792. It's the sap (2/6)
A small explosion, I hope you can support the bullet shell, if you have a recommendation ticket, you can vote for a few recommendation votes, and if you have a monthly ticket, it will be better if you can give a monthly ticket, thank you for the bullet shell! ****
After breakfast, Qin Shiou said to Sha Ke: "You take people to search along the coastline, it is easy to break out of jellyfish proliferation tide in this season, damn it, I don't want to have some problems because of this guide to the water." β
The fishermen are all old sea people, and they know more about jellyfish than Qin Shiou, and what can be eaten and which ones should be discarded.
Children don't have to go to school today, and today is the anniversary of Newfoundland's annexation to Canada, so they can have a day off.
On this day in history, 1948, Newfoundland held a referendum to pass the resolution to annex Canada. On March 31, 1949, Newfoundland officially joined Canada as Canada's tenth province.
This is not a very good memory for Newfoundland, as the indigenous people have a proud sense of independence, and at the beginning of the last century, it was the first dominion after the British Empire lost its American colonies, and was once an independent country.
But because it was still a dominion of the British Empire at the time, Newfoundland borrowed heavily to finance the British war during the First World War, and as a result, it ran a deficit in the '20s, and in the '30s it accumulated more than three times its national income.
In 1933, fearing for Newfoundland's creditworthiness, Canadian banks threatened to suspend lending to Newfoundland. Newfoundland turned to London for help, and the British government sent a royal commission of inquiry to investigate the issue.
The British were really dark and dirty after they investigated. The unilateral solution called for the dissolution of the Newfoundland Parliament and the transfer of government power to a committee of six. The members of the committee are three from Newfoundland and three from the United Kingdom.
No doubt. In effect, Newfoundland would relinquish its national sovereignty and return to colonial status.
Of course, although they were called independent countries, they were also the dominions of Canada, so the Newfoundland Parliament finally accepted this request and dissolved the democratic government.
This situation remained until after World War II, when Britain, which had been greatly weakened, could no longer afford to budget for Newfoundland, and proposed to terminate the dispatch of the government.
But Newfoundland also participated in World War II, and suffered heavy losses. Encountering a bottleneck in the construction of the territory, he had no choice but to turn to Canada for help, and after receiving a promise from the latter to bear its debts, the citizens of GuΓ² became the tenth province of Canada.
Children don't care about this, in fact, Canadians don't care where they are from, there are too many immigrants and too many consciousnesses. For example, Mexicans and Japanese, two countries are relatively conservative, immigrant families do not allow their children to learn English, and insist on speaking Mexican and Japanese. What sense of belonging can a child from such a family have to Canada?
Shirley: They don't care if they're Newfoundland or Canadian, they care about having another day to play.
But after playing for a while during the day, the children came running back in a huff and found a long thin stick. Something to tinker with a broom tied there.
The tiger and the leopard watched together, and the children discussed, and they barked twice from time to time. It seems to be involved in the discussion.
Qin Shiou asked curiously, "What are you doing?" β
Gordon said without looking up, "Get rid of those cicadas." β
Powell explained: "We wanted to play in the cabin, but it was too noisy outside. The insects are constantly screaming in the trees, which is distracting. We decided to get rid of them. β
Indeed, with the outbreak of cicadas in seventeen years, the town is now surrounded by the sound of cicadas, and the endless cries can be heard in the villa.
Qin Shiou thought for a while and said: "It's better like this, I'll teach you to know, this is a game we played when we were children, and what we got at that time can still be eaten, forget it now, but it's not bad to feed the chickens." β
He went back to the house and found some flour, mixed it into a dough, and then put it in water to grab and wash it, washing off the starch, and finally leaving behind the sticky gluten.
Qin Shiou tested the stickiness and felt that it was big enough, so he pasted a piece of gluten on the long wooden pole, handed it to Powell and said, "You take turns with Xiao Shaq and Little Kraken to use this, do you see this head?" Slowly, use it to post knowledge, understand? β
So saying, he went to make a simple small net bag out of a fishing net, pinched it with iron bars, and combined it with another long wooden pole, and told SΓΉ Shirley and Gordon: "This is for netting, just put them in it." β
Preparing the tools, Qin Shiou took a group of children to set off, tigers, leopards and pineapples jumped up and down, the master was listless, poked his head and looked, Winnie brought it a big bathtub, poured water into it, and it quickly climbed in to escape the heat.
I don't know how many of the two big sugar maple trees know, anyway, after approaching it, it was like listening to the hoop mantra, and the 'squeak' was crazy, no wonder the children couldn't stand it.
And there are not only insects on the tree, but also many other insects, no wonder the angry bag said that it was accompanied by the sound of eating leaves, indeed, in the sound of knowing the 'squeak', there was also the sound of 'rustling' eating leaves, and under the tree were all kinds of insect, which was very disgusting.
This is all caused by Zhizhi, so it is not too much for them to put the responsibility on Zhizhi. Because they know that when they suck the sap, they will constantly excrete urine, and they do not absorb the sap completely, and the urine contains the nutrients of the sap.
These nutrients attract all kinds of thirsty ants, moths, beetles, etc., which not only absorb the urine they know, but also eat the leaves, so the more trees they know, the more branches and leaves they lose.
The owner of the sugar maple tree is the squirrel Xiao Ming, and the little guy also seems to be troubled by knowledge, squatting on a branch on a high place and sulking, and his cheeks are bulging, as if scolding.
Qin Shiou whistled to Xiao Ming, then raised the thin wooden stick, found a cicada called Zhenghuan, slowly leaned the wooden stick up, and whispered: "Look, we have to be careful, get closer a little bit, and don't let it detect ......"
The children looked nervously, nodded vigorously, and their attentive appearance made Qin Shiou sigh with emotion: If these little rabbit cubs can have this motivation to study, they will definitely be the material of Memorial University of Newfoundland in the future.
"The last time you have to be steady and ruthless, let's slowly lean up, look at me so hard!" Qin Shiou's wrist shook for the last time, and the gluten accurately stuck to the wings of Zhizhi, and he screamed in fright, and a puff of feces sprayed down on his buttocks.
Qin Shiou didn't know for a long time, and he forgot that there was still this stubble, but he couldn't avoid it, and he was surrounded by children, so he could only suffer this hardship.
The children were also drenched, and Gordon asked stupidly, "What is this?" Why is it raining all of a sudden? β
Shirley and the others all had bad expressions on their faces, and in order to maintain his majesty, Qin Shiou had an idea and said, "This is tree sap!" This is the sap that I am eating! (To be continued......)
