Chapter 680: Guppies

The efficiency of the villagers in cutting down trees is very high, and the thick trees fall one after another, and in just half an hour, more than a dozen big trees are down.

After that, the villagers began to clean up the side branches on the trunk of the tree, and the main trunk and the thicker and straighter side trunks had to be transported back, while the branches that had no use value were all thrown in place, and after they were dried, they could be transported back together to make firewood.

The villagers cut down a lot of branches, and among these branches, there are many branches that the children are interested in, they scramble, compare, many children made three or five slingshots in one go, very proud to look at other children, the children who did not get the ideal branches are quite unhappy.

Because the load of the flat car is limited, a dozen tree trunks and large side branches cannot be transported back at one time, so they have to transport them in three trips until all the trunks are transported back.

Li An has been observing, observing the every move of these villagers, and found that they are indeed qualified workers, and there are no idle people, and this is enough to show that they are not pirates, pirates make a living from looting, and they will not have such a strong ability to cut down trees.

After returning to the village, the villagers who were busy building the arrow tower did a very good job, and they were definitely honest villagers, not pirates.

However, whether this village has exported pirates, Li An can't be sure, and he can't ask casually, because these people will definitely not tell the truth, even if a family in the village has pirates, they will not betray the people of the same village, otherwise, they will not be able to survive in this village in the future.

It may take several days for the tower to be built, and Ang Lee can't stay in the village forever, he must return to the port and come back when he is free.

With fifty escorts, Ang Lee left the small village and returned to the port.

By the time we returned to the port, it was almost dusk, and the sky had become limited and dark.

Standing on a high ground, admiring the scenery in the distance, looking forward to the future, at present, all Ang can see in his eyes is a desolate beach and coconut palms, but in a few years, there will be great changes here, a large beach will become a berth for boats, the wide sea will be full of all kinds of boats, large and small, and even, at night, it will become brightly lit, a busy scene.

"Ah Lang, do you want to drink some of the freshly brewed iced black tea here."

Yuna was very considerate and sent iced tea.

Li An took the iced tea, took a few sips, and said softly: "Yun'er, accompany Ah Lang to the beach, let's pick up some seafood and stew soup at night." ”

Yun'er nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and call the beautiful woman and the black beans, everyone will pick them up together, the speed will be faster, and you can pick up more seafood." ”

Ang Lee smiled: "Go quickly!" Ah Lang will go directly to the beach and wait for you. ”

After speaking, he went to the beach with more than twenty escorts.

It has always been a harbor and has been operated by pirates for more than a year, but because the beach area is very large, the ecology of the seaside has not been damaged much, and in the sand and stone crevices of the seaside, you can always find a lot of seafood for practical use, small crabs, shrimp, shellfish and more, in short, as long as you are not very lazy, you can always get enough seafood to eat.

Along the way, Ang Lee has gone to the beach more than once to pick up seafood, it is estimated that there are dozens of times, and there will be a new harvest every time, after all, the types and sizes of seafood in each place are different, and there are many seafood, which are only available in specific places.

Soon, Yun'er took the beauty, as well as more than a dozen people such as Black Bean, Black Charcoal, Black Pearl, and Black Stone, and ran over in stride.

Each of them holds a small bamboo basket in his hand, which is specially used to hold seafood.

Among these dozen people, the four Kunlun slaves such as Black Bean were the most positive, because they knew that they were getting closer and closer to their hometown, so they were not generally happy.

Since being trafficked to Datang by human traffickers, their spirit has been greatly hit, but since Ang Lee asked them to teach them the Datang language and writing, their state has changed dramatically, their mental state is getting better and better, and Datang linguistics is also very fast, and it has only been a few years, and they have been able to talk to Ang Lee very easily.

"Ah Lang, are we picking crabs or small shrimp today?"

Black Bean asked very angrily.

Li An patted the black bean's head and replied, "As long as it is edible seafood, you can pick it up, and you can pick up as much as you want." ”

"Yes, Ah Lang, I must have picked up the most, hahaha!"

Black Beans bounce around to pick up seafood.

"Ah Lang, let's pick it up together."

Yuna held Ang Lee and picked up seafood with Ang Lee.

Although Li An said that he wanted to pick up seafood, he was not very willing to bend down to pick it up himself, which was very tiring, and it was a good choice to bring a small follower.

The area of the beach is very large, there is enough seafood to pick up, and the group is busy, and when Ang Lee sees a good thing, he will not do it himself, but let Yuna pick it up.

"Ah Lang, what is this?"

Black Pearl took a small object and put it in front of Ang Lee's eyes.

"This is a colorful fish, it's pretty!"

Li An was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to make up.

In fact, what kind of fish this little fish is, Ang Lee doesn't know very well, there are thousands of fish in the world, and no one can know all of them.

However, in the eyes of everyone, Ang Lee has always been omnipotent and omniscient, and if he answers that he doesn't know, he will destroy his tall and majestic image, which is intolerable.

Therefore, even if Li An doesn't know anything, then he has to pretend to know everything, anyway, the entire Datang fleet can't find anyone more knowledgeable than Li An, Li An said that this small fish is a colorful fish, then it is a colorful fish, no one has any reason to refute, and I don't know how to refute it, I haven't seen it, how do I know that this is not a colorful fish.

And the reason why Ang Lee said this name is because he has an impression of this name, which is related to a legend, a long, long time ago, when the sea god was still there, he once promised to divide the ocean of Noda into seven worlds, and the colorful fish is seven very beautiful and very caring little angelfish, and they were ordered by the sea god to guard the seven underwater worlds, but with the disappearance of the sea god, the underwater world was gradually shrouded in shadows, and the mysterious sea beast race black beans quickly eroded the underwater world forgotten by the gods, and finally, the seven oceans were all occupied by black beans, The seven colorful fish responsible for guarding the underwater world were all sealed by Black Bean with magic.

This is just a story, a legendary story, Ang Lee had heard this story in his previous life, so when he couldn't understand this fish, he casually said such a level name.

In addition, the story was later developed into a game, so that people could learn about this interesting story while having fun.

"This colorful fish is still alive, can it eat it?"

Black Pearl asked with a smile.

This little black girl, when she just bought it, didn't look beautiful, but after such a long period of maintenance, her spirit and posture have improved a lot, and she even looks a little smart, but her congenital lack of complexion and her big lips like sausages make her still a lot inferior to the beauties of the Tang Dynasty, but it can also be said to have a different taste.

Li An didn't know if this small fish could be eaten, but such a small fish didn't have much meat at all, so he said: "This is a colorful fish, also called angelfish, and it can't be eaten!" ”

"Angelfish, oh, let's keep it!"

Black Pearl dug a sand pit on the beach, and when the sand pit was full of water, she gently placed the colorful fish that were still alive in it.

"It's moving, it's still alive, this colorful fish is very beautiful, Black Pearl, you go back and get a fish tank, raise this guy, and in the future, you will take care of it."

Li An opened his mouth to ask.

"Yes, Aaron."

Black Pearl answered, gently put down the bamboo basket, turned around and ran back to the camp quickly, to get the fish tank.

Since the invention of glass, the fish tank made of ceramics has been eliminated and reduced to a fish tank used by ordinary people, and the nobles and wealthy people have begun to use glass fish tanks, even if the price is very expensive, they do not hesitate, and the original ceramic fish tanks in the nobles' homes have been used as night pots, or used for pickles.

At the moment when the price of glass is monopolized by Ang Lee, the glass fish tank is far more expensive than the ordinary ceramic fish tank in terms of grade and ornamentality, and the nobles naturally have to use the glass fish tank.

Soon, Black Pearl ran over with a glass fish tank that was not too large, and squatted down to carefully put the colorful fish into the glass fish tank.

"There's too little seawater, let's add some seawater!"

Li An glanced at it and opened his mouth to instruct.

Black Pearl nodded, holding the fish tank and walking towards the beach.

Because it is an arc-shaped harbor, it can block part of the energy of the waves, so the waves in the harbor are still relatively small, but even so, a wave head is enough to be two feet high.

Black Pearl was soaked by a wave when she walked to the beach, and she had to keep going in to get cleaner water.

After half filling the seawater, Black Pearl walked to the beach, admired the colorful fish for a while, then put it in a safe place, picked up the bamboo basket and continued to collect seafood.

There were a lot of goodies on the beach, and after a while, everyone picked up half a basket of so many as enough to make a good meal.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li An said, "Let's rest!" It's almost all there. ”

Hearing the order, everyone stopped picking up seafood, and came together to compare with each other to see who picked up more and who picked up more level.

"Yun'er, beauty, just the two of you picked up the least."

Ang Lee smiled.

"Ah Lang, you haven't picked any of them?"

Yuna opened her mouth and said.

Li An's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Yo, dare to talk back, is your ass itchy." ”

"Hahaha!"

This made everyone laugh.

Such frivolous speech does not conform to Ang Lee's identity, let alone Ang Lee's tall image, but the dozen or so people in front of him have followed Ang Lee for a long time and can be regarded as family members, so in front of these people, Ang Lee doesn't need to hide anything, just do what he wants.

"Ah Lang, they also picked up a beautiful little red fish, do you see if it's a colorful fish."

The beautiful woman pointed to a small red fish in the bamboo basket and asked.

Li An took a look and actually recognized this fish, which is a very marketable ornamental fish, called guppies.

And the reason why this small fish is called a guppy is because this small fish has a large tail and is very elegant in the water, much like the effect of a peacock opening the screen.

This kind of guppy has a very strong vitality and strong adaptability to the environment, and it is not so easy to die.

The strong vitality makes the guppies very widely distributed around the world, but they are only distributed in the tropics, and if the climate is colder, guppies will not survive.

Guppies are slender, with flat backs and very beautiful tails, males are thin and have long dorsal fins, only four or five centimeters in length, and females are slightly larger and stout, but only seven or eight centimeters long.

It is said that guppies also have a very mysterious place, that is, when they have a child for the first time, they will be more sensitive to yellow, and at the second full moon, they will be sensitive to purple, which is really amazing.

Guppies in later generations, is a kind of fish that people love to raise, in many aquariums can see guppies, its color is many kinds, not only red, but also cyan, blue and other species.

To talk about reproductive ability, guppies are the same as many fish, that is, quite strong, an adult female fish, once a month to give birth, can be as high as hundreds of larvae, a year of litter is very much, so there are millions of fish called.

Of course, among fish, strong fertility abounds, such as the very common carp, which can lay as much as 200,000 to 400,000 eggs at a time, and completely explode guppies.

However, carp produce all undeveloped larvae, while guppies produce small fry that have fully developed, and their nature is different.

The roe that has not developed well is easily eaten by predators, and there are not many small fry that can hatch in the end, while guppies are complete small fry when they are born, and the survival rate is naturally far higher than that of carp, which only lays undeveloped larvae.

"This red guppy is beautiful, put it in the tank too! This is also considered to be a companion for the colorful fish, haha! ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

When Black Pearl heard this, she ran to fetch the fish tank, and the beautiful woman put the guppies into the fiberglass.

"Ah Lang, there are still a few live crabs here, do you want to put them in the fish tank as well?"

Black Bean mischievously picked up a live crab and asked with a smile.
