Golden Fishery

The sea monster had made a pumpkin boat before, and he had figured out a method of making it himself. He explained it to everyone, and then split up to find equipment and tools, which he used a lot.

Qin Shiou chose the second largest pumpkin, and it must be more than 1,800 pounds by visual inspection. In fact, the most suitable weight for the pumpkin used by teenagers is 800 pounds. Any bigger pumpkin would be a burden to them.

But he made the pumpkin boat not only for the competition, but also for future use. After the pumpkin boat is preserved, it can be stored for a long time.

Cut off the top of the pumpkin to expose the pumpkin meat inside. This cannot be thrown away. The pumpkin from the fishing ground is delicious. They have been eating pumpkin pie for the past few days, and they are not tired of it yet.

The ripe pumpkin exudes a bright yellow light, and the taste is slightly strange, but it is tolerable. Qin Shiou dug it inside with a sharp knife, and quickly dug it out.

Father Qin came over and said, "What are you doing? Have nothing to do? The crops are ripe, and there are so many grapes in the vineyard. If you have the time, you might as well clean them up."

Qin Shiou said indifferently: "Dad, don't worry about it. Grapes are used to make ice wine, and they can only be picked after it snows. The crops in the field are just a little, and you can find a machine to harvest them later."

Qin's father saw that he didn't take it seriously, and said dissatisfiedly: "Just one or two acres of grain, how can it be worth using a machine? When you have time to play here, we will clean it up."

Qin Shiou stood up and coaxed the old man away: "Dad, go and see the melons, I have business here, and Winnie is going to organize a pumpkin boat competition, don't I have to support her in her work?"

After hearing this, Qin's father didn't say any more. He did ask Qin Shiou to support Wei Ni's work.

After roughly digging out the pumpkin flesh, there was still a palm thickness left. Qin Shiou found Bird and asked him to use a dagger to cut it to the thickness of half a palm, which was enough.

Byrd moved the knife like flying, and saw his wrist shaking rapidly. Pieces of pumpkin flesh were cut off like butter, and each piece was almost the same size, which shows how superb his knife skills are.

"Okay." Twenty minutes later Bird nodded to indicate that it was all right.

Now the general outline of the pumpkin boat comes out. Qin Shiou poked his head in and saw that the pumpkin flesh was scraped and slippery. The inside was much smoother than the outside, as if it had been polished with sandpaper. He couldn't help but praise: "Nice job. Bird, just use this knife If you work, I have to give you a raise."

Bird rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "How much should I add?"

Qin Shiou glanced at him,

Said: "Are you serious? Hurry up and go to work, just to tease you."

Bird didn't care, smiled and went to help others peel the pumpkin again.

According to the requirements of the Canadian trade union, employees have to raise their salary every 12 months, starting at 8%. Qin Shiou thought about it. It's time for him to raise the salaries of the fishermen and soldiers.

"Time is so fast." Official Qin began to feel so emotional again.

After the pumpkin is peeled, it needs to be soaked in formalin immediately. The purpose is naturally to preserve it. As long as the pumpkin is not allowed to dry out, it will be very durable. The sea monster said that it is as tough as leather.

Brushing the pumpkin inside and out several times with a brush, Qin Shiou didn't stop until the pumpkin meat could no longer absorb the formalin. At this time, the whole grassland smelled of formalin.

Put the pumpkin up and point it at the south to start the sun exposure. The weather wasn't right. Even though St. Johns is located in the south of Canada, the sun became too soft in November. The advantage is that the sea breeze in the fishing ground is strong, and the sea breeze can also play a good role in dehydration.

The sea monster told him an idea, which is to use electric heaters to roast.

The winter on Farewell Island is cold and humid, and fireplaces and air conditioners alone are not enough, so every household will always have electric heaters, which is the little sun in Qin Shiou's hometown.

This thing has a very high efficiency of electric heat conversion. With high power turned on, it is really not much worse than the summer sun.

The pumpkin is very big, and when two electric heaters are placed back to back and turned on inside, it can be roasted from the inside out.

During these two days, Qin Shiou needs to constantly apply formalin during the electric roasting process, and must let it be soaked thoroughly to completely meet the anti-corrosion high-strength standard.

Two days later, the pumpkin flesh was sun-tanned and hard to the touch, and there was a strong smell of formalin in it. That leaves you ready for the next step, which is gluing and painting.

First, apply a layer of turbid quick-drying glue on the skin and inside of the pumpkin boat. The purpose of this thing is to isolate formalin. After all, this thing is still harmful to the human body, and it is waterproof.

After applying a thick layer of quick-drying glue, the second step is to paint it up. The purpose of this painting is also two, the first is waterproof protection, and the second is beautiful.

Qin Shiou's pumpkin was going to be used by Shirley. He asked the big loli what color to paint, and the big loli said without thinking, "Of course I use white. Who made me a pure and invincible little beauty?"

Qin Shiou's mouth twitched, he painted white paint silently, and asked, "Then what do you paint on it?"

Shirley asked expectantly: "Can you draw a map of the world? Or a map of the world's oceans, which means that we will conquer the world in the future."

Qin Shiou made an 'ok' gesture confidently, and said, "Just look at mine."

With his assurance, Big Lolita went to school bouncing around. She was dumbfounded when she came back from school. She screamed and found Qin Shiou, and pointed to the dark blue on the pumpkin and asked, "What's going on, Qin Shiou?" , Did someone sabotage our warship on purpose?"

Qin Shiou said firmly: "No, Shirley, don't you want a map of the world's oceans? Isn't this just an ocean?"

Xue Li was shocked: "The ocean of the world is a deep blue?"

Qin Shiou said seriously: "How can it be a dark blue? You see, the outer circle is light blue, which represents a shallow sea, and the color gets darker as you go in, and some places are even black. Why? Because that is deep sea!"

"Look again, there are a lot of speckled things here, right? What is it? An island! Look, this little dot, this is our farewell island. I specially marked it in gold, how about it?"

Big Lolita stared at him stupidly, her small mouth opened and her eyes were blank. Official Qin thought she was stupid, naive, beautiful and cute at this moment.

"Okay, Qin, you won, so let's go and see what other people painted on their pumpkins?" Shirley said weakly.

Qin Shiou readily agreed. The first thing they saw was the big pumpkin boat that the sea monster got for Gordon, with a battleship painted on the left and right sides of the outer layer: "This is an Iowa-class battleship! This is a Bismarck-class battleship. Awesome or not awesome?!" (To be continued.)
