It is not difficult to choose 14 out of 49 people, because they have not been exposed to the aquaculture industry, so it is even simpler: priority is given to the navy, priority is given to those with a strong sense of responsibility, priority is given to those with a good personality, and priority is given to those who have excellent spoken English.

After choosing a good person, Qin Shiou signed a contract with fifteen people under the witness of Yan Donglei, and then took them to the fishing grounds, and began to learn the work at sea and conduct internships.

The spoken language of the fifteen people is not very good, especially the fishermen's accent dialect is very strong, and they like to speak some abbreviations and slang, and the spoken language of the Chinese soldiers stumbles with their own Chinese dialect, so that after entering the fishing ground, when they come into contact with the fishermen, the two sides talk to each other without knowing what each other is talking about.

Qin Shiou had no choice but to call Pao Hai in advance and sign a contract with him to hire him as the chief engineer of the Melon Princess, so that with him as the central translator, the two sides could communicate.

But this is not the way, Qin Shiou opened a teaching class by himself, and in the evening, he trained the group in English, and directly imposed a hard rule that after Christmas, oral inspection will be conducted, and those who cannot have basic conversations will be dismissed!

After returning to the fishing ground, Qin Shiou was busy making a fishing plan, and when he went out for a walk in the evening, he saw the bright lights at the door of the small warehouse next to the wharf, and many people gathered there.

He looked over and saw that Black Knife and the others were wearing sunglasses and using an electric soldering iron and a welding torch to weld some iron pieces and iron rods, and there were people around watching and coming up with ideas from time to time.

Qin Shiou was curious and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Seeing him, he stood up with the gas bag holding the computer and waved his hand and said, "We found some gadgets in the town and want to use them to make a sculpture." It can not only decorate the fishing grounds, but also reflect the event. ”

I don't know how long the GIs have been busy. Each of them had a welding torch in their hands, and Shaq and the others were still helping. But because everyone was only responsible for a part, Qin Shiou couldn't see what kind of sculpture they were making.

"It's a steel poppy, and the petals will have some names on it, and it can be more than two meters tall, so I think it would be good to stand on the dock or something." ”

Qin Shiou probably understood that poppy is the main raw material for the manufacture of Du products, and most countries in the world strictly prohibit the cultivation of this crop, but for Invalids Day, this flower has special significance. It is a commemorative flower used for this festival.

This tradition stems from a Franco-Belgian war, during which the western Belgian and northern French borders were the most heavily fought areas, where many soldiers died. In May 1915, a military doctor saw poppies all over the mountains while burying the remains of his comrades, so he wrote his famous work "On the Land of Flanders". Since then, the flower has gradually become a symbol of British commemoration of fallen soldiers.

There are many people to do things, and when Qin Shiou ran in the morning the next morning, he saw that a huge steel poppy had been erected on the wharf. However, it has not been painted, so it looks black and rugged, not very beautiful, but it does have a solemn feeling.

A few days after that. The fishermen began to set up plans to go out to sea to fish, and the ten people recruited from the town could go directly to work, while the Chinese fishermen were responsible for some manual work. Such as packing up the fishing boats, such as transporting the catch from the fishing boats to the freezer, and so on.

At the beginning of the 10th, the comrades-in-arms of Nelson and others came to the fishing grounds. Qin Shiou arranged a helicopter for them to pick up and drop off his comrades, and Bird was in charge. Others continued to work, and the work in November was a little intense.

On the morning of the 11th, everyone who should have come came, Qin Shiou gave Black Dao and the others a holiday, chartered Daddy Hickson's restaurant in the town, and arranged it for the group to use for activities.

Qin Shiou, as the boss of the seven, went over to receive him in the morning, and Bird helped him prepare a poppy made of velvet and pinned it to his chest, which is also a tradition, and the people who participated in the Invalids Day today, from the queen to the commoners, must wear poppies to express their condolences.

Invalids Day is targeted, for a town far away from the world, far away from the war, the atmosphere of the anniversary is not heavy, there are related activities in St. John's, only the second owner of the outdoor supermarket, Paolo Sagro, and his two second goods also wear this flower.

After putting on the poppy, Qin Shiou gave Bird a check, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the money I bought for the flowers." ”

In each event, poppies are mostly made by veterans, and those who participate in the commemoration need to buy them, but they do not set a price, they can give five cents or five hundred yuan, and the purchaser can set the price freely, and the money goes to the veterans' association, which is used to pay for the disabled veterans, the families of the fallen soldiers and the war memorial.

Bird didn't look at the numbers on it, carefully folded it and put it in his wallet, and smiled, "Thank you, Boss." ”

After entering Daddy's restaurant, about thirty or forty people were laughing loudly, and when they saw Qin Shiou, their voices were silent for a while, and the black knife got up and introduced: "This is our boss, this event is sponsored by him, a good person, a good person who takes care of us very much." ”

After the introduction of the black knife, a group of people whistled and waved to Qin Shiou one after another.

A middle-aged man in a jacket walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Ferguson, I am a guy with Black Knife and BB Cream, thank you for taking care of them, we have all heard, these guys have had a good life in the past two years." ”

Qin Shiou shook hands with the middle-aged man, and then found that this person's hand was disabled, his right hand only had a thumb and little finger, and there was a thick callus in the palm, and he should be doing hard work now.

He guessed in his heart and said politely: "This is what I should do, you have shed blood for the country, and they have sweated for my fishing grounds, so no matter what I do, it is a matter of course." ”

"But there are a lot of people who don't think so!" A middle-aged man with loose skin and blank eyes came over and said indignantly, "Especially those damned politicians in Maple Leaf City, send us to the battlefield if necessary, and then don't care, Fake Squid!" Let them go! ”

Nelson grabbed him and said in a deep voice, "Matt, don't talk about this, it's all guys who are here today, and we can solve our own predicament by ourselves, can't we?" God is always in your heart and mine. ”

Matt shook Nelson off and muttered, "Fuck God!" God in your heart, you have a decent job, I heard that you also have a beautiful chick girlfriend like a little flower? What about me? I don't have anything but a broken leg! ”

At this time, Qin Shiou noticed that Matt's walking posture was a little wrong, but it shouldn't be too serious.

Bird lowered his face and whispered, "Matt, for Barnes's sake, don't say it, okay?" Go drink your wine! Drink as much as you want today! (To be continued......)
