Golden Fishery

84. Re-entry to Shenbao Lake

Qin Shiou bought fruit at the Hughes convenience store. Hughes told him that these fruits were all natural. The blackberries and blueberries were picked and sold to him by the people in the town, not those grown on farmland.

Farewell Island belongs to the southern part of Canada, the climate is relatively mild, it is magical, and there are berries growing all year round.

Especially in summer and autumn, blueberries, blackberries, etc. can be picked by the roadside, and the locals still don't eat them. Because of the traffic on the road, they arrogantly dislike the unclean berries on the roadside.

After buying good things, Qin Shiou stayed in town for a while, sitting in the convenience store and chatting with Hughes while having coffee.

The relocation of the two chemical plants made the townspeople more optimistic than ever, and everyone Qin Shiou saw was full of smiles.

"Qin, I have to thank you for bringing hope to everyone." Hughes looked at Qin Shiou sincerely and said.

When Qin Shiou said this, he raised his heart again and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. The two chemical plants killed themselves."

Hughes filled his coffee cup and said, "Yes, but even without the chemical plant, we don't have any fish here. You brought in so many fry in the fishing grounds, or stocked them. In this way, the fry will migrate in the future. Swim into the public waters and we can all catch fish.”

It turned out to be this matter, Qin Shiou raised the coffee cup and said, "This is what I should do, and the money I used was left by my grandfather, so we should thank my grandfather."

"Mr. Qin is a good person." Hughes' wife said with emotion, "I still remember that when Hughes and I got married, we borrowed his cruise ship to travel around the sea, but unfortunately the ship was towed away by the government. "

Qin Shiou wanted to inquire about the second grandfather, Qin Hongde, a yellow race who came to Canada more than 70 years ago. It is almost unbelievable that he could earn such a large fishing ground from scratch.

If Qin Hongde didn't have any help - such as the Sea God's Heart, it was absolutely impossible.

This sea god's heart was received by Qin Shiou ten years ago. At that time, he just said that the second grandfather he had never met left it to him, and he didn't say anything else. Qin Hongde also happened to pass away ten years ago. If it is said that there is no connection, That's the ghost.

He didn't understand why this Seagod's Heart was given to him? Is it because he is the only seedling of the old Qin family? Why not to father or sister? And after giving him the sea god's heart, why didn't he let him inherit the fishing ground at that time?

In fact, since Auerbach went to announce his inheritance, he had a series of questions in his mind.

It's a pity that Hughes and others don't know much about his second grandfather. What Qin Shiou knows is the law of life, diet hobbies, etc. Hughes said that if he wants to know anything private, he has to ask Auerbach. Auerbach is him Grandpa funded it, and Qin Hongde gave the tuition and living expenses when he was in school.

After staying here for a while, Qin Shiou took the car back and saw that Shaq and the Kraken were packing up their fishing gear, including bows and spear guns, etc. He asked, "What are you doing?"

Shaq grinned and said, "Nothing today, BOSS, so the sea monsters and I are going to shoot the fish, you know, the Asian carp are so arrogant right now, they're going to mating season, and they have to get rid of one before they spawn. Approval, otherwise Shen Baohu will really be finished."

"I'll go too." Qin Shiou said, "Or let's use guns, automatic rifles, it's very cool."

Auerbach helped him transfer Qin Hongde's grandfather's gun license to his name,

Now he can buy and use automatic weapons.

The sea monster shook his head and said, "Then what are we looking for? The bullets are so expensive, and the fish don't jump out consistently. One or two bullets will kill one or two fish. It's a waste of money. It's better to let these damn fish multiply. Woolen cloth."

This is the difference in concept. Qin Shiou thinks that shooting fish is an entertainment activity, and it can also be brought back to cook and eat, so it doesn't matter how much money is spent.

People in Farewell Town believe that shooting fish is a public welfare activity. They do it to protect the indigenous fish in Shenbao Lake. If they want to spend money, they don't do it.

Canadians and Americans are more meticulous when it comes to money, and they are less willing to suffer than Chinese people.

Qin Shiou took his pulley bow and got into the car with Shaq and the sea monster. This time they brought an ordinary wooden fishing boat, because this kind of boat is the most fuel efficient.

Shenbao Lake is vast and wide, with an area of ​​80 to 90 square kilometers. It belongs to a small lake in the Great Lakes region.

Canada's water resources are too rich. Half of the Great Lakes region, which accounts for 20% of the world's freshwater resources, is in her territory, resulting in large and small amber in many places.

When Qin Shiou and his party arrived, there were still a few people shooting fish on the lake. This time it was not a town-wide event, so no oscillator was used. To disturb the fish, the noise made by the ship could only be used.

The sea monster hangs an underwater speaker at the stern. After opening it, you can see the ripples on the water surface, and you can also pray for the effect of the oscillator to scare the fish underwater.

After the boat entered the water and drove for a while, two black grass carp with a length of more than half a meter jumped up. Shaq quickly pulled his English longbow, only to hear a 'swish', and a sharp arrow passed from his side Shoot, shoot through a fish and bring it into the water.

"Nice job, BOSS!" The sea monster who had just picked up the speargun laughed.

Qin Shiou shrugged, dragged the fish back, and said as he pulled the arrow down, "Not bad, I'm finally not ashamed of the hard work I put in to practice bow and arrow a few days ago."

The other fish did not leave after falling into the water, and was still wandering around anxiously. Shaq picked up the fish shuttle, looked into the water, slightly turned the gun head downward, and with a flick of the strong hand, the fish shuttle shot. Go out, 'swish' shot into the water all at once.

Shaq pulled the fish shuttle back, and the gun tip was just inserted into the fish head. Qin Shiou also praised: "You've shot this dog's head, man, I can't see that you're still a headshot maniac!"

Knowing that these fish are also edible, Shaq and the sea monsters will not waste any more. They prepared a fish chop knife. After shooting the big fish, they directly raised the knife and cut off the head and tail of the fish. Go to the cabin and chill with the prepared ice cubes.

The fishing boat slowly wandered on the lake, surrounded by clear and green lake water, the wind was light and cloudless, and the sun was shining. Qin Shiou looked into the water, and the clear lake water seemed to reflect his soul.

Not far away, someone shooting fish sang a Canadian folk song, Qin Shiou's heart moved, and he opened his throat and began to roar: "Blue sky, clear lake, green grassland, this is my home... "

"The galloping horses, the white sheep, and your girl, this is my home..."

"I love you my home, my home my heaven..."

This "Paradise" is a masterpiece by Tengger, the king of grassland singers. The melody is simple and catchy, but it has high requirements for the singer's voice, with a wide soundtrack and sufficient lung energy. Qin Shiou could only hum in the past. , it's hard to sing like that.

It's different now. The transformation of the Seagod's energy to him is actually to allow him to better adapt to the sea. Now his lung capacity is very high, otherwise when he played the day before yesterday, his explosive force was so strong that he couldn't absorb enough oxygen would be in vain.

Roaring like this, Qin Shiou sang even more heroically than Tengger, and he was lyrical in view of the scene, and there was his emotion in his singing, which was very pleasant.

Shaq and the sea monster didn't understand Chinese, but that didn't prevent them from enjoying the song. Qin Shiou sang aloud, and the two stopped shooting fish. They put down their bows and spear guns and began to beat the beat and his song.

At the end of the song, the two of them, like audience members, clapped and shouted loudly, "Okay, BOSS, you sang really well!"

The people who were shooting fish around also screamed strangely. Some people supported the fishing boat and called to Qin Shiou: "Qin, another song, it's so good. It's the first time I've heard a real person sing a Chinese song!"

"What do you mean by that song?" Shaq asked.

Qin Shiou translated "Paradise" to a few people, and the sea monster said with a little regret: "Alas, it's a pity that we are a fishing ground, not a grassland. I haven't been to the grassland yet."

Shake rolled his eyes at him and said, "You idiot, the point of this song is to sing about hometown, it doesn't matter where it is!"

"It's also very simple to adapt it into a fishing ground," Qin Shiou said with a smile. "Just change a few words. It's very simple to replace the green grassland with the dark blue ocean, and the galloping horses into the galloping fishing boats."

"Then change it, and then teach us to sing this song. We can perform on this year's town celebration." Sea Monster said excitedly.

Town Celebration Day is the anniversary of the town's birth. Don't look at the small and broken town. In fact, this town has a long history. It has been established for more than 150 years. At its peak, tens of thousands of people lived here. As the Newfoundland fishing grounds declined, so did the town.

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "It's no problem. In the future, let's make a big chorus to stun your friends."

No one was controlling it. The fishing boat drifted slowly and slowly approached the island in the lake. Shenbao Lake was not a pure big lake, it was formed by the accumulation of groundwater. Some parts of the lake used to be highlands and were later flooded.

But every spring when the water level of the lake is shallow, it will still be exposed, and these high grounds grow trees such as metasequoia and redwood, which will not drown even if they are submerged in the water all year round.

Now the island in the lake exposed on the water has thousands of square meters, and some fir trees are growing densely. Qin Shiou looked at it and said, "How about we go to the island to have a look?"
