    You can't eat dried bonito on the same day, and the roasting process takes at least two days, or even more, but the essence of the bonito gravy comes out. Qin Shiou uses it to mix with cold dishes at night. It tastes much better than light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and vinegar.  .

    Snowflakes kept floating. Qin Shiou looked at the pure white world outside and sighed. It was really a snow disaster this time. Although his hometown is in the north, it is relatively south, so he has never seen such heavy snow.

    Qin Shiou had nothing to do, so he drove the snowplow to clean the access to the fishing ground every now and then. Growing up in the family also had its problems. For example, clearing the snow was a big problem.

    On the fourth day of snow, Qin Shiou's cell phone rang. When he saw it was Hamre's call, he answered the call and asked what was going on.

    Hamre asked about his current situation and Winnie's health, and then said: "St. Johns has a traditional project, which is that after a natural disaster, a four-town charity auction will be held. This time it will be this Saturday.  , are you interested?"

    Qin Shiou is actually not very interested. He doesn¡¯t have a strong sense of belonging to Canada. He feels that his life is over once he manages to get rid of this three-acre piece of land in Farewell Town.

    However, the focus of this kind of small town charity auction is not how much money to donate, but how everyone shows their love, so even though he has no interest, he still said he would participate on Saturday.

    As for the things he wants to auction, besides black pearls, what else is there?  He chose six soybean-sized black pearls, which are of great value because they are all top-quality black pearls. Even if they are small, each one is worth more than 10,000 Canadian dollars.

    When Auerbach learned that he was going to participate in the Four Towns Auction, he explained the origin of the auction to him, saying that it was really appropriate for him to participate because this charity auction was actually initiated by his second grandfather Qin Hongde.

    The charity auction appeared in 1980. That year, St. Johns suffered the worst typhoon in decades. There were countless victims, the city government was somewhat unable to provide rescue, and the post-disaster reconstruction was very slow.

    Even cities have been unable to receive rescue, and remote towns naturally lack rescue resources. Many people's houses were destroyed. There was heavy rain after the typhoon, and many people were homeless and could only hide in stations, cafes, etc.  public area.

    So Qin Hongde called on the bourgeoisie of Farewell Town to hold a charity auction to rescue the homeless and at least ensure their accommodation and food.

    After Qin Hongde issued the call, he immediately received responses from some wealthy people in Farewell Town, and his appeal was quite powerful. In addition to Farewell Town, there were also some capitalists in McCain Town, Ted Town, and Little Bear Town who also responded.  .

    This is the origin of the Four Towns Charity Auction, because the people who initially participated in the auction came from these four towns.

    "Your grandpa auctioned the yacht he just bought. I still remember his words at the auction, 'Some people can't even drink hot soup, how can I still sail a yacht to have fun?' It's really touching.  ." Auerbach said with emotion.

    Later, the four-town charity auction became bigger and bigger. Whenever there was a severe natural disaster in St. John's, someone would initiate this auction. The number of participants increased from four towns to six towns, eight towns, and then  The whole city, now the whole province.

    After figuring out the situation of the auction, Qin Shiou thought about it. In this way, he was actually the protagonist. The four black pearls were not very good, so he replaced them with seven, and named the black pearls, Monday to Sunday.  , among which Sunday is a large black pearl the size of a peanut, with a total value of more than 100,000 Canadian dollars.

    Auerbach said this is not necessary, as long as he can show up and show his love.

    Qin Shiou said: "It doesn't matter, I just want to accumulate virtue for my child. I hope everything will be safe before he is born, and that he and Wei Ni will be safe."

    The snow lasted really long enough. On Saturday, there were still light snowflakes falling, and the snow thickness was already more than half a meter. All airports in Newfoundland were closed, and 9% of the highways were closed.  ten!

    Qin Shiou watched the news at night and saw that the roofs of some slum houses were collapsed by snow. A birch tree in front of the St. John's City Hall was also toppled by snow. Qin Shiou was also drunk. The power of the snow was too great.  Stronger.

    On Saturday, many people from Qin Shiou took a boat to St. John's. This charity auction is a national one. Shaq and others were also invited. Of course, it was not Hamley who invited them.  A total of more than a hundred people came to the town, some to take pictures, and some to take pictures with them.

    Canadian people have a strong sense of charity. For example, little Hughes is an anarchist supporter. He usually laughs and laughs but has no business. This time he participated in the charity auction.?He wore a thick Sioux-style belt with a gold buckle.

    Qin Shiou had seen this belt in a grocery store before. Hughes didn't put a price on it. He just displayed it and collected it himself.

    The auction will be held at the Basilica of Christ the Baptist in St. John's, which is also the most spectacular and majestic church in the entire province of Newfoundland. It is located on the top of a mountain overlooking the entire city.

    The church was built in 1855. Its appearance is similar to that of an Italian Romanesque church. It is made of limestone and granite, with twin spiers. The interior is luxurious and gorgeous. The 65 glass windows are all colored, and each window has a classic biblical story painted on it.

    There are exquisite reliefs on the ceiling, and the color is a blend of gold, maroon and dark green. The interior is tall and empty, full of majesty.

    It was the first time Qin Shiou came, and there were already many participants waiting inside. Some priests in black robes acted as service staff, guiding some interested people to visit, and others were providing hot drinks and snacks.

    After Auerbach appeared, an old pastor in his 70s or 80s came up to him and started with the words "God bless you". The old pastor smiled and said: "Old man, I'm so happy to see you here. We  How long have we not seen each other?¡±

    "Five years, right?" Auerbach smiled. He pulled out Qin Shiou affectionately and said, "This is Bishop Cabot Saranaha, a devout servant of God and the brother and father of believers. He is a good man.  "

    Qin Shiou stood in awe and bowed to Cabot.

    Cabot looked at Qin Shiou carefully and said, "You are, oh, God, I guessed it right, you are a descendant of Ade, right?"

    Qin Shiou estimated that Ade was his second grandfather Qin Hongde. He nodded and said: "Yes, Bishop, I am the grandson of Mr. Qin Hongde."

    Cabot stepped forward, held his face with both hands and took a closer look, and sighed: "Actually, you are very similar. You are really similar. I didn't recognize him at first sight! I am old and my memory has faded. At that time, I  The first time I met Ade, he was a big boy like you."

    Qin Shiou smiled awkwardly, he was almost middle-aged, why was he still called a big boy?  But the old man in front of me is in his 70s or 80s, so it¡¯s okay for people to call him a big boy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
