    Now the fishing grounds of Farewell Island are depleted of resources. Only Daqin Fishing Ground has some vitality due to continuous investment.  There are three private fisheries left, and now the owners have left Farewell Island and gone to St. John's or Toronto.

    Qin Shiou must buy Mr. Ross's fishing ground in the southwest of the island and the cod hometown fishery in the west as soon as possible. The two fisheries, one is separated from the Daqin fishery and the other is close to the giant algae jungle, and the fishery resources have begun to increase.

    "If the two fishery owners know about this, it will be more troublesome for him to buy two more fisheries.

    As soon as he thought of it, Qin Shiou asked Hamley to help him contact Robinson Ross, the owner of Mr. Ross's fishery, to discuss the purchase of Mr. Ross's fishery.

    The Ross family lives in St. John's and is a relatively large local family. Like the Hughes ancestors, they also fled to Newfoundland from the United States during the American Revolutionary War.

    ¡°They were all from the upper class circles of St. John¡¯s, so it was easy for Hamley to help Qin Shiou find an opportunity.

    On August 25, there will be a gathering of Inuit people in St. John's. Robinson-Ross's wife is an Inuit, so their family will attend the gathering.  Hamre made a phone call and helped Qin Shiou get an invitation letter and asked him to take Wei Ni to the party.

    It just so happens that Qin Shiou¡¯s Tang suit is still brand new and can be worn to attend this party.

    When Wei Ni learned that she was going to attend this banquet, she took Qin Shiou to buy a dress. Many of her clothes had not yet been mailed and were waiting in the United States.

    Qin Shiou said: "Didn't you bring some beautiful dresses? You don't need to buy them, right?"

    Winnie laughed and said: "You are so cute, Qin, you can't wear those dresses to the Inuit Summer Carnival unless you don't want to do business with Mr. Ross."

    Seeing that Qin Shiou was a little confused, Wei Ni straightened his collar and explained: "August 25th is the second most important festival of the Inuit people after the March Muskrat Carnival, the Summer Carnival, also called the Seal Festival.  Carnival."

    Listening to Wei Ni¡¯s introduction, Qin Shiou understood what was going on. The Inuit people lived in the bitter cold of the Arctic. Their living environment was extremely harsh and survival was not easy.

    ??Two times a year are very important to them. One is March, when spring comes and the snow melts. At this time, they have a three-day celebration called the ¡®Muskrat Carnival¡¯.

    ??The other day is in late August, because from this time onwards, seals enter the mating season, and a large number of seals come ashore to look for mates.  Seals are an important food for the Inuit people. They will catch seals during this time, so this carnival was born.

    For the Inuit, these two festivals are particularly important, which means they can hunt and stock up on food. The Muskrat Carnival and the Seal Carnival both represent their desire for life.

    When celebrating the festival, everyone wears costumes, sings and dances. If outsiders want to participate, they are welcome, but they must wear costumes to show respect for this festival, otherwise don¡¯t blame the Inuit for being indifferent.

    Wei Ni looked at Qin Shiou and said, "You don't know the Inuit people, do you?"

    Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "I knew their other name was Eskimos"

    "God!" Winnie said anxiously, "This name must not be mentioned in front of the Inuit! They don't like to be called 'Eskimo' because this term comes from their enemy, the Algonquin Indian  In human language, it means 'people who eat raw meat', and 'Inuit' is what they call themselves, meaning 'human race'."

    Qin Shiou was very depressed. Eskimo was the name he learned from the geography textbook when he was in junior high school. I am sorry that our socialist country has never respected others.

    Winnie introduced a lot of things to Qin Shiou. The Inuit are a "minority" in Canada and have many taboos. The most common one is the title. They cannot be called "Eskimos".

    Because they believe that "human beings" are the supreme representatives of the kingdom of life, the term "raw meat eaters" is extremely insulting - what is the difference between this and beasts?

    The racial composition of Canada is a very complex issue. Let¡¯s not talk about the current immigration issue. There are three major categories of independent indigenous peoples: First Nations Indians, Metis, and Inuit.

    There are a total of 800,000 of these people, accounting for about 3% of the total population of Canada, of which 69% are First Nations, 26% are Metis, and Inuit only account for 5%.  Among them, the Inuit in St. John's have less than a thousand people and are a small race.

    But often, the smaller the number of ethnic groups, the more they value their own beliefs, culture and traditions.Once insulted, he will definitely resist fiercely.

    This is normal. People generally say that a big country has a big mind. Why?  When a country becomes bigger, has more resources, and becomes stronger, it can be confident and free-spirited, and any insult it encounters will not matter.

    Just like people, those who are very good don¡¯t care about other people¡¯s evaluations. When big guys occasionally encounter people and things that don¡¯t respect themselves outside, they just laugh it off.  On the contrary, the smaller the people are, the stronger their self-esteem is. This is also because these people often have low self-confidence.

    So on the way, Wei Ni kept emphasizing to Qin Shiou that besides discussing business, don¡¯t express your opinions easily, otherwise it will be easy to become enemies.

    In the largest clothing mall in St. John's, Wei Ni picked a handmade cheongsam from the Longfeng cheongsam store to make a dress to match Qin Shiou's Tang suit.

    The cheongsam Wei Ni chose was a long cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China, with a white base and embroidered with restrained and clear blue and white flowers.

    The blue and white of this cheongsam is not a blue flower, but a term in Chinese ceramic art, such as Yuan blue and white, blue and white porcelain, etc. In the Canadian ceramics world, blue and white is also known as China's national flower. In fact, this flower color is blue.

    Such a snow-white background and azure blue cloud patterns complement each other, full of elegance and charm. Wei Ni, who has a tall figure, put on this cheongsam, pulled up her black hair and inserted a milky white lotus hairpin, and paired it with flesh-colored crystal stockings  and sky blue fish-mouth high heels, which can only be described as shocking.

    Wei Ni walked out and turned around. The eyeballs of several men in the mall popped out. Qin Shiou kept shaking his head. Wei Ni frowned and said, "Doesn't it look good? Still don't like it?"

    ¡°No, it¡¯s unbelievable!¡± Qin Shiou said.

    Wei Ni reached out and picked Qin Shiou's chin, and said with a smile: "You have a sweet mouth, you will be rewarded when you go back."

    The owner of the Longfeng cheongsam store is a gentle young woman with exquisite makeup. When Qin Shiou paid the bill for Wei Ni, she kept asking Wei Ni if she was interested in taking promotional photos. She was impressed by Wei Ni's beauty in this cheongsam.  It was full of praise.

    Wei Ni politely refused and walked out of the mall holding Qin Shiou's arms. Regardless of gender, her return rate went up to 100%.

    Qin Shiou raised his head and chest, feeling extremely proud. He felt more dignified than driving a Porsche 918.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
