After eating this Scottish dinner, Qin Shiou said goodbye to the Hamlets and set out on the way back.

He still has nearly 100 million idle funds on him, Qin Shiou originally planned to buy a plane, but there were too few opportunities to use it, and it was too wasteful. Now that Hamre is in charge, his money is useful.

I really didn't expect that Canada's political government could still play like this, and Hamre, a town mayor, was going to participate in the St. John's mayoral election, which made him feel unbelievable when he was familiar with China's political promotion system.

In fact, that's how Canadian politics play, if Qin Shiou joins a certain influential political party and wins the support of the party, then he can also run. What's more, Hamlet is not only a town mayor, but also a member of the 25 people elected to the St. John's City Council.

In St. John's, the city council has both legislative and executive powers, which means that the city council is the city government, and the city councillors are the real administrators of the government.

This is also the difference between Canada and the United States, where local governments adopt a city council system, which is a heritage from the United Kingdom and is relatively rare in the world.

The advantage of this system is that it is conducive to reducing the contradiction between the legislative and administrative organs and improving the efficiency of management. However, he has a shortcoming, that is, he lacks a mayor who can unify the work of all departments of the city government and has absolute real power.

Whether it is O'Kevier now or Hamre who may be elected in the future, they will become mayors, but they are not so powerful, and everything needs to be supervised by the city council, and of course they are the nominal commanders of the city council.

Therefore, Hamlet does not have the right to sell Farewell Island to Qin Shiou, and of course Qin Shiou does not have so much money to buy Farewell Island.

Previously, the province of Quebec had just auctioned off a small island called "Konok". The island consists of only 13 wooden houses, 70 private lakes and 5 small islands, covering an area of about 26,305 hectares. Sold for $96 million!

Farewell Island is five times the size of Konok and has a permanent population. How is it priced? 500 million? 10 billion or 50 billion?!

But Qin Shiou remembered Hamley's promise, saying that if he was elected mayor, it would make him feel that Farewell Island was his private island, which was not bad.

Back at the villa, Winnie was waiting for him in the living room holding the little radish head watching TV, and as soon as he returned, Winnie went to the kitchen to pour him a bowl of decanting soup.

This kind of decanting soup was learned from Qin's mother during the Chinese New Year, using bighead carp head and ginger as the main ingredients, plus shredded tofu, mustard, bamboo shoots, and shredded mushrooms. Then mix with egg whites, the taste is sour and spicy, delicious and has the function of decanting.

Qin Shiou took a sip and gave a thumbs up, in fact, he didn't drink much, but he couldn't refuse Winnie's kindness.

In the past, when Qin Shiou was busy with work, he felt that it would be perfect to have a wife with red sleeves and fragrance in the middle of the night. Winnie is good enough for this role, but now he doesn't have to work in the middle of the night, but instead socializes in the middle of the night, and every time he comes home he sees Winnie waiting for him and preparing a supper for him. The heart is always satisfied.

In the days that followed, Hamlet visited Qin Shiou frequently and sent him bills, which were records of the expenses he and his team spent on the election campaign. This is for every voter who has financially supported him.

Naturally, however, ordinary voters were given only an email and a letter of thanks, without the need for Hamre to visit him personally.

Qin Shiou paid attention to the election situation. But he couldn't pay attention to it, because the fiddler crabs in the fishing grounds have been a bit unusual lately.

Fiddler crabs are a collective term for many species of crabs. There are more than 100 kinds in total, and the Daqin fishery is mainly Atlantic sand fiddler crab, Atlantic mud fiddler crab, Dayantong fiddler crab, dorsal spiny fiddler crab, narrow finger fiddler crab and several other species.

This little crab looks very interesting. They have a pair of matchstick-like protruding eyes, which are very special.

In addition, the most special thing is that the big claws of male crabs are not the same size, generally the right side is super big and the left side is super small, and the right claw is often placed on the chest, like a samurai's shield, which looks very majestic. The large claws of female crabs are the same size, so they are strange.

Fiddler crabs, unlike hermit crabs, live in burrows, and the depth of their burrows is related to the water table, and the bottom of the burrow needs to reach the damp soil.

Therefore, there are many small raised sand piles on the beach of the fishing ground, which are fiddler crabs that feed on sediment, they swallow the sediment, ingest the organic matter in it, and spit out the inedible parts out of the hole, and after a long time, they will make small protrusions.

Normally, fiddler crabs have a certain pattern of activity with the ebb and flow of the tide, hiding in their holes at high tide and moving on the beach after low tide, feeding and repairing their burrows.

But in recent days, the fiddler crabs in the fishing grounds no longer maintain such a routine, no matter day and night, regardless of the ebb and flow of the tide, there are some fiddler crabs crawling out, and a very hesitant look, as if they want to move to the high place on the beach.

At first, it was small, but by the end of the week, there was a sudden explosion of fiddler crabs, and countless small crabs burrowed out of their burrows and busily moved towards the higher parts of the beach.

Seeing this scene, Sha Ke and the other old fishermen nervously found Qin Shiou and said, "BOSS, there may be a big tide, we have to prepare." ”

Fiddler crabs have a strong ability to predict the tide, how strong is it? Regardless of the activity they are engaged in, they will stop their activity and return to the cave ten minutes before the tide arrives.

Not only that, but the body color of this small crab can change, becoming darker during the day at low tide and lighter at high tide at night. In some places, the time of the tide rises and falls is delayed by 50 minutes every day, and the time for the body color change of fiddler crabs in that place is also delayed by 50 minutes!

The old fishermen know this, and they judge the rise and fall of the tide based on the change in the color of the fiddler crabs, and now the fiddler crabs are moving to higher beaches, apparently because of the large high tide in the ocean.

Qin Shiou also understood this, but he was extremely depressed, because he had confirmed several times with the St. John's Marine Meteorological Bureau, and the Meteorological Bureau said that there had been no monsoons and large ocean currents passing through recently, and the orbit of the stars was also normal, and there would be no large waves.

In this way, technology and biological instincts collide again.

On weekends, when the children don't go to school, they see so many fiddler crabs on the beach, they don't even bother to play in the cold drink hut, and run to the beach to pick up fiddler crabs and play a game of crab fighting.

Tigers, leopards, bears and wolves also run around and play, Xiong Da is worthy of the name of a veritable foodie, while running to stuff fiddler crabs into his mouth, this thing it can eat with relish.

Qin Shiou followed him to the beach to observe the crab schools that behaved abnormally. (To be continued......)
