"Fisheries Bureau?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on, and then they started whispering to each other.
"Will the Fisheries Bureau take care of this fish?"
"What did they do with the fish?"
"Does it work?"
"Who knows? What if an official finds it strange and keeps it for research?"
“Does this fish still need to be studied?”
"Who knows? The brains of educated people are different from ours..."
When Ah Cai heard Ye Yaodong say to contact the Fisheries Bureau, he thought about it for a moment and felt that it was feasible.
"That's a good idea. If they can't be sold and no one wants them, don't waste them. Contact someone and donate them. It's better than throwing them back into the sea."
"Donate?"
"If you don't donate it, do you want to sell it? Sell it to the government? You're overthinking it. You can only hope that after you donate it, they will give you some subsidies. They can hope that they will give you more subsidies and give you a banner to show your honor."
"Well… "
Ye Yaodong patted their shoulders and said, "Just like when I donated the bronze tripod, I'll just get some consolation, that's enough. Besides, your thing is so ugly, and no one knows what it is. No one wants it."
"Donating it will save you the trouble of not knowing what to do with it. It took a lot of effort to drag it back. You can't just throw it away like that, right? Just donate it directly."
The Zhou brothers looked at each other, and all felt that it was difficult to deal with.
The middle-aged man with the mustache also said, "It's good to donate it. To be honest, no one wants your stuff. It looks rare and fresh, but it's too ugly. I don't know if it's edible. If you can contact the Fisheries Bureau and have them come and take it away, that's fine."
Boss Zhou sighed, "Alas, that's all we can do. It's already night and dark, so we can't call until tomorrow... By the way, do you have a phone?"
Ye Yaodong spread his hands and said, "No, who has that phone number? You can go to the village committee tomorrow and ask the cadres what the number is."
"Or maybe someone from the newspaper came here before? Why not just call the newspaper and ask? The newspaper has more connections, so they must know the number of the Fisheries Bureau, right?"
Ah Cai nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "You know quite a lot, don't you? You really have an active mind."
No wonder you can make a lot of money!
"Anyone with a brain can think of this, right? Or have you lost your memory?"
"I'm praising you."
“I didn’t feel it.”
Ah Cai glared at him, then shook his head and looked at the villagers who were still whispering around him.
"Let's disperse. Let's disperse. If they can't be sold, they're useless. We can only wait until tomorrow to call and donate them. It's late now. Everyone should go home and sleep. Don't gather here."
"Oh oh ~ disperse ~"
"Let's go, let's go home, it's a waste of time... I thought I could sell it for a lot of money..."
"Are you obsessed with money? I've already told you that no one will want it..."
"It's good to take a look. At least you can see what the sea monster looks like..."
"Yeah, it broadens my horizons. Otherwise, I would have only heard people talk about it and never knew what it looked like..."
…
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the villagers walked back in groups of three or four, chatting.
The three people that Acai called also said goodbye and rode away on their bicycles.
There were only a dozen people left at the scene, namely the relatives of the Zhou brothers. Ye Yaodong also planned to ride his bicycle back. Anyway, he had watched the fun and given suggestions, and it was none of his business now.
"Wait, wait, Adong, don't leave yet. Help me move it later. It's too big."
"ah?"
And ask him to help move!
!
He looked down at the bicycle he was already sitting on, then raised his eyes to the front door of his house. It was quite far away. Should he be asked to help move it
Damn, I was a step too slow!
He quickly grabbed A Guang who was about to run away and said, "Wait a minute, they're calling us for help..."
We can't leave him alone and get himself half killed.
Ah Guang's face darkened instantly, and he stared at him, wanting to kill him with his eyes, as if to say "Let me go", or "I called you, not me".
Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes, holding on tightly, silently responding to him with his eyes, "I was left here to help, and you can't run away!"
The two of them communicated with each other face to face with their eyes, loving and hating each other, and neither of them gave in!
Zhou Da, who was standing by, said to Ah Cai, "This thing is so big and heavy, it's not convenient for us to drag it back. Your goods were shipped away tonight, and the shed is empty. Can you lend it to us to store it?"
"Don't leave it outside. What if someone is jealous of us and deliberately comes to destroy it? We can't stay up all night and watch it..."
It turns out that as long as the items are carried to the purchasing point and locked up instead of being carried home, then there will be no problem.
A small thing is just a small step.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang both withdrew their gazes at the same time, pretending nothing had happened. He even touched his pocket and pulled out a cigarette for A Guang...
A Guang took the cigarette and got off his bicycle, intending to help carry the load. It was just a short section, so it was simple and easy.
The two of them should stand side by side, smoke together, in harmony...
Ah Cai nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, okay... we should be good people to the end, so just carry it inside and put it there. But the traps will be back at noon tomorrow, and I need to collect them, so you have to move them out then."
"Of course. We'll just borrow it for one night. If we have to go out to sea at night, we'll ask our family to come and help move it out tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then all of you come over and help lift it. Wait... I need to move all the goods out first, otherwise when the truck arrives later, the goods will be stuck inside and can't get out."
"Okay, let us help you move the goods out first."
The Zhou brothers rolled up their sleeves and went to move into the hut first.
Ye Yaodong didn't move until he finished his cigarette. There were so many strong men anyway, so he just waited for them to help move the sea monster.
Ah Cai was also watching from the side, muttering quietly, "What a hassle, I wonder if the Fisheries Bureau will accept it?"
"I think so."
Marine life research must have been ongoing all the time, and if they come across something rare, they will definitely collect it, right
Once the Fisheries Bureau learns about this, they will probably contact and send it away, which will also enhance the country's research on marine life.
I heard that in this era, RB has already surpassed all other countries in the development of the ocean.
Acai watched them carry the things and was not prepared to lend a hand. Since they were using his territory, he would not contribute.
He was free, so he asked Ye Yaodong curiously, "Have you posted any shops in your city for rent?"
"I have posted it. You all have posted it, so I must post it for rent as well. Otherwise, how can I have the time to run to the city again and again?"
However, he only posted a notice for renting a second shop at the door of shop No. 12.
The location of the first store was so good that he wanted to keep it for now and wait a few days to see if his father-in-law would be willing to go there.
If you don't agree, then we can only rent it out together.
Ah Guang asked him quickly, "You rented out both? Why not keep one on hand? Aren't your dried fish selling well now? Why not keep one and sell dried fish?"
"Will you help me look after the shops in the city?"
"How is that possible? I have so much work to do at home."
"That's it. If no one is watching the store, how can I chop myself in half? Let's think about it after the Chinese New Year. It's almost Chinese New Year."
"Well, let's at least finish the New Year first."
While they were chatting for a while, all the baskets of goods in Acai's hut were carried out and placed at the door.
They quickly put out their cigarettes, rolled up their sleeves and helped carry the sea monster in.
After helping, they went back to their homes.
Ye Yaodong also told A Qing and the old lady what happened outside the dock.
"It would be nice if they could donate it, at least their work wasn't in vain, and the company would at least give them some subsidies."
The old lady smiled and said, "You are really smart. Otherwise, who would have thought of donating it to the Fisheries Bureau? If no one wants it, most people would just throw it back into the sea."
"Didn't you donate it once before? So I thought that you should also want it, right? Let's try it out. Anyway, we can ask the village cadres for help, or the newspaper."
"Well, don't talk about others. Take a shower and warm up. The sleeves of your cotton-padded jacket are still wet. Don't catch a cold."
"I'll take it off later, and you can hang it by the door to dry it in the wind. It looks like you can still go out to sea at night."
"good."
Each person in the family had only two or three cotton-padded jackets, and no more were made. Lin Xiuqing wondered whether she should take apart the two children's old cotton-padded jackets and use them to sew another one for him to wear when working.
He only had one old, tattered cotton-padded jacket, which was inconvenient to change and wash. Of course, he was reluctant to wear the new one he made last year or this year to work.
It just so happened that the two children were growing up day by day, and their cotton-padded jackets and trousers were not long enough, so the older one was eliminated and given to the younger one. She originally wanted to leave the younger one for Xiaojiu to wear.
Now, before the New Year, I can take apart their old cotton-padded clothes and trousers and sew a cotton-padded jacket for Adong to wear when he works.
We have some extra money this year, and there is some leftover cloth at home, so I can buy each of my two children a new cotton-padded jacket so they don't have to have snot hanging around their faces all day.
Lin Xiuqing was thinking about it and searched the closet overnight, intending to ask the old lady to help her take it down tomorrow as she still had some sweaters to knit.
At night, everyone went to the dock as usual. The tide was about to rise, so everyone waited there and chatted for a while.
Today's topic, of course, revolves around the sea monster that appeared at night. Everyone feels a little regretful that they went out to sea at night, and they won't be able to see how they deal with the sea monster tomorrow.
You can't watch the important people coming at home, and you can't get the first-hand information on the spot. You can only listen to other people's reports.
Ye Yaodong was the same. He also wanted to know whether the Fisheries Bureau would help take in this sea monster
Also, what exactly is this sea monster? People who specialize in research should know, right
It would be great if the newspaper could publish this information at that time, so he could also know about it through the newspaper.
It’s a pity that he didn’t have a camera, otherwise he could have taken a picture and kept it as a souvenir in the future.
The desire for the camera increased again.
"Alas~ I want too much..."
