268 Famous Oig
The Shi family had produced a very sensible pig!
Without any training, it could understand human speech and even perform. It was simply a pig spirit!
This news quickly spread in the village. Then, the development of communication technology was quickly spread to the various villages. Then, someone made a short video and posted it on the Internet platform. It quickly became popular!
In an instant, Pig Pig had become an internet celebrity pig!
This internet celebrity pig was jokingly called: Second Senior Brother who has descended to the mortal world!
Someone wrote on the Internet, “Is this the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature? A pig has actually become a spirit!”
Then, it was time for a piggy performance!
That frenzy did not only affect the villagers of the village, but also the netizens from all over the country who braved the north wind and arrived at the remote mountain village, Stoneback Village, just to see Second Senior Brother’s exciting performance!
Hence, Stoneback Village also became an internet celebrity village. There was an endless stream of netizens coming to the village.
Gu Qingming was speechless.
She had miscalculated!
She had neglected the advancement of online technology!
This pig had already become an internet celebrity pig. It was clearly impossible to get it into the space!
However, there might be a way to get rich in the entire Stoneback Village.
It seemed that she had to find another animal to bring in as a companion for Little Kong!
“Fortunately, I didn’t kill this pig!” Shi Hangyu looked at Second Senior Brother who was surrounded by people and felt lucky. He continued, “It’s such a spiritual and sensible pig. If it’s killed, it’s really no different from killing someone!”
Shi Yaoqing nodded and said, “Indeed. Who would have thought that our family would raise a pig spirit? Look at the Internet. This pig’s performance has been on the trending list for a few days. Its popularity is getting higher and higher! The weather is so cold, and so many people come here every day.”
Shi Hangyu nodded and said, “Now, many people in our village have gone to the village entrance to set up stalls. I heard that business is not bad!”
“Haha, Qingcheng’s family residence has been renovated into a farm restaurant,” Shi Yuxin said with a smile. “And Qingliang’s family residence has been renovated into a farm accommodation. I have to say, business is really good.”
“This Second Senior Brother Pig has helped our village become rich. It’s winter now, and everyone has nothing to do. It’s not bad to find something to do now.”
“No, brother, shouldn’t our family do something too? The navel oranges have been sold out, and the fertilizer has been planted. There doesn’t seem to be anything to do.” Shi Yaoqing thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t we start charging to watch Second Senior Brother Pig? Now, people from all over the country are rushing over without any measures. If something happens, we will definitely have to take the blame.”
In today’s society, it was not that people were too cold, but the reality made them helpless.
If one fell in front of the shop, the shop owner would have to compensate him.
Moreover, because of their pig, their family was definitely the first to be responsible for any accidents. This was despite the fact that those people did not pay the entrance fee for watching pigs.
Shi Hangyu thought for a moment and said, “That’s a problem. Let’s have a family meeting to discuss it.”
This was a serious problem. If there was a stampede or a fall in the crowd and someone came to find them or sue them, it would be too late for regrets.
That night, after dinner, everyone attended the Shi family meeting, including the two toddlers.
Shi Hangyu told everyone about the possible problems.
A moment later, Shi Hangyu said, “Visitors from all over the world are here to watch. It’s fine now, but it’s better to be safe than sorry! If something happens, we won’t be able to say anything!”
Grandpa nodded. “Hang’er is right. Our pig attracts too many people hear to watch. There are no safety measures. Even if they fall while walking, we might be blamed.”
“Dad, what should we do?” Shi Lichun frowned and asked, “These tourists are coming from all over the country. We can’t chase them away.”
“That’s right. Why don’t we offer Second Senior Brother Pig to the zoo?” Shi Lidong said, “If we offer him to the zoo, our family won’t have anything to do with it.”
However, his suggestion was not approved.
After all, this pig was their own, and it had developed spirituality. Even if the adults agreed, the children would definitely not agree.
“Why don’t we charge for the tickets? If they want to come and watch, they have to queue up and take turns?” Shi Yaoqing suggested. “Let’s try our best to take safety measures and not let any accidents happen?”
This proposal was rejected again.
“No, this is a private viewing. No matter how well it’s done, there’s no guarantee that there won’t be an accident. But as long as there’s an accident, it will be attributed to our family’s business?”
“This won’t do, that won’t do. Then what should I do?” Shi Yuxin said with some distress, “To be honest, with so many people coming to my house every day, I feel annoyed!”
They were warm and hospitable, but they were unwilling to entertain these unfamiliar guests who came to their door every day. This was compounded by the fact that cleaning would take more than half a day after the guests left.
The next day, they continued to receive guests from afar.
Shi Yuxin voiced everyone’s thoughts.
Grandpa looked at Gu Qingming and asked, “Mingming, do you have any thoughts?”
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “I’ll close the door!”
“Huh? Close door?” The Shi family did not understand what she meant.
Gu Qingming said, “We can just refuse to let anyone come.”
“But is this good?” Shi Lichun asked hesitantly, “Will everyone scold us? After all, many people came because they are interested in this pig.”
Gu Qingming said, “After all, this pig is our family’s private property and we have our own right to dispose of it. How about this? Let Third Cousin set up a TikTok account and send a short video of this pig every day to satisfy everyone’s curiosity. We can even start a live broadcast and let everyone watch it directly. However, on the live broadcast network, we can publicly say that for the sake of safety, we reject fan visitors!”
Hearing Gu Qingming’s words, everyone considered it and felt that it was appropriate to try it out.
This way, the number of tourists would be greatly reduced. Even if some tourists were curious, the hosts had already declined to meet them. Those who cared about their reputation would not come.
Of course, there were internet celebrities.
In the past two years, the appearance of short videos had rapidly developed and nurtured batches of internet celebrities.
Those internet celebrities were really using all sorts of methods to become famous, attract fans, and become popular!
Gu Qingming said, “Actually, we have to be wary of those pervasive internet celebrities. Ordinary tourists are curious, but internet celebrities might not be. In order to attract attention, they will definitely use some unpredictable methods. We do not want to be the scapegoat for these people!”
“Mingming, what you said makes sense. But how do we guard against these internet celebrities?” Shi Hangyu asked.
