232. Tail

When the Seagull drove in, the fishermen looked at it curiously. Gloucester is also a tourist port, with beautiful bays and clean beaches. Yachts are not uncommon, and yachts with Chinese names are rare.

These fishermen thought Qin Shiou and others were here to play tickets, but after the ship entered the dock, they did not stop at the dock, but drove towards the location where the fishing company was.

Qin Shiou came to the fishing company for the second time, unlike the last time he was in St. Johns. The fishermen here did not show any particular resistance, but were either curious or bored to look at them.

Shaq explained to Qin Shiou: "The fishermen in Gloucester Port have a better life. There are about ten weeks a year suitable for catching tuna, and they can harvest almost 100,000. In addition, they usually catch other fish, which is considered a middle class in the United States. This is different from the fishermen in St. Johns. Almost all the fishermen there are on the verge of bankruptcy, so in other words, the fishermen here have a better temper and a weaker hatred for the rich."

Qin Shiou then understood this truth. He thought that Americans were much lower in quality than Canadians.

He was not familiar with the place and Qin Shiou didn't know the situation of these fishing companies in Gloucester Port, so he chose the dock of the fishing company with the most docked ships around, called the "Trident Fishing Catch Company".

Compared with St. Johns, Gloucester has a much smaller area, less than 4,000 hectares, and a permanent population of only more than 1,000 people.

But there are more fishery companies in this port, with a variety of miscellaneous and ten, and they are all brightly lit at this time, waiting to collect the fishing catch.

After Qin Shiou's boat stopped, the fishermen around him thought they had stopped in the wrong place and gathered on the side to wait and watch the show.

As a result, the trident fishing company threw down a hook, Qin Shiou tied it to the fish's tail, and a big tuna was lifted up.

The sounds of fishermen gasping and discussions sounded around him. Qin Shiou enjoyed this feeling of slapping in the face.

"Fish meat rating is A-rated, 14 yuan per pound, the total weight is 559 pounds, and the rope cover is 4 pounds, well, the total weight is 555 pounds." A fat white old man said to Qin Shiou. "I'll take a look at your fishing license. Do you have any objections to this price?"

Shaq handed the fishing license and their express passport to the old man, who checked and nodded. At this time, a white girl with green eyes sat in front of the computer and asked, "Do you want a check or a bank card transfer?"

Qin Shiou said, "Give me a check."

He has not applied for a US bank card here yet. If he transfers money, it will be a cross-border remittance. It is very troublesome.

The old man handed the document back to Shaq, and said, "Anfanie, let's calculate it according to integers for several gentlemen, and it's 560 pounds."

Qin Shiou politely shook hands with him and thanked him. The old man smiled and congratulated him on catching such a big fish and gave him a business card. The old man named James Lewis, who is the head of the Trident Company in Gloucester Port.

The fishermen circle says it’s big or small. There are only a few people fishing tuna here every year, and almost all of them are fixed partners of various fishing companies, so it’s difficult for fishing companies to dig up customers. If a fresh face appears, these fishing companies will seize the opportunity to establish good relationships.

As for whether this fresh face can catch tuna, it doesn’t matter. At most it’s a business card, isn’t it?

In this way, this fish gave Qin Shiou an extra 8,000 yuan. It was just US dollars, which was equivalent to Canadian dollars, which was almost 10,000 yuan.

This price is different from Shaq's estimated income of 20,000 yuan. But almost all the fishing companies buy it at half price. After all, air transport from the United States to Tokyo. With the tax payment, it still requires some money.

After getting the check, Qin Shiou shook it and took Yiwasen and his group to the shore. Shak stayed on the boat to take care of Xiong Da and Hu Zi, but they could not get ashore and could not even show up.

If you have a passport in hand, it is okay for people to enter and exit the United States, but if you can change it to an animal, it will be different.

After Qin Shiou and others got ashore, someone chased them. A talkative blond young man walked up and greeted them, "Guys, Canadians? Hello, my name is Weiser, and I am the natives here."

Hearing the claim of "Indigenous", Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Hello, man, we are from Labrador Newfoundland, we are here specifically for fishing. We are not familiar with this city. Can you introduce a good hotel?"

Weisser waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me and come with me. I will definitely make you feel comfortable to eat and live in, and it won't cost much."

He drove a car, a GMC pickup truck, Qin Shiou hired another taxi, and the group drove to the small town not far away.

On the way, Weiser revealed his intentions and talked directly about fishing: "You are so amazing. I got the big guys as soon as you come. By the way, man, what brand of fish hooks and fishing lines do you use? What are the baits? Herring, squid, mackerel, or little male fish?"

These are not considered secrets. Qin Shiou didn't care, so he said it one by one. Then he felt that he could not disappoint the handsome American guy, so he told him some so-called 'secret': "The bait we use is not a simple fish, man, it is definitely not simple."

Sea Monster and Nelson laughed, knowing that their boss is starting to play the game of life like a play again.

Weisser was indeed excited and asked, "What are your tricks?"

Qin Shiou said: "You have to sprinkle some sheep's blood in the frozen bait. Remember, you cannot make cow blood or pig blood. You must be sheep's blood. Of course, you also need to add an appropriate amount of sesame oil. Such bait is delicious for tuna."

He said this not to fool this handsome guy. Although tunas are not as bloodthirsty as sharks, they are also sensitive to the smell of blood. Many fishermen will add animal blood to the bait to increase their attractiveness to tuna.

Weisser agreed and said, "Although I don't understand what it means, man, I think what you said makes sense. You orientals are very good at making mysterious things, so it's right for you."

The small town is so big, like a town. I turned a few turns and stopped in front of a three-story building. Then Weiser helped Qin Shiou carry some luggage and said, "Okay, here, guys, Weiser House, I bet you will definitely live here in the future."

Damn, Qin Shiou was so funny that he couldn't help but laugh. It turns out that Weiser's family is in the hotel business. Is he considered a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

The small building is not big, and the overall building is made of bluestone and maple wood. From the outside, the style is simple. After entering the door, you can find that the house is cleaned very clean.

The living room on the first floor is equipped with seven or eight tables, used as a restaurant. There is a small bar in the southeast corner, with a TV hanging above it. The second and third floors are both rental bedrooms, ranging from single rooms to triple rooms. The prices are very cheap. The most luxurious single room is only $45 a night, and breakfast is also provided.

Qin Shiou looked at the room with good hygiene and clean bedding, so he happily paid the rent for one week. He gave Weiser an extra 200 US dollars and asked him to prepare some pizza, bread and other things for midnight snacks.

After getting the money, Weiser became more enthusiastic about Qin Shiou. Before leaving, he said, "My man, I have to remind you, you should rest quickly and leave the port early at midnight, otherwise you will definitely not be able to fish peacefully tomorrow."

"What does it mean?" Qin Shiou asked.
