Golden Fishery

Now farewell to the fishing grounds on the island, the resources are exhausted, and only the Daqin fishing grounds have some vitality because of continuous investment. There are three remaining private fisheries, and now the owners have left Farewell Island for St. Johns or Toronto.

Qin Shiou had to buy the Mr. Ross fishery in the southwest of the island and the cod hometown fishery in the west as soon as possible. One of the two fisheries was separated from the Daqin Fishery and the other was now covered with giant algae forests, and the fishery resources had already begun to increase.

If the two fish farm owners were to know about this matter, it would be more troublesome for him to buy two fish farms.

As soon as he thought about it, Qin Shiou asked Hamley to help him contact Robinson Ross, the owner of Mr. Ross's fishery, to discuss the purchase of Mr. Ross's fishery.

The Ross family lives in St. Johns, and is a relatively large local family. Like Hughes' ancestors, they also fled to Newfoundland from the United States during the American Revolutionary War.

They were all from the upper-class circle of St. Johns, and Hamley easily found an opportunity for Qin Shiou.

On August 25, the Inuit people in St. Johns had a party. Robinson-Ross's wife was an Inuit, so the family would attend the party. Hamley made a phone call and helped Qin Shiou get an invitation letter, asking him to bring Winnie to the party.

It just so happened that Qin Shiou's Tang suit was still brand new, and he could wear it to the party.

When Winnie learned that she was going to attend the banquet, she took Qin Shiou to buy a dress. Many of her clothes hadn't been mailed yet, and she was staying in the United States.

Qin Shiou said: "Didn't you bring some beautiful dresses? You don't need to buy them, do you?"

Winnie laughed and said, "You're so cute, Qin, you can't wear those skirts to the Inuit summer carnival, unless you don't want to do business with Mr. Ross."

Looking at Qin Shiou, he was a little confused. Winnie straightened his collar and explained: "August 25th, this is the second most important festival for the Inuit people after the Muskrat Carnival in March. The Summer Carnival is also called the Seal Carnival."

Listen to Wei Ni's introduction. Only then did Qin Shiou understand what was going on. The Inuit lived in the bitter cold of the Arctic. Their living environment was extremely harsh and it was not easy to survive.

Two times a year are very important to them. One is March, when spring comes and the ice and snow melt. At this time they have a three-day celebration called 'Muskrat Carnival'.

The other is this day in late August, because from this time on, the seals enter the mating period, and a large number of seals come ashore to find mates. Seals are an important food for the Inuit.

They will catch seals during this time, so this carnival was born.

For the Inuit, these two festivals are particularly important, which means that they can hunt and store food to their heart's content. Both the Muskrat Carnival and the Seal Carnival represent their desire for life.

During the festival, everyone wears costumes, sings and dances, and outsiders are welcome if they want to participate, but they must wear costumes to show respect for the festival. Otherwise don't blame the Inuit for being indifferent.

Seeing Qin Shiou's stupidity, Winnie said, "You don't know the Inuit, do you?"

Qin Shiou smiled wryly, "I knew their other name was Eskimos..."

"God!" Winnie said anxiously, "this name must not be mentioned in front of the Inuit! They don't like to be called 'Eskimos'. Because this word comes from the language of their enemies, the Indian Algonquins. , which means 'people who eat raw meat', and 'Inuit' is what they call themselves, which means 'human race'."

Qin Shiou was very depressed. Eskimo was the name he learned from geography textbooks when he was in junior high school. Dare to feel that our socialist country has never respected others.

Winnie introduced many things to Qin Shiou. The Inuit are a "minority" in Canada and have many taboos. The most common of these is address, and they cannot be called 'Eskimos'.

Because they believe that "man" is the supreme representative of the kingdom of life, and the term "raw meat eater" is extremely insulting-what is the difference between this and a beast?

The ethnic composition of Canada is a very complicated issue. Leaving aside the current immigration issue, there are three types of independent indigenous peoples: First Nation Indians, Metis, and Inuit.

There are a total of 800,000 of these people, accounting for about 3% of the total population of Canada, of which 69% are First Nations, 26% are Metis, and only 5% are Inuit. Among them, the Inuit of St. Johns have less than a thousand people, which is a pocket race.

But often, the smaller the number of races, the more they value their own beliefs, culture, and traditions, and they will definitely resist fiercely once they are insulted.

This is normal. Generally, people say that a big country has a big heart. Why? When the country grows bigger, has more resources, and is stronger, it should be confident and unrestrained, and it is not a big deal to encounter any insults.

It's like people, those who are very awesome, don't care about other people's evaluations, and when big bosses occasionally encounter people and things that don't respect them outside, they just laugh it off. On the contrary, the smaller the person, the stronger the self-esteem, which is also because these people often have poor self-confidence.

So on the way, Winnie kept emphasizing to Qin Shiou that after going there, besides talking about business, don't express your opinions lightly, otherwise it will be easy to make enemies.

In the largest clothing store in St. Johns, Winnie chose a handmade cheongsam from the Longfeng cheongsam specialty store to make a gown to match Qin Shiou's Tang suit.

The cheongsam that Winnie chose was the long cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China, with a white base and embroidered with restrained and clear blue and white flowers.

The blue and white flowers of this cheongsam are not blue flowers, but a saying in Chinese ceramic art, such as Yuan blue and white, blue and white porcelain, etc. In the Canadian ceramic art circle, blue and white are also known as the national flower of China, but in fact this color is blue.

The snow-white background and the azure blue cloud patterns complement each other, full of elegant charm. The tall and slender Winnie put on this cheongsam, pulled up her black hair and inserted a milky white lotus hairpin, paired with flesh-colored crystal stockings And sky blue fish mouth high heels, can only be described as shocking.

Winnie walked out and walked around, the eyes of several men in the mall popped out, Qin Shiou kept shaking his head, Winnie frowned and said, "Isn't it good-looking? Or don't you like it?"

"No, it's unbelievable!" Qin Shiou said.

Winnie reached out and picked Qin Shiou's chin, and said with a smile: "You have a sweet mouth, and you will be rewarded when you go back."

The owner of the Longfeng Cheongsam Store is a gentle young woman with exquisite makeup. When Qin Shiou was paying the bill for Wei Ni, she kept asking Wei Ni if she was interested in taking promotional photos. It is full of praise.

Weini declined politely, and walked out of the shopping mall with Qin Shiou's arms in her arms. Along the way, regardless of gender, the rate of return was 100%.

Qin Shiou raised his head and chest, feeling very complacent, feeling more honored than driving a Porsche 918. (to be continued)
