As evening fell, everyone finished their work in the workshop and went home.
Feng Ye sat at the door watching his son and nephew play with Xiao Hei, while waiting for the Ye sisters, Ye Qingling and Ye Qingyu, to finish preparing dinner.
Suddenly, a figure pushing a cart appeared on the road by the sea, and turned a corner towards his house.
The little black dog immediately stopped playing with the two cubs and started barking wildly at the newcomers.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Hey, Little Black, well done."
Feng Ye was overjoyed; it really was a good dog.
In the countryside, isn't the main purpose of keeping dogs to guard the house and property?
A little over a month ago, Xiao Hei was still young and couldn't be relied on.
Although he is not very old yet, it seems that he is already capable of taking on this role.
"Don't make a sound."
Feng Ye tried issuing an order.
To his surprise, Xiao Hei really stopped barking, which made him even happier.
Feng Ye stood up and went over to see who it was.
His house is a bit far from the coastline, and it was getting dark, so it was hard to see clearly.
Only when they got closer did they recognize it as Secretary Xiao.
"Secretary Xiao, is there something you need that's coming over so late?"
Secretary Xiao said irritably, "You guys ran off too fast this afternoon. By the time I finished worshipping Mazu, you were nowhere to be seen. I had to bring it to you myself."
"What is this that requires your special treatment?"
Feng Ye was completely baffled.
Party Secretary Xiao pointed to the cart: "What else could it be but a great white shark fin?"
"You dismantled the great white shark?"
"Otherwise what? What's the point of keeping it?"
"It's rare to see such a large great white shark, let alone catch it. It would be great to keep it as a specimen!"
Feng Ye presented the great white shark to Mazu with the intention of making it into a specimen and keeping it in the Tianhou Palace.
I just forgot to mention it in the afternoon.
No one expected that Secretary Xiao and his team would act so quickly, dismembering the great white shark in just two or three hours.
Secretary Xiao curled his lip: "You're a typical example of thinking with your ass. Are you going to keep this as a specimen?"
"Tell me, where can I find someone who understands this? How long would it take to find one?"
"Also, who's going to pay for it?"
"Don't they think about the weather right now? How many days can a great white shark stay? It'll probably start to rot and stink in a day or two."
"Ah, this..."
Feng Ye was speechless.
He really hadn't thought about any of that.
These days, it's really not easy to find people or companies that make animal taxidermy.
Forget about the county; you'll have to look in the city or even the provincial capital.
Moreover, even if it is found, the cost will be considerable.
He felt a little regretful, but he had to admit that Secretary Xiao's words made sense.
Realistic considerations forced us to abandon this unrealistic idea.
He scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh: "Secretary Xiao, you're right, I didn't think it through. So what happened to the great white shark?"
"Shark meat isn't very tasty, but it tastes much better when made into meatballs. We're having a banquet the day after tomorrow, so serving shark meatballs would be a good idea, and it'll save us some money."
Secretary Xiao then pointed to the basket on the cart, "And this shark fin is back to you."
Feng Ye waved his hand: "There's no need. Since it was offered to Mazu, I never intended to take it back."
"The Goddess Mazu surely received your heartfelt wishes."
Secretary Xiao smiled and continued, "But we can't get the shark fin to eat right away, and making shark fin soup is also troublesome. After discussing it, our council decided to return it to you."
"Alright, I'll keep it for myself."
Feng Ye nodded, then asked, "What about the shark's head and bones? You didn't just throw them away, did you?"
"Of course we didn't throw it away. We preserved it perfectly and plan to display it outside the Tianhou Temple after processing it."
"That's a good idea."
At that time, they had no idea that this action would later be imitated by many others.
This resulted in countless large marine animal bones being displayed outside the Tianhou Temple.
However, by a twist of fate, this became a unique attraction on White Stone Island, attracting many tourists to visit.
