After having this Scottish dinner, Qin Shiou said goodbye to the Hamleys and his wife and embarked on the way back.

He still has nearly 100 million idle funds. Qin Shiou originally planned to buy a plane, but he had too few opportunities to use it and wasted. Now with the Hamre incident, his funds are useful.

I really didn't expect that Canadian politics could be played like this. A mayor of Hamre was going to participate in the Mayorship of St. Johns. It made him feel unbelievable that he was familiar with the promotion system of China's political arena.

In fact, Canadian politics is just like this. If Qin Shiou joined a powerful party and won the support of the party, he could run for the election. What's more, Hamre was not only a mayor, but also one of the 25 people selected by the St. Johns City Council.

In St. Johns, the city council has both decision-making and executive power, that is, the city council is the city government, and the city council members are the government's real power managers.

This is also a different place in Canada and the United States. Local governments adopt a city council system, which is a heritage from the UK and is relatively rare around the world.

The advantage of this system is that it is conducive to reducing the conflict between the resolution agencies and administrative agencies and improving management efficiency. However, it has one disadvantage, it lacks a mayor who can unifiedly command the work of various departments of the municipal government and has absolute power.

Whether it is Okever now or Hamre who may be elected in the future, they will become mayors, but their power is not that great, and they need to supervise the city council in everything they do. Of course, they are the nominal commander of the city council.

That's why Hamre has no right to sell the farewell island to Qin Shiou. Of course, Qin Shiou doesn't have that much money to buy the farewell island.

Quebec has just auctioned a small island called "Konauk". The island only includes 13 wooden houses, 70 private lakes and 5 small islands. It covers an area of ​​about 26,305 hectares and sold for 96 million Canadian dollars!

The area of ​​the farewell island is five times that of Konauk, and it has a permanent population. How to price it? 500 million? 1 billion or 5 billion?!

But Qin Shiou remembered Hamley's promise, saying that if he was elected mayor, he would feel that the farewell island was his private island, which would be great.

Back to the villa, Winnie was waiting for him in the living room with her head holding the little carrot head and watching TV. As soon as he came back, Winnie went to the kitchen to pour him a bowl of the cooked sober soup.

This sober soup was learned by Winnie from her mother during the Chinese New Year. She used fish heads and ginger as the main ingredients, plus shredded tofu, shredded pickled cabbage, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded mushrooms, and then mixed with egg white. The taste was sour and spicy, delicious and had a sober function.

Qin Shiou took a sip and gave a thumbs up. Actually, he didn't drink much, but he couldn't refuse Winni's kindness.

When Qin Shiou was busy with work, he felt that it would be perfect to have a wife around him who was in the middle of the night. Winnie was qualified for this role, but now he doesn't have to work in the middle of the night, and changes to socializing in the middle of the night. Every time he goes home, he sees Winnie who is waiting for him and preparing midnight snacks for him, he is always satisfied.

In the next few days, Hamre frequently visited Qin Shiou and sent bills, which was the record of the expenses he and his team spent when they participated in the election. This was for every voter who provided financial support to him.

However, ordinary voters naturally only received an email and thank you letter, and did not need Hamre to visit him in person.

Qin Shiou paid attention to the campaign situation, but he couldn't focus on this matter, because the fiddling crabs in the fishing ground have been a little abnormal recently.

Fiddling crabs are a general term for many species of crab animals, with more than 100 species. The Daqin fishing grounds are mainly Atlantic sand fiddling crabs, Atlantic mud fiddling crabs, Dayantong fiddling crabs, back thorn fiddling crabs, narrow finger fiddling crabs and other species.

These little crabs look very interesting, they have a pair of matchstick-protruding eyes. They are very special.

The most special thing is that the male crab's large claws are not the same size. Generally, the right one is super large on the right one is super small on the left one. The right one is often placed on the front chest, like a warrior's shield, which looks very majestic. The female crab's large claws are the same size, so it is strange.

Fiddling crabs are different from hermit crabs. They usually live in caves. The depth of the cave is related to the groundwater level. The bottom of the cave needs to reach the wet soil.

Therefore, there are many raised small piles of sand on the beach of the fishing ground. This is a fledgling crab that feeds on sediments. They swallow the mud and sand, ingest the organic matter in it, and spit out the inedible parts out of the hole. After a long time, small protrusions will take place.

Normally, the activities of tidal crabs have certain rules as the tide rises and falls. They are hidden in the cave at the time, and after the tide is low, they go to the beach to move, eat and repair the cave.

But in recent days, the fiddling crabs in the fishing grounds no longer maintain such a regular life. No matter day and night, no matter whether the tide rises or falls, some fiddling crabs crawl out, and they look very hesitant, as if they are moving to the high ground of the beach.

There were still few at first, but on the weekend, the fiddler crabs suddenly had a big explosion, and countless small crabs crawled out of the cave and moved toward the high ground of the beach.

Seeing this scene, Shaq and the old fisherman nervously found Qin Shiou and said, "Boss, there may be a big tide, we have to prepare."

Fiddlers have a strong ability to predict tides. How strong are they? No matter what activities they are engaged in, they will stop moving ten minutes before the tide comes and return to the cave.

Not only that, the body color of this kind of crab can be changed. It will become darker when the tide is low during the day and lighter when the tide is high at night. In some places, the time of tide fluctuation will be delayed by 50 minutes every day, and the time of body color of tide crabs in that place will be delayed by 50 minutes later!

The old fishermen all know this. They will judge the tide fluctuations based on the body color changes of the tide crabs. Now tide crabs are moving to higher beaches, which is obviously because of the large tides in the ocean.

Qin Shiou also knew this, but he was extremely depressed because he had confirmed with the St. Johns Marine Meteorological Bureau several times. The Meteorological Bureau said that there have been no monsoons and large ocean currents passing by recently, and the orbit of the celestial body is also normal, and there will be no large waves.

In this way, technology and biological instincts conflict again.

The children didn't go to school on weekends and saw so many fiddling crabs appearing on the beach. They didn't even bother to play with the cold drink hut, so they ran to the beach to pick up fiddling crabs and played the game of fighting crabs.

The little guys, tiger, leopard, bear and wolf, also ran around and played around. Xiong Da is indeed a veritable foodie. While running, he stuffed fiddly crabs into his mouth. It can eat this thing with relish.

Qin Shiou followed him to the beach and observed these abnormal crab groups. (To be continued)
