St. Johns, located on the Avalon Peninsula in the east of Newfoundland, is the capital and largest city of Newfoundland, Canada. At the same time, this city is also the easternmost city in North America.

Because of its important geographical location, since the 17th century, the British and French have become dog brains for the city's people, and pirates have come to join in the fun from time to time. In addition, the city is isolated overseas, with soldiers, businessmen, local aborigines, adventurers, pirates and sailors mixed for a long time. Slowly, the city has a kind of defiant, fierce Rugged style. It is because the residents here fight with the sea, people and the weather all the year round, so they have developed a desperate spirit.

Although the people here are rebellious, rough and even dare to work hard, if you come here with a friendly attitude, you will be welcomed by the city. On the contrary, you will have difficulties in the city.

This is a city mixed with various styles and spirits, but it is also a city with beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery and the delicious food that people will never get tired of are the biggest characteristics of the city.

The huge blue whale anchored on the sea about three kilometers away from the exit of the Gulf of Newfoundland, and then out of the more than a dozen crew members left on board, the other 26 boarded the ship's own large assault boat.

This kind of assault boat is made of hipron material. The price of a single boat is more than 50000 US dollars. One boat can take 14 people. The blue whale is equipped with two such assault boats, and 26 people can pull them away at one time.

After they got on the lifejacket, Yang Jing and his men got on the assault boat and rushed to St. John's Bay three kilometers away.

When approaching St. John's 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 the Bay like two door gods.

St. Johns Bay is actually the estuary of a small river called the Waterford river. As a result of the crustal movement, the Waterford River, which is less than 20 kilometers long and less than 10 meters wide, forms a bay with a width of about 500 meters and a depth of nearly three kilometers at the mouth of the sea, forming an excellent shelter.

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

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

This is a pretty scary number. There are countless ports near the sea in the world, but this port city with a permanent population of less than 200000 can account for one thirtieth of the world's fishing output in a year at its peak, which can only be described by magic.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of Newfoundland's fishing grounds, the once beautiful city has now fallen into silence. St. John's Bay, which was once congested by many fishing boats, can hardly see any fishing boats now.

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

When the two assault boats sail into St. John's Bay, you can see the signal Mountain National Historical Memorial Park on the North Bank of the Bay from a distance. The Cabot tower in the park echoes with the amohurst lighthouse in the south corner to guide the people who have sailed home.

After entering the bay area, the two assault boats did not reach the end of the Bay, but after driving less than 1.5 kilometers forward, they began to dock northward and docked on a wharf on the North Bank of the bay.

This wharf is a private wharf, not big, only six very small berths. The wharf belongs to a Canadian restaurant named "Aunt Mary" on the North Bank of the bay. This restaurant is very famous in St. Johns and is famous for its authentic Canadian seafood dinner.

When Greg came to St. Johns that year, she had a seafood dinner in Aunt Mary's restaurant. That meal made Greg remember it for six years

While on board, Greg booked a table at Aunt Mary's restaurant by satellite phone. When Yang Jing and his family got to the dock from the assault boat, they saw a fat aunt with a weight of more than 200 kilograms standing at the door of the restaurant waiting for them.

"Hey, Aunt Mary, do you remember me? The little girl from the east?" when she saw the big aunt, Ge Ge smiled and greeted her.

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

Yang Jing was a little surprised by Aunt Mary's memory. He really didn't expect that Ge Ge only had a meal here six years ago. In the morning, he just contacted by phone. Aunt Mary could still remember Ge Ge.

Gigg said with a smile: "Aunt Mary doesn't mean the aunt in front of her. 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 died, her mother became a new generation of Aunt Mary. Now she is aunt Mary. When I came last time, she was Aunt Mary received me. When I left, I left her a set of porcelain Fuwa souvenirs in China. So when I mentioned it on the phone this morning, Aunt Mary immediately thought of me. "

Yang Jing smiled and nodded. This is the case in European and American countries. A store can easily inherit for decades or even hundreds of years.

The restaurant is not small in size. It is a three story building. Yang Jing and twenty-six of them entered the restaurant and were immediately greeted on the second floor. Aunt Mary was obviously well prepared and opened up an area for them on the second floor.

Yang Jing, they are still a little early. They are not ready for the normal meal. But Aunt Mary was already ready. As soon as Yang Jing sat down, all kinds of seafood were quickly brought up.

No wonder Aunt Mary is so enthusiastic. Although her restaurant is famous in St. Johns, now St. Johns is not St. Johns half a century ago. The closure of Newfoundland's fishing grounds soon made the city decline, and the cost of living in the city was not high.

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

But Yang Jing invited the crew to a seafood dinner this time, and the cost was high.

In gege's words, she orders according to the standard of $500 per capita. Five hundred dollars per person is enough to have a meal at Michelin 3-star grade restaurant in New York. This kind of consumption, put in this very ordinary restaurant, is sky high consumption.

Although the Newfoundland fishing ground is closed, locals can still get a certain amount of fish from Newfoundland waters. After all, if even the local people are not allowed to fish, what do you let these people eat?

Of course, such fishing restrictions are also very strict, both in quantity and other aspects.

As a time-honored seafood restaurant, Aunt Mary's Restaurant naturally has its own channels to get the freshest fish, so the seafood they eat today is very fresh. Many seafood are even alive before they are cooked

Seafood and drinks are enough. Although they are not top-level drinks, this kind of dinner needs more atmosphere.

The crew members now have a better attitude towards the Yang Jing couple. The night before yesterday, they were just entertained with Australia, beef and other top ingredients. Tonight, they were invited to a seafood dinner. Which crew member doesn't like it?

In fact, these crew members are very hard pressed. Where have they been treated like this before when they went to sea? In the past, when they went out to sea to perform their tasks, they could only eat what was stored on the ship. When they were replenishing, they could only eat what they wanted to choose? When you get home and go ashore, pick it slowly! You are not allowed to be picky eaters on board.

It's ok now. Even if you eat the ingredients stored on the ship, it's also a pleasure, not to mention that you can dock to eat seafood. This kind of thing is definitely something that these crew members didn't even think about before going to sea.

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

Like eating in the restaurant on the ship the night before yesterday, this seafood dinner tonight was very delicious.

During this period, Aunt Mary also sent a bucket of ice wine made by herself. It tastes very good.

This kind of ice wine is brewed from a local grape, but when brewed, this kind of grape must be frosted before making wine. It's best to have a cold snap and freeze the grapes before brewing, which will taste better.

Anyway, although the meal cost Yang Jing almost $20000, the effect and atmosphere were excellent. At least gege was in a better mood.

Don't you spend money to play? Why come out without paying?

The meal lasted more than four hours before it was over. Of course, Yang Jing did not forget the crew and chief mate on duty on board. Packs of seafood piled up half of the assault boat.

Back on the boat, these seafood are enough for the guys on duty to eat a rather high-end snack
