368. The cold snap is coming

Qin Shiou was very happy that the shrimp were cleaned in the fishing ground, which showed that the ecosystem of the fishery was becoming more and more perfect.

What needs to be done now is to keep these clean shrimp, and to keep the clean shrimp behind, it is necessary to save the life of the little short-tailed shearwater.

After dawn, the short-tailed shearwaters fly to the surface in flocks in search of food.

Qin Shiou used the sea god consciousness to control the arctic shrimp to float to the surface of the water for them to prey, the little short-tailed shearwater's predatory ability is too poor, if they rely on themselves, it is estimated that they will starve to death in a few days.

There are countless arctic shrimp in the fishing grounds, these shrimps have amazing reproductive ability, and the growth rate is fast, and they are cultivated in late spring, and now they have begun to expand their populations, and after a while, Qin Shiou plans to catch arctic shrimp and start selling.

Probably an improvement of Poseidon's energy, the Arctic shrimp in the fishery grow much faster than their wild counterparts.

In addition to controlling the Arctic shrimp to raise the short-tailed shearwaters, Qin Shiou gradually approached them, fed the little short-tailed shearwaters half-full, and then he sailed into the short-tailed shearwater group.

Naturally, the little short-tailed shearwater will fly away in horror, but Qin Shiou, Shaq and others then scattered Arctic shrimp and small herring, small mackerel and so on from the fishing boat, the little short-tailed shearwater is very naΓ―ve, and has no wariness of humans, and will fly back to hunt.

After a few feedings, the little short-tailed shearwaters are no longer afraid of Qin Shiou's fishing boat, but when they see the fishing boat appear, they will happily surround them, and they have formed a conditioned reflex.

After gaining the trust of the little short-tailed shearwaters, Qin Shiou purposefully introduced their nocturnal habitat into the grove at the southeastern end of the fishing grounds.

There are a large number of maple trees, pines, spruces, bauhinia, golden-leaved metasequoia, red-leaved plums, red maples, golden-leaved acacias, purple-leaved cochinese, and blue ice cypresses in this forest. It can be sheltered from the wind and snow.

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

In my hometown, I have to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden even in winter. In order to avoid the cold north wind from freezing the vegetable seedlings, every year in late autumn. Vegetable farmers dig a trench in the northern part of the field, tie the corn stalks together, and plant them straight into the trench to shield them from the north wind.

Qin Shiou used a similar method, he hired people to block the northern part of the grove with a wind net, and put a large amount of dry thatch in the grove.

In this way, at night, the little short-tailed shearwater can burrow into the thatched pile to avoid the cold and keep warm, as long as the farewell island this year does not encounter the kind of cold winter that occurs once in 50 years or once in a hundred years, the little short-tailed shearwater will live until the beginning of spring next year without pressure.

After carefully making these preparations, Qin Shiou felt that it was almost over. That's all he can do, and if the little short-tailed shearwater still can't withstand the cold snap, he's out of luck.

The cold snap came sooner than expected, and on the evening of early December, all of a sudden, the wind and clouds changed, and the lazy sea breeze suddenly turned into a howling cold wind.

Qin Shiou woke up in the middle of the night, and Winnie hugged him like an octopus in his arms, and it seemed that it was also 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 opened, an icy cold wind came to his face, blowing the old birds under his crotch.

"It's so cold." Qin Shiou muttered.

Winnie on the bed reached out and touched it in a daze. Unable to find Qin Shiou, he closed his eyes and shouted vaguely: "My dear, what about you?" ”

Qin Shiou jumped on the bed and kissed her. Explained: "I'll go and close all the windows, and go to sleep, dear." It's okay. ”

His biggest concern was the little short-tailed shearwaters, not knowing in the thatched heaps of the woods. How are the little short-tailed shearwaters safe?

When I woke up the next morning, the air was exceptionally fresh, but also exceptionally cold, and a layer of hoarfrost hung on the grass outside the villa, like a light snow.

The bear's thick fur came into play, and it yawned and rolled around on the grass, presumably feeling good at the coolness.

The tiger and the leopard were a little unbearable, and no longer ran outside in the morning as before, but went to the house to keep warm honestly.

Qin Shiou and Winnie ran to the beach, and just as they arrived at the beach, a large group of bobtailed shearwaters flew up from the trees in the distance, full of vitality!

"Whew, that's good." 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's eyes shining.

"Flight attendant uniform today."

"Get out!"

The cold snap finally came, the maple trees on the mountain began to drop their leaves, and the brilliant maple leaves fell one after another, as if the sparks flew all over the mountain, no wonder there are poems that say 'death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves', and there is indeed such a feeling.

In the morning, Qin Shiou and Bird drove a helicopter to the fishing grounds, and a fishing boat entered the scope of the Daqin fishing grounds, and the helicopters flew over, without shouting on the radio, and turned around and left.

"Looks like they know it's a private fishing ground, so why are they coming to me?" Qin Shiou said depressedly.

There are one and two, and it is not surprising that with the output of fish from next year, many people will sneak to fish.

After returning to the fishing grounds, Vail waited for him with a middle-aged man, and the two sides shook hands, and Weil introduced him, saying 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, which could accommodate two fixed-wing aircraft.

Vail consulted with the engineer for half an hour, and then came up with a plan based on the map of the fishing grounds.

The private airport is best located on the former Cod Home Fishing Ground, where the geology is the hardest, close to the steep cliffs of Farewell Island, where two chemical plants were built.

In addition, Weir said that the airport could be built into a T-shaped double runway, so that the two ends of the T-shaped head can be used as hangars and watchtowers, and the lower part of the extension can be used as a runway. The open space on both sides can also be used and trimmed into a garage or something.

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

Val was in good spirits and said, "We can start work right away, while it's winter, man, because the permafrost is the hardest at this time, and you can save a lot of cement." ”

The engineer also nodded: "It is indeed material-saving, but relatively speaking, the labor cost will be more expensive now." ”

Weir shook his head and said: "This is no problem, Qin and I are old partners, just the same labor cost." My buddies are also willing to work for Qin, settle quickly, and pay bonuses, if it weren't for Qin's unintention to enter the construction industry, then my old buddies would have run under his command a long time ago. ”

Qin Shiou laughed, had a meeting and joked, the matter was decided, Auerbach signed a contract with Vail, Qin Shiou asked Winnie to call Jennifer, and gave Vail the first batch of four million Canadian dollars to buy materials and prepare to start work.

The cold snap came quickly, and the cold Arctic wind blew at the beginning of the month, and within two days, a light snow fell.

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