Golden Fishery

631. A Different Style

Driving the car, Luo Zhiwei began to talk eloquently: "If you like to run a farm, Canada is indeed more suitable. I have to admit that the relevant agricultural policies here are much better than those in China. Investing in a farm is very good, just like a saying As the saying goes, money always depreciates, but land always appreciates.”

Qin Shiou thinks this makes sense. When he checked the information on the farm before, he found that with the rise in world food prices and agricultural and sideline product prices, COFCO and other state-owned enterprises have changed their development strategies and set up farms in underdeveloped countries and invested in overseas farms.

Of course, they chose Africa, because land prices and labor in Africa are much cheaper than in Canada.

But for individuals, if you want to invest in overseas farms, it is better to choose Canada.

It is true that land and labor are cheap in Africa, but the local society is in turmoil, the law is not sound, and the local people have serious xenophobia. Individuals without a country as a backer will never feel safe in such a place.

Qin Shiou told Mao Weilong what he knew, and encouraged him to stay in Hamilton. Otherwise, if he was allowed to go to Montana, it would be more difficult for the two to meet again.

Luo Zhiwei heard that Mao Weilong was also more interested in the United States, so he compared: "It is better to open a farm in Canada than in the United States, because Canada is a developed industrial country, and agriculture only occupies a small part. In order to encourage the development of agriculture, the Canadian government can formulate a series of The subsidy policy for farmers is incomparable to that of the United States, because there are too many large-scale farms in the United States, and land mergers are serious."

Mother Earth Farm is well planned. The farmland is divided into squares, some of which are planted with corn and others with barley. Some grow buckwheat, some grow soybeans, and some grow rapeseed.

The planting time of these crops is not uniform, so some of them have already grown vigorously, some have just germinated, and some have not even appeared. Luo Zhiwei did not explain that Qin Shiou and the others did not know what to plant immediately.

but. Whether it is just growing or has grown vigorously, it depends on the growth condition. Obviously the land on this farm is fertile enough.

Mao Weilong was very satisfied with this, and he introduced it to Qin Shiou: "This farm is the best among the farms I have visited. There is a farm in front of which the pasture grows well. But after I took a closer look, I found that the grassland was soiled. The layer is shallow, and there are many rocks, which can only grow grass, not suitable for growing vegetables and food."

"There is another farm. The farmer is too greedy. He only cares about farming but doesn't care about the land. After more than ten years, the farm land has been destroyed, the rain has turned into a mud pond, and the drought has turned into a desert. If you buy that farm Renovation, if you don’t have four or five years, and don’t invest hundreds of thousands of dollars, it won’t be useful.”

After listening to Mao Weilong's words.

Luo Zhiwei laughed and said: "Little brother, our farm is not a big deal, the area may not be enough. But in terms of soil quality, it is definitely among the best in Hamotun."

When Luo Zhiwei said this, Mao Weilong, Qin Shiou and Ouyang Hai were all stunned. The three of them looked at each other stupidly, and asked together in doubt: "Hamatun? Where is Hamatun? Is this the town?"

Seeing that the three were puzzled, Cai Mingjuan said with a smile: "Hamotun is Hamilton. We Chinese have nicknamed it here, and you read the English pronunciation of Hamilton separately. You will understand why our fellow villagers call it that."

Qin Shiou read it silently. Hamilton's English is, if you read it separately, it is ha--. If you read it slowly, it is really the pronunciation of Hamotun.

"It's not just transliteration. If you look at the old map, you will know that Hamilton was formed by annexing the surrounding towns a few years ago. The city used to be like a big toad with its claws stretched out on the map." Luo Zhiwei added.

Listening to the teasing of the two, Mao Weilong found it really interesting. He poked Qin Shiou with his elbow, and said with a smile, "You have been in Canada for a year, and you don't even know Hamilton's nickname?"

Although Qin Shiou enjoys life passively, after all, he is surrounded by natives and has a fairly deep understanding of many cities in this country, so he said with a smile: "Who told you that I don't know its nickname? I didn't expect our compatriots to be so talented. Can come up with a name like Hamatun."

"Then do you need another nickname?" Mao Weilong asked curiously.

Qin Shiou nodded, and said, "The natives of Hamilton should like to call this city 'Crackling Nest'."

This nickname has something to do with the shape of the Golden Horseshoe area. This metropolis bends on the map. It is called the Golden Horseshoe, which is a literary and artistic name. The common name is Hamilton. It does look like a crooked squeaker on the map too.

Luo Zhiwei and his wife naturally knew the name, so they smiled and listened to Qin Shiou explain to Mao Weilong.

After listening to it, Mao Weilong shook his head and said with emotion: "When it comes to nicknames, we Chinese are still good at it. What's the point of creaking nests? This explanation doesn't make any sense at all, and it's far worse than our Hamotun."

A group of people listened to Luo Zhiwei and his wife introduce the farm while chatting freely in the car. They didn't have the freedom and vastness of the fishing ground, but they also had a special interest.

When the electric car drove to the south edge of the farm, a garden appeared. The garden was about 20 to 30 acres, and there were stone crosses in it.

Mao Weilong had seen too many such scenes in Hollywood blockbusters, so he subconsciously asked, "God, isn't this a cemetery?"

Luo Zhiwei said happily: "Yes, this is the cemetery."

Mao Weilong looked at Luo Zhiwei's happy face in puzzlement, and secretly pulled Qin Shiou and said in a low voice: "Fuck, buddy, this brother doesn't have mental illness, does he? Why are you so happy that the mother's farm is built next to the cemetery? "

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "It's time for me to pretend again. You don't understand this. This is a Canadian habit. Most locals believe in Christianity. And Christianity believes that the purpose is the place closest to heaven, so many purposes in Canada are to be with you. Parks are built together, and some are built next to residential areas."

Mao Weilong was speechless secretly, and asked in surprise: "A residential area is built next to the cemetery? Don't panic."

"What's the matter? Many people like to live next to the cemetery. When the night is quiet and people open the windows, it is said that they can directly see the heaven." Ouyang Hai interjected and laughed.

This is the cultural surprise. Although Canada and the United States are young and new countries, the cultural history of the residents of the two countries has a long and profound Christianity, which is closely related to the lives of believers.

Only when you come to these countries can you truly experience the integration between Christian culture and daily life. The impact of religious doctrine and culture on the life and social aspects of believers is pervasive.

Qin Shiou sometimes strolled in the town of Farewell Town and met some people. Their casual greetings came from the Bible. Qin Shiou heard it in a cloud, but in fact that sentence may mean blessing, good luck, and peace. Of course There are also some polite connotations.

Anyway, very complicated! (to be continued)
