Easy Tycoon

Chapter 423 Aunt Mary
St. Johns, located on the Avalon Peninsula in the east of Newfoundland, is the capital and largest city of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, and the city is also the easternmost city in North America.

Because of the important location, since the seventeenth century of the last century, the British and the French have been brainwashed by the people of this city, and pirates also come to join in the fun from time to time, and the city is isolated overseas, Soldiers, businessmen, local aborigines, adventurers, pirates, and sailors have been mixed for a long time. Slowly, the city has a rebellious, fierce, and rough style.It is because the residents here have been fighting with the sea, people, and the weather all year round, so they have developed a desperate spirit.

Although the people here are rebellious, fierce and rough, and even dare to work hard, if you come here with a friendly attitude, then you will be welcomed by this city, otherwise, you will struggle in this city.

This is a city mixed with various styles and spirits, but it is also a city with extremely beautiful scenery.The beautiful scenery and delicious food are the biggest features of this city.

The huge Blue Whale anchored on the sea about three kilometers from the exit of the Gulf of Newfoundland, and then, except for more than a dozen crew members who stayed on board, the remaining 26 people all boarded the large assault boat that came with the ship.

This kind of assault boat is made of Hypalon material. The price of a single boat is more than 26 US dollars, and one boat can accommodate fourteen people.The Blue Whale is equipped with a total of two such assault boats, and [-] people can be pulled away at once.

After putting on the life jackets on the boat, Yang Jing and the others boarded the assault boat and rushed towards St. Johns Bay, which was three kilometers away.

When approaching St. Johns Bay, you can clearly see that the entrance of the bay is about 300 meters wide. The mountains at the north and south corners guard this small bay like two door gods.

St. Johns Bay is actually the mouth of a small river called the Waterford River.As a result of crustal movement, the Waterford River, which is less than 500 kilometers long and less than ten meters wide, forms a bay with a width of about [-] meters and a depth of nearly three kilometers at the mouth of the sea, forming a pole. A good safe haven.

No wonder the French and the British fought for the city.Such a good natural harbor is enough to make those greedy colonists fight desperately.

When the Newfoundland fishing grounds were not banned, St. Johns was a famous fishing port in North America and even the world. The fish transferred from this city accounted for 3% of the global fish catch at its peak.

This is a rather scary number.There are countless seaside ports in the world, but this port city with a permanent population of less than 20, at its peak, can account for one-thirtieth of the world's annual catch output. This can only be described as miraculous. city.

It's a pity that with the destruction of the Newfoundland fishing grounds, this once glorious city has now fallen into silence.The tight St. Johns Bay, which was once congested by many fishing boats, now hardly sees any fishing boats.

There used to be a pungent fishy smell in the air, but now there is only a faint smell of sea water.

When the two assault boats sailed into St. Johns Bay, they could see the Signal Hill National Historical Memorial Park on the north shore of the bay from a distance. The Cabot Tower in the park echoed the Fort Amherst Lighthouse in the south corner. Guide the way home for those who have traveled far.

After entering the bay area, the two assault boats did not reach the end of the bay, but started to dock northward after driving less than 1.5 kilometers forward, and stopped at a pier on the north shore of the bay.

This pier is a private pier, not big, with only six small berths.The pier is a Canadian-style restaurant named "Aunt Mary" on the north shore of the bay. This restaurant is very famous in St. Johns, and is famous throughout St. Johns for its authentic Canadian seafood feast.

When Gege came to St. Johns that year, he ate a seafood dinner at Aunt Mary’s restaurant, and that meal made Gege miss it for six years.
While on board, Greg made reservations for a table at Aunt Mary's restaurant through a satellite phone.After Yang Jing and the others walked from the assault boat to the pier, they saw a fat lady weighing more than 200 kilograms standing at the door of the restaurant waiting for them.

"Hey, Aunt Mary, do you still remember me? That little girl from the East?" After seeing this large aunt, Grid smiled and greeted her.

"Wow, I didn't expect to see you again, my dear Sophia Bai. Of course I still remember you, a beautiful oriental girl like you, how could Aunt Mary not remember? Sophia, welcome to Aunt Mary's Restaurant again , I have prepared the freshest and most delicious seafood for you, I guarantee you will like it."

Yang Jing was a little surprised by the memory of Aunt Mary. He really didn't expect that Ge Ge had only had a meal here six years ago, and only contacted him by phone in the morning. Remember grid.

Ge Ge said with a smile: "Aunt Mary does not refer to the aunt in front of me. Although she is also called Aunt Mary, the real Aunt Mary is her grandmother. This restaurant has a history of more than 60 years and is very famous in the local area. After Aunt Mary's grandmother passed away, her mother became a new generation of Aunt Mary. Now, she is Aunt Mary. When I came last time, it was this Aunt Mary who received me. When I left that time, I also left her a set of domestic porcelain Fuwa souvenirs. So when I mentioned it on the phone this morning, Aunt Mary immediately thought of me."

Yang Jing nodded with a smile. This is the case in European and American countries. A store can easily be inherited for decades or even hundreds of years.

The size of this restaurant is not small, it is a three-story building.After Yang Jing and his 26 people entered the restaurant, they were immediately welcomed up to the second floor.Aunt Mary had obviously already made sufficient preparations, and had set aside a special area for them on the second floor.

Yang Jing and the others came a bit early, before the normal meal time.But Aunt Mary had already prepared it. As soon as Yang Jing and the others sat down, all kinds of seafood were quickly brought up.

It is no wonder that Aunt Mary is so enthusiastic. Although her restaurant is very famous in St. Johns, St. Johns now is not the St. Johns half a century ago.The ban on fishing in Newfoundland's fishing grounds caused the city to decline quickly, and the cost of living in the city was not high.

Usually, although many people come to eat here, the consumption level is not high, and the average cost per person is only a few tens of Canadian dollars.After all, her restaurant is not a Michelin star restaurant.

But this time Yang Jing invited the crew to eat a seafood feast, and the cost would be high.

In Ge Ge's words, she ordered meals according to the standard of five hundred dollars per person.Five hundred dollars per person is enough to eat a meal at a Michelin three-star restaurant in New York.This kind of consumption, in this very ordinary restaurant, is a sky-high consumption.

Although the fishing grounds in Newfoundland are closed, local people can still get a certain amount of fish from the waters of Newfoundland.After all, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to drink water. If even the locals are not allowed to fish, what do you let these people eat?
Of course, the restrictions on this kind of fishing are also very strict, whether in terms of quantity or other aspects, there are strict restrictions.

As a long-established seafood restaurant, Aunt Mary's Restaurant naturally has its own channels to obtain the freshest fish, so the seafood that Yang Jing and the others ate today is extremely fresh.Many seafoods are even alive and kicking before they are cooked.
There is enough seafood and enough wine. Although it is not a top-notch drink, what this kind of dinner needs more is an atmosphere.

The attitude of these crew members towards Yang Jing and his wife is better now. The night before yesterday they treated them with Australian Wagyu beef and other top ingredients, and they are invited to a seafood feast tonight. Which crew member would not like it?

These crew members are actually quite hard-working. Where did they receive such treatment when they went to sea before?In the past, when they went to sea to perform missions, they could only eat what was stored on the ship. When they were resupplied, they could only eat what they wanted to choose?Pick slowly after you get home and go ashore!You are not allowed to be picky eaters on board.

It's good now, even eating the ingredients stored on the ship is a pleasure, let alone having a seafood feast on the shore.This kind of thing is definitely something that these crew members never even thought about before going to sea.

It really is the most comfortable thing to go to sea with a rich boss.

Just like eating in the restaurant on the ship the night before, this seafood dinner tonight is also very enjoyable.

During the period, Aunt Mary also brought up a bucket of ice wine brewed by herself, which tasted very good.

This kind of ice wine is brewed from a kind of local grape, but when brewing, this kind of grape must be frosted before it can be brewed. After brewing for a while, the taste will be better.

Anyway, although the meal cost Yang Jing nearly [-] US dollars, the effect and atmosphere were excellent, at least Gege's mood improved.

Isn't it just spending money to come out to play?Why come out to play without spending money?

It took more than four hours for this meal to end. Of course, Yang Jing did not forget the crew and first officer on duty on the ship. Packs of packed seafood filled half of the assault boat.

Back on the boat, the seafood is enough for the guys on duty to have a very happy supper.
