718. Ice and Fire Island

Qin Shiou didn't buy much, only 100,000 yuan. He caught Shanghai trout for half an hour, but only one million yuan. Last time he took away two million yuan without doing anything.

But the impact this time is different from the last time, because Andrew and others bought him and lost, but this time bought him and won, and he made money with him!

The fishing owners didn't buy much. Andrew bought 20,000 yuan, Donald bought 25,000 yuan, and the most was the man with Luffy printed on the T-shirt. He bought 40,000 yuan, and finally got 400,000 yuan.

"Why are you so confident in me?" Qin Shiou said to the man in emotion.

The man said: "When the St. Lawrence Bay storm was storm, my sister and her family were on the boat. If you saved them, of course I want to buy you and win!"

Qin Shiou said in surprise: "Then why didn't you buy me and win last time?"

He remembered clearly that Hubble and Matthew bought him and won the last time.

"Last time you were looking for abuse, who would have expected that those two unlucky guys would not be able to touch sea bass along the way?! I support you, but I can't follow you to seek death!"

This is the Canadian thinking. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. Friendship can interfere with business, but it has its limits.

For example, in the last bet, Luffin felt that Qin Shiou would definitely lose. Although he had a good impression of Qin Shiou, he still bet on him to lose. This time, Qin Shiou had the possibility of winning. Although the winning rate was low, under the influence of emotional factors, he was willing to support Qin Shiou.

Serge called the secretary with a nasty face to transfer money. The fishing yard owners who received the money cheered and were very excited.

Nicholas came up to congratulate Qin Shiou on his victory, and then wondered how he caught sea trout so quickly.

This is unscientific. Sea trout will hide on the seabed during the day, and when you are hungry, go to the sandy layer of the seabed to find the seabed to eat. It will only surface at night to find food, so the correct time to catch sea trout is at night.

Qin Shiou was naturally full of rashness. Starting from his ancestors, he took out the theory that the bald boss taught him to find a toad crab yesterday. Anyway, he bragged wildly from the perspective of idealism.

Nicholas was fooled and stunned. Qin Shiou finally patted his shoulder and said, "Let me go back and I will give you a secret book called "Tao Te Ching". As long as you study it thoroughly, you will be fine if you fish for the king of squid in the deep sea!"

"Thank you, Qin. Why are you so kind to me?" Nicholas said.

Qin Shiou sighed and said, "Fate, there is a friend in my fishing ground named Nicholas, but he is dancing. Your names are the same, which makes me feel good."

Nicholas is quite arrogant, but like most athletes, he is relatively easy to interact with. If you are awesome, I respect you and are willing to be friends with you.

So he quickly changed the house and ran to the traditional fishing owner. Anyway, he and Charco and his group were not familiar with each other.

Qin Shiou felt embarrassed like this. He just teased him about the Fourth Master of Nicholas Turtle. Isn't that good?

Hubble also moved to their camp and came to congratulate Qin Shiou. Qin Shiou asked him how much money he made. Hubble laughed and said, "I misunderstood this time and I lost 50,000 yuan..."

"If you buy it, I will lose?" Qin Shiou thought this guy was really interesting. His ideas were very different.

"No, I bought it for an hour to catch fish."

"It's understandable. You don't trust me enough. You sympathize with you, but fortunately, it's not much more than 50,000."

"No, the value of the 50,000 yuan is just considered to have paid the tuition fee. I know more about you and have more confidence in many things." Hubble smiled, as if he had made money.

The purpose of this time is to Cape St. Charles, from St. Lawrence northward, turn northeast along the Cabila Strait, and cross the long river to reach the port city.

Newfoundland is a large island, except for St. Johns, almost all other large cities are harbours.

At the northern end of Cape St. Charles, about forty kilometers away from the landing, there is a small island, which is similar to the farewell island and is called "Ice and Fire Island".

When Qin Shiou heard this name, he was so happy. Isn’t this a famous island written by Mr. Jin Yong? The Canadians’ naming is really interesting and poetic.

What’s even more interesting is that the reason why this island is called Ice and Fire Island is the same as that of Mr. Jin Yong. This island is located in the Arctic zone, and ice cubes float past the sea all year round. There is an extinct volcano on the island, and the name Ice and Fire has come from now on.

The area of ​​Ice and Fire Island is smaller than that of Farewell Island, only more than ten kilometers long and more than five kilometers wide. It is a mini island on the North Atlantic Ocean and is almost impossible to find on the map.

This small island is similar to many places in the Farewell Island. There is also a small town called Kabila Town, which is obviously affected by the Kabila Strait not far away.

The person in charge of welcoming the group was the town mayor Parilak, a white Aryan man in his forties.

Canada did not have the habit of letting the local government entertain lunch. Qin Shiou and others solved it themselves. The boat was equipped with a chef. He told him what dishes he wanted to eat, and as long as he could do it, it would meet the needs of the fishing owners.

Parilak ate with them, eating the chef's roasted rosemary lamb chops and Brazilian-style chicken salad. The mayor's eating them was full of joy.

From this detail, Qin Shiou knew that the mayor would not live a good life in his daily life. He said that the mayor was drunk even if he did his job.

During the meal, Parry introduced them to him that Kabila town is the smallest town in the entire Newfoundland and Labrador provinces, with a permanent population of about 200.

The smallest in Kabila town is not only reflected in its population, but also in its age.

The town was less than fifty years old, and it was the time of fishery development in the 1960s and 1970s. Because the island is rich in fishery resources, many fishing boats from Canada, the United States and Greenland arrived, which gave birth to a series of service industries and thus established the town.

At that time, the town was very prosperous, with a permanent population of more than 5,000. This is not small in Newfoundland, which is vast and sparsely populated. How many people in St. Johns were there at that time? It was only a little over 80,000.

However, after the town was established, a few years later, the fishery resources became withered under the crazy development, and the town immediately declined.

The geographical location of Ice and Fire Island is actually very superior. To the south is the Newfoundland fishing ground and to the north is the Greenland fishing ground.

Greenland fishery is not as famous as Newfoundland fishery, but it is also a large fishery. The variety and quality of cold-water fish are among the top in the world.

Unfortunately, everything is beyond the terrible trawls and seines. In the face of mechanized fishing and sonar fish detectors, both shallow and deep sea fish have been subjected to extinction fishing.

"At the most, at the port of this small island, there were two thousand fishing boats coming in and out!" Parry shook his head repeatedly as he said this.

Qin Shiou couldn't help asking: "Did the municipal government and the fishery department not provide a plan at that time?"

Pari said helplessly: "Yes, but everyone was crazy at that time and thought the catch here was endless. Who would still manage the fishing policy? Big fish, small fish and even seals refused to let go! As a result, slowly, everyone found that they were fishing less and less. Finally one day, someone went out to sea to catch fish. Only then did we realize that there was trouble, but it was too late." (To be continued...)
