Island Fishery

Chapter 33 The Terrifying Mortality of the White Butterfly Clam

Li Shu went to the utility room to dig out the 100 white butterfly clam shells that were put away last time. A white butterfly clam has two shells. Each shell is thick and large, and the inner side is white and moist. Like white jade.

"Knock knock." Li Shu squatted on the ground and smashed a piece of clam shell with a small steel hammer. The cracked clam shell formed 4-5 pieces, most of which were the size of a thumb.

Pick up a piece of clamshell fragments and put them into the small hole of 3 cm * 3 cm in the shell ball mill, close the outer door of the small hole, and then turn the switch to the far left.

buzz buzz~

The clam shell ball mill that had been powered on began to make a buzzing sound, and the blades inside it began to cut clam shell fragments crazily, and the whole machine began to tremble violently like a convulsion.

"Why is this clam shell ball mill the same as the washing machine used to be at my grandma's house? It started to shake crazily as soon as it was working." Li Shu held the clam shell ball mill with both hands, trying to slow down its shaking.

clatter clatter~

The sound of paws running across the floor suddenly sounded in the corridor on the first floor, and soon a dog's head poked in from behind the door.

"Wang~" Rhubarb pricked up his ears and whispered, as if asking Li Shu to go out and play.

"Rhubarb, I don't have time to play with you right now. I promised to give pearls to others. Now I have to cultivate pearls as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I break my promise, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death." Li Shu turned his head and explained slightly.

clatter clatter~

The big yellow dog jumped straight in front of the squatting Li Shu, with its long dog mouth thrust forward, and its big tongue trying to lick Li Shu's face.

Luckily, Li Shu moved quickly and dodged Rhubarb's tongue attack with a swing of his head. He raised a hand and pushed Rhubarb away, and said with a smile, "Go away, you silly dog, what's wrong? You still want to wash my face Ah? Go, go, go and play by yourself."

"Wang~"

The big yellow dog pouted its buttocks and swooped with its mouth wide open. The dog teeth were white and stylish under the light, as if it was trying to scare Li Shu.

The big tail shook a few times, it seemed to know that Li Shu really couldn't play with it, so it turned and ran away.

"This silly dog..." Li Shu shook his head and laughed, and his eyes were refocused on the rusty clam shell ball mill. The vibration of the latter had been greatly weakened, so he let go of his hand.

Soon, the clamshell ball mill stopped shaking completely.

snap~

Turn off the power, open the outer door of the small hole, and a gust of rising clam shell powder floats out.

He dumped everything in the small hole of the ball mill on the floor next to him, and found a clam shell ball with a diameter of about 1 mm in a pile of clam shell powder.

Rinse the clamshell balls with water, and Li Shu slowly said: "It is indeed a perfect circle, put it in a mature white butterfly clam with a part of the white butterfly clam tissue, and the white butterfly clam will continuously secrete pearls around the small ball. quality.

The nacre, which was originally liquid, will continue to solidify on the surface of the shell ball, causing the nacre layer formed by the nacre to become thicker and larger, and become larger and larger pearls. "

Li Shu found a small porcelain dish with a diameter of 10 cm, and put the clam shell balls in it.

"Continue to work hard and grind out a large number of clam shell balls." Li Shu rolled up his sleeves, picked up another piece of clam shell fragments and threw it into the small hole of the ball mill, then turned on the power and started working.

buzz buzz~

The familiar vibration sounded again on the villa's negative floor.

Little girl's room.

The little girl who had slept soundly woke up slowly, blinked her eyes, and found that there was no thrush on the quilt, then looked up and looked around, and found a gray-brown thrush standing on the bedside table, tilting her head and using a sharp beak to trim the feathers on her back.

"Jiujiu~"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl looking at him, and the thrush turned his head to look at her, and then continued to straighten his feathers. Its sharp beak was like the teeth of a comb, and it neatly arranged the feathers.

"It's great to have you by my side, otherwise I'd be worried that A Piao would come looking for me at night." The little girl smiled contentedly, and went to wash up alone after getting up. Due to family changes, the little girl became very independent , when other children are still snuggling in the arms of their parents and acting like a baby, she can basically take care of herself.

After washing, the little girl held the thrush bird upstairs and downstairs to look for Li Shu. When she couldn't find it, she asked Da Huang who was lying on the door of the first floor. When she saw the little girl walking towards her, Da Huang's chin was still resting on the floor. But the big fluffy tail had already started to rise and fall, making the floor crack.

Obviously, Rhubarb likes the little girl very much.

"Dahuang, have you seen my elder brother?" The little girl let the thrush out of the villa, let it go for food in the woods, turned around and squatted next to Dahuang's head, stretched out her small hand to touch Dahuang's dog's head, "Your dog's head It's really big, bigger than my head."

Da Huang couldn't understand what the little girl said, and the dog's face was full of bewilderment.

It took Li Shu an hour to make 100 clamshell balls, and then he walked out of the basement floor to find the little girl, and went to the villa where Uncle Hai lived in the southeast of Neverland for dinner.

There are two villas in Neverland. The villa in the northeast is occupied by Li Shu and the little girl. The villa in the southeast is lived by Uncle Hai.

"Hiss~" When going to Uncle Hai's residence, the little girl took a deep breath: "The air quality on the island is good, very fresh, hey~ I saw seagulls in the sky, bro, that's the seagulls right Bar?"

Li Shu looked east in the direction of the little girl's finger, and with his eyesight, he could see flocks of streamlined seabirds flying far away.

"Yes, that's the seagull."

"By the way, sister, after dinner, brother still has work to do, so he may not be able to play with you."

"Yeah, I see." Sister Lian agreed.

Breakfast is white rice and meat porridge, which tastes very good. After drinking two large bowls, Li Shu went back to the basement floor of the northeast villa and began to operate on the big white butterfly mussels——mixing the clam shell balls with a small Strips of soft tissue were put into the clam's body.

This is a delicate job. Since it is the first time to do it and has no experience, Li Shu is very careful, and sweat is dripping from his forehead.

"I have high hopes for these pearl oysters, little pearl oysters, don't let me down."

Throughout the morning, Li Shu was busy putting bead cores into the white butterfly mussels. Although it was hard work, it was worth it, and there was another thing that made Li Shu happy-a large number of small white clams appeared in the glass tank. butterfly clam.

"There are so many cubs born, hiss~ I don't need to buy white butterfly clams in the future, happy!"

In one morning, he successfully put bead cores into 80 white butterfly mussels. As for the final survival rate... Originally, Li Shu was relatively confident. After all, chalcedony spirit water can greatly stimulate the activity of white butterfly mussels, and He also followed the highly praised answer on the Internet, but the reality slapped him in the face.

In just one afternoon, 40 white butterfly clams died, 32 more died the next day, and only 2 remained alive on the third day.

Li Shu's heart was bleeding. Looking at the shocking scene in the glass tank, his lips trembled slightly: "The death rate is too high."
