Chapter 117 The East Neverland and the Cocoa Tree

According to the design drawings, Fantasy Island is divided into "West Fantasy Island" and "East Fantasy Island" from the middle. West Fantasy Island remains almost the same - the original style, with forests, shrubs, and wildly growing grass.

The East Fantasy Island will be built into a city park, with neat stone roads, staggered stone paths, and high and low "artistic" trees, flowers and plants, and finally put some big stones to let the stones Integrate with flowers and trees.

Three days later.

"Ah~ After a busy day, eating iced watermelon is really comfortable!" Li Shu and Li Sha ate the watermelon with sand in the sunset, laughing and talking loudly, feeling relaxed and heroic after busy work.

"The construction of the drainage system and the three main roads going north-south was completed in three days. Our speed is already super fast." Uncle Hai wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth and said:

"But thanks to Boss Jing, this kid is really worth 10 people alone! Without him, I'm afraid the progress would not be so fast now.".

"Hey, this is what I should do." Boss Jing rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Boss Jing's physique is very special, and he can rest for an hour or two every day. He used to spend a lot of time looking for ancient shipwrecks on the seabed, but now he has stopped searching for shipwrecks, and instead spends a lot of time on building the East Dream Island.

"Haha, Boss Jing does the most work. After the construction of East Neverland is completed, I will give you a big red envelope, and everyone else will also have red envelopes!" Li Shu said with a big smile.

Uncle Hai, Li Sha and the others instantly rejoiced.

The little girl who was sipping watermelon also jumped up, raised her hands high and said: "Brother, I, I, I, I have also contributed to the construction of Neverland, and I want red envelopes too!".

"Pfft~Okay, you have it too!" Li Shu even smiled and touched the little girl's head.

A few days later, Li Shu and the others finally built East Neverland like ants moving house. When the last coconut tree was planted, Uncle Hai, Li Sha, Boss Jing and others applauded excitedly Come.

"Have a barbecue party tonight!" Li Shu waved his big hand and laughed, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic in an instant.

After dinner, the sunset glow in the sky has not completely dissipated, and the remaining afterglow is still shining on Neverland. Li Shu started to visit "East Neverland" with his hands behind his back.

"The entire Neverland is elliptical, with a long axis of 500 meters and a short axis of 300 meters, with a total area of ​​177 mu, or 118,000 square meters.

Baicao Garden is in the very center of the island, taking the north-south straight line where Baicao Garden is located as the axis, dividing Fantasy Island into "West Fantasy Island" and "East Fantasy Island".

"West Fantasy Island" maintains its original style, while "East Fantasy Island" is built into a city park. "Li Shu was thinking while walking on the north-south stone road with a width of 1.5 meters.

"Brother, brother, there is a big cocoa tree growing fruit!" The little girl suddenly ran out of the bushes on the right, shouting excitedly.

"Go, go and have a look!" Li Shulian took the little girl's hand, left the 1.5-meter-wide stone road, entered the 1-meter-wide medium stone road on the right, walked for about 30 meters, turned south again, and entered a 70-centimeter-wide road. , a winding path made of black and white stones.

A huge cocoa tree with a height of 12 meters and leaves a bit like peach leaves came into view. Olive-shaped fruits about 20 cm long were hanging on the trunk. At first glance, there were no less than a hundred of them.

"The cocoa tree is so beautiful, like a clump of mushrooms, and the big red fruits look very festive. It is worthwhile for me to consume chalcedony water to plant 15 cocoa trees in East Fantasy Island." Li Shu said silently in his heart. thinking.

"Brother, brother, why are the fruits of the cocoa tree red?" The little girl raised her head like a curious baby.

"Uh, this... There is a saying that the red fruit will be very obvious among the green leaves, which can attract animals to pick them and help them spread the seeds." Li Shu could see the novelty in the little girl's eyes, even Pick her up and hold her high so she can touch the cocoa fruit on the tree.

"Hee hee, the skin of this fruit is a bit hard, not as soft as the big orange cat's hair, and it is really big, much bigger than my palm." The little girl stroked the cocoa fruit with her small hands.

The corner of Li Shu's mouth raised, and he said: "There are a lot of cocoa beans in the cocoa fruit, and the cocoa beans can be used to make chocolate. When these cocoa fruits are ripe in a few days, let's make chocolate.".

The little girl looked bewildered. She pinched the huge red cocoa fruit about 20 centimeters long and found that she couldn't pinch it: "Cocoa beans? Chocolate?".

"Yes, it's easy to understand with an analogy, cocoa beans = wheat grains, chocolate = cake.

To make a cake, you first need to grind wheat grains into flour, then add eggs, sugar, cream, etc., and after some processes, it becomes a delicious cake.

To make chocolate is similar, you need to grind cocoa beans into powder first, then add milk, sugar, almonds, nuts, etc., and after some processes, it becomes delicious chocolate. "Li Shu explained, putting her sister on the ground, the little girl is still young, more explanations will help her form a more scientific cognitive system.

"I understand!" The little girl was very happy.

East Dream Island has three "main stone roads" running north-south. These stone roads are 1.5 meters wide; the main stone roads are connected by "medium stone roads". "fashionable".

The "medium stone roads" are connected with each other by "stone paths". These stone paths are 70 cm wide and are paved with small stones. Some stones of different colors form a grass or a flower pattern. The shape is very beautiful.

The land is divided into pieces by roads, lawns are laid on the land, some half-meter-high flowers, one-meter-high shrubs, 2-meter-high mango trees, peach trees, apricot trees, and several meters or even tens of meters Coconut trees, palm trees, cocoa trees, etc., are patchwork and very beautiful.

"It's cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to rain, let's go back.".

"OK.".

As soon as Li Shu and the little girl returned to the villa in the north, a huge lightning bolt appeared in the sky. The lightning like the root of a tree was breathtaking, and then there was a rumbling thunder, and the heavy rain fell instantly, and the windows were cracked and cracked. .

"Meow~".

The big orange cat rushed towards the villa like an afterimage, Li Shulian opened the door for it, huh~ Accompanied by a gust of cold wind mixed with raindrops, the big orange cat rushed into the villa, then lay down on the floor and licked its fur pitifully.

"Silly cat, it's raining." Li Shu said with a smile.

"Meow!" The big orange cat snorted unconvincingly, and continued to lick its fur. After a while, the hair dried, then jumped on the sofa and lay down, looking out of the window with a little sadness—the group of ants had just dug up the ants Nest, it's raining again, I'm afraid the ant nest will be hard to keep again!
