Golden Fishery

Hearing what Weini said, Qin Shiou couldn't help but smile wryly. Silly girl, do you think that it is a matter of soil and water that vegetables and fruits can survive and grow so well in fishing grounds? Wrong, it was your man who provided it with Seagod energy.

On the contrary, Kapalai's eyes were bright, and he asked excitedly: "Mayor Winnie, if the town opens a vegetable greenhouse, will it require more staff?"

Winnie nodded and asked curiously, "Do you have any relatives or friends working in Canada?"

Kapalai smiled embarrassedly: "I want to take over my wife. They live very hard in my country. I think it will be much better if they can come here to work."

Because of the economic downturn, the government has no more money to invest in social infrastructure and citizen welfare. Therefore, in the past two years, the immigration policy has been tightened, and families like Kapalai have almost been unable to immigrate. However, Canada is sparsely populated and requires a lot of labor, so it has been very liberal in terms of labor imports.

Qin Shiou didn't want Wei Ni to engage in this kind of sideline business, it was completely nonsense, and he was the one who struggled in the end, so while gnawing on the delicious fat bird legs, he took out his mobile phone to check the specific economic situation online, to see if there was any reason to convince him.

Xiong Da stretched out his paw to support his shoulder, looked pitifully at the fat bird leg in his hand, and swallowed hard, but Qin Shiou didn't notice it.

According to the announcement issued by Statistics Canada, food prices in Canada climbed 32% in one year in January and February this year, and 34% higher than the previous month, and supermarket food prices increased by 35% compared with the same period last year.

This increase is nothing. Qin Shiou showed it to Wei Ni, saying that it was the result of the Bureau of Statistics, and that Canada's economy was not as bad as everyone said-the food in the United States also increased by 22% during the same period.

When he said this, before Winnie could speak, the fishermen were already angrily cursing: "Fake Squid Statistics Bureau. Let these idiots go to hell! What do they say that supermarket food prices have increased by 35% compared to the same period last year? Shit, I Look at 35%."

"Really. When you go there, you just swipe your card and don't look at the price. The average price of food in supermarkets has increased by 20% to 30% compared with the same period last year. For example, last year's parsley was as low as 35 yuan per pound. What about this year? I didn't Found one under 5 yuan!"

"Because of the rising cost of food, many supermarkets are unwilling to throw away some spoiled fruits and vegetables in order to save costs, and even sell them. They make special food, and there is nothing they can do if there is a problem."

Canadian supermarkets engage in special sales every day, because it is a special product. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be defects. The choice of this depends on personal vision and luck. If you buy something with a problem, you cannot go back and exchange it.

Kapalai listened to the complaints of the fishermen,

He also muttered: "Last weekend, Song and I went to St. Johns for a big purchase. Song bought a package of special-priced rapeseed, but when I took it out of the refrigerator the next day, I found it was rotten. I bought a box of peaches. , The supermarket said they were organic peaches from Ontario, with a special price of 399 yuan per box. But when I bought it home and opened it, half of the peaches were rotten, and there were fruit flies flying around. I almost thought I was back in Cuba!"

Qin Shiou felt that they were a bit exaggerated. He read the news on the Internet, according to the report. In the past year, food prices in Canada have risen by 32%, which is a bit high, but not exaggerated.

However, according to interviews, residents in all regions do feel that the increase in food prices is much higher than the figures from the Bureau of Statistics. Moreover, Canada is also facing a food safety crisis. In order to make up for the increase in cost prices, many supermarkets have not only adopted measures to increase prices, but at the same time, the quality of fruits and vegetables in supermarkets has also declined significantly in order to save costs.

More than 20 fishermen and Kapalai agreed with Winnie's New Deal. They believed that the town should be run by the government to set up a farm to grow vegetables, fruits, and raise cattle and sheep to regulate the town's prices.

Qin Shiou felt that this idea was unreliable. A market is a market with its own rules. Small towns need to connect with the market. The big deal is just to raise wages, what kind of farm are you doing? Play? There will definitely be a lot of problems then.

Winnie is full of confidence. The fishery has been cultivating vegetables and fruits in the past few years, and has accumulated a lot of high-quality vegetable and fruit seeds. It is a good idea to bid farewell to the wasteland on the island and use it to generate income.

Qin Shiou wanted to refute, but couldn't find a better way to say that the farewell island is far from the land, and it was difficult to transport vegetables and fruits to the island, which led to an increase in related costs. However, this disadvantage can also be converted into an advantage to some extent, that is, if the town really builds its own internal market, it will be relatively easy to stabilize the market because there will not be many outsiders purchasing.

Otherwise, if you find a large community in St. Johns to set up a low-price and high-quality vegetable market, it is estimated that the local people will not be able to buy anything at all, and it will be bought by outsiders.

Qin Shiou shook his head, then felt a lightness in his hand, turned his head and saw that Xiong Da was chewing his mouth contentedly, the bird leg in his hand had only the bone of the claw left in his hand.

After drinking beer, eating fried fish, grilled shellfish and Cuban roast bird, the group separated, those on duty were on duty, and those who rested went back to rest.

In the next few days, at the end of March, the group of short-tailed fulmars finished their rest and embarked on the migration road again, flying northward, to northern Canada and Greenland.

After the group of short-tailed fulmars left, Qin Shiou thought he could sleep well. Although there were three birds watching outside, there were still many birds chirping at night, which caused them to sleep poorly. The quality of sleep has plummeted in the past two days.

As a result, when the short-tailed fulmar left, there were still many birds left in the fishery, besides some juveniles and tired old birds as usual, there were also many seagulls, or mainly seagulls.

Compared with the excitement when he saw seagulls when he first came to the farewell island, Qin Shiou is now immune to this species with the same last letter of his name, and he can see seagulls all year round in the fishing grounds, and he found that seagulls are not as good as advertised at all. Cute, is a very annoying bird.

Seagulls like to build nests randomly and like to defecate everywhere. This is far worse than the short-tailed fulmar. The latter only builds nests in the woods, and defecates in the fishing grounds. Occasionally, they can provide meat to the people in the fishing grounds.

Where are the seagulls? Only destruction.

What's more, seagulls eat fish from fishing grounds, so it doesn't matter when the number is small. Now tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of seagulls may appear in fishing grounds, and the damage will be more serious.

Qin Shiou didn't pay attention at first, thinking that these seagulls would leave with the short-tailed fulmars, because they followed the short-tailed fulmars, but after a full week, it was early April, and these seagulls were still in the fishing ground.

Moreover, the seagulls seem to be calling for friends, and there are more and more seagulls in the fishery! (to be continued)
