This time, Niner just pursed his lips, took off the fish hanging on the hook, re-hooked it and threw it into the cold lake water. Obviously, he was too lazy to listen to Wei Ran's lies that even dogs would not believe.

.

In the still bright sunshine, the brothers Wei Ran and Ninel were sitting leisurely by the pier of the island.

Near noon, Olga even kindly brought them hot fish and mushroom pie and a kerosene heating stove. By the way, she also took away Korava, who was playing crazy with the dog, and also treated Nine.

I highly praised the dozen or so fish I caught in one morning.

As for Wei Ran, the air force guy, he consumed a lot of bait for making nests, but he didn't even catch a single fish scale.

"This means no fish frying is allowed, otherwise you would have to make an appointment in advance to pick up my shoes."

Wei Ran muttered while biting into the steaming pie, completely ignoring the fact that Niniel, who was also holding the pie, pulled up another fish.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think that if Nineel was sent to the island in that time and space, he might be able to feed everyone with just one fishing rod.

After finishing his lunch by guarding the kerosene heater at the dock, Wei Ran simply took out his gravity knife, scraped off the scales and disemboweled all the fish caught by Ninel, and subconsciously sorted the fish scales and internal organs into two plastic buckets.

inside.

"Are you planning to make fish scale aspic?" Ninel asked abruptly, "or some Chinese delicacy?"

"Have you ever eaten fish scale aspic?" Wei Ran asked, stunned.

“Of course I have”

Ninel replied, "Before my mother committed suicide, she would cook a large pot of aspic with fish scales every winter. And she would also collect the fish offal like you. The fish offal in winter is very clean and can be boiled

Boiled fish oil is very useful in treating chilblains.”

"Do you want to eat fish scale aspic?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Ninel swallowed subconsciously, "I haven't eaten for a long time."

"Didn't Mrs. Yana or Olga do it for you?" Wei Ran picked up the plastic bucket with fish scales as he spoke.

"They all just tore off the fish skin, so I never thought about it," said Ninel.

"Pack your things and let's go back"

Wei Ran, who had been lazy all morning, suddenly became a lot more "lively", "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make fish scale jelly for you."

"Can you do it?" Ninel asked suspiciously.

"certainly"

Wei Ran confidently answered in the affirmative, and at the same time poured the small half bucket of fish offal into the river. He did not need to eat these things now.

By the time he put the processed fish into the plastic bucket he had just vacated, Nineel had already put away the fishing rod.

The restless brothers returned to the wood-carved house with the dog Beria, whose water had dripped all over the floor.

While Wei Ran was cooking delicious food for his good brother, in Petersburg City, Aurora, who was wearing a smart formal suit, also brought the Katenka sisters, Marta and others, under the introduction of Dalia, and

Relevant parties have completed negotiations on film shooting.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Happy cooperation, Ms. Valeria."

Suisui stood up and shook hands with the woman across the negotiating table solemnly, "The movie will start shooting after the Christmas holiday. According to my prediction, if everything goes well, by next spring, the birch trees on the shore of Lake Ladoga will begin to bud.

It will be released when the time comes.”

"Aurora, are you sure this movie will be released for free?" Across the negotiation table, a woman also wearing a formal suit asked for the last time.

"Sure, very sure."

Suisui pointed to the cruiser Aurora not far outside the window, "My parents fell in love on that warship, and that's how I got my name. My father can barely be considered a Leningrader."

.

So although I am not a Petersburger in the strict sense, I am very willing to do something for this heroic city.

And being able to make this movie is a huge honor for both me and the studio I'm responsible for."

"In that case, let me follow your decision." The woman in formal clothes across the negotiation table took the initiative to shake Suisui's hand again.

"Aurora, this is a rare visit. Next, let Olena take you for a walk around the city."

Dalia, who had been listening in, spoke up at the right time and said, "Now that you have finished talking about business matters, please leave some time for me to chat with my old friends."

"Then I won't disturb you." Suisui politely sent her blessing, "I wish you a peaceful afternoon."

Watching Olena, Suisui and others leave the cafe, which did not seem to receive any other customers today, the woman in formal clothes picked up the coffee cup again and took a sip, without raising her head and asked, "She

Is she your daughter?"

"Which one do you mean?"

"Who else could it be, of course Olena."

The woman in formal clothes put down her coffee cup and said, "She looks exactly like you when you were young. She is exactly the same. Does she know?"

"Probably already know"

Dalia looked at the retreating figure outside the window and said, "But we are all pretending not to know."

“This is already good”

The woman in formal clothes also looked out the window, "What's going on with that beautiful mixed-race girl?"

"The professional manager I hired"

Dalia said with a smile, "We always have to earn some hard-earned money for retirement."

"She is a smart girl," said the woman in formal clothes. "When her free movie is released, all Petersburgers will remember her."

"You don't seem to mind?"

"Why do you mind? I wish there were more people like this."

The woman in formal dress snapped her fingers and said, "Instead of this smart girl, let's talk about the historian who hangs out with women? What's going on with him?"

"One of the original shareholders of my studio, he provided most of the scripts for the films produced by the studio."

Dalia said casually, "He is just a historian, nothing special."

"Where are the beautiful twins just now? There's nothing special about them?"

"Of course not"

Dalia also picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said with a smile, "They, like Aurora, are the girlfriends of the Chinese historian who is surrounded by women, but he is a Chinese after all, isn't he?

?

As long as he doesn't mess with my Olena, what does it matter to me, a Soviet, if he has a hundred girlfriends?"

"It seems it has nothing to do with me, a Russian."

A bright smile appeared on the face of the woman in formal attire, she picked up the coffee cup and clinked it with Dalia's cup, "Just like that beautiful girl said, I wish us a peaceful afternoon."

"It has indeed been many years since we sat together and drank coffee leisurely like this," Dalia said with great nostalgia.

"I often sit and drink coffee with your brother," the woman in formal clothes said with a smile, "He thinks very highly of the playboy-like historian you trained."

"What did he say?" Dalia asked with a smile.

"He said that the Chinese man made him feel like Beria who had just crawled out of the coffin and was resurrected, a calm and paranoid madman." The woman in formal clothes said casually.

"I asked him to pretend"

Dalia said equally casually, "He is just a historian after all. If he doesn't pretend to be more fierce, he will cause a lot of trouble."

"We are friends"

The woman in formal clothes suddenly changed the subject, "We have been friends since the orphanage. Even if I was adopted, this matter has not changed, so..."

"I'm just used to lying."

Dalia smiled self-deprecatingly and put the cup down casually, "Valeria, stop wasting time testing, even if I tell you everything, you will still keep it a secret for me, so how about keeping it simple?"

“Then let’s go hang out on the Aurora cruiser.”

The woman in formal clothes also put down her cup and stood up, "I will help you keep all secrets, just like we agreed at the beginning."
