Chapter 425 Aunt Mary

St. Johns, located in the Avalon Peninsula in the eastern part of Newfoundland Island, is the capital and largest city in the province of Newfoundland, Canada. At the same time, this city is also the easternmost city in the entire North America.

Because of the important geographical location, since the 17th century, the British and French have been making this city a dog-brained brain, and pirates come to join in the fun from time to time. In addition, the city is lonely overseas, soldiers, merchants, local natives, adventurers, pirates, and sailors for a long time. Gradually, the city has a rebellious, fierce and rough style. It is also because the residents here have fought with the sea, people, and the weather all year round, so they have developed a spirit of hard work.

Although the people here are rebellious, fierce and rough, even dare to fight to the death, if you come here with a friendly attitude, you will be welcomed by the city, and on the contrary, you will have a hard time in the city.

This is a city mixed with various styles and spirits, but it is also a city with extremely beautiful scenery. Beautiful scenery and food that can never be worn out are the biggest features of this city.

The huge Blue Whale anchored up and down on the sea about three kilometers away from the exit of the Gulf of Newfoundland. Then, except for the more than ten crew members who stayed on the ship, the remaining twenty-six people boarded the large assault boat they brought on the ship.

This assault boat is made of Haipalen material. The price of a single ship is more than 50,000 US dollars. One ship can take fourteen people. The Blue Whale is equipped with two such assault boats, and twenty-six people can be pulled away at once.

After the life jacket on the boat, Yang Jing and the others got on the assault boat and rushed towards St. Johns Bay, three kilometers away.

When approaching St. Johns Bay, you can clearly see that the entrance of this bay is about 300 meters wide, and the mountains at the north and south corners guard this not-so-wide bay like two door gods.

St. Johns Bay is actually the estuary of a small river called the Waterford River. Due to the crust movement, the Waterford River, which is less than twenty kilometers long and less than ten meters wide, forms a bay with a width of about five hundred meters and a depth of nearly three kilometers at the estuary, forming an excellent haven.

No wonder the French and British fought for this city back then. Such a good natural harbor was enough to make the greedy colonists fight desperately.

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

This is a very terrifying number. There are countless ports facing the sea around the world, but this port city with a permanent population of less than 200,000 can account for one-thirty of the world's catch output during its peak period. This can only be described as magical.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of Newfoundland fishing grounds, this once glorious city has now fallen into silence. St. Johns Bay, which was originally congested by numerous fishing boats, is almost impossible to see any fishing boats.

Once upon a time, the air here was full of pungent fishy smell, but now there is only a faint smell of sea water.

When two assault boats sailed into St. Johns Bay, you can see the Signal Mountain National Historical Memorial Park on the north shore of the bay from afar. The Cabert Tower in the park echoes the Amohest Fort lighthouse in the south corner, guiding the way home for those who are voyage.

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

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

When Princess came to St. Johns that year, she ate a seafood meal at this Aunt Mary's restaurant. The meal made Princess miss it for six years...

While on the boat, Princess booked a seat at Aunt Mary's restaurant via satellite phone. After Yang Jing and the others walked from the assault boat to the dock, they saw a fat aunt with a size of 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 the aunt with full tonnage, Princess smiled and greeted her.

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

The memory of this Aunt Mary surprised Yang Jing a little. He didn't expect that the Princess had just had a meal here six years ago. In the morning, he just contacted him by phone and said that the Princess Mary could still remember the Princess.

The princess smiled and said, "Aunt Mary doesn't 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 the new generation of Aunt Mary. Now, she is Aunt Mary. When I came last time, I received me. When I left that time, I left her a set of porcelain Fuwa souvenirs in our country. So when I mentioned it on the phone this morning, Aunt Mary immediately remembered me."

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

The restaurant has a large area, a three-story building. After Yang Jing and the others entered the restaurant, they were immediately welcomed to the second floor. Aunt Mary had obviously sat in full preparation and opened an area for them on the second floor.

Yang Jing and the others came a little early, and it was not yet normal meal time. However, Aunt Mary had already prepared it. As soon as Yang Jing and the others sat down, all kinds of seafood were quickly brought up.

No wonder Aunt Mary is so enthusiastic. Although her restaurant is very famous in St. Johns, the current St. Johns is not the St. Johns half a century ago. The ban on fishing in Newfoundland fishery quickly declined the city, and the cost of living in the city is not high.

Although there are many people here to eat, the consumption level is not high, and one person is only a few dozen Canadian dollars on average. After all, her restaurant is not a Michelin-starred restaurant.

But this time, Yang Jing invited the crew to a seafood meal, which cost a lot.

In the words of the princess, she ordered meals at the per capita standard of 500 US dollars. The per capita dollar is enough to have a meal at a three-star Michelin restaurant in New York. This kind of consumption, if you put it in this very ordinary restaurant, it is a sky-high consumption.

Although fishing in Newfoundland fishery is banned, locals can still obtain a certain number of fish catches from the Newfoundland waters. After all, if you rely on the mountains to eat, what will you let these people eat?

Of course, the restrictions on this kind of fishing are also very strict, and there are strict restrictions in terms of quantity and other aspects.

As a time-honored seafood restaurant, Aunt Mary Restaurant naturally has its own channels to get the freshest fish harvest, so the seafood Yang Jing and the others eat today is extremely fresh. Many seafood are even lively before they are cooked...

There is enough seafood pipes and enough wine pipes. Although it is not a top-notch wine, this kind of dinner party requires more of an atmosphere.

The crew members are now more polite to Yang Jing and his wife. The night before yesterday, they just treated them with Australian beef and other top ingredients, and invited them to a seafood meal tonight. Which crew member wouldn’t like it?

These crew members are actually quite hard-working. How did they receive such treatment when they went to sea before? In the past, when they went to sea for missions, they could only eat what they stored on the boat. When they were replenishing supplies, they could only eat what they could eat. Want to pick them? After they got home and got ashore, they would pick them slowly! You are not allowed to pick food on the boat.

Now, it's good that even eating the ingredients stored on the boat is a pleasure, let alone being able to dock and have a seafood meal. This kind of thing is definitely something these crew members never even thought about before going to sea.

Following the rich boss to go out to sea is indeed the most comfortable thing.

Just like eating in the restaurant on the boat the night before yesterday, this seafood meal tonight was also very exciting.

During this period, Aunt Mary also brought a bucket of ice wine she made herself, which tasted very good.

This ice wine is made of locally produced grapes, but when brewing, the grapes must be frosted before they can be made. It is best to have a sudden cold wave and freeze the grapes before making them, and the taste will be even better.

Anyway, although this meal cost Yang Jing about 20,000 US dollars, the effect and atmosphere were excellent, at least the princess was in a better mood.

Isn’t it just a matter of spending money when you come out to play? Why don’t you come out to play without spending money?

The meal lasted for more than four hours. Of course, Yang Jing did not forget the crew and first mate on duty on the ship. Packs of seafood piled up half of the assault boat.
