1525. Seagulls stay
After hearing what Winni said, Qin Shiou couldn't help but smile bitterly. Silly girl, do you think that vegetables, fruits and melons can survive in the fishing ground and grow so well, is it a matter of water and soil? Wrong, it was provided by your man with the energy of the sea god.
On the contrary, Capale's eyes were bright and asked excitedly: "Mayor Winnie, if the town opens a vegetable greenhouse, will it need more staff?"
Winnie nodded and asked curiously: "Do you still have relatives and friends working in Canada?"
Capale smiled embarrassedly and said, "I want to take my wife over. They have a hard time living in my country. I want to be much better if I can come here to work."
Due to the economic downturn, the government did not have more money to engage in social infrastructure and citizen welfare. Therefore, in the past two years, immigration policies have been strictly enforced, and families like Capalai could hardly immigrate. However, Canada is vast and sparsely populated and requires a large amount of labor, so it has been very broad in terms of labor imports.
Qin Shiou didn't want Winnie to do such a side job, and she was just a mess. In the end, he was still the one who struggled. So while gnawing on her fragrant fat bird legs, she took out her mobile phone to check the specific financial situation online to see if there was any reason to convince him.
Xiong Da stretched out his claws to support his shoulders, looked at the fat bird legs in his hand pitifully, and kept swallowing his saliva, but unfortunately Qin Shiou didn't notice it.
According to an announcement issued by Statistics Canada, food prices in Canada rose 32% in January and February this year, up 34% from the previous month, and food prices in supermarkets rose 35% from the same period last year.
This increase is nothing. Qin Shiou showed it to Winnie and said that this was the result of the Bureau of Statistics. Canada's economy is not as bad as everyone said - the United States' food increase was 22% during the same period.
After he said this, there was no need for Winnie to speak, and the fishermen were already scolding angrily: "Fak Squid Statistics Bureau. Let these idiots go to hell! What do they say are the food prices in supermarkets increasing by 35% compared with the same period last year? I think it is 35%."
"Really, Boss. You only swipe your card and don't look at the price. The average price of food in supermarkets has increased by 20% to 30% compared with the same period last year. For example, the lowest price per pound of parsley last year was about 35 yuan. What about this year? I haven't found ones below 5 yuan!"
"And because of the rise in food cost prices, many supermarkets are unwilling to throw away some broken fruits and vegetables in order to save costs, and they are actually used for sale. They make special foods and find that there is no way to do so."
Canadian supermarkets sell special products every day because they are special products. Therefore, they are inevitably incomplete. Choosing this depends entirely on your personal vision and luck. If you buy something that has something wrong, you cannot go back and return it.
Capale listened to the fishermen's complaints and muttered: "Last weekend, Song and I went to St. Johns to purchase. Song bought a bag of rapeseed at a special price. But when he took it out of the refrigerator the next day, he found it was rotten. I bought a box of peaches. The supermarket said it was organic peaches produced in Ontario, and a special price of 399 yuan per box. As a result, when I bought it home, I opened it and saw that the peaches were half rotten and fruit flies were flying. I almost thought I was back in Cuba again!"
Qin Shiou felt that they were a bit exaggerating. He read online news, according to the ICS report. The increase in Canadian food prices in the past year has been 32%, which is a bit high, but not exaggerating.
However, according to the interview, residents in various regions have indeed felt that the increase in food prices is much higher than the statistics bureau. Moreover, Canada is also experiencing a food safety crisis. In order to make up for the increase in cost prices, many supermarkets not only took price increases, but also achieved significant decline in the quality of fruits and vegetables in supermarkets in order to save costs.
More than 20 fishermen and Capalai agreed with Winni's new policy, believing that the town should be run by the official to build a farm, grow vegetables, fruits and raise cattle and sheep to regulate the price of the town.
Qin Shiou felt that this idea was unreliable. The market is the market and it has its own rules. The town needs to connect with the market. At worst, it’s just a salary. What kind of farm should I do? Is there a lot of questions?
Winnie is full of confidence. The fishing ground has been growing vegetables and fruits in recent years, and has accumulated a lot of high-quality vegetables and fruit seeds. It is a good idea to say goodbye to the island's wasteland, which is to reclaim it to generate income.
Qin Shiou wanted to refute that he could not find a better statement. He said goodbye to the island far away from land, and it was difficult to transport vegetables and fruits to the island, which led to an increase in related costs. However, this disadvantage can be converted into an advantage to some extent, that is, if the town really set up an internal market by itself, it would be relatively easy to stabilize the market because there would not be many outsiders purchasing it.
Otherwise, if you find a large community in St. Johns to set up a low-priced and high-quality vegetable market, you probably won’t be able to buy anything from the locals and will be bought by people outside.
Qin Shiou shook his head, then felt a light in his hand, turned his head and saw Xiong Da chewing his big mouth with satisfaction. The bird's legs were left with only the bones in his hand.
After drinking the beer, eating fried fish, grilled shellfish and Cuban roasted birds, the group separated, on duty, and on rest, went back to rest.
In the next few days, at the end of March, the short-tailed piss group ended their rest and embarked on the migration path again, flew north to northern Canada and Greenland.
After the short-tailed pisses left, Qin Shiou thought he could sleep well. Although there were three birds guarding outside, there were still many birds chirping at night, which caused them to not sleep well. The quality of sleep has plummeted in the past two days.
As a result, when the short-tailed croaker left, there were still many birds left in the fishing ground. In addition to some young birds and tired old birds, there were also many seagulls, or mainly seagulls.
Compared to the excitement when he first came to say goodbye to the island, Qin Shiou is now immune to this species with the same word as his last name. Seagulls can be seen all year round in the fishing grounds, and he found that the seagulls are not as cute as advertised, but are a very annoying bird.
Seagulls like to build nests randomly and like to excrete everywhere, which is far worse than short-tailed squids. The latter only builds nests in the woods, and excretion is also carried out in the fishing grounds. Occasionally, they can provide meat food to the fishing grounds for the teeth sacrifice.
Where is the seagull? Only damage.
Moreover, seagulls eat fish from fish farms. When the number is small, it doesn’t matter. Now there are probably tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of seagulls appearing in the fish farm, so the damage will be more serious.
Qin Shiou didn't care at first, thinking that these seagulls would leave with the short-tailed pirates because they flew over the short-tailed pirates. However, after a full week, it was already early April, and these seagulls were still in the fishing grounds.
Moreover, the seagulls seem to be calling their friends, and there are more and more seagulls in the fishing grounds! (To be continued)
