78. Squid fishing
Qin Shiou brought out the two queen parrotfish in the fish tank, both of which were adult fish, the big one was thirty-five and six centimeters, and the small one was twenty-five or six centimeters, the color was bright and bright, one blue and one green, one male and one female, just husband and wife fish.
The queen parrotfish is the star of the ornamental fish, seeing them, several college students around them surrounded them, and a delicate girl asked cutely: "Uncle, what kind of fish is this, it's so beautiful." ā
"Beautiful things are poisonous, be careful, don't be disfigured." A boy scares the girls.
Qin Shiou stuffed his head and threw the queen parrotfish from the dock into the sea, and the girl asked again: "Uncle, why did you throw them away, isn't it good to keep them yourself?" ā
"Uncle, why don't you talk to us?"
Qin Shiou turned his head blankly, pointed to himself and asked, "I said, the uncle in your mouth, is it me?" ā
These people are all students of the School of Foreign Chinese Languages at the University of Toronto, more or less able to speak Chinese, several girls have been calling 'uncle' in Chinese, Qin Shiou has never heard this word since he came to Canada, and he has not thought much about it, so he did not react at first.
A group of female students made a fun www.biquge.info of the pavilion, Qin Shiou was stunned for a moment, I am a child, Lao Tzu is indeed older than you, but he has only graduated from college for four years, how can he become an uncle?
He took out his mobile phone and turned on the front camera, which was obviously a young man in high spirits, but after going to sea for more than a month, his skin had tanned a lot, and he might look a little old.
"Okay, I'm an uncle." Qin Shiou sighed, "Time is really a pig-killing knife, I have become an uncle so quickly!" ā
There was nothing to see, the college students scattered, someone took out a boom and squatted on the pier to fish.
Qin Shiou looked at these people and felt that they were quite conscious, playing in their own fishing grounds and catching their own fish? Damn, these young people aren't very polite.
The main thing is that there are shallow waters around the pier, and there are only stocked fish larvae, and there are no big fish, so you can't fish here in general.
He greeted the sea monster, and the sea monster immediately pulled down his face, walked to the dock, and asked, "Hey, kids, do you have a fishing license?" If you don't have a fishing license, be careful that you are caught by the Maritime Watch! ā
Canada, like the United States, requires a fishing license for wild fishing, and of course fishing in the fishing grounds is not required, but the sea monsters scare them so much.
However, the Canadian government does have a strong level of protection for Newfoundland's fishing grounds, which is why the government directly punished two chemical plants after they were exposed to serious pollution problems.
Residents of the town have protested in the past, but the reason for this failure is that they have no direct evidence of pollution, and the sewage is discharged from the seabed by pressure pumps, and the collected sewage is very diluted.
This time it was different, the owner of Steve's chemical plant did his own thing, and the laboratory he hired obtained their initial sewage, and as soon as the test found out how polluted it was, he reported it to the government, and the government immediately asked them to close it.
This is reflected in fishing, which is strictly regulated by the government over wild fishing in Newfoundland's fishing grounds.
In 1992, the Canadian government closed Newfoundland's offshore fishing grounds, reducing most of the cod fishing quotas, and until 2003, the entire Newfoundland fishery was closed to fishing and sea fishing, except for private fisheries.
But even after an 11-year ban, Newfoundland's waters remain stagnant, and cod populations continue to decline rather than recover. Under these circumstances, Canada's Minister of Fisheries had to announce the complete closure of all coastal fisheries in Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, up to now.
The college students knew this, so as soon as Shaq shouted, they put away their fishing rods and were embarrassed to continue fishing.
Qin Shiou wanted to organize college students to shoot fish in Shenbao Lake, but thinking about this, he had to use bows and arrows and the like, what if there was an accident? So he closed his mouth and dragged a recliner to bask in the sun while watching college students play beach volleyball, beach basketball and the like.
He lay down for a while, and a tall, slender female college student came over with a smile, she was barefoot, wearing a pale yellow bra gown and a hip-length skirt, the double peaks on her chest were wrapped in a particularly straight and plump body, and the long legs exposed were white and straight, and her whole body was full of youthful temptation.
"Hi there, my name is Tia Ruslan, nice to meet you." The female college student walked up to Qin Shiou and bent down and stretched out her hand, and when she bent over, the breasted gown suddenly fell, revealing a delicate and deep career line from above.
Qin Shiou leaned over from the recliner and sat up, shook Tia's hand and let it go, and said, "I'm Qin, I'm also glad to meet you, do you want something to drink?" Tea, coffee, orange, pear, blackberry, or apple juice. ā
He raised the crystal cup in his hand, and inside was the freshly squeezed blackberry juice, sweet and sour, delicious and defeated.
"Apple juice, thank you." Tiya smiled, she thought that Qin Shiou would get up and get the juice, but the man whistled, and a puppy lying next to him got up and took the mobile phone in his mouth, and made a direct call: "Nelson, a glass of apple juice." ā
Then, a muscular young man came from the villa, holding a glass of apple juice in one hand and a chaise longue in the other.
"Boss, do you need a parasol?" Nelson asked, blinking behind Tia's back, he thought that Qin Shiou wanted to date this sexy female college student.
Qin Shiou didn't bother to explain, he was just lonely, he didn't want to pick up girls, and even if he picked up girls, he also set his goal on Winnie. So he shook his head and said, "It's good to bask in the sun." ā
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, well, it seemed to be bluer, and the environment was good after the shutdown of the two chemical plants.
Tia took a sip of apple juice and took the initiative to provoke the topic and asked, "Are you Chinese?" The surname is Qin, it should be Chinese, right? I didn't have much exposure to Oriental culture, so I couldn't figure it out. ā
"Yes, Chinese, you just came to Newfoundland, and your first and last name don't look like a native Canadian." Qin Shiou said.
Actually, it's unprofessional for him to say this, Canada is a country of immigrants, and there is no unification of the official language, English is also available, French is also fine, as for the name and ethnicity, it is even more confusing.
"Ukraine, I was born and raised in Kyiv and came to Canada the year before last to study." Tia explained.
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "No wonder you are so beautiful and have such good skin, it turns out that you are a girl from Ukraine." Kyiv is also a good place, the Kiev Army Group of the Soviet Red Army fought bravely in the Battle of the Dnieper. ā
Tia said: "That's because the previous battle of Kiev suffered too much humiliation, the four armies of the Southwestern Front were completely annihilated, plus the Bryansk Front and the Southern Front, the Red Army lost more than one million, and the proud Red Army soldiers must be ashamed, how can they not be brave?" ā
Hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little surprised, there are not many girls who can say that the Soviet Red Army units participated in the Battle of Kiev, even if Kyiv is her hometown. For example, ask the girl in Shanghai, which is the main force sent by ** in the Battle of Songhu, and how many do you know?
But Qin Shiou realized that it didn't seem good to discuss military knowledge with beautiful women in the sun, so he asked, "Why don't you go and play with your classmates, but come to chat with one of my uncles?" ā
Tia sighed and said, "I don't know how to play volleyball and basketball, and if I play cards, I don't understand their rules, I wanted to fish, but I couldn't, and it's good to find someone to chat with to pass the time." ā
Qin Shiou thought for a while and said, "You like fishing?" Have you ever fished for squid? Fishing is not allowed in the fishery because they are freshly stocked, but squid can be fished. ā
He hadn't fished either, Shaq and the sea monster had shown him that he had caught a few squid last night when he was sailing, and Don Ji had left one for him to roast and eat, and spread it with ketchup or chili sauce, which tasted good.
"Squid fishing? Oh, I've only seen squid, never fished. Tia said excitedly.
Qin Shiou got up and got the fishing line and hook, prepared the bait, and took Tiya to the dock, on the way, a student asked him what he was doing, and he introduced: "I'm going to go squid fishing, you can come together if you are interested, you can roast and eat it later." ā
The students originally wanted to come to the fishing ground to fish, but they didn't have the chance, so it was good to be able to catch squid, and they made up for their regrets, and seven or eight people threw away their basketballs and followed.
Squid fishing is not a fishing rod, but a combination of hand line, fishing line, hook, swivel, sinking hammer, and bamboo shaft.
In the fishing tackle, the squid hook is the main body, and the hook used by Qin Shiou is made by Sha Ke himself, find a long cylindrical bamboo tube to make a bamboo handle, and then insert 20 or so single hooks evenly on it, tie it tightly with a thin wire rope, and fix it into an inverted umbrella shape, so that it is roughly formed.
When fishing for squid, one end of the fishing line should be wound and fixed on the hook with a wire rope, a hammer should be placed on the cone end of the bamboo shaft, and then the other end of the fishing line should be connected to the lower ring of the swivel, and one end of the hand line should be connected to the upper ring of the swivel.
Qin Shiou is now mingling with a group of old fishermen all day long, and subtly, he has learned a lot of things, although it is the first time to fish for squid, but he is very familiar with all the skills, and the explanation is also clear.
When the students understood, they looked at each other, and it turned out that the fishing tackle in their hands was useless.
Qin Shiou took a small bucket filled with clove oil, he dipped a plastic fake bait in it, hung it on the hook and threw it into the water, and explained to Tiya: "Now this kind of fake bait is the most commonly used bait when fishing for squid, but I don't think the real bait is easy to use, so there will be a real bait later, I will build yƬ You still use real bait." ā
"Aren't you fishing for squid now? How can there be real bait later? Tia asked curiously, wide-eyed.
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "In a minute, I will tell you the answer." ā
