Golden Fishery

Chapter 8: .Into the sea (please collect, thanks)

Auerbach brought the camera. He filmed “The Woman with the Golden Drum” from different angles. He also selected a picture of “Morning Wind Blows the Woods” from Pinarang’s paintings, and also filmed it.

“I sent it to my old friend and asked him to judge it professionally.” Auerbach explained, “That guy is the artistic director of Ricci’s auction house in Ottawa, and he said nothing.”

Qin Shiou collected these paintings and set them up. When Auerbach was leaving, he saw the pickup truck in the yard and nodded and said, “It’s really inconvenient to go from the fishing ground to the town. I neglected this matter. Old Ford, I’ll take the pickup truck back to Anderson.”

Anderson is the name of the owner of that small hotel.

After hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little moved and said, “You give me 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 alone in the small building and had nothing to do, so he took on the vacuum cleaner and chicken feather blanket, ready to clean.

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 has nearly one hundred square meters.

The second floor is a little smaller, with two hundred and fifty-sixty square meters. There are six bedrooms symmetrically distributed. In addition, there is a cloakroom of about twenty square meters. It is very spacious and decorated in a simple style. The entire small building has no floor or walls. A layer of fine red maple board is laid, which is moisture-proof and beautiful.

During lunch, Qin Shiou prepared to change his taste. The cod in Newfoundland is very famous. He transferred his consciousness to the nearby ocean, ready to fulfill his wish at the time, and burn a cod to taste.

The beautiful Shenbao Lake gave Qin Shiou great thoughts. Originally, he thought that the landscape of a lake is so splendid and gorgeous, and the vast underwater world should be more colorful.

But what he saw in his consciousness disappointed him. The bottom of the water is within two meters of deep white and fine sand. In addition, he can touch the reef every few times.

His consciousness dived further, and when the water was about four or five meters deep, coral appeared on the bottom of the sea.

Different from the colorful Australian tropical corals on TV, most of the corals in the waters around the fishing grounds are gray-white and lifeless.

Qin Shiou thought that this was what the coral of the frigid zone looked like, and then accidentally, he also saw a small piece of coral that blended pink and yellowish.

From this piece of coral, Qin Shiou could feel the vitality, and the small coral insects gathered 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 made up of coral corpses.

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

The coastal waters of the fishing grounds are lifeless, and the seabed environment has been 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 for the fish to escape.

As he recovered his consciousness, Qin Shiou saw a transparent jellyfish with long arms floating towards him.

This jellyfish has a length of more than forty centimeters and a caliber of five centimeters. Its shape is like a spiral arm, and the whole body is well-proportioned, but the two ends are slightly slender. The body is composed of outer and inner walls, and the middle is hollow. .

Qin Shiou recognized that this is a cup sponge. Although it looks very large, it is actually similar in structure to coral. The latter is composed of countless small coral insects, and it is composed of countless small jellyfish.

Cup jellyfish is a very common creature in the Atlantic Ocean. This cup sponge is made up of square deep cup jellyfish. A small jellyfish is only two millimeters in length. They usually live in groups. Thousands of small jellyfish are combined together to have this. Structure.

Seeing this cup sponge, Qin Shiou was a little pleased, because this thing can attract fish, it is known as a ‘small fish bunker’, which can protect the small fish.

As we all know, the ocean preying on the pyramid is the big fish eating the small fish, but the cup sponge can grow into a length of several meters or even tens of meters. To the big fish, it is like a monster and dare not attack it easily.

Hiding in this way, the fish can get a higher chance of survival. The secretions and excrement of small fish are the food of these cup jellyfish, and the symbiosis between the two is a great wonder of the ocean.

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

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

Qin Shiou’s consciousness receded, the cup sponge followed him all the time, and finally floated beside the pink and yellowish coral before it stopped.

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

Withdrawal of consciousness, Qin Shiou felt tired and hungry for a while.

The cod was not found, and Qin Shiou was too lazy to cook the carp, so he drove into the car and went to town, and found a restaurant called ‘Papa Hickson’ to eat ready-made ones.

The restaurant looks a bit dilapidated from the outside, but the inside is very clean. An old white man with a beard and braid on his chin is busy cleaning up. The oak tables are shiny and polished. Obviously they are old. On the patina.

“Hi, buddy, what can I do?” Seeing Qin Shiou, the old man asked with a smile.

When Qin Shiou was about to speak, the old man looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly walked over and gave him a punch in the chest: “You are driving the old Auerbach car. I heard that the old man picked up Qin’s grandson. Here comes the town, is that you?”

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

He is looking forward to the old man giving him a discount like a hotel owner. It would be even better if he invited him to dinner.

As a result, the chubby old man laughed and said: “Great, boy, your grandpa still owes me more than one thousand yuan for the meal. Remember to pay him off in the future.”

Qin Shiou couldn’t laugh or cry, but then the old man patted his shoulder affectionately and said: “But I will ask for the first meal. I promised Qin that he will invite them to dinner when his descendants come to take over the fishery.”

The old man with pigtails worked vigorously and rushed into the kitchen after he sat down. Qin Shiou watched him disappear in a daze. It took a long time before he said silently: “Master, I haven’t said what to eat yet.”

Four or five minutes later, a fragrant fried rice was served, and the white rice was covered with whiter and tender salmon meat, dotted with golden oil flowers, and slices of golden egg pancakes. In addition, the fried rice is topped with a layer of red meat sauce, which seems to make people appetite.

Qin Shiou took a bite of the meat sauce rice with a spoon. The fresh and tender gravy accompanied the warm rice in the taste buds. He gave the old man with pigtail a thumbs up and said vaguely: “It’s great, this is what I have eaten. The best fried rice.”

Hearing his praise, the little old man’s eyes narrowed with a smile. He took out a pipe and held it to his mouth. After spitting out the cigarette, he said, “This is the spicy fried salmon that my father Hickson is best at. Meat sauce rice, your grandpa liked this food very much before, I guess you will like it too.”

“The world is delicious.” Qin Shiou praised.

As soon as he uttered the word, Old Hickson calmed down. 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. 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 the word, “delicious in the world”. At that time, my father was in charge of it. This restaurant is in the blink of an eye, for many years.”

Father Hickson didn’t say anything behind him, standing in front of the window biting his pipe and looking out at the blue sky, with smoke lingering, maybe he was feeling the time when he was young.

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

After eating this meal, Qin Shiou had to pay the bill. Father Hickson insisted on not accepting it, but instead apologized: “I just thought of some things in the past, and the atmosphere may be a little depressed. You will come again at noon tomorrow, and I will make another one for you. Okay?”

Qin Shiou thanked him and returned to the fishing ground. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, and his spirit 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 shows. Qin Shiou watched a TV series that was not introduced in China called ‘X Killer’.

X Killer is a bit imitating the X-Men, and the protagonist is also a mutant with special functions. His ability is that after he comes into contact with a person’s DNA, he can become that person. The plot tells the story of his use of super powers to punish and punish evil.

In the evening, Auerbach called and said that his old friend from the Ritchie auction house had flown to Newfoundland and would help him identify those paintings tomorrow morning.
