Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 114 Nautilus

Du Kang was very excited when his work was appreciated by others, but he didn't urge him. After waiting for a long time, they still admired it without playing.

You were asked to work, not to play, and urged there, "Hurry up, everyone, it's getting late, and it will be dark after a while, so you don't want to work in the dark."

"Good good."

Several people hurriedly carried the wisteria in and dug a hole to bury it.

Lei Lao Liu did not go up as a contractor. When he saw the two bird nests under the eaves, Lei Lao Liu suddenly widened his eyes and said, "This...where did you get this bird nest?"

what did he seeThe bird's nest is made of rosewood!
How extravagant it is to use rosewood as a bird's nest!

What is even more extravagant is the decoration on it, which is actually made of silver, silver, it is used to decorate the bird's nest.

"I did it myself. I'm a carpenter and I can ask someone else to do it. What's the problem?"

"It's nothing."

Lei Laoliu was so shocked that he used red sandalwood and silver to make bird nests. Landlords in the past did not live such a luxurious life.

Several little shrikes poked their heads out of the bird's nest, flew down tentatively, and landed on the railing in the yard.

It started to leave the nest, the speed is really fast, the myna nest is still staying in the nest, let alone this month, it is good to be able to leave the nest in the first ten days of next month.

However, considering the growth rate of the shrike, it can be understood that the chick stays in the nest for only 13 to 15 days, that is to say, the little shrike will leave the nest to live alone in only [-] or [-] days.

Of course, as the price of growing so fast, they also eat very quickly. Adult shrikes must feed their chicks 17 to 24 times per hour, and this eating frequency is no one.

A few shrikes hadn't fully grown their feathers yet, and they were a little jerky in flying, and they couldn't fly high at all. Some landed on the railing, and some landed on the eaves, chirping, hoping to be fed by the old birds.

Two old shrikes ran over and landed on Du Kang's shoulders, asking him for food.

Du Kang took out the grasshoppers and gave them grasshoppers, and asked them to feed their children. He saw them eating with gusto, but Du Kang knew that this might be their last meal.

When the Shrike grows up, he will no longer be fed by the old birds, and can only leave and fly to nature alone.

As for keeping these shrikes, Du Kang has no interest. Why would he raise so many birds? They are not mynas who can talk, but raise a flock that can teach them to talk.

It's no use keeping that many Shrikes.

Lei Laoliu reminded, "These birds can already fly, and they will easily run away if you don't catch them."

"Birds, they must be released into nature and let them fly."

A tortoise crawled out, and a worker shouted, "Why are there still tortoises here?"

"This is raised by me. It is free-range in the yard. Be careful. There are more than a dozen tortoises. Don't step on them."

Lei Laoliu couldn't help but enviously said, "You're living a good life, this life is really nourishing."

"It's okay, life, you have to have some fun."

This is for fun?

Looking at the three-entry courtyard house where Du Kang lives, he always feels that he has lived on dogs in his life.

The movement in the yard had already alarmed Natalia. Seeing him uprooting the freshly planted flowers and planting such a plant, she asked a little strangely, "What are you doing with this? It doesn't look good."

"Who says it's not good-looking. This is a wisteria. The flowers of the wisteria can hang down for thirty to forty centimeters. Think about how beautiful such a purple bouquet hangs around the eaves."

Natalia thought that the picture was indeed very beautiful. "But it's not easy to achieve that effect, can you do it?"

"I don't look down on anyone, I'm still a master of green plants. I can make various shapes for green plants to achieve this effect. Moreover, wisteria flowers are also an ingredient that can be used to make various delicacies, such as purple radish cake, wisteria cake , wisteria porridge, fried wisteria fish, and wisteria flower salad are all made with wisteria flower.

Do you want to eat? "

"I think." Natalia nodded. Who is not a gourmet, she likes all kinds of food very much. Apart from traveling abroad, she wants to come out and get some inspiration. Another purpose is to taste food from all over the world.

As a result, he was attracted by Du Kang's ability as soon as he came to Sijiu City, and finally stayed here to settle down.

After they planted the wisteria, Du Kang began to water it. In order to make the wisteria achieve the effect he wanted, Du Kang also specially used skill points to learn landscaping and how to cultivate the wisteria. beautiful view.

He taught Lei Lao Liu the promised money and asked him to divide it by himself. Lei Lao Liu hesitated and said, "I see that you like collecting antiques very much. I wonder if you like dragon bones?"

Du Kang was stunned for a moment and didn't realize what a keel was, but then he remembered that he was talking about fossils.

When talking about fossils, it is inevitable to talk about keels, and when talking about keels, it is necessary to talk about traditional Chinese medicine.Because keel is included in the list of traditional Chinese medicine as a blind medicinal material in China.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" has records in this regard.It is used to treat various diseases such as amnesia, spermatorrhea, typhoid fever, blood drowning in men and women, umbilical sores in children, vaginal sweating and itching.In the early 20th century, the annual export volume reached hundreds of thousands of catties, medicinal.

It was enough for humans back then to take fossils as medicine.

"What kind of keel?"

"A few snail shells, but they are very big, much larger than ordinary snail shells, more than a foot in length. They were left by my ancestors. It is said that they were rewards from the court back then."

That is not forty centimeters, such a large shell, Du Kang is still very interested.

He asked, "Where is it, let me see."

"at my house."

Du Kang went home with Lei Laoliu, and soon saw that the shells were exactly as he said, more than one foot long, and they were well preserved. They were placed there and occupied a lot of space.

Seeing these snail shells, Du Kang knew that they were the fossils of nautilus, which had distinct characteristics of nautilus.

Don't think it's too big. In fact, a nautilus that is more than one foot long is just a small part. The largest nautilus fossil is 11 meters long, which is very huge.

Of course, it is a long nautilus. It is not like a common snail carrying a house like a snail. If it is really long, it is no problem to make a house.

After all, ordinary houses do not necessarily have a length of 11 meters and a width of [-] square meters. If a house of [-] square meters is square, it is only [-] meters long and wide. This is not counted as the shared area, and the actual area is even smaller.

Back then, with a body size of 11 meters, the nautilus was definitely considered a giant among the snails, and it was a ruthless character standing at the top of the food chain.

It looked good, so Du Kang inquired about the price and bought it, not to mention that it would be nice to keep it at home as a decoration.

"Watermelon, big, sweet watermelon."

On the way back, Du Kang couldn't help feeling greedy when he heard someone yelling for watermelons. In summer, the heat was unbearable. It would be nice to have iced watermelon to relieve the heat.

Although it is not so hot now, it is very refreshing to taste watermelon, so I went to buy a few watermelons.

Back home, Du Kang displayed the nautilus fossil in the living room to show off, Natalia said disdainfully, "It's just a nautilus fossil, you'd be ashamed to display it, I have a lot of them in my house."

Please, can you stop showing off, the fossils that were originally in good shape suddenly paled when she heard her say that.

Du Kang said angrily, "So what if you have one at home, if you have the ability, you can get me two live nautiluses."

"How can I get you something that is extinct."

"Who told you the nautilus was extinct?"

Natalia retorted: "The nautilus is a species that existed [-] million years ago, do you think there are still?"

It is common sense that ancient creatures have become extinct. No creature can survive for a long time. Whenever the environment changes greatly, creatures that cannot adapt to the environment will become extinct.

The nautilus existed [-] million years ago, and it is normal for it to become extinct after a long period of time. Many people may think that the nautilus has become extinct, but the fact is that the nautilus still exists today.

It survived the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction, it survived the late Devonian mass extinction, it survived the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, it survived the Triassic-Jurassic The mass extinction of creatures, even the most well-known mass extinction of dinosaurs has survived, and it still exists today.

Therefore, the nautilus is called the living fossil of the animal kingdom.

Of course, compared with the giants that could grow up to 11 meters back then, the current nautilus has lost its glory in the past, and generally grows to about 20 centimeters. Than, has become a little bit.

A smile appeared on the corner of Du Kang's mouth, and he told what he knew about the nautilus. Natalia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the extinct nautilus still exists, and insisted, "So what if it exists, I think You can find it soon. Do you still want me to apologize to you?"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

I didn't say anything, why am I still angry, it really is the girl's mind, don't guess, you don't understand after guessing.

Who made brutality a woman's nature, and being unreasonable is a woman's patent.

But if you want to play your temper in front of me, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Du Kang took out the watermelon, patted it, and said to himself, "Let's go, I will eat the big and sweet watermelon by myself. Cut the watermelon from the middle and dig it with a spoon. Don't mention the taste, it is a kind of sweetness. Wonderful treat."

Natalia looked back, pouted and didn't speak, and didn't come over.

Du Kang used a spoon to dig the watermelon and ate it, poking his mouth from time to time, pretending to be enjoying the food.

Natalia couldn't take it anymore, snatched the spoon angrily, and picked up the other half of the watermelon to taste.

Du Kang took out another spoon from the space, waved it to her triumphantly, and continued to taste it.

This performance made Natalia's teeth itch with hatred, and she came over and snatched the spoon away.

Du Kang took out another spoon, and Natalia stared at him angrily, intending to snatch the spoon again. Thinking of Du Kang's wonderful magic technique, who knows how many spoons he had in his hand, she couldn't snatch them all. come over.

He simply went out with the watermelon in his arms, but it came out of nowhere.
