Zeng Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's just a big fish. It's such a big move and it attracts such a large group of people. The rumors are really scary."
Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly and explained: "There are no tractors at the dock at this time, so we can only carry them over. Otherwise, just letting the tractors pull over will not attract so many people."
This is indeed the case. Many fishing boats go out to sea in the morning or at night, and only come back in the afternoon or evening. At this time, the tractors go to other places to pull goods, other docks or to carry people. There is nothing at the dock there.
people.
"Okay, just send the people away. As for this fish...you have to carry it in first? Otherwise, let it dry in the sun, or it will be damaged by the sun."
"I didn't contact the people at the research institute in advance, so I don't know if I want this fish..."
…
Ye Yaodong didn't know who these speakers were. Anyway, some spoke local dialects and some spoke Mandarin. He just stood aside silently, like a follower.
They talked back and forth, and finally decided to carry it to the Marine Police Station and put it there, then sprinkle some ice cubes on it, and ask someone from the Ocean Bureau to call the institute to come over and take a look.
Look, take the fish away.
Ye Yaodong also asked several of his workers to help carry all the fish in. After they finished doing this, everyone else left work in twos and threes and left first. Only Zeng Weimin stayed at the end.
He said to Ye Yaodong: "If you donate, you will donate for free. There are no rewards or anything like that..."
"I understand, I know, it couldn't be sold in the first place."
Zeng Weimin nodded, "Well, everyone is tired from working back and forth. You should go back to eat first. The matter of the association will not be finalized so quickly. I will tell you when it is finalized in ten days and a month."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Ye Yaodong hesitated for a moment and said, "After the research on this fish is completed, it will be made into a specimen, right?"
"It should be."
"Then when the specimen is made, the origin must be clearly stated. Can it be stamped with my name? Haha..."
Zeng Weimin also smiled and said, "I will tell you when the time comes. I will definitely write down the origin. But if you didn't tell me, it will probably be written on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month. It was donated by local fishermen."
"I knew it would be like this, so I asked. Haha, after all, it was hard to salvage it, and it's worth it to leave a famous name."
"Ask me then."
"Okay, sorry for the trouble, let's go back first without delaying the leadership's get off work. It's already past twelve o'clock now, and it's long past the off work time."
He nodded.
Ye Yaodong led a group of people out first.
Fortunately, there were still two people left at home to look after the house. When they got home sweating profusely, they would have food to eat immediately without having to wait for starvation.
During the meal, everyone was discussing the local gossips and complaining about the huge changes in the rumors. They were really spreading nonsense.
"Finally we have done this. We have been in the sun all the way back and forth. It is very hot. Everyone has a good rest in the afternoon. In the evening, we will see how the fishing nets are repaired. If the repairs cannot be completed, we will borrow a trolley to pull the fishing nets back.
Let the two women mend it in our yard tomorrow, so as not to delay going to sea tomorrow."
Father Ye hesitated for a moment, "If we ask those two women to come to our yard to mend the net, I guess they won't be happy, right? Our house is full of men, more than a dozen people. If those two women come to our yard to mend the net, they will probably be unhappy."
Worry about being judged."
That's true. It would be nice if there were women here. They are all men, and they are all foreigners. If two women come to the door, they will probably be frightened.
The fishing net is too big. If it is mended at the door, most of the road will be occupied, which will affect the passage of vehicles and will be scolded. After all, it is a house facing the street.
It was okay to go to the boat to mend the net. In broad daylight, everyone could see that it was serious work.
"Forget it, if they can't repair it today, let them go to the boat to repair it tomorrow, and we will have one more day of rest. When I was selling goods yesterday, I heard local people say that they couldn't go very deep, and they didn't see anything at all.
Sea urchin, just give it a day longer tomorrow, I’ll probably try them all and give up, and it won’t affect us by then.”
"I'm just afraid that some people won't like us..."
"What are you afraid of? After all, it's still the flood season for Jellyfish. They all have to rush to make as much money as possible before the flood season ends. They have no time to take care of our place, and we can't bring benefits to them. When the flood season is about to end, we
It's probably about to be finished, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
"All right."
Father Ye didn't say anything more.
After everyone finished eating, they went to take a shower, then went to catch up on their sleep and had a good rest for a long time.
The next day, because the fishing net had not been repaired yet, we continued to rest for another day.
Ye Yaodong also took advantage of his free time to make a phone call. Yesterday morning, the boatmen went together to make phone calls, and he hadn't even gotten around to it yet.
Today is the sixth day since I came out.
His father was the only one who took the time to make a phone call on the second day after he came to Zhejiang Province to report that he was safe. The workers also called back yesterday, so he was the busiest and kept busy.
Taking advantage of his free time today and having enough rest, he also called home.
As soon as Lin Xiuqing answered his call, her first words hurt him.
"I thought you bought a house there and married a new wife, so you stopped calling me."
"Nonsense, I only have one wife."
"Then you have a lover."
"Nonsense, there are more than a dozen men around me. How can I find a woman for myself? If I want to find one, I have to find one for each of them. Otherwise, my secret will be exposed. I just found a woman in front of me. It won't take a long time. I'm sure
The call was immediately sent back to the village."
Ye Mu's distant scolding voice was immediately heard on the other end of the phone, "Your father is an old man. If you find a woman for him, he can even put half of his foot into the coffin."
"Humph, let's just say you're not lustful, it's just that it's inconvenient because there are so many people around you."
"You are riding a horse..." Ye Yaodong cursed silently, "Don't talk nonsense. When word gets out, it will be like I took them to find women, not to work and make money. I've just been a little busy these two days, one after another.
There's something wrong."
"Then why do you have time to call back today?"
"The fishing net was damaged by a big fish. It was inconvenient to invite people to my home, so I asked people to repair it on the fishing boat, so I am rarely free today."
Lin Xiuqing then spoke properly and asked about the current situation. Ye Yaodong also reported the situation to her.
"I'm as busy as a spinning top and I don't even get enough sleep. You still think I'm looking for a woman."
"Dad, it doesn't matter. You can find aunt, and I will also find uncles for mom. Grandma will find one, mom will have one, and I will..."
The sudden childish words made him dumbfounded, and he couldn't laugh or cry at the same time.
There were also several laughter and curses coming from the other end of the phone.
"You are so filial. After you are filial, you don't forget to find one for yourself."
"I haven't finished talking yet... I need to talk to dad on the phone..." Ye Xiaoxi held on to the phone tightly, not letting Lin Xiuqing take it away.
Lin Xiuqing's voice also came from inside, "What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense."
"Dad, you have to make good money, eat well, sleep well, and then buy me gifts when you come back."
"Okay, okay, if you behave well I will buy it."
Ye Xiaoxi held the phone and nodded heavily, "Well, I have a good boy..."
"Be a good boy, Yangyang went to the mountains to herd sheep yesterday, and she secretly followed her to play in the mountains, which made me look everywhere. I searched the whole village and couldn't find anything. I almost went crazy with worry. It's lunch time.
Yangyang ran back crying and said that her sister was missing, and I found out that they ran up the mountain together."
"Didn't you follow me to the mountain? Why did you disappear?"
"She ran to climb trees and steal other people's pears. Then when she was tired, she slept in the grass. Yangyang searched and screamed everywhere. When she couldn't find her, she ran back to me in fear. When I was about to run to the mountains to look for her.
, someone has already brought her back and said she was asleep with several pears in her arms."
Now, Ye Yaodong couldn't say that she was good.
"Then I wanted to compensate them, but they said no, because such a young child is immature, so forget it, they didn't lose anything, so I just bought two kilograms of Chai pears. Those two gave me a good beating yesterday.
"
"So when you answered the phone today, you wanted to take your anger out on me! I told you that when you answered the phone, you sounded like you had dynamite. You really know how to vent your anger."
"No way."
"This damn girl is so naughty. The bigger she gets, the better she can run. She even sneaked away to the mountains and climbed trees. She really needs to be beaten."
Ye Xiaoxi shouted on the other end of the phone, "No."
His skin is also quite thick. He was beaten just yesterday, and today he is full of energy and shouting loudly. He has no consciousness of being a human being with his tail between his legs.
Mother Ye also asked on the other end of the phone at this time: "Where is your father? Did he come out to call you?"
"No, it's too hot. He said I'd just call to report that he's safe. Anyway, he called a few days ago and won't follow him."
"Young man, who is not hot? I am hot too..."
Ye Yaodong listened to his mother's long-winded talk and scolded his father. After asking him a few concerned questions, he returned the phone to Lin Xiuqing.
He didn't talk for long. He asked about the current situation and only said that he would call me again after remitting money in a few days. Then he hung up.
He had a smile on his face all the way home, and his whole family was the motivation for his struggle.
After the fishing net was repaired in the evening, he paid his wages and took his men out to sea again to fish for sea urchins the next day.
It was only the beginning of September, and while driving on the sea, there were jellyfish floating intermittently, and the surrounding fishing boats were chasing the jellyfish they saw.
He stood on the helm with a telescope and looked around, thinking to himself that just by looking for jellyfish on the sea every day, those small boats could probably make a good income during this period, at least dozens of dollars a day, and they were working better than ordinary people.
Much stronger.
And when they were approaching the trench, he also saw it with a telescope. It was still empty there. There were only two fishing boats driving fast in the opposite direction of the trench. They probably had all caught fish.
He went out to sea at 5 o'clock, but when he arrived at 7 o'clock, there was nothing there. The salvage was indeed too clean.
That's just right, it makes it easier for them to salvage sea urchins.
When they arrived at their destination, they entered the water as soon as possible according to the combination they had arranged the previous few days, trying to enter the water as many times as possible within the limited time.
Although it is said that you should not go into the water too many times a day, it is only for a few days, not long-term. As long as your body can bear it and there is no discomfort, it is okay to go into the water a few times more.
Ye Yaodong also left 5 yuan for them to buy meat before going out, and provided him with delicious food every day. He had only been out for a few days, and he felt that every one of his faces was rosier than at home.
It was salvaged in one day today, and several boats came over to take a look. They probably didn't want to give up and wanted to see if there were any jellyfish left, but after looking at them, they left immediately.
Some curious people stayed and watched for a while, but the people who went into the water did not come up so quickly. After staying for a while and seeing nothing, they turned around and left impatiently. If you delay for a few more minutes, you may lose a few cents.
The salvage went smoothly for a day, and the goods received today were a bit more than those of the previous few days.
When he returned to the shore, he still sold it to the same person as before. Today he salvaged 2,865 kilograms and sold it for 630 yuan. Another large amount of money was recorded in his account.
Although the profits from the big wave the day before yesterday are incomparable, compared to the normal hauling of the Dongsheng's net for a day, the profits are already large, and compared to those who are fishing for jellyfish at sea, the profits are even greater.
Sell ​​it for a few hundred yuan, which is a lot, but if you look at his boat, the locals will feel that it is reasonable to make more than their small boats. After all, such a big boat consumes fuel and labor, and the cost is higher than that of a small boat.
Several times.
When someone was discussing it, there were also people who used this sentence to refute it.
As long as it's not an eye-catching one, selling it for several thousand yuan at a time, selling it for five or six hundred yuan isn't considered too eye-catching.
He has already earned 6,000 yuan in just 7 days since he came out, which is considered very fast.
The next few days were quiet, but it started to rain within a few days. They had to stop work and rest until the rain stopped and the sun came out before they could work.
But after the rain stopped, it was cloudy again. They tried to go out to sea once, but they could only return without success.
Because it was cloudy and gloomy, the visibility underwater was too low. The trench was originally dark, and without good weather, we couldn't see the bottom and couldn't salvage. Visibility was very important.
After stopping intermittently for a week, they resumed normal salvage operations.
However, when Ye Yaodong came back that day, the boatman who stayed behind at home told him that people from the Coast Guard came to look for him in the afternoon and asked him to come back.
"You didn't say it would be late in the evening when I came back?"
"As I said, he said that if you come back late, they are off work, so you can go there tomorrow morning."
"oh."
Father Ye was a little nervous, "Why are the Coast Guard looking for you? We haven't done anything recently?"
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
After entering the police station once, and now hearing the calls from the public security departments, his legs were shaking, for fear that something bad would come to his door again.
"I haven't done much. I'm going to have a look tomorrow to see if the Jellyfish Association thing has been implemented, so I was asked to come over."
Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face, "This is asking you to become an official. That's a good thing. I thought you would come to us to report any trouble."
"With Director Zeng here, there won't be any big trouble."
"It feels good to be supported by noble people wherever I go. At least I don't have to worry about being a foreigner and suffering a big disadvantage."
"I am a person of great luck."
"Don't talk so full of words yet..."
This is the fact. Ye Yaodong feels that he should be very lucky and everything he does when he comes back in this life will go smoothly.
At the beginning, he was not so confident, thinking that he had to be lucky to be reborn. However, the smooth progress in the next two years convinced him that he was a person with great luck, and that he might still be a good person in ten generations.
He changed the subject, "Then I won't go to sea with you tomorrow morning. Dad, you can take them out to sea. I will go to the Coast Guard tomorrow to have a look and see if it is about the association."
"Okay, one less person means one less person."
Ye Yaodong's guess was correct.
Early the next morning after receiving the notice, he waited until work hours before going to the Coast Guard. Then Zeng Weimin told him that after several days of discussion, a jellyfish association was not established, but a fishery association was established, and the jellyfish sub-category was also divided.
Join the fishery association.
He was stunned for a moment before he realized that the vice-president he had obtained had flown away.
I was so awesome that I blew it to the ground.
"Get ready. There will be a meeting at around 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The meeting will be held at the Oceanographic Bureau. You have to remember to go and report your name. There is an information charter here. Take a look and see who you will be when the time comes.
Vice President, you have to stand up and say a few words."
"ah?"
"Why are you so stupid? Let me tell you, this fishery association covers a lot of things. It is not like the jellyfish association you proposed at the beginning. It only cares about the fishing, production and distribution of jellyfish. This fishery association now covers a lot of things.
It has destroyed the entire fishery industry.”
"Are you a foreigner, or should I help you argue and argue that there should be no discrimination based on region? I am also a foreigner, can't I also work here? What's more, you bought a house here, and you are considered a local.
, I’m just giving you a name.”
"A few days ago, you donated such a big fish to the research institute, so you showed your face. The research institute is also very happy to have such a research material, and they all praise you for being enlightened. It was a mistake."
"Having a foreigner here can better integrate fishermen from all over the world. Our pier here does not only have local fishing boats, but also fishing boats from other places. After all, Wenzhou is close to Fujian Province, which can be regarded as a
The role of publicity is that our local area does not discriminate against outsiders."
He was silent for a moment, "Although they do discriminate against outsiders who don't speak the local dialect, their attitude must be shown. That is to say, after you reminded me, I brought it up at the earliest and could still say a few words, otherwise there would be no place for me to speak.
.”
Ye Yaodong was hit by a pie and forgot to be happy. After hearing this, he also thought to himself that he was probably at a disadvantage in the early days of establishment. These people didn't know anything and were just messing around, so they didn't
So particular.
This local fishery association is not comparable to a small jellyfish association. This social group is very representative.
What’s more, he’s also the vice president!
He is really confused. The China Fisheries Association has not yet been established. Due to his super consciousness, the local fisheries association has been established first?
After Ye Yaodong digested the news and reacted, he bowed deeply to the leader.
"Thank you, leader. I'm a foreigner. Although I bought a house here, I can't speak the local language and will definitely be discriminated against. But it's an honor to have my name. I'm just an ordinary fisherman. I know
You are truly a pie in the sky."
"Xenophobia is very serious here. The master will guide you in. Practice is up to you. You can decide what to do next. To tell you the truth, I am also one of the xenophobes."
"Haha, the leader should try to learn to speak the local dialect so that he won't be excluded."
He nodded, "This is indeed a way. Only with a common language can we better integrate into the local area."
In fact, there is another way, but this does not apply to Zeng Weimin. It is more suitable for him, which is to become a local entrepreneur. As long as you have money, who will not respect you?
But, he didn't dare to think about it, he just had a little extra money now.
What's more, if you dare to become an entrepreneur now, people will defeat you immediately.
Now that you are so rich, donate some money to build bridges and pave roads; now that you are so rich, donate some money to build a school and hospital; now that you are so rich, donate some money to support local construction...
If you want to become a famous local entrepreneur, you have to wait a few years for the environment to improve.
After all, you still have to learn the local dialect first and try not to be excluded.
"Then...am I, the vice-president, now convinced?"
"Not necessarily yet. Now we have just registered. We have to make a speech after the meeting tomorrow afternoon. If there are names on the list, then it will be considered a certainty."
"I understand, I understand. I'll go back and prepare a speech for the meeting."
"It's best to publish some of the suggestions you have in mind, especially the jellyfish association you mentioned before. You can mention this in a targeted manner, and it is best to mention some useful contacts."
"OK."
He is sure of this, and he still knows a lot about it, especially some subsequent developments. He can propose a jellyfish breeding plan, let the local area build a jellyfish hometown, and vigorously promote the breeding, which is probably enough.
After all, everything now relies on the original ecological resources of the ocean, and there is no thought of breeding. If he advocated it early, he would also have a share of the credit for developing in this direction in the future.
As for whether anyone will listen after what he said, that is not his concern.
Anyway, as long as he is the first to propose it, it will only prove that he has foresight and foresight when he looks back.
After Ye Yaodong discussed with his leader what he would talk about, he went back with a list.
On the way back, he was thinking that if he really became the vice president of some fishery association here, he would really have to come here every year. At least he would have to be there during the flood season, and then it would be best to do something locally.
What.
Sigh... This man is very lucky, but he is also a little troubled. The stalls are spread wherever he goes, which is a sweet burden.
I thought I could just come here every year and earn a few months of money, but now I think about it, I still have to run something here.
As he walked, he would pick up the list and take a look at it from time to time. After taking a look, his mind was running wild. He even thought about how people would respectfully call him Chairman Ye, Mr. Ye, and Chairman Ye in the future.
In the past, I only imagined that people would call him Ship Wangdong, but now my fantasy is even higher.
It was still broad daylight, so don't dream. He quickly shook his head and walked back quickly with the list in hand.
As soon as he got home, he immediately picked up a pen and paper and started writing non-stop. The boatmen couldn't help but come over to look left and right.
"A Dong, what are you writing? It's like my kid writing a composition."
"Don't make any noise. Go and do your work and leave me alone."
He was very excited, already fantasizing about a big fight in his mind, and his desire to express himself was very strong, and he wanted to write down everything he thought of.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, I really can’t understand what he wrote. Those who stay at home are all elderly and can only write their own names at most.
He was the boss, and he told them not to make any noise, so they had no choice but not to disturb him for now.
It's just that everyone was really curious. From the time he came back until lunch, Ye Yaodong sat there and wrote non-stop. Those who didn't know it thought he was some kind of cultural person, everyone.
While we were having lunch, everyone saw him stop and asked a few questions.
"Is there something wrong with the Coast Guard asking you to come over today?"
Ye Yaodong grinned, "The city is going to establish a fishery association, not a jellyfish association. I have been nominated as vice president. There will be a meeting at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon where I will be asked to make a speech, so I have just been preparing."
"Ah? Why has it changed?"
"Which one is bigger, the Fisheries Association or the Jellyfish Association?"
"Silly, of course it's the Fisheries Association. The Fisheries Association immediately knows that it can represent the entire fishery. That is to say, it has just been reorganized and is still a grassroots team, so it is not so particular and can still catch me up. However, your boss, I can only
I can put a name on it, but that’s enough.”
Ye Yaodong smiled happily.
"Is that a bigger official?"
"Not really, I've said it before. Now I'm just a member of the grassroots team. I don't know if I'll be kicked out in the future, but I'm still a veteran after all!"
"It sounds very powerful. It's so amazing. You, a foreigner, can come here and become the president of the association. It's so good, so awesome."
"Deputies, deputies, they say there are five deputies, don't be too happy too early."
Although he said this, his smile was brighter than anyone else's.
"Then A Dong, after you become the president here, do you have to live here?"
"No, didn't I say that? I just put up a name. In fact, it's just to give the leaders some face. They are just balancing all parties. The leaders of various local departments must be from other places and some from the local area. They must be officials.
It also requires a balance in all aspects.”
"Maybe I am the product of their balance. What does it matter if I am with you or not? It's just that for me, it sounds nice to say it out loud."
Everyone was confused when listening to what he said. They didn’t understand what he was talking about. They felt they understood it, but they felt they didn’t understand it. Anyway, it sounded very high-level!
After all, when it comes to being an official, nothing ordinary people can understand.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but shine with envy.
"You are really going to be a high official!"
Chapter completed!
