Island Fishery

Chapter 51 Growing Watermelons in Antique Bottles

The dilapidated ferry boat docked at the small pier of Neverland, and Uncle Hai, the little girl, and the big yellow dog, who were waiting in the shade of the grove in the northwest of the island, ran over to greet them.

"Wow woof~"

"Hmph, chirp~" The big yellow dog was the most excited, squinting his eyes and making a strange sound from his mouth, and wagging his big tail like a hot wheel.

"Brother!" The little girl in a pink skirt and white crystal sandals also stepped forward, looking at Li Shu with sparkling eyes.

"Your "Complete Book of Sand Castles." Li Shu handed a magazine to the little girl, who quickly ran away holding the magazine as if she had found a treasure.

"Go, go, go away, you silly dog." Li Shu patted the big yellow dog's head lightly. Every time he patted the big yellow dog, the big yellow dog quickly closed its eyes, but it still stretched out its long mouth to let Li Shu Shoot, do not hide at all.

"Uncle Hai, I hired Li Sha to work in Neverland, so we can see each other often in the future." Li Shu helped Uncle Hai with food and said with a smile.

"That's good!" Uncle Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he became happy again. He had long hoped that Li Shu could develop Neverland.

"In this way, Li Sha, you first send the rest of the daily necessities on the ferry to Shapi Island, especially the oil, milk, eggs, etc. for the village chief, and then you come back, and we will have kebabs and beef skewers at night Son." Li Shu said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Li Sha sailed away. When he delivered oil, milk, eggs, etc. to Village Chief Sha's house, Village Chief Sha was naturally very happy. The impression of the tree is getting better and better.

Li Sha then went home again and told his wife the good news that he had found a high-paying job. Li Sha's wife was also very happy and felt that there was hope for the future.

The reason why Li Shu sent some things to Village Chief Sha was that besides being grateful to him for helping solve Boss Jing’s household registration problem, he also wanted to have a good relationship with Village Chief Sha. After all, Shapi Island is half an hour’s boat ride northeast of Dream Island. .

With such a short distance, Li Shu felt that he might still be able to use Shapi Island in the future. Now that he can gain the favor of the other party with a little favor, it is really beneficial and harmless. If he waits to use the other party in the future It's too late to think about building a good relationship.

At noon, Li Shu's consciousness controlled Boss Jing, and he jumped into the sea to catch a 4-jin sea bass. He found that Boss Jing, a puppet-like figure, was really a gift from God to him. It is becoming more and more proficient.

A sea bass was steamed, and the little girl was very happy to eat it. At the end, she burped cutely. She sat on a chair and patted her belly and said, "Steamed sea bass is better than braised bagan."

Both Li Shu and Uncle Hai laughed. The 1.5-meter-tall, stout and sturdy Boss Jing didn't laugh. He was indeed very dull.

The noon sun was scorching hot. After clearing the table, Li Shu carried the thrush on his right shoulder and came to the strawberry field on the island.

"This strawberry seedling doesn't grow any more strawberries. Hey, there's one last strawberry." Li Shu plucked the strawberries and blew the floating dirt on them.

"Chirp Chirp~ Chirp Chirp~" The thrush, who was a little sluggish, even pecked at the strawberries and felt better.

"Is it hot, or is it sick?" Li Shu gently touched the thrush's small head with his fingertips, and fed it some chalcedony spirit water when he returned to the villa.

After drinking the chalcedony spirit water, the thrush's mental head improved a lot, and then flew to the bookshelf and squatted down to fall asleep.

"Take a nap, if it doesn't work, I'll take you to see a doctor." Li Shu said softly, then got up and went to the basement floor. Uncle Hai and the little girl had gone to take a nap, and Zhizhi outside the window was yelling loudly With that, the air seemed to be a little restless.

"Boss, there is another batch of pearl oysters ready to harvest pearls." Boss Jing said while standing beside the glass water tank.

"19mm pearls are the most cost-effective, and the breeding time is also suitable. You should harvest most of the pearl oysters, and keep another pearl oyster to see if you can grow a larger pearl." Li Shu laughed road.

"Okay boss, I understand." Boss Jing is already a good helper of Li Shu. He can put pearl cores in the white butterfly clam, can harvest pearls, and can also follow Li Shu's instructions to complete other tasks. The existence of the boss undoubtedly greatly saved Li Shu's time and energy.

Li Shu rummaged through the utility room and found a 40cm-high vase, which was sapphire-colored all over, with a round mouth and a thin neck, and it was beautiful.

It's just a pity that the "bottom" of the vase fell off, and its value was greatly reduced in an instant.

"Use this vase to plant! Watermelon, although it is a broken antique, it is also an antique." Li Shu drilled a coin-sized hole on the "bottom" of the vase to facilitate water flow, and then filled the vase with moist watermelon. In the soil, a jet-black jade-like watermelon seed was buried.

"It should be possible to grow watermelons." Li Shu squatted in front of the vase, took out a bottle of chalcedony spirit water from the ring, tilted the bottle mouth, and poured the chalcedony spirit water into the antique vase.

The chalcedony spirit water is very precious, the plum tree is just poured a small amount, and the next step is to wait - 1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds.

Sudden.

A delicate green shoot emerges from the soil, and then grows rapidly, 5 cm high, 10 cm high, the leaves become larger, climbing vines......

"Uncanny craftsmanship, really uncanny craftsmanship." Li Shu stood up in shock, watching the vines grow longer and longer, and the leaves grew into palm-sized dark green, and couldn't help but marvel.

When the watermelon vine grew to about 1.5 meters long, several small yellow flowers began to bloom quietly. Li Shulian walked over quickly, grabbed a male flower, and put the latter on a female flower for a while.

"Artificial pollination is complete." Li Shu stepped back a few steps and smiled.

Soon, the ovary of the female flower began to swell, growing little by little, and finally stopped when it reached the size of a fist.

"Not bad, the next stage should be slow growth, no need to add chalcedony spirit water." Li Shu looked at the watermelon with big fists and dark green stripes on the skin, and was very satisfied, because the watermelon vines at this time had already divided. Fork, and more than a dozen yellow flowers grow out, and the plum tree has another artificial pollination.

"It's enough to grow two watermelons. If you grow more watermelons, you may not be able to keep up with the nutrients."

By evening, the biggest watermelon had grown to a weight of 3-4 jin, and the smallest one had grown to a weight of 1 jin.

…………

In the evening, the gorgeous fire clouds covered the western sky. Li Sha drove the dilapidated ferry boat to Neverland. A barbecue grill had been set up on the west side of the villa where Uncle Hai lived. Beef kebabs are already baked on top.

"Hey, I haven't eaten your grilled mutton skewers for a long time." Li Sha is Uncle Hai's nephew, he leaned next to Uncle Hai and laughed.

"Go, go, you bastard, don't just think about eating, you can't see Xiaoshu going to carry beer? Hurry up and help." Uncle Hai grilled the mutton skewers swiftly, making a gesture to kick Li Sha.
