718.Island of Fire and Ice (8/10)

Qin Shiou didn't buy much, only 100,000, and the sea trout caught in half an hour was only 1 million, and last time he took 2 million without doing anything.

But the significance of this impact is different from last time, because last time Andrew and others bought him and lost, this time they bought him to win, and he also made money with him!

The fishermen didn't buy much, Andrew bought 20,000, Donald bought 25,000, and the most one was the man with Luffy on the T-shirt, he bought 40,000 yuan, and finally got 400,000.

"Why are you so confident in me?" Qin Shiou looked at the man with emotion and said.

The man said: "When the storm in the Bay of St. Lawrence, my sister's family was on the boat, you saved them, of course I want to buy you to win!" ”

Qin Shiou was stunned and said, "Then why didn't you buy me to win last time?" ”

He remembered clearly that Hubble and Matthew had bought him last time and won.

"Last time you were looking for abuse, who would have thought that those two unlucky guys wouldn't be able to touch sea bass along the way?! I support you, but I can't follow you to death! ”

This is the Canadian way of thinking, friendship is friendship, business is business, friendship can interfere with business, but to a limited extent.

For example, the last time he gambled, Luffy Nan felt that Qin Shiou would undoubtedly lose, and although he had a good impression of Qin Shiou, he still bet on him to lose. This time Qin Shiou has the possibility of winning, although the winning rate is low, but under the influence of emotional factors, he is willing to support Qin Shiou.

Sergi called the secretary with a blushing face to transfer money, and the fishermen who got the money cheered and excited.

Nicholas came up to congratulate Qin Shiou on his victory, and then wondered how he had caught the sea trout so quickly.

It's not scientific. Sea trout hide on the bottom of the sea during the day, and when they are hungry, they go to the sand layer of the sea floor to look for hairy back fish to eat. It doesn't come to the surface until late in search of food, so the right time to fish for sea trout is at night.

Qin Shiou was naturally full of nonsense. started talking about it from his ancestors, and took out the theory that the bald boss taught him to find toads and crabs yesterday, anyway, from the perspective of idealism.

Nicholas was stunned for a moment, Qin Shiou finally patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'll give you a secret book called "Tao Te Ching", as long as you study it thoroughly, it's no problem to keep you fishing for king squid in the deep sea!" ”

"Thank you, Qin. Why are you so good to me? Nicholas said.

Qin Shiou sighed and said, "Fate, I also have a friend named Nicholas in my fishing ground, but he dances. You have the same name, which makes me feel good. ”

Nicholas is more arrogant, but like most athletes, he is relatively easy to socialize, and if you are awesome, I will respect you and be willing to be friends with you.

So. He quickly changed his door and ran to the side of the traditional fisherman, who was not familiar with Chalcor and his party anyway.

Qin Shiou was embarrassed like this, he just made fun of the fourth master of Nicholas Turtle and ridiculed others. Not quite right?

Hubble also switched to their camp and came over to congratulate Qin Shiou, who asked him how much money he had earned. Hubble sneered and said, "This time I lost my eyes and lost 50,000 yuan......

"You buy me and I lose?!" Qin Shiou thought this guy was really interesting. It's a strange idea.

"No, it's an hour before you catch a fish."

"Understandable. You don't trust me enough. Sympathize with you, fortunately, fifty thousand is not much. ”

"No, the value of the 50,000 yuan should be paid for tuition, I know more about you, and I am more confident in many things." Hubble smiled, as if he had made money.

The aim was to head north from St. Lawrence and turn northeast along the Kabila Strait, crossing a long river to reach the port city.

Newfoundland is a large island, and with the exception of St. John's, almost all other big cities are harbors.

At the northern end of Cape St. Charles, about 40 kilometers away from the land, there is a small island, similar to the status of Farewell Island, called 'Island of Fire and Ice'.

When he heard this name, Qin Shiou couldn't be happy, isn't this the famous island written by the old man Jin Yong? Canadian names are really interesting and poetic.

What's more interesting is that the reason why this island is called Ice and Fire Island is the same as the reason why Jin Yong named it, this island is located in the Arctic zone, and there are ice blocks floating over the sea all year round, and there is an extinct volcano on the island, from which the name of Ice and Fire comes from.

The island of ice and fire is smaller than the island of farewell, just over ten kilometers long and a little more than five kilometers wide, and is a miniature island in the North Atlantic Ocean that is almost impossible to find on the map.

This small island is similar to many parts of Farewell Island, and there is also a small town on it called Kabila Town, which is obviously influenced by the Kabila Strait not far away.

The group was greeted by the town's mayor, Parry Lac, a Caucasian Aryan man in his forties.

Canada does not have the habit of letting the local government entertain lunches, Qin Shiou and others solve it themselves, there are chefs on board, what dishes they want to eat and he said, as long as they can do it, they will meet the needs of the fishermen.

Parry Lac was with them, eating the chef's grilled rosemary lamb chops and Brazilian-style chicken salad, and Mr. Mayor was dancing with his eyebrows dancing and looking very happy.

From this detail, Qin Shiou knew that the mayor of the town would not have a good life, and he was also drunk when he did it.

During the meal, Parry introduced them to the town of Kabila, which is now the smallest town in the whole province of Newfoundland and Labrador, with a permanent population of only about 200 people.

Kabila Town is the smallest, not only in terms of population, but also in terms of age.

The town was founded less than 50 years ago, during the 60s and 70s when the fishing industry boomed, because of the abundant fishing resources around the island, many Canadian, American and Greenland fishing boats arrived, which gave rise to a series of service industries, which led to the establishment of the town.

At that time, the town was very prosperous, with a permanent population of more than 5,000 people, which was not small in the vast and sparsely populated Newfoundland, and there were only a few people in St. John's at that time? It's just over 80,000.

However, after the establishment of the town, within a few years, the fishery resources withered under the frenzied development, so that the town immediately declined.

The geographical location of the island of ice and fire is actually very advantageous, with Newfoundland fishing grounds to the south and Greenland fishing grounds to the north.

Greenland's fishery is not as well-known as Newfoundland's fishery, but it is also a large fishery, and the variety and quality of cold-water fish are among the best in the world.

Unfortunately, not a single qiē can defeat the terrible trawls and purse seine nets, and in the face of mechanized fishing and sonar fish finders, both shallow and deep-sea fish have been subjected to extinct fishing.

"At its peak, there are 2,000 fishing boats coming in and out of the port of this small island!" Parry shook his head as he said this.

Qin Shiou couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the city government and the Ministry of Fisheries give a plan at that time?" ”

Parry said helplessly: "Yes, but at that time, everyone was crazy and thought that the catch here was endless, and who would care about the fishing policy?" Big fish, small fish, and even seals, all of them refuse to let go! As a result, everyone found that they were catching fewer and fewer fish. Finally, one day, someone went out to sea and couldn't catch a fish, and then we knew that something was wrong, but it was too late. (To be continued......)
