1854. A Different Vegetable Day
In fact, it was Qin Shiou's idea not to sleep in the same room with melons, and his daughter-in-law finally came back, and she must sing every night to be worthy of her abstinence in the past two quarters.
How could Winnie not know what her man was thinking? That's why she became a bad mother and drove her daughter to Qin's father and Qin's mother's room.
After a few days of joyful life, the last weekend of April arrives, and the two-day vegetable festival officially kicks off.
It just so happened that Winnie was back, and as the mayor of the town, she couldn't miss this good day, which was the big festival of farewell to the island, the first festival of the town's own establishment, and of course this festival was also for the tourism industry.
Many important media in St. John's and Newfoundland have rushed to Farewell Island to report on the town's vegetable festival, and it is inevitable that St. John's is a big place, and Newfoundland's economy and population are not very good.
Qin Shiou packed up some vegetables and fruits and put them on the Ford pickup, Iverson was very active in carrying his big oven, Powell, Shirley and his party returned to the fishing ground on vacation, Shirley asked Iverson what he was doing, Iverson said: "Go sell roasted Jerusalem artichoke, Qin said I can make a lot of money." ”
"How much?" Shirley asked teasingly.
Iverson thought hard for a while, and then scratched the back of his head with his hand helplessly and said, "I don't know, but Qin said a lot, Iverson can make a lot of money." ”
Shirley thought for a moment and proposed, "Perhaps, Iverson, let's work together, I will collect the money for you roasting Jerusalem artichoke, and in the end you will give me two percent." All right? Anyway, you need someone to help you collect money and find money, right? ”
Ivoson looked at Qin Shiou hesitantly. Qin Shiou laughed at Shirley and said, "Dear girl, are you sure your knowledge of mathematics can help Iverson?" I'm worried you're going to find the wrong money. ”
Holding a rugby ball, Gordon laughed, "I bet." This can happen, Shirley's math grades are truly miserable......"
Shirley turned abruptly to pull his ear, but Gordon was prepared, he still played rugby, and he was so fast that like a leopard, he ran away and disappeared, leaving an arrogant laugh echoing in front of the villa.
A car drove into the fishing grounds, and Qin Shiou saw that it was Hani's car. And he went up. As a result, the door opened, and it was Hamre who came down, and the mayor was dressed casually, with a straw hat on his head, and a casual style of shopping.
"Hey, Qin, are you surprised?" Hamlet smiled happily when he saw him.
Qin Shiou went up and gave him a hug, and said with a smile: "It's really a surprise, although I guessed that you would come." You won't miss a great opportunity to be on camera like this, will you? ”
Hamlet shrugged, "Of course, of course, but if I were you." I won't say it, so I will look very shameless. ”
After a casual conversation after meeting, Hamlet sees a full pickup truck. He asked, "Are you going to set up a stall too?" ”
Qin Shiou patted the car full of vegetables and fruits and said, "Of course." Winnie's Vegetable Day, I have to support. ”
Hamley takes a North American red snake fruit. He wiped it with his hand and took a bite directly, and said, "Okay, man, then we'll see you later, so I'll go to the town first, I haven't been back for a long time, I'll see the changes in our town." ”
Qin Shiou waved goodbye to him, and he also had a lot of things to be busy here, such as inflating the hot air balloon.
Every time there is an event in the town, whether it is Easter, Christmas or the pumpkin boat competition, hot air balloons will be used, and it is probably at these times that hot air balloons can come in handy, and other times only when Qin Shiou wants to take Winnie to a high-altitude rafting, the hot air balloon will be activated, otherwise it will stay quietly in the warehouse.
The hot air balloon slowly rose, and Bird deliberately rushed back from New York to control the hot air balloon, and when it was lifted off, he controlled it to fly in the direction of the town, with a promotional banner customized by the town hanging underneath, which looked very formal.
The town's vegetable day is aimed at tourists and townspeople, and it was simply advertised in St. John's before, so compared to the Chinese shopping festival in St. John's during the Chinese New Year, there are not many people who come to the island, but it is just a street to do this vegetable day, so it seems that the crowd is quite dense.
Vegetable Day itself is a celebration of mutual help in the suburbs of northern cities and rural areas.
Therefore, on the day of this event, the price of vegetables sold is relatively low, whether it is a finished product like Ivoson roasted Jerusalem artichoke or a freshly picked raw material, only two Canadian dollars for one roasted Jerusalem artichoke, which is very affordable, and the average person is almost full after eating two.
Qin Shiou helped Iverson find the location of the intersection, and Iverson was worried along the way, because he saw that there were people selling roasted Jerusalem artichoke in addition to him, and there were even fried Jerusalem artichoke with changing tricks for sale.
After Poseidon Energy improved the taste of artichoke and made it very popular, steamed, fried, grilled, and eaten in all kinds of flavors.
The event itself is to promote tourism, so the festival is more about snacks, mainly in the style of Eastern Canadian snacks.
Qin Shiou brought a lot of vegetables and fruits, all of which were transformed by Poseidon energy, and the people in the town knew that the vegetables and fruits produced in the fishery tasted good, and after he put them out, a cart of vegetables was quickly bought by the townspeople, and the fruits were mainly sold to tourists who came to the town, after all, this can play a propaganda role.
Qin's father and Qin's mother made a living by growing vegetables and selling them in their hometown, and they were the best at doing this kind of work, they raised Qin Shiou with vegetables in the field, and provided him with college.
However, since Qin Shiou got the heart of the sea god, the vegetable plot at home has been contracted out, Qin's father and Qin mother have not been selling vegetables for a long time.
Qin Shiou wanted to help her parents sell vegetables and fruits together, but the melon couldn't sit still, she saw someone selling kosher bread next to her, and couldn't help it after smelling the fragrance, so she grabbed Qin Shiou's hand and pushed her little short legs to buy food.
Kosher bread is a type of dough bread that goes well with salmon and cream cheese, a relatively common food in the United States that is rare in St. John's, and Qin Shiou bought one for the melon and a few for his parents to try it.
His mouth was bulging with bread and fried bonito slices, and the melon stretched out his little finger to the side and shouted, "Dad, and more, you have to eat it!" ”
Qin Shiou scared her and said, "If you still eat it, after eating so much, you will become a big fat girl, just like Xiong Da." ”
Melon shook her little head vigorously, her crooked ponytail shook like a rattle, and she said vaguely while chewing her bread: "No, Melon wants to be like Sister Duoduo." ”
Qin Shiou said: "Then you have to eat less, you know?" ”
The melon continued to shake his head and said, "Don't, the melon is to be eaten, to be eaten!" ”
She saw that her father didn't cooperate with her, so she ran out by herself on her short legs, Qin Shiou had no choice but to follow behind to buy her something to eat. (To be continued.) )
