887. embarrassed
Generally speaking, after hearing him admit it, most people will continue to stare at him curiously until the boy's back disappears into the crowd. There are also one or two people who are free and have nothing to do, or who are too curious, so ask more words like "You are on a trip to Baodao". Generally speaking, the communication is friendly and polite, although with a hint of curiosity.
Of course, there are also uncles who talk a lot, who are the members of the "civil political bureau" that Yang Yi and Liangshi have met. After confirming his identity, they will continue to ask endlessly, and they will hold him up with interest: "Scared! You mainlanders can also come to Baodao? Are the procedures very complicated? Do you still have to be interrogated by the government? You will also be interrogated after you go back?"
When encountering this situation, Yang Yi could only say with a laugh and cry, "Uncle/Brother, you really think too much. Now the mainland is almost the same as your Baodao (of course they are both coastal areas), and I don't need to undergo any review when I go back. Just register with a special Taiwan Affairs Office and the Entry and Exit Administration Bureau." But overall, even if you are very curious and a rash question that should be said to be a "unintentional mistake", neither side will think that the mainlander/ Baodaodao people are like this because of the other party's identity and background.
So after finally asking about the address of the long-distance passenger transport company, Yang Yicai finally got rid of it and was treated like a giant panda as soon as he opened his mouth and got on the car going south.
...
The people of Baodao seem to call wandering "Paipao" and Yang Yi didn't know the origin of this title, but many of the names here were strange. After he was amused once or twice, he no longer felt anything wrong. It was like he was holding a glass of shaved ice that he had just bought, which was different from the shaved ice that had just emerged in the Magic City. Speaking of "eating", perhaps the taste of Baodao is not very authentic. At least after the descendants of the veterans continued for several generations, the taste developed in a direction suitable for the people of Baodao. However, in terms of material and portion, it is indeed better than any kind of shaved ice that boys have eaten. Well, like "Paipao", the name of consuming this cold drink here is also extremely intuitive - eating ice.
Walking through the city of Jiayi County, Yang Yi was really not used to the administrative divisions here. The county was actually a city, and the city was a district and township. When he was writing "Tu Grotto", he knew from his teacher that this administrative division was still inherited from the title of the National Temperament. So he didn't care too much, but went directly to Budai Town, Jiayi County, the hometown of the puppet Cai. At first, Yang Yi thought that Budai Town was called this because the town was the origin of the special culture of Baodao Island - the place where the puppet opera was originated. As a result, after entering Budai Town along the Binhai Highway, he got a tourist introduction booklet about Budai Town from the Pitian Palace at the head of the town, and only then did he know that it was named because of the terrain.
"Hey? Cai Zhiheng? I haven't heard of this person. If you look for someone, you don't even know where the house is. How can you ask someone if you meet someone?" After finally finding a convenience store in Budai Town, I looked at the same layout as many small convenience supermarkets in the mainland in the future, but the travel manual clearly showed that there were only "family convenience stores" with two stores. Yang Yi naturally bought a bottle of famous "marble soda" in Baodao in the past. He smiled and asked the boss, but he was despised by others. But it seemed that he had a smile.
It is a common problem for those who are outspoken businessmen. After scolding him, the aunt in her fifties continued to give advice to the boys: "If you only know the name, go to the police station to ask, they will definitely know. From here, go directly to Longjiang Avenue and go up Long Street, you can see the county police station's bag branch, or walk along here and go to the Sakura House of Sakura in Donggang, and there will be a bag branch, but the information in the station is definitely not as high as the branch, so it's better not to go there..."
In an instant, Yang Yi suddenly became a little Spartan. It turned out that there was a police station on Baodao, which felt very friendly. However, the aunt's nagging was really unstoppable. After thanking him repeatedly, the other party did not forget to sell the newly cooked specialties in his store: "Young people, this place is always for lunch. Do you want to try our secret sauce and charcoal eel? Let me tell you, many of you mainlanders come here to travel, and you have to eat my meal to be considered to have been to Jiayi County, otherwise you will feel regretful when you go back..."
Is it true that I recognize my identity? But it is not surprising that I can easily reveal my identity by quizing and answering people on Baodao with standard Mandarin. However, thinking about the other party’s guidance just now was quite meticulous. In addition, Yang Yi was not too anxious to come here this time, and he also had a travel idea, so he simply nodded and spent NT$40 to taste the so-called special karaoke eel rice. It is indeed the taste of Baodao, and the sweetness is a bit heavy, but it is not unacceptable for boys who have been used to the light flavor of Yuezhou since childhood.
After dinner, after following the instructions of the supermarket owner, the boy came to the police branch. The boy took out the whole document and reported his identity. With the instructions given by Daewoo before, he quickly explained his purpose. Moreover, the other party was quite generous and helped him, and quickly retrieved relevant information for him: "There are two people you are looking for, and the whole family is in the woods. The specific address is Xinzhong Street in the woods..."
What? The family is in the woods? I'm not here to find you natives in Baodao, what do you think of? The boy reacted after he complained in his heart. The lovers talked about the administrative divisions under the town, just like the old Tianjing, and they were also named "Xiaoli". But was the one who planned the division of Baodao at that time, and the guy's ancestral home was from Tianjing? With this doubt, the boy got the address list that he had just recorded. The other geology was No. 133, Jianan Street, Haomeiri. Both families were surnamed Cai, and they all had a male named Cai Zhiheng. Because there were no more clues, and the archive information on the branch was obviously a bit outdated, so Cai, who was already an assistant teacher in water conservancy engineering, had his relevant information not been updated in time here.
Yang Yi had to take the note and thank the others before he went to find the other person's home one by one.
He was lucky. He was originally a 50% chance, but even if he was wrong, he had no idea. He came directly to Haomeiri. But when he knocked on the door and asked, he found that he had really found the right place. However, after the old aunt who opened the door saw the boy at the door, she was obviously stunned, and then she said in confusion: "Is it you..."
"Hello Auntie, I'm from the mainland. My name is Yang Yi. This is my business card." After introducing myself with a smile, Yang Yi quickly handed over his business card. In fact, he was not willing to use this kind of thing, but in order to explain the identity of "I am not a child", he could only take out this thing temporarily. Obviously, a child who looked like a student suddenly handed over a business card. This behavior still surprised the old aunt who opened the door again. As he explained the purpose of the visit, the accident on the other party's face not only did not decrease, but even a hint of suspicion and impatient look.
"Youngsheng, you said you are the editor of the publisher. Come and ask our Ah Heng about book publishing?" The old aunt exposed her identity when she called Pizi Cai. She shook her head and continued to ask with a cautious look: "Why don't I know, what novels are there in our Ah Heng? Have you found the wrong person?"
"The aunt who was not wrong, Mr. Cai Zhiheng, from Budai Town, Jiayi County, was born in 1969, right? But I forgot exactly what month and day... I don't know. I am a doctor of water conservancy engineering from National Chenggong University. Is he an assistant teacher or just joined the company? I am not very clear. And this time I came to him to really discuss the copyright of his novels with him." Yang Yi could only explain patiently. In fact, if he changed the perspective of the old aunt opposite, he would also doubt what the mainland boy who suddenly came to him was thinking - a lie? It's not very similar. Could it be that he was inciting his own child to do spy work for the mainland?
After all, judging from the previous contact with the people of Baodao, they still have a deep-rooted view in their thinking, that is, the mainland is still in a political and high-pressure atmosphere. The mainland people who come to the island either do business or have special tasks. As for tourists and vendors, they may have more contact, but for ordinary people, can tourists come to the island for fun in the mainland?
"Let's do it, wait a moment, don't close the door!" Yang saw the other party's attitude of sending guests to see you off, so he had to quickly take out the items he had shown in the police station: "This is my identity certificate and the record of entering the island. This is a commercial invitation letter issued by Daeyu, who has a cooperative relationship with our company. Also, this is the instructions given to me by the police officer who received me just now at the Budai Town Branch of Jiayi County. I knew your address from the police station. If you have ulterior motives, your police station would not give such instructions to a mainlander casually, right? He also told me the address directly."
After receiving the various documents handed over by Yang Yi in confusion, the other party looked distrustful, but it was much more relaxed than before. Seeing the other party's appearance, the boy then breathed a sigh of relief. If he really drove the other party out for a meal, it would be hard to explain, and it would be a little frustrating. Then he thought that he was a "gold-medal book agent". If he was placed in China, he would just find a writer and say that he had liked his work and wanted to negotiate copyright. The other party was unhappy, just like something. Except for the writer whose name or pen name has a certain appeal, no one could refuse Yang Yi's invitation to publish it. But now, an aunt almost made him lose face.
