1388. Pachira Farmers Market
The steamer pulled out of the dock and broke through the waves in the direction of St. John's.
On the deck, several female tourists were either openly or sneakily watching the bow of the boat.
Qin Shiou stood there leaning against the guardrail and meditated silently, his windbreaker was swaying in the wind, his face was handsome, his figure was tall and slender, and he had a temperament cultivated by fighting with the waves, no matter how he looked at it, he was a beautiful man.
Qin Daguan also felt the same way, and then after pondering for a while, he took out his mobile phone and posed as scissorhands, took a few selfies, and then changed his posture, looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, showed a worried expression, and continued to take selfies.
Looking at the photos on his mobile phone, he thought it was good, and Qin Daguan left the deck with a satisfied smile and walked into the cabin, leaving a few female tourists messy in the wind.
Winnie was holding the little girl and teaching her to speak: "...... A ship, not a lunlun, a ship, not a string, it's a ship......"
Qin Shiou affectionately pinched his daughter's little fat face, the little girl glared at him angrily, and began to spit bubbles with her small mouth.
"It's so cute, like a crab that has been caught?" Qin Shiou laughed stupidly, and then pinched his daughter's fat cheeks and took another selfie.
Winnie shook her head, she felt that the relationship between her daughter and her father would not be very harmonious in the future, so that she would have to work hard as a mother.
The little girl screamed, Winnie took her in her arms to avoid Qin Shiou's claws, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't tease her, the loan materials are all ready, right?" Check it again, so that you don't have nothing to do and always toss your daughter. ”
This time, Qin Shiou went to St. John's, not only to participate in the pumpkin competition held by the NLCC. I also had to approach Brandon and borrow 500 million from the Bank of Montreal.
Qin Shiou patted his backpack with confidence. Then he continued to say with a hippie smile, "Come, dear. Let's take two photos together, I haven't taken the ferry for a long time, it's strangely fresh. ”
This time they took a ferry to St. John's, because they had to go to several places, do more, and have to drive a large one-ton pumpkin, and the yacht of the fishing ground could not accommodate the domineering figure of the Ford F650.
Wincole is no new and the ferry is now an important means of transport for the town, connecting the island to St. John's. It's all up to it, so after Winnie came on stage, she took the ferry several times to get a feel and see if there was anything to improve.
In fact, there are things to improve, but the biggest problem is that the little steamer is too old, and she sighed: "I really hope that this year will end soon, and after you pay the annual tax, I will have to buy a new one." ”
Qin Shiou asked, "What kind of ship to buy?" Aren't there several in the fishing grounds? ”
Winnie said, "I'm talking about the ferry boat, don't you think it's old?" The ferry is the threshold into our town. It was the first to represent our farewell to the town, and this ship was a bit too inferior. ”
Qin Shiou looked left and right, and nodded approvingly, this ship has to work for forty or fifty years. The hull is rusty, the seats are uneven, and the power is very poor, I don't know how many times it has been overhauled, and it should have been replaced a long time ago.
But he remembered Winnie's words. I always feel that something is wrong, what does it mean to wait for him to pay the annual tax?
Touched on the topic. Winnie was really interested: "Honey, you are an expert in this area. How much do you think it will cost to get a new ship? What grade to change? Which shipyard is the best fit? ”
Qin Shiou couldn't bear to hit her, but he had to tell the truth: "If you expect our fishery to pay taxes to buy this thing, then it is estimated that we will have to wait for another two years, I think we don't need to pay a lot of taxes this year, I have participated in so many charity activities, donated so much money, and have to invest in Bombardier, just the tax rebate and tax avoidance money is enough to offset the fishery tax." ”
Hearing the news, Winnie was disappointed, and Qin Shiou said angrily: "What kind of expression do you have?" The fishery is the public property of our husband and wife, how can you harm our interests for the development of the town? ”
Winnie shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I swore to the Bible and the Constitution when I took office, and I would give up my small family to improve everyone." So then again, who let you marry a female mayor? ”
The two gaged all the way, the ship docked at the pier in St. John's, Qin Shiou drove on the road with his wife, daughter and teenagers, they drove the President No. 1, and the F650 followed behind with a huge pumpkin.
The Pachira Farmers Market is located northwest of the city of St. John's, a long way from the pier, which is located southeast of the city, and the two sides are located exactly at the two ends of the city.
The farmer's market is the largest in St. John's, covering an area of more than 14,000 square meters, with 2,000 square meters of fresh cold storage, 5,000 square meters of trading greenhouses, and more than 600 merchants operating here.
Halloween is just around the corner, and the farmer's market is in the festive mood – full of grimaces, inflatable sea monsters and ghost boats floating around seafood outlets, and laser lights emitting red light on the ground at meat by-product outlets, making it look like blood is flowing.
"I'm a shet!" Qin Shiou saw this scene and immediately exclaimed, "Is this a horror hall or a vegetable market?" Who's to blame if someone is here scared of a heart attack? ”
Gordon glanced at him and said, "Are you afraid?" ”
Qin Shiou sneered: "How could I be afraid of this thing? I'm just asking, don't you know my guts? ”
Shirley, who was playing with her mobile phone, raised her head, smiled sweetly and then opened Twitter, letting Qin Shiou see the photo of him being scared into the kitchen by the Haier brothers.
At this time, someone walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and said, "You're here to participate in the pumpkin contest, aren't you?" What's your name, please? Talk to me and I'll take a look. ”
Qin Shiou shook hands with him, and was just about to introduce himself, when the man said again: "Oh, you are Mr. Qin, the owner of the big fishing farm on Farewell Island?" I've admired the daimyo for a long time, I've heard a long time ago that you planted a big pumpkin, is it the latter one? God, it's huge! ”
Qin Shiou shrugged at Winnie, meaning to see, buddy is a celebrity now.
The man instructed the staff to unload the big pumpkin, and he told Qin Shiou that the pumpkin vines were going to be cut down, leaving only twenty-five centimeters, and asked him if he had any questions.
Qin Shiou had no problem, but he was puzzled: "In that case, why do you want me to bring vines over?" ”
The man smiled and explained: "Because we have to check the vines to see if there are needle holes, marks or anything like artificial infusion, and the soil is to check whether you have used industrial fertilizers in the planting process, so that you can compete in groups." (To be continued......)
