Chapter 188 The Old Village Chief is Retiring
Ye Qing walked into the room. Kangzi stood on a stool, holding up a glass of wine and shouting, "This glass of wine is to celebrate our great victory."
Everyone raised their glasses.
After finishing his drink, Kangzi raised his glass again: "Thank you Qingzi for the second glass!"
Cai Ya also said: "Before, I didn't quite understand why Qingzai didn't let us take action."
"Seeing Dai Hui so angry that he vomited blood just now, I really admire Qingzi's wisdom and bravery."
"Hahaha."
Ba Shu and others were also amazed. They beat Guan You and others so badly without leaving any evidence. This method was really amazing.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I'm not that amazing. I'm just being a little cautious."
Li Fu stood up and said, "Let me talk about the third glass of wine."
"Guan You has practically lost his reputation this time. I doubt he'll be able to stay in office as village chief for long. Without him as the troublemaker leading the West Village, our neighboring villages will be able to live in much greater peace."
"The most important thing is that for the first time, our South Village dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the West Village."
"On behalf of Nancun, I'd like to offer a toast to Qingzi."
When Ye Qing heard this, he was so terrified that he didn't dare let the village chief toast him.
He quickly refused.
Finally, he and Li Fu drank a cup together, with the lip of his cup pointed at the bottom of Li Fu's cup, not daring to overstep the mark.
Ba Shu's people followed suit and went to toast him.
Ye Qing couldn't run away, so he could only fight on, and he was busy having fun.
This drinking session lasted for more than three hours, and almost all the old liquor in the tavern was consumed.
It was already late at night when everyone came out of the tavern, and they didn't know when the storm had stopped.
But the weather was still bad, with dark clouds and strong winds and waves. The waves hit the dock, splashing white waves and bubbles and making a loud noise.
Every autumn rain brings a chill.
After this storm, the wind was obviously much colder and it gave people goose bumps when it blew on them.
but.
It's just a matter of adding a coat.
Compared with the south of the Yangtze River or even further north, the autumn in Longwei Island is still very warm.
Ye Qing didn't feel anything, as if he was immune to cold or heat.
Uncle Ba walked in front and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be careful."
"It's collapsed a little more here."
"Village Chief, when can we repair this pier?"
Li Fu smiled bitterly and said nothing.
The pier is not just the pier of Nancun Village, but the pier of the entire Longwei Island. His opinion as a village chief does not count.
He wanted to renovate it, but firstly, he had no money, secondly, he had no money, and thirdly, he was about to retire, so he decided to leave the opportunity to the next person.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Qing and whispered, "Qingzi, you really don't want to take over my job?"
Ye Qing shook his head: "Grandpa, this is not something I can accept just because I say so. Besides, I really don't have the intention to do so."
Li Fu saw that he was serious and sighed, "If this continues, our village will soon have a college student village official."
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "Has it been decided?"
Li Fu said, "It's almost certain. I will call to apply tomorrow."
"I'm old and can't do it anymore. Our village needs to develop. To put it bluntly, you can't let the village hold you back."
"The future world belongs to you young people."
"Find a young man here, he should be able to help you."
Ye Qing felt warm in his heart and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for thinking of me like this."
Li Fu waved his hand, went to a fork in the road, and walked into the alley alone.
Go home.
Zhang Jun drank a little too much and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
Ye Qing took a shower, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.
He touched his flat belly and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
The dragon ball in his body was still absorbing energy, and he felt like a bottomless pit.
The food you eat will be converted into energy instantly, and you will not feel full at all.
It seems that drinking alcohol will convert more energy.
"Could it be that this Dragon Ball is also an alcoholic?"
"I don't know when I can make up for the lost energy."
"If this continues, I'll become the god of wine who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"Hmm... seems not bad."
Ye Qing has always been optimistic and always thinks positively about problems. He fell asleep quickly.
…
Early the next morning.
Ye Qing woke up and looked at the time. It was just six o'clock. In total, he had only slept for four hours.
I still feel refreshed and relaxed.
Just a little hungry.
get up.
Open the balcony door.
The weather today is still not very good.
It's very windy.
Walking to the balcony corridor, Ye Qing stretched comfortably.
Looking at the endless sea, there are many clouds floating in the sky, white clouds and dark clouds alternating, swept away by the wind, forming a picture of different styles in the blue sky, which is extremely gorgeous.
Ye Qing couldn't help but look at it for a while longer. After the sun rose, he turned around and went back to the house, washed up, and went downstairs under the sunlight.
There's nothing to eat at home.
There were only some tiger prawns, two blue crabs, and a red grouper.
Ye Qing looked at the rice bag and decided to cook seafood porridge.
I ran to the small vegetable garden at the door to pick some vegetables and stir-fried them simply. There were also pickled radishes at home, which were considered a must-have side dish on the table of the people on Longwei Island.
It’s best to drink porridge.
Half an hour later.
The seafood porridge was cooked. When the lid of the pot was opened, a rich aroma filled the air. Zhang Jun, Kangzi and Heizi got up after smelling the aroma.
"Qingzai."
"Brother."
"Brother Ye."
The three of them greeted each other.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Get up, come and have some porridge."
Heizi sat down and yawned: "Brother Ye, you are so energetic. You drank so much yesterday and slept so late, but you still got up so early to cook porridge."
"He is truly a god."
Kangzi filled a bowl of porridge and took a big sip without waiting for it to cool down. He slurped it down and said, "Qingzi's cooking skills are getting better and better."
“The seafood porridge is so delicious.”
“I feel much better all over after drinking it.”
Ye Qing said, "I cooked a lot, everyone should drink more."
"Take a nap after drinking."
"The wind and waves are still strong today. Uncle Feng and others have sent a message. It is estimated that they will arrive at noon."
Zhang Jun was a little worried and said, "I'm afraid the fish on the boat won't last that long."
Ye Qing said: "There is nothing we can do about it."
"Even if the fish is dead, it's still fresh, so the price won't be much different."
For fishermen, the biggest enemy is the unpredictable weather. They are lucky enough to return safely during the storm.
There are many shipwrecks on the seabed.
Behind every shipwreck, there is one or more broken families.
The biggest reason for the shipwreck is the weather!
After everyone finished breakfast, Zhang Jun helped clean up, while Kangzi and Heizi went back to catch up on their sleep.
Seeing Zhang Jun and the other two yawning, Ye Qing thought that the depletion of Dragon Ball's energy had also caused his ability to affect everyone's sleep to disappear.
After Zhang Jun went to bed, Ye Qing simply moved a box of white wine, lay down on the lounge chair in the yard, opened a bottle of wine, and started drinking it.
After finishing a bottle of wine, he clearly felt the energy of the Dragon Ball increased.
There's hope.
We drank until noon and finished a box of white wine.
He burped. After drinking so much wine, the energy of the Dragon Ball increased by about one tenth. Besides that, let alone being drunk, he didn't even feel the urge to urinate.
Afraid of scaring Zhang Jun and the others, he quickly hid the empty white wine bottle in the corner, contacted Lao Feng, and learned that it was still drifting on the sea and would not arrive for a while.
He simply walked out to the dock and checked the boat. The fish in the live fish tank were still alive, but they were very listless and obviously dying.
The golden grouper, however, may be a mutant, so it is still alive and kicking.
When we got off the boat, we took some tiger prawns and blue crabs. We saw some fishermen selling tidepools and large conches, so we bought some each.
I went to the grocery store to buy some white wine and saw some fresh beef brisket, only ten pounds in total, so I bought it all.
Back home.
Kangzi had already gotten up. Seeing Ye Qing's large and small bags, he quickly took them and asked, "Qingzi, is this all we're going to eat for lunch?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, blue crab glutinous rice, salt-baked conch, braised tidal flatbread, dry pot beef brisket, and garlic vermicelli shrimp."
"Just something simple to eat."
Kangzi said, "I'll take care of it."
Not long after, Heizi and Zhang Jun also woke up. They were not idle either and helped to deal with the situation.
Finally, the leaves are stir-fried.
The three of them watched Ye Qing cooking and stood by without leaving.
Hei Zai said, "Brother Ye's cooking movements seem to be more steady than those of a chef in a five-star hotel."
“It’s very pleasing to the eye.”
“Just by looking at it, you can tell that the dishes cooked here will be delicious.”
Not long.
Five dishes were served on the table. Because the portions were large, they were put directly in bowls. The four of them finished the meal quickly. Just as they were about to clear the dishes, Lao Feng called.
Without bothering to pack up, Ye Qing and his companions hurried out and notified Cai Ya and Li Shi to meet at the dock.
As soon as we reached the dock, we saw Lao Feng and his crew's fishing boat, also caught in the wind and waves, staggering towards the dock. Before it even reached the shore, Lao Feng called out, "Qingzi, if you hadn't gone back to the dock, we wouldn't have come here today."
"The wind and waves are really too strong."
"I guess the wind will not stop blowing these days."
"Let's see our catch."
