This meal Kapale entertained very carefully, and the Cuban people have a very good impression of the Chinese, which is due to the addition of the socialist lineup, otherwise Kapale and Song Qingshan, two strangers, would not have come together so closely.

After eating and chatting, Song Qingshan also said with a smile that when Kapale saw him at the beginning, he directly called him a revolutionary comrade-in-arms, and later changed the word 'comrade' to make him unaccustomed.

Kapale said embarrassedly: "When I was in the distillery before, our chief engineer was a Chinese comrade, and we all called him that. ”

The word 'comrade' in Kapalai is pronounced in Chinese, and Mandarin is quite standard, more standard than Qin's father and Qin's mother's pronunciation.

Qin Shiou was very satisfied with this meal, and he saw a new way of cooking.

In particular, there is a dish called 'Queen of the Caribbean', which is made with lobster, the lobster is steamed, the shrimp meat is peeled out, and the shrimp skin is pieced together into a flower shape, and then the shrimp meat is chopped up, mixed with condiments such as onion and rosemary, and put in it and eaten with a spoon.

In addition, there is a staple dish called Gonggeri, which is rice cooked with white rice and colored beans, and lemon juice is added to it, which is sweet and sour, and Qin Shiou feels very refreshing to eat, so he decided to go back and make it too.

Saying that this dish is the king of Cuban cuisine, it looks simple, but in fact it is difficult to make it well, saying: "My wife made it delicious, but unfortunately I didn't learn her craft, and I regret that I was so lazy at home and didn't learn how to cook." ”

Qin Shiou looked at the table full of dishes full of color and aroma, and then looked at Song Qingshan, who stood up very consciously and said, "You guys are chatting." I'll clean it up first. ”

After eating, Qin Shiou wanted to leave, but Kapalai asked him to wait. Take out a rectangular box and open it to see cigars inside.

"This is what I brought from my hometown," he said. Not a brand-name product, but my brother hand-rolled, his roll cigar is very famous in our Havana, foreign tourists like it the most, Mr. Qin, this is my little gift, I hope you can enjoy one after dinner. ”

Winnie helped Qin Shiou take it, then left her MSN number, and said, "Let Alyssa add me as a friend." If she has any questions, I can help. ”

One pleasant night, Qin Shiou drove the car far away, and when he looked back, he found that Kapalai and Song Qingshan were still waving at the door.

The next day, Qin Shiou took the teenagers online and began to buy props and gifts needed for Halloween.

His phone rang, and after answering, he said, "Hello Mr. Qin, we are here at the Newfoundland Composting Council, and your vegetable garden has harvested a 2,000-pound pumpkin, right?" ”

Newfoundland Composting Council? What the hell is this? Qin Shiou was puzzled in his heart, and replied in his mouth: "Less than two thousand pounds." Maybe just over 1,900 pounds, what's wrong? ”

Hearing his answer, the people over there perked up and raised their voices: "That's right. Mr. Qin, we would like to organize a Newfoundland-wide pumpkin weight contest and would like to invite you to participate. The venue is the Pachira Farmers Market in St. John's, I wonder if you would like to? ”

Qin Shiou asked them to wait. Asked, "What the hell is the Newfoundland Composting Council?" ”

Auerbach explains: "The NLCC stands for Composting-Council-of-Newfoundland & Labrador. The main purpose of the private association, which is directly under the provincial government, is to encourage the use of organic compost instead of industrial fertilizers in agriculture. ”

Qin Shiou said about their invitation, and Auerbach said: "It's no problem, such an event will be held every year, it is one of the Halloween events, this can also be recorded and certified, and the pumpkin king will get a certificate every year." Moreover, participating in this kind of activity is based on the small town, which can promote our town. ”

After understanding, Qin Shiou replied, "Okay, sir, I think I can participate." ”

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Thank you very much for your cooperation, I want to introduce first, when you grow this pumpkin, do you use organic compost or chemical fertilizer?" Have you artificially injected nutrients through pumpkin seedlings? Is it bred outdoors? ”

Qin Shiou replied: "Well, I use organic compost, and I have not injected nutrients, as for the cultivation location, of course, it is cultivated outdoors." ”

After receiving his reply, the other side sent out an invitation to be satisfied, and then told him to bring the pumpkin to the competition on October 30th, but he needed to bring the pumpkin vine along with the roots and a piece of soil.

Halloween is at the end of October, and there is still a week to go, which is an important holiday, especially this year, October 31 falls on Saturday, it is a good day, and it is destined to be more lively than in previous years, so every household is starting to prepare now, and many organizations and officials are also organizing activities.

Qin Shiou didn't care about this festival in the past two years, his fishing ground is far away from the town, and if he doesn't deliberately contact it, he won't know this information. This year, I paid special attention to it and found that there are a lot of such activities.

Parent-child garden activities, pumpkin contests, pumpkin carving contests, and even pumpkin boat races.

A large number of pumpkins were planted in the fishing grounds, large and small, and the teenagers were excited to pick them back, and each of them had a set of utility knives these days, and they were busy carving jack-o'-lanterns and pumpkin statues.

Of course, the most important preparation is the evening make-up party, which is very lively every year, especially after the opening of the tourist market, and invites tourists to participate, after all, this is a lot of income.

Qin Shiou asked Winnie what she wanted to dress up into, Winnie looked at him with rolling eyes, and asked with a smile, "What about you, dear?" ”

Qin Daguan smiled proudly and said, "I won't tell you." ”

"Do you think I'll tell you, then?"

Qin Daguan blinked, yes, he was really stupid, it was better to tell Winnie a fake.

Winnie pinched his cheeks, lifted her toes and kissed sweetly, "I just like your stupid and cute appearance, OK, continue to be melancholy, the old lady will make you feel eye-opening when the time comes." ”

On the 30th, the Halloween atmosphere began to thicken, and Canadians took this holiday very seriously, treating it as badly as Christmas, and the store began various promotions, as if they were eager to sell everything in the warehouse that was pressed at the bottom of the box.

Qin Shiou took Winnie and the children on the way to the Pachira Farmers Market in the morning, this time he went to get the record, although there is no Guinness World Records authority, but the NLCC record is rewarded, 50,000 Canadian dollars, which is a lot.

The bull has been salivating since he found out, if he had a choice, he would rather have cultivated such a big pumpkin himself and return the record of cucumbers to Qin Shiou. (To be continued......)
