    After eating this dinner full of Scottish style, Qin Shiou said goodbye to the Hamleys and set off on his way back.

    He still had nearly 100 million in idle funds. Qin Shiou originally planned to buy a plane, but he had too few opportunities to use it, which was too wasteful.  Now with Hamley, his funds are put to good use.

    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that Canadian politics can still be played like this. Hamley, a town mayor, is actually going to participate in the mayoral election of St. John¡¯s. It is incredible for him who is familiar with China¡¯s political promotion system.

    In fact, this is how Canadian politics works. If Qin Shiou joins a significant political party and wins support within the party, he can also run for election.  What's more, Hamley is not only the mayor of the town, but also a member of the 25-member St. Johns City Council.

    In St. John¡¯s, the city council exercises both voting and administrative powers. In other words, the city council is the city government, and the city council members are the real power managers of the government.

    This is also the difference between Canada and the United States. Local government adopts the city council system. This is an inheritance from the United Kingdom and is relatively rare in the world.

    The advantage of this system is that it can help reduce conflicts between the decision-making body and the administrative body and improve management efficiency.  But one of his shortcomings is that he lacks a mayor with absolute real power who can unify the work of all departments of the city government.

    ¡°Whether it is O¡¯Keeffe now or Hamley who may be elected in the future, they will become mayors, but their power is not that great. Everything needs to be supervised by the city council. Of course, they are the nominal commanders of the city council.

    Therefore, Hamre did not have the power to sell Farewell Island to Qin Shiou. Of course, Qin Shiou did not have so much money to buy Farewell Island.

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

    The area of ??Farewell Island is five times that of Konauk, and it even has a permanent population. How to price it?  500 million?  1 billion or 5 billion?  !

    But Qin Shiou remembered Hamre¡¯s promise. He said that if he was elected mayor, it would make him feel that Farewell Island was his private island, so that would be good.

    Back at the villa, Winnie was waiting for him in the living room, holding Little Carrot Head, watching TV. As soon as he came back, Winnie went to the kitchen and poured him a bowl of cooked hangover soup.

    This kind of hangover soup was learned by Wei Ni from her mother Qin during the Chinese New Year. It uses bighead carp head and ginger as the main ingredients, plus shredded tofu, mustard, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, and then blends it with egg white. It tastes sour and spicy.  , delicious and has sobering function.

    Qin Shiou took a sip and gave a thumbs up. In fact, he didn't drink much, but he couldn't refuse Wei Ni's kindness.

    In the past, when Qin Shiou was busy at work, he felt that it would be perfect to have a wife beside him who would put on the beauty of his sleeves in the middle of the night.  Winnie is qualified for this role, but now he no longer has to work in the middle of the night, but socializes in the middle of the night. Every time he comes home and sees Winnie waiting for him and preparing a supper for him, he is always very satisfied.

    In the next few days, Hamre frequently visited Qin Shiou and delivered bills. This was a record of the expenses he and his team spent during the campaign. This should be shown to every voter who has provided financial support to him.  of.

    However, ordinary voters naturally only received an email and a letter of thanks, and did not need to visit Hamre in person.

    Qin Shiou paid attention to the election situation, but he couldn't focus on it because the fiddler crabs in the fishing ground were a bit abnormal recently.

    Fiddler crab is a general term for many species of crabs, with more than 100 species in total. Daqin fishery mainly includes Atlantic sand fiddler crab, Atlantic mud fiddler crab, gloxinia fiddler crab, dorsal spiny fiddler crab, and narrow-fingered fiddler crab.  Tide crabs and several other species.

    This kind of little crab looks very interesting. They have a pair of protruding eyes like match sticks, which are very special.

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

    Fiddler crabs are different from hermit crabs. They usually live in caves. The depth of their burrows is related to the water table. The bottom of the cave needs to reach moist soil.

    Therefore, there are many small raised sand piles on the beach of the fishing ground. This is because the fiddler crabs feed on the sediment. They swallow the sediment, ingest the organic matter in it, and spit out the inedible parts out of the hole. After a long time, it will be fine.  Small bumps.

    Normally, the activities of fiddler crabs follow a certain pattern with the rise and fall of the tide. During high tide, they hide in caves, and after low tide, they go to the beach to move around, feed, and repair caves.

    But in recent timesToday, the fiddler crabs in the fishery no longer maintain such a routine. No matter day or night, no matter the tide rises or falls, some fiddler crabs will crawl out, and they look very hesitant, as if they are moving to a higher place on the beach.  .

    There were only a few at first, but at the weekend, the fiddler crabs suddenly had a big outbreak. Countless small crabs got out of their caves and moved busily to the heights of the beach.

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

    The fiddler crab has a very strong ability to predict the tide. How strong is it?  No matter what activity they are engaged in, they will stop and return to the cave ten minutes before the tide arrives.

    Not only that, the body color of this small crab can change. It will become darker during the low tide during the day, and lighter during the high tide at night.  In some places, the rise and fall of the tide will be delayed by 50 minutes every day, and the color change time of the fiddler crabs in that place will also be delayed by 50 minutes!

    Veteran fishermen all know this. They will judge the rise and fall of the tide based on the changes in the body color of the fiddler crabs. Now the fiddler crabs are moving to higher beaches, apparently because they have judged that there will be a large tide in the ocean.

    Qin Shiou also understands this, but he is extremely depressed because he has 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 orbits of the stars are normal, and there will be no large waves.

    In this way, technology and biological instincts conflict again.

    Children don¡¯t go to school on weekends. When they see so many fiddler crabs on the beach, they don¡¯t even bother to play in the cold drink hut. Instead, they run to the beach to pick up fiddler crabs and play crab fighting games.

    The little guys, tiger, leopard, bear and wolf, also ran around and played. Xiong Da was indeed a real foodie. He stuffed fiddler crabs into his mouth while running, and he could eat all these things with gusto.

    Qin Shiou followed to the beach to observe these crabs that behaved abnormally.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
