Yesterday it was tuna, today it's king crab—what kind of luck is this?
A reporter emerged from the crowd, holding a camera. "We are reporters from Xianlin Evening News. Can you tell us how these fish were caught?"
Mingjing was stunned. If this were to make the newspapers, the whole country would know. How could she ever have a peaceful life?
"No, it was just luck, just good luck. Everyone was yelling at us that we needed to get to work, otherwise the fish would die and we'd have to pay compensation."
Mingjing deliberately started shouting.
All the fish were loaded onto the truck, and Mingjing drove to the Longsheng purchasing point.
On the way, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that she wasn't in the future, where there was no live streaming or the internet, otherwise she would have been really doomed.
Just as Mingjing was thinking this, he saw a group of cameras set up at the entrance of Longsheng purchasing point in the distance.
"Mingjing is here!" The woman ran over, holding a microphone and pointing at Mingjing.
Before Mingjing could react, she was surrounded.
"Mingjing, can you tell me how you caught these fish?"
"Mingjing, we heard you found a piece of ambergris. Could you tell us where you found it and how much you sold it for?"
"I heard you bought a car yesterday, and the house is almost finished. What are your plans for the future?"
Mingjing felt dizzy and her ears were ringing, as if she had entered a duck pen.
She took a deep breath. Oh well, since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it and use the opportunity to promote herself.
"I want to develop tourism. This house has many rooms and will be ready for use in another month. For those who want to know how I fish, please..."
You can come find me here; it's only 200 yuan for a sea trip, and I guarantee you'll come back with a full catch.
Mingjing thinks this free publicity is well worth it.
After dealing with the reporters for a long time, they finally got rid of the bunch of troublemakers. Mingjing weighed all the crabs, and the owners couldn't believe their eyes.
They had never seen a crab bigger than a basin before.
Xia Chang'an felt that as long as Mingjing was there, his shop didn't need anyone else.
King crabs cost 31 each, with the large ones costing 300 yuan per catty and the small ones costing 100 yuan per catty. This is considered an extremely high price in the current coastal crab market.
Although there were few mud crabs, they were large. A dozen or so large mud crabs sold for over a thousand yuan, and with other miscellaneous items, I made a total of thirty-six thousand yuan.
Ever since they caught the king crab, the Ming family has become the talk of the village. Newspapers and television have been reporting on them repeatedly, and people ask for their autographs whenever they go out.
Even television programs wanted to interview Mingjing and make documentaries and movies based on his image. Mingjing never expected to become so famous.
After those words were published in the newspaper, a large number of anglers and individual tourists flocked to the island. Mingjing's house had just bought new furniture and hadn't even had time to finish the details before it started receiving guests.
In her spare time, Mingjing did the math: the guesthouse had a total of forty rooms, the furniture cost 300,000 yuan, and the various facilities in the courtyard cost more than 100,000 yuan.
The original staff was simply not enough, so she hired another twenty. In addition to the staff on the large ship, there were still several thousand yuan in expenses every month.
The income wasn't much; most people came just to take a photo with her, and she didn't spend any money at all. After thinking it over, she decided to buy two more boats to go out to sea.
The ship at the shipyard, Mingjing, has already been picked up. Today, it took some tourists out to sea, and each trip costs 100 yuan.
The entire village became wealthy because of Mingjing, and the authorities even promoted Mingjing as an entrepreneur.
The following year, the financial world was in turmoil. Mingjing sold all his stocks, realizing 500,000 yuan, and used the proceeds to buy several hundred kilograms of gold, which he then stored in a safe.
In recent years, her homestay business has been thriving. She has also collaborated with Bai Xiaoye to attract a large number of foreign-invested enterprises to develop the island, making a fortune.
He bought ten houses in Beijing and Shanghai, and also acquired several plots of land in Hong Kong.
Xie Junan became the owner of a hotel in Mingjing and learned business management. The two had a very good relationship.
As the sun rises above the horizon, a clear mirror stands gazing blankly at the sea.
In just three years, she went from a fish-woman to a rich woman, a transformation that sometimes surprised even herself.
She now has countless riches, and her brother and sister have both gone abroad for further studies. Now she's starting to worry about how she'll make a living in the future. What's the difference between a life without goals and a salted fish?
Suddenly, a melodious song rang out from the sea, and a golden-haired mermaid emerged from the water.
Mingjing plunged into the sea and swam toward the mermaid...
