1387. Invitation to NLCC

Kapalai was very attentive to entertain this meal. The Cuban people have a good impression of the Chinese. This is due to the bonus of the socialist lineup. Otherwise, Kapalai and Song Qingshan would not have come together so closely.

While having dinner and chatting, Song Qingshan also smiled and said that when Capale first saw him, he directly called him a revolutionary comrade, and then used the word "comrade" to make him feel uncomfortable.

Capale said embarrassedly: "When we were in the winery, our chief engineer was a Chinese comrade, and we all called him that."

The word "comrade" in Kapalai is pronounced in Chinese, and is quite standard in Mandarin, and is more standard than the pronunciation of Qin's father and mother.

Qin Shiou was very satisfied with this meal, and he saw a new way of cooking.

Especially a dish called "Queen of the Caribbean". This dish is made of lobster. The lobster is steamed, the shrimp meat is peeled out, and the shrimp skin is pieced together into a flower shape. Then the shrimp meat is chopped, mixed with onions and rosemary and other seasonings, put it in and dig it with a spoon.

There is also a staple food called Gonggeli, which is made of rice cooked with white rice and colorful beans. It is added with lemon juice, which is sweet and sour. Qin Shiou felt very happy when he ate it, so he decided to make it when he went back.

Capale said that this dish is the king of cooking in Cuban cuisine. It looks simple, but it is actually difficult to prepare well. He said: "My wife cooks it delicious, but unfortunately I didn't learn her skills. I regret being so lazy at home and not learning cooking skills."

Qin Shiou looked at the dishes on the table with all the colors, fragrance and flavor, and then looked at Song Qingshan. The latter stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'll clean up first."

After dinner, Qin Shiou wanted to leave, but Capalai asked him to wait, took out a rectangular box, and when he opened it, there were cigars inside.

He said: "This is what I brought from my hometown, not a brand product, but my brother hand-rolled it. The cigar he rolled is very famous in our Havana. Foreign tourists like it the most, Mr. Qin, this is my little gift. I hope you can enjoy one after the meal."

Winnie helped Qin Shiou take it. Then she left her msn number and said, "Let Alisha add me as a friend. If she has any questions, I can help."

On a pleasant night, Qin Shiou drove the car far away. Looking back, he found that Kapalai and Song Qingshan were still waving at the door.

The next day, Qin Shiou took the teenagers to the Internet and started buying props and gifts needed for Halloween.

His phone rang, and after answering, he said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, we are the Newfoundland Compost Council. Your vegetable garden has harvested a large pumpkin of two thousand pounds, right?"

Newfoundland Compost Council? What the hell is this? Qin Shiou was puzzled and replied: "It's less than two thousand pounds, maybe only more than one thousand nine hundred pounds, what's wrong?"

After hearing his answer, the people over there were excited and raised their voices: "That's right. Mr. Qin, we want to organize a pumpkin weight competition within Newfoundland. I want to invite you to participate. The venue is at the Pachilla Farmers' Market in St. Johns. I wonder if you are interested?"

Qin Shiou asked them to wait and asked, "What the hell is the Newfoundland Compost Council?"

Auerbach explained: "Nlcc, whose full name is Pos-council-of-newfoundland&labador, is a civil association directly under the provincial government. Its main purpose is to encourage people to use organic compost instead of industrial fertilizers in agriculture."

Qin Shiou said about their invitation, and Auerbach said: "It's okay. Such events are held every year, which is one of the Halloween events. This can also be certified. The pumpkin king will get a certificate every year. Moreover, participating in this event is based on small towns, and we can promote our town."

After understanding, Qin Shiou replied: "Okay, sir, I think I can participate."

The person on the other side of the phone said, "Thank you very much for your cooperation. I would like to introduce it first. When you cultivate this pumpkin, did you use organic compost or fertilizer? Have you artificially imported nutrients through pumpkin seedlings? Did you cultivate them outdoors?"

Qin Shiou replied: "Well, I use organic compost and have not injected nutrients. As for the cultivation location, of course, it is cultivated outdoors."

After receiving his reply, the other side sent an invitation with satisfaction, and told him to bring the pumpkins to the competition on October 30, but the pumpkin vine, along with the root and a piece of soil, needs to be brought over.

Halloween is at the end of October, and there is still a week. This is an important festival, especially October 31 this year, which coincides with Saturday. It is a good day and is destined to be more lively than in previous years. Therefore, every household is now preparing, and many organizations and officials are also organizing activities.

Qin Shiou has not cared about this festival in the past two years. His fishing ground is far away from the town. If he does not deliberately contact it, he will not be able to learn about this information. This year, he paid special attention and found that there are many such activities.

Parent-child garden activities, pumpkin competitions, pumpkin carving competitions, and even pumpkin boat competitions.

The fishing ground has planted a lot of pumpkins, all of which are big and small. The teenagers excitedly picked them back. In the past few days, each of them has a set of utility knifes, and are busy carving pumpkin lanterns and pumpkin statues.

Of course, the most important preparation is the evening makeup party. The town is very lively every year, especially after opening the tourism market, tourists will be invited to participate. After all, this is a large amount of income.

Qin Shiou asked Winnie what she wanted to dress up. Winnie looked at him with her eyes circling and asked with a smile: "Where are you, my dear?"

The Qin Grand Official smiled proudly and said, "I won't tell you."

"Then do you think I'll tell you?"

The Qin Master blinked, it was right. He was so stupid. He might as well tell Winnie a fake one.

Winnie pinched his cheek, raised her toes and kissed her sweetly, "I just like your stupid and cute look, OK, keep going to be sad, I will make you feel eye-opener at that time."

On the 30th, the Halloween atmosphere began to become stronger. Canadians attached great importance to this festival and treated it no less than Christmas. The store started various promotional activities, as if they wanted to sell everything in the warehouse.

Qin Shiou took Winnie and the children on the way to the Pachira Farmers' Market in the morning. This time he went to get the record. Although there was no Guinness World Record authority, the NLCC record was rewarded, which was 50,000 Canadian dollars, which was a lot.

The bull has been drooling when he knew it. If he had a choice, he would rather have cultivated such a big pumpkin and handed over the record of the cucumber to Qin Shiou. (To be continued.)
