1813. Winter Fishing Day (3/5, Happy Lantern Festival again)

"Do you have to buy Lantern Festival yourself?" Sister Qin asked with a smile when she saw what Qin Shiou had picked up.

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "You guys go to have a nap first, fly over and almost half of the earth. Are you not tired?"

Xiaohui, who was playing with Powell and others, turned around and rushed to say, "I'm not tired, the bed on the plane is big and comfortable. Just like at home, I just can't run around casually."

Qin Shiou asked Sister Qin that there was a bed when she flew over this time? Sister Qin nodded and said, "Don't you know the flight ticket you booked yourself?" He really didn't know that the air ticket was booked by Yuntong customer service. It seems that the one who booked it was a VIP cabin.

This way there are more people and work faster, but it is quite troublesome.

The peanuts he bought were raw peanuts, so he had to stir-fry them first. This was simple. He asked the steady Powell to do this job. He poured dry fine sand into the pot, stir-fry the fine sand, put the peanuts and the skin into the pot and started stir-frying. After stirring for a while, it would be cooked.

There is a grinder in the fishing ground. After frying the peanuts, peel them and put them in to grind them. Others such as black sesame seeds are also treated. After putting them in, coarse peanut powder and coarse sesame powder will soon come out.

The more troublesome thing is the Yuanxiao peel. Adding water to the glutinous rice flour is enough. Qin Shiou has never made it before, but the water added several times is either more or less. In the end, Qin's mother dealt with it. After adding appropriate water, stirred it and divided it into several pieces. Sister Qin, brother-in-law and others started rolling the peel.

Shirley also wanted to roll the dough, so Qin Shiou asked her to take Michelle, Weiss and Xiaohui to prepare the filling. There are many kinds of Lantern Festival stuffing, peanuts and sesame seeds are ready, and fruit stuffing can also be used. There are strawberries, pears and apples in the fishing grounds. These can be used to make Lantern Festival stuffing.

In addition, he also planned to pack some chocolate stuffing. He bought a lot of chocolates in the supermarket. He heated it and mixed it with butter, and mixed it with a little glutinous rice flour. When it dried up, it was enough to wrap it in.

In this way, after putting the butter and chocolate will melt after putting it in the pot, but if the glutinous rice flour is mixed, their fluidity will not be very strong. You can eat it until the lantern crust is cooked thoroughly.

The coarse peanut powder and coarse sesame powder are mixed with white sugar. When mixing, Qin Shiou added maple syrup and butter. In theory, lard should be added, but Canadians do not eat lard, and there is no lard in supermarkets. Of course, using butter does not affect the taste.

The whole family happily wrapped the dumplings, some people rolled the dough, some people stirred the stuffing, and some people wrapped the dumplings. In one or two hours, a large pile of dumplings of large and small were wrapped.

If you eat it for your own family, you don’t care about the appearance, so it doesn’t matter if you can eat it.

Melon was busy with work, her little head was covered with tiny beads of sweat. She could do nothing but had to do anything. Winnie could only chase her and wipe her sweat. She was unwilling to do so. She pushed Winnie's hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "Melon is a big child, you don't have to wipe her sweat!"

She wiped the sweat beads on her face with her little hands. But the flour on her hands quickly turned into a small flowery face.

Dinner is dumplings, and Qin Shiou prepared them in batches. After the first pot was released, he asked his parents and sisters to eat it first. Qin's father put four dumplings in a bowl. He walked to the door and bowed to the south and east, and sighed: "I'll pay my respects to God and your grandfathers first. Especially your second master, we have to thank him. If he hadn't left you such a big foundation, you would still be working in your hometown in a hard time."

After worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth, we finally had a meal. Qin Shiou tasted a dumpling, which was filled with peanut and sesame. Because of the maple syrup, it was sweet and fragrant. However, the glutinous rice flour was not smooth enough and it became a bit hard in the mouth. This was considered a lack of beauty.

Fortunately, the children were having fun eating and the melons were especially delicious. I guess she felt that these dumplings were also worthy of her, and the food she made by herself was always the best.

After eating and drinking, the family reunited in the living room to watch TV and chat. Qin Shiou and his sister and brother-in-law talked about the domestic hotel business and reservoir breeding. As he expected, the fish and shrimp in the reservoir grew very well, and the meat quality was outstanding, and the hotel business naturally rose.

The locations of the stations are different, and the things you see are also different. Sister Qin and her brother-in-law usually start to pay attention to the domestic economy and international economy. During the chat, they suggested that Qin Shiou could transfer part of the fishing ground business to the domestic market.

"The international economy is relatively sluggish now, and you can enter the country to divide the pressure. The domestic economic situation is not very good, but it should be better than Canada. Moreover, the people are rich now, so pay special attention to food safety. The deep-sea fish you have here will definitely have a large market for selling back to China. Starting from the front-line Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, I think it's a big deal." Sister Qin said while drinking tea.

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Okay, after you go back, you can register a company and do international aquatic products trade. Our Fisheries Alliance also has plans to open up the East Asian market. At that time, I will hand over the domestic operating rights to you and find some professional management personnel. This industry is really worthwhile."

When the bird gun was replaced, Sister Qin and her brother-in-law understood this. They were energetic and began to discuss how to recruit soldiers after they went back. If they succeeded in cooperation with the Fisheries Alliance, their wealth and status would soar, which would be a huge difference from the current hotel owner!

After two days of rest, Sister Qin and her brother-in-law then went to St. Johns for a walk. There was no suitable tourist place in Canada in winter, so it was good to go to the Rockies to enjoy the snow, but the distance was too far, and Winnie was pregnant, Qin Shiou couldn't walk away, so no one accompanied them and was worried that something would happen. This idea could only be given up.

Seeing that they wanted to go out for fun, Qin Shiou found a project for them to go out for winter fishing.

This winter fishing is not just a simple fishing, but a stay at sea for two or three days. Sister Qin and her brother-in-law are not interested in this and said that fishing is nothing new every time they come here and want to change activities.

Qin Shiou explained: "It's different. This time I'm not just fishing, but also the winter sea view of monks spending the night on the sea. Anyway, listen to me, I'll take you to see the sea you've never seen before."

In most people's consciousness, the ocean breeze in winter is fluttering and the waves are rolling. In fact, this is not the case. Once there is wind in the ocean in winter, it is easy to experience storms. But if there is no wind, it will become particularly quiet, like an inland lake, without waves, and endless, with a unique feeling.

Qin Shiou brought his parents with him, and Qin's father asked anxiously: "Can so many people live on the boat?"

There were indeed many people, and almost the whole family was dispatched. Except for the pregnant Winnie who stayed in the villa, Weiss returned to Chicago to reunite with her parents, and others, including Powell and Shirley, were dispatched.
