A boatman looked at Old Ears and brought up old stories again: "Old Ears, I've finished my story earlier, now it's your turn."
Old Ears sat among the crowd, peeling peanuts and striking a pose: "You told your story to just one person, but my story is for several dozen people to hear, that's a big loss for me."
But then Chen Ji laughed on the side and said: "You've traveled far and wide, much more than us, let us have a bit of a treat."
The boatmen surrounded Old Ears, provoking: "Exactly, exactly, you're so incredible, why bother arguing over these things with us."
"A brave man can't withstand a tortoise's praise," Old Ears chuckled and squinted at them: "Come on, what do you want to hear?"
A young boatman sat up straight: "We heard from Old Li that you have been to Japan and Korea, are there any impressive Executive Officers over there?"
Old Ears shook his head: "No."
