Auerbach brought a camera, and he filmed "Woman with the Golden Drum" from different angles, and he also shot "Morning Breeze Blowing in the Woods" from Pinajan's painting.

"I'll send it to my old friend and ask him to judge it with a professional eye." Auerbach explained, "That guy is the art director of Ritchie Auctions in Ottawa, and he doesn't have an eye for it. ”

Qin Shiou put away these paintings, and when Auerbach was leaving, he saw the pickup truck in the yard, so he nodded and said: "It's really inconvenient to go to the town from the fishing ground, I neglected this matter, so you drive my old Ford, and I'll send the pickup back to Anderson." ”

Anderson was the name of the owner of the little inn.

Hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little moved and said, "You give me the Ford, what are you driving?" ”

Auerbach said: "I still have a BMW 750, so I'll drive a BMW." ”

Qin Shiou: "......"

Auerbach left, and Qin Shiou stayed alone in the small building and had nothing to do, so he took a vacuum cleaner and a chicken feather blanket and prepared to clean up.

The small building is divided into two floors, the first floor has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a hall, a storage room and a kitchen, the overall area is more than 300 square meters, and the hall alone has nearly 100 square meters.

The area of the second floor is slightly smaller, there are two hundred and fifty sixty square meters, symmetrically distributed with six bedrooms, in addition to a cloakroom of about twenty square meters, it is very spacious, the decoration style is simple, the whole small building is paved with a layer of excellent red maple board regardless of the floor or the wall, which is both moisture-proof and beautiful.

During lunch, Qin Shiou was ready to change his taste, Newfoundland cod is very famous, he transferred his consciousness to the nearby ocean, ready to fulfill his wish when he came, burn a cod to taste.

The beautiful Shenbao Lake gave Qin Shiou great thoughts, originally he thought that the landscape of a lake was so brilliant and gorgeous, and the vast underwater world should be more brilliant.

However, he was disappointed by what he saw, and most of the bottom of the sea was snow-white and fine sand within two meters of the water, and in addition, he could touch the reef every once in a while.

His consciousness descended further, and when he reached a depth of about four or five meters, corals appeared on the bottom of the sea.

Unlike the colorful Australian tropical corals on TV, the corals in the waters around the fishing grounds are mostly grayish-white and lifeless.

Qin Shiou thought that this was what the cold corals looked like, and then by chance, he also saw a small patch of pink and pale yellow corals.

From this piece of coral, Qin Shiou can feel the vitality, and the small polyps are condensed together to form this small coral.

In this way, Qin Shiou understood that those gray-white were not live corals, but coral reefs composed of coral polyp corpses.

Qin Shiou's consciousness continued to move in the sea, but he couldn't move far, and the limit range was about two nautical miles away from the fishing ground. In this way, the sea area he experienced was also considerable, but his consciousness searched the sea for a long time, and he did not see a single fish!

The coastal waters of the fishing grounds are lifeless, and the seabed environment is so damaged that the fish have left the area. In addition, the pollution of this sea area is also very bad, the water quality is quite bad, and the water temperature is relatively low, which is the reason for the fish to escape.

When his consciousness was retracted, Qin Shiou saw a transparent jellyfish long arm floating towards him.

This jellyfish has a length of more than 40 centimeters, the diameter is five centimeters, its shape is like a spiral arm, the whole is symmetrical, but the ends are slightly slender, the body is composed of the outer wall and the inner wall, the middle is hollow, and the whole body is translucent pale white.

Qin Shiou recognized that it was a cup sponge, although it looked large, it was actually similar to the structure of coral, which was composed of countless tiny polyps, and it was composed of countless tiny jellyfish.

The cup jellyfish is a very common creature in the Atlantic Ocean, this cup sponge is composed of a square deep cup jellyfish, a small jellyfish is only two millimeters long, they usually live in groups, thousands of small jellyfish are combined to have such a structure.

Seeing this cup of sponge, Qin Shiou was a little happy, because this thing can attract fish, and it is known as a 'small fish bunker', which can protect small fish.

As we all know, the ocean predation pyramid is that the big fish eat the small fish, but the cup sponge can be derived into several meters long or even more than ten meters long, and it is like a monster for the big fish, and it does not dare to attack it lightly.

In this way, the small fish can hide inside, and they can get a higher chance of survival. The secretions and excretions of small fish are the food of these cups of jellyfish, and the symbiotic relationship between the two is one of the wonders of the ocean.

After Qin Shiou's consciousness approached the cup sponge, he found that the small cup of jellyfish that composed it had a weak breath of life at this time, and the outer wall of the side was even broken with a hole.

However, when the cup of jellyfish approached Qin Shiou's consciousness, his vitality slowly began to recover, and Qin Shiou felt a little tired. It dawned on him that his consciousness could be used to heal and even save marine creatures.

Qin Shiou's consciousness retracted, and the sponge kept following him, and finally floated to the pink and pale yellow coral, and it stopped.

At this time, the cups of jellyfish had already regained their vigorous vitality, and Qin Shiou could feel the attachment and gratitude of these little things to him.

Retracting his consciousness, Qin Shiou felt tired for a while, and he was very hungry.

The cod was not found, and Qin Shiou was too lazy to cook the carp again, so he simply drove to the town and found a restaurant called 'Hickson Daddy' to eat ready-made.

The restaurant looked a little dilapidated from the outside, but it was very clean inside, an old white man with a beard and pigtails on his chin was busy cleaning, and the oak tables were polished shiny, obviously for many years, and they were all pulped.

"Hey man, what's up?" Seeing Qin Shiou, the old man asked with a smile.

Qin Shiou was just about to speak, but the old man looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly walked over quickly and gave him a soft punch in the chest: "You drove old Auerbach's car, I heard that the old guy brought Qin's grandson to town, is it you?" ”

It seems that his grandfather is indeed very popular, Qin Shiou smiled: "Yes, I am Xiao Qin, and the Qin in your mouth is my grandfather." ”

He hoped that the old man would give him a discount, as the innkeeper did, and that it would be better if he had invited him to dinner.

As a result, the chubby old man laughed and said, "Great, child, your grandfather still owes me more than 1,000 yuan for food, remember to help him pay it off in the future." ”

Qin Shiou couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but then the old man patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "But I will invite the first meal, I promised Qin that when his descendants come to take over the fishing grounds, I will invite them to eat." ”

The old man with pigtails did things vigorously, and after letting him sit down, he rushed into the kitchen, Qin Shiou was stunned to see his figure disappear, and he was speechless for a long time: "Uncle, I haven't said what to eat." ”

Four or five minutes later, a fragrant fried rice was served, and the snow-white rice was topped with whiter salmon meat, dotted with golden oil, and slices of golden egg cakes. In addition, the fried rice is topped with a layer of red meat sauce, which makes you look appetizing.

Qin Shiou scooped up the meat sauce rice with a spoon and took a bite, the tender gravy accompanied by the warm rice exploded in the taste buds, he gave a thumbs up to the pigtailed old man, and said vaguely: "Great, this is the best fried rice I have ever tasted." ”

Hearing his praise, the little old man's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, he took out a pipe and put it in his mouth, spit out the cigarette and said, "This is my Hickson daddy's best spicy fried salmon meat sauce rice, your grandfather used to like this very much, I guess you will like it too." ”

"Delicious on earth." Qin Shiou praised.

As soon as he said this word, Father Hickson quieted down suddenly, he looked at Qin Shiou carefully, and there was a faint mist floating in his eyes.

Qin Shiou didn't know what was going on, Father Hickson looked at it for a long time, and said softly: "Young man, when your grandfather first ate this fried rice, he also used the word, 'delicious in the world', and at that time my father was still managing this restaurant. In the blink of an eye, it's been years. ”

Father Hickson didn't say anything more, he stood in front of the window biting his pipe and looking out at the blue sky, the smoke lingering, he was probably nostalgic for the time of his youth.

The blue sky is still there, but the old man is gone.

After eating this meal, Qin Shiou wanted to pay the bill, but Father Hickson insisted on not accepting it, but apologized: "I thought about some things in the past just now, maybe the atmosphere is a little depressing, you come again tomorrow at noon, I'll make you another one, okay?" ”

Qin Shiou thanked him and returned to the fishing ground, he had nothing to do in the afternoon, and his spirit was a little tired, so he lay on the bed and watched TV.

Canada and the United States are closely intertwined, as the latter's little brother, it can be shared with almost all American TV shows, Qin Shiou watched a TV series that was not imported in China, called 'X Killer'.

X-Killer is a bit of an imitation of the X-Men, and the protagonist is also a mutant with special abilities. His ability is that after coming into contact with a person's DNA, he can become the appearance of that person, and the plot tells the story of his use of superpowers to punish rape and eliminate evil.

In the evening, Auerbach called and said that his old friend from the Ritchie auction house had flown to Newfoundland and would come early tomorrow morning to help him examine the paintings.
