Go fishing: My fishing partner is a deep-sea monster

The old man was still young, but he was still young.

Just as he was in a daze, the gray-haired Grandpa Lin pushed the door open and walked out. Seeing Ye Qing, he looked at her for a few more times before shouting in surprise, "Qingzi."

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Grandpa Lin, it's me. We haven't seen each other for almost two or three years."

Grandpa Lin nodded and said, "Yes, definitely."

"You rarely come back after you get into college, and I'm in the city with my son."

"It's only been a short time since I came back."

Ye Qing pointed to the sign for sale and asked, "Grandpa Lin, there are more people at our dock now, why don't you open it?"

Grandpa Lin shook his head, pounded his lower back with his hand, and sighed, "I'm old, I can't open it anymore."

Ye Qing suddenly felt it was a pity.

Grandpa Lin's tavern carries many memories of him, the people in the village, and even most people on the island who make a living on the sea.

When he was a child.

He liked to come to the tavern to play and listen to the fishermen and vendors chatting. Those interesting things from all over the world seemed to be still vivid in his mind and ears when he recalled them at this moment.

It makes people miss it very much.

If Grandpa Lin didn't open a tavern, these memories would have come to an end.

He said with some regret: "I won't be able to eat the seafood soup you made in the future."

Grandpa Lin laughed and said: "This is not easy. I will teach you. Are you interested in taking over my tavern?"

"No transfer fee."

"Just pay some money."

Ye Qing shook his head and smiled: "I can't do it."

He can only say that his cooking is edible. If he opens a tavern, it will only destroy everyone's feelings and filters for the tavern, which is not beautiful.

Besides.

He doesn't have much energy to run a tavern now.

He came to the tavern to find Grandpa Lin, not for the tavern, but for Grandpa Lin's unique technique of making row hooks!

He didn't care about this night fishing for hairtail, but Kangzi and Zhang Jun were exhausted.

Row hooks save time and effort and yield great rewards. They are definitely a must-have "artifact" for fishing at sea.

Grandpa Lin joked: "When you were a child, you pestered me all day long and asked me to pass on the tavern to you."

Ye Qing scratched his head and smiled apologetically: "I was ignorant when I was a child."

"Grandpa Lin, since the tavern is for sale, what are you busy with?"

Grandpa Lin looked back at the dilapidated tavern, with a complicated look in his old eyes, and said: "The house is too old."

"Since it is for sale, it needs to be repaired a little."

"You can't sell a broken house that is about to collapse to others."

He is old like the house.

There is no successor.

His children all have jobs in big cities and are unwilling to return to Longwei Island.

He was not happy to live in a big city. It was so nice to live on an island, drinking with a bunch of old friends, basking in the sun, and fishing when bored.

He really couldn't stay there any longer, so he used the excuse that he had to deal with the tavern, and his children let him go back.

The tavern did need to be dealt with.

But he didn't plan to go back to his children. The big city was simply not a place for people to stay.

Ye Qing immediately shouted, "Then I'll help you."

Grandpa Lin shook his head, "I'm idle anyway, so I'll take it slow. I heard that you're making a lot of money at sea now, so go get down to business."

Ye Qing said, "The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and it's estimated that there will be heavy rain tomorrow."

"I can't go out to sea for a while."

"When I was a kid, you let me play in the tavern and made delicious food for me. I'm helping you now, and that's what I should do!"

If you want to take something, you must give it first.

Seeing Ye Qing's enthusiasm, Grandpa Lin didn't say anything else.

He has been running the tavern for many years. He has seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of things. It is no exaggeration to say that his eyelashes are empty.

He saw through Ye Qing's little thoughts at a glance.

Ye Qing had something to ask of him.

Ye Qing did not just work by himself. He called Kangzi. Kangzi came without saying a word when he learned that Grandpa Lin's tavern was also being renovated.

He ran over quickly and shouted happily: "Grandpa Lin is going to reopen the tavern."

"That's great."

"I've been craving seafood soup and old liquor for a long time."

For fishermen, after returning from the sea, they go to the tavern to sit, eat a bite of seafood, drink a sip of soup, and have a glass of old liquor. All the hard work is nothing.

Ye Qing shook his head: "Grandpa Lin renovated the tavern to sell it to the outside."

Kangzi was dumbfounded.

Grandpa Lin smiled and said, "Don't cook tonight, come to Grandpa Lin's place to eat."

"Today I'll make a deluxe seafood soup."

"As much old liquor as you can."

Ye Qing and Kangzi cheered immediately.

Just as they were about to start working, Cai Ya also came and greeted Grandpa Lin. When he learned that the tavern was going to be renovated, he rolled up his sleeves to help with the work.

Kangzi was unhappy: "Cai Ya, why are you joining in the fun."

Cai Ya shouted: "Who is joining in the fun? I'm here to help Grandpa Lin. What can you do to me?"

Kangzi was suspicious: "Aren't you here to cause trouble?"

Cai Ya rolled his eyes: "What can I do!"

"Don't worry, if you don't let me be a boatman, I won't be happy to be one."

"My father's sworn brother asked me to help on his boat."

Kangzi and Ye Qing looked at each other. Cai Ya's father's sworn brother was not only a big gangster in Xicun, but also a celebrity on the island, and was notoriously unruly.

Kangzi whispered: "Maybe the one who followed us last time was Cai Ya's cousin."

Ye Qing nodded and said nothing.

Last time.

The fishing boat owner who followed him was badly tortured by the electric eel, and he must have learned his lesson.

Cai Ya is willing to help.

That's good.

Grandpa Lin has already prepared the materials and tools for repair.

In fact, it's simple, just some tiles and wood.

The three young people worked together, and they didn't need any tools. They just carried the wood. Fortunately, the beams of the tavern were very strong and still very durable. They only needed to replace other wood used to support the tiles.

Hearing the noise, Uncle Ba and his friends also came.

There is strength in numbers.

It was not dark yet, and the tavern was completely new.

After they were done, Uncle Ba and his friends left, and no one wanted to stay for dinner or anything.

Ye Qing and the other three young people were about to leave, but they were stopped by Grandpa Lin. They had to drink the seafood soup today.

Half an hour later.

Grandpa Lin stood at the bar, while Ye Qing, Kangzi and Cai Ya sat at a table by the window. Looking at the steaming seafood soup on the table, they could not help but drool.

Kangzi shouted: "Grandpa Lin, to be honest, I have been craving this for a year or two."

"My dad's soup doesn't taste the same!"

"You have to make this seafood soup."

Grandpa Lin cleaned up the table, grinning from ear to ear.

Ye Qing invited him to join in the meal.

Grandpa Lin shook his head and refused, saying: "I ate a lot when I was cooking just now."

"I am old, so I eat less."

"You guys eat."

"The old liquor is chilled, drink it quickly."

He, an old man, did not want to join in the fun, and without him to disturb them, the three young people were more comfortable.

Ye Qing and the other two did not insist.

The old liquor is blended.

It tastes good and is not easy to get drunk. Even if you drink too much, you won't have a headache the next day.

"Iced old shochu!"

"The more you drink, the more you get drunk!"

"Come on."

Kangzi shouted, pouring wine for the three people.

Ye Qing raised his glass.

Cai Ya also raised his glass.

Speaking of which.

Even though the three of them grew up together, this was the first time they sat down to drink.

Cai Ya was a little nervous.

Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "Cheers!"

"Pah."

The three of them clinked their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah!"

The three of them shouted at the same time. Old shochu is not beer. It has a certain alcohol content and is hot in the throat. Seeing the three young people drinking one glass after another, Grandpa Lin also smiled.

He likes to be with young people, and he feels younger.

After three rounds of drinking.

Ye Qing went to Grandpa Lin and said a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa Lin, if you don't run the tavern, what are you going to do next?"

Grandpa Lin shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll just take care of my old age."

Hearing this, Ye Qing felt even more embarrassed to speak up. Making hooks is a laborious job. Grandpa Lin is old, and asking him to make hooks is a bit too much.

Grandpa Lin saw that he was worried and took the initiative to say: "Qingzi, if you have something to say, just say it."

Ye Qing heard it and gritted his teeth and said: "I'll ask you to help me make hooks first."

Grandpa Lin raised his eyebrows: "This matter."

Ye Qing nodded.
