Chapter 901 Hang up and Take Pictures
Return to the Small Fishing Village in 1982 Text Volume Chapter 901 Hanging up to take pictures, we have to do business for a while. No one dared to persuade us to drink, so we only poured a bowl each.
After most of the meal was finished, the boiling sound of children outside the house also attracted their attention, and they all heard the rumble of a large car approaching.
Everyone immediately put down their chopsticks, stood up and walked outside the house.
A large group of children at the door had already jumped forward excitedly. The adults behind them were shouting, asking them to be careful and not to be run over by the car.
The neighbors on the left and right also heard the noise at this time and ran out of the house. Everyone looked not far away.
A tall crane was driving towards the beach, followed by a large Jiefang with a spacious carriage.
Fortunately, their beach is relatively remote and deserted, and the land is wide enough to allow large trucks such as the Jiefang Crane to drive in. Otherwise, nothing would happen.
"Ah, the car!"
"The car is here..."
"Ah, my God, what a big car, what kind of car is that..."
"Wow... what kind of car is that..."
"What kind of car is that..."
What the neighbors were talking about, they all quickly thought of it and followed it to see.
Those of them who had just come out of the house quickly followed.
As soon as the crane and Liberation arrived at the beach, they paused. As soon as Secretary Chen and the others approached, someone got out of the car immediately and saluted with a standard military salute. Looking at Ye Yaodong, he couldn't help but stand up straight.
It turns out that he was transferred from the official department recently. No wonder he said how could he come so quickly.
Ye Yaodong listened to them say a few words, and Director Chen climbed directly onto the deputy seat of the Great Liberation to lead the way.
Others were shouting at the villagers to step back, not get close to the cart, and let the cart pass first.
When the car started to move forward, the whole village started running behind it with excitement on their faces. Now there were more people than in the afternoon, and most of the people who had gone to sea had returned.
After Ye Yaodong stood there for a while, he unexpectedly did not run away. Instead, he told Lin Xiuqing and then turned around and returned. He wanted to go home to get his camera!
When he returned from the sea after taking pictures yesterday, he took the camera off the boat and took it home, just in case Ah Qing was looking for it, so he could take it out directly to avoid exposing his secret.
And he doesn't go out to sea every day, so he doesn't need to put it on the boat. It would be too tidal to put it on the boat. Anyway, he just needs to remember to take it with him when he goes out to sea every day, and bring it back when he comes back, which will basically not arouse suspicion.
Ah Qing couldn’t bear to take pictures with it anyway.
He hurried home to get his camera, then told the old lady to lock the courtyard door, and then rode his bicycle toward the beach.
The old lady was sitting in the yard with Xiaojiu watching her play ball. The table in the main room was in a mess, and she didn't dare to clean it up. She only dared to sweep away the shelled garbage on the table, for fear that they would come back later after finishing their work. It would be too embarrassing to continue eating while she put away the bowls and chopsticks.
When Ye Yaodong went to the beach, there were still people following behind him, and there was already a sea of people outside the pier.
He struggled to squeeze in bit by bit from the outside, and the people on the side yelled angrily, but when they turned around to see him, they all took the initiative to give him a seat.
The people standing in the front row were the village cadres and Secretary Chen, and the two people who had just driven over in a big car had already gone down to check. It happened that the tide had receded to the bottom at this time.
The basking shark stranded on the beach remained motionless as the two kept flipping its fins. It would move twice before, but now it felt as if it had lost the characteristics of life.
Others were also discussing whether they had died from the sun?
"It should be dead. It has been in the sun for a day and then stranded at night. Although there is a high tide, the water is not very high. With such a big body, how much does it need to drink to stay full?"
"That's right. With such a big body, you don't even know how much you need to eat."
"He must be dead. He can't even move. The sun is so poisonous today..."
And Director Chen and the others are discussing how to hoist this basking shark?
Just wait for the opportunity to hang it in its mouth and lift it up.
The camera that Ye Yaodong was playing with was none of his business anyway, so he was going to find a perfect location. When the crane hoisted the basking shark later, he would just click and take pictures.
Fortunately, it's not dark yet, it's only after 6 o'clock, not yet 7 o'clock. It gets dark very late now, and it doesn't get completely dark until 7:30 o'clock. You can still see later.
While Director Chen was talking, he turned around and saw him playing with the camera, and his eyes lit up.
"Hey, Comrade Ye Yaodong, you actually still have a camera?"
"Yes, I just bought it not long ago, just for the convenience of taking pictures. Life passes by for decades, so why don't we leave more photos? Otherwise, it would be a shame. When I get older, I want to know what I looked like when I was young."
"Yes, yes, it's good to have a camera. You can take two more pictures later and develop them. Remember to send me a copy."
"Okay, no problem. Can I help Director Chen take a photo with this big basking shark later?"
"Haha, that's good, then I'll trouble you. I'll pay for the money for developing the photos and handing in the papers."
"Oh, you are out of your mind when you say this. There shouldn't be much film left here. I'll take the photo for you so I can get it developed tomorrow."
The village cadres on the side who were about to make a move suddenly stopped eating again, and there wasn't much left...
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Ye Yaodong also watched their actions, thinking that he might be merciful and let them take a group photo later. He couldn't offend the village cadres by offending anyone. It was better for the county magistrate to take charge now.
After they discussed how to hoist it up, several village cadres took the initiative to disperse the villagers, asking them to retreat and stop surrounding the cart, where everyone was groping around.
And there are also naughty children who dare to climb up to the trunk of the Dajie to play and jump while adults are not paying attention.
They quickly called all the children down and told them to retreat and not to crowd around.
However, some people retreated, but there were also some who were stubborn and just wanted to get closer. Later, they borrowed a broken fishing net nearby and opened it like a cordon to prevent anyone from getting close.
Then the crane started operating, and the villagers were in an uproar. Some of them had never even been to the county town in their entire lives. They had never seen a crane before, and their expressions were even more accommodating than the children.
The children shouted with unbridled excitement. After all, who can resist a construction truck?
Ye Yaodong also deliberately stood a little further away, intending to take pictures of the crane as well, but just as the basking shark was being hoisted, the people below screamed, but the operator did not hear it, and the machine did not stop.
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care and tried his best to focus and take a picture.
It wasn't until a basking shark several meters long was hoisted to the open space on the shore that he realized why the people below him had screamed in surprise.
When the basking shark was hoisted up, its belly kept moving, and the tails of several lampreys were still outside the belly, which looked a bit scary.
"Ah! What is this? Is that eel on the belly?"
"It's a lamprey..."
"Oh, no wonder it died so quickly...I just said that such a big animal can die easily..."
"It turns out that there is something stirring in the stomach. Let's just say that although the sun is so hot after being stranded for a day, there should be water under the stomach, so it shouldn't die so quickly."
Ye Yaodong was also disgusted by the squirming things in his stomach. Mud had already gotten in. No wonder he only caught a dozen of them.
This morning, it kept raising its tail, probably because it was struggling in pain, and then it became more and more dying.
Oh, what a pity, he is destined to die.
You can’t eat this fish even after you kill it, you can only use it for research or make specimens, but the fins are good...
He made a visual inspection and found that the larger pectoral fin at the bottom was probably over one meter long and seventy or eighty centimeters wide.
Just for its fins alone, this basking shark is worth a lot. This is the legendary Tianjiu Fin. However, most folks definitely don’t know the value of the basking shark’s fins. They definitely think it’s similar to the fins of other sharks. It’s no bigger than the fins of other sharks. A little bit.
It depends on how these people deal with it. The inland areas have just been lifted out of poverty, and Tianjiu Wings probably haven't become popular yet. It should be more famous in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
If this is carried back, it is probably more likely to be used for research. Basking sharks are the second largest fish after whale sharks, and they are also rare. It is rare to encounter stranded and injured ones.
If a few shark fins are really cut off and made into Tianjiu fins, we will see if he has the money in a few years. If he has money, buy them at a low price.
Director Chen also curiously squatted next to the basking shark and watched closely, "Can we catch those eels in its belly?"
"It's not easy to catch. It's all inside. You have to disembowel it."
After Ye Yaodong said a word, he kept backing up and asked Director Chen to turn to look at him. He took advantage of the situation and took a picture.
"Perfect, got it."
Director Chen was cheerful and didn't say anything. He continued to look down. After looking for a while, he stood up and circled around the basking shark.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong, have you photographed this whole one?"
"I only took pictures in the sea."
"Then let's take a picture of the whole thing so that we can see it more clearly on land."
"Okay." Ye Yaodong thought for a moment after taking the photo, "Director Chen can either hang it up, stand it high and take another photo. If it is erected, it will probably be comparable to a building, and it will look more intuitive and shocking."
"Okay, okay."
Director Chen was indeed very excited when he saw such a big fish. He immediately agreed and ordered someone to hang it up again.
"Wow~"
"Wow~"
"so big!"
The crowd was in an uproar!
No one can imagine the shocking feeling of a seven or eight meter long basking shark being hoisted up. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you truly feel what it means to be huge.
When it was first hoisted up, it was like dragging it up. It didn't stand upright like this.
You have never seen a fish taller than a house in your life. You may have seen it in the sea, but nowhere in the sea can you compare it like this. Today is an eye-opener.
If it hadn't been for a cordon set up with fishing nets, the villagers would have rushed up to touch it.
Ye Yaodong was also very smart. After taking the picture of the standing basking shark, he took a separate picture of Director Chen, and also took a group photo of the group of them.
By the way, he called out to the village leaders to take a group photo together, and asked Director Chen to help him take a group photo.
How could there not be a photo of him in such a highlight moment!
