St.
John's, located on the Avalon Peninsula in the eastern part of Newfoundland, is the capital and largest city of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, and the easternmost city in North America.
Because of the important geographical location, since the 17th century of the last century, the British and French have been beating the brains of the people of the city into dog brains, and pirates also come from time to time to join in the fun, plus the city is lonely overseas, soldiers, merchants, local natives, adventurers, pirates, and sailors have been mixed for a long time, slowly, the city has a rebellious, fierce, rough style.
It is also because the residents here fight with the sea, people, and the weather all year round, so they have developed a desperate spirit.
The people here may be unruly, fierce and even daring, but if you come here with a friendly attitude, then you will be welcomed by the city, otherwise, you will struggle in the city.
It's a city with a mix of styles and spirits, but it's also a city with great scenery.
The city's beauty and never-ending food are the city's best features.
The huge Blue Whale dropped anchor about three kilometres from the exit of the Gulf of Newfoundland, and then exited the dozen or so crew members who remained on board, and the rest of the twenty-six men boarded the ship's large assault boat.
This kind of assault boat is made of Hypalun material, and the price of a single boat is more than 50,000 US dollars, and one can carry 14 people.
The Blue Whale was equipped with a total of two such assault boats, and twenty-six people could pull them all away at once.
After the life jackets on the boat, Yang Jing and the others got into the assault boat, and then rushed to St.
John's Bay, three kilometers away.
When approaching St.
John's Bay, you can clearly see that the entrance to this bay is about 300 meters wide, and the mountains at the north and south corners guard this not spacious bay like two door gods.
St.
John's Bay is actually the estuary of a small river called the Waterford River.
As a result of the movement of the earth's crust, the Waterford River, which is less than 20 kilometers long and less than 10 meters wide, has formed a bay at the mouth of the sea with a width of about 500 meters and a depth of nearly 3 kilometers, forming an excellent sheltered bay.
No wonder the French and British fought for the city.
Such a good natural harbor is enough for those greedy colonists to fight desperately.
At that time, when the Newfoundland fishing grounds were not closed to fishing, St.
John's was a famous fishing port in the whole of North America and even the world, and the fish transferred from the city once accounted for 3% of the world's fish catch at its peak.
That's a pretty scary number.
There are countless ports near the sea in the world, but this port city with a resident population of less than 200,000 can only account for one-thirtieth of the world's annual fish production at its peak, which can only be described as magical.
Unfortunately, with the destruction of Newfoundland's fishing grounds, this once-beautiful city has now fallen into silence.
St.
John's Bay, which was once congested with many fishing boats, is now almost nowhere to be seen.
What used to be a pungent smell of fish in the air is now a faint smell of seawater.
As the two assault boats sailed into St.
John's Bay, they could see the Signal Hill National Historic Park on the north shore of the bay, where the Cabot Tower and the Amorghurstburg Lighthouse in the south corner echoed each other, guiding the voyagers home.
After entering the bay area, the two assault boats did not reach the end of the bay, but after driving less than 15 kilometers, they began to dock north, and docked at a pier on the north shore of the bay.
The marina is a private marina with only six small berths.
The marina is a Canadian-style restaurant on the north shore of the bay called "Aunt Mary", which is very famous in St.
John's and is famous for its authentic Canadian seafood throughout St.
John's.
When Gege came to St.
John's that year, it was at this Aunt Mary's restaurant that he had a seafood dinner, and that meal made Gege remember it for six years While on the ship, Gege booked a table 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 more than 200 pounds standing at the door of the restaurant waiting for them from a distance.
"Hey, Aunt Mary, do you remember me?
The little girl from the East?
After seeing this aunt with full tonnage, Gege smiled and greeted him.
"Wow, I didn't expect to see you again, my dear Sophia White.
Of course I remember you, a beautiful oriental girl like you, how could Aunt Mary not remember?
Sophia, welcome back to Aunt Mary's Restaurant, I have prepared the freshest and most delicious seafood for you, and I promise you will all enjoy it. ” Yang Jing was a little surprised by this Aunt Mary's memory, he really didn't expect that Gege had just had a meal here six years ago, and he just contacted him by phone in the morning, and this Aunt Mary could still remember Gege.
Gege smiled and said: "Aunt Mary is not referring to the aunt in front of her, although she is also called Aunt Mary, but the real Aunt Mary is her grandmother.
The restaurant has been around for more than 60 years and is famous in the local area, and after the death of Aunt Mary's grandmother, her mother became a new generation of Aunt Mary, and now, she is Aunt Mary.

The last time I came, it was this Aunt Mary who received me, and when I left, I left her a set of porcelain Fuwa souvenirs from our country.
So when I mentioned it on the phone this morning, Aunt Mary immediately remembered me. ” Yang Jing smiled and nodded, European and American countries are like this, a store can easily be inherited for decades or even hundreds of years.
This restaurant is not small, it is a three-story building.
After Yang Jing and the twenty-six of them entered the restaurant, they were immediately greeted on the second floor.
Aunt Mary was clearly well prepared and had set aside an area on the second floor dedicated to them.
Yang Jing: They came a little early, and they didn't have a normal meal.
However, Aunt Mary had already prepared it, and as soon as Yang Jing and the others sat down, all kinds of seafood were quickly served.
It's no wonder that Aunt Mary is so enthusiastic, and although her restaurant is famous in St.
John's, the current St.
John's is not the St.
John's of half a century ago.
The closure of Newfoundland's fishing grounds caused the city to quickly decline, and the cost of living in the city was not high.
Although she usually has a lot of people here to eat, the consumption level is not high, and the average person is only a few dozen Canadian dollars.
After all, her restaurant is not a Michelin star.
But Yang Jing invited the crew to a seafood dinner this time, and the cost was high.
In Gege's words, she orders food on the standard of five hundred dollars per person. $500 per person is enough for a meal at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in New York.
This kind of consumption, in this very ordinary restaurant, is sky-high consumption.
Although Newfoundland fishing grounds are closed, locals can still get a certain amount of fish from Newfoundland waters.
After all, if even the locals don't let them fish, what do you let these people eat?
Of course, the restrictions on this type of fishing are also very strict, both in terms of 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 Yang Jing and the others eat today are extremely fresh.
A lot of seafood is even alive before it's cooked There is enough seafood and enough wine, although it is not a top-notch drink, but this kind of dinner is more about an atmosphere.
These crew members now have a better attitude towards Yang Jing and his family, they just treated them with Australian Wagyu beef and other top ingredients the night before, and invited them to a seafood dinner tonight, which crew member can not like it?
These crew members are actually quite hard, where did they get such treatment when they went to sea before?
In the past, when they went to sea to carry out tasks, they could only eat what was stored on the ship, and when they were replenished, they could only eat what they wanted.
Wait until you get home and go ashore, pick slowly!
You are not allowed to be a picky eater on board.
Now, it's a pleasure to eat the ingredients stored on the ship, let alone to have a seafood feast on the shore.
This kind of thing is definitely something that these crew members have never even thought about before going to sea.
Going to sea with a rich boss is really the most comfortable thing.
Just like the previous night's meal in the ship's restaurant, tonight's seafood dinner was a very hilarious meal.
During this period, Aunt Mary also brought a barrel of ice wine made by herself, which tasted extremely good.
This ice wine is made from a locally grown grape, but it must be frosted before it can be made, preferably with a sudden cold snap and a freeze before making the grapes.
Anyway, although this meal cost Yang Jing almost 20,000 US dollars, the effect and atmosphere were excellent, at least Gege's mood was better.
Isn't it just about spending money to come out and play?
Why come out and play without spending money?
The meal took more than four hours before it ended, and of course, Yang Jing did not forget the crew and first mate on duty on the ship, and bags of seafood were piled up in half of the assault boat.
Back on the boat, the seafood was enough for the guys on duty to have a rather nasty supper
