793.Sap Juice (3/6)
Shirley and the others are simple, but they are not brain-dead, and the big Lori asked with wide eyes, "How can it be tree sap?" Why do we know that so much sap is spilled? This must be its ......"
Qin Shiou interrupted her words, made a confident look, and said, "Of course it's tree sap, didn't your teacher tell you about cicadas?" ”
A group of children shook their heads stupidly, Qin Shiou secretly said Fortunately, fortunately, there are no cicadas in Canada in the summer, otherwise he would be embarrassed today.
In front of the child, he was urinated on by a cicada, and Qin Shiou felt that it hurt his majesty very much.
"OK, I'm here to popularize this knowledge to you, Niu Yang, has your teacher talked about it? They are ruminants. Qin Shiou said.
Michelle hurriedly said: "I know, we have learned, cows and sheep do not digest things directly after eating, they have four stomachs, which first enter the rumen for storage, and then ruminate later." ”
Qin Shiou gave this stupid kid a thumbs up and encouragement, very good, this is good, and the praise is level.
"Cicadas are the same, they are different insects, after absorbing the sap of the tree, they will first store it in a thing called or something, anyway, they will be stored first, and then digested when there is a lack of food, understand?" Qin Shiou said.
Explaining indiscriminately, Qin Shiou really wanted to praise himself, and his ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open became stronger and stronger.
"Is it like a camel storing water and nutrients in a hump?" Shaq asked.
Qin Shiou praised: "Yes, you are so knowledgeable, man. You even know camels. ”
Xiao Shak raised his head angrily and said, "Of course ...... then."
"Squeak!" Another stream of 'sap' squirted down. Qin Shiou hurriedly avoided it, and then sprinkled Xiao Shak's face.
Qin Shiou looked up. Xiao Ming greeted him with a Zhi Zhi in his paws, jumped on his shoulder from behind, and handed him Zhi Zhi like a treasure.
"Good boy, really good boy." Qin Shiou stroked the fine hair on the top of Xiao Ming's head and smiled.
After handing him this, Xiao Ming quickly climbed the tree, rushed behind him with lightning speed, and smashed it with a claw slam.
"Damn. Lightning marten. Qin Shiou was stunned when he looked at Xiao Ming's incomparably fast speed.
Shirley looked at the fallen Zhili weakly, and then looked at the cicada trap net in her hand: "Qin, I knew that we wouldn't have to work so hard, with Xiao Ming here, how easy it is to get this qiē." ”
Qin Shiou coughed and said, "What are you talking about, we don't want these cicadas, but to enjoy the fun of catching cicadas, do you understand?" Very good. You guys play here, I'm going back. God, little Shaq, what are you licking your lips for? ”
Little Shaq took it for granted: "I'm tasting the sap of the tree." ”
Qin Shiou nodded. I feel that the truth can't be said. He was just about to leave, when Shirley suddenly grabbed him and said, "You assure us that the urine that was sprinkled just now is not the urine that you know!" ”
Look at little Shaq who is still licking his lips and savoring the taste of tree juice. Qin Shiou coughed and said, "I promise you, lovely girl." That's not knowing urine! ”
Actually, that's known dung, my poor girl! Qin Shiou has a hundred grass and mud horses dancing in his heart, and the cicada excretion is different from other insects. Its feces are stored in the rectal sac, and it can be excreted at any time in case of emergency to confuse enemies.
With the assurance, the children were relieved to continue to catch and enjoy the sap and rain and dew that were sprinkled.
At more than ten o'clock, Hamlet suddenly drove over, Qin Shiou looked at the Toyota Camry and asked, "Haven't got a driver yet?" ”
Hamlet laughed: "I don't want to be under the pat of voters like the hapless Okefo, and it's not too late to hire a driver after I take the oath." ”
The Canadian government stipulates that at the municipal level, only the mayor can have a driver, and no other city councilor or anything else is allowed to have a driver, and they can't do it themselves.
Waiting for Hamlet to sit down, Qin Shiou shouted outside: "There are guests coming!" ”
Hamlet, who had just sat down, was startled and said, "Man, what are you shouting nonsense?" Why do I feel so wrong with this? ”
Qin Shiou asked him to sit for a while, and then Shirley brought two cups of cold drinks, and then he explained: "The children have built a cold drink hut, and the cold drinks used to entertain guests are all sent from the hut. ”
Putting the cold drink away, Shirley smiled and stood beside Hamley, who took a sip and praised, "Great, good girl, this glass of watermelon juice tastes good." ”
"Thanks for the compliment, two dollars." Shirley said simply.
Hamlet almost spit out the watermelon juice, Qin Shiou took out five yuan and said, "I ask me to ......"
Hamlet stopped, took out two Canadian dollars and handed it to Shirley, and continued to boast: "Great, good girl, self-reliant children are even more lovely." ”
"Then I gave the tip by the way." Big Lori said with a smile.
Qin Shiou watched Hamre swallow the watermelon juice in his mouth in pain, and he felt that it would be better for the next guest to make coffee by himself.
Big Lori took the money and explained: "Mr. Mayor, our juice is worth the money, it is pure and natural without any additives, and there are some unique secret recipes added to it, such as tree juice, the taste is definitely different from the outside." ”
Hamlet listened to the 'Mr. Mayor' in the mouth of the big Lori, and his old face smiled like a flower, while Qin Shiou's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly put down the drink he had picked up.
"Qin, why don't you drink it?" Big Lori asked with a smile.
Qin Shiou smiled dryly: "I'm not too thirsty. ”
"Then you can taste it, Mr. Mayor said it was delicious, and we made it with a new recipe." Big Lori smiled innocently, but Qin Shiou always felt that the light of a fox flashed in her eyes.
Hamlet also persuaded: "Yes, it tastes very good, you taste it, taste it quickly." ”
He's got something to say, and Shirley can't say it here.
Qin Shiou still wanted to refuse, but Hamlet was not stupid, he always refused to drink juice, and soon thought of the problem.
There is no way, the cannon he made an appointment with is about to be finished crying, Qin Shiou smiled awkwardly, raised his cup and took a sip, but fortunately, the taste has not changed much.
Shirley learned from the noblewomen of the English court and performed a lady's salute, and ran out of the villa happily.
"I have something I want to discuss this time, this year is the seventeenth year of the outbreak of cicadas, you may not know this ......" Hamlet waited for Shirley to get down to business as soon as she left.
Qin Shiou sighed: "I understand, I understand this matter very well, you can say the latter." ”
Hamlet nodded and said: "That's good, cicadas are pests in seventeen years, and this year's outbreak is no less than a locust plague, so the town wants to organize a cicada extermination activity and use pesticides to kill these hateful insects." ”
"But there are no farm planes in the town, and you happen to have one here, and we want to lease yours, how about it?" (To be continued......)
