    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 they split up to look for equipment and tools, and used a lot of things.

    Qin Shiou chose the second largest pumpkin, which he estimated to be more than 1,800 pounds. In fact, the most suitable weight for pumpkins 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 kept for a long time.

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

    The ripe pumpkin exuded a bright yellow light, and the taste was a little strange, but it was bearable. Qin Shiou dug around inside with a sharp knife and quickly dug out a hole.

    Father Qin came over and said, "What are you doing? Have nothing to do? The crops in the fields are ripe, and there are so many grapes in the vineyards. You might as well go and pick them up while you have the time."

    Qin Shiou said nonchalantly: "Dad, don't worry about it. The grapes are used to make ice wine and can only be picked after it snows. There are only a few crops in the field. Just find a machine to harvest them later."

    Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Qin's father said dissatisfiedly: "There is only one or two acres of grain, how can we use the machine? As long as you have time to play here, we will sort it out."

    Qin Shiou stood up and coaxed the old man away: "Dad, go and see the melon. I'm on business here. Wei Ni is going to organize a pumpkin boat race. Don't I have to support her in her work?"

    After hearing this, Qin¡¯s father said no more. Supporting Wei Ni¡¯s work was indeed what he asked Qin Shiou to do.

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

    Bird moved the knife like flying. His wrist shook rapidly, and pieces of pumpkin flesh were cut off like butter. Each piece was almost the same size, which showed how superb his knife skills were.

    "Okay, boss." Twenty minutes later, Bird nodded to indicate that it was okay.

    Now the general outline of the pumpkin boat was revealed. Qin Shiou poked his head in to take a look. The pumpkin flesh had been scraped slippery, and the inside was much smoother than the outside. It looked like it had been polished with sandpaper. He couldn't help but praise: "Well done."  You have to be beautiful, Bird, just for this sword skill, I have to give you a raise."

    Bird rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "What's the appropriate amount to add?"

    Qin Shiou glanced at him and said, "Are you serious? Go to work quickly. The boss is just teasing you."

    Bird didn¡¯t care, smiled and went to help others peel the pumpkin flesh.

    According to the requirements of the Canadian labor union, employees must have a salary increase every 12 months, starting at 8%. Qin Shiou thought about it and decided that it was time for him to raise the salaries of fishermen and soldiers.

    "Time flies so fast." Qin Daguan began to sigh with emotion again.

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

    Qin Shiou used a brush to brush the pumpkin inside and out several times until the pumpkin flesh could no longer absorb formalin. Qin Shiou stopped. At this time, the whole grass smelled of formalin.

    Prop the pumpkin up and point it due south to start exposing it to the sun. This weather is not suitable. Even though St. John's is located in the south of Canada, the sunshine becomes too soft in November. The advantage is that the sea breeze in the fishing ground is strong and the sea breeze can blow up.  Good dehydration effect.

    The sea monster told him an idea, which was to use an electric heater to bake.

    The winter on Farewell Island is cold and humid. Fireplaces and air conditioners alone are not enough, so every household will always have an electric heater, which is what Qin Shiou's family calls the little sun.

    This thing¡¯s electric heat conversion efficiency is extremely high. When turned on at high power, it¡¯s really no worse than the summer sun.

    The pumpkin is very big. If you put two electric heaters back to back and turn them on, you can roast them from the inside out.

    During these two days, Qin Shiou needs to constantly apply formalin during the electric baking process, making sure to let it soak thoroughly to completely meet the high-strength anti-corrosion standards.

    Two days later, the pumpkin flesh was tanned to a dark yellow color and felt hard to the touch, and there was a strong smell of formalin inside.  That's ready for the next step, which is gluing and painting.

    First, apply a layer of turbid quick-drying glue on the outside 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. In addition, it is waterproof.

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

    Qin Shiou¡¯s pumpkin was going to be used by Shirley. He asked the big Lolita what color to paint it on, and the Big Lolita said without even thinking: ¡°Of course white, who makes me a pure and invincible little beauty?¡±

    Qin Shiou twitched the corner of his mouth, silently applied white paint, and asked: "Then what do you draw on it?"

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

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

    After receiving his assurance, the big loli jumped to school. When she came back from school, she was dumbfounded. She screamed and found Qin Shiou, pointed at the dark blue patch on the pumpkin and asked: "What's going on, Qin  , did someone deliberately sabotage our warship?"

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

    Shirley was shocked and said: "The world's ocean is just a deep blue?"

    Qin Shiou said seriously: "How can it be dark blue? Look, the outside circle is light blue, which represents the shallow sea. 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 this? An island! Look, this little dot, this is our farewell island. I specially marked it with gold, how about it?"

    The big Loli looked at him blankly, her mouth open and her eyes lifeless. Qin Daguan felt that she was silly, innocent, beautiful and cute at this moment.

    "Okay, Qin, you win, then let's go see what other people have painted on their pumpkins, shall we?" Shirley said weakly.

    Qin Shiou readily agreed. The first thing they saw was the big pumpkin boat that the sea monster got for Gordon. A battleship was 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?!"
