486. Something Happened (1/10)

The brutal ten-in-a-row shift has begun, everyone is ready, and then the trouble of having a monthly pass in your hand will vote, hehe, thank you

Canada is a country of immigrants, and the people do not really value national sovereignty, and their sense of belonging to the country is not strong, which can be seen from the fact that they are willing to accept the nominal rule of the British royal family.

The British rule over India was the most attentive and conscientious, but as soon as the Indians had the opportunity to become independent, they immediately demanded complete independence and separated the British government from India itself.

Canada doesn't have this problem, because the people have an attitude of indifference, and they value nostalgia more.

The British BBC radio station once launched a large-scale public opinion survey in Canada, and found that in the hearts of Canadians, the family status is the first, the community is second, the province and city are second, and finally the country is the turn.

This kind of thing is a bit far away for Canadians, so the Canadian table was so sluggish during World War II, and if it weren't for the fall of Britain itself, they wouldn't want to refer to it.

Germans rule the world? Oh, then let him rule, can't the Germans rule us with bread and cod?

Newfoundlanders will say they are Newfoundlanders when they are introduced to the outside world, and they rarely say they are Canadians.

For a rural town like Farewell Town, their sense of identity with the country is even lower, and the town day is more solemn than the national day, and it is for this reason that they have a sense of identity.

At half past five on Saturday morning, the town day officially began, and the town government prepared sixteen cannons. The Unity is an old-fashioned mortar of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, mounted on fishing boats.

The Harvest was in the limelight in the Bay of St. Lawrence some time ago. Given the opportunity to carry a casemate, a total of four guns were mounted on the left side of the ship. In the early morning, the bows of the fishing boats are aimed to the east, and the cannons are aimed at the northern seas.

Four fishing boats lined up in a row at the pier, and a round of morning sun slowly rose from the sea, and the orange-red light shone on the sea, showing a warm color.

Nelson, Bird, Shaq and the sea monster on the Harvest are in control of a cannon, and after Hamlet gives a message on the walkie-talkie, Qin Shiou asks them to light the fuse and fire!

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

After a muffled sound, the bronze body of the mortar trembled. The huge recoiled strap, the Harvest floated back four or five meters, and the shells were fired, spontaneously combusting in the air, leaving behind colorful smoke bands that turned the sea surface colorful.

Each ship had four cannons, each firing four colored shells, for a total of sixty-four cannons.

The domestic tourists who stayed on the pier and watched laughed and talked, saying that the number four is the most taboo in the domestic festival, and it is addictive to say goodbye to the town, and the beginning is four four.

The salute shells used in this celebration are specially made. The main material is white phosphorus, and when the shell is fired, it rubs against the air and immediately burns up, releasing the color pigment inside.

Cannonballs glide all the way through the air. What is left behind is a rainbow of colored arcs that will remain in the air for more than a day, as long as the sea breeze is not too strong. For a long time, it felt like a rainbow was hanging on the pier.

After the gun salute, four fishing boats are open to visitors. For 50 yuan, you can get on the boat and go out to sea for some distance to fish, and the catch will be divided among the tourists.

It makes a good feeling for a group of tourists. Five hundred Canadian dollars is two thousand five hundred dollars, and they calculate that if they go to sea, how can the catch be more than two thousand five, right? They all signed up to get on board.

Qin Shiou looked at it hehe, the tourists are too naΓ―ve, this kind of going to sea is just a coping style to get a net off the coast and come back, at most an hour or two, how many things can be caught? It's definitely hard to get back to your roots, but you can have fun.

The town day officially began, and there is nothing special, there are generally three steps, one is to eat and drink, eat and drink; the second is to participate in activities and watch performances; The third is to set off fireworks on the shore of Shenbao Lake in the evening and enjoy a bonfire dinner.

Because the festivities start early, many people are hungry, so the townspeople make breakfast and bring it to the streets of the town, and the women carry baskets with food and drink, which they can go up and take to say hello.

Winnie made small meals such as omelettes, fried dumplings, and baked biscuits, and when a tourist went up to greet her, she gave her one.

However, tourists often come up to her not to ask for food, but to take pictures with her.

Today's Winnie wears a traditional British aristocratic tunic tunic dress, the same whalebone skirt that fainted the heroine Elizabeth Swanle in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", and wears a lady's large-brimmed hat on her head, which looks beautiful.

On the day of the town's anniversary, the townspeople tend to dress in the 16th and 7th centuries, and their clothes are traditional and gorgeous, which is also a sight.

A stage was set up in the middle of the town's streets, and Hamre invited a well-known local DJ band from St. John's, and several tattooed, long-haired young men sang wildly on the stage with guitars, leading the audience to howl along with them.

In order to facilitate unified deployment and prevent crowding due to excessive personnel, the town government temporarily leased and installed a Motorola intercom system base station in the town, and the vendors in the town have walkie-talkies to communicate with each other.

Qin Shiou found a barbecue stall and ordered a grilled foie gras, he didn't understand that this thing could also be grilled, the Europeans were really weird.

The owner of the barbecue stall gave him two sticks, cut them into slices and fried them with oil first, and then barbecued them, a total of four slices, one 15 yuan, the same as robbing money.

Qin Shiou pouted that it was too expensive, and the boss said proudly: "This is still expensive?" Dear Qin, this is a French barbecue, if it weren't for me, you would have to go to France! ”

"Damn, so tall?"

"Absolutely."

"Boss, how much does it cost to have a skewer of grilled foie gras?" A tourist asked.

"Ten yuan, if you don't need an invoice, it's a dollar cheaper."

When Qin Shiou heard this, he was immediately angry and shouted, "Isn't it fifteen yuan?" ”

The boss said firmly: "Don't be excited, dear Qin, I just learned a word with your compatriots, which is called killing the rich and helping the poor......"

"Shit, you profiteers!"

It's just a small episode, when Qin Shiou finally paid the bill, the boss charged him a total of 15 yuan, and squeezed his eyes and said, "That string is for you to eat." ”

There was a parking lot in front of the Hughes convenience store, and the cars were all removed, and there were inflatable skateboards in the open space, where a group of five, six, seven, and eight-year-olds were playing wildly.

As the weather warmed up towards noon, there were more and more activities, and because the town had a lot of Labradors, Newfoundland dogs, and other puppies, a greyhound race was held.

The competition is very simple, it is to see whose dog runs fast and jumps far, etc., and there are prizes to win, towels, bath towels, swimsuits and other small things.

Qin Shiou sent the tiger and the leopard up, now he won well, who can outrun the tiger and the leopard? The two little ones won him a bunch of towels, and he didn't have to buy them again this year anyway.

Qin Shiou was taking the tiger and leopard to kill in all directions, and the walkie-talkie in his hand suddenly rang: "Boss, come to Jiadeli Fishing Ground, something happened to the damn." (To be continued......) R1292
