Super Zoo

The fish riding project has been officially opened, and all parties have done enough publicity to attract countless eyeballs.

If it is just "fish riding", it is not a particularly rare thing.

Whether it is a zoo or a circus, there are special trainers, including dolphin masters. After special training, it is not impossible to ride a fish.

But it must be done by professionals and in a special venue.

And treating fish riding as an entertainment project, open to ordinary citizens, everyone can ride, young and old, this is the first time in the world!

The "hunger marketing" that Su Ming did before, under the overwhelming media publicity, also quickly began to ferment and show its effect. The photos and videos of Zhao Yun's family riding fish on that day, and Su Ming's earliest video of the Bi Bo Knight, the number of clicks and comments were extremely amazing. On the Yangchuan Forum, almost no other topics can be seen in recent days, and all are discussing this new project of Yangchuan Zoo.

Riding a fish is not only entertaining, but also a very auspicious idea in Chinese history, symbolizing enlightenment and becoming an immortal, and living a carefree life.

Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, there was a man named Qin Gao in Zhao State who was good at moving in the water and lived for more than 200 years. One day, Qin Gao summoned his disciples and asked them to bathe and burn incense, and set up a temple by the water to wait. After that, Qin Gao jumped into the river and disappeared.

A group of disciples followed Qin Gao's instructions and set up an altar by the water. After waiting for a few days, Qin Gao suddenly rode a big red carp and floated on the water. Then he rode the fish to ascend to become an immortal, attracting thousands of people to watch.

Wang Anshi has a poem: When I first learned to ride a red carp, I found a mountain ghost and a lizard. Narcissus and mountain ghost are both semi-immortal bodies. The red carp and the lizard are a water monster and a mountain spirit, symbolizing the immortals in the mountains and waters.

Riding fish in the zoo is definitely not a fairy, but those fish are dressed up as various legendary monsters, which feels like cosplay.

Now the zoo can almost be described as the focus of everyone's attention. Every day, tourists come to ask about riding fish. Sister Tong's office receives several calls from media every day, wanting to report and interview. The limelight of those "armed" big fish even overwhelmed the Yangtze River dolphin family that was very popular some time ago, making a perfect counterattack.

Seeing that the "momentum" has been built, the fish riding project was finally officially launched.

As soon as the zoo opened that morning, the queue waiting to buy tickets at the gate had already stretched to the road in the distance. Reporters from more than a dozen media outlets were waiting at the gate early, ready to charge into the zoo at any time to obtain first-hand information.

Five big fish were not enough. In the blink of an eye, they were booked by the tourists who rushed in front, and the least was booked for more than an hour. The big black fish was even booked by a local tyrant for a whole day.

The huge crowd of tourists was fed up. Hundreds of people lined up to ride the fish. If it was like this, one person would have to wait for more than an hour, and the person behind would not get a turn even if they waited for a whole day.

New tourists continued to join the queue, and the lakeside was noisy. Seeing that the crowd was about to get excited, Su Ming appeared in time and added a new rule: within the first month of opening, each person can only play for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time, ensuring that most tourists can play as long as they are willing to queue. This calmed the public anger.

Along with Su Ming came the alligator turtle.

The business of riding the fish has been more popular than expected. Su Ming, with the mentality that he was idle anyway and a noble alligator turtle should not eat free rice, also brought the alligator turtle over and let people ride it like the big fish.

This guy has a ferocious appearance, and there is no need to dress up deliberately. He looks like a big monster. In order to make it more entertaining, Su Ming made a "big python" with rubber plastic foam and wrapped it around the alligator turtle.

"Thank you for your enthusiastic support. In order to give back to you, we have launched an Easter egg today:"

He pointed at the alligator turtle as big as a hill and said loudly into the speaker: "That's Xuan! Wu! God! Beast! Ten minutes per session, one hundred yuan!"

The alligator turtle was in the shallow water, the size of a tabletop, with limbs like iron pillars supporting the sky. In line with Su Ming's words, it raised its head and rushed towards the crowd on the shore, opened its mouth and let out a low roar, and shook the rubber python tied to its body.

The tourists instinctively shrank back in fear, but fortunately everyone knew that this was an entertainment project launched by the zoo, just like the horror city. It looked scary, but in fact there was no danger at all.

So, the copycat 'Xuanwu' also joined the ranks of the big fish. The six big guys were almost non-stop. Every ten or twenty minutes, they would go back and forth between the diving area and the lake to pick up the next batch of tourists.

Although they worked hard enough, the queue waiting for the fish ride became longer and longer. The tourists who rode the fish before also became the tap water of the fish ride project. After getting off, they began to post photos on WeChat Moments and various social media to promote the zoo for free.

At noon, Su Ming looked at the long queue and had an idea. He called Sister Tong: "Sister Tong, ask the store to get some boxed lunches and sell them by the Shuijun Lake!"

"Okay!" Sister Tong hung up the phone happily. Not long after, Aunt Sun from the store appeared by the Shuijun Lake with a cart full of boxed lunches, shouting: "Selling boxed lunches, selling boxed lunches, ten yuan a box, one meat and three vegetables..."

Auntie Sun made a small profit. After cleaning up the garbage from the lunch boxes, she found Su Ming, mysteriously stuffed him a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and then left happily.

The first day of opening passed like this, and the six mounts were busy all day.

On the second day, there were more people queuing than on the first day, and there were even ticket scalpers!

A few ruffian boys came to line up early in the morning. After they came to the line, they bought tickets, but did not catch fish. Instead, they held the tickets and shouted, selling them to the people behind them at five or six times the price.

Liang Shi saw this and did not dare to make a decision on his own, and hurriedly reported to Su Ming.

"I hate ticket scalpers the most!" Su Ming frowned and said to Liang Shi: "Tell them not to resell fish tickets. Anyone who buys tickets from others without queuing will be invalidated. We do not recognize it!"

Liang Shi followed Su Ming's instructions and made it clear to those boys that ticket resale was not allowed.

But seeing Liang Shi's honest face, the other party ignored him and dragged Liang Shi to the grove. The leader, a little yellow-haired man, even took out a knife and threatened Liang Shi, saying that if he cut off the brothers' financial resources, he should not blame them for not giving him face...

"How can such a thing happen! China is a country ruled by law, and you dare to use knives on my land. There is no law!" Su Ming was furious when he heard about this.
