551. The sea festival begins, the fishing season begins (6/10)

Butler's seafood supply channels are spread throughout the East Coast of the United States, radiating to the Atlantic coast with New York as the core.

He controls channels and has superb social skills. Butler naturally has no bad popularity in the American circle. He has many friends in the Miami city.

Qin Shiou was also more happy to choose Miami as a seafood sales channel because it was Billy's home. Although their Odyssey Marine Exploration Company did a job of underwater salvage, it was all related to the ocean and they had a good relationship with seafood merchants.

Butler and Qin Shiou discussed it and first found a suitable place to settle down in Miami, and then Qin Shiou sent seafood to Miami. Butler contacted major high-end hotels and restaurants to sell.

"Although I still don't know enough about it, man, I must admit that you are a big-eyed guy. Look, the airport you built in winter is now in use, which has played a big role!" Finally, Butler praised Qin Shiou with a gaze, "Tell me man, have you planned to do this long ago?"

Qin Shiou said vaguely: "It's vaguely meaningful, but I want to sell seafood to cities such as Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, and I didn't expect to fly so far."

Butler slapped the table and shouted, "Don't tease me, brother, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal? No! How can those country places eat your seafood? The price is not enough there, your haddock and green cod prices will be placed on the same level."

Qin Shiou was speechless. In the eyes of Americans, especially New Yorkers, Canada is full of countryside.

Hearing Butler slamming the table, the tiger leopard at the door rushed in immediately. Standing beside Qin Shiou, eyeing Butler, they thought Butler and their father were challenging each other.

"Ok, OK, baby, we're talking about things. Don't look at me with such eyes?" Butler quickly moved to the sofa. Hu Zi and Leopard were about to pounce on him at any time.

Qin Shiou pulled the two little guys on the sofa and lay beside him. He said, "Then do it. Go and contact the shipping cargo plane, I organize my fishermen to start working. Let us conquer the East Coast of the United States together!"

Butler and Qin Shiou clapped their high-fives and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that WFE will only be held once every six years and will not be participated next year. Otherwise, our seafood will be shipped directly to WFE. We will definitely make a hit!"

wfe is the abbreviation of the World Fisheries Exhibition. It was founded in 1973 and is held every 6 years. After decades of development, it has become the largest and most influential commercial fishery fair in the world.

However, a biennial European Seafood Expo will be held this year, at the exhibition center in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. It lasts for three days. It is said that 1,600 manufacturers have been invited from 144 countries and regions to participate.

But Qin Shiou didn't want to go, and he also studied with the prince when he went. Europeans seemed generous and stingy, but they looked open and actually conservative. This seafood expo was held for European seafood exporters, fishing and breeding companies. It is difficult for foreign seafood to get good reviews here.

After negotiation, start work immediately and do whatever you want. To do your business, you must have such a spirit of striving.

Of course, this is just in Butler's eyes. In Qin Shiou's mind, how much seafood in the fishing ground is actually not important, he is not short of money anyway.

What attracted Qin Shiou was only a fame, a great Qin fishing ground that went to the fame of the entire North America.

More than a year ago, the silly Qin Shiou came here with a book of inheritance and inherited his grandfather's fishing ground. He still remembered what Auerbach said, saying that he could restart the glory of the Daqin Fishing Ground and bring the Daqin Fishing Ground back to life.

Now, Qin Shiou is going to do this.

When they learned that the fishing grounds began to fish on a large scale, the fishermen were excited. Yes, they were employed by Daqin Fishery to get wages, but according to the rules of the fishing grounds, they would have dividends as long as they started producing fishing catches.

The fishermen have already understood Qin Shiou's generousness deeply. They also know the fishing catch in the fishing ground. Combining these things, it is not a problem to get tens of thousands of yuan a month to pay dividends!

Qin Shiou thought it would be enough to drive the harvest number out for fishing, but the fishermen began to prepare things, including all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, fruits, bonfires, and tables in pots, which looked like they were going to have a meal, not like going to sea.

Shaq explained to him: "Before the fishing season starts, sea festivals are held, because Canadian fishing grounds are taken over from the Indians, and some Indian customs are passed down."

After understanding, Qin Shiou laughed silently. He thought Canadians value science, but in fact it was the same all over the world, and there were always superstitions left.

Seeing Qin Shiou's disapproval, Shaq said seriously: "No, boss, we are not superstitious, but expressing our respect and awe of the ocean. Also, 'God governs the sky and the earth, and the ocean and the underworld are still blank', the Bible will not be wrong."

Shaq is right. The mysterious temper of the ocean is what fishermen fear the most. It is always good to maintain awe of it.

The sea festival is also called the fishing festival, which is inherited from the Indian Bivosuks of Newfoundland, which are the Red Indians in the United States. Among their tribes, the fishing festival is a grand ceremony second only to the harvest festival.

According to the customs of the Red Indians, fishing activities are often held after weddings and funerals, and later developed into a sea festival that started fishing activities, and the harvest festival represented the end of the fishing activities. It is said that after the British landed in Newfoundland, the Red Indians sincerely invited them to participate in these festivals many times.

This is a bit ironic. The British exterminated this indigenous nation, but inherited some customs of others.

Shaq told Qin Shiou about the process of the sea sacrifice. It was actually very simple, and it was no longer as complicated and serious as the Red Indians.

In the past, when the Red Indians held sea festivals, they first built continuous tents at the entrance to the sea, and the whole tribe had to migrate. Then they picked up large stones near the coast to make an altar. The priest carefully placed the sacrifices and fishing tools on the altar, worshiped the sea god and recited prayers.

After completing the sea sacrifice, the patriarchs of the Bivosuk people will accept the priest's orders and organize their equipment to find fishing grounds for fishing.

They want to survive overseas for three days and two nights, prohibit women from boarding the boat, prohibit food from eating from land, carry only fishing tools and fresh water on boarding, and then eat sashimi on the sea, and finally bring back the harvest of aquatic products.

Sea monsters, smoke guns and bulls led people to carry the wooden table onto the Harvest Deck, bonfires were lit on the beach, and offerings such as cod, lobsters, queen crabs in the brazier were placed on the wooden table, and the Harvest Departures were set out.
