Golden Fishery

On September 18, Qin Shiou changed into a Tang suit and took Winnie to this Chinese gathering.

When he went abroad, especially in North America, Qin Shiou discovered that Chinese people pay special attention to some historical events. Many anniversaries have parties, and many festivals also have parties.

This is also a method adopted by the Chinese to enhance cohesion, and compared with the local whites, the Chinese need unity more, so many immigrants welcome this kind of gathering, relying on friends when they go out, and this kind of gathering is a good opportunity to meet friends and expand circles .

The gathering was held not in St. Johns, but in Corner Brook, a city on the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

St. Johns is the largest city in Newfoundland, while Corner Brook ranks second, but there are more Chinese in this city than St. Johns.

This is related to the composition of the economic markets of the two places. St. Johns mainly generates income from fishing and tourism, while Corner Brook’s economy relies on logging, limestone mining, animal husbandry and paper making, which is more suitable for Chinese investors and migrant workers. .

Corner Brook is located at the mouth of the Humber River on the west coast of Newfoundland, with a population of less than 50,000, including about 8,000 Chinese. It is a famous Chinese city in Canada.

If it wasn't the first time he was invited and was embarrassed to refuse, Qin Shiou really didn't want to go. Cornerbrook is in the west of Newfoundland, while Farewell Town is in the east, which is a bit far away.

However, Qin Shiou couldn't fly a helicopter yet, because they were wearing dresses to the party, and when they got off the helicopter, the wind was too strong, and it was easy to wrinkle their clothes and blow dust.

In this way, we can only leave early, otherwise the party will not be able to catch up. Just go straight to dinner.

Originally, Qin Shiou didn't want to drive and felt a little tired, but it was no longer the case after he got on the road.

Newfoundland, like the rest of Canada, is a large area with straight, wide roads and few cars in the morning. After driving on the road, it is like a horse reining on the grassland, which is so refreshing.

At the beginning, Qin Shiou was relatively restrained. When he saw the speed limit sign on the road, he controlled the speed below 100 kilometers per hour.

Winnie smiled and said, "You can just speed up, don't care about the speed limit signs. The speed limit signs in Newfoundland are just a decoration. Now you can drive to 120 or even 150, absolutely no problem."

When Qin Shiou heard this, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, and President One roared and accelerated again. The cedar and maple trees on the side of the road were quickly left behind.

At this speed, on this road condition,

The superior performance of President One is reflected.

Although the speed increased again and again, the car did not float at all, and drove steadily on the road. In addition, because the road is flat, sitting in the car does not feel the slightest bump. The method is like sitting on a chair at home, and you can see the scenery outside the window.

The coolest thing is. Driving on such a flat road, Qin Shiou didn't have to pay tolls. There is no toll on any road in Newfoundland. You can open it as you like.

After the sun rose and the temperature of the air rose, Qin Shiou opened the window, feeling the refreshment of the strong wind blowing past his ears.

From St. Johns to Corner Brook, the road is all semi-prairie land, so look out from the car. It is often possible to see several kilometers at a glance, boundless. The sky and the earth seem to join together.

About halfway through the journey, Qin Shiou passed by a large lake. Weini asked him to stop for a rest, and Qin Shiou got out of the car and walked to the lake for about ten minutes.

This lake is bigger than Shenbao Lake, and the lake water is clearer. It is a bit like a scene in "Forrest Gump". Forrest Gump is striding on the road, and there is such a big lake beside him.

"The lake in the mountains around me is so clear, Jenny, it's like another piece of sky, blending with each other, so I can't tell where is the sky and where is the water."

Qin Shiou couldn't help thinking of this classic line, the lake is so clear now.

After taking a dozen photos, Qin Shiou went on the road again, and gradually there were more people and cars behind him. Every time a car passed by, both sides would honk their horns to signal. Even, sometimes some drivers will chat a few words on the radio.

Qin Shiou felt that this situation was quite novel. When he turned on the radio on the road, he would respond twice when someone spoke. He used to see such scenes when he watched Hollywood western blockbusters, but he did not expect to experience it now.

In fact, this is quite normal. The six or seven-hour drive is full of boundless emptiness, and it is easy to cause mental fatigue and numbness. In this way, drivers will naturally cherish every car they encounter on the road.

We set out at six o'clock in the morning, and finally arrived at the small town of Cornerbrook when we had lunch at noon.

The folds and folds that were scrubbed before the departure of President 1 were shining, and when they arrived at the Winston Wooden Boat Hotel in the small town, it was already covered with a layer of dust...

The Winston Wooden Boat Hotel is a five-star hotel in Corner Brook. The tertiary industry in Canada is very developed. Even a city with a population of only 40,000 to 50,000 has several five-star hotels.

Qin Shiou called Yan Donglei, and he drove over to pick them up. Seeing Weini wearing a cheongsam with a high bun, a look of surprise flashed in Yan Donglei's eyes, and he said, "Xiao Qin, you are so lucky to have found such an outstanding girlfriend."

Winnie smiled softly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Yan Donglei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth, and your Chinese is also very good. Many Chinese brothers who attended the meeting this time did not speak standard."

Taking the two of them into the hotel, the room has already been opened, a luxurious double bed room, Yan Donglei asked if he had any comments, Qin Shiou smiled from ear to ear, and repeatedly said no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, no."

One room, one big bed, what else is there to change? Whoever replaces Qin Shiou has to be in a hurry with him!

At noon, Yan Donglei went to a Chinese restaurant called 'Spicy Girl', and he knew it was a Hunan restaurant.

Yan Donglei introduced to him that the owners of the Winston Wooden Boat Hotel and this Chinese restaurant are all Chinese. Now the Chinese play a major role in the economic development of the small town, and many industries have been acquired by the Chinese.

The Chinese are very famous in Canada now, but unfortunately, this fame is only related to money. Although Qin Shiou is an angry youth, he has to admit that the image created by the Japanese and Koreans in Canada is better.

The party was held at 1:30 in the afternoon. Yan Donglei was indeed very respectable in the Newfoundland Chinese community. After they were seated, the chef and owner of the restaurant, Liu Qing, personally cooked the fish head with chopped pepper, Dong'an chicken, steamed cured meat, and steamed green pepper. Famous Hunan dishes such as eggplant, rock sugar Xianglian, Wugang dried fragrant, red pepper cured beef, etc., and then accompanied by dinner.

During the meal, Yan Donglei briefly mentioned the process of the gathering. There was a report meeting in the afternoon, a tea party after four o'clock, and an auction dinner at half past six in the evening.

After hearing Yan Donglei's introduction, Qin Shiou took out the auction items he had prepared this time.

Opening the exquisite box, the magnificent golden snail revealed its charming and amazing face. Yan Donglei is also a person who knows the goods. When he saw the shell of this snail, his eyes widened, and he said, "Xiao Qin, you really paid for it!" Ah." (to be continued)
