Chapter 602: Contact the Fisheries Bureau or the Newspaper?

~11 min read 2,116 words

"Fisheries Bureau?"

After everyone was stunned and dazed, they suddenly realized, and then immediately whispered to each other.

"Will the Fisheries Bureau manage this fish?"

"What are they going to do with this fish?"

"Is it useful?"

"Hard to say. What if the officials think it's rare and keep it for research?"

"Does this fish need research?"

"Who knows? The brains of educated people are different from ours..."

Acai heard Ye Yaodong say to contact the Fisheries Bureau, and also pondered for a while, feeling it was feasible.

"This idea is also okay. Since it can't be sold and no one wants it, don't waste it. Contact them. Donating it is better than throwing it back into the sea directly."

"Donate it?"

"If you don't donate it, do you still want to sell it? Sell it to a government unit? Think too much. You can only hope that after donating it, they will give some subsidies. Hope they will subsidize a little more and give you a silk banner to be glorious."

"Uh..."

Ye Yaodong patted their shoulders, "Just like when I donated the bronze tripod, I got a comfort, that's about it. What's more, this thing of yours is so ugly and no one knows what it is. Indeed, no one wants it."

"Donating it can also save trouble. You don't know how to deal with it anyway. You spent so much effort to drag it back, you can't just not want it like this, right? Just donate it."

The Zhou brothers looked at each other, feeling it was difficult to handle.

The middle-aged man with two mustaches also said: "Donating it is quite good. To be honest, no one really wants this thing. It looks rare and fresh, but it looks too ugly, and I don't know if it can be eaten. If you can contact the Fisheries Bureau and let them come to collect it, that's also fine."

The eldest Zhou brother sighed, "Sigh, that's the only way. It's night now, it's dark, so we have to wait until tomorrow to make a phone call... By the way, do you have a phone number?"

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "No, who would have their phone number? You can ask at the village committee tomorrow and let those cadres inquire about what the number is?"

"Or didn't the newspaper people come before? Just call the newspaper's phone and ask. The newspaper people have a wider network, they must know the Fisheries Bureau's number, right?"

Acai nodded and gave him a thumbs up, "You know quite a lot? Your brain is really active."

No wonder he can make big money!

"Anyone with a brain can think of it, okay? Or are you suffering from amnesia?"

"I'm praising you."

"Didn't feel it."

Acai glared at him, then shook his head and looked at the fellow villagers who were still whispering there.

"Disperse, disperse. Can't sell it, it's useless. Just wait until tomorrow to make a phone call and donate it. It's already very late, everyone go home to sleep, don't gather here."

"Oh oh~ disperse, disperse~"

"Go, go, go home, go home, came for nothing... thought it could be sold for a lot of money..."

"Are you obsessed with money? I said long ago that no one would want it..."

"It's good to see it. At least I saw what the sea monster looks like..."

"Yeah, I also opened my eyes, otherwise I've been listening to people talk about it and didn't know what it looked like..."

The villagers walked away in twos and threes, talking as they went.

The three people Acai called also said goodbye and rode their bicycles away.

Only a dozen people remained on the scene, who were the Zhou brothers' own family. Ye Yaodong also planned to ride his bicycle back. Anyway, the excitement had been watched, the suggestion had been given, and it had nothing to do with him anymore.

"Wait, wait, Adong, don't leave yet. Help move it in a while, this is too big."

"Ah?"

Still want him to help move it!

!

He lowered his head to look at the bicycle he had already straddled, then raised his eyes to look at the gate of his house. It was a long distance away, and they wanted him to help move it?

Damn, he was a step too slow!

He hurriedly grabbed A-Guang, who was planning to run away, "Wait, they asked us to help..."

Can't let him be left alone to work half to death.

A-Guang's face turned black instantly, glaring at him, wanting to kill him with his eyes, as if saying "Let go immediately," or "They asked you, not me."

Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes, holding on tightly without letting go, responding silently with his eyes, "I'm being left to help, don't even think about running!"

The two faced each other, communicating with eyes of love and hate, neither giving way!

And Zhou Da on the side said to Acai: "This thing is so big and heavy, it's not convenient for us to drag it back. Your goods will be shipped away at night, and the small shed will be empty. Lend it to us to put it for a while?"

"Lest it be left outside, what if someone who can't stand us being well runs over to destroy it? We can't stay awake all night watching here..."

So it was just to lift it into the collection point and lock it, not to lift it home, then it was fine.

A small matter, just a small step.

Ye Yaodong and A-Guang both withdrew their eyes at the same time, acting as if nothing had happened. He even felt his pocket and pulled out a cigarette for A-Guang...

A-Guang took the cigarette, got off the bicycle, and planned to help lift it together. Just moving this short distance was simple and easy to talk about.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, smoking together, harmonious...

Acai nodded helplessly, "Fine, fine... do a good deed to the end, send the Buddha to the west. Then lift it inside and put it there. However, the ground cages will be back at noon tomorrow, and I have to collect goods. You have to move it out by then."

"Definitely, just borrow it for one night. If we go out to sea at night, we will tell our family to come over tomorrow morning to help move it out."

"Fine, then you all come over to help lift it. Wait... have to move the goods inside out first, otherwise when the car arrives, the goods will be stuck inside and can't get out."

"Alright, alright, we'll help you move the goods inside out first."

The Zhou brothers rolled up their sleeves and went into the small shed to move them first.

Ye Yaodong didn't move before finishing his cigarette. Anyway, there were so many strong men, he would just wait to help move this sea monster in a while.

Acai also watched from the side, muttering in a low voice, "Tossing around, I don't know if the Fisheries Bureau wants it?"

"They should want it."

Marine biology research must have been going on all the time. Since it's rare to encounter something rare, they will definitely collect it, right?

After the Fisheries Bureau knows, they should contact to send it away, which can also strengthen the country's research on marine biology.

I heard that in this era, Japan's development of the ocean has long been ahead of all countries.

Watching them move, Acai didn't prepare to lend a hand. Since they were using his territory, he wouldn't exert any effort.

With nothing to do, he asked Ye Yaodong curiously, "Did you post a rental notice for your shop in the city?"

"Posted, you all posted, I definitely have to post a rental notice, otherwise how can I have time to run to the city trip after trip?"

However, he only posted a rental notice for the second shop at the door of the 12th shop.

The location of the first shop was too good. He wanted to keep it first and see if his father-in-law was willing to go in a few days.

If not, then he could only rent it out together.

A-Guang hurriedly asked him, "Rent both out? Don't keep one in your hand? Isn't your dried fish selling quite well now? Keep one to sell dried fish."

"Are you going to help me watch the shop in the city?"

"How is that possible? I have a bunch of work at home that I can't finish."

"Then that's it. With no one watching the shop, can I split myself in two? Let's talk about it later, wait until after the New Year, it's almost New Year."

"Hmm, it's better to wait until after the New Year."

While they were chatting, the baskets of goods in Acai's small shed were all moved out and placed at the door.

They also hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butts, rolled up their sleeves, and helped lift this sea monster inside.

After helping, they returned to their respective homes.

Ye Yaodong also told Lin Xiuqing and the old lady about what happened outside the pier.

"It's fine if it can be donated. At least it wasn't work in vain. That unit will also give them some subsidies."

The old lady said with a smile, "You are still smart, otherwise who would think of donating it to the Fisheries Bureau? Ordinary people, if no one wants it, would just throw it back into the sea."

"Didn't I donate once before? So I thought that thing should also be wanted, right? Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, anyway, it's asking the village cadres to help, or the newspaper."

"Hmm, don't talk about others, you hurry up and take a bath to warm up. The sleeves of your cotton jacket are still wet, don't catch a cold."

"I'll take it off in a while, you hang it at the door to dry, blow the wind. It looks like I can go out to sea at night."

"Alright."

There were only two or three cotton jackets for each person in the family, and no more were made. Lin Xiuqing pondered whether to take apart the old cotton jackets of the two children and sew another one for him to wear while working.

He only had one old broken cotton jacket, which was not convenient to wash. Of course, he couldn't bear to wear the new ones made last year and this year to work.

It just so happened that the two children were growing day by day, and the cotton jackets and trousers were not long enough. The big ones were eliminated for the small ones, and the small ones were eliminated. She originally wanted to keep them for Xiao Jiu.

Now, taking advantage of the time before the New Year, it would be good to take apart their old cotton clothes and trousers and sew a cotton jacket for Adong to wear while working.

This year, the money in hand was also loose, and there was still fabric left at home. It would be better for the two children to add a new cotton jacket each, so as not to have snot hanging there all day.

Lin Xiuqing calculated in her heart and searched the wardrobe overnight, planning to ask the old lady to help take them apart tomorrow, and she still had a sweater that hadn't been finished.

At night, everyone went to the pier as usual. The tide was still a little bit away from rising, so everyone waited there and chatted by the way.

Today's topic was of course revolving around the sea monster at night. Everyone felt a bit sorry that they went out to sea at night, so they wouldn't see how that sea monster was handled tomorrow.

They couldn't watch the big figures come over at home, couldn't know the first-hand news on the spot, and could only listen to others' retelling by then.

Ye Yaodong was the same. He also wanted to know if the Fisheries Bureau would help accept this sea monster?

Also, what exactly is this sea monster? Those people who specialize in research should know, right?

It would be great if the newspaper could publish it when the time comes, so he could also know through the newspaper.

It's a pity, there is no camera on hand, otherwise he would have taken a picture directly, and he could keep it as a souvenir in the future.

The desire for a camera increased again.

"Sigh~ want a bit too much..." ===== CHAPTER 603 =====
