Chapter 600: Can It Be Sold for Money?

I don't know what this thing is, so it's really hard to say if anyone wants it.

He wasn't very optimistic.

After all, it didn't look like it could be eaten. If it couldn't be eaten, would someone buy it back just to let it rot?

It looked ugly, so if people felt it was rare, just taking a few looks would be enough.

I don't know if there is any technology now to make it into a specimen. If there is such technology to make it into a specimen, maybe it could be sold for a good price.

After all, no one has ever seen this kind of creature. Whether in this era or in the future, it's quite rare.

Ye Yaodong's heart stirred, and he immediately thought of a way for the Zhou brothers.

If no one wants it, they can't just let it go to waste and drag it back for nothing just for people to watch the excitement, right?

He looked at the Zhou brothers who were frowning, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Better wait. What if Acai comes back in a while and says someone wants it? Then he would have done something unnecessary.

The eldest Zhou brother frowned and struggled for a while, "It's hard to say. It's not like the giant oarfish you dragged back last time, which looked rare at first glance and everyone knew what it was. I don't know what this thing I dragged back is. It's strange and weird. Maybe it really will go to waste."

"Since you've already dragged it back, let's take a look in a while."

The fellow villagers were also discussing there, saying whether anyone wanted this thing.

"If no one wants it, should we kill it ourselves to see? It doesn't look like it's easy to kill?"

"If you kill it, do you dare to eat it?"

"Uh... I don't know what this thing is, who dares to eat it?"

"Exactly, why is it so strange? It's so ugly, and I don't know if it's poisonous."

Listening to everyone talking, it seemed no one was optimistic. The Zhou brothers became more worried the longer they waited.

The fellow villagers all held the mentality of watching the excitement. Not a single person left, and the number of people at the pier was gradually increasing.

I don't know where the fellow villagers heard the news, but people actually ran out of the village to watch the excitement so quickly.

The newcomers didn't know, so the people on the scene popularized it for them, noisy and bustling.

After about half an hour, Acai finally arrived late on his bicycle.

"He's here, he's here..."

"Acai is here..."

The crowd automatically made a path.

"What did they say?" The four Zhou brothers all gathered around.

Acai's short and fat figure almost got stuck. After carefully getting off the bicycle and setting the kickstand on the rear wheel, he spoke.

"The village committee was already off work and closed. I had to run around to call someone to open the door before I could make a phone call."

"And then?" they asked in unison.

"What did they say? Does anyone want it??"

The fellow villagers were also very anxious. Although they weren't the ones who dragged it back, they were also very curious.

"I made several phone calls. There were fish buyers, and there were also hotels. Oh, I even called the Hongsheng Hotel to ask. They all said they would come over to take a look in a while. Without seeing it, no one dares to give a definite answer."

"Yes, yes..."

"Right... definitely have to take a look..."

"Wait a while..."

The Zhou brothers asked again: "How long do we have to wait?"

"That's hard to say. Who knows when they will come over? It's dark now. You go back to eat first and leave one person here to watch?"

The brothers looked at each other and discussed leaving one person to watch.

This was the only way—leave someone to watch and take turns going back to eat, otherwise, who knows how long they would have to wait.

The wind was strong at night, and they had been tired all day, cold and hungry. Who could hold out?

Seeing that no one would definitely come for a while, Ye Yaodong let his father go home to eat first and come out to watch the excitement later.

He also urged Acai to go in and calculate the bill for him first, as he also wanted to go home to eat.

Floating at sea all day, only eating noodles, he was almost starved to death.

The two of them had been in such a hurry to come out to watch the excitement that they hadn't calculated the price after weighing, and they hadn't gotten the bill either.

Seeing that there would be no news for a while and it was dark, and people wouldn't come that quickly, and the Zhou brothers only left one person while the others went back to eat, the fellow villagers temporarily dispersed.

They all planned to go home, eat their meal quickly, and then come out to watch the excitement.

"Why didn't you arrive at the shore earlier? It's pitch black now... It's so late, it's not easy to call people to come over..."

"Yeah, the wind on the shore is strong, and it's cold..."

"Ouch, what does it have to do with you? What are you nagging about? Who told you to wait here? You want to watch the excitement yourself, and you still complain? No one told you to wait..."

The fellow villagers walked away in twos and threes, muttering.

Ye Yaodong also took the bill with the calculated price and pushed the cart home first.

Today, the two porpoises sold for nearly 40 yuan combined. Added to some fish that could be sold for a good price, they harvested over 70 yuan. There were still 6 baskets of various miscellaneous fish and toadfish left on the cart.

There was also a bucket of small fish and shrimp that couldn't be eaten, which could be taken back to feed the chickens and ducks.

Just as he pushed the cart to the gate, his group of dogs all jumped onto the cart to help him push, except for the big black dog, which was still tied there.

Ye Yaodong had black lines all over his head and was speechless, "Have you never ridden a cart before? All of you, get down!"

Half a year had passed, and the few dogs had grown quite big, about the same size as adult native dogs. At this moment, they all hung their heads, acting as if they hadn't heard, motionless, just sitting on the cart.

Ye Yaodong was almost laughed at by their shamelessness. It was only after raising dogs that he knew these native dogs were actually quite smart and could play with you.

He called out twice, but they remained motionless, just wanting to be lazy on the cart. He had no choice but to let them stay on the cart and push it into the yard.

After the cart landed, without waiting for him to speak, the few dogs took the initiative to jump down one by one like dumplings, then ran to his feet and circled around.

"Go, go, go, no time to play with you, go aside."

The fish on the cart still needed to be taken down and killed, but this wasn't his job; he would just let his mother do it.

He gently kicked the dogs at his feet aside, preparing to move the baskets of fish down first.

At this moment, the door was opened, and the old lady came out and waved at him, saying: "Come in and eat quickly. We've all eaten, and your father is eating too. Let your mother handle these fish in a while."

"Alright."

He walked toward the main gate. The group of dogs at his feet saw him lift his legs and immediately opened the path in front, escorting him to the main gate. After the door was closed, they squatted down.

Ye Yaodong only saw it when he came out after eating, that the few dogs hadn't returned to their kennel but were squatting at the main gate.

Looking incredibly dedicated!

Seeing him push the bicycle out, they immediately stood up and wagged their tails at him.

"Good guys, I didn't raise you for nothing. You're quite obedient."

"Woof woof~"

"Make way first, I'll take you to watch the excitement later."

"Woof woof~"

The dogs obediently stood on both sides, clearing the way for him to pass.

Ye Fu followed behind, looking full of smiles, "They're quite obedient."

"They have to be obedient. If they aren't, I'll drive them out and make dog meat hot pot for others."

"Woof woof woof woof woof~ Woo~"

(Dog meat hot pot every day, threatening dogs, woo woo...)

Ye Yaodong rode the bicycle and let his father sit behind him.

Ye Fu waved his hand, "You ride it yourself. The road is bad and bumpy, and it's not far, I'll just walk."

Last time he went to the county shipyard, he was scared by the bumps from him and A-Guang. Anyway, he had long legs, so walking was fine.

"You'd better walk too. It's wet outside the pier, and the ground is full of seawater. It's easy for the bicycle to corrode and rust if you ride it outside. It hasn't been long since I bought it, you should also take good care of it. Don't ride it for just a few steps, walking is fine, right?"

"I bought it to ride it. Only by riding it more can I earn back the cost! Otherwise, am I supposed to buy it and worship it like an ancestor?"

Ye Fu shook his head and didn't care about him, walking out on his own. Anyway, it wasn't his car, so he didn't feel the pain, and it wasn't his turn to feel the pain.

Seeing his father walk out of the gate, Ye Yaodong didn't force him, pedaled the bicycle, and went first.

I don't know if the person Acai contacted has come yet?

He hadn't ridden the bicycle for a short distance when he saw quite a few people on the road to the pier holding flashlights.

So late, and they were actually going to the pier in groups?

Were they attracted by the reputation of the sea monster and went outside the pier to watch the excitement?

It was indeed too lacking in entertainment activities. In summer, everyone could sit at the door in groups of three or five to chat and enjoy the cool.

In the middle of winter, as soon as it got dark, you could hear the sound of a needle dropping in the village. The fellow villagers had nothing to do at home, so they could only make babies.

It was rare to see so many people on the road so late.

The dogs at home were all running beside him. Seeing people blocking the front, they took the initiative to run to the front to open the path, and by the way, barked a few times to tell people to make way.

Ye Yaodong rode the bicycle, unimpeded. Only when approaching the crowd did he use his thumb to flick the bell on top, shouting, "Piapiapia oh~"

The villagers in front heard the sound and automatically made a path for him to pass. After recognizing him by shining their flashlights on his back, they started talking about him again.

Ye Yaodong couldn't hear the discussion behind him and just rode forward. On the way, he also encountered A-Guang riding a bicycle, and he quickly caught up.

"Brother Guang~"

"Damn, what are you screaming like a ghost in the middle of the night?"

With that gay tone, A-Guang's goosebumps almost fell all over the ground.

"Calling you! Why are you out so late?"

"I heard someone caught a sea monster, so I have to come out and see, right? I also heard you encountered it in the afternoon. Why didn't you catch it? It was actually caught by someone else."

"It was full of life when I met it. Is that something I can catch? Don't want my life? Such a big one, even if it died, it was quite strenuous for the Zhou brothers to bring it back."

"How big is it?"

"It looks like it's about a thousand jin. When it was just lifted up, more than a dozen people helped together."

"What a pity. If you had dragged it back, you could have been in the limelight again, and you would be even more glorious in the village, and your reputation would be even louder."

Ye Yaodong hummed twice in his heart. Did he still need to be in the limelight? ===== CHAPTER 601 =====
