Golden Fishery

Qin Shiou did what he said, since he promised to join the basketball team in the town, he couldn't miss the appointment.

What's more, besides going out to sea all day and blowing the sea breeze, he is a little bored, so it would be nice to play a game of basketball.

There is no training hall in Farewell Town, and the basketball team practices on street basketball courts.

It's noon, the sun is shining brightly, and the basketball court is empty. Little Hughes was shirtless, but he was having fun by himself. Qin Shiou dunked a basket at will, and ran to watch the door of Little Hughes' grocery store when he felt that it was too hot.

Qin Shiou's vision is fine. Although there are only two groups of customers from China, the sales of this grocery store are not low, especially the American ginseng, which sells the best.

When Hughes bought these American ginseng from the Sioux tribe in the Rocky Mountains, they only cost ten to one hundred yuan a piece, and they were sold in grocery stores, and a piece could be sold for five hundred to five thousand yuan without bargaining. .

In addition, those Sioux statues and all kinds of furs were also selling very well, every piece of fur was sold out by the girls, Zhong Chuchu bought five sets of snow fox furs and two sets of mink furs at that time.

Little Hughes himself is quite smart, and he added a business, which is to rent bows and arrows and spear guns.

The ordinary longbows and shortbows made by the townspeople were all bought by him and engraved with some Indian-style patterns and letters, and he uniformly declared that they were hunting bows and arrows used by the Sioux Indians. This kind of bow and arrow has poor hand feel and poor accuracy, but each one is expensive to rent, and tourists still enjoy it.

Not long after Qin Shiou entered the grocery store, a small group of three members walked in. Seeing Qin Shiou, the couple were taken aback and asked, "Where's the boss?"

Subconsciously. They all used Chinese and thought that Qin Shiou was also a tourist.

Qin Shiou explained with a smile, saying that the boss is his friend who plays basketball on the street, and he is an immigrant here.

The couple introduced themselves. The man is a small business owner and the woman is a housewife. The daughter is six years old and just entered the first grade of elementary school. She took advantage of the summer vacation to travel abroad.

"I heard that this newly opened line is very good, not only the scenery is good, but also fishing, fishing, hunting in the mountains, sailing on the sea, etc., so we came here. It turned out that this town is really nice, and the people are very nice, There is no induced consumption or mandatory consumption." The man named Li Delong said with a smile.

The little girl looked at Qin Shiou curiously. Asked: "Are you Chinese too, Uncle?"

Qin Shiou nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, uncle is also Chinese and lives here now.

"

The little girl nodded delicately, sighed a little, and said, "It would be great if I could live here, there are so many small animals. I also met a deer yesterday. Most importantly, I don't want to go back go to school."

Qin Shiou was amused by her, and said, "That's not okay. You have to study hard. Uncle just studied well, and later he got admitted to the university here and stayed. If you study well in the future, you can also get admitted to the university here."

The little girl was very disappointed, she pouted and said, "Huh? There is also a school here?"

Li Delong handed Qin Shiou a cigarette, and the latter shook his head. He put it in his mouth and asked, "Can I smoke?"

"It's okay. You can smoke everywhere in Farewell Town, and there are not so many particulars here." Qin Shiou said.

Li Delong lit a smoke ring. Said: "That's good. After we arrived, a very beautiful tour guide told us that there are no other taboos except not littering. This is much better than those tourist routes in Bali and Hawaii. Vacation is going to jail, you can’t do this, you can’t touch that, it’s boring!”

"You should smoke less." The young woman who had been looking at the statues and animal furs curiously turned around and said.

Li Delong smiled, hid beside Qin Shiou and continued smoking.

Qin Shiou saw the little girl staring at a stuffed bobtail cat, so he took it and handed it to her for her to play with. Li Delong asked, "How much is this?"

Qin Shiou looked at the label on the back, grinned quietly in his heart, and said, "Five hundred and fifty yuan."

This small bobtail cat specimen is a doll that the Sioux people caught the bobtail cat, hollowed out the meat and ate it, stuffed the remaining fur with cotton and sewed it up, and replaced the eyes with plastic beads. However, the Sioux people are very good at craftsmanship, and the bobtail cat repairs vividly, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary toys.

Those who can travel abroad are rich people. In terms of conversion, the price of this kitten is more than two thousand yuan. As a result, Li Delong took it and looked at it, and found that it was a real wild animal skin, so he paid for it.

Qin Shiou said: "My fellow, you don't need a change, five hundred yuan is ok."

He remembered that many of these specimens were given away for free by the Sioux people, because they sewed these things when they were bored. Most of the animals that can be used as specimens are animals with useless fur, so in the eyes of the Sioux people, this thing is worthless.

Qin Shiou felt that the money earned was not very at ease. Later, Li Delong's family bought two more American ginseng trees and was about to leave. He took out a wooden pipe carving and handed it to Li Delong, saying: "I gave it to you, keep it as a souvenir."

Li Delong accepted it, handed him a business card, and said, "Thank you, little brother, if you go to the capital someday, I will treat you to dinner."

The weather got cooler in the afternoon, Hughes and others came out for training wearing jerseys, and Qin Shiou ran out.

Hughes Jr. explained to him that the summer league is an amateur game, so each game is not divided into four quarters of 48 minutes, but two halves of 20 minutes each. The team is configured with five starters and three substitutes.

When they arrived at the basketball court, Hughes introduced Qin Shiou. Except for the three of them, the remaining five people were:

The offspring of German immigrants, big center Guderian Babik, repair shop owner and strong power forward Johnson Zade, Grant Elementary School physical education teacher Harlan Lawrence, geography teacher Mark Wiley, and another is A college student at St. Johns called Gordon Clyde.

For amateur teams, the training is relatively simple, that is, everyone gets to know each other and get used to each other, so as to find a tacit understanding.

Except for Little Hughes, the other players didn't know much about Qin Shiou's style of play. Hughes was a little worried and said, "Qin, try to communicate with us as much as possible. We must know more about you, otherwise the next game will not be easy. "

Little Hughes said with a smile: "Qin's style of play is easy to understand, that is, I will hand over the dribble to him, and he will solve the scoring. You can just pull yourself out and play."

The others laughed, thinking Hughes Jr. was joking.

But soon, they stopped laughing.

Allocating a half-basket field confrontation, Hughes Jr. passed the ball to Qin Shiou, who got the ball outside the three-point line, faced Lawrence's defense, and quickly changed hands with a shake of his shoulder.

Lawrence was taken aback, Qin Shiou immediately shot out like an arrow off the string, no one reacted, no one could defend, Qin Shiou rushed into the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and soared into the air, swung his arm like a battle axe, and there was a loud bang Slam the ball into the hoop.

Attacking again, Lawrence defended close to him, Qin Shiou slammed back, Lawrence couldn't bear the strength for a moment, felt as if he had been run over by a car, and couldn't help but retreat.

With space, Qin Shiou charged again, rushed to the basket to face Johnson, who was defending up, jumped up and made a throw and made a hit.

It was still Qin Shiou's possession of the ball. Lawrence didn't dare to get too close, so he let him go to prevent him from breaking through. Qin Shiou smiled slightly, stood up, raised his arms flat, flicked his wrists softly, and shot a jump shot!

'Shua', with a crisp sound, the basketball obediently got into the net.

Little Hughes shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is there still a need to continue running in?" (To be continued)
