406. Soldier refers to lobster
Sorry for being a little late for today's update! I went to the forum to participate in the big battle just now, the Warriors won the championship, and the MVP was not given to Curry?
!
NBA, you're kidding me, aren't you?
I'm going to kill 11 people in FMVP voting, is there a group?
The next morning, when Qin Shiou was running and exercising, he went to look at the vegetable leaves on the beach by the way, and sure enough, some slugs shrank their heads and stayed under the leaves.
These slugs are not the blue dragon slugs he gave to Winnie, they are just ordinary sea slugs, like snails without shells, ranging in length from one or two centimeters to ten centimeters, looking a little disgusting, and the body surface is smooth and full of mucus, so it also has a name for 'slugs'.
Qin Shiou took out the prepared bait box, used chopsticks to send the slugs in, put wet soil on the bottom, and covered them with vegetable leaves, so that they could be preserved for a while.
When it was warm in the morning, Qin Shiou took these live baits and set off towards Shenbao Lake with great interest.
This time he made a detour to the church to take a look, the Vail construction team was working intensively, some of the protected buildings were encircled, and the rest could almost be said to be rebuilt, the entire tower was made into a formwork skeleton, and Weil and the engineer instructed the workers to re-plaster the perimeter with cement and tiles.
In winter, fishermen, like farmers, have little work, and some people come up to help when they see the church being repaired.
This is similar to the Chinese building temples, those who participate in the construction are meritorious, and Protestant Christians can also receive the blessing of Jesus by repairing churches.
Seeing Qin Shiou's car coming, more than a dozen local townspeople stopped and came up to smoke.
They all thanked Qin Shiou for his generous help to the town.
Qin Shiou and these people bumped fists and saluted - the fishermen did not shake hands when they met, but clenched their fists and slammed them, like gangsters in Hollywood blockbusters.
That's a feature.
"Qin, don't say the words of gratitude, God understands our hearts, you are the kind of good person we have never met, you are different from all rich people!"
A strong fisherman grinned with a pipe in his mouth.
Qin Shiou said: "I am a resident here, of course I want to contribute to the construction of my hometown, and I only have a little money. So we can only start from here, and we are all the same in essence. The contribution to the town is exactly the same. ”
"You're not the only rich man, haha, but they've all gone to St. John's. Even if there are people who come to our farewell island, such as the stupid owner of the Gatoroli Fishing Grounds. If they don't destroy the island, we thank God forbid. ”
"Yes, Qin, you are always so low-key and humble, setting a benchmark for us to know Orientals. In the past, we didn't know about your country at all, but now that the tourist route has been opened, we know that your country's economy has become so great, and your citizens are so high, and the world has changed so much! ”
"We still have to thank Qin for this, if he hadn't come up with ideas and found resources to develop tourism. We're not going to get anything this winter. Well, now, although there is no catch, there is more money to be made than in previous years. ”
"I couldn't agree more with what Bonnar said. I don't know where to get the money to buy gifts for my family at Christmas without tourists. ”
Chatting about the day, it is inevitable to talk about fishery, and the fishermen are quite optimistic when it comes to income, because the economic center of gravity of the town has been inclined to tourism.
But when it comes to their own work in the fishery, they are sad one by one.
"Look. We don't have many fish in our fishing grounds, so we can only make some money by catching lobsters and crabs. Not sure what we did wrong. God has to punish us, and since this year, the lobsters have also disappeared. ”
The sturdy fisherman with a pipe in his mouth said helplessly.
Qin Shiou comforted the group and said, "God will not abandon his believers, unless you don't have enough heart to serve him." At the beginning of spring this year, my fishery will almost be able to produce fish, and I will need to hire a lot of people to help with the fishing, are you interested? ”
Hearing this, the fishermen suddenly slapped their bulging chests, and they were overjoyed one by one: "Of course, of course, Qin, leave a place for me, as long as you give an order, I will go to you immediately." ”
"Me too, Qin, be on call at any time, you are really a generous and good person."
Qin Shiou paid a lot of wages to Sha Ke and a few people, everyone in the town knew that the fishermen were very envious that they could work under a free and generous young boss, and now Qin Shiou revealed the news that the fishing ground might have to increase the number of manpower, so he was naturally very positive.
"But there's still four or five months to go, what are you going to do in the meantime?"
Qin Shiou saw that they were a little too excited, and hurriedly explained the situation.
The fisherman with the pipe in his mouth said: "When the weather is all right, let's go to the Bay of St. Lawrence to catch lobsters, and catch some lobsters before the lobster Gavkia bacteria completely dominates the offshore waters." ”
The emergence of Lobster Gavkia has made the economic situation worse in the major fishing farms, the offshore lobster fry have become extinct, and the remaining lobsters are caught one less before the bacteria disappear, which is the last resource, so the fishermen are very competitive.
Now the price of lobsters in the market has begun to soar, and inland cities such as Winnipeg's hometown of Winnipeg have been more affected, and at Christmas, Winnie's father bought a pair of two-pound Maine lobsters and paid a full 400 Canadian dollars, whereas in the past, a pair of such a large lobster only cost about 150 yuan.
Even catching lobsters inshore is a big job, because lobsters are caught in shrimp pots, which take up a lot of space and require a large enough fishing boat to carry them.
Therefore, if the fishermen of Farewell Island want to do this work, they either rent a boat in a joint venture, or go to work for others.
Listening to the discussion of the fishermen, Qin Shiou said: "Hey, I have a fishing boat, the Harvest, what do you think of its size?" ”
The fisherman with the pipe laughed, "It's a good boat, but it's brand new like a newborn lamb, and it's a pity to use it to catch lobsters." ”
Catching lobsters requires constantly putting down the shrimp cage and lifting the shrimp cage, which is inevitably bumpy in the process, and the general shrimp fishing boats are in tatters, which is the reason.
Qin Shiou didn't care about this, what kind of good ship was it?
In his eyes, fishing boats are for work, and it is the same for light and heavy work.
After thinking about it, when it was sold on the wharf, the price of a pound of lobster was about 40 yuan, basically about the same luck, and that catch could harvest about 200 kilograms of lobster, that is, 16,000 yuan.
Although it is a small amount of money, it is not bad to make it as a bonanza.
In this way, Qin Shiou made up his mind and said: "Now I want to go fishing, but if the weather is good in the next ten days, then I will go to St. Lawrence Bay to catch lobsters and drive my fishing boat." If you are interested, come together, and the reward will definitely be good. ”
He counted that there were only ten people here who volunteered to repair the church, and according to the staffing of the Harvest number, he only needed to bring two more people from home, and that would be just right.
Hearing Qin Shiou's words, these people were stunned, and then they agreed with a smile on their faces, and the man with the pipe clapped his friends to celebrate, and laughed: "Look, I said that we would have good luck when we come to repair the church, and God's blessing came too quickly." ”
This matter was decided for the time being, and Qin Shiou went fishing.
