Happy Tycoon

St. John's, located on the Avalon Peninsula in the eastern part of Newfoundland, is the capital and largest city of Newfoundland, Canada. At the same time, this city is also the easternmost city in North America.

Because of the importance of geographical location, since the 17th century, the British and French have made the brains of the people of this city, and the pirates also come to join in the fun from time to time, and the city is lonely overseas. Soldiers, merchants, local aboriginals, adventurers, pirates, and sailors have been mixed for a long time. Slowly, the city has acquired a fierce, fierce, and rugged style. It's because the residents here fight against the sea, people, and weather all the year round, so they develop a desperate spirit.

Although the people here are rebellious, fierce and rugged, and even daring to work hard, if you come here with a friendly attitude, then you will be welcomed by the city, otherwise, you will struggle in this city.

This is a city mixed with various styles and spirits, but at the same time it is also a city with beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery and the food that you never get bored with is the biggest feature of this city.

The huge Blue Whale anchored on the sea about three kilometers from the exit of the Gulf of Newfoundland, and then out of the more than a dozen crew members left on board, the remaining 26 people all boarded the ship’s own large assault Boat.

This assault boat is made of Hypalon material. The price of a single boat is more than US$50,000, and one boat can carry 14 people. The Blue Whale is equipped with a total of two such assault boats, and 26 people can just take them all at once.

After getting on the life jacket, Yang Jing and the others got on the assault boat, and then rushed towards St. Johns Bay, which is three kilometers away.

When approaching St. Johns Bay, you can clearly see that the entrance to the bay is about 300 meters wide. The mountains at the north and south corners guard this not-so-wide bay like two door gods.

St. Johns Bay is actually the mouth of a small river called the Waterford River. As a result of crustal movement, the Watford River, which is less than 20 kilometers in length and less than 10 meters in width, formed a bay with a width of about 500 meters and a depth of nearly three kilometers at the mouth of the sea. An excellent haven.

No wonder the French and the British fought for this city. Such a good natural harbor is enough for those greedy colonists to fight desperately.

When Newfoundland fishing grounds were not banned, St. John's was a famous fishing port throughout North America and the world. At its peak, the fish caught from this city accounted for 3% of the global fish catch.

This is a pretty terrifying number. There are countless seaside ports in the world, but this port city with a resident population of less than 200,000, can account for one-thirtieth of the world’s catch in a year at its peak. This can only be described as magic. This city is gone.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of Newfoundland’s fishing grounds, this once-broadly beautiful city has now fallen into silence. There are almost no fishing boats in the tight St. Johns Bay, which was originally congested by many fishing boats.

Once the air here was full of pungent fishy smell, now only the faint smell of sea water is left.

When the two assault boats sail into St. Johns Bay, you can see the Signal Mountain National Historical Memorial Park on the north shore of the bay from a distance. The Cabot Tower in the park echoes the Fort Amherst Lighthouse in the south corner. Guide the way home for the voyagers.

After entering the bay area, the two assault boats did not reach the end of the bay, but after driving less than 1.5 kilometers forward, they began to dock northward and stopped at a pier on the north shore of the bay.

This wharf is a private wharf, not big, only six small berths. The wharf belongs to a Canadian-style restaurant called "Aunt Mary" on the north shore of the bay. This restaurant is very famous in St. John's and is famous throughout St. John's for authentic Canadian seafood dishes.

When Grid came to St. John's that year, it was the seafood dinner at this Aunt Mary’s restaurant. That meal made Grid miss for six full years...

While on the ship, Grid booked a table in Aunt Mary’s Restaurant via satellite phone. After Yang Jing and the others walked from the assault boat to the dock, they saw a fat aunt weighing more than two hundred catties standing at the entrance of the restaurant waiting for them from a distance.

"Hey, Aunt Mary, do you remember me? That little girl from the East?" After seeing this full tonnage aunt, Grid smiled and greeted her.

"Wow, I didn’t expect to see you again, my dear Sophia Bai. Of course I still remember you, how could Aunt Mary not remember you, a beautiful oriental girl like you? Sophia, welcome to Aunt Mary’s restaurant again , I have prepared the freshest and most delicious seafood for you, and I promise you will like it."

This Aunt Mary’s memory made Yang Jing a little surprised. He really didn’t expect that Grid just had a meal here six years ago. In the morning, she only contacted by phone. This Aunt Mary was still able to Remember Grid.

Grid smiled and said, "Aunt Mary doesn't mean the aunt in front of her. Although she is also called Aunt Mary, the real Aunt Mary is her grandmother. This restaurant has a history of more than 60 years. It is very famous. After the death of Aunt Mary’s grandmother, her mother became a new generation of Aunt Mary. Now, she is Aunt Mary. When I came last time, it was this Aunt Mary who received me. That time I left. At that time, she left her a set of our domestic porcelain Fuwa souvenirs. So when I mentioned it on the phone this morning, Aunt Mary immediately thought of me."

Yang Jing smiled and nodded. This is the case in European and American countries. A store can easily pass on for decades or even hundreds of years.

The area of ​​this restaurant is not small, it is a three-story building. After Yang Jing and their 26 people entered the restaurant, they were immediately greeted on the second floor. Aunt Mary was obviously already seated and fully prepared, and a special area was opened for them on the second floor.

Yang Jing and the others came a bit early, not yet normal meals. But Aunt Mary was already ready, and as soon as Yang Jing and the others sat down, all kinds of seafood were quickly brought up.

It is no wonder that Aunt Mary is so passionate. Although her restaurant is well-known in St. Johns, the current St. Johns is not the St. Johns of half a century ago. The ban on fishing in Newfoundland’s fishing grounds quickly declined the city, and the cost of living in the city was not high.

Although she usually has a lot of people here to eat, the consumption level is not high, and the average person is only tens of Canadian dollars. After all, her restaurant is not a Michelin-starred restaurant.

But Yang Jing invited the crew to have a seafood feast this time, and the cost was high.

In Grid’s words, she ordered meals at the standard of five hundred dollars per capita. Five hundred dollars per capita is enough for a meal in a three-Michelin star restaurant in New York. This kind of consumption, placed in this very ordinary restaurant, is sky-high consumption.

Although Newfoundland fishing grounds are banned, locals can still get a certain amount of fish from the Newfoundland waters. After all, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to drink water, if even the locals are not allowed to fish, what do you let these people eat?

Of course, the restrictions on this kind of fishing are also very strict, both in quantity and in other aspects, there are strict restrictions.

As a long-established seafood restaurant, Aunt Mary’s restaurant naturally has its own channels to get the freshest fish, so the seafood that Yang Jing and the others eat today is extremely fresh. Many seafoods are even alive before they are cooked...

There are enough pipes for seafood and enough for wine. Although it is not a top-notch wine, what this kind of dinner is more about is an atmosphere.

These crew members now have a better attitude towards the Yang Jing couple. The night before yesterday, they served them with Australian Wagyu beef and other top ingredients. They were invited to have a seafood dinner tonight. Which crew member would not like it?

This group of crew members are actually quite hard. Where did they receive such treatment when they went to sea before? In the past, when they went to sea to perform missions, they could only eat what was stored on the ship. When they were supplied, they could only eat what they wanted to choose? Pick it up slowly when you get home and go ashore! You are not allowed to be picky eaters on board.

It’s good now, even if it’s on the boat to eat the ingredients stored on the boat, it’s a treat, not to mention that it’s even possible to have a seafood feast on the shore. This kind of thing is definitely something that these crew members never even thought about before going to sea.

It is really the most comfortable thing to follow the rich boss to go to sea~www.readwn.com~.

Just like eating in the restaurant on the ship the night before, this seafood dinner tonight is also very delicious.

During the period, Aunt Mary also sent a bucket of ice wine made by herself, which tasted very good.

This ice wine is made from a locally grown grape, but when it is brewed, this grape must be frosted before it can be used for winemaking. It is best to suddenly come to a cold current and freeze the grapes. Brew it after a while and it will taste even better.

In any case, although the meal cost Yang Jing almost 20,000 U.S. dollars, the effect and atmosphere were excellent, and at least Grid was in a better mood.

Isn’t it just spending money to come out to play? Why don't you come out to play without spending money?

The meal was over for more than four hours. Of course, Yang Jing did not forget the crew and chief mate on duty. Packs of packaged seafood filled half of the assault boat.

Back on the boat, these seafood are enough for the guys on duty to eat a rather hilarious supper...
