Golden Fishery

?

Among Canadian cities, Ottawa is the most quintessentially British.

When Qin Shiou was driving along the Rideau Canal, a Royal Mounted Policeman in a red tunic and a black military cap stopped him and told him that there was a pedestrian street in front of him, and sports cars and off-road vehicles were not allowed to enter.

In this way, Qin Shiou turned the car around and found a fast food restaurant to eat while waiting for Little Black.

Qin Shiou ordered two portions of pork belly rice, one large and one small, and some snacks such as grilled scallops and cheese pancakes. When the handsome waiter came up to deliver the food, he asked with a smile, "Are you here to play?"

"Yes." Qin Shiou nodded.

The waiter immediately promoted the restaurant's drinks: "Then you must try our baby- wine, it tastes great, if you come to Ottawa and don't taste baby-, it's like—— I'm taking the liberty to ask, What is your home country?"

"China."

"Okay, it's like coming to your China but not climbing the Great Wall, it's such a pity."

Qin Shiou laughed when he heard the waiter's words. He spread his hands and said, "Man, I really want to taste this glass of wine, but you know, I came by car, so I can't drink."

The waiter smiled and said, "I won't instigate you to commit a crime, but in fact, sir, you are too worried. Baby- it's a pre-dinner drink, drink a drink before driving, even if the Royal Mounted Police find you, you won't say anything, because they Like the '-and- (crossing the street to catch people)'."

Hear him. Powell just laughed, but Qin Shiou didn't understand what was so funny about it.

Powell, who had wandered in Ontario, knew all about these things. He explained to him: "'baby-' used to be the name of a kind of viscous sparkling wine. Ontario people liked to drink it and thought it was a good wine. Then a very famous sommelier said a word : If the police drink a glass of baby-, they will be fully awake after walking through a street, and they can catch bad guys when they are sober.”

"Yes, baby- means '-and-(Crossing the street to catch people)', after you drink it, you will be a policeman." The waiter added with a smile.

Qin Shiou thought about it. Little Blake will come over right away, so it doesn't matter if you don't drive yourself. Just said: "Okay, man, I'm convinced by you, please help me have a 'baby-'."

Ontario wines are famous throughout Canada. except here,

Wines from other places are treated as a joke by the international wine industry.

Qin Shiou ordered Riesling white wine, which was expensive, and just one glass was worth the meal he had with Powell.

But high-quality service at a high price. The glass of Riesling white wine he ordered tastes fragrant and slightly sour. It tastes fresh, soft and warm.

Qin Shiou was tasting here, and Little Black arrived. After sitting down, he sniffed the half-drinked white wine and said with a smile: "You really know how to enjoy it. You must have checked this restaurant before you came, right? Its baby- is quite famous in Ottawa. Give me some too."

"No, I can't drive after drinking, and you have to drive later." Qin Shiou hurriedly said, Canada's traffic laws are very strict, and catching drunk driving is not a matter of penalty points, but a year in which you don't want to touch it again to the car.

Little Blake waved his hand indifferently. Said: "Baby-is it considered wine? No, it's soda. I can still drive to Graebel to win an award if I drink a bottle."

After drinking, Qin Shiou left a tip of 20 yuan and left with Little Black, who had arranged for him to stay in a hotel, a five-star hotel called 'b\u0026b'.

This hotel is a luxurious modern Victorian building. There are six sets of the top rooms, which are decorated in the styles of six different countries, such as Florentine style, Indian style, etc. Of course, Qin Shiou lives in an ancient Chinese style room.

People who are more familiar with Qin Shiou know that he likes to enjoy the character, and they are quite particular about arranging his room and board.

"I wanted to take you to the inn, which is one of the oldest inns in Ottawa. It was established in the 18th century. It has cantilevered ceilings and wooden floors. It is also very comfortable. But after choosing, I think it is this ancient Chinese style room maybe It's more your temper." Little Black explained.

Qin Shiou asked how much the price was, Little Blake smiled and said, "I just made ten million with you, and when you arrive in Ottawa, how can I let you spend money?"

After resting in the hotel, Qin Shiou and Powell went shopping at night, bought some snacks and came back to watch TV. The next day, Little Black asked someone to pick them up and went to the auction site.

Qin Shiou was not interested in those porcelains, calligraphy and paintings, statues, decorations, etc. He just wanted to see his red coral beads.

The court beads are placed in the middle of the left side of the exhibition hall, which shows that the value of this auction item should not be low.

But Qin Shiou is not sure, because in the middle of the exhibition hall belonging to the most expensive art booth is a bad oil painting, which was just daubed with yellow, orange, and red dyes on a piece of oilcloth. It's worth two yuan. Take it back and wash it and it can be used as a rag.

In this way, since the most expensive works of art are like this bird, the value of the court beads placed on the side should be lower, right?

Of course, now Qin Shiou is someone who has seen big scenes at any rate, and knows that artworks cannot be judged by their appearance, so the price has not come out, and he will not foolishly characterize that oil painting.

Billy, as the nominal owner of Chaozhu, also came to the auction, but he arrived on the same day and didn't know what happened at home.

After arriving at the scene, he found Qin Shiou, pointed at Chaozhu and whispered triumphantly: "Look, I'm doing a good job, right?"

It's really not bad, Qin Shiou saw it just now, the chaozhu has been polished, and it is no longer dull, with a layer of patina on the surface, and it feels like this thing has been played with for a long time.

In addition, there was a poem written on the big bead in the center of the bead. Qin Shiou studied it for a while but couldn't understand it, so he picked up the introduction page next to it and read it.
