82. The beast on Mount Cambar
The final result made Qin Shiou smile and bend his mouth:
There are indeed hot springs in the fishing grounds!
Obviously, there was a tight rock layer at a depth of about one meter underground in this part, and the hot spring was imprisoned in it, but now this rock layer was opened, and the warm groundwater flowed out with the churning hot air.
Qin Shiou asked the construction team to further expand and search, with the first hot spring eye as the core, hot springs of different temperatures can be dug out within a range of about one square kilometer around, which is quite a large range, and it is more than enough to open a resort!
As a result, the enclosures for livestock had to be relocated, and he planned to build a combination of open-air and indoor hot springs in the area, so that the enclosures would get in the way.
The drilling team can only dig wells, and they can't do the hot springs, and although the development of hot springs is much easier than drilling, they don't have the tools to exploit hot springs.
Qin Shiou paid the drilling team 2,000 yuan, which was regarded as liquidated damages, because he didn't plan to dig a well, and since he wanted to relocate the livestock enclosure, he simply moved to the side of the grove and led a branch directly from the mountain river.
The drilling team didn't work much to get the money, and Qin Shiou found out that there were hot springs in the fishing ground, and both parties were happy.
After sending off the drilling team, Qin Shiou had to find a construction team to mine the hot springs, but the top priority was to move the livestock pens.
So he joined forces with the sea monster, Nelson, and Shaq to rebuild the fence, this time by the woods at the northeastern end of the fishing grounds, with a circle of maple and metasequoia trees in the middle, and ordered a batch of poultry and pig houses from St. John's to place in the pens to shelter from the wind and rain.
"There may be wild boars and gray wolves on this mountain, so I should build a pen here, what if these guys run down and harm these chickens, ducks and pigs?" Shaq asked worriedly.
Qin Shiou was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's just that there are wolves on the mountain, and wild boars?" ”
Shaq nodded and said, "Although wild boars are not as arrogant as in the western provinces in our place, there are definitely in the Campal Mountains, and there are quite a few of them. Wild boars are okay to say, mainly North American gray wolves, these guys are the most hateful! ”
Wolves are carnivores, and in order to survive, it is nothing to eat one or two sheep or chickens and ducks raised by the townspeople, and it is forgivable.
But the hateful thing about the North American gray wolf is that these scoundrels not only bite the livestock they want to eat, but also tear open the stomachs of other animals they can find with sharp teeth, let the intestines of the livestock flow out, and then die a painful death.
This is particularly hated, so in Canada, whenever people find a wolf, they will call their friends to hunt it down and kill it at gunpoint, and the wildlife protection law does not apply to gray wolves.
But don't worry about wolves going extinct, Canada is too extensive and has a small population, and there are always enough wild wolves in places that people can't set foot in.
"Make the fence stronger, and when the Vail construction team comes to build the dock, let them walk around the outside of the enclosure with cement and concrete, wolves and wild boars will never be able to jump over the two-meter-high fence, right?" Qin Shiou said.
Shaq nodded and said, "It's a good idea, it's a bit of a waste of money." ”
Qin Shiou didn't care, in order to build a fishing ground, he was willing to spend a lot of money.
"By the way, you said there are wild boars in the mountains? When will we go into the mountains to hunt wild boars? Qin Shiou said with some expectation, he hadn't hunted yet.
Shaq smiled: "If you want, then it's autumn, the wild boar is the fattest in autumn, let's go hunting." ”
Qin Shiou asked suspiciously: "Why are there wild boars in the mountains, and the people in the town still don't go hunting?" How good it is to hunt wild boar, fun and eat meat. ”
"Every year, people go into the mountains to hunt, but they don't finish hunting, and the female wild boar gives birth to two litters a year, and each time she can give birth to six or more," Nelson said. And in the mountains, wild boars have no natural predators, and they are not afraid of cold weather, because wild boars have long legs, so that they can also run freely in the snow. ”
In nature, the natural enemies of wild boars are lions, leopards, hyenas and humans, but whether lions or leopards and the like, they are all animals in the African grassland, Canada does not have them, and human beings, as the terminators of wild animals, are few in Canada and many people do not eat wild boar, thinking that this meat is too hard and fishy, and like Asian carp, they can't enter their diet.
After Qin Shiou figured out this question, his heart became alive.
His fishing ground has a beach, there will be hot springs, behind the mountains, there are wild boars, hares and pheasants on the mountains, not far from the Shenbao Lake can shoot fish, so if you build a resort or tourist resort, it will not be able to make a lot of money?
Qin Shiou's target customers are not Canadians, but domestic tourists, not to mention wild boars in China, even wild carp and fathead fish are difficult to get.
He put the idea on his lips, and Nelson added: "I like to hunt, and I can go up to the mountains to hunt deer, and there are elk, reindeer, moose, and red deer, and every autumn the town organizes people to go into the mountains to hunt deer, because they don't have food in the winter and they go down the mountain to destroy the vegetables and fruits that the townspeople grow." ”
"Yes, there are a lot of things that can be hunted in the mountains, such as North American geese, snow geese, hazel chickens, etc., you can hunt at will!" Shaq said.
Listening to the introduction of the two, Qin Shiou's heart 'Peng Peng' jumped, he never thought that the mountain next to the fishing ground turned out to be a treasure house, you must know that his hometown is in the mountain, but there are not even rabbits on the mountain!
In this way, Qin Shiou was puzzled again and asked: "Since there are so many prey in the mountains, you can't catch fish in the fishing grounds, why don't you go to the mountains to hunt wild animals and sell them for money?" ”
Shaq laughed, "Who buys it?" No one is stupid, if you want to eat, find time to hunt in the mountains by yourself, and still have fun, why buy it? What's more, if you hunt a beast and eat it yourself, if you want to sell it, you need an infectious disease quarantine permit issued by the quarantine department, which is too troublesome. ”
Last year, an acute outbreak of E. coli in Quebec caused three deaths, more than 200 illnesses and thousands of carriers, causing a sensation in Canada.
By the way, the cause of this E. coli infection is the wild boar.
Canadians are very timid, they hunt wild animals many times and dare not eat them, for fear of being infected with bacteria, viruses, parasites and the like. Therefore, every year, the people who hunt these beasts, except for tourists, are the farmers, who have to prevent the beasts from overbreeding and harming their own farms.
Qin Shiou didn't have these thoughts, he knew that there was a wild boar on the mountain, so he still had a fart of the earth pig. But then think about it, wild boar and earth boar are not the same taste after all, so he has a balance in his heart.
It takes time for the hot springs to be developed, and it takes time to introduce a branch of the river in the middle of the new livestock barn, so Qin Shiou took Sha Ke and the three of them to tie up the fence and then stopped, and the chickens, ducks and pigs were relocated at that time.
Back at the villa, he checked the current situation of Canada's wildlife on the Internet, and he was shocked when he checked it, the current situation of wild animals in Canada and the cod in the Newfoundland fishery are simply two extremes, the cod in the Newfoundland fishery has been overfished, and the wild animals are over-breeding and the government has a headache.
Wild boars, in particular, have become a major problem for the Canadian government in recent years.
Fortunately, Saskatchewan, known as the "breadbasket of Canada", has already experienced a wild boar disaster.
Saskatchewan is traditionally an agricultural province where wild boars harass livestock, steal crops, destroy farmland and spread disease.
A survey by Aarhus University in Denmark concluded that if the wild boar population in Saskatchewan is not stopped, the pig population in Saskatchewan will outstrip the population in five years.
The university surveyed 296 remote communities and confirmed that 70 of them were infested with wild boars, proving that wild boars are moving and roosting far beyond what was originally anticipated.
In addition to Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan province has also suffered from a wild boar crisis, and since last year, the province is planning to legislate to require every citizen who has a long gun to hunt two wild boars every year, which has also caused protests from the people - we don't buy guns to kill pigs, your government doesn't do it itself, don't want us people to pay!
The wild boars that plague Canadians today are not native wild animals, they were introduced as breeding animals in the 1990s.
However, some of these wild boars later escaped, and adapted well to the harsh Canadian winters, so they bred in large numbers in the wild and gradually spread out, eventually causing a "pig infestation".
According to the survey, the consequences of wild boar infestation in Canada are very severe, the spread of disease, the destruction of crops, the harassment of livestock, the destruction of natural ecosystems, and the occasional occurrence of wild boars attacking humans, so that the economic losses caused by wild boars to Canada are as high as 4 billion Canadian dollars every year!
Qin Shiou forwarded these news on QQ, and quickly followed up with the reply of his classmates:
"Fake news, wild boars can still be a disaster? Just eat them. ”
"If you can't eat Canada, you can also set up a company to hunt wild boars and sell them to China, according to the news, absolute profiteering!"
"Damn, I'm going to Canada, I'm going to join the beasts, I'm going to hunt wild boars to eat."
"Birds and beasts go hunting wild boars, remember to make more bacon and give it to your brother to taste."
“……”
Qin Shiou browsed these replies and replied from time to time, he thought about it and changed the signature message: Who wants to come to Newfoundland to play, as long as the travel expenses are taken care of, the brothers can eat, drink, live and play, and fishing and hunting are definitely fun!
Not long after this signature was changed, Mao Weilong's phone called: "Beast, you kid aren't joking, right?" You can really hunt there? ”
