Chapter 191

It was Qin Shiou's idea to divert the money from the fish disaster in Chenbao lake to expand tourism channels, so when he was in trouble in this regard, he needed to help.

The most important thing is that he has nothing to do. He can't lie on the beach in the sun all day, can he?

Not only did Qin Shiou help himself, but he also took Iverson and Nelson. In the morning, he drove to the lake. Hamley in his vest and suit was already waiting there. In addition, there are more than a dozen large or small fishing boats docked by the lake, and fishing nets are placed on the shore.

Seeing Qin Shiou, Hamley came up and shook hands warmly, and then said, "have you eaten?"

"What?" Qin Shiou didn't react for a moment.

Hamley said with a smile, "isn't this the most commonly used greeting for you Chinese? Recently, I invited a professor who has studied Chinese language and literature from the school of foreign languages of St. John's University to come to the town to open a class to tell everyone about your country's culture and customs. "

Qin Shiou suddenly realized that the civil servant has spared no effort to develop the town economy. He really takes the development of tourism as his business.

"Yes, man, breakfast is great. Did you eat it?" Qin Shiou replied.

Hamley sighed and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Damn it, why don't those old men in Maple Leaf City sit in the office and listen to our good news? They're giving us problems."

Qin Shiou choked. It seems that Hamley doesn't have a deep understanding of the culture of "dinner greetings". How can he answer that? This is a Chinese question and a European and American answer.

After that, someone arrived again and again. Hamley found the backbone, including Qin Shiou, and said, "this time, we're going to perform a purse seine to catch Asian carp and give an explanation to the Lords above. No problem?"

Hughes smiled and said, "God, this is really a job. Seizing Asian carp has proved to be a failed choice."

Hamley said, "we're just here to deal with it. Do you really want to kill our God of wealth?"

After Hamley's publicity, many people in the town know that the Asian carp they regard as a disaster will become a characteristic project in the tourism industry.

After the arrangement, Qin Shiou began to work. Qin Shiou took Nelson and Iverson on a boat, took a purse seine and went underwater.

Purse Seine is a kind of net for catching clustered fish. During operation, the fish can be surrounded by nets to force the fish to concentrate on the net bag, so as to catch them all.

This is a more effective traditional fishing gear, especially to deal with the pelagic fish resources in marine lakes. In the past, Newfoundland fishing ground used this tool and method to catch cod.

Up to now, purse seine fishery is still the main force of world fishery, and the annual catch can account for 20% - 30% of the total marine catch. Moreover, with the improvement of fishing technology and the popularization of modern fish exploration equipment, the scope of purse seine fishing objects is expanding, and even cluster fish at the bottom of the ocean can be caught.

Nelson rowed to the center of the lake and said, "there must be many fish here. How about we start here?"

Qin Shiou signals to come casually. Iverson controls the fishing ground. Nelson cooperates with Qin Shiou to get off the net.

A purse seine is actually a net that encloses the net for fishing. This net is a bit like a funnel cut at one end - the opening of the funnel is upward, with a bag and two wings.

The so-called bag is a force point at the bottom of the funnel. The two wings are the two sides of the fishing net. In this way, after the fishing net is scattered into the lake, the two wings are closed, just like closing the funnel. The enclosed fish will be wrapped in the fishing net at that time, but they can't run away.

The fishing net fell, and Iverson rowed the boat fast. After a while, Qin Shiou felt almost right, gave Nelson a look, and the two began to close the net.

Be careful when closing the net. The two wings of the net slowly close. Then don't drag the net immediately. Instead, drive the fishing ground to the shore and drag the net in the lake for a while. In this way, the edge of the fishing net is entangled, and the fish in it can't escape.

The fishing boat landed. Just at this time, two Buick regals came. It was the government car that said goodbye to the town. The car stopped on the lake bank, and a line of middle-aged people in straight suits came down.

Qin Shiou looked up. These people were dressed like dogs, like human elites. Obviously, they were the officials arranged by Ottawa to check the fish disaster control work.

From the appearance, these officials are no different from those who inspect work everywhere in China, but they are much thinner, and those who are fat or pouting beer belly do not appear.

Similarly, these officials were accompanied by a television interview group. A hostess in an ol professional suit said a few words to the camera, and then interviewed these officials and the mayor of Hamley.

Hamley is an old hand in this field. He said a few words simply and comprehensively, which is nothing more than how important Chenbao lake is to the town, how harmful Asian carp are to Chenbao lake, and how to manage the Asian carp disaster after we get the financial support of Congress.

These are useless idioms. Qin Shiou lost interest after listening to two sentences, so he wholeheartedly began to pull the fishing net.

Both he and Iverson are brute force. Nelson is responsible for locking the two wings of the fishing net. In this way, as the fishing net is dragged up, one big Asian carp are pulled to the shore.

The trawls used this time are all 5 cm diameter meshes, which can only catch large fish. Some local small fish can easily escape even if surrounded by fishing nets.

Qin Shiou caught a lot of Asian carp. It seems that there are more than 20 carp, each of which is 70-80 cm long and has a great visual impact.

In this way, he became a benchmark. Hamley came to him with a TV reporter. The female reporter asked Nelson first. The latter shrugged, pointed to Qin Shiou and said, "if you have a problem, please ask our boss. I'm a migrant worker."

The female reporter didn't expect that Qin Shiou, a Chinese, was the boss here, so she quickly turned to hide her embarrassment and asked him, "Sir, did you catch this net fish?"

Qin Shiou said to him secretly, isn't this nonsense? I'm holding the fishing net right in front of you. I didn't catch it. Who did it?

He coughed and said calmly, "I didn't catch it."

The female reporter was stunned. Qin Shiou added: "it was caught by our team. Look at the two friends around me. They pay more energy than me."

After hearing this, the female reporter smiled and said, "you are really an excellent team. How long did it take to catch these fish?"

Well, the topic came. Qin Shiou said, "Oh, it won't take long, about 20 to 25 minutes."

It took more than 20 minutes to catch more than 20 Asian carp, and his fishing boat is still efficient. Normally, you can't catch so many fish in half an hour. That's why purse seine fishing has no effect on controlling Asian carp disasters.

In terms of this efficiency, it is estimated that if you catch 100 fish, the fish parents in the lake can give birth to 1000 small fish, and the way of purse seine fishing is ineffective for small fish.

In other words, this is a way of working to address the symptoms rather than the root causes.
