Hearing Winnie say this, Qin Shiou couldn't help but smile bitterly. Silly girl, do you think that vegetables and fruits can survive in the fishery and grow so well, is it a problem of water and soil? Wrong, it's your man who used the energy of the sea god to offer it.

On the contrary, Kapalai's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Mayor Winnie, if the town opens a vegetable greenhouse, will it need more staff?" ”

Winnie nodded and asked curiously, "Do you still have relatives and friends working in Canada?" ”

Kapalai smiled embarrassedly: "I want to take my wife over, they have a hard time living in my country, I think it would be much better if I could come here to work." ”

Because of the economic downturn, the government has no more money to spend on social infrastructure and citizen welfare, so in the past two years, the immigration policy has been tightened, and families like Kapalai have hardly been able to immigrate in. However, Canada is a vast and sparsely populated country and requires a large number of laborers, so it has been very lenient in terms of labor imports.

Qin Shiou didn't want Winnie to engage in this kind of side hustle, it was completely nonsense, and he was the one who struggled in the end, so while gnawing on the fragrant fat bird legs, he took out his mobile phone to check the specific economic situation on the Internet to see if there was any reason to convince him.

Xiong Da stretched out his paws to support his shoulders, looked at the fat bird legs in his hands pitifully, and swallowed his saliva vigorously, but unfortunately Qin Shiou didn't notice it.

According to a bulletin issued by Statistics Canada, food prices in Canada climbed 3.2 per cent in January and February this year, up 3.4 per cent from the previous month, and supermarket food prices increased by 3.5 per cent over the same period last year.

This increase is nothing, Qin Shiou showed it to Winnie. According to the results of the Bureau of Statistics, Canada's economy is not as bad as everyone says it is - the United States has also seen a 2.2% increase in food during the same period.

When he said this, he didn't need Winnie to speak. The fishermen were already scolding angrily: "Falk Squid Statistics Bureau, to hell with these idiots!" What do they say that supermarket food prices increased by 3.5% compared to the same period last year? Shit, I think it's 35%. ”

"Really, BOSS, you go and only swipe your card and don't look at the price, and the average price of food in the supermarket has increased by 20 to 30 percent compared to the same period last year. For example, last year's parsley was about 3.5 pieces per pound. What about this year? I haven't found anything under 5 pieces! ”

"And because of the rising cost of food, many supermarkets are reluctant to throw away some spoiled fruits and vegetables in order to save costs. It was even used to sell, and they made it into a special, and there was nothing they could do if they found a problem. ”

Canadian supermarkets sell products at special prices every day because they are special products. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be defects. Choosing this all depends on personal vision and luck, and you can't go back and exchange things that you buy with a little problem.

Listening to the fishermen's complaints, Kapale also muttered: "Last weekend, Song and I went to St. John's to buy a big deal, and Song bought a pack of rape at a special price, only to find that it was rotten when he took it out of the refrigerator the next day. I bought a box of Freshco peaches, and the supermarket said it was organic peaches from Ontario, and the special price was 3.99 yuan for a box. As a result, when I bought it and opened it, I saw that the peaches were half rotten. There were fruit flies flying, which almost made me think I was back in Cuba! ”

Qin Shiou felt that they were exaggerating. He looked at the news on the Internet, according to the report of TradingEconomics, the price of food in Canada has risen by 3.2% in the past year, which is a bit high, but not exaggerated.

However, judging from the interviews, residents in all regions do feel that the increase in food prices is much higher than the statistics bureau's figures. Moreover, Canada is also experiencing a food safety crisis, and many supermarkets have not only taken measures to increase prices in order to make up for the increase in cost prices, but also significantly reduced the quality of vegetables and fruits in supermarkets in order to save costs.

More than two dozen fishermen and Capalai agreed with Winnie's new policy, arguing that the town should be officially run by a farm to grow vegetables, fruits, and cattle and sheep to regulate the town's prices.

Qin Shiou felt that this idea was unreliable, the market was the market, and it had its own laws. The town needs to be connected with the market, and it's a big deal to raise wages, what kind of farm to engage in, to play communism? There will definitely be a lot of problems when the time comes.

Winnie is full of confidence, the fishery has been engaged in vegetable and fruit planting in the past few years, and has accumulated a lot of high-quality vegetable seeds and fruit seeds, and it is a good idea to say goodbye to the many wastelands on the island and reclaim them for income generation.

Qin Shiou wanted to refute, but could not find a better explanation, the location of the farewell island is far from the land, and it is difficult to transport vegetables and fruits to the island, which leads to an increase in related costs. However, this disadvantage can also be converted into an advantage to some extent, that is, if the town really has its own internal market, it will be relatively easy to stabilize the market because there will not be many outsiders to purchase.

Otherwise, if you find a large community in St. John's and set up a low-cost and high-quality vegetable market, it is estimated that the locals will not be able to buy anything at all, and it will be bought by outsiders.

Qin Shiou shook his head, then felt a lightness in his hand, turned his head and saw Xiong Da chewing his big mouth in satisfaction, and the bird leg in his hand was already left with only a bone in the claw part in his hand.

After drinking beer and eating fried fish, grilled shellfish and Cuban roast birds, the group separated, those on duty were on duty, and those who rested went back to rest.

A few days later, at the end of March, the flock of bobtailed shearwaters rested and began their migration again, heading north to northern Canada and Greenland.

After the short-tailed shearwater flock left, Qin Shiou thought that he could sleep well, although there were three birds guarding outside, but there were still many birds chirping at night, which caused them to sleep badly, and the quality of sleep in the past two days has plummeted.

As a result, when the short-tailed shearwater left, there were still many birds left in the fishing grounds, except for some young birds and tired old birds, as usual, and many seagulls, or mainly seagulls.

Compared with the excitement of seeing seagulls when he first came to Farewell Island, Qin Shiou is now immune to this species that is the same as the last word of his name, and seagulls can be seen in the fishing grounds all year round, and he found that seagulls are not as cute as advertised at all, they are a very annoying bird.

Seagulls like to nest indiscriminately and defecate everywhere, which is far worse than the short-tailed shearwater, which only builds its nest in the woods, and excretes in the fishing grounds, and occasionally provides a meat for the fishermen to sacrifice their teeth.

What about seagulls? Only destruction.

Moreover, the seagulls eat the fish in the fishing grounds, and it doesn't matter when the number is small, but now I am afraid that tens of thousands of seagulls will appear in the fishing grounds, and the damage will be more serious.

Qin Shiou didn't care at first, thinking that these seagulls would leave with the short-tailed shearwater flock, because they flew with the short-tailed shearwaters, but a full week later, it was early April, and the seagulls were still in the fishing grounds.

Moreover, the seagulls seem to be calling for friends, and there are more and more seagulls in the fishing grounds! (To be continued......)
