Wang Yi was preparing to go to Mangrove Island to fish for barracuda, but the weather started to get bad, and the first rain of the first month fell unexpectedly.

This is also the first spring rain on Tianya Island this year.

In terms of solar terms, the seventh day of the first lunar month this year is February 19th of the solar calendar, and today is rainy.

The February breeze in the Pacific Ocean brings a light rain to the entire East China Sea.

The pattering rain coated the islands in the East China Sea with a layer of mist.

On rainy days, the sea breeze is not strong, and it does not feel cold when it blows on your body. This means that the willow wind does not blow cold on your face.

The poplar branches and willow branches swayed slowly in the wind. Wang Yi wore a raincoat and wandered slowly on the island. He took a closer look at the vegetation on the mountain. The island inadvertently became a little green.

Spring is brewing.

"Boom, boom, boom!" "Woof, woof, woof!"

The spring thunder bloomed, causing the dogs in the production team to roar one after another, with many childish barks.

Now that people in the team are better off and have extra food, many families have begun to raise dogs.

Fishermen on the outer islands like to keep dogs, even in 2023. When Wang Yi went to evaluate the maintenance workers in the maintenance factory and visited their homes, he found that almost every household had a dog.

You can both watch the door and play with your children.

After all, fishermen go out to sea every day, leaving their homes with empty doors. There are too many thieves these days, so having a dog can act as a warning.

The island was shrouded in a hazy drizzle, and the ocean was also covered in drizzle. The engines of the fishing boats roared, quickly breaking through the waves and disappearing into the rain and mist.

The production team had a holiday on a rainy day, and most people were sheltering from the rain at home. It was a good time to put away shoe soles and do handicrafts, but there were also a few people hanging out on the coast wearing ponchos.

Among these people, there is another person dressed like Wang Yi, the birthday boy.

The birthday boy also put on a raincoat and a bamboo hat, and was fishing alone with a fishing rod.

Fishing alone in spring water.

It was a quiet day. Wang Yi walked around the island briefly, had lunch and said he wanted to take a lunch break, and then returned to the Time and Space House to arrive in 23rd year.

I haven't been back for a few days, and the production team has started work.

When Wang Yi went there, it was a restaurant. Many people were eating, and some people said to their companions' mobile phones at the door: "You don't have to pay to visit the store, and you don't have to pay to visit the store..."

When I walked in, I saw, wow, there were two tables of people eating on their phones. One was reviewing crab cakes with rice, and the other was reviewing Haiyang Chicken's chicken soup.

All were full of praise:

"It's so expensive, everyone, it's so delicious. This crab roe cake is really nothing to say, it has just the right amount of umami, it's definitely a good thing..."

"A portion of chicken soup 66, the taste is incredible, it has a very unique aroma. To be honest, my family, I have never tasted this taste elsewhere. Just look at a portion of chicken soup with a few pieces of chicken 66 is not cheap, but

A portion of chicken soup with two bowls of rice can actually make you full. It costs 70 yuan to eat one. I think it’s ok and worth it!”

Qiu Danian was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, working hard with a copy of "The Art of Management". Wang Yi couldn't help laughing as he read:

"If you have the skills, why not go out and inspect the hotel's security? Can you do management? You have to understand your position. You are a security guard, this is your profession!"

Hearing this, Qiu Danian raised his head and was very surprised: "Damn it, boss, you're here. I haven't seen you since the New Year. It's already the first month of the year. I haven't seen you for the entire first month!"

He really missed Wang Yi.

I'm also a little worried about Wang Yi.

If Wang Yi hadn't left him WeChat messages to arrange work from time to time, he would have reported Wang Yi missing.

Wang Yi said: "I went to the border and just came back for two days' rest. How is it? The business and the island are good, right?"

Qiu Danian said: "The hotel business is very good, and it is getting more and more prosperous. The island has changed drastically. Just wait and see, I guess you won't recognize it. Our Tianya Island has now become an internet celebrity island!"

Wang Yi was stunned: "Are you famous again? Can you become famous so easily?"

Qiu Danian chuckled and said: "It's not very easy. There are many reasons. The main reason is that the county helped publicize it."

"Because we hired many people from the Disabled Persons' Federation, didn't we? Ai Junhui first helped us establish a connection with the Disabled Persons' Federation, and the Disabled Persons' Federation helped us promote it on Doyin, Kuaishou and other platforms."

"As a result, some people suspected that we were just putting on a show and trying to catch the attention of some large companies that accept disabled people. Then our employees went to confirm it."

"Several public accounts operated by the county later helped us promote it, and hasn't it been warm recently? The island is clean and green, and many fishing veterans and wild tourists have taken photos and videos and sent them out. That's it.

The lake is painted red..."

Someone came to pay the bill and heard what he said: "It's not that Huli Lake is painted red. You need to be strong to make iron. It's the food in your restaurant that's hard and the quality of the island you own is hard!"

Wang Yi cupped his fists at him.

Brother, this is quite embarrassing.

“Give this old man a 20% discount!”

He said this to Qiu Danian.

The middle-aged man who was paying the bill was stunned and asked Qiu Danian: "Boss, is this the legendary boss of yours who is handsome, charming, courageous, generous, generous and heroic?"

Wang Yi listened to the music.

This person is quite interesting: "Give this old man a 30% discount!"

The middle-aged man looked at him in surprise and wanted to speak again: "I think sir, you are..."

"Okay, okay, okay, brother, please stop talking." Qiu Danian quickly stopped him, "With the 30% discount, we no longer make any profit. If you continue to talk, it will become a dish without ordering, and we will have to share two dishes.

Got it!"

Qiu Danian's daughter-in-law Gao Yanan paid the bill at a 30% discount. People at other tables who heard this all looked at Wang Yi covetously and were eager to try the checkout.

Seeing this, Qiu Danian decisively pulled Wang Yi away: "Boss, come on, let's withdraw."

"Thank you for asking me to look at the store. If you had looked after the store yourself, I guess you could have given away our big stove."

Wang Yi said: "Wait a minute, I'm here to hand out the red envelopes."

He came here with a backpack, which was full of big red envelopes, the smallest one was 6666.

Qiu Danian said: "Should we post it later? It's quite busy right now. There are many people and many things to do. I'm worried that something will happen."

Wang Yi thought about it and nodded.

Seeing this, Qiu Danian wanted to take him upstairs to drink tea. Wang Yi said: "Wait a minute, I got a box of wine. It was jointly produced by eight major wineries during the Spring Festival of 1983. It should be good stuff."

The middle-aged man who had just settled the bill subconsciously asked after hearing this: "The wine jointly produced by the eight major wineries in 1983? Erlongxi Zhu wine?"

Wang Yi said: "It seems to have such a name. There are a total of sixteen bottles of wine, two bottles from each of the eight wineries, and there is a dragon on the packaging of each bottle."

"Do you know this wine? Then wait, I'll go out and bring it back to you for a look."

The middle-aged man quickly followed after hearing this.

As usual, Wang Yi came here in a three-wheel dump truck.

A case of wine is in the car.

This wine must be high-end. It was prepared for Ye Changan by the organization. There are only a few boxes in Wengzhou.

Ye Changan specially brought it to Tianya Island to drink on New Year's Eve, but Wang Yi came and exchanged the civet cat for the prince, and accepted the box of wine in exchange for unpacking the bottle of Wuliangye.

Originally, the outer packaging of this wine was very ordinary, just a thick cardboard box with the words 'Famous products from eight major wineries to celebrate the Chinese New Year (special supply)'.

There is a saying in the liquor collecting industry that usually those with the word "special offer" clearly written on them are Hu Nongren products, but good products may also come out, and once good products come out, they are often treasures.

Such is the case with these eight bottles of wine.

Wang Yi packed it in a wooden box, and then he treated the cardboard box with oxidizer, and sprinkled some dust on it to make it look like there were signs of age——

There is no way, the wine bottle does not need to be processed, which means that the box of wine was treasured at that time, so it is as new as ever, but the outer packaging box must be processed. When preserving liquor in the 1980s, no one could keep the wine box as new as ever.

The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he saw him driving a tricycle carrying such a box of wine: "This boss is the boss. You, your way of loading goods is quite rough."

Wang Yi said: "What a man wants is roughness."

He took down the wooden box and opened it. Inside was an ordinary rough cardboard box.

After processing, it already has a sense of age.

The cardboard box was opened again, and inside were sixteen bottles of famous wine arranged neatly.

Qiu Danian took out a bottle and looked at it, and exclaimed: "It's so new? It doesn't look like it was made in 1983, it looks like it was made 83 days ago."

Wang Yi said: "It is well preserved. This wine was collected from the home of an old cadre..."

"Can you show it to me?" the middle-aged man asked hurriedly.

Wang Yi nodded, and Qiu Danian handed him the bottle.

This bottle is Fenjiu, and it has the usual logo sticker from the 1980s. The two big characters in the middle are "Fenjiu", and below it are the small characters "Produced by Xinghua Village Fenjiu Factory".

What is unusual is that it is different from the transparent glass bottles of Fenjiu at that time. It uses a ceramic bottle and has a dragon-shaped logo cast around the bottle.

The middle-aged man held the wine bottle and turned it slowly, looking at it carefully.

Qiu Danian looked at the words on the box and asked, "It says we celebrate the Spring Festival together. Is 1983 the Year of the Dragon?"

Wang Yi said: "No, it's the Year of the Pig."

Qiu Danian was immediately confused: "Why is there a dragon on the wine bottle in the Year of the Pig?"
