The National Day holiday is indeed a national statutory holiday. The room rate on the second floor is 400 yuan a day (Qi He Xinran went to the hotel next door on the street to ask for the price as a customer). The prices of all hotels are similar, so you won’t be excluded.
But by the afternoon of October 1st, all 16 rooms were full.
There is a public kitchen on the second floor, which is 40 square meters in size. Yu Shengnan specially moved a bag of rice and a bag of noodles there so that guests can cook their own meals and the kitchen can be used for free.
In the past, this kitchen was used by guests, mainly because many guests at the seaside would go to catch seafood and bring it back to experience the fruits of their labor.
Considering that the room price was double the expected 200, Yu Shengnan and He Xinran provided very thoughtful service to these guests.
"Should we hire a part-time worker? How can you, the boss's wife, do the cleaning?" He Xinran wanted to say something, but Yu Shengnan didn't listen and went straight to the information board on the street to post an advertisement for recruiting part-time workers.
It was soon torn off by a fat lady in her 50s, who then came over with the advertisement.
"I used to work part-time in our hotel, but then it closed down and they said they were going to sell it, so I stopped coming. Boss, you think you'd better let me work? My kids are fishing here, and I don't have anything to do here..."
In this way, Yu Shengnan temporarily hired a woman named Ms. Guo who used to work here.
The beach in Wanghai Village is quite large. There are large stretches of sandy beaches on the seaside of the village. The deep water area and the dock are in the neighboring Jinjiang Fishing Village.
Yu Shengnan was free after arranging the guest rooms. He wanted to go fishing at the beach when he was free.
I didn't plan to walk far, so I didn't drive. I came out of the back yard and walked down, where I saw a large group of men and women in cool clothes playing on the beach.
These tourists who live inland all year round may not know the severity of ultraviolet rays. Some of them feel pain when they go back, and some even suffer from large areas of peeling when they go back at night.
Yu Shengnan wore a sun hat, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, trousers, and water shoes. She held a fishing box in one hand and a fishing rod in the other. Her outfit was out of place among the tourists on the beach.
Yu Shengnan didn't care what others thought. After all, she didn't know any of these tourists and they had nothing to do with her.
Look at the direction, walk to the left along the beach, and to the right is an endless beach. No wonder there are so many tourists in Wanghai Village.
The left side was not close either. After walking down, Yu Shengnan felt a little regretful because the sand was soft and it would be relatively difficult to walk, especially since his water shoes had holes and it was very uncomfortable when sand got into them. If he had known this, he would not have walked on the beach just to see a few more beauties.
It took him more than half an hour to walk here, and he was already sweating all over.
"I'm really sick. I'm asking for trouble. I'm jealous. Why should I bother to show you and cause you trouble?"
As we walked here, the beach became narrower and narrower, and then there was a breakwater in front. There was no one there, so Yu Shengnan walked up and returned to the coastal highway.
He had never been on this road and didn't know where it came from. At least there was no coastal road near Wanghai Village.
Not far along the road, he saw a fishing spot. He couldn't see how many fish there were, as he was five meters above the water surface and couldn't see any projections. He just saw two elderly men fishing.
"Uncle, how is it, is there a mouth?"
Yu Shengnan also started the fisherman's usual way of greeting.
"It's OK. There are plenty of fish down here, but it's always tangent line. I've already caught six."
"I don't know what kind of fish it is, but it's quite big. I've caught four or five of them," said the uncle next to him.
"I don't believe your grandma's diamond," Yu Shengnan cursed in her heart. These two fishermen never told the truth. They must be bad at fishing and they are the kind of people who can't brag more than others.
How could there be four or five escapes? Don’t you have any limit when you lie?
Seeing that the pier was just ahead, Yu Shengnan ignored them and ran straight ahead.
The terrain became lower and lower, and when it reached the pier, the road was only two meters above the water.
When Yu Shengnan walks over, you can see the projection of the fishing rod on the seafood in the water.
However, looking at the ships moored at the dock, he thought the water depth here was at least five or six meters deep, and maybe more than ten meters if it was a little further away from the shore. He even saw a very large ship at the dock, which was estimated to be fifty meters long.
Looking at the big boat, Yu Shengnan couldn't help but think of her elder brother Wang Fugui. They said that if you want to make money by fishing at sea, it would be great if you have a fishing boat.
Ever since she saw the big tuna from Wang Fugui last time, Yu Shengnan also did some research and found out that a boat that is more than ten meters long would cost several million dollars. Such a boat can only sail near the coast and may not come back if it goes far away.
The pier here is quite lively, with people coming and going, and there seem to be quite a lot of tourists. Come to think of it, during the National Day holiday, there is a large beach in the nearby Wanghai Village, so there is definitely no shortage of tourists here.
But what are those things surrounding it for?
Yu Shengnan walked over and saw that they were all fishmongers. There were quite a few of them.

"These are deep-sea nine-segment shrimp. Look, they were just landed at 10 o'clock this morning, less than four hours ago, and they've been frozen to keep them fresh. These big ones usually cost 70 or 80 yuan a pound in the market, but we only have them for 50 yuan a pound. Once they're sold, they'll be gone. That's all we have."
Yu Shengnan also took a look. The nine-segment shrimps in front of the stall were indeed not small. He couldn't tell whether they were fresh or not, but he knew that the prices in the market varied, ranging from a dozen yuan to two or two yuan depending on the size and freshness. A shrimp of this size at 50 yuan was indeed not expensive.
Abalone, oysters, blue crabs, knife fish... they really sell everything.
The fishermen here don't cheat people when selling fish, and there are no vendors who specifically try to cheat tourists.
"What kind of crab is this?" Yu Shengnan saw a kind of crab she had never seen before.
"Egg crab is delicious whether steamed or fried."

"How much is this pot?"
"sixty"
"Sixty? Will you sell it for twenty?"
"Sell it, take it away."
Yu Shengnan no longer thought that the vendors here were not cheating. The prices were so inflated.
Yu Shengnan was overthinking it. How high were the costs of doing business in the seafood market? Fishing boats docked here, and vendors took the goods directly. This was a first-hand source of goods. Those in the village might not even have to pay the stall fees.
Fishing? Never mind. I can't fish today. There are so many tourists here. If I really catch a fish, there will be a crowd of people watching. Especially if it's fresh seafood, many tourists will want to take it.
Yu Shengnan didn't want to attract other people's attention. He just wanted to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.
Seeing that there was a fisherman nearby, he directly sold the Antarctic shrimp to the other party at half price. Since he didn't plan to fish, then there would be no waste. The temperature was high, and if he wanted to preserve the Antarctic shrimp, he would have to buy ice. That was unnecessary. Next time, he didn't need to bring bait, he could just come here and buy it.
He had just heard someone say that there would be a boat coming back every morning or evening, where you could buy fresh and cheap seafood. He remembered the miscellaneous fish that cost ten yuan a basket last time.
