"What do you think of here? There will be no animals, nor will there be wild vegetables. Apart from a few trees, it is mud. I suggest not to go up there." Hai Monster said disapprovingly.

Shaq agreed and smiled: "When I was a child, these islands were bigger. We often came up to play and used them as adventures. We called these islands in the lake 'pirate's nests', but every time we got nothing except muddy."

"Maybe you can find the treasures buried in that year on this." Qin Shiou said. He supported the fishing ground to the shore, tried to see if the ground had dried up, so he jumped off the boat and went onto the island.

Shaq and the sea monster looked at each other and were a little moved. Yes, what if we could find the "treasure" buried on it in our childhood?

Most of the people who can survive on this island are metasequoia, pond shirts and willow trees. These trees are rooted in the soil, with trunks either leaning, straight, or graceful, with graceful and beautiful postures.

What surprised Qin Shiou was that these trees had been living in the water for a long time and changed in many places, such as their roots turned into bright water red!

It is incorrect that Shaq and the sea monster say that nothing is here. At least there are many small fish, shrimps, and freshwater crabs hiding on the coast. The fallen leaves and rotting roots over the years provide these small aquatic creatures with abundant nutrition to attract them to live.

In addition, this small island has become a resting place for birds. They fish in the lake and stay here when they are tired. There are more than a hundred trees on the shore, and almost every tree has more than one bird nest.

In this way, birds defecate around the island, and bird droppings are also nutritious food for fish, making there more fish around the island.

Qin Shiou lifted some rotten leaves on the shore and found several North American pikes, river herrings and small lying fish fled in panic.

It's very pitiful to say that these fish were the former owners of Chenbao Lake. Now they are forced by Asian carp and can only run to the shore to find a living space.

"Oh, there are so many less water plants in the lake. Asian carp is so edible. If you continue to eat like this, sooner or later there will be no grass in the lake, and there will be no fish at that time." Shaq said depressedly after looking at the shore for a while.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Or we will hold a donation activity in the town, buy aquatic seeds, and plant them in Chenbao Lake, just like I did in the fishing grounds to grow seaweed."

The last time he bought a lot of grass seeds, seaweed species, etc., but they are all aimed at the ocean and cannot grow in freshwater waters.

In North America, greening and environmental protection have always been very hot topics, and it is quite expensive to do this. Chenbao Lake has an area of ​​80 to 90 square kilometers. If you plant aquatic plants on a large scale, it will cost at least 50,000 yuan of seeds.

The economic situation of the people who bid farewell to the town is not very good. Even a part of the 50,000 yuan is very stressful. This idea is destined to not work, because Canadians will look for the government if they have any trouble, especially this Chenbao Lake is still a public place.

After wandering around the island, no one had ever been here. The birds living inhabited their nests were built casually. Qin Shiou walked to a crooked willow tree, and there was a bird's nest just a little taller than his head.

As soon as Qin Shiou approached, a big bird flew up from the bird's nest, with gray and black feathers. It is a common North American river breeze in Canada.

The big bird ran away, and there were four eggs smaller than eggs in the nest. Qin Shiou held them in his hand and looked at them, and found that the eggs were still warm.

Seeing that his child was moved, Hewu, North American, kept circling and screaming over the island, probably calling Qin Shiou a bad thing.

Qin Shiou really wanted to make a bird egg and stir-fried leek. It was delicious and strong, but this was just an idea. He looked at it and put the bird eggs back.

This trip to the island was not without harvest. Because it was damp, especially at night, fog would appear on Chenbao Lake, so many mushrooms grew on the dead branches of the trees on the island. Qin Shiou recognized a kind of fungus with gray umbrella cover and brown-yellow umbrella handle. This is very famous in his hometown, called mountain mushrooms.

Qin Shiou is very affectionate about this kind of mushroom. When he was a child, his family was not in good condition and he usually had no meat to eat. Usually, after the rain, his mother would search among the old wood in the yard and find this kind of mountain mushroom. After frying it in oil, it was very fragrant and tasted better than fatty meat.

There were other mushrooms in the woods, so Qin Shiou didn't recognize them. Shaq and the sea monster knew each other and kept introducing him: "This is the brazilian mushroom, you can eat it, this is the Newfoundland straw mushroom, which tastes good too; Oh, I have found Ontario red mushroom here before, which tastes even more beautiful..."

Qin Shiou took off his clothes and carefully picked some mushrooms and mushrooms that he could eat, especially the mountain mushrooms. The more he found, they had to add up to three or four kilograms.

"We can't eat so much, right?" Shaq asked. Canadians pick things in the wild, whether they are fungi or berries, because this is the education they received since childhood.

Qin Shiou said: "Fry the fresh ones and eat them, and then I dry the rest after the oil, which tastes even better."

Fungi don’t have to care about protection. As long as you leave mycelium for them, it will leave seeds, humidity, temperature and light, and they will grow again. These things rot quickly. If Qin Shiou doesn’t pick them, they will rot in a few days.

Shaq and the Sea Monster admired Qin Shiou's cooking skills. They heard that this thing can be made into delicious food. They were more vigorous than Qin Shiou's drying. They divided them into two routes to cover the island and picked all the mountain mushrooms that could be found.

After a while of shooting fish, the three of them shot more than forty Asian carp. They were a little tired and prepared to go back. As a result, they met Tang Ji and Hamre. The two of them were carrying various diving tools and detectors on the boat. Qin Shiou greeted him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Tang Ji waved enthusiastically and explained: "Let's go to the water to see if we can find some more fossils. By the way, Qin, did you find the golden kitchen shark teeth fossils there last time?"

Qin Shiou scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "You have passed the exam. Man, I was busy shooting fish at that time and didn't notice this."

Hamre and Tangji sighed regretfully, so they could only find a needle in a haystack.

Yes, looking for needles in a haystack. Compared with Chenbao Lake, which is eighty or ninety square kilometers, their way to finding fossils is to look for needles in a haystack.

Qin Shiou asked: "Is it important to find those fossils?"

If it is indeed important, he finds an opportunity to use the consciousness of the sea god to search at the bottom of the lake.

Hamre nodded and said, "Yes, if those fossils can be found, the government can give us rewards. If there are many fossils found, we can even set up an exhibition hall in the town, so that we can make money and improve some of the town's infrastructure, such as buying some grass seeds into Shenbao Lake."

When Qin Shiou heard Hamre say this, he admired him a little. The mayor was very competent and had been racking his brains for the development of the town. When he was in China, he did not see any mayor who would personally go to the lake to dive and search for possible fossils in order to help the town improve people's livelihood.

Qin Shiou thought about it hard. He put the consciousness of the sea god into the lake, probably remembering the place where he found the teeth of the golden kitchen shark last time, leading the way for the two of them before leaving.

It was already lunch time, Shaq and Hai Monster baked bread and waited for Qin Shiou to make fried mountain mushrooms with oil.

This dish is very simple. It tastes delicious as the shiitake mushrooms. After boiling the oil, put the torn shiitake mushrooms into the oil pan, and finally add coarse salt and a little soy sauce.

To make this dish, you have to use coarse salt instead of fine salt. The coarse salt cannot be dispersed. If you bite it in one bite, the deliciousness of the mountain mushrooms and the salty taste after chewing the salt grains are blended together, which is simply amazing.

Shaq and Hai Monster were eaten with bread, while Qin Shiou cooked pasta and mixed noodles with fried oil, which was particularly fragrant.

"It's a pity that there is no lard anymore, otherwise it would be delicious if it was fried with lard." Qin Shiou sighed while sucking the noodles.

Shaq groaned and bit the bread and said vaguely: "We started work in the afternoon, lead a branch from the river, and then change the chickens, ducks and pigs to make them grow faster. Then, wouldn't we be able to eat it as soon as possible?"

After doing it, eating and drinking, Shaq went to the town to find a small excavator, rumbling into the fishing ground, found an open place from the woods, and began to dig branches.

They found a straight line and designed it to dig it into a tributary about one meter wide and half a meter deep, which was equivalent to diverting the mountain river.

Auerbach happened to come to play, and Qin Shiou said to him proudly: "How is it, old man, can the work we do be a feat?"

Looking at him strangely, Auerbach asked, "You want the river to pass through the creek, right? Then, since that's the case, why not build the creek upstream of the creek? Wouldn't it be enough to span the two sides of the creek?"

Qin Shiou blinked after hearing his words, and the sea monster next to him blinked. Seeing that they were quiet, Shaq jumped out of the excavator and asked what was going on.

Upon learning Auerbach's suggestion, Shaq blinked and no one spoke.

Only then did Qin Shiou realize that after being with a fool for a long time, his IQ would decrease...

"What should I do now?" Shaq asked, looking at the fence that had been tied.

Qin Shiou looked at the tributary channels that had been dug halfway, waved his hand weakly and said, "Forget it, man, continue to dig, but the digging is shallow, and the depth of twenty centimeters is enough. Let's not change the river channel, just open a tributary."

Shaq continued to start work. After getting on the excavator, he was about to light the fire when he suddenly started shouting, saying, "Hey, little bear, I saw a little brown bear!"

Qin Shiou hurried over and the sea monster shouted: "Come back, boss, we have to prepare the gun! We need the gun!"
