ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "Golden Fishery", listen to more of your suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the official account (add friends on WeChat - add the official account - enter qdread), and quietly tell me! The sun is blazing and the umbrellas are holding up a shade, but the heat rises from the sand, so if there is no sea breeze, sunbathing on the beach is just as good as taking a sauna.

Fortunately, the sea breeze has been blowing unhurriedly, with hot and humid moisture, Qin Shiou soon fell asleep.

The bear shrank on the side of the recliner, it found that Ivoson had arrived and got into Qin Shiou's arms as soon as he found it, Qin Shiou thought it was too hot, so he gave way to half of the recliner position, that is, his recliner was as large as a small bed, otherwise he really couldn't sleep with one person and one bear.

Later, Qin Shiou was woken up by the sound of birds, he opened his eyes and looked, two snow-white big birds were hovering and chirping on the sea not far away.

These two big birds are very good-looking, about half a meter long, the whole body feathers are snow-white, the beak is light blue, the open wings are like two sails, and when diving, the wings can be pierced as soon as they are closed, fast and chic, like a knight on the ocean.

The first time Qin Shiou saw this kind of seabird on Farewell Island, he thought it was a swan at first, and when they landed on the beach to rest, he saw their red claws, and he suddenly realized that this was a red-footed boobies.

After landing on the beach, the two big birds tucked their heads between their shoulders and snuggled up to each other to comb their feathers.

It was obviously not the first time Iverson had seen a red-footed boobies, and he had been playing in the sand before stood up excitedly and exclaimed, "Catch them, this bird is delicious!" ”

Both birds are very vigilant. Iverson screamed, and they turned their heads in fright, flapped their wings, and flew into the air like two sharp arrows.

Qin Shiou rolled his eyes helplessly, was it in Ivoson's heart. There are only two things in the world, something that can be eaten and something that cannot be eaten?

However, he looked at the position of the parasol, and was a little moved, and the position of the parasol moved to the west a lot more than when he began to sleep.

Look at the traces of umbrellas left on the beach. The parasol moved five or six times in two hours, and there is no doubt that it was all done by Iverson, and the sun was setting in the west, and the parasol could not block the sun. Iverson quietly moved the parasol so that he always slept in the shadows.

Qin Shiou got up and went to the kitchen to find some cakes for Iverson, who smiled happily and gobbled up half a piece of cake.

The tiger and the leopard licked their tongues and looked longingly at the golden cream cake in Iverson's hand, jumping to their feet one by one.

But Iverson's food protection is more than the beast, and he doesn't look at the two greedy drooling puppies, but only eats Hesse himself.

As soon as the tiger and the leopard saw that they had no chance, they left the living room unhappy. When I went out, I quickly became happy again, and you ran and chased after me.

Shaq and sea monsters who went out to sea to cruise also came back with a smile. Qin Shiou called them to go to Shenbao Lake to touch the snails together, but seeing that the time was not long before the children got out of school, he simply waited until they went home together.

At 3:20, the Big Nose school bus passed by the gate of the fishing ground on time, and Boris and Shirley ran in.

Qin Shiou went up to greet them and asked, "Are you happy staying at school today?" ”

"It's fun." Shirley said crisply.

Qin Shiou nodded with satisfaction. He bumped his fist into them one by one and said, "Just went to school." You may not be comfortable with that environment, so try to adapt to school life. All right? ”

The four children nodded their heads, and a group of people pounded rice like chickens.

In this way, Qin Shiou and the sea monster each drove a car and drove towards Shenbao Lake.

Looking at the pickup truck in the back, Qin Shiou felt that he had to buy a car that could carry more people, anyway, he was about to go to St. John's to get a driver's license, so he would buy a business car or minibus by the way.

When he arrived at Shenbao Lake, Iverson jumped out of the pickup truck first, took off his shoes, found a rock to sit on the lakeside, put his feet into the lake, and ran comfortably.

Qin Shiou called him over, first went to the water to touch a water snail, showed him to understand, and said, "Go to the water, touch this, do you know?" ”

Ivoson blinked, turned his head and ran to the stone he was sitting on earlier, Qin Shiou was about to worry about his intelligence, but the giant went into the water and moved the stone to the river bank at once.

The bluestone was at least one hundred and eighty kilograms, but Iverson easily moved it, and Shaq and the sea monster kept staggering.

"This?" Ivoson tilted his head and asked Qin Shiou.

Freshwater snails generally survive on the banks of rivers or lakes, and especially like to attach to stones, Qin Shiou went over to see that there were a bunch of large and small snails lying below the waterline of this stone.

These snails are quite big, the size of the thumb belly is considered a small guy, and the largest one has to be the size of a peach, Qin Shiou stared at it.

Holding the peach-sized snail, Qin Shiou studied it, there is no doubt that these are not the kind of Chinese snails he used to eat in his hometown, and that thing can't grow this head even if he eats feed.

Looking at the dark brown snail shell, Qin Shiou scratched his head and asked, "This is a Fushou snail, right?" ”

He didn't know how to translate the Fushou snail, so he asked in Mandarin, he had seen this kind of big snail when he was in Island City before, it looked very similar, but the shell was pale yellow.

Shaq and the Kraken and the others naturally couldn't understand Mandarin, and Shaq said: "This is -apple-snail, a big apple snail, it doesn't taste good at all, it's very fishy, and we usually catch it in September and October and sell it to feed mills." ”

Qin Shiou didn't understand it very well, and he didn't know if this snail could be eaten, so he had to use the almighty Google - it used to be Baidu, and now he came to Canada, he found that Google was even more versatile than Baidu, and quickly abandoned the old tradition and became the foreign devil he hated the most.

After Google, Qin Shiou figured out that this thing is indeed called the big apple snail, but he didn't admit it just now, in China, especially in Baodao Bend, the name of the big apple snail is Fushou snail.

This kind of snail doesn't look big, but it's actually not very delicious, especially with Chinese cooking methods, snail meat is difficult to taste.

But there is no choice, there is only this freshwater snail in eastern Canada, and there is not even a shadow of the Chinese field snail in China.

Fortunately, Qin Shiou had never eaten this kind of snail, so he felt that it was good to try it fresh, so he went into the water with great interest to fish it up.

Boris was more skilled than him in this work, because when they used to wander, they used to touch this snail in the rivers and lakes and cook it. It's true that the taste is hard to eat, but for them who are hungry, it's good to have something to eat.

Except in September and October, almost no one comes here to touch the big apple snails, so the snails are piled up on the shore of the lake.

The size of Qin Shiou's selection was above the size of his thumb belly, and the eight of them worked together, and soon touched a lot of them.

Touching the water snail, Iverson suddenly slammed his fist into the water, splashing everywhere, and a thirty-centimeter-long largemouth bass floated up on the belly of Baihuahua.

Qin Shiou laughed, touched the snail and caught a fish, good luck. However, Ivoson is also fierce enough, and he can stun the fish in the water, this is the first time Qin Shiou has seen someone who can use brute force to catch fish.

When he came, Qin Shiou brought a plastic basin, he didn't expect to be able to touch so much, and now it's not a waste of it, so he used the plastic basin to bring it to the car body, anyway, Shaq brushes the car every day.

After about forty or fifty catties, Qin Shiou stopped and drove back.

Scattering all the big apple snails into the pot, Sha Ke found Qin Shiou and said, "Boss, if you like to eat snails, then we can go to the sea and get some snails." ”

"Eluo?" Qin Shiou asked rhetorically. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
