Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The next morning, everyone went out for a walk together to check on the situation of the saplings planted yesterday.
The power of the stone pit nutrient water is still as good as ever, and it lives up to expectations. Whether it is the banana tree on the edge of the gourd depression or the coconut tree near the silver beach, they all straighten their waists, and due to the need for long-distance transportation, the few branches and leaves left after pruning are also green and vibrant. The survival rate is 100 percent.
This is expected for Jiang Yichen, Lai Shun'er and Xizi, and it is not surprising.
Shisuo'er is different, the banana tree is easy to say, but the coconut tree is rare to see in the Jingjiang area, and its difficulty in planting can be seen. I didn't expect to come here, it was so simple and easy to survive, it seems that the company's patented technology that Brother Chenzi said is indeed true, and it is quite powerful.
Suddenly, Yunsha Island, Jiang Yichen and others were covered with a layer of mystery in his eyes, which also made him feel a little more confident in the future.
"Brother Chenzi, when will this tree bear coconut fruit?" Lai Shun'er looked at the coconut tree and asked.
"This is a tall green coconut, four years old. I expect it to bear fruit next year. Jiang Yichen estimated that with the catalyst factors of space mixing ice water, this time should be about the same.
"Last time, there was a Qiongzhou travel show on TV, and the coconut tree grew so tall that people had to stand underneath, and they had to look up to the top of the tree with their necks back. Also, the trunk of the tree is bare, and there is not even a branch, so it is not easy to climb. Later, they also trained monkeys to go up trees, pick coconuts and throw them down. I almost smashed the reporter's head open. Kiko remembered the show she had seen on TV before, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He's grown so big, except on TV, this is the first time I've seen this strange plant in reality. Although it is not big now, with the energy of the nutrient water in the stone pit, he has no doubt that these coconut trees can grow to the same height as on TV.
"This coconut tree can grow up to more than 25 meters. It's a bit difficult. Xizi, you kid fights small houses and climbs trees, isn't it very neat, shouldn't there be any problem replacing the monkey? Jiang Yichen quipped.
"Where can we compare to monkeys? It's almost the same as coming to Shun'er. They are relatives. Kiko hurriedly excused herself.
For this kind of primate that is agile and somewhat similar to humans, he does have some envy and affection, but he is really ashamed of himself.
Go, Lai Shun'er glared and wanted to kick. Kiko hurriedly dodged.
"Well, there are other ways to do it, like tying a bamboo pole to a hook and reaching to the top to hook the coconut off. If not long enough. It is also possible to connect the rod. Shi Suo'er, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Oh, that's a good idea. However, if it is more than 20 meters long with thick bamboo poles, the weight is not light. It's not easy to balance it. Jiang Yichen asked a new question.
"The bamboo pole is a little heavier. There's another way. Have you ever seen the electrician's foot buckle, it's no problem to put on that climbing pole. When the time comes, I'll just make two pairs of wood, wire, and rubber. Shi Suo'er was not stumped, and quickly came up with another way.
"Hey, it's different to have a professional carpenter, and I'll leave it to you in the future. The young man has to work hard, follow me in the future, and have a future. I'm optimistic about you. Xizi encouraged with the lines of Hong Kong films, and took out the posture of the big brother of the club and reached out and patted Shi Suo'er on the shoulder twice.
Shi Suo'er was a little embarrassed in the face of the leader's encouragement, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Lai Shun'er knew that Kiko's eldest brother was addicted and pushed him aside.
"Okay, in fact, the fruit is still gone, let's discuss this a little ahead of our time now." Jiang Yichen shook his head, so he left here with three of his subordinates and started today's work.
Even if Shi Suo'er officially starts work today, he will take Shun'er to walk around, familiarize himself with the environment before assigning work. With him on board, the problem of labor shortage on the island was alleviated.
In the afternoon, Lai Shun'er asked Shi Suo'er to help, and on a stone platform outside the cave, the processed cricket jars were lined up, and then two bamboo cages were proposed, ready to allocate housing to the crickets inside.
This is equivalent to being divided from a large collective dormitory to a single room, and the level of treatment has been greatly improved.
Seeing this, Jiang Yichen also walked to the side and watched with interest. However, he didn't know much about the quality level of crickets, only that a big one was definitely better than a small one.
"Pick out the best ones and put them in the jars in front of you."
Lai Shun'er explained, and at the same time demonstrated, stretched a bamboo tube into the bamboo cage, aimed at the head of the target cricket, and held the root grass in the other hand, brushed the tail of the cricket, and drove it into the bamboo tube.
Then take out the bamboo tube, knock twice on the edge of the open cricket jar, pour the cricket into the jar, and then close the lid.
"What's the best, is it big?" Shi Suo'er asked, looking like a layman.
"Well, the head is round, the teeth are big, the legs are long, the neck is thick, rough, and the momentum is strong. Just choose according to this criterion. Lai Shun'er explained while pointing at the various parts of the crickets in the cage with grass. He also handed another small bamboo tube to Shi Suo'er.
Shi Suo'er nodded, opened the door of another bamboo cage next to him, and learned to move the cricket as Shun'er did just now.
"Come to Shun'er, what are the crickets on this island like, can they be beaten?" Jiang Yichen watched them choose crickets and couldn't help but ask.
"To be honest, the breed is average, but don't we have good things, and if you raise them for a few days, you will be a fierce general." Lai Shun'er responded with confidence.
After waiting for all the fifty jars to be loaded into the guests, Lai Shun'er also made a mark on the surface with a pen, which should indicate the different grades of crickets.
In the evening, Lai Shun'er specially held a cricket fighting exhibition match for Jiang Yichen.
First, two crickets of similar size competed, one of which had been fed with special vegetables and nutritious water for several days, and the other was fed with gourdwa ordinary spring water and wild vegetables as a comparison sample.
The two sides began to clash, and the superiority was immediate. I saw that the former's pace was flexible, fast, and his teeth were even more ferocious. The latter can't see anything on its own, but when compared with the same scene, it is obviously much sluggish. Not long after the duel began, the latter was bitten by the former and fled for his life.
"Hehe, it's pretty smart." Jiang Yichen said with a smile, he didn't expect that in just a few days, the impact of diet on fighting insects would be so huge.
Shi Suo'er's eyes widened, the victor's bravery was obviously beyond his expectations, and the reason was said to be that he had eaten some special food.
Lai Shun'er hurriedly covered the loser with a small net, and the little guy who won jumped to the side, flapping his wings and making a loud chirp.
