My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 180 The New Project is a Great Success

Zhou Miao noticed that one of the customers was unusual; he was a man in his twenties.

As soon as he arrived at the fish raft, he took out his phone and started taking pictures as he walked, talking to the screen.

This kind of person is definitely a minor internet celebrity, and might bring some traffic and customers to the fish farm.

Zhou Miao stood by the fishing boat, waiting for customers to come and inquire.

As a result, the customers wandered around in twos and threes, while the two fishermen were even more direct, grabbing fishing rods and starting to fish.

Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the internet celebrity who recorded the video finally came to Zhou Miao's side, curiously looking at the fish traps on the fishing boat and asking him questions.

"Boss, are you going out to sea to set up cages?"

Finally, someone came to ask. Seeing that many customers had gathered here again, Zhou Miao immediately answered loudly, "Yes, I'm going to the mangrove forest to set traps and catch blue crabs."

"Furthermore, our fish rafts have now launched new recreational activities, which include personally experiencing the fun of setting and retrieving fish traps."

"One hundred yuan per cage, and whatever you catch inside is yours to keep."

The young internet celebrity's eyes lit up: "Boss, are you sure you can get blue crabs?"

Zhou Miao patted his chest and assured him, "It's not just certain, it's absolute! The place I'm looking for definitely has blue crabs, and you have a very high chance of breaking even, or even making a small profit."

Although the mangrove crab population has dropped to below 50%, the weather is still warm, and the crabs are searching for food and storing energy to prepare for winter.

The number of mud crabs caught now may not be as large, but they are definitely big and fat.

Upon hearing Zhou Miao's words, a customer immediately asked with a smile, "What if we don't have anything?"

"If the cage yields nothing, we won't charge you. But if there's anything, no matter how much, you'll have to pay as agreed. Is that acceptable?" After a morning, there should be at least one or two stone crabs. Zhou Miao really didn't believe he'd come away empty-handed.

"Okay, boss, since you've said so, then I'll take five cages." The young internet celebrity who came to check out the store immediately asked for the right to use five cages for the morning after seeing that he had made such a promise.

That's right, there's only one morning.

Zhou Miao couldn't let the trap sit for a whole day; if it went on for too long, the anticipation would die out, and secondly, it was also to increase his income.

After all, not all customers like to come to the fish raft in the morning. Nowadays, many people like to sleep in and come over after lunch, and then return to shore around eight o'clock in the evening.

If it weren't for the fact that they don't keep people here, many customers would choose to stay overnight.

However, Zhou Miao is still observing and calculating the daily willingness of customers to stay overnight regarding the homestay business.

On average, he gets about twenty customers a day. If just a third of them want to stay, he can open a small guesthouse, increase the area of ​​the fish raft, and build about ten wooden houses.

Others don't do this because, besides the cost, they're also afraid that a typhoon will destroy everything, but Zhou Miao's fish rafts aren't afraid of typhoons.

With the influencer taking the lead, three more customers joined in, purchasing the right to use nine fish traps in total.

That's 1,400 yuan in revenue, which is almost equal to yesterday's ticket revenue.

Although the income from going out to sea is higher, running a fish raft business sounds more respectable.

When people ask him what he does for a living, he can't very well say that he's a fisherman or a fisherman, because it sounds unreliable.

After letting the customers board the boat, Zhou Miao called Lu Xingyu over and asked him to set sail for the mangrove forest.

It was close by, and we arrived at our destination in no time.

Zhou Miao didn't activate his stealth skill even in broad daylight, since there wouldn't be many items anyway, and it wouldn't matter if others saw them.

"Boss, where would be the best place to put this fish trap?"

"The locations here are all about the same, so you can just put it anywhere."

When fishing, Zhou Miao could at least assess the terrain and tides. But when it came to catching blue crabs, he only knew that you could catch more at night; he knew nothing else.

Therefore, it makes little difference to him where the trap is placed.

The young internet celebrity didn't expect this answer. Looking at the mangroves, she felt there should be more blue crabs there, so she asked Lu Xingyu to steer the boat closer.

When the fishing boat arrived at his desired spot, the young internet celebrity began asking Zhou Miao how to set up the fish traps, and then put all five of his own fish traps down.

The other three customers followed behind, placing the traps from north to south in order.

Four customers placed fourteen cages, leaving eleven. Zhou Miao instructed Lu Xingyu to drive to an open area and casually place the cages down.

The online celebrities didn't ask any questions when they saw this. They assumed that Zhou Miao was also going to catch some blue crabs, so they were even more excited about the midday harvest.

Little did he know that he thought that once these people had made a profit, other customers would be unable to resist and would definitely spend money to experience collecting cages.

After setting down all the traps, Zhou Miao and the others headed back home.

During the day, no one needs to watch the cage, and no one will steal it. But at night, you do need to worry about it.

Back at the fishing raft, the young internet celebrity continued fishing with great enthusiasm.

No problem if you don't know how to fish, there are two pretty young ladies who will teach you.

Zhou Miao casually found a deck chair, lay down, and enjoyed the sea breeze.

Occasionally, when customers come, they will go out by boat to pick them up.

Noon arrived quickly, and the kitchen of the fish farm became lively, with the barbecue grills set up as before.

Lu Xiaoxiao and her friends suddenly lost their morning leisure and became busy.

Zhou Miao got up, called the internet celebrity and three other customers, and went over to collect the cage.

The moment had finally arrived, and the customers were very excited.

In the morning, the traps are placed from north to south, and they are collected in the same order at noon.

"Boss, how do I retrieve this cage? Do I need to use a net machine?" The young internet celebrity was indeed a novice, unfamiliar not only with fishing but with everything at sea.

Zhou Miao moored the fishing boat next to the first fish trap and shook his head, saying, "No need, just pull it up by hand. If you can't pull it up, ask the older brother next to you for help."

"Okay!" the internet celebrity agreed, asked a man next to her to help her take pictures with his phone, rolled up her sleeves and started working, very enthusiastically.

"Let's see how much this cage can catch and whether we can break even."

After saying a dry sentence to the camera, the internet celebrity took out the float, pulled the rope, and slowly pulled the fish trap up, making exaggerated noises.

"Wow, it's so heavy, it feels like there's so much stuff in it."

These words almost made Zhou Miao burst out laughing. In just one morning, even the best resource spot couldn't possibly yield much. Getting two blue crabs would be considered a good harvest.

Once the entire trap was pulled out of the water, several crabs were seen at the tail. The online celebrity was overjoyed: "Crabs! Lots of crabs! I've hit the jackpot! I feel like this one trap will pay for everything!"

The customers next to him saw that he had several crabs in his first basket, which boosted their confidence.

Zhou Miao was puzzled. Could it be that this little internet celebrity was also particularly lucky?

He rushed forward, but when he saw what was inside the cage, he couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out there were several crabs inside, all of them stone crabs, also known as red-shelled crabs.

This thing isn't as expensive as a blue crab, but it's a pretty good size. No wonder the internet celebrity was so excited when she saw it.

Zhou Miao took the opportunity to help pour his catch into a plastic box, and unexpectedly there was a six or seven-ounce blue crab at the bottom, which was a safety net.

Five stone crabs and one blue crab, all quite plump, the little internet celebrity's first net didn't actually lose money, but it can't be said that it made a profit either.
