the oil paintings also exceeded their expectations, buying them for 28 million, a total of 51 million, and I have already put them all into your account! ”
"Your auction house doesn't charge this time?"
Master Tang was surprised, the commission of three points is a lot, more than 50 million US dollars, one point is 500,000, and three points can draw out more than 1.5 million commissions!
"No, we can't draw, we have an agreement before, these two auctions are free, you know, it's a win-win situation, I don't want to be taken by other auction houses!"
David smiled and said, "Tang, I won't be exempt in the future, otherwise I don't think I will get my salary!" ”
"Dude, am I such a shameless person? Next time you draw five points, I can't even frown! ”
After a few polite words with David, Tang Yi hung up the phone.
