Chapter 810 A call from Director Zhu
After quickly browsing the material, Zeng Shun excitedly came to Li Yi and praised repeatedly: "The materials you took are amazing, very clear, and you also took the fishing boats and fish luring lights into it. It's very touching. marvelous!"
“As long as it works.”
Li Yi drank the **** soup that Liu Yifei fed to his mouth and asked, "Then we are going back now?"
After nearly an hour of underwater shooting, Li Yi felt like he was a little addicted.
Floating in the deep sea, peeping at the ignorant fish below the sea from a dark angle, they were restrained by the "behemoth" that emitted bright and evil lights on the sea, spouting silk nets, and dragged away amidst roars. From Sea World…
This kind of perspective gives Li Yi a dreamy feeling of being separated from the world.
“No, it’s still early!”
Zeng Shun shook his head: "These fish are simply not enough. The captain has to continue going south and fill up the cold storage."
Lin Hongqi went to sea twice in September, but failed to catch any fish and lost tens of thousands of yuan in gas money.
This time he finally opened the business, so he naturally refused to let go of this good luck and would not go back until his position was liquidated.
This is exactly what Li Yi wanted.
He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy his diving addiction.
After pouring all the fish into the cold storage filled with ice cubes, the fishing boat continued to set sail.
By the time it gets daybreak, the fishing boat has already arrived at Xisha Island.
Xisha is a transfer station for fishermen. When encountering bad weather, they will come here for repairs.
The fishing boats that come and go sometimes bring some goods to the island for the residents of the island, and Lin Hongqi brought some.
Taking the opportunity to dock, Li Yi and his team also went to the island to take pictures.
In the fishermen's village by the sea, they saw large squid that looked like Cthulhu, held on bamboo sticks and hung on wooden racks to dry.
There are also pieces of mackerel that are pickled in salt and then dried and dehydrated in the sun.
At the fishermen's home, Li Yi and Liu Yifei also tasted various shells and barnacles that they had just picked up from the beach and cooked in a pot with a net bag.
Fresh shellfish is so delicious that it almost made Liu Yifei’s eyebrows fall off when cooked with just water and salt.
After she ate the first one, she didn’t stop, and the shells in front of her quickly piled up into a hill.
After finishing eating, Zeng Shun took a scale and weighed the shells in front of Liu Yifei. He found that the empty shells alone weighed more than five kilograms.
“This is so delicious.”
On the way back, Liu Yifei was still savoring the deliciousness of the shellfish and barnacle meat.
“So the freshest ingredients don’t need too much processing at all, and they are delicious when eaten directly.”
Li Yi also had endless aftertaste. He ate more than three times more than Liu Yifei.
Before leaving, Li Yi gave the uncle who cooked the shells five hundred yuan as compensation for eating up all the lunch for his family.
The uncle refused to take them anyway, saying that these shells were not valuable and they were everywhere on the beach. You could just pick them up.
In the end, he accepted the money after some hard talking, but before leaving, he forced Li Yi to give two large Cthulhu Gans.
These two squids got into the stomachs of everyone on the boat that night.
Over the next few days, the fishing boats made their way into the depths of the South China Sea.
While traveling during the day, the fishing boats turned on their lights at night to lure fish in the sea.
In the first two days, Li Yi would go into the water to take pictures every time he was fishing.
However, on the third day, Lao Gao's illness was almost recovered, so he took over Li Yi's work.
Finally, after the cold storage was full, he gave the order and the fishing boat turned back and headed towards the landing. The return journey took a full day and night, and finally arrived at the central pier in the early morning.
On the way back, Lin Hongqi had already contacted the owner of the dock using a satellite phone. Before they even reached the shore, most of the fish on the boat had been sold.
When they were dozens of nautical miles away from Sanya, the signal was restored, and Li Yi and Liu Yifei's mobile phones rang message notifications one after another, which lasted for more than a minute before stopping.
The two of them spent nearly half an hour processing the information, and they still had a bunch of phone calls to answer.
Li Yi received a bunch of messages, including greetings from friends, business information sent by Liu Xiaoli, and Reba's question about whether he disappeared to avoid paying for his meal.
But what’s more, fans on various platforms are concerned and urging him to not broadcast for many days in a row.
After Li Yi read all the messages, he decided to return a few calls based on priority.
He did not call Liu Xiaoli back first, but called Director Zhu of Jinling.
From the day before yesterday to yesterday when he was at sea, Director Zhu called him seven times in a row. Apparently, he had something important to do.
So, Li Yi called him back on the first call.
After the phone rang twice, Director Zhu answered the call.
“Hello? Mr. Li, you have answered the phone.”
Director Zhu's voice was a little joyful, and then he said without waiting for Li Yi's reply: "Wait a moment..."
As he spoke, his voice became distant: "Director Ma, please tell me your work plan for next week. I'll go out and take a call."
There was a sound of chairs being dragged and footsteps briskly heard.
After the sound of the door being closed, Director Zhu's voice came again: "Hello? Mr. Li?"
“I’m here, Director Zhu.”
When the fishing boat was traveling at high speed, the roar of the engine was still quite loud, so Li Yi made the noise louder.
Director Zhu obviously heard the noise here and asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, where are you? Why is it so noisy?"
“I’m in the South China Sea.”
Li Yi spoke louder again: "I'm filming a documentary. I've been at sea for the past few days and there's no signal."
“Oh, that’s it! Why can’t you get through the phone these days?”
When Director Zhu heard this, he suddenly realized.
“Director Zhu, I see you called me several times. Do you want to see me for anything?”
The environment was a bit noisy, so Li Yi got straight to the point.
“I have something to ask you about, and it’s urgent!”
Director Zhu sighed and asked, "When will you return to shore? Can you come to Jinling as soon as possible?"
“I can go ashore today, but what’s the matter?”
“It’s about Yunjin, but I can’t explain it clearly in a sentence or two…”
The fishing boat rode over the waves, and there was a bump that shook Director Zhu's subsequent words away. When Li Yi heard clearly again, he heard him say: "Anyway, come here as soon as possible. I can only ask you to do this. If you come, It’s too late, our Yunjin will be snatched away by the Neon Kingdom!”
"Being robbed by the Neon Country? Why should they rob it?"
Li Yi was confused when he heard it, but a jolt overshadowed Director Zhu's answer.
Still on the ship, it is indeed not a good time to answer the phone.
So Li Yi called into his cell phone and said, "It's really noisy here. I'll call you after I get ashore!"
