Golden Fishery

Qin Shiou expressed his worries, Shaq scratched his head, and muttered, "It should be fine, because we have been doing this for decades, isn't the maple tree growing well?"

Auerbach, who had been smiling at Qin Shiou's busy work before, laughed and explained: "Qin, come here, I will tell you the answer. You know, Newfoundland is close to the North Pole, and the summer time is short, the winter time is long, and the summer time is short. During the winter, maples use photosynthesis to produce starch, which is converted into sugars before winter."

"If the plant's body fluid freezes in the winter, the cell membrane will rupture and the plant will naturally die. Because the sap of the maple tree is full of sugar, it is not easy to freeze below the freezing point, so that they can survive in the cold regions of high latitudes."

"But when spring and summer come and the temperature rises, maple trees begin to use water to grow, so the sugar in the sap will become higher and higher. Once the concentration is higher than the concentration of the cell sap, the cells lose water, which is also not conducive to their survival."

"So, at this time, it's best to harvest maple sugar and let maple leaves re-store starch under photosynthesis. In fact, even if we don't collect maple sugar, maple trees will secrete these things."

In contrast, Auerbach is obviously much more literate, and Shaq nodded wildly on the side, probably not understanding.

Qin Shiou is someone who has studied biology, so he understands this and starts collecting tree sap without any psychological pressure.

These two maple trees are more than 80 years old, with luxuriant roots and branches. The trunks are as thick as two Shakes hugging each other. The sap is very abundant. After the plug is inserted, it begins to gush out amber sap.

Qin Shiou reached out and tasted it. The sticky sap was sweet with the fragrance of plants and trees.

When Shaq left, the squirrel Xiaoming climbed up from the tree, jumped on a storage tank and peeked out at the sap inside.

Qin Shiou dipped his fingers in some tree sap and handed it to Xiao Ming. It stretched out its pink tongue and quickly licked it, then swung its big tail and jumped out of the jar.

It seems that squirrels also eat candy, Qin Shiou laughed when he looked at Xiao Ming, who seemed to be shaking his head and waving his tail happily.

In fact, there is no need for Qin Shiou to feed. Xiaoming observed it for a while, and then he climbed to a place where the sap forked, where a pipe was also inserted. Xiaoming was condescending, licking the pipe that dripped from the pipe from time to time as if drinking water. sap.

The two big trees really stored a lot of sap. In just one morning, Qin Shiou collected more than 20 kilograms of sap.

The way to make maple syrup is to cook it in a pot. As the water evaporates, the last thing left is the syrup.

After the fire was set on fire, Qin Shiou didn't need to worry about it. He extended his mind into the ocean to check the changes on the bottom of the fishing ground.

The area of ​​the coral reef became larger, and it spread to more than 50 square meters, and the seabed finally had a colorful taste.

Qin Shiou's mind spreads all over the place. After encountering fish, he will go to the location of the coral reef. After his efforts, the area around the coral reef has become very lively.

The colorful polyps prey on their ciliated tentacles, and some zooxanthellae are scattered around, absorbing the carbon dioxide and phosphorus and nitrogen emitted by the polyps.

At the same time, the zooxanthellae release oxygen and carbohydrates, which are the food that the corals depend on, and the two sides form a symbiotic relationship.

In addition to zooxanthellae, there are also coral algae, cyanobacteria, brown algae, etc. on corals, which have only grown recently.

The cyanobacteria and brown algae were almost extinct here before, and it is estimated that there are only some 'seeds' left. When Qin Shigu used the mysterious energy to breed coral polyps, they also benefited.

It is also the existence of coral algae, cyanobacteria, and brown algae that attract fish such as crucian carp, which feed on these seaweeds.

He strolled around the bottom of the sea for a while, mainly exploring the shallow sea area, so it was impossible to find any treasures such as sunken ships. It was not interesting, so he planned to take his mind back.

But when he was retracting it, he encountered a strange little fish. This little fish was about the length of a palm, with blue and red intersecting, and its body color was bright. Its body was covered with small black spots, and there was a red band on its side, which looked like a rainbow. Sex is very strong.

Qin Shiou was a little curious, he should know this kind of fish, this is the famous rainbow trout.

Rainbow trout is a specialty fish in North America. It belongs to the treasures of cold water fish. Its meat is delicious. In some places, its fish is even used to pretend to be salmon. It often appears in Hong Kong dramas.

However, as far as Qin Shiou knows, rainbow trout should be freshwater fish, generally living in some rivers in North America, Alaska, Canada and other places, how can it be in the sea?

This little fish is very irritable and seems to have encountered something. It may have just escaped from the mouth of the natural enemy. Most fish in the ocean live in groups. Schools of fish stray outside.

Qin Shiou's mind was shrouded, and the little fish suddenly calmed down, following Qin Shiou's lead all the way, it also reached the coral reef, and then shook its head and waggled its tail to look for food.

If there was nothing else, Qin Shiou recovered his mind. He then went to the Internet to check, and then suddenly realized.

That little fish was indeed a type of rainbow trout, called steelhead trout, which was a rare migratory fish among trout, and grew in the river and sea.

Qin Shiou now understands that if a fishery is to develop, coral reefs are indispensable, which can provide food and shelter for fish.

After thinking about it, he went to Shaq and asked, "Dude, do you know how to make coral grow faster?"

Shaq didn't know why, Qin Shiou explained the relationship, and after understanding it, he said embarrassedly: "Boss, this is not easy, we used to have a lot of corals here, but later the water quality got worse and worse, the corals survived. not going down."

Generally speaking, corals like to live in warm, transparent and nutrient-poor tropical shallow waters, but they are diverse and widely distributed, and there are also many coral species in temperate and frigid shallow waters.

They are even found in the deep-sea waters of the frigid zone. For example, the American "Geographic Magazine" reported that they once found a black horned coral at a depth of 8,800 meters.

But corals are very delicate creatures. They are very sensitive to the salinity, pH, light transparency, oxygen content and water pollution of seawater. Now, with the increase in seawater acidity caused by carbon dioxide pollution, corals are facing a huge survival crisis.

The reason why the corals in the waters around Farewell Island died so badly should be related to water pollution. When Qin Shiou's mind entered the ocean, he instinctively felt uncomfortable because of the pollution.

"What if the water quality improves?" Qin Shiou asked.

Shaq said: "That's easy to do. We can throw stones and wooden frames on the bottom of the sea. As long as the skeleton is constructed, the coral polyps will cling to it. After a long time, it will extend into a coral reef."

Qin Shiou nodded and understood, and began to plan how to artificially create coral reefs in the future.

The maple sugar was boiled until the afternoon, and when Shaq went to town, Shaq brought back a few children. These children were elated when they saw the almost golden maple sugar, and it was always the children who liked sugar.

The children were all seven or eight years old. Shaq patted the biggest little guy and proudly introduced: "Boss, this is my son, little Shaq, the warrior and treasure of the Sardinson family."

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, are Canadians too lazy to name their children? Why is it not the same name as his father or his grandfather's name? This was the case with Robert Black IV, the former owner of Ritchie's, and now Shaq's son is the same.

Maple syrup is very simple to eat. Use an ice machine to make some clean snow, pour maple syrup on it one by one, and eat it after cooling.

Qin Shiou ate one, and the maple syrup dipped in snow was sweet but not greasy. Because of the snow, it was simply cold and bright, much better than domestic lollipops.

Auerbach instructed Qin Shiou to use maple sugar to make maple pudding, which is a Newfoundland specialty snack baked with fresh cream, maple syrup, egg yolk and some mint leaves.

The process is not complicated. Stir the egg yolk with cream and maple syrup, then filter the maple pudding liquid with a fine mesh, then pour it into the model and use a spoon to break the surface air bubbles, and finally bake it in the oven. It is very convenient to put it in the refrigerator to eat and reheat at any time.

There was nothing else to do in the afternoon, Shaq was busy calculating what to buy, Qin Shiou was watching TV series on the sofa with a plate of fruit salad and maple pudding, and the direct connection was North American cable TV. Although it was a premium channel, the quality of the program was poor. Quite high, at least without interstitials.

One day passed like this. At night, Qin Shiou had nothing to do and was going to go to the bar to play, but the car wouldn't start, which made him quite depressed, and he made up his mind to buy a car tomorrow!
