Golden Fishery

v2 Chapter 918: .Four Towns Charity Auction (3/10)

Dried bonito cannot be eaten on the same day. The roasting process takes at least two days or even more. However, the essence of bonito gravy comes out. Qin Shiou uses it to mix cold dishes at night. It tastes much better than soy sauce and soy sauce vinegar. Up.

  Snowflakes kept drifting, Qin Shiou sighed as he watched the world completely transformed into a pure white world. This time it was really a snow disaster. Although his hometown belongs to the north, it is relatively south, so he has never seen such a big snow.

  Qin Shiou was fine, so after a while, he drove a snow shovel to clean the passage of the fishery. There were some uncomfortable things when the home was big. For example, cleaning the snow was a big problem.

  On the fourth day of snowing, Qin Shiou's cell phone rang, and when he saw that it was Hamley's call, he connected and asked what was going on.

Hamley asked him about his current situation and Vinnie’s body, and then said: “St. John’s has a traditional project. After a natural disaster, there will be a four-town charity auction, this time on 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 he is finished with the three-acre land in the farewell town.

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

  As for what he wants to auction, what else is there besides black pearls? He chose six black pearls the size of soybeans. This value is large enough, because they are all top-quality black pearls. Even if they are small, one is worth more than 10,000 Canadian dollars.

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

  The charity auction appeared in 1980. That year, St. John’s suffered a major typhoon once in decades. There were countless victims, and the city government was a little weak in rescue. Post-disaster reconstruction has been very slow.

  Even cities have been unable to receive rescue for a long time. Naturally, remote towns have no access to rescue resources. Many people’s houses were destroyed. At that time, there was heavy rain after the typhoon. Many people are homeless and can only hide in public places such as stations and cafes.

  So Qin Hongde called on bid farewell to the town’s bourgeoisie to organize a charity auction to rescue the homeless, at least to ensure their accommodation and food.

After Qin Hongde issued his call, he immediately got a response from some wealthy people in Farewell Town, and his appeal was quite large. In addition to Farewell Town, some capitalists in Macka Town, Ted Town and Little Bear Town also responded. Up.

  This is the origin of the charity auction in the four towns, because the people who participated in the auction at the beginning came from these four towns.

"Your grandfather auctioned off the yacht he just bought. I still remember what he said at the auction.'There are people who can't even drink hot soup. How can I still drive the yacht out to have fun?', a really touching sentence "Auerbach sighed.

Later, the charity auctions in the four towns became bigger and bigger. As long as there were more severe natural disasters in St. John's, someone would initiate this auction. The participants grew from four towns to six towns, eight towns, and then Whole city. It is now the whole province.

After clarifying the situation of the auction, Qin Shiou thought about it, so that he was actually the protagonist. The four black pearls were not very handy. He changed to seven and named the black pearls. Monday to Sunday Among them, Sunday is a large black pearl the size of a peanut, with a total value of more than one hundred thousand Canadian dollars.

  Auerbach said that it’s not necessary, as long as you can show up and show your love.

  Qin Shiou said: "It doesn't matter. Just give my child the virtue. I hope that everything is safe before he is born, and he and Wei Ni are safe."

  The snowing time really lasted long enough, until Saturday. There are still small snowflakes falling, and the thickness of the snow is more than half a meter. All airports in Newfoundland are closed, and highways are also closed 90%!

When Qin Shiou watched the news at night, he saw that the roofs of some slum houses were crushed by snow. A birch tree in front of the St. Johns city government was also dumped by the snow. Qin Shiou was also drunk. The power of this snow was too strong. Strong.

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

The charity consciousness of the Canadian people is very strong. For example, Hughes belongs to the kind of anarchist supporter, and he usually doesn't have a right line. This time he participated in the charity auction. He brought a thick Sioux-style belt with a belt buckle. But it's gold.

  Before, Qin Shiou had seen this belt in the grocery store. Hughes didn’t put a price on it. He just showed it and collected it by himself.

  The auction is held at the Cathedral of Christ the Baptist in St. John's, which is also the most spectacular and magnificent church in Newfoundland. It is located on the top of a hill and overlooks the entire city.

  The church was built in 1855. It looks like a Romanesque church in Italy. It is limestone and granite as a whole. It has twin spires and luxurious interiors. The 65 panes of glass are all colored. Each is painted with a classic Bible story.

  There are exquisite reliefs on the ceiling. The colors are golden, maroon and dark green. The interior is tall and empty, full of majesty.

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

After Auerbach appeared, an old pastor in his seventies or eighties greeted him with an opening remark of “God bless you”. The old pastor smiled and said: “Old man, it’s so happy to see you here, we How long has it been since?"

"Five years?" Auerbach smiled, and he pulled out Qin Shiou affectionately, and said, "This is Bishop Cabot Saranaha, the brother and father of God's pious servant and believer, 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 the offspring of Adelaide, 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 and took his face with both hands to look carefully, and sighed: "You are very similar, really alike. I didn't recognize it at first sight! I am old and my memory is weakened. At that time, I was the first When I saw Ad, he was a big boy like you."

  Qin Shiou smiled awkwardly, he is almost middle-aged, why is he still called a big boy? But the old man in front of him is in his 70s or 80s, so it’s okay to say that he is a big boy. (To be continued~^~)
