1389. First Prize
There is an area in the farmers' market that is all used to hold huge pumpkin competitions, with different groups inside. According to the breeding method, organic fertilizer is one group, chemical fertilizer is one group, and another group has used infusion to promote growth.
After Qin Shiou walked in, he saw that the area was full of big pumpkins, and the smallest one was probably worth thousands of pounds. Seeing this, he took photos with Winnie. It was rare for such big pumpkins to gather together.
Every year, NCLL holds such an event, which has a certain influence in St. Johnsland. Some of the contestants even come from Ontario, and the audience comes from all over Canada.
In addition to the pumpkin weight competition, there is also the pumpkin viewing competition. Qin Shiou didn't know at first. Winnie pushed the little girl around and came back. The little girl was holding a bare and round orange pumpkin in her arms. Winnie said that she bought it for 40 Canadian dollars, and then he suddenly realized.
Winnie bought a pumpkin hat for Qin Shiou. When Qin Shiou got it, she saw that it was really made of pumpkin. However, it was processed with plastic film and glue, and only a layer of skin was left, which was relatively light and was interesting to wear on her head.
When every big pumpkin is shipped, someone will receive it, and then weigh it and put it into the venue for exhibition. These pumpkins will be sorted by weight. There is something in the center of the venue that looks like an Olympic podium, and one, two or three pumpkins will be placed on it.
The waiting process was meaningless. Qin Shiou took the teenagers around the market. Not only did he look at pumpkins, but he also bought a lot of vegetables...
The event will take place all day, from morning to afternoon, as long as the pumpkins are delivered, Qin Shiou was depressed when he heard this. He couldn't just wander around the vegetable market all day, right? Besides, this thing is just a key point in participating. As for which one he doesn't care.
So he took Winnie's children and drove away. St. Johns had many activities today. There was a gym next to the vegetable market where the baby Halloween event was being held. Qin Shiou looked at the little girl with a confused look and decided to go in and take a look.
There are all kinds of children dressed up, the oldest one is no more than ten years old, and older babies like Gordon are also allowed to participate in activities, as long as they don’t feel embarrassed.
Many of the activities are competitive, as well as business games such as second-hand toy trading and stalls for babies. Winnie said that such children's activities and business games are the highlights of the activities. Canadian parents pay great attention to cultivating their children's business talents.
Qin Shiou looked at his daughter, but unfortunately Melon was too young to play such a game. Gordon was eager to try it out. Shirley and Powell kept pulling him, not wanting him to go up and bully his friends.
This kind of game is very simple. Children bring their own toys and experience the experience of setting up stalls and doing business. Parents can help their children set up stalls, but the trading process must not be interfered. It aims to exercise children's communication skills and interact with children with common interests and hobbies. Even if the children sell goods at a high price, barter or give them for free during the period, they cannot intervene.
Gordon looked at the scene with a gaze and said, "I wanted to play this most when I was a child, but I didn't have toys that I could trade, so I couldn't play it."
Qin Shiou looked at Powell, saying that Gordon was a kid who said nothing, and he couldn't believe it all.
Powell shrugged and said, "Yes, Cascades will also do such activities, but we cannot participate. We cannot get tickets in the orphanage."
"Ok." Qin Shiou softened his heart. He called the four teenagers over and said, "If you want to play, why not use pocket money to buy some toys at the supermarket next door and then participate?"
Michelle shook her head and said, "That's so stupid, Qin, that's so stupid! We bought new toys, and then we exchanged them for their old toys?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Listen, kids. You will make countless decisions in your life, and these decisions will not be all right. You will make a lot of transactions, and these transactions will not make you profit. So, sometimes it is important to try, not gain."
The boys nodded thoughtfully, ran to the next door to buy a bunch of toys, found a place and set up a street stall.
Qin Shiou and Winnie pushed the stroller and continued to browse, but they saw a lottery house at the exit, where a little witch and a little witch with Harry Potter's round glasses were sending out leaflets and finding someone to go in for the lottery. Each person can draw once, for only one Canadian dollar.
Qin Shiou read the introduction, there are four types of prizes. The first prize is a family tour package worth 3,000 Canadian dollars. China, the United States, Japan and other places are all selected; the second prize is two cruise tickets worth 1,000 Canadian dollars, and you can enjoy a luxury cruise on the sea; the third prize is a travel product voucher, and the fourth prize is a toy.
The price is not expensive, so Qin Shiou paid three dollars to exchange for the qualification for the lottery three times. As a result, when he entered the lottery house, he found that the opening of the ticket box was very small and could only be reached into the hands of a baby or a teenager.
In this way, Qin Shiou asked the little melon to draw. She used her little hands to pull out three tickets, two of which were Happy Halloween, and one was a fourth prize. She could be exchanged for a small face mask similar to the Sichuan opera facial makeup.
Qin Shiou laughed and put it on the little melon on his face. They walked out the door and met Shirley. Winnie asked, "Hey, why aren't you setting up a stall?"
Shirley said angrily: "Godden and the others are shameless. They are crushing the children with their IQ. I will not do such embarrassing things, so I will come to you."
Seeing that she was angry, Qin Shiou bought another lottery ticket for her to go inside. Although the box box was small, Shirley's hands were not big.
During the lottery, Qin Shiou joked: "Hi, girl, please reach out and touch it around the top of the ballot box."
Winnie asked, "What does it mean?"
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a joke. In the past, someone in our hometown market held a lottery draw, so he pasted the first prize ticket on the box..."
Before he finished speaking, he found that Shirley's face had changed. He immediately asked in a daze: "I won't be able to make it right, right?"
Shirley nodded vigorously, then took out a prize ticket. Qin Shiou opened it and saw that it was the first prize!
"Snow!" Qin Shiou couldn't help but curse.
They then went to redeem the prize. The man in charge of redeem the prize was disbelief when he saw the prize tickets they had obtained. Qin Shiou did not take Shirley, but just took the little melon to redeem the prize. Faced with the man's shock, he shrugged and said, "My daughter has always been lucky."
The man laughed dryly and said, "Yes, she is so lucky."
Their activity is a cooperation with a travel network. The first prize is a prize ticket. With the QR code on this prize ticket, you can get a travel gift package given by the travel network...
It's indeed a big gift package, worth 3,000 yuan.
After getting the ticket, Qin Shiou was about to leave, but suddenly turned around as if he thought of something and said, "My daughter has something to tell you - be honest and moral when doing business." (To be continued.)
