It's okay to stay for a short while and chat, but if you stay for too long, the northwest wind will give you a headache.
Everyone waited for a while, but couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Ye Yaodong said that, everyone agreed. A large group of people stood up and walked towards his house. They even gave their motorcycles to Acai to help look after them.
The Zhou brothers were still standing there, watching a large group of people follow them and leave. The villagers also gathered around them and walked towards Ye Yaodong's house together.
It was a rare lively scene and no one was willing to leave until the show was over. The leaders went to see Ye Yaodong and of course everyone followed them to take a look.
The brothers suddenly felt as if they were doing something for someone else. This was clearly a rare item that they had spent a long time trying to get back, and they had spent half the morning contacting people everywhere before they finally got the person to come.
As a result, these leaders were asked to go home by Ye Yaodong
And they still stood in the wind, watching with the northwest wind blowing, not daring to leave even a step...
No matter how you look at it, it seems... stupid
Zhou Laoer looked at the large group of people going away and muttered to himself, "Why does this feel a little wrong?"
"It seems so. They were clearly the people we invited over, so why did they all go to Adong's house?"
"Brother, why didn't you invite the leader to our place for tea and dinner?"
"This...Isn't there any chance for me to speak up? I...I don't have the courage to do so. I feel so embarrassed. How...how can I invite such a big leader?"
"But all this has gone to Adong's house..."
"I don't know how he knew him..."
Ah Cai also stood aside and listened, stroking his chin, thinking that one must be brave enough and thick-skinned enough to be successful.
Ye Yaodong deserves to be getting better and better!
This guy is just thick-skinned and not afraid of strangers.
Ye Yaodong chatted with Director Chen as they walked, and even boasted about the oarfish and giant kingfish he caught a few months ago. This made them extremely curious and their appetites were whetted.
"What a pity, I didn't have a camera at the time, otherwise I would have taken a picture and developed it for you to see. The oarfish was six or seven meters long, it was simply a super-enlarged version of the oarfish... and the giant kingfish, I could even lie down on it to sleep, both of them were bought by Hongsheng."
"Hongsheng probably has some pictures taken as souvenirs. If you're interested, you can go over there and ask for a picture or two tomorrow..."
Director Chen felt itchy and regretful after hearing this. "Why didn't you contact us at that time? Oh, what a pity. Such a big thing, no one has ever heard of it. It would be great if it was sent for research."
"I didn't think about it at the time, and I didn't know. Besides, I had no way to contact you. I'm just an ordinary country fisherman. At most, I'm a little luckier than others. How can I understand these things?"
"I'll leave you my phone number. If you come across any strange creatures in the future, feel free to give us a call. If we send them for research, they may lead to breakthroughs in our marine life research."
Ye Yaodong chuckled in his heart. If it could be sold for money, he would definitely sell it!
He donated it because no one wanted it. How could he, an ordinary citizen, have such high awareness
Can the development of the fishery still be improved by his discovery
Stop kidding~
He is just a small figure, a small fry, but it is good that he got Director Chen's phone number. Who knows, he might need it in the future.
Lin Xiuqing was very quick and efficient. The meals at home had almost been prepared. When a leader came to eat at home, she only needed to add a few more dishes.
Except for fish, all other seafood can be blanched. It is very convenient and can retain the original flavor of the seafood. Ye's father and the old lady also help.
As soon as Ye Yaodong and his men entered the courtyard, they smelled the delicious aroma of food. All the dogs in the house were squatting at the door, probably also smelling the fragrance of the food and waiting for the meal to be served.
When they saw him coming in with a group of people, all the dogs turned around and ran towards him.
"Go away, go away, there are guests coming, be good and stand in line!"
The local dogs were very smart. When they heard him say "stand in a row", all five of them stood on the left side, squatted in a row, and looked at everyone with their tongues sticking out.
This is surprising to people who have never seen it.
"You've trained well. You're so obedient and are actually standing in a row?" Secretary Chen said in surprise.
"I didn't train them. The boy at home trained them. He runs around with a group of dogs every day and tells them to do whatever he tells them to do."
"Whenever a puppy is born, catch one for me."
"OK."
After everyone looked at it curiously for a few times, they all walked into the house. At this time, Ye's father also came out of the house to greet the guests.
The villagers were all standing at the gate of the courtyard, stretching their heads to look around, whispering to each other, and discussing in whispers.
I only stood there for a short while, and when I saw everyone went into their houses, they slowly dispersed and went home to eat, planning to come back and take a look after dinner, or go to the outside of the pier to take a look.
Inside the room, Lin Xiuqing had already cooked a large table of dishes. The plates were filled to the brim, and even the bowls were neatly arranged. One could just sit down and eat.
Ye's father and Ye Yaodong asked everyone to take a seat, and Lin Xiuqing also brought out a basin of rice that had been cooked in advance.
"The food is ready so soon? You're so polite... I was thinking of coming in to rest for a while and drink some hot tea..."
"You're welcome. Come and sit down. It's time for lunch. People are like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. We have to work, but we still have to eat. The tractor is delayed for some reason and hasn't come back yet. Let's eat while we wait. It should be back soon."
Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, eat while you wait, otherwise you will be hungry when you go back later. You have things to do and you have to eat..."
"These are all dishes from our country and the seaside. I don't know if you are used to them. Just eat a few bites to fill your stomach first..."
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, you're welcome..."
These people exchanged pleasantries for a while before happily sitting down.
Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief. It was really tiring to deal with officials. Fortunately, the village chief and Secretary Chen and several other village cadres were there, so he didn't need to say too much.
Lin Xiuqing and Ye's father actively helped to serve everyone bowls of rice.
The old lady also stood by happily, saying, "Eat more, eat more. There is nothing good in the countryside, and you can't buy anything at this time. These are all fish, shrimps, crabs, and vegetables that we caught ourselves, so everyone can just eat a little..."
"Old lady, sit down too. Let's eat together..."
"I've eaten, you guys eat, you guys eat..."
Actually, there is no...
The old lady waved her hand and smiled as she walked into the house, intending to continue taking off her cotton coats and pants, and come out after everyone had finished eating.
After Lin Xiuqing served everyone the food, she went into the house to see if her two sons were eating seriously.
It doesn’t matter if the adults are hungry, the children still have to be given separate meals. No one can let the children go hungry.
In other families, even the children would be hungry and would wait until the guests had finished eating before serving the food. However, Lin Xiuqing loved her children and secretly packed some for them to eat in the house.
The two brothers also thought it was quite novel to eat in the room, and there was a radio on, so they could listen to the music while eating, which felt really delicious.
Lin Xiuqing also picked up the cooled rice noodles and fed them to Ye Xiaoxi.
There was chattering and laughter in the main room outside, and the family inside was also having a great time.
It was also Ye Yaodong's first time to have dinner with these leaders. Although he felt a little uncomfortable and restrained, it was his own home after all. After two glasses of wine, he relaxed and even urged Director Chen and others to drink.
Father Ye was not so natural. He was very reserved. He could only smile along and did not dare to toast.
Director Chen and his companions did not dare to drink too much, as they had to ride motorcycles back later, and the mountain roads were difficult to drive on, so they had to stay sober.
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and the guests, but an incident occurred during the meal that made everyone laugh and cry.
It turns out that one of the people Director Chen brought was from inland, and that person didn’t know how to eat crabs at all!
When eating crabs, he actually broke off all the legs and ate them first. After eating, he didn't even peel the crab shell, but put the whole crab into his mouth and bit it. Ye Yaodong was surprised to see this.
Father Ye even pointed it out with a smile, saying that he was eating it the wrong way... He even taught him how to peel it and eat it...
Everyone present burst into laughter, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
If the Zhou brothers hadn't run in and said that the tractor had arrived for quite some time, their dinner would probably not have ended so soon.
It was already dark outside. It gets dark very quickly in winter. Director Chen was anxious to get back to the city as soon as possible. When he heard that the tractor had been waiting for a while, he stood up immediately.
Ye Yaodong and the village cadres did not dare to try to keep him, as they all knew that the road would be difficult to drive at night.
A group of people surrounded Director Chen and his colleagues and slowly walked towards the dock. They had just drunk a little wine, so they were enjoying the cool breeze as they walked to sober up.
The dogs in the house also took the opportunity to follow him out and followed behind.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "We were too busy today. We didn't eat or drink enough. I must treat everyone well next time when I have the chance."
Director Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. There will be opportunities. You seem to have great potential."
"No, no. A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who can dig holes. My father is a fisherman, and I am just a fisherman. I have no future. It is also the village leaders who respect me and are happy to praise me. I am also thick-skinned..."
“Hahaha~”
"Comrade Jiang, you can't go back on your word about the photos you promised me at the dinner table. Remember to mail them to me when you get back."
"Of course, of course. It's dark now. Otherwise, I could take some photos of your family."
"Forget about that. I don't want to waste your film. Chinese New Year is coming soon. I can just go to the photo studio and invite someone to come to my house to take pictures."
"What's the use of waste? It's so polite to say that..."
"Haha, I'd be very grateful if you could just mail me a photo."
"It's easy, it's a small matter."
