Winnie said her thoughts, and Qin Shiou suddenly realized that this had nothing to do with him, it was the town's tourism development needs.

After listening to Winnie's words, Polly was not so surprised, he smiled bitterly and asked, "Mrs. Qin, are you sure this can work?" I don't want to hit you, but I want you to check first to see if Coach Sightseeing Carriages are allowed in St. John's for tourism. ”

Seeing that Qin Shiou was puzzled, Polly explained: "I contacted several travel companies before and wanted to ask them if they needed horses for tourism, but they didn't need them, and now many cities have abolished the sightseeing carriage project." ”

"Why?" Qin Shiou asked suspiciously.

Polly said helplessly: "Because animal protection organizations and animal cruelty prevention associations in various places believe that forcing horse-drawn tourists is inhumane and this behavior should be abolished!" ”

Mao Weilong was dumbfounded: "Xuete, is there such a thing? So why not abolish horse racing? No less than 100 thoroughbred horses die every year because of horse racing, right? ”

Polly stretched out his hands and said, "Who can control this?" Anyway, horse-drawn carriage sightseeing projects are now being abolished everywhere.

Qin Shiou searched on the Internet, there is really such a thing, there have been protests from relevant associations since last year, the matter originated from two incidents last summer, Montreal and Vancouver each had a horse in the process of soliciting customers suddenly fell to the ground and went into shock, and the veterinarian thought that it was the cause of exhaustion and exhaustion.

Then a survey by the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found that horses in the program often pulled tourists seven days a week, working nine hours a day, braving the heat in the summer and the freezing cold in the winter. There is also the need to deal with car exhaust fumes and noise.

This is where animal protection organizations and animal cruelty prevention societies come into play, arguing that the horses are forced to work in stressful conditions. In the midst of noise, they walk on asphalt all year round. As a result, the hooves were injured, and after a day of exertion, they were tied there again, barely able to move, which was inhumane.

In North America, there are two very powerful non-governmental organizations, one is the Association for the Protection of Minors and Women, and the other is the Association for the Protection of Animals.

The protest over the horse-drawn carriage project caught the attention of Montreal's mayor, Dennis Codell, who promised that the city would make regulations for the horse-drawn carriage industry and would ask a nonprofit in the industry to make suggestions on how to improve the condition of horses. At that time, the city government will add regulations.

Tourism is one of Montreal's pillar industries, and their selling point is to feel the taste of the old city, horse-drawn carriage tourism has always been a key project, the government can not easily abolish it, so targeted rectification has been carried out.

For other cities, carriage sightseeing didn't matter, so the project was simply abolished, and a large number of ordinary horses were eliminated into the trading market.

Farewell to the town government when it made this decision without consulting the relevant regulations, they decided on this point. Think that this project is profitable.

Now admonished by Polly, Winnie hurriedly called the tourist office in St. John's to ask about the rules.

From this point of view, Polly is a real person. He didn't need to say these things, but said that it might lead to his business not being successful. But he still said it, and his conduct and ethics made Qin Shiou admire.

Winnie hung up the phone and said, "No problem. The tourism industry in the city of St. John's does not carry out horse-drawn carriage projects, and there are no regulations in this regard. Farewell to the town can be carried out. ”

Polly was overjoyed and said, "That means you can buy my horse." Is it? ”

Winnie smiled and said, "Yes, and we still have a lot of demand, if you are going to sell eight horses, then we can eat them in the town." ”

Because of tourism, the town's financial income has increased greatly, and there is no pressure to buy a few horses.

Polly directly took Winnie back to see the horse, this matter had nothing to do with Qin Shiou, so he didn't need to intervene, just waited here for Mao Weilong and drank and chatted with him.

When Winnie came back, she brought a two-sided denim scarf, and Mao Weilong smiled: "The business is done?" ”

Qin Shiou asked, "Why are you judging like that?" ”

Mao Weilong pointed to the denim scarf in Winnie's hand and said: "Look at that, this is given to her by Polly, in the country horse farm transaction, if the two sides reach a cooperation, the seller will give the denim scarf as a gift." ”

Don't look at the denim scarf as not famous, this thing is actually one of the iconic garments of denim, which has many functions and represents many meanings.

For example, a denim scarf can be used to wipe sweat, a filter for drinking water, a mouth and nose to protect against dust, and a bandage for first aid.

In the past, cowboys often had to drive their animals to graze in other places, cowboy scarves can provide a lot of help in life, are the cowboy's assistants in life, many cowboys will be covered with a piece of their favorite scarf on their faces after death, so that he still has a loyal companion in the lonely journey of another world.

Winnie gave Qin Shiou one, saying that it was a small gift from Polly to them, and Qin Shiou asked, "Is the deal really done?" Don't you need to go back and talk to Hani about it? ”

Winnie said, "I'm the mayor of the town, and I still have that power. Of course, in fact, we are only the beginning of the transaction, now we just have to choose the horses, negotiate the price, and go back to the veterinarian to do an appraisal to prove that the horses have no health problems before the transaction is completed. ”

Qin Shiou asked curiously, "How much does it cost to buy a horse?" ”

Winnie smiled: "The group purchase price, the eight horses shared about 25,000 yuan. ”

Mao Weilong nodded and said: "This price is more appropriate, I inquired a few years ago, the price of a fine quart horse is between 3,400 and 4,000 Canadian dollars, and it has dropped so much in more than half a year." ”

In the evening, Polly invited Qin Shiou, Mao Weilong and others to his ranch as guests, saying that he had specially slaughtered a calf to entertain them, and invited Qin Shiou and Winnie to taste the most authentic Hamilton veal.

Indeed, the veal that Polly cultivated himself is good, tender and juicy, Qin Shiou usually eats steak at most half a catty and is greasy, this time even steak with stew, eat two large plates, it is estimated that more than one and a half catties.

The little melons began to eat meat, and Mrs. Polly stewed her with honey, which was thick and sweet.

Qin Shiou felt that her daughter was still a little young, she ate meat too early, and it was okay to eat some vegetables and fruits, Mrs. Polly said that it was no problem, their meat soup was easy to digest, and the four-month-old child could eat it.

Sure enough, Winnie fed the little melon a little to try, and the little girl was eating strangely happily, obviously at the stage where she could eat meat.

After two days at Mao Weilong's farm, they flew back on Monday morning. Mao Weilong was still unsatisfied, saying that he had a good time this time, and he would have fun next time he had a holiday.

This time it was Qin Shiou's impromptu decision, Winnie has to go to work, and he also has something to do - Butler's ship has entered Canadian waters, and it will soon be able to send the more than 40 disabled dolphins. (To be continued......)
