Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 137 Thanks
According to total calculations, the amount of iron used is about 1100 kilograms, of which kilograms are steel plates, over kilograms are steel bars, and the rest are all iron sheets.

The working hours on the front of the car would be no more than ten hours. He planned to replace the front shell of the car, weld a new one out of thick iron sheets, and also add some weights.

The car body is a huge project. It takes at least 60 working hours for one person to prepare the entire vehicle.

But these jobs required no technical skills, and Erhu and Tiedan could both do them, and the three of them could do them very quickly.

"The labor cost is 1000, the material cost is 2700, and this is the material list." He handed it over.

The list includes iron sheets, steel sheets, angle steels, and glass, and the cost of welding rods is included in the labor cost.

"How long will it take?" The visitor frowned. It's so expensive.

But they even listed the materials, and he took a look and saw that it really did require that much iron.

No one is a fool. The tricycle is just a piece of iron. Qin Dahe will not charge random fees for it.

"There are three of us brothers and we will deliver the goods in two days." We just bought a new welding machine, so we worked overtime and made a thousand yuan.

"Okay." The man agreed with gritted teeth.

Time is money. There will be big markets in Liuzhou and Xiang'an soon. He can earn two to three hundred yuan a day by transporting goods, and the expenses will be paid out by the end of the year.

But after the car is modified, he will be able to make more money next year, so he will still do the math.

"I'll pay after the car is repaired. It must be repaired."

"Don't worry, come and pick up the car the day after tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow morning." He said firmly.

After the guests left, Erhu and the others gathered around excitedly.

"Haha, great job. It's the perfect time to buy this equipment today." Qin Dahe said happily.

After completing this job, he could earn at least 700 or 800 yuan, and the dismantled car head could be sold as scrap metal.

This was not taken into account when calculating the bill. More than a hundred pounds of scrap iron is worth more than a hundred yuan.

The price of scrap iron has increased significantly this year. It was only three or four cents last year, but it has tripled this year.

"Erhu, go buy the steel bars and materials. Just drive the tricycle to get them. I'll write you a list."

"it is good."

"Tiedan, come and help me cut the carport."

He excitedly took the acetylene and started cutting the carriage. Efficiency means money, so there is no time to waste.

Just cut off the carriage, and then get the bed and the front of the car. This way it will be much faster.

He simply cut the waterproof cloth on the carport with a knife. He would not throw it away and could still use it.

"Mom, do you have any big light bulbs at home? I need some 50-watt ones."

"Yes, it's in the cupboard. What do you want it for?"

"This is a big order. I'll drag some wires over later and work overtime tonight. This car should fetch at least a thousand bucks."

"Okay, I'll feed the fish for you." The mother was overjoyed when she heard that. She thought it was just sealing the front of the car, but she didn't expect it to be a big job.

"By the way, cook for Erhu and the others. We can continue working after dinner tonight. We can't waste time."

As for Wu Ye’s car, we can only wait. That car needs to be built slowly and beautifully.

The cover on the truck bed was made of a steel frame and waterproof cloth, and it was quite heavy. Qin's father had to come over to help them lift it, otherwise it would have been difficult for the two of them to handle it.

He also took off the entire front shell of the car, which was heavier than he expected. Even without the glass, it weighed about 170 to 180 kilograms.

He uses whatever he can and saves on new iron sheets.

"Dad, you and Mom go to the street together tomorrow and bring me a piece of glass." He wrote down the size of the glass.

"Okay, this car belongs to Ligezhuang. As long as you do a good job, those who transport goods will have to come to you." The old man said with a smile.

The city with the most freight tricycles nearby is Cangtou, followed by Ligezhuang and Sanchahe. None of these freight operators are short of money, and as long as they get an order, it will be a big one.

Qin Dahe nodded. His skills were there for everyone to see. Over time, the surrounding cars would naturally come to him.

Erhu and the others didn't go home for dinner tonight. They sent someone to tell them to eat at Qin's house and then continued to work.

Surrounded by three light bulbs, the sounds of welding machines and cutting machines rang out one after another, making it very lively.

It's just cold. The car is too big to work inside, and several people's hands are frozen.

Lighting a brazier only relieved the feeling a little, but it was still cold.

"Remember to drill holes in the truck bed and screw a few screws in. Don't make it like last time. Pure welding won't be able to withstand the vibration." Qin Dahe gave a worried reminder.

He had just drawn up the blueprints for the front of the car, and was now installing the base plate directly. He would wait for the other parts of the front of the car to be cut and formed at one time, and also do the sealing work by the way.

"Are we going to use pure steel plates for the truck bed?" The two looked at him. The cost of pure steel plates was a bit high, and it was difficult for them to weld them.

"The bottom plate needs to bear weight. Seeing that Mr. Li hauls goods frequently, we can use steel plates and angle irons, and the two sides can be made of iron sheets and wooden boards."

"Then draw me a picture."

It was already a struggle for the two of them to finish the bottom of the truck bed based on their imagination alone, and they had to wait for Qin Dahe's instructions to finish the two sides and the carport.

Helpless, he could only go back and continue drawing.

The two sides are made of iron sheets and wooden boards, and the extended truck bed is pulled to the bottom plate with thin steel bars, which makes it safer.

It is difficult for people without spatial imagination to get started with this job. They can only correct mistakes wherever they occur. Not only will the working hours be extended, but the welding rods and grinding discs will also be greatly worn out.

Ordinary people really can't do this job. Only those who have drawing skills in the factory can take on this job.

After the drawings were drawn, he went out and watched the two of them work.

"Try welding some iron models later. I saw someone doing this in the county today. You can't do it without drawing a diagram."

"We've just met each other, so take it slow." Tiedan said embarrassedly.

He had already ruined two boards, which was the result of acting without thinking. Now he dared not continue until he got the blueprint.

"Slow down, I'm going to raise my hourly rate next year. If your skills are so poor by then, I won't dare give you any work."

"Any price increase?"

"Yes, it should go up. My skills are amazing, so why shouldn't it go up? At least 20 yuan an hour."

"Awesome." The two of them gave a thumbs up at the same time. This guy is really confident.

Qin Dahe smiled faintly and went to work on the front of his car, which was also a big project.

On a cold and windy night, the three young men worked under the lights until ten o'clock.

After finishing today's work, everyone's hands were basically numb from the cold, even with gloves on. Money isn't that easy to make.

The next morning, the two of them rushed over after breakfast to continue working.

Qin Dahe has acetylene cutting equipment and had already cut all the parts needed for the front of the car yesterday, but it was too dark to assemble them, so he had to start work during the day today.

"Brother, are you busy?" Suddenly, a pretty figure walked in from the yard door. It was Yanyan.

It was already nine in the morning, but the sun was out, so Qin Dahe lit the brazier again. "Busy, rushing this job." He put down the welding machine and began to serve the little girl.

Take the bench and the stove, and put a few walnuts, round dates and chestnuts on the iron net above.

"sit down."

After Yanyan sat down, he picked up the fried noodles and put them in her arms, providing her with a one-stop service.

Yanyan smiled happily and enjoyed the prince's favor, feeling very happy.

"You guys are busy, I'll take a look and give you the finished manuscript."

Qin Dahe patted his head and forgot about it, but it didn't matter, as the manuscript might not be approved.

He nodded and went to assemble the front of the car. This time he assembled it directly on the car and welded it on.

Even though the imported double-protection welding machine is a bit outdated, with his skills, he can quickly weld the iron sheets and steel sheets together.

He also helped people weld an iron basket, which he directly welded to the left side of the front of the car, so that a small stove could be placed inside when driving in winter.

He also welded one for his own home. It was too uncomfortable to drive this big three-wheeled vehicle in winter. It would be much better to have a stove inside. All he had to do was open the window a little.

"Brother, have you fed the fish?"

"No, help me feed them after you finish eating. Feed the chickens while you're at it. My mom and the others haven't come back yet."

The couple went to the town to cut glass. It was impossible for one person to bring this stuff back, so someone had to hold it from the back of the truck.

Upon hearing this, the little girl quickly ate the round dates and other things, and then started to eat the fish food. She loved doing these things.

"Awesome! In other families, the son-in-law comes to work at home, but you do the opposite." Erhu and the other two really admire Qin Dahe.

They are amazing that they can do such a thing.

"Haha, you have to learn more than just technology." He said proudly and started to help Erhu and the others weld the truck bed.

With a double-weld welding machine and an acetylene cutting machine, his work efficiency is incomparable.

At this time, Qin's father and his wife came back. When the mother saw Yanyan rowing a boat to feed the fish, she immediately looked at her son with murderous eyes.

"You are so capable that you order your wife around before we even get married." She angrily hit Qin Dahe with a hammer.

"Mom, I can't move my hands." He said embarrassedly

I'm so strong that my arms hurt, but I just rub my arms and continue working. If I say anything more, I'll get beaten.

"Fuck you, I don't care if you're married, but if you let Yanyan do the work before we're married, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

If you don’t know, you might think that they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power. What a bad character they have.

"Oh."

When Yanyan saw the man being beaten, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly. It turned out that brothers could also be beaten by their mothers.

When she came down, Qin's mother quickly asked her to sit down and even put Sang Biao in her arms.

"Just sit still and don't do any work next time. That bastard only knows how to bully you." Mother Qin said hatefully.

"I know, Auntie." Yanyan muttered softly.

She actually likes helping her brother with work. It's so boring to stay at home every day during the holidays.

In her heart, being able to be with her brother is fine, even if she works while he rests, as long as he is by her side.

Then Qin's mother started to give the girl dates and chestnuts. The stove was ready and they smelled very good when roasted. The mother and daughter behaved in exactly the same way.

When she returned to the room, Yanyan made a face at Qin Dahe, then leisurely ate dried fruits and drank hot water.

At this time, another tricycle drove in. The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, thinking that they couldn't finish the work.

At this time, a driver got out of the car, and a couple in their fifties also got out of the back car.

"Young man, are you the ones who fished in Sancha River last time?"

"Aunt, we are here. One of us is not here. Is there anything wrong?" he said with a frown.

Is there a follow-up to that lousy first-prize winner? Why didn't the police show up?

"It's you. Thank you so much." The couple bowed immediately after hearing this.

Erhu, Qin Dahe and the other two hurried forward to help the man, but they did not dare to accept the gift.

"Aunt, please speak slowly if you have something to say. We are young and cannot accept such courtesy." He hurriedly brought a stool for someone to sit down, and Yanyan also came over with tea.

When Qin's father and the other man in the room heard that this was something unusual, they went to the back to see what was going on.

"I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never have known that the girl was at the bottom of the river and the bad guys were still at large." Aunt burst into tears.

They carefully recounted what had happened to their daughter, and everyone in the yard felt uncomfortable.

It turned out that the corpse was the daughter of the two old people. Ever since she got married, she had been beaten every few days.

Because his wife's family was relatively powerful, they came to his house several times to deal with his son-in-law. Last month, his son-in-law called and said that his daughter had gone out to work.

The whole family waited and waited, but the girl never called back, but there was nothing they could do.

The son-in-law is a jerk, completely different from the person he was before they got married, and they can't even find anyone to ask.

In this day and age, you don’t need an ID card to buy bus tickets. Once people go out, they can’t be found, and it’s useless for them to call the police.

It was not until Qin Dahe and his team fished the body out that they were able to identify their daughter through her clothes and body features, because her face had been soaked and rotten.

At this time, my aunt was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Mother Qin hurried forward, patted her back slowly, and held her in her arms.

She had a daughter at home who was away from home, and her heart tightened when she heard this, fearing that her daughter might disappear at any time.

"That bastard lied to us that he was going out to work, but actually he lost his life to gambling. My daughter refused and was beaten to death by him." The old man next to him closed his eyes after he finished speaking, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.

The north wind was howling, the leaves in the yard were rustling, and everyone's mood was filled with heaviness.

"I came here this time to thank you guys. Without you, that bastard would have been at large his entire life, and my daughter wouldn't have peace in her next life."

This is what they say here: if a person who dies suddenly is not buried properly, he will not be able to be reincarnated and will only become a wandering ghost.

The two men took down a lot of gifts from the tricycle, including cigarettes, alcohol, tea and other things, and also took away 500 yuan.

My aunt wiped away her tears and said tremblingly, "Our family's conditions are like this, please don't despise us, I came here just to give you some gifts.

A few people were about to say something, but they didn't have the nerve to accept the money. It was so pitiful.

"We must accept it, otherwise Aqi will blame us."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Dahe and his companions dared not refuse.

Qin's mother wanted to invite the guest to dinner, but the guest was unwilling.

"We still have to go to the Dragon King Temple to ask someone to perform a ritual later, so we won't delay you. You guys are all good kids, thank you."

Looking at the tricycle going away, everyone felt upset. Such a shitty thing could happen.
