The brutal ten-game update has begun. Everyone is ready, and then if you have monthly tickets, please vote. Hehe, thank you!&&&&
Canada is an immigrant country. The people do not attach much importance to national sovereignty and have a strong sense of belonging to the country. This can be seen from their willingness to accept the nominal rule of the British royal family.
Britain was the most concerned and serious in the rule of India at that time. As a result, as soon as the Indians had the opportunity to be independent, they immediately demanded complete independence and separated everything in British politics from India.
Canada does not have this problem because the people have an indifferent attitude, and they value homesickness more.
British BBC Radio once launched a large-scale public survey in Canada and found that in the hearts of Canadians, family status is the first, community is followed by provinces and cities, and finally it is the country's turn.
The fact that sacrificing your family for the country is a bit far away for Canadians, so Canada's performance during World War II would be so sluggish. If it weren't for the fall of the British mainland, they wouldn't want to refer to it.
The Germans rule the world? Oh, let him rule. Can't we eat bread and cod if the Germans rule?
If Newfoundlanders meet foreigners who introduce to the outside world, they will say they are Newfoundlanders and rarely say they are Canadians.
For rural towns like bid farewell to towns, their sense of identity with the country is even lower. The town celebration day is even more solemn than the National Day, which is why.
At 5:30 on Saturday morning, the town celebration officially began, and the town government prepared sixteen cannons. Unified is the old-fashioned mortar of the 16th and 7th century, installed on fishing boats.
The Harvest made a big splash in the Gulf of St. Lawrence some time ago and got the opportunity to carry a turret. A total of four cannons were installed on the left side of the ship. In the early morning, the bow of the fishing boat was aimed at the east, while the cannons were aimed at the northern waters.
Four fishing boats lined up in a row at the dock, and a rising sun slowly rose from the sea, and the orange-red light shone on the sea, showing a warm color.
On the Harvest, Nelson, Bird, Shaq and the Sea Monster controlled a cannon. After Hamley issued the information on the intercom, Qin Shiou asked them to ignite the lead and fire the cannon!
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
After a muffled sound, the bronze cannon of the mortar trembled. The Hunting Roller of the huge recoil belt floated four or five meters behind. The shells shot out, leaving behind colorful smoke belts in the air, making the sea surface colorful.
Each ship had four cannons, each of which fired four colored shells, a total of sixty-four cannons.
Domestic tourists staying on the docks and chatted with a smile, saying that the number four most taboo during festivals in China is to say goodbye to the town, and the beginning is four fours.
The salute shells used in this celebration are all specially made. The main material is white phosphorus. After the shells are shot out, they will immediately burn and release the colored pigments inside.
The shells glided all the way in the air. What was left was a rainbow-like colorful arc. These colorful smoke would stay in the air for more than a day, as long as the sea breeze was not too strong, I would feel that there was a rainbow hanging on the pier for a long time.
After the cannons are set off, four fishing ships are open to tourists. If you pay 50 yuan, you can board the boat and go to sea for a distance to fish. The catch will be divided into the tourists.
This made a group of tourists feel good. Five hundred Canadian dollars is 2,500 yuan. They planned to go to sea, and the catch is more than 2,500 yuan, right? They signed up to board the boat.
Qin Shiou was so happy that the tourists were too naive. This kind of trip to the sea was just a coping method and came back from the nearshore. At most, how much can you catch in one or two hours? It must be difficult to get a profit, but you can enjoy it.
The town celebration officially begins, and there is nothing special. There are generally three steps: one is to eat and drink, eat and drink enough; the other is to participate in activities and watch performances; the third is to set off fireworks by Chenbao Lake in the evening to enjoy a bonfire dinner.
Because the celebrations were held early and many people were hungry, the residents of the town would prepare breakfast and bring them to the streets of the town. The women would carry baskets with food and drinks in them, and they could get them by saying hello.
Winnie made small meals such as fried egg pancakes, fried dumplings, and baked biscuits. Some tourists went up to say hello to her, and she gave her one.
However, tourists often come to her not to ask her for food, but to take photos with her.
Today, Winnie is wearing a traditional British aristocratic long skirt, the kind of whale bone skirt that brought the heroine Elizabeth Swanler to faint in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1". She wore a lady's big-brimmed hat on her head, looking charming.
The dress of the townspeople in the 16th and 7th century, with traditional and gorgeous clothes, which is also a landscape.
A stage was set up in the middle of the streets of the town. Hamley invited a famous DJ band from St. Johns. Several young men with tattoos and weird hair were singing wildly on the stage with their guitars, leading the surrounding audience to howl.
In order to facilitate unified allocation and prevent excessive crowding of people, the town government temporarily rented and installed a Motorola intercom system base station in the town. The vendors in the town all had intercoms to communicate with each other.
Qin Shiou found a barbecue stall and ordered roasted foie gras. He didn't understand that this thing could be roasted. Europeans are really amazing.
The boss of the barbecue stall put two pieces for him, cut them into slices and fry them briefly with oil, and then grilled them. There were four pieces in total, one for 15 yuan, just like robbing money.
Qin Shiou curled his lips and thought it was expensive. The boss said proudly: "Is this expensive? Dear Qin, this is French-style barbecue. If it weren't for me, you would have to go to France!"
"Damn, so tall?"
"That's right."
"Boss, how much does it cost to have a skewer of grilled foie gras?" a tourist asked.
"Ten yuan, if you don't have an invoice, you'll be one dollar cheaper."
Qin Shiou was furious when he heard this and shouted, "Isn't it fifteen?"
The boss Danding said, "No need to be excited. Dear Qin, I just learned a word from your compatriots, called killing the rich and helping the poor..."
"Shit, you profiteers!"
It was just a small episode. When Qin Shiou finally paid the bill, the boss charged him a total of 15 yuan, and even shook his eyes and said, "That bunch is for you to eat."
There is a parking lot at the entrance of the Hughes convenience store, and the cars have been removed, and there are inflatable water skateboards on the open space. A group of children aged five, six, seven or eight are playing there crazy.
As the weather was getting warmer at noon, more and more activities were happening. Because the town raised many puppies such as Labradors and Newfoundlands, a dog race was held.
The competition is very simple, it is to see whose dog runs fast and jumps far, and there are prizes to win, towels, bath towels, swimsuits and other small things.
Qin Shiou sent Hu Zi and Leopard up there. Now he was happy to win. Who could run away from Hu Zi and Leopard? The two little guys won him a bunch of towels and bath towels. I don’t have to buy this thing again this year.
Qin Shiou was taking Hu Zi and Leopard to kill everyone, and the walkie-talkie suddenly rang out: "Boss, come to Gatori Fishery, something is damn happening." (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
