981. Truffle Digging (1/5)
After blocking the public pier, Qin Shiou immediately opened the private pier, and the ferry boats were mobilized. After a while, the ferry will turn around after approaching the small island and drive to the pier of Daqin Fishing Ground.
As for private fishing boats, it depends on the situation. For example, Dow Chemical's transport ship is definitely not allowed to dock at the fishing ground. This is Qin Shiou's freedom.
Qin Shiou and Dow Chemical have joined together. Of course, the whole farewell town has joined them now. After experiencing the blue sky and blue sea, they no longer want to return to the smoky life before. The chemical plant is very important to the small town. , the impact is too great.
If Dow Chemical said that they are willing to solve jobs for the town, then the two sides actually have something to talk about.
However, it is difficult for Dow Chemical to recruit people from small towns, because agricultural chemistry is a very advanced technology that requires high-tech talents. As for porters? Come on, now is a technological society, the cost of using human power in chemical plants is much higher than using machine power.
Dow Chemical’s reaction is not so fast. After their people were expelled, they did not return to the town immediately. Maybe they also gave up the idea of solving the problem peacefully. Anyway, they have completed the procedures and bought a few factories. Just move in. .
Qin Shiou has been studying the "Last Farmer" incident and the violent confrontation incident in Canada for the past two days. He wants to learn from the example, and if the two sides fight, he has to find evidence that can win the sympathy of the judge.
First of all, it is public opinion. Thanks to Huang Jiajia for his efforts to persuade him to open Weibo. Now his Weibo has an extraordinary influence and has gained more than one million people's attention.
He introduced the plight of Farewell Island on Weibo, and then poured dirty water, saying that the government of Newfoundland must have secretly colluded with Dow Chemical. Sacrifice Farewell Island to develop Newfoundland's economy.
He learned the trick from 'The Last Farmer,' Clyde Bundy told the media that state troopers raided his farm because Senator Reed's family was interested in the area. Want to introduce Chinese capital to build a solar power plant.
Bondi is pure dirty water, Qin Shiou is talking about something. Because the reason why the Newfoundland provincial government issued the access agreement to Dow Chemical Canada must be because of its huge tax paying ability, so he was right, the provincial government intends to sacrifice the small town in exchange for economic development.
Then, through Nelson, he made a phone interview with Hamre's sister, Paris Hamre. reported the incident.
Because her brother helped pave the way and Paris was very capable, she only came to the "Newfoundland Times" for more than a year, but she became the deputy editor of the current affairs section and could arrange a piece of news. Qin Shiou spent money to buy a larger page. So in the next week, the newspaper will follow up and report on this matter.
As for other forums and the like, Hughes Jr. led people to operate them. Anyway, they were posting widely to expose the dark collusion between the provincial government and the chemical factory.
Hani commanded people to make some banners and hung them on the public pier, with words like "This time is Farewell Island, which island will be next time".
Since then, all is well. There was another light snow in St. Johns, very fine and fine, and stopped overnight.
In the morning Shirley ran out to have a look. Returning disappointed, he shrugged and said, "I can't use the sled, but I don't have to go to school anymore."
Students below grade 9 in Newfoundland have very easy homework. Because of the snowstorm this year, St. Johns stipulates that as long as it snows, the school will have to attend classes for a day or two.
Qin's mother chatted with Wei Ni. The last time she went for a walk in the town, she saw a shop selling wool and bought a bunch of them back, so that she could knit woolen gloves while chatting with Qin's mother. Can also pass the time.
Winnie looked interesting, so she put down her public management knowledge. Looking aside curiously.
Mother Qin asked, "Do you want to learn?"
Qin's father waved his hand and said disdainfully: "What do you want to learn? You don't want to wear machine-knit sweaters these days. Who still wears hand-knit sweaters? Why do you make Wei Ni work so hard?"
Mother Qin gave him a resentful look, and muttered in a low voice, "You don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills."
Qin's father said even more disdainfully: "Who still takes this as technology?"
Qin Shiou laughed, pointed at Mao Weilong and said, "Xiao Wulang, come and demonstrate to me, Xiao Wulang's knitting skills are very good."
Winnie said cooperatively: "I remember the first gift he gave me was a sweater, right?"
"The sweater that I haven't sent out for four years is finally given to you." Qin Shiou joked.
Mao Weilong stayed in the fishery all the time, and he didn't go back to China for the New Year. Anyway, their family is big, and his parents will not be bored. If he took Liu Shuyan and Douduo back now, he would not be able to bear the gossip.
Hearing that Qin Shiou was making fun of himself, Mao Weilong said unhappily: "What's wrong with being able to knit sweaters? When is it shameful to know a skill? People who don't know this skill are still complacent? What are you talking about?"
Qin Shiou pointed at his father and said, "Don't stare at me, Xiao Wulang, this is what my father said, not me."
The corner of Mao Weilong's mouth twitched, shit, I didn't listen carefully to what this family said just now, and now I fell into a pit.
Qin's mother immediately came out to support Mao Weilong: "Xiaolong is right! That's right, those who can't knit sweaters despise those who can knit, what kind of world is this?"
Mao Weilong scratched the back of his head. He understood that this was a battle between Qin's father and Qin's mother, so it was better for him not to intervene. In the end, he glared at Qin Shiou again, and was really screwed by this bastard.
When the snow stopped and the sky cleared, Qin Shiou looked at the white-capped Kanbal Mountain and said, "There's nothing to do, Dad, let me take you up the mountain, let's go up the mountain to dig truffles!"
"Truffle? Squirrel? Or what?" Father Qin had never heard of such a thing.
Qin's mother persuaded: "Why do you go up to the mountain in this weather? It's just a crime. There's so much snow on the mountain that it's not slippery. What if you bump into each other?"
Qin Shiou explained things like truffles, then patted Xiong Da on the shoulder and said, "Heidao and the others have been training Xiong Da to dig truffles a while ago, we can't waste this skill for nothing, right?"
Xiong Da yawned, leaned his big head on Qin Shiou's lap, blinked his small eyes in a drowsy look, and went to sleep when he had nothing to do.
In winter, the sea is very cold, and he can't go fishing or go out to see the scenery. Qin's father is bored enough. So Qin Shiou said he was going up the mountain, he thought for a while and said, "Then let's go up the mountain, it's a good time to catch rabbits and pheasants."
Qin Shiou waved his hands and said, "If you really want to catch pheasants, you don't need to climb the mountain hard, just wait by the lake at the foot of the mountain."
The surrounding area of Shenbao Lake has become a new food ground for herbivores. After several heavy snowfalls, there is really nothing to eat on the mountain, so they can only go down the mountain to find food.
Just going up the mountain to try his luck, Qin Shiou simply packed some things, everyone changed their clothes, and prepared to climb the mountain. (to be continued)
