Golden Fishery

Dried bonito can't be eaten on the same day, and the roasting process takes at least two days, or even more, but the essence of the bonito gravy comes out, and Qin Shiou mixes it with cold dishes at night, and the taste is much better than light soy sauce and soy sauce vinegar up.

The snowflakes kept drifting. Qin Shiou sighed as he looked at the pure white world outside. This time it was really a snow disaster. Although his hometown belongs to the north, it is relatively south, so he has never seen such a heavy snow.

Qin Shiou had nothing to do, so he drove a snow plow to clean the path of the fishing ground every once in a while. He also had some discomforts when his family grew up, such as cleaning up snow was a big problem.

On the fourth day of snowfall, Qin Shiou's cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Hamle's call, he connected it and asked what was the matter.

Hamley asked about his recent situation and Winnie's body, and then said: "St Johns has a traditional project, that is, when a natural disaster occurs, a four-town charity auction will be held, this time on Saturday , are you interested?"

Qin Shiou is actually not very interested. He doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to Canada. He feels that he is done with the one-third of an acre of farewell town.

However, the focus of this kind of town charity auction is not how much money to donate, but everyone to show their love, so although he has no interest, he still said that he will participate on Saturday.

As for what he wants to auction, what else is there besides the black pearl? He chose six black pearls the size of soybeans, which was worth a lot, because they were all top-quality black pearls, and even if they were small, one was worth more than 10,000 Canadian dollars.

When Auerbach learned that he was going to participate in the Four Towns Auction, he explained the origin of the auction to him, saying that it was really appropriate for him to participate because it was a charity auction. In fact, it was initiated by his second grandfather Qin Hongde.

The charity auction came about in 1980, the year St. Johns was hit by a once-in-a-decade typhoon. There are countless victims, and the city government is somewhat helpless. Reconstruction after the disaster has been slow.

Even the cities couldn't get rescue for a long time, and the remote towns naturally couldn't get rescue resources. Many people's houses were destroyed. At that time, there was heavy rain after the typhoon, and many people were homeless and could only hide in such places as stations and coffee shops. public area.

So Qin Hongde called on the bourgeoisie in Bifare Town to hold a charity auction to rescue the homeless, at least to guarantee their accommodation and food.

After Qin Hongde sent out his appeal, he immediately got responses from some wealthy people in Bifare Town, and his appeal was quite large, except for Farewell Town. Some capitalists in Mecca, Ted, and Little Bear also responded.

This is the origin of the Four Towns Charity Auction,

Because the people who participated in the auction at the beginning came from these four towns.

"Your grandpa auctioned off the yacht he just bought. I still remember his words at the auction, 'Some people can't even drink hot soup, how can I still drive a yacht to have fun at sea', really touching sentence ’” Auerbach sighed.

Later, the charity auction of the four towns became bigger and bigger. Whenever there was a serious natural disaster in St. Johns, someone would initiate this auction. The number of participants expanded from four towns to six towns and eight towns. Then the city, and now the province.

After figuring out the situation of this auction, Qin Shiou thought about it, so that he is actually the protagonist. The four black pearls were not very handy, so he replaced them with seven, and named the black pearls. From Monday to Sunday, Sunday is a big black pearl the size of a peanut. The total value exceeds one hundred thousand Canadian dollars.

Auerbach said that this is not necessary, as long as he can show up and show his love.

Qin Shiou said: "It doesn't matter. Just count it as a virtue for my child. I hope everything is safe before he is born, and he and Wei Ni are safe."

The snowing time really lasted long enough. On Saturday, there were still small snowflakes falling, and the thickness of the snow was more than half a meter. The airports in the whole of Newfoundland were suspended, and 9% of the highways were closed. ten!

When Qin Shiou watched the news at night, he saw that the roofs of some slum houses were crushed by the snow, and a birch tree in front of the St. Johns City Hall was also toppled by the snow. Qin Shiou was also drunk. strong.

Many people from Qin Shiou went to St. John's by boat on Saturday. This charity auction was for the whole people. Shaq and others were also invited. Of course, it was not Hamley who invited them. A total of more than 100 people went to the town, some went to take pictures, and some took things with them.

Canadians have a strong sense of charity. For example, Hughes Jr. belongs to the kind of anarchist supporter. He usually laughs and has no business. This time he participated in the charity auction, he wore a thick Sioux-style belt with a belt buckle But gold.

Qin Shiou had seen this belt in a grocery store before, but Little Hughes didn't put a price on it, he just showed it and had already collected it himself.

The auction was held at the Basilica of Christ the Baptist in St. John's, the most spectacular and grandest church in all of Newfoundland, perched on top of a hill overlooking the city.

The church was built in 1855. It looks like a Romanesque church in Italy. It is made of limestone and granite as a whole, with twin spiers. The interior is luxurious and gorgeous. The 65 windows of glass are all colored, each with a classic story from the Bible.

There are exquisite reliefs on the ceiling, the color is a blend of gold, maroon and dark green, and the interior is tall and empty, full of majesty.

Qin Shiou came here for the first time, and there were already many participants waiting inside. Some priests in black robes acted as service staff, guiding some interested people to visit, and some were providing hot drinks and snacks.

After Auerbach appeared, an old pastor in his 70s and 80s greeted him. He said, "God bless you." How long have you not seen each other?"

"Five years?" Auerbach smiled, pulled out Qin Shiou affectionately, and said, "This is Bishop Cabot Saranah, a devout servant of God and brother and father of believers, a good man. "

Qin Shiou was in awe and bowed to Cabot.

Cabot looked at Qin Shiou carefully, and said, "You are, oh, God, I guessed right, you are the descendant of Ade, right?"

Qin Shiou guessed that Ade was his second grandfather Qin Hongde, so he nodded and said, "Yes, bishop, I am the grandson of Mr. Qin Hongde."

Cabot stepped forward to hold his face with both hands and looked carefully, and sighed: "Actually, you are very similar, you are really similar, I didn't recognize it at first sight! I am old and my memory is fading. When I first met Ade, he was a big boy like you."

Qin Shiou smiled awkwardly, he is almost middle-aged, why is he still called a big boy? But the old man in front of him is in his 70s or 80s, and it's okay for people to say that he is a big boy. (To be continued..)
