Golden Fishery

Auerbach brought a camera, and he filmed "Woman with a Golden Drum" from different angles, and also selected a "Morrowind in the Woods" from Pinajan's paintings, and also shot it.

"I sent it to my old friend and asked him to judge with a professional eye," Auerbach explained. "That guy is the artistic director of Ricci Auctions in Ottawa, and he said it without vision."

Qin Shiou put these paintings away and put them away. When Auerbach saw the pickup truck in the yard before leaving, he nodded and said, "It's really inconvenient to go to the town from the fishing ground. I neglected this matter. In this way, you can drive mine. Old Ford, I'll take the pickup back to Anderson."

Anderson was the name of the owner of the inn.

Hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little moved and said, "You give me the Ford, what are you driving?"

Auerbach said: "I still have a BMW 750, I will drive a BMW."

Qin Shiou: "..."

Auerbach left, Qin Shiou stayed in the small building alone and had nothing to do, so he took the vacuum cleaner and the feather blanket and prepared to clean up.

The small building is divided into two floors. The first floor has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a hall, a storage room and a kitchen. The overall area is more than 300 square meters, and the hall alone is nearly 100 square meters.

The area of ​​the second floor is slightly smaller, and it also looks like 250 to 60 square meters. There are six bedrooms distributed symmetrically. In addition, there is a cloakroom of about 20 square meters. It is very spacious and the decoration style is simple. A layer of excellent red maple board is laid, which is both moisture-proof and beautiful.

During lunch, Qin Shiou was going to change the taste. The cod in Newfoundland is very famous. He transferred his consciousness to the nearby ocean, ready to fulfill his wish when he came, and burn a cod to taste.

The beautiful Shenbao Lake gave Qin Shiou a great idea. He originally thought that the landscape of a lake is so splendid and gorgeous, and the vast underwater world should be more brilliant.

But what he saw in his consciousness disappointed him. In places within two meters of water depth, most of the seabed was white and fine sand, and the reefs could be touched every three or five minutes.

His consciousness dived further, and when he reached a depth of about four or five meters, corals appeared on the bottom of the sea.

Unlike the colorful Australian tropical corals on TV, the corals in the waters around the fishing grounds are mostly gray and lifeless.

Qin Shiou thought that this was what the coral in the cold zone looked like, and then accidentally, he also saw a small piece of coral mixed with pink and yellow.

From this piece of coral, Qin Shiou can feel the vitality, and the small coral polyps gather together to form this piece of small coral.

In this way, Qin Shiou understood that the gray-white ones were not living corals, but coral reefs composed of coral polyps corpses.

Qin Shiou's consciousness continued to move in the sea, but it couldn't move very far. The limit range was about two nautical miles from the fishing ground. In this way, the sea area he has experienced is also very impressive, but his consciousness has been searching in the sea for a long time, and he has not seen a fish!

The offshore waters of the fishing grounds are dead and the seabed environment is severely damaged, and the fish have all left here. In addition, the pollution of this sea area is also very serious, the water quality is quite bad, and the water temperature is relatively low, which is the reason why the fish escape.

When he recovered his consciousness, Qin Shiou saw a long transparent jellyfish arm floating towards him.

This jellyfish is more than forty centimeters in length and five centimeters in diameter. Its shape is like a spiral arm. The whole is well-proportioned, but the ends are slightly slender.

The body is composed of an outer wall and an inner wall, the middle is hollow, and the whole body is translucent pale white.

Qin Shiou recognized that this was a cup sponge. Although it looked large, it was actually similar in structure to coral. The latter was composed of countless small polyps, and it was composed of countless small jellyfish.

Cup jellyfish is a very common creature in the Atlantic waters. This cup sponge is composed of square deep cup jellyfish. A small jellyfish is only two millimeters in length. They usually live in groups, and thousands of small jellyfish are combined together. structure.

Seeing this cup of sponge, Qin Shiou was a little happy, because this thing can attract fish, it is called a 'small fish bunker' and can protect small fish.

As we all know, the ocean prey pyramid is that big fish eat small fish, but the cup sponge can be derived into several meters long or even dozens of meters long. For big fish, it is like a monster and dare not attack it easily.

In this way, the small fish hides in it and can get a higher chance of survival. The secretions and excrement of small fish are the food of these cups of jellyfish, and the symbiotic relationship between the two is a wonder of the ocean.

After Qin Shiou's consciousness approached the cup sponge, he found that the small cup jellyfish that made up it had a weak vitality at this time, and even a hole was broken on the outer wall of the side.

However, when the glass of jellyfish approached Qin Shiou's consciousness, his vitality slowly began to recover, and Qin Shiou felt a little tired. Immediately, he suddenly realized that his consciousness could treat or even rescue marine life.

Qin Shiou's consciousness retreated, Cup Sponge followed him, and finally floated to the pink and yellowish coral before it stopped.

At this time, the glass of jellyfish had regained their vigorous vitality, and Qin Shiou could feel the attachment and gratitude of these little things to him.

Withdrew his consciousness, Qin Shiou felt tired and extremely hungry.

The cod was not found, and Qin Shiou was too lazy to cook the carp, so he simply drove into the town and found a restaurant called 'Daddy Hickson' to eat ready-made.

The restaurant looks a bit shabby from the outside, but the inside is very clean. An old white man with a beard braided on his chin is busy cleaning, and the oak tables are polished, obviously they are old. Glued on.

"Hey, man, what would you like?" The old man asked with a smile when he saw Qin Shiou.

Just as Qin Shiou was about to speak, the old man looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly walked over and punched him lightly in the chest: "You are driving old Auerbach's car, I heard that the old guy picked up Qin's grandson Coming to town, is that you?"

It seems that his grandfather is indeed very popular. Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Yes, I am Xiao Qin, and Qin in your mouth is my grandfather."

He was looking forward to the old man giving him a discount like the innkeeper, and even better if he was invited to dinner.

As a result, the chubby old man laughed and said, "Great, child, your grandfather still owes me more than 1,000 yuan for meals. Remember to pay him off in the future."

Qin Shiou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then the old man patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "But I invited him for the first meal. I promised Qin that when his descendants came to take over the fishery, I would invite them to dinner."

The little braided old man acted resolutely. After letting him sit down, he rushed into the kitchen. Qin Shiou stared blankly at his disappearance. After a long time, he was speechless: "Master, I haven't said what to eat yet."

Four or five minutes later, a fragrant fried rice was served. On the white rice was more tender salmon meat, dotted with golden oil flowers, and pieces of golden egg cakes. In addition, the fried rice is doused with a layer of red meat sauce, which seems to make people appetizing.

Qin Shiou scooped up the meat sauce rice with a spoon and took a bite. The tender gravy accompanied the warm rice and burst into his taste buds. He gave the old man a thumbs up and said vaguely, "Great, this is what I've eaten before. The best fried rice."

Hearing his compliment, the little old man's eyes narrowed with a smile, he took out a pipe and put it in his mouth, took a breath and said, "This is my father Hickson's best spicy fried salmon. Bolognese rice, your grandfather used to like it very much, I guess you will like it too."

"The world is delicious." Qin Shiou praised.

As soon as he said the word, Father Hickson became quiet all of a sudden. He looked at Qin Shiou carefully, and there was a faint mist floating in his eyes.

Qin Shiou didn't know what was going on, but Father Hickson looked at it for a long time and said softly, "Young man, when your grandfather ate this fried rice for the first time, he also used this word, 'the world's deliciousness', when my father was still managing it. This restaurant. In the blink of an eye, it's been years."

Father Hickson said nothing behind him. He was standing in front of the window, biting his pipe and looking out at the blue sky. The smoke was lingering. Perhaps he was nostalgic for the days of his youth.

The blue sky is still there, and the old people are gone.

After eating this meal, Qin Shiou had to pay the bill, but Father Hickson insisted not to accept it, and instead apologized: "I just thought about some things in the past, maybe the atmosphere is a little depressing, come back tomorrow at noon, and I will make you another one, okay?"

Qin Shiou thanked him and returned to the fishing ground. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, and he was a little tired, so he just lay on the bed and watched TV.

Canada and the United States are closely intertwined. As the latter's younger brother, it can share almost all American TV programs. Qin Shiou watched a TV series that was not imported in China, called "X Killer".

The X killer is a bit of an imitation of the X-Men, and the protagonist is also a mutant with special abilities. His ability is that after coming into contact with a person's DNA, he can change into that person's appearance. The plot tells the story of his use of superpowers to punish and eliminate evil.

In the evening, Auerbach called and said that his old friend of Ritchie's had flown to Newfoundland and was going to help him identify the paintings tomorrow morning.
