14. Boil the syrup
&&&&& At the beginning, I asked for collections, recommendations, all kinds of requests, dear drop book friends, please help the bullet shells, help us still young little fishing ground!
Hearing someone introduce the work, Shaq raised his head suddenly, his beard and teeth and claws, like a lion who woke up, Qin Shiou's little heart beat two beats less.
In my day, if you recruit this product as a fisherman in the fishing grounds, then the bodyguard money can be saved, Qin Shiou sighed in his heart.
"You?" Shaq looked at Qin Shiou suspiciously.
Qin Shiou sat down and said, "You know, I have now inherited the Great Qin Fishing Farm, and that fishing ground has been disbanded ten years ago, I want to open it, of course I need manpower." ”
Listening to his words, Shaq was not happy but worried, he sighed and said: "Qin, you don't know, it is not so simple to establish a fishing ground, and to be honest, I have received the favor of Lao Qin, I must tell the truth, now your fishing ground, I'm afraid there are no more fish." ”
From these words, Qin Shiou can judge that this Sha Ke is a good guy, he did not fool Qin Shiou for his own work, in addition, he also has some ability, Qin Shiou only knew about the depletion of fishing resources by relying on the heart of the sea god, and Sha Ke obviously did not have the heart of the sea god.
Qin Shiou said: "It's okay, man, I must restore the glory of my grandfather's fishing ground, if there is no boat, then buy a boat, if there is no one, then recruit people, if there is no fish, I will buy fish fry to breed!" ”
He has the big cheat of the heart of the sea god, if he can't even build a fishing ground, he might as well jump into the sea and commit suicide.
"But it takes a lot of money." Shaq said honestly.
Qin Shiou slapped the table and said heroically: "I'm not bad for money!" He snapped his fingers, "Dude, I'll be responsible for your drinks tonight, and you can come whatever you want!" ”
Seeing that Qin Shiou was so confident, Sha Ke's eyes lit up, and the bartender brought a barrel of dark beer over, and said, "Sha Ke, you're lucky." ”
Qin Shiou asked the strong man Shake, "Is this your favorite beer?" ”
Shaq grinned, "It's the most appropriate. ”
Qin Shiou slapped the table again and said to the bartender: "Come to the best beer!" ”
It's not that he has money to burn, and he doesn't want to be a big boss, but now that he is in the early stage of starting a business, Shaq is the first general he recruited, and he must stabilize the mind of this strong general, so he must show his financial resources.
The domestic business rule is not to talk about money at the wine table, but Qin Shiou and Sha Ke are the opposite, and the two of them finalized Sha Ke's salary after drinking: a weekly salary of 2,000 Canadian dollars, and a bonus at the end of the year according to the development of the fishery.
Qin Shiou's salary for Shaq is not low, the monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, which is about the same as the salary of a cleaner - Canada is very strange, the salary of cleaners is relatively high, because they belong to the same "municipal workers' association" as the librarian and the city government service staff, and the salary is rich, and the hourly salary of a senior cleaner is around 30 Canadian dollars, and the annual salary is about 120,000 Canadian dollars.
The average white-collar worker in Canada's first-tier cities has a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan, and the blue-collar salary is almost the same, but fishermen, miners and other types of work can be paid more because of the danger of work.
Farewell to the town's current economic downturn, the general fishery hires fishermen to give a maximum monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, Qin Shiou gave such a high, playing with a thousand gold to buy horse bones.
Talking about the salary, Qin Shiou listened to Sha Ke tell him some tips for managing the fishing ground, the latter explained while drinking beer with flying eyebrows, but the former didn't listen much, Qin Shiou was too strong to drink, and collapsed directly on the table.
When he woke up again, Qin Shiou found himself sleeping in his own bed, hangover all night, but he was refreshed, maybe this was related to the heart of the sea god, this thing has been improving his physique.
Changing out of his old clothes full of alcohol, Qin Shiou opened the window, only to see an excessively strong figure sitting under the maple tree next to the villa, with a big pipe in his mouth and spitting out the clouds, it was the general Shaq Sardinson he had just recruited.
"Man, it's early enough." Qin Shiou smiled, "You must have sent me back last night." ”
Shaq laughed too, and said, "It was Mr. Auerbach who told me about your lodging, otherwise you would have to sleep in my fish cabin." ”
Qin Shiou called Auerbach, who came with the contract, so that Shaq saw that it was no problem, and after signing, he went directly to work in the fishing farm.
"Eight thousand dollars, that's fantastic, I think it's going to surprise the townspeople." Shaq had been muttering excitedly when he signed the contract, and in Newfoundland, where the economy was generally sluggish, his treatment was definitely a high salary.
What really makes Shaq happy is that his salary is a relief for his urgent needs, before he was completely desperate, and his daughter's tuition, medical expenses and family living expenses, these expenses are too much for him to breathe.
After signing the contract, Shaq rubbed his big hands and asked, "Boss, what are we going to do now?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled: "Don't worry, man, you know, our fishing ground is equivalent to building from scratch, and now we can say nothing." ”
There is really nothing, and the fishing grounds that have a little value and can be used, such as fishing boats, fishing nets, storage oil, etc., have been pulled away by the tax bureau and the bank.
"I have a sum of money that has not yet arrived, and when the money arrives, we will start work again, and what we need to do now is to make preliminary preparations, buy some necessary items, and clean up the fishing grounds." Qin Shiou said.
Shaq said: "No problem, I'll go and count the necessities, as for cleaning the fishing grounds, boss, you don't have to do it, look at me!" ”
Qin Shiou really didn't want to do it, the fishing ground was too big, and there were too many houses - houses, warehouses, docks, grain storage silos, oil depots, ice storage, etc., there were always twenty or thirty houses, some of which he didn't know what they were for.
However, Shaq didn't let Qin Shiou be bored and idle, he said: "Boss, if you're fine, you can boil some maple sugar, I saw it just now, these two maple trees are deeply rooted, and they must have stored a lot of maple sugar." ”
"Boiling maple syrup?" Qin Shiou was a little interested.
As we all know, Canada is rich in maple leaves, people have a deeper affection for maple leaves, and take it as a national symbol, from the national flag, national emblem, national flower, to the people's daily necessities, maple leaf patterns abound, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Canadians are particularly fond of maple trees, not only for their ornamental value, but also because they can be used to make zuò syrup for people to enjoy.
Qin Shiou knew this, and he also knew that there was a maple sugar festival in Canada, but he didn't know how this thing was made.
Sha Ke told him that the preparation of maple syrup is actually quite troublesome, but collecting syrup is very simple, the two big trees on both sides of the villa are Tang maple trees, and the sugar content of the sap can reach 7% to 10%, as long as the sap is collected and then simply boiled, the syrup can be produced.
"Maple syrup is lower in calories than sucrose, fructose, corn sugar, etc., but it contains much higher calcium, magnesium and organic acids than other sugars, and the calcium content in maple syrup is as high as 10%, which is comparable to milk, so boss, it is good to drink more maple syrup." Shaq explained.
"Teach me then, man, seriously, I can't wait." Qin Shiou said with a smile.
It was not difficult to collect maple sap, but Shaq instructed Qin Shiou to make a hole in the trunk of the maple tree, plug in a metal plug, connect it to a plastic conduit, and the conduit was connected to the storage tank, and the sap flowed in.
While punching holes, Shaq said, "Only maple trees that are over 50 years old can collect maple sap, otherwise it is not good for the growth of the tree." Also, boss, you have to note that the depth of the hole should not exceed your index finger, the diameter should be less than the width of your index finger, and it should be slightly tilted upwards, and the sap collection of each hole should stop after ten minutes. ”
Although Qin Shiou began to be interested in this activity, he felt a little cruel when he saw the maple trees being plugged one by one, and couldn't help but think of the process of taking bear bile alive on the news.
