Golden Fishery

Vol 2 Chapter 727: . A Smile and Enmity (7/10)

  According to the plan, the fishermen stayed on Ice and Fire Island for three days before they were ready to leave.

  In these three days, the fishermen had suffered enough, because almost everything was lacking on the island. They wanted to drink a cold beer, so they had to sail to the opposite side of the ocean.

  This is also the biggest dilemma that the island is currently encountering. They need to take a ferry to go outside the island to buy living supplies. Everything is too troublesome. The bigger trouble lies with the government. In order to maintain the normal life of the residents in the small town, the government has to arrange two ferry trips a day.

  The ship is burning with oil!

  For the old gentlemen and old ladies in the town, these three days are not bad. They like the excitement. The arrival of the fishery owners and the media has restored a lot of vitality to the long-dead town.

  The townspeople welcome the media more. They have been talking with reporters these days, telling them about their difficulties, hoping that the media can help them.

At the final farewell, Wright also pulled the reporter from the Ottawa Maple Leafs and said: "We don't actually want to leave here. In your opinion, it is very shabby, but for our old guys, this is hometown! This is it! The water and fish from the broken islands feed us!"

"We don't need to enjoy anything. Look, we can reach the steps of heaven when we **** our heels. What else should the 70-80-year-old guy covet? As long as the basic necessities of life are bread, fresh water, and electricity, We are willing to live here."

  Listening to the sad and helpless words of the old people, the fishery owners lowered their heads in silence. At this point, they could not help the old people.

What Qin Shiou can do is to invite Mayor Pali to bid farewell to the island as a guest to see if he can find inspiration to improve the current situation of the town.

  When they are ready to board the ship. Old Williams ran up, carrying a hiking bag on his back and beckoning and shouting: "Hey, guys. Don't hurry. Look, we made you some small gifts. I don't know if you like it."

  Open the climbing bag. Inside is a delicate dagger.

  The longest of these daggers is 25 or 6 cm, and the short is only 5 or 6 cm. The handle is carefully wrapped with a cyan nylon rope and transparent fishing line, and the scabbard is made of flexible shark skin.

  The dagger Qin Shiou got was fifteen centimeters long. After he pulled it out, it had a sharp blade with a pattern-like blood groove, but it had a peculiar texture. It's like a piece of bone.

  "This is?" Qin Shiou guessed, "Is this the teeth of a Greenland shark?"

   "Yes." Old Williams smiled excitedly, "Remember the Greenland shark head we caught from the sea? We captured another one, and then took their teeth to polish the dagger."

Old Wright also smiled and said: "Maybe the texture is not very good, but this is a specialty of our town, and it is a technique learned from the Inuit. It has been roasted with cooked oil during the polishing process, so the toughness is actually very good. "

  Sergi received the longest dagger, and the Indians liked it, so the old fishermen gave him the best one.

Stroking the dagger, Serge showed a faint throbbing on his face, then gritted his teeth and said: "Old folks, we all understand the plight of your town. If you are not demanding, then I will go back and prepare. Invest in a casino in town! I thought of when you were in the business of gamblers. You could make a little money!"

  Both Canada and the United States can’t help but gamble. However, the government is aware of the dangers of gambling, so it is stipulated that casinos cannot be set up in places where the population density exceeds the number of places. Large casinos are generally located in remote places.

  For example, the world-famous Las Vegas, which is located in a desert. But gamblers don't care about this. What they want is just a place where you can gamble, even if the journey is as difficult as the west. Gamblers can also be there.

  Qin Shiou looked at Serge and felt good about him. In fact, these fishermen were not as hateful as he thought. They were also humans, but they had accumulated too many contradictions with traditional fishermen, which made him full of pertinence.

   Buck took off his sunglasses and said, “I am in a catering business. Later I will set up a small bakery on the island, so that everyone eats fresh bread and doesn’t need to travel so far.”

Owners of holiday fishing farms have their own main business, and it is easy to help the town. For example, Buck builds a bakery by sending a baker to bring a stove. Some houses have a compensation of tens of thousands of dollars a year. It has no effect.

   But they did do good things, which is worthy of admiration.

  Instead, the traditional fishermen cannot help the town. They are actually fishermen.

At the last moment, the assistance of Serge and others to the town eased the relationship between the two groups of fishermen. The reason why Andrew and others hated these holiday fishermen was not only because they did not build fishing grounds, but also because of their hatred of the rich. Inside.

  Why hate the rich? Because traditional fishermen believe that these rich men are rich and unkind, and are outright villains!

  But what happened later proved not to be the case. Both of them just had some misunderstandings.

  Leaving Binghuo Island, this visit is over, I had to go to some fishing grounds on the Labrador Peninsula. However, the Bureau of Marine Meteorology said that the tropical cyclone was moving northward and was already approaching the waters of Newfoundland, so for safety reasons, they decided to return.

  Unprecedented, the relationship between the fishery owners became harmonious, and Andrew even played stud with Buck and Chalk.

  This scene is gratifying, but Matthew organized the tour not to ease the relationship between them.

When he finally arrived in St. John's, he gathered all the fishermen in the restaurant on the top of the cruise ship and said, "You saw it, didn’t you guys? See what the local economy became when the fishery collapsed. You guys do it. After knowing this, you should be able to understand the determination of the Ministry of Fisheries? Whoever ruined his fishing grounds, then believe me, he will regret it!"

  The fishery owners were silent. The last time Matthew said these things, they were still unconvinced. Now they are all honest, because for some places that rely on the ocean, the collapse of the fishery is simply terrible.

  Seeing that both the traditional fishermen and the holiday fishermen are honest, Matthew-King smiled with satisfaction, and the visit should be over perfectly.

  When the cruise ship stopped at St. John’s Wharf, countless ships docked densely on the wharf. The sea was already blowing strong winds. After the tropical cyclone came to the Newfoundland waters, it became cold and began to take off, and the hurricane was about to come.

  Qin Shiou took Matthew and Parry onto the cruise boat Seagull. The boat drove halfway, and the sea breeze became stronger, and huge raindrops ‘cracked’ on the glass windows, like hail, and the power was amazing. (To be continued~^~)
