Queen Nalibe was one of the first small ports to be blocked by the Ministry of Fisheries, and commercial cod fishing was not allowed here for a decade.

But the decline of cod, the port's mainstay of the industry, led to the collapse of the port's economy: first the fishing industry shrank, then the fish processing plants of all kinds closed, then many people moved out, and shops closed one after another, until last year, when the only school in the area was closed.

When he said this, the bald boss was a little depressed, and he said: "You see, the houses here are built in a scattered manner, and they look terrible, right? No, in fact, this was not the case before, these vacant lots used to have houses, and our houses were planned and built according to the streets, but unfortunately later the neighbors immediately dragged the houses away. ”

Qin Shiou walked silently on the road, this small fishing ground had too many similarities with the farewell town a year and a half ago, with a collapsing economy, an aging population, and muddy fishermen.

However, Canada is a great place to stay, with lots of wildflowers on both sides of the road, as well as berries like blackberries and blueberries.

There are very few cars, and the pollution is very light, so Qin Shiou can eat the berries directly.

Seeing him eat these wild fruits directly, Buck, who lost the most money yesterday, said disdainfully: "Hillbilly." ”

Qin Shiou smiled good-naturedly, he was not very comfortable now, and he was lazy to see this thing, so he said: "I won two million." ”

Barker's eyes immediately turned red.

Walking on the road, occasionally they could meet a few old fishermen dressed in water, and the bald boss greeted these people, and these people nodded to Qin Shiou and his party in a friendly manner. Then slowly and leisurely home, it seems to be a bit of a paradise.

The fishing village is now only home to the elderly and children. For the sake of the future, young people have the knowledge, culture and ability to go to the big cities for development. Those who have no knowledge and culture either go to work for the fishing grounds, or work hard to work on the more lucrative offshore oil drilling-well leveling.

"There are still six children in total, and when they leave, our fishing village will really say goodbye to history." The bald boss smiled bitterly.

When passing by a simple dry goods store on the way, the gray-haired proprietress looked at the group and greeted them warmly: "Gentlemen, do you want dried fish, fish fillets, dried shrimp?" It's all made by hand, it tastes good and clean, don't you want to buy some? ”

This group of people just has no shortage of seafood, and they don't know who to sell what they have in their fishing grounds. So naturally they all shook their heads.

Qin Shiou looked at the proprietress's rough skin and bent back, and shook his head, and then when the group returned to the small hotel to move freely, he came to the proprietress again.

Seeing him coming, the proprietress hurriedly greeted, a black Newfoundland dog ran over to look at him, sniffed around curiously, the proprietress shouted 'battleship', and the little black dog jumped and ran away.

These dried fish are indeed artificially dried. The snow-white cod meat is a little yellowish because the fat in the fish meat is secreted, and the taste is better.

In general, the yellow fish in the market is dyed yellow with food coloring, because it takes time and effort to make it into this look. It also needs to be cleaned constantly, so it is difficult to produce it on an industrial scale.

Qin Shiou ate a few dried shrimps and dried scallops, and the umami was full of sweet and salty taste. Excellent quality.

He asked the price and the hostess offered him a low price. Dried cod is only 14 yuan a catty, and dried shrimp is 42 yuan a catty. Dried scallops are 70 yuan a catty, and some other dry goods are also given low prices.

Qin Shiou asked for it all, he left the address for the proprietress and asked her to ship it directly by courier.

"All of them?" The proprietress asked in surprise, she has a lot of dry goods here.

Qin Shiou nodded, after weighing and calculating, there were more than 400 catties of dried cod, more than 90 catties of dried shrimp, more than 50 catties of dried scallops, and some dried fish roe, dried sea cucumbers, grilled fish bones and other things, the proprietress calculated that it was more than 16,000 yuan in total.

Coupled with the freight, Qin Shiou gave the proprietress 18,000, and the proprietress said that they would just pay the freight, Qin Shiou smiled and said that it was better to forget it, or he would give it.

The shipping cost of these things is not cheap, at least thousands of yuan, it is just a few meals for Qin Shiou, and for the proprietress's family, it may be a month or two of living expenses.

After buying these things, Qin Shiou also took a photo, and then sent it to Butler, and called and said: "I received some good dry goods in a small fishing village, and it is estimated that I will be able to get to St. John's in two days, and the next time I come to pick up the catch, you can take it to Miami and sell it for a high price." ”

Butler has a work ethic, and he is embarrassed and says, "Isn't this kind of behavior okay? The sign I played, but it is based on your fishing ground, telling all our customers that our seafood is raised in a specific area. ”

Qin Shiou smiled: "It's not simple? Our brand can't always be the catch of our own fishery, right? There are too few varieties, and it definitely won't work! Therefore, the brand should be divided into two categories, one is my output, and the other is the good goods that have been certified by us! ”

Hearing Qin Shiou say this, Butler laughed and said that you kid is a natural businessman.

Qin Shiou hung up the phone and smiled bitterly, what kind of natural businessman, what Tmall in China and Amazon abroad, don't they all have self-operated and consignment channels? He just changed the product.

He has checked the quality of this batch of dry goods, even if his fishing ground comes to dry, it may not be able to meet this standard, because there is not so much energy and patience, so as long as you find a suitable channel to sell, it is certain to make money.

The lunch was left in the hotel, and before eating, the boss suddenly found Qin Shiou and said, "Young man, you bought the things of Ollie's family?" ”

Qin Shiou estimated that what he said was those dry goods, so he nodded and asked what was wrong.

The bald boss laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you, I heard that you gave Ollie a good price, I haven't seen such a kind guy as you for a long time, I will treat you to toad crabs at noon." ”

The others then also understood what the bald boss said, and Buck looked at Qin Shiou with disdain again, and said, "Hypocrisy! ”

Qin Shiou smiled happily: "I spent 18,000 yuan, and there are 1,982,000 yuan left, I love to bet." ”

Not only Buck, but even Charco's eyes were red, and he roared: "You were lucky yesterday, gamble again, do you dare?" ”

"Say, what are you betting on?" Qin Shiou smiled easily.

"Texas Hold'em!"

"Don't bet! Playing cards and gambling for money is a bad boy! ”

"Stud!"

"No brains? It's all said that it's a bad boy who plays cards and gambles for money! ”

"Bet on horses!"

"Bet on your spicy next door!"

"What?"

"Don't gamble, think for yourself, come to me again if you come to me with a project I'm interested in, and now I'm going to catch toads and crabs with the boss." Qin Shiou waved his hand, thinking that it was not interesting to tease these little teases, so he learned from the master to pose that his life was as lonely as snow and left with his hands behind his back.
