He has been in the limelight enough, and now he just wants to keep a low profile. Besides, the sea monster looks useless. It doesn't smell like money, and there's no way it's valuable.
It's so ugly, it's surprising at best.
If it is really collected for research or made into specimens, then, should we notify the Fisheries Bureau or the Marine Biology Bureau? Is there such an organization now? I guess they won’t pay much money.
Compare to bronze!
For 50 yuan, a banner, and at most some living necessities, the government is not stingy. This is the current market situation.
After all, the antiques of the prosperous age have not yet reached their prime and have not been speculated yet. Although most of the officials know the goods, the masses do not.
And for the people, it is a very honorable thing to receive a banner award from the government. When you go out, your face will be bright.
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said indifferently: "Why do I want fame? People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. I am a fisherman, so much fame is of no use? Isn't it because I want to be an official or compete for the village chief?
"
"Ah? You still have this idea?" A Guang was surprised for a moment, then said seriously, "Actually, it's not impossible, you can read..."
"I know you, I'm just talking casually. I know shit. I'm a village leader and a village cadre. How can I be a village chief and a village cadre?"
"Oh, it would be nice to have a better reputation."
Ye Yaodong snorted and retorted, "Why do I need such a good reputation? That would only be moral kidnapping. If I had a bad reputation, if I occasionally did a few good deeds, everyone would definitely praise me; if it were someone with a good reputation, everyone would definitely praise me.
It’s taken for granted.”
A Guang nodded, feeling that what he said was too reasonable. Although he didn't know what moral kidnapping was, he probably understood its meaning.
"What's more, haven't I already become a celebrity? Aren't there legends about me everywhere in the village? When the Mazu temple is built early next year and my name is on the merit monument, I will be even more famous! Mazu will be the first to bless me with good luck.
, isn’t this more practical than picking up a sea monster?”
"That's right, you want to be engraved in first place on the merit monument. So, how much does it cost to donate to the second place?"
"Huh? You still want to donate money? Then you have to go to the village committee and ask."
“If you have money, donate more, if you don’t have money, donate less. It’s better to donate more to accumulate virtue.”
"Then you have to ask yourself."
…
The two of them rode bicycles side by side, chatting as they walked, and rang the bell a few times from time to time. If the road had not been bad and there were many people on the road, they would have arrived in two minutes.
When they rode outside the pier, many people were already standing outside, chatting around the sea monster, waiting to watch the excitement.
After Ye Yaodong parked his bicycle in the corner, he took Aguang and squeezed into the crowd.
I saw Zhou Da holding an aluminum lunch box and squatting next to the sea monster's body to eat. It was probably his brother who had packed it for him.
Ah Cai was more able to enjoy it. He specially moved a stool to sit on the edge, crossed his legs, wore a hat on his head, and sat with his back to the wind.
A bunch of people gathered around him, automatically shielding him from the wind. If he didn't turn his back to the direction of the wind, the wind wouldn't blow him.
Damn fat man, everyone is standing, but he is sitting alone.
"No one's here yet?" Ye Yaodong asked.
"How can it be so fast? It's only been twenty minutes. Why should we wait for half an hour? It takes time to ride a bike to the town. Who knows if people will leave immediately after answering the phone? Just wait, otherwise
Let’s all go back so that we don’t have to blow the wind here. It’s so cold. I want to go back.”
"Hey, you can't leave. Anyone can leave, but you can't leave." Zhou Laoer said with wide eyes.
Ah Cai gathered up the scarf tied around his neck and said angrily: "If you don't come, will I still sit with you until dawn?"
"Then...that shouldn't mean you won't come, right? We agreed to come and have a look."
"Who can say for sure? What if I'm not interested? Or I'm delayed by something?"
"Hey~ let's wait and see first."
The crowd was also talking, "No one wants it, right?"
"It seems like no one wants it?"
"It...it's not easy to drag this big guy ashore..."
"Let's watch first. It's only after six o'clock anyway, and it's still early to go to bed. Let's stay here for a while..."
The gossip nature of the villagers is still very strong. They are reluctant to leave without seeing the results. They are here anyway. There is no other activity except sleeping in the evening, so it is okay to go to bed later.
Ye Yaodong raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was still early at 6:30, so he waited patiently and chatted with A Guang for a while.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the sound of bicycles dinging, and the crowd behind became a little commotion, did everyone cheer up.
"People are coming, people are coming..."
Ye Yaodong also looked at the person who came, a middle-aged man with a beard, whom he didn't recognize...
Ah Cai smiled and went up to say hello. After listening to their conversation, everyone realized that this was also a goods collector, but one who collected large goods at the town dock.
As soon as people came over, they were amazed. They circled around the sea monster several times, took a stick and poked it, and then squatted down to take a closer look.
Everyone is pricking up their ears to hear what they have to say?
"Comrade...you want to..."
Ye Yaodong patted the Zhou family boss on the shoulder and said, "Call the boss..."
Who doesn't like being called boss?
When he goes to set up a stall at the entrance of the market, he likes to hear people call him boss!
"Uh, yes, boss, do you want to see this rare sea monster?"
Ye Yaodong waited there after hearing his question. He couldn't help but shook his head. He really couldn't speak.
Thinking that everyone was a neighbor and had a good relationship, he helped: "Boss, thank you very much for your trip at night. Can you take a closer look at this product and see how much it is worth?"
"The brothers spent a lot of effort to drag this back today. We have never seen this kind of marine creature here. It looks quite rare and strange."
"Although it's a bit ugly, if it were put on the market in the city, it would definitely attract a large number of people. I just don't know how much it could be worth?"
Ah Cai also helped to speak, "Yeah, I've never seen such a big head before. It's a living sign. Do you want to take it? It's still very new, although it's a bit ugly.
But I’m not sure the meat quality will be good.”
Whether it's good or not, you won't know until it is sold.
"I just made several phone calls and made appointments with several people. No one has arrived yet, but you arrived first. It's first come, first served. Take a look..."
The bearded businessman frowned, touched his beard, and shook his head, "I can't take it away. Although this unseen thing is rare, it looks useless. No one knows whether it can be eaten.
, and this head is so big, I don’t know how many years it is. Even if it is edible, the meat must be very old, very bad, and very unpalatable.”
"It's neither good-looking nor useful. It's a rarity and worthless, and it's just a fun thing to do."
"ah?"
The Zhou brothers were extremely disappointed, and it took a lot of effort from the boss to drag him back.
The villagers were also discussing there, and they all said things in hindsight.
What, just say that no one wants it...
What, it looks so ugly, it must not be edible. Who would take advantage of it and buy this thing?
What, it’s over now, it’s carried back in vain, and it has to be thrown back into the sea. How much effort does it take?
etc……
The eldest son of the Zhou family looked ugly and felt uncomfortable doing all the work in vain. He was so happy that he thought he could sell it at a good price with a rare name like Ye Yaodong did before.
Even if you can't sell it for the price, you should be able to sell it for a small amount. It's so big.
Who knew that I wouldn't want it?
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
He said flatteringly: "Otherwise, just give us whatever you want and don't let us work in vain..."
The man still shook his head, "It's useless for me to bring it here. It's such a big thing, there's no place to put it back, and it's very laborious."
Alas~
The Zhou brothers suddenly looked unhappy.
At this time, two more people came.
Ah Cai greeted the visitor with a smile again.
The two of them were also attracted by the sea monster on the ground, and they shone their flashlights back and forth to take a closer look. However, when Ah Cai asked them if they wanted to take it away, they, like the businessman just now, refused.
"It's really ugly, and it looks worthless. I don't know what it is. I just look at it as a rarity and don't dare to take it. If I do, I'll probably throw it away."
It’s pretty much the same statement.
And after they finished talking, the three people discussed it critically and criticized some of its shortcomings.
Now the hearts of the brothers in the Zhou family have become cold and dry.
Ah Cai was also disappointed, and his work was in vain!
"Then... do you want the Hongsheng Hotel? All the big guys before Adong were sold to that hotel, right? The big hairtail and the big squid..."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Don't have too much hope. I picked up two big guys and you can tell what they are. You can't tell what they are at all? Maybe you're not interested."
"I don't know if he will come, why don't you drag him home first?" Ah Cai asked with a frown.
This is too big and difficult to handle, and it will get in the way wherever you put it.
"This... this thing is so big, how can I drag it? It would take more than a dozen people to lift it."
"And there's no place to put it when you take it back..."
"What can we do?"
They didn't make any money and it was all in vain, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that they were at a loss, Ye Yaodong thought of his previous thoughts and patted his brothers.
"Would you like to take a piece of advice from me?"
"Ah? Do you have a way to sell it?"
"You said you said..."
"Tell me quickly? How are we going to fix this? How are we going to sell it?"
Others also pricked up their ears, wondering what he could do? What was his suggestion? Should he sell it or do something else?
Ah Cai and several other businessmen also looked at him curiously.
"This thing is too ugly. I don't know what it is. It's normal that no one wants it. I think you might as well call the Fisheries Bureau to take a look?"
"There are strange creatures in the sea. Let's report it to the Fisheries Bureau to see if there are any regulations for this unit? Maybe it will be better?"
Woof woof woof, please vote for me~
