Chapter 284

Now bid farewell to the island's fishing ground. The resources are exhausted. Only Daqin fishing ground has some vitality because of continuous investment. There are three private fishing grounds left. Now the boss has left farewell island for St. Johns or Toronto.

Qin Shiou has to buy Mr. Ross fishery in the southwest of the island and COD hometown fishery in the West as soon as possible. One of the two fisheries is separated from Daqin fishery, and there is now a giant algae jungle, and the fishery resources have begun to increase.

If you let the two fishermen know about this, it will be more troublesome for him to buy two more fisheries.

Qin Shiou asked Hamley for help and contacted Robinson Ross, the owner of Mr. Ross's fishing ground, to discuss the purchase of Mr. Ross's fishing ground.

The rose family lives in St. Johns. It is a relatively large local family. Like Hughes' ancestors, it was also the first time that the United States fled to Newfoundland during the American War of independence.

They are all people in the upper class circle of St. Johns. Hamley easily helped Qin Shiou find the opportunity.

On August 25, the Inuit in St. Johns had a party. Robinson Ross's wife was an Inuit, so their family would attend the party. Hamley made a phone call and helped Qin Shiou get an invitation to take Winnie to the party.

Just in time, Qin Shiou's Tang dress is brand-new and can be worn to the party.

Knowing that she was going to attend the party, Weini took Qin Shiou to buy a dress. Many of her clothes have not been mailed and are staying in the United States.

Qin Shiou said, "didn't you bring some beautiful skirts? Don't buy it? "

Winnie laughed and said, "you're so cute, Qin. You can't wear those skirts to the Inuit summer Carnival unless you don't want to do business with Mr. Ross."

Looking at Qin Shiou, she was a little confused. Winnie tidied up his collar and explained: "on August 25, this is the second important festival of the Inuit nationality after the muskrat Carnival in March. The summer carnival is also called the seal carnival."

After listening to Weini's introduction, Qin Shiou understood what was going on. Inuit people lived in the bitter and cold land of the Arctic. Their living environment was particularly bad and it was not easy to survive.

Two times a year are very important to them. One is in March, when the ice melts in spring, they will have a three-day celebration called the muskrat carnival.

In addition, it is the day in late August, because from this time, seals enter the mating period, and a large number of seals go ashore to look for a mate. Seals are an important food for the Inuit people. They will catch seals during this time period, so this Carnival came into being.

For Inuit, these two festivals are particularly important, which means that they can hunt and store food. Muskrat Carnival and seal Carnival represent their desire for life.

When celebrating the festival, everyone wears costumes, sings and dances. If outsiders want to participate, they are also welcome, but they must wear costumes to show their respect for the festival, otherwise don't blame the Inuit for their indifference.

Weini looked at Qin Shiou and said, "don't you know Inuit?"

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "I knew their other name was Eskimo..."

"God!" Winnie said anxiously, "this title must not be in Inuit! They don't like to be called 'Eskimo' because it comes from their enemy, the language of the Algonquin Indians, which means' a man who eats raw meat ', and' Inuit 'is their self claim, which means' Terran'. "

Qin Shiou is depressed. The Eskimo is the name he learned from the geography textbook in junior high school. I dare to love our socialist country and have never respected others.

Winnie introduced many things to Qin Shiou. The Inuit are a "minority" in Canada, and there are many taboos. The most common one is to call them "Eskimos".

Because they think that "man" is the supreme representative of the kingdom of life, and the title of "raw meat eater" is very insulting - what's the difference between this and wild animals?

Canada's ethnic composition is a very complex problem. Let alone the current immigration problem, there are three categories of independent indigenous peoples: the first nation, Indians, Metis and Inuit.

There are 800000 of these people, accounting for about 3% of Canada's total population, of which 69% are first nations, 26% are Metis, and only 5% are Inuit. Among them, there are less than 1000 Inuit in St. John's, which is a pocket race.

But often, the smaller the number of races, the more they value their beliefs, culture and traditions. Once they are insulted, they will resist fiercely.

This is normal. It is generally said that a big country has a big mind. Why? With a large country, more resources and strong strength, it's self-confident and free and easy. It's nothing to encounter any insult.

Just like people, those who are awesome, don't care about other people's evaluation. Big guys laugh when they occasionally encounter people and things that don't respect themselves outside. On the contrary, the more small people, the stronger their self-esteem, which is also the reason why these people often have poor self-confidence.

So on the way, Weini constantly stressed to Qin Shiou that after going, in addition to talking about business, others don't easily express their opinions, otherwise it's easy to get enmity.

In the largest clothing mall in St. John's, Winnie chose a handmade cheongsam as a dress in the dragon and Phoenix cheongsam store to match Qin Shiou's Tang clothes.

The cheongsam chosen by Weini is a long cheongsam with the style of the Republic of China. It has a white background and is embroidered with introverted and clear blue and white flowers.

The blue and white of this cheongsam is not a blue flower, but a saying in Chinese ceramic art, such as Yuan blue and white, blue and white porcelain, etc. in the Canadian ceramic industry, blue and white is also known as the Chinese national flower. In fact, this color is blue.

In this way, the snow-white background and blue cloud patterns complement each other, full of an elegant and outstanding charm. The tall Weini puts on this cheongsam, pulls up her black hair, inserts a milky white lotus hairpin, matches with flesh colored crystal silk stockings and sky blue fish mouth high heels, which can only be described as shock.

Winnie walked out and turned around. The eyeballs of several men in the mall burst out. Qin Shiou kept shaking her head. Winnie frowned and said, "isn't it good-looking? Or not? "

"No, it's unbelievable!" Qin Shiou said.

Winnie stretched out her hand and picked Qin Shiou's chin. She said with a smile, "your mouth is sweet. There's a reward when you go back."

The owner of Longfeng cheongsam store is a gentle young woman with exquisite makeup. When Qin Shiou pays the bill for Weini, she has been asking Weini if she is interested in taking promotional photos. She is full of praise for the beauty of Weini wearing this cheongsam.

Weini politely refused and walked out of the mall with Qin Shiou in her arms. No matter men or women, she turned back 100%.

Qin Shiou raised his head and raised his chest. He felt proud. He felt more face than driving a Porsche 918.
