22. The first festival

The auction was over, and Qin Shiou was not interested in staying in Ottawa and went home directly.

Little Black invited Qin Shiou to stay in Ottawa for a while and introduced some friends to him, but Qin Shiou was not interested and planned to say goodbye to the island, after all, that was his territory.

"Okay, since you insist, man, I can only wish you a good trip." Little Black said regretfully. He is about the same age as Qin Shiou, and he can talk to each other well.

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Brother, I'll say goodbye to the town when I have free time. I'll treat you to ice wine."

"Will you introduce me to a handsome guy?" Little Black joked, "Qin, to be honest, you actually drove Margarita out that night, scaring me. You don't like men, are you?"

Qin Shiou laughed and said, "If that were the case, then your chrysanthemum would have become a sunflower long ago."

As a joke, Little Black sent Qin Shiou onto the plane.

When Qin Shiou returned to the farewell town, the Presidential No. 1 he had bought before also arrived. Cadillac dealer sent it to the town. The procedures and licenses were completed, and only someone was driving it to travel around the world.

After this brand new President One arrived in the farewell town, it caused a big and small sensation.

The economy of bid farewell to the town is not optimistic, especially the several fishing grounds on the island have been closed one after another, and there are no fish to catch, and many people are unemployed at home.

When young people saw this noble and domineering super SUV, they were happy to see the hunting, and people kept taking photos around the car.

When Qin Shiou took over the car, two young men were watching the car. He said hello. The two young men were a little embarrassed and scratched their heads and wanted to leave.

As a result, Qin Shiou threw the remote control board to the two of them and smiled and said, "If you like it, then just take a walk. Guys, I think the inventory in the fuel tank is enough for you to have fun."

A figure came over and said, "Qin, you are a great guy."

Qin Shiou looked closely and found that it was the mayor William Hamley. This guy was dressed in an old British gentleman-style white suit, leather jacket and bow tie, which made people feel like he had come out of a 19th-century British movie.

"Hello, mayor." Qin Shiou shook hands with him.

Hamley looked at the car with a smile and said, "I think the price of President One must be not low."

Qin Shiou knew the elegance when she heard the string song. He smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, mayor, tomorrow I will ask Mr. Auerbach to accompany him to pay the tax and debts of the fishing grounds."

Hamre nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's easy to talk to smart people. OK, you keep playing, I'm going to stroll around the town."

"Come for a ride in my car?" Qin Shiou invited.

"Do you have a driver's license?" Hamre asked jokingly.

He just answered casually, Canada is similar to the United States, and children can get their driver's licenses when they get their ID cards.

However, Qin Shiou does not have a Canadian driver's license!

"Who will check again?" He didn't care.

In the afternoon, Auerbach came to him and discussed the issue of tax avoidance with him. Compared with the taxes to be paid for auctioning statues, taxation and other estate verifications can be ignored.

Auerbach means using the tax paid for auctioning art to offset the previous debts of the fishing ground. In addition, he found a way to apply for installment payments, so that in the future, he can use the invoice for purchasing ships and equipment in the fishing ground to offset part of the tax.

Qin Shiou didn't understand very much, and Auerbach didn't understand very well, but he was an old lawyer and knew a lot. He proposed the first case and would hire an accountant to operate it in the future.

As usual, Auerbach stayed for free. Before leaving, he said, "The day after tomorrow is your first festival to say goodbye to the town. Do you want to participate?"

“What festival?”

"Yeah, this is a big day."

Easter is indeed an important festival in the West, and it is the first Sunday after the full moon every year.

Christians believe that Easter symbolizes rebirth and hope, and is to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ the third day after the crucified.

Qin Shiou has not participated in Easter yet. He only knows Christmas on the foreign festival. In his life, he is still a young young man. He despises his peers who admire foreigners only on local festivals and fascinate foreigners.

Now he has immigrated to the farewell town and has taken over the Daqin Fishery. In this way, he will naturally communicate with the people in the town in the future, so he must integrate into their lives. There is no doubt that it is a good opportunity to celebrate the festival with the people in the town.

The next morning, Qin Shiou drove his domineering new car to the town.

Auerbach picked him up for breakfast, and Qin Shiou said: "I checked it last night. There are usually celebrations for Easter?"

"Yes, I'll take you tonight, and the town prepares a sumptuous dinner and fireworks every year."

“Generally speaking, how are the fees for these activities issued?”

"The government is responsible for half, and then the people in the town will donate half."

Qin Shiou thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm responsible for the half donated by the people in the town. How much does it cost?"

He did this to gain a good reputation for himself. According to his estimates and online inquiries, the cost of saying goodbye to the town for the entire Easter was less than 500,000, and he was responsible for at most 250,000. It is worth it to use 250,000 to gain the favor of the people in the town.

Since he had the supernatural power of the Heart of the Ocean, Qin Shiou has not taken much attention to money. There are countless treasures in the ocean, just like lost antiques like the statues of Perseus and Medusa. As long as he searches carefully, he can always find them.

He had thought about it. Even if he couldn't find it, at worst he could make a lot of money by relying on his superpowers to catch fish and turtles in the future.

So, money is not a problem for him now.

After hearing his words, Auerbach swallowed the hamburger and looked at him in surprise, then laughed and said, "No need, Qin, this is not necessary."

Qin Shiou said: "I'm very serious, man, you know, I'm very serious."

Auerbach smiled and said, "I am very grateful for your thoughts. Young man, you are as heroic and kind as Lao Qin, but at least you don't have to worry about the cost of Easter. In fact, you have bought all the things you should buy now. You can perform when you need to raise funds on other festivals in the future."

Qin Shiou thought that this was indeed the case, and Auerbach said to him again: "But you can buy some gifts, which is also great, isn't it?"

Like Christmas, Easter is a gift, and Easter gifts are related to spring and regeneration: eggs, chicks, rabbits, flowers, and especially lilies are symbols of this season.

Just like Christmas, on Easter morning, children will find that the Easter basket in front of the bed is filled with chocolate eggs, Easter bunnies, fluffy chicks and doll toys and other small things.

Of course, the gifts for each other also include adults, and even the White House holds a gift-giving event for Easter Eggs every Easter.

Qin Shiou walked out of the hamburger shop. He looked at the bare and deserted streets and had an idea in his mind.
