Golden Fishery

Today is not a day off, so the handover was very fast. Qin Shiou was not short of money, but the landlord was eager to make a move.

One thing he valued about this house was that the interior decoration style of the house was luxurious but restrained. Winnie liked this style, and it could be used directly without further decoration.

Therefore, this house can be moved in with bags, as long as the quilt and kitchen utensils are replaced.

Zhong Dajun and Mao Weilong helped Qin Shiou clean up the house, and a group of fishermen also came to help. Cleaning up was simple and quick, and the focus was on cleaning, putting some useless and unnecessary things at the door.

The small building is not a residential area surrounded by walls, but a single-family apartment. The entrance is the street, but not the main road, so it will not be very noisy, and it can be regarded as a quiet place.

Qin Shiou folded the quilt and put it in a box, with a label on it. The space quilt was priced at ten Canadian dollars, and it said: The quilt is clean and used less often.

In addition, there are those tableware that look brand new, which he also packed and put at the door. The price of the label paper is very low. The most expensive multi-function oven is only fifty yuan, and if it is brand new, at least one Thousands.

Zhong Dajun asked strangely: "Why don't you sell second-hand? With such a low price, you might as well throw it away as garbage."

Qin Shiou smiled and said: "This is selling second-hand goods. If you want to find a special second-hand consignee, sorry, St. Johns does not have it, only those big cities like Toronto have it. These second-hand goods are placed at the door and processed at low prices, mainly It is convenient for some low-income people, and they will buy it back and use it when they meet the right one.”

Mao Weilong also explained to him: "Lao Jia is different from us Chinese. Sometimes he doesn't want face, and sometimes Bel wants face. As for second-hand products, unless they really need them, they usually buy new ones, and they don't have the concept of saving money to live. .These people are so wasteful.”

For Canadians, it is more troublesome to deal with obsolete daily necessities. If it is handed over to the state for disposal, it will cost money, the cost of waste disposal. Therefore, it is generally sold at the door, one is to generate income, the other is to facilitate people in need, and the third is to save money.

If no one buys it in the end, it will usually be sent to the store designated by the charity, and they will choose what they think is useful for sale. The money from the cheap sale goes to charity work.

The things Qin Shiou put out are basically good products, and the bedding and the like are brand new. According to the landlord, no one has used it yet, but he can't use second-hand bedding for Winnie and the children, let alone second-hand tableware, so All have to be disposed of.

He basically believed what the landlord said,

He can't guarantee whether the quilt has been used, but it should not have been washed, and the space can be seen before and after being washed.

Appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators were also brought out. Some of them are of high power. Qin Shiou had to replace them with environmentally friendly appliances to prevent excessive radiation from affecting the health of Wei Ni and the child.

Zhong Dajun looked at these brand-new home appliances with cheap labels and threw them outside. With a painful expression on his face, he sighed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Anyway, my current thinking is **** why did I encounter such a good thing in China? These washing machines and refrigerators are so high-end. It costs tens of thousands of dollars, right? Just sell it for a few hundred dollars?"

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, it's convenient for those who need it. Besides, what's so funny about it? You'll make money in the future, and you'll have the same attitude when dealing with second-hand goods."

Zhong Dajun shook his head and sighed: "Then how rich do I have to be to do this?"

Soon some people were attracted by the daily necessities outside the apartment, and the first couple to buy them were a Caucasian couple. After looking at the refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, juicer, electric oven and other electrical appliances, they immediately paid for Zhong Dajun next to him.

Qin Shiou saw that although the couple were white. But the complexion was slightly darker, and the facial contours were not like the white people you can see everywhere in St. Johns. His eyes and hair were also black, so he asked, "Excuse me, are you Syrian?"

The man looked at him vigilantly and said, "Sir, we are legal immigrants."

This is tantamount to defaulting to Syrians. Qin Shiou smiled friendly and said: "St. Johns has an aid program. If you are a Syrian immigrant within one year, you can enjoy a 50% discount on the purchase of second-hand supplies. Just half the money."

Syria is currently in civil strife, and hundreds of thousands of refugees are flocking to the border. The United States and Europe have been negotiating how to solve the immigration problem. But the big gangsters in the United States are usually very good at fooling the younger brothers, so they will be shameless and directly say that they do not accept refugees. Canada followed in the footsteps of its big brother, who also did not accept, but liberalized conditions for Syrian immigrants.

The Syrian couple should have immigrated here temporarily. They don't have much money. Because of the civil unrest and war, their assets have been frozen in the country and cannot be brought out. Some provinces in Canada have formulated preferential policies for Syrian immigrants, and many non-governmental organizations have also participated. The Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance has joined such policies.

The man smiled awkwardly, and fell silent after paying the money, as if his self-esteem had been hurt. But he didn't refuse. Instead, he had a relaxed expression on his face. It was obvious that he didn't have much money, and even if he bought these second-hand daily necessities at a low price, it was quite difficult.

Qin Shiou helped him find a moving company, and moved the electrical appliances and furniture there. The man hugged him and thanked him, and then became interested in chatting, asking where they immigrated from.

Qin Shiou said that they came from China, and the Syrian couple showed envious expressions on their faces. The man said: "China, I have been there, I was working on the railway project, and I have visited your country. You are very powerful, such a big country, so many people. Population, but no internal wars, conflicts of faith, your leadership is great."

Zhong Dajun couldn't understand the man's vague English accent, so he asked Mao Weilong. After Mao Weilong translated for him, he smiled wryly and said, "Come on, our political party and leaders are also envied by foreigners? If I go back and tell my buddies, they will designate me as nonsense."

Before coming to St. John's, Qin Shiou complained a lot in domestic life, especially the crazy housing prices and medical problems. But after going abroad, I found that among the immigrants, the situation of the Chinese is relatively good. Chinese immigrants are in pursuit of a better life and environment, while immigrants from some countries have to immigrate and cannot survive in their countries.

During the four or five years of hard work abroad, Qin Shiou has matured a lot, and he no longer judges the state power and political parties without authorization. But when it comes to maintaining stability, there is indeed nothing in the world that can compare with China. (To be continued.)
