The sea monster had made a pumpkin boat and figured out a set of how to make it, he explained it to everyone, and then went separately to find equipment and tools, and there were many things to use.

Qin Shiou chose the second largest pumpkin, and it had to be more than 1,800 pounds by visual inspection, in fact, the most suitable weight of the pumpkin used by teenagers was 800 pounds, and no matter how big it was, it would be a burden to them.

But he didn't just make the pumpkin boat for the competition, but also wanted to use it in the future, and the pumpkin boat could be placed for a long time after it was well embalmed.

Cut off the top of the pumpkin to reveal the pumpkin flesh inside, this can't be thrown away, the pumpkin in the fishery tastes beautiful, they have been eating pumpkin pie for the past few days, and they are still not tired of it.

The ripe pumpkin exudes a yellow glow, and the taste is slightly strange, but it can be tolerated, Qin Shiou took a quick knife and dug around in it, and quickly dug into the air.

Father Qin came over and said, "What are you doing here? Got nothing to do? The crops are ripe in the field, and there are so many grapes in the vineyard, you might as well clean them up if you have the time. ”

Qin Shiou said indifferently: "Dad, don't worry about it, grapes are used to make ice wine, and they can only be picked after snow." The crops in the field, just a little, just go back and find a machine to harvest them. ”

Father Qin saw that he didn't take it seriously, and said dissatisfiedly: "Just one acre or two acres of grain, where is it worth using a machine?" With your time here to play, we'll pick it up. ”

Qin Shiou stood up and coaxed the old man away: "Dad, go and see the melon, I'm down to business, Winnie is going to organize a pumpkin boat race, don't I have to support her work?" ”

Hearing this, Father Qin didn't say anything more. Supporting Winnie's work was indeed what he asked Qin Shiou to do.

The pumpkin flesh was roughly scooped up, and there was still a palm-thick inside. Qin Shiou found Bird and asked him to use a dagger to cut it. Cut to half a palm's thickness, and that will be enough.

Bird carried his knife like a fly, only to see his wrist shake rapidly, and pieces of pumpkin flesh were cut off like cream, each piece was almost the same size, which showed how superb his knife skills were.

“OK，BOSS。” Twenty minutes later, Bird nodded and said it was okay.

Now the general outline of the pumpkin boat came out, and Qin Shiou probed in to see, and the pumpkin flesh was scraped slippery. The inside was much smoother than the outside, and it was the same as the sandpaper, so he couldn't help but praise: "Well done, Bird, just rush this sword skill, and I'll have to give you a raise." ”

Bird rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Then how much is appropriate?" ”

Qin Shiou glanced at him and said, "Are you still serious?" Hurry up and get to work, the boss is just to tease you. ”

Bird didn't care. He smiled and went back to help the others peel the pumpkin flesh.

According to the requirements of the Canadian trade union, employees must raise their salaries every 12 months, starting at 8%, Qin Shiou thought about it. It was time for him to raise the salaries of the fishermen and GIs.

"Time is so damn fast." Qin Daguan began to sigh like this again.

After the pumpkin is peeled, it needs to be soaked in formalin immediately, naturally for the purpose of preservative. As long as the pumpkin doesn't spoil and dry it up, it's very durable. The sea monster says it's as tough as leather.

Brush the pumpkin inside and out several times with a brush until the pumpkin flesh can no longer absorb formalin. Qin Shiou stopped, and at this time, the whole meadow was the smell of formalin.

Hold up the pumpkins and aim them due south to start the sun, this weather is not suitable, St. John's is located in the south of Canada, and in November, the sun becomes too soft, the good thing is that the sea breeze in the fishing grounds is strong, and the sea breeze can also be very good for dehydration.

The sea monster told him an idea, which was to use an electric heater to roast it.

The winter on the island is cold and humid, and the fireplace and air conditioning alone are not enough, so every household will always have an electric heater, which is the little sun in the mouth of Qin Shiou's hometown.

This thing has a very high electric heat conversion efficiency, and when it is turned on at high power, it is really not much worse than the summer sun.

The pumpkin is huge, and two electric heaters are placed back to back in and turned on, and you can roast it from the inside out.

In the past two days, Qin Shiou needs to constantly apply formalin during the electric roasting process, and must let it soak thoroughly to fully meet the antiseptic high strength standard.

Two days later, the pumpkin flesh was tanned to a black and yellow color, and it felt hard to the touch, and there was a strong formalin smell inside. This allows you to move on to the next step, which is gluing and painting.

First of all, the outer skin and inner part of the pumpkin boat are coated with a layer of cloudy quick-drying glue, the purpose of this thing is to isolate formalin, after all, this thing is still harmful to the human body, and the other is waterproof.

After applying a thick layer of instant adhesive, the second step is to paint it, and the purpose of this painting is also two, the first is waterproof protection, and the second is beautiful.

Qin Shiou's pumpkin was going to be used by Shirley, he asked the big Lori what the background color was, and the big Lori didn't want to think about it and said: "Of course it's white, who made me a pure and invincible little beauty?" ”

The corners of Qin Shiou's mouth twitched, he silently painted white paint, and asked, "Then what do you draw on it?" ”

Shirley asked expectantly, "Can you draw a map of the world?" Or a map of the world's oceans, which means that we are going to conquer the world in the future. ”

Qin Shiou confidently made an 'OK' gesture and said, "Just look at me." ”

After getting his assurance, Da Lori jumped up and down to school, and when she came back from school, she was dumbfounded, she screamed and found Qin Shiou, pointed to a dark blue on the pumpkin and asked, "What's going on, Qin, is someone deliberately sabotaging our warship?" ”

Qin Shiou said fixedly: "No, Shirley, don't you want a map of the world's oceans?" Isn't this just an ocean? ”

Shirley was stunned: "The world's ocean, is it a deep blue? ”

Qin Shiou said solemnly: "How can it be a dark blue? You see, the outer circle is light blue, which represents the shallow sea, and the deeper you go, the darker it becomes, and in some places it is even black, why? Because it's the deep sea! ”

"Look again, there's a lot of speckled stuff here, right? What is it? Islands! Look, this little point, this is our farewell island, I deliberately marked it in gold, how about it? ”

Da Lori looked at him stupidly, her small mouth opened and her eyes were blank, Qin Daguan felt that she was very stupid and innocent at this moment, very beautiful and cute.

"Okay, Qin, you won, then let's go and see what other people's pumpkins are painted on, shall we?" Shirley said weakly.

Qin Shiou happily agreed, and the first thing they saw was the big pumpkin boat that the sea monster had made for Gordon, with a battleship painted on the left and right sides of the outer layer: "This is an Iowa-class battleship!" This is a Bismarck-class battleship, awesome or not?! (To be continued......)
