Now farewell to the island's fishing grounds, the resources are exhausted, and only the Daqin fishing grounds have some vitality because of continuous investment. ^_^ See, book, first, send, invite, to, ^_^ and leave the three private fishing grounds, and now the boss has left Farewell Island and gone to St. John's or Toronto.

Qin Shiou had to buy the Mr. Ross Fishery in the southwest of the island and the Cod Hometown Fishery in the west, one of the two fishing grounds is separated from the Daqin Fishing Ground, and now there is a kelp jungle, and the fishery resources have begun to increase.

If the two fishermen were to know about it, it would be more troublesome for him to buy two more fishermen.

As soon as he thought of it, Qin Shiou asked Hamlet to help contact Robinson Ross, the owner of Mr. Ross's fishery, to discuss the purchase of Mr. Ross's fishery.

The Ross family lived in St. John's, one of the larger families in the area, and like Hughes's ancestors, they fled to Newfoundland during the American Revolution.

They are all people in the upper class circles of St. John's, and Hamlet easily helped Qin Shiou find an opportunity.

On August 25th, there was a meeting of the Inuit in St. John's, and Robinson-Rose's wife was an Inuit, so the family would be in attendance. Hamley made a phone call and helped Qin Shiou get an invitation and asked him to take Winnie out of the party.

It just so happened that Qin Shiou's Tang dress was still brand new and could be worn to this party.

Winnie learned that she was going to attend this banquet, so she took Qin Shiou to buy 2 dresses, many of her clothes have not yet been mailed, and she is staying in the United States.

Qin Shiou said: "Didn't you bring a few beautiful dresses?" You don't have to buy it, do you? ”

Winnie sneered, "You're so cute, Qin, you can't wear those dresses to the Inuit Summer Carnival." Unless you don't want to do business with Mr. Ross anymore. ”

Seeing that Qin Shiou was a little confused, Winnie tidied up his collar. "August 25 is the second most important festival for the Inuit after the March muskrat carnival. Summer Carnival, also known as Seal Carnival. ”

Listening to Winnie's introduction, Qin Shiou understood what was going on, the Inuit lived in the bitter cold land of the Arctic, and their living environment was particularly harsh, and it was not easy to survive.

Two of these times of the year are important to them, one is March, when spring arrives and the snow melts, when they have a three-day celebration. It's called 'Muskrat Carnival'.

The other day is late August, when seals begin mating season and large numbers come ashore in search of mates. Seals are an important food for the Inuit people, and they catch them during this time, hence the carnival.

For the Inuit, these two festivals are particularly important, meaning they can hunt for stockpiled food, muskrat carnival and seal carnival. All represent their desire for life.

Everyone is dressed up, singing and dancing during the festival, and outsiders are welcome to attend, but they must be dressed to show respect for the holiday, otherwise the Inuit are not to blame for their indifference.

Winnie looked at Qin Shiou stunned. "You don't know the Inuit, do you? ”

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly: "I knew that their other name was Eskimo......

"God!" Winnie said anxiously, "This title must not be in front of Inuit!" They don't like to be called 'eskimo' because that term comes from their enemies. The language of the Algonquin people of India, which means 'one who eats raw meat'. And 'Inuit' is their self-designation, which means 'Terran'. ”

Qin Shiou was depressed. Eskimos are the name he learned from geography textbooks in junior high school, and he dares to love our socialist country, and he has never respected others.

Winnie introduced a lot of things to Qin Shiou, the Inuit are a 'minority' in Canada, and there are many taboos, the most common of which is to call them, and they can't be called 'Eskimos'.

Because they believe that "man" is the supreme representative of the kingdom of life, and the title of "eater of raw meat" is very insulting - what is the difference between this and a beast?

The issue of ethnic composition in Canada is very complicated, not to mention the current immigration problem, let's say that there are three major categories of independent indigenous peoples: First Nations Indians, Metis, and Inuit.

There are 800,000 of them, or about three percent of Canada's population, of which 69 percent are First Nations, 26 percent are Metis, and only 5 percent are Inuit. Among them, the Inuit of St. John's have less than a thousand people, and they are a pocket race.

However, the smaller the number of races, the more they value their beliefs, culture and traditions, and they will definitely resist fiercely when they are insulted.

This is normal, generally people say that a big country has a big mind, why? When the country is bigger, has more resources, and is stronger, then it is confident and free, and it doesn't matter if you encounter some insults.

It's like people, those who are very awesome, don't care about other people's evaluations, and the bigwigs occasionally laugh at people and things that don't respect them outside. On the contrary, the smaller the person, the stronger the self-esteem, which is also because these people often have poor self-confidence.

So on the way, Winnie kept emphasizing to Qin Shiou that after going there, in addition to talking about business, don't express your opinions lightly, otherwise it will be easy to make enemies.

In the largest clothing mall in St. John's, Winnie picked a handmade cheongsam as a dress in the dragon and phoenix cheongsam specialty store to match Qin Shiou's Tang costume.

The cheongsam chosen by Winnie is a long cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China, with a white base and embroidered with restrained and clear blue and white flowers.

The blue and white of this cheongsam is not a cyan flower, but a saying in Chinese ceramic art, such as Yuan blue and white, blue and white porcelain, etc., in the Canadian pottery world, blue and white is also known as the national flower of China, in fact, this flower color is blue.

With such a snow-white background and blue moire, full of an elegant and outstanding charm, Winnie, who is tall and long, wears this cheongsam, pulls up her black hair and inserts a milky white lotus hairpin, with flesh-colored crystal stockings and sky-blue fish-mouth high heels, which can only be described as shocking.

Winnie walked out and took a turn, the eyeballs of several men in the mall exploded, Qin Shiou kept shaking his head, Winnie frowned and said, "Isn't it good-looking?" Still don't like it? ”

"No, it's unbelievable!" Qin Shiou said.

Winnie reached out and picked Qin Shiou's chin, and said with a smile: "Count your sweet mouth, there will be a reward for going back." ”

The owner of the dragon and phoenix cheongsam store is a gentle young woman with exquisite makeup, when Qin Shiou paid Weini's bill, she kept asking Weini if she was interested in taking promotional photos, and she was full of praise for Weini's beauty in this cheongsam.

Winnie politely refused, and walked out of the mall with Qin Shiou's arm crooked, regardless of men and women along the way, the return rate went straight to 100%.

Qin Shiou raised his head and held his chest high, feeling proud in his heart, feeling more face-saving than driving a Porsche 918. (To be continued......)
