Because the guests to be received are distinguished guests from all over the place, in order to prevent any accidents, the receptionists sent are all ninjas.
There are many Chunin and Jonin among them.
Among them, the seaside and shopping streets are relatively more risky areas, so the largest number of middle and senior ninjas are assigned to be in charge.
However, Hoshigaki Kisame's face was not suitable for receiving customers in the front, so he was assigned to the pearl oysters to be responsible for logistics work.
However, no one expected such an exaggerated order to come in right away.
"Three, three hundred?"
The ninja who was in charge of reception was stunned on the spot.
"Yes, go ahead."
The nobleman tilted his head back and comfortably took a sip of the fresh coconut juice in his hand.
The servant beside him was also very tactful and stepped forward to pay.
Reception ninja: “…”
Hoshigaki Kisame: “…”
Both of them had a little stiff expression on their faces, but they were a little panicked in their hearts.
What should I do? There are less than 300 pearl oysters on the stall now!
After all, it's a trial operation and there are only so many customers. They think what they have now is enough for one or two days.
'what to do?'
'What to do?'
'There aren't enough pearl oysters!'
As they moved, they tried hard to communicate with each other through eye contact at angles that no one else could notice.
"...I'll go dig it right now!"
What if it’s not enough? Dig.
Hoshigaki Kisame made a decision.
What else can we do? Can we tell our guests, "We are not well prepared," and spoil their fun?
This is the key to whether the Hidden Mist Village can transform.
How is that possible?
It can’t be not enough, it can’t be nothing.
At worst, he could plow all the seas of the Water Kingdom and satisfy the wishes of his guests.
Hoshigaki Kisame thought so, but his hands did not stop moving.
Pearl oysters were carried in baskets.
Then a few more ninjas took over, and in front of the nobles and other tourists, they skillfully used the kunai in their hands to pry open the pearl oysters and dig out the pearls inside.
“This one is big!”
"Purple! There are purple pearls here!"
As people exclaimed one after another, pearls were taken out, rinsed and placed on a plate on the counter.
Pearls of different sizes and shapes shine brightly under the light, and when piled together, they truly show people what "jewelry" means.
Some pearls with special colors or huge sizes are also particularly eye-catching.
As native people of the Land of Water, the nobles certainly would not be short of pearls.
To him, the pearls before his eyes were definitely not top quality, but the feeling of seeing them opened with his own eyes was completely different from seeing others holding the finished product directly in front of them.
Especially after the receptionist Yu Yue kindly mentioned:
"Now that you are here, don't you want to experience the joy of harvest with your own hands?"
Although "opening clams with one's own hands" does not seem to be in line with the status of a great noble, but "since I'm here", it is indeed very convincing.
It's just for fun, what's wrong with that?
So he readily agreed, and enthusiastically picked up a large pearl oyster handed over by the ninja. After putting on protective gloves, he began to pry the pearl oyster with a kunai under the guidance of the ninja.
Although the pearl oyster had been processed to be easier to open before it was brought up, as a noble who had never touched water, he naturally would not say that he could just pry it open with a kunai.
In fact he wasn't even holding the kunai correctly.
But the people present would not be so tactless as to remind the nobles what is the 'correct way to hold a kunai'.
Everyone was just cheering for the noble lord.
"That's right! That's it!"
"Yes, yes, almost there! Almost there!"
In this unprecedented harmonious atmosphere of everyone working together, encouraging and expecting, the nobleman finally pried open the large pearl oyster that he had carefully selected.
"There are pearls! "
“It’s a big one!”
As luck would have it, this pearl oyster actually produced a pearl that was larger in size and rounder in shape than the other pearls.
This made the noble even happier.
He would not care about whether the price of the pearl was comparable to his travel expenses or not. He would just be pleasantly surprised by the unexpected gain.
Things that you have worked hard for have special meanings.
Not to mention the harvest is so huge.
"This is the biggest pearl oyster we have ever seen."
Even Yu Yue didn't know this development
I thought of it.
'Coincidence' is a truly amazing thing - but who doesn't know how to say something nice?
She quickly changed her tone and started praising him.
——In fact, they didn’t open two in total.
But it's still opening one, and the previous ones were indeed not as big as this one, so what they said is not a lie.
"Shall I put it away for you?"
"No, find a box and I'll carry it myself."
The nobleman looked at the pearl he had opened and liked it so much that he even rejected the servant's suggestion to help him put it away and chose to carry it with him.
He decided that this pearl would be his lucky pearl from now on.
Let him think about what to make of this pearl.
It's a bit tacky with the combination of gold and silver.
A circle of gemstones around it would be a good idea.
When we get back we'll have to ask the best craftsmen in the world to do this job.
The nobleman thought about this as he happily watched the ninjas open the other pearl oysters he had bought.
With this 'big catch', everything else is just trifles.
It doesn’t matter whether the goods are shipped or not, or how much is shipped.
He is happy!
Seeing the great nobles having so much fun, other curious onlookers also became eager to try their luck.
"I'll have ten too."
"Give me fifty!"
"Who are you looking down on? Come on, one hundred of them!"
Although the customers were more enthusiastic than each other in supporting the business, the expressions of the ninjas in charge of the pearl oyster stalls became increasingly ugly.
Nothing else.
They really don’t have that much stock!
How could anyone think of this!
Although pearls are also jewels, the people who came to participate in the event, if not 100%, at least more than 90% were from wealthy nobles or wealthy families. How could pearls be missing?
So when Yu Yue said he was going to prepare this stall, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village didn't actually have high expectations.
But they forgot.
When it comes to 'opening pearl oysters', 'pearls' are just one of the things.
'Opening' is where the real fun lies.
To put it bluntly, this thing is a natural blind box from nature.
The nobles certainly had no shortage of pearls—in fact, they had no shortage of anything that most people in the world needed or would use.
So they also
It is difficult to get pleasure from "getting these things". However, in the activity of "opening pearl oysters", people enjoy the process from "unknown" to "knowing".
"Quick! Go get the pearl oysters!"
The ninja in charge here stamped his feet anxiously.
"Pearl oysters! We need more pearl oysters! As many as you can get!"
Just as the tourists never thought that they could enjoy opening pearl oysters by themselves, the ninjas never thought that one day they would be worried about not having enough goods.
This is all money!
If he really missed this business deal and offended his big customers because of insufficient pearl oysters, he would never forgive himself even if he became a ghost.
Led by the great nobles of the Water Kingdom.
The guests who came here were attracted by all kinds of new things and started their own travel journey.
Those who are interested in various seaside specialty gadgets.
For example, opening pearl oysters, or using pearls to make various small jewelry or decorations - because the small silver plates used to make jewelry can be engraved with words or favorite patterns, it has also attracted the attention of many people who have never seen this kind of thing.
People have certainly seen many things with family crests and family emblems, but this is the first time that a design like this one represents an individual instead of a group.
Isn't this equivalent to each one being a unique custom-made model?
Of course it is perfect to give it to relatives and friends.
So someone waved his hand on the spot and made dozens of them.
There is no way, the seniority is high, and there are many younger generations in the family. One for each person, fair and just.
Each one has its own name, so there is no need to worry about making a mistake or getting confused.
Because you can choose the size and color of the pearls (of course they are not valuable, but you can upgrade them for extra money) and the shape of the decorative accessories yourself, you have more freedom, so there is no need to have a large number of the same things when the younger generations get together.
Just a few words from the distinguished guest, and the people of the Hidden Mist Village were so busy that their hands broke.
They need someone to record the guests' requirements (such as what to match), and someone to make the various accessories and engravings that will be used.
Finally, someone else has to be responsible for assembly.
Even though the ninjas are very skillful, it is not possible to complete the task in just three to five minutes.
As a result, they had no choice but to apply for more staff.
In addition to these people who wander around the streets looking for fun, there are also
There are people who go sea fishing and say they want to eat the fish they caught themselves.
——Although all kinds of fishing gear are not cheap whether renting or buying, no one cares when it comes to payment.
They are just looking forward to what they will gain.
Although it is not obvious in this world.
But fishing has always been on the list of must-do entertainment activities for "successful middle-aged and elderly people".
No matter whether people really like it or not.
Getting a set of fishing gear and going fishing with a few friends is a common leisure activity.
Before Yu Yue, one of the company's shareholders loved fishing.
Although he often comes up empty-handed, he never gets tired of it - according to him, when it comes to fishing, whether you catch fish or not is just a small matter.
The key is to cultivate your character through fishing.
Yu Yue didn't really understand what this "self-cultivation" meant, but since it worked in another world, she could naturally give it a try in this world.
So some guests who like fishing were even happier.
But sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone, so they called their friends and went fishing together.
Some people gladly accepted the invitation, while others declined.
"No, I'm seasick."
Although the boats on the way to the Sea Park were very stable.
But forget about fishing, an activity that requires you to stay on a boat the whole time.
He came here to play and enjoy himself, not to seek hardship.
"No! Even those from the Wind Country didn't get dizzy. What are you afraid of?"
"From the Kingdom of Wind?"
The man who was afraid of seasickness was frightened.
The Kingdom of Wind is really full of landlubbers.
Many of them have only been on a boat a few times in their lives - if people like this won't have any difficulty adapting, then isn't it really stable?
"Yes, come with us!"
The man greeted more enthusiastically.
"I tell you, we caught a ton of fish—I've never caught so many before."
After much difficulty, he found someone who would listen to him brag, and that person immediately began to talk about his glorious achievements.
At the same time, I also started to think whether the sea park has good feng shui and is suitable for entertainment.
Otherwise, why hadn’t he caught so many fish in the past?
This reason is not unexplainable.
--complete
After all, when he went fishing in the past, there weren't so many ninjas moving around underwater.
That's right, the reason why these people had such a good harvest was not only because the fishing industry in this world was not that developed and the fish were relatively simple, but also because this world also had a convenient "cheating group" called ninjas.
They drive the fish wherever the boss goes fishing.
But is the chance of not taking the bait higher?
Besides.
Even if the bosses really have bad luck or are just fish-averse, it doesn’t matter.
They can even have ninjas dive underwater to hook fish for the bosses.
——In a word, if you have enough money, you can get whatever you want.
Although now travel expenses and accommodation expenses are all free.
But fishing gear and other 'commodities' also cost money.
And what they mean by 'no seasickness' is because the boats used for fishing by the sponsors are not ordinary boats.
Those are "small cruise ships" that have been specially reinforced by ninjas and equipped with sufficient entertainment facilities.
After all, the boss came here happily, you can't let him feel dizzy and vomit on the boat, right?
After you throw the bait, you can't just let the financiers sit there and do nothing, right?
It’s hard to deal with loud noises, but there must be delicious food and cold drinks, right?
Plus parasols and adjustable seats, and maps and brochures placed around for easy access.
In short, we must never let the sponsors get bored.
If you don't want to go shopping or get on the boat, that's fine too.
The sea view hotel and the beautiful and exquisite seaside holiday cottages are enough for people to rest and pass the time comfortably.
In addition, there are food areas, massage areas... and all kinds of new things there.
The Sand Village has a "sand bath" to drive away the cold, and the Sea Paradise also has a unique "pearl skin care".
Pearl powder and coconut oil are both good things.
Although other products in Yuyue Store also include whitening and anti-wrinkle products.
But here you can take care of your whole body skin.
Pearl powder can be used all over the body.
'Pearl powder' + 'Ugetsu store special', how many people can resist this powerful combination?
Although the latter can only be supplied in small quantities due to manufacturing process and other reasons, it is still sufficient as a limited product for care projects.
In addition, Tsunade has
After developing more uses for coconut oil and improving the production process, I believe it will become a flagship product here in the future.
There was actually no plan for this thing at the beginning.
It was only when they started talking about coconuts that Yu Yue remembered it.
But it’s not a big problem because we have the almighty ninja here.
As long as you make a request, they will definitely be able to find a solution.
The result was just as Yu Yue expected, they really made this thing.
Delicious.
While Ugetsu was mentally calculating the gains from this time, he was also thinking about the next step, which was the promotion of the Chunin Exams.
The existing activities can bring certain appeal to the aristocratic tycoons.
But after all, it's only an experience I've had once, so its appeal is definitely discounted.
"As expected, we should focus on Ocean Star + Chunin Exam as the core of the promotion."
She touched her chin.
Due to production capacity and product upgrades, Ocean Star was unable to catch up with this "trial operation".
However, Yu Yue had no intention of launching this "trump card" at the beginning - the reason why it is called a "trump card" is that it should be hidden and used at the critical moment.
Moreover, the sales focus of Ocean Star is different from that of Sea Park.
Just as Ugetsu began to unconsciously drum his fingers on the table, Uchiha Shisui came over with coconut juice and fruit snacks.
"Miss Yu Yue, would you like to take a break?"
"Okay... ah, by the way, has the pearl oyster issue been resolved?"
When she was interrupted by Uchiha Shisui, she also remembered the little accident in the morning.
"Well, the Hidden Mist Village sent several teams to fish for them, and they barely caught up with the supply. However, the person in charge also said that they will be on duty 24 hours a day to search for and fish for pearl oysters to ensure the supply for the next two days."
Uchiha Shisui answered the current situation without any hesitation.
"That's good."
Yu Yue finished speaking and paused again.
"But it's not a good idea to do this all the time."
Although there are a lot of pearl oysters now, with the enthusiasm of people in this world, they will be completely cleared out in three to five years.
Yu Yue doesn't want this business to end.
"We still have to do artificial breeding. I have to tell the Mizukage about this at the meeting tomorrow."
Yu Yue is not clear about the situation of artificially cultured pearls in this world.
But no matter the past
Whether you have it or not, you must have it now.
"OK."
Uchiha Shisui immediately updated the items for tomorrow's meeting in his mind, and then urged with a smile:
"Then Miss Yu Yue can take a rest now. It would be a waste of time if you are so busy all the time and exhausted."
"Um."
Yu Yue leaned back and stretched lazily.
"The next operation will be handed over to the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village."
She won't be able to stay in Sea Paradise forever.
Sooner or later, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village will have to learn to operate independently like the Hidden Sand Village.
On the other side, Hoshigaki Kisame and his partner finally had time to take a break after changing shifts.
The two men sat on the rocks at the back, looking up at the sky with lifeless eyes.
I'm really tired.
Especially my partner, his hands were shaking because he had been opening pearl oysters for a whole day.
"In fact, there is no need for us to spend so much time on training."
What is smiling service and what is expression management.
It's of no use at all.
The guests who flocked over didn't care at all what they looked like or what expressions they had.
No one listened to the various introductions and lines I had memorized for a long time.
Don't even think about promotional plans like 'buy five, get one free, buy ten, get two free' - there are not enough pearl oysters to sell, where will the free gifts come from?
Everyone came up and reported the number directly. Then they kept taking turns like machines.
Collecting fees, counting quantities, opening pearl oysters... Oh, and also having to keep reporting the number of missing oysters so that the person in charge can quickly send people to catch more pearl oysters.
When I think back to the beginning until now, the thing that appears most frequently in my memory is 'pearl oyster'.
Whether it's a name or an entity.
But even so, pearl oysters can only barely keep up with the supply.
And this kind of day is only the first day...
My companions felt terrible when they thought about having to repeat today's experience in the next two days.
Hoshigaki Kisame's expression was much calmer.
In fact, he is tired too.
But when he thought that this series of work would bring huge profits and benefits to the Hidden Mist Village, he calmed down again.
So what if I’m tired?
As long as the village is well.
He would even be willing to do twice or three times the work.
hair
Finding that his companion did not respond to him, the man looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.
"Don't you feel tired?"
"tired."
Hoshigaki Kisame responded calmly.
“But I think this is good.”
To be fair, the job that Hoshigaki Kisame is more accustomed to and better at is of course fighting.
But he also sincerely feels that being busy like this is good.
After hearing his words, his companion, who was originally tired and had lifeless eyes, also recovered.
That's true.
A life without risking death is definitely better than a life with a high risk of death.
No matter how hard life is, no one really wants themselves or their important ones to never see the sun tomorrow.
not to mention……
"With such a shortage of manpower, I'm sure there won't be any more cases of graduates killing each other. "
He murmured softly.
What the man said was exactly the origin of the name of the Hidden Mist Village, 'Blood Mist'.
Different from other ninja villages.
The graduation exam for the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village is to have the students kill each other.
It is said that this can ensure the strength of the graduates, but... who would like such a cruel elimination of their own people?
Obviously, people from the same village should protect each other.
But now…
There are the Chunin Exams and the Sea Paradise, and they are already short on manpower, so they should probably look forward to it.
The Hidden Mist Village, like the Hidden Sand Village, is a ninja village that is not known for its large population. Now that it is fighting on multiple fronts (the ninja's main job cannot be neglected), it is naturally facing the same problems as the Hidden Sand Village.
That's because of lack of staff.
Even though other ninja villages are now contributing manpower and resources, the Hidden Mist Village will definitely not allow other ninja villages to interfere in the operation of the 'Sea Paradise'.
Just focus on the packaging and construction of specialty products.
But operations are their lifeblood.
As a result, many ninja school students who had not yet graduated were drafted.
In a situation where every passing fish wants to borrow a fin, the model of "killing each other to graduate" should...no one will mention it anymore.
Although they are all people who survived such cruel elimination.
But that doesn’t mean they really agree with this approach.
But there was no other way in the past.
Able to follow orders and watch the same tragedy happen again and again.
But now, with the 'Sea Paradise'...it should be different.
"Yes."
Hoshigaki Kisame suddenly answered affirmatively.
After hearing his words, his companion smiled slightly:
"Let's hope so."
He just regarded this as a good wish.
But he didn't know that Hoshigaki Kisame had already made up his mind.
If the current road can make the village better and lead it in a better direction.
He will definitely protect this road at all costs.
——Even if necessary, we will even become the enemy of the village.
The Sea Paradise was a huge success.
The Hidden Mist Village is both in pain and happy.
Yuyue Store once again made a fortune.
And the information about the Sea Paradise began to leak out under Yu Yue's instructions.
Yu Yue even arranged for people to use mirage techniques to project scenes of people having fun in the 'Sea Paradise' in several major areas.
The sea, the beach, the sun, and all kinds of new things and delicacies that I have never seen before.
All of them have a fatal attraction to people who lack entertainment.
What is that?
Never seen it!
It looks like it’s delicious and fun!
For the nobles and wealthy people who have already been to the Sea Park, they only felt that they experienced new enjoyment that they had never had before, and they had a lot of fun and were very satisfied.
As for the people who can only imagine how happy the society is from other people's descriptions and the brief images in the mirage, they can only scratch their heads.
They are curious.
They want to go too.
Such a great place, so much fun, who wouldn’t look forward to it?
However, because the restaurant had not yet officially opened, they could not go.
Can only complain painfully:
“When will it officially open for business?”
"What's going on with the Ugetsu Store and the Hidden Mist Village?"
"Don't they want to make money?"
Some fishing enthusiasts even cried out:
"It's fake! It's all fake! How could anyone catch such big fish one after another!"
"I have money, take my money away! Let me go fishing! I also want to catch eighteen big fish a day!"!
