Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 203 Unruly

After asking Yanyan to look after the house and remember to cook dinner in the evening, the mother and son sailed directly over.

After getting ashore, I asked two random people and found the family that had the accident. They lived by the river.

Qin Dahe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It was good that he didn't have to move things back and forth.

It was a very dilapidated earthen house. A mother and daughter were waiting at the door, as if they were waiting for someone.

Qin Dahe stepped forward and explained his purpose, and the other party immediately felt a little relieved.

"Did something happen at home?"

"Qingqing's father works as a laborer in the county. A coworker just called and said that he fell off the scaffolding and asked us to bring money to pay the bill." As she said this, the aunt wiped away her tears.

Qin's mother felt sympathetic when she saw this. It was like the sky had fallen on a family when the pillar of the family was injured.

The construction site is full of subcontractors, and they are considered generous if they can compensate two or three thousand yuan. I can only find a solution myself.

"Go ask your relatives for some money to rescue people first. I'll send you to the county, and then you can collect the food when you come back from the county." Qin Dahe frowned.

I need the money urgently, so I don't have time to waste.

"Alas, her father lost a lot of money gambling in the past few years, and others are unwilling to help." The mother and son looked embarrassed.

"Okay, then let's weigh the grain quickly." Qin's mother said quickly.

It is not easy for people in rural areas to earn money nowadays. They can definitely borrow money by going to borrow money normally, but once their credit is ruined, they will not be able to borrow a penny.

Other things are fine. It is understandable that someone owes money to others due to a serious illness, but once gambling is opened, no one is willing to deal with it.

The mother and son lifted the scale and went directly into the warehouse to start moving the goods without the help of the host family.

Twenty bags of soybeans and thirty-seven bags of corn, estimated to be about three to four thousand kilograms, which is quite a lot.

This time, Qin's mother was responsible for weighing, and he was in charge of the accounting. When his mother could no longer do it, he would take over, and the two of them took turns.

"Mom, wait a minute." Qin Dahe saw that his mother was a little anxious and just took it and weighed it, so he hurriedly stopped her.

You must be on guard against others. How can you not be cautious?

He just handed the account book to my mother and started moving.

Shake it twice and feel the bottom. Only weigh it if there is nothing.

This time he was planning to buy it at the original price, but helping others was one thing, but he would feel bad if he was cheated after helping them.

Although this delayed some time.

Bag after bag was weighed. When Qin Dahe started throwing out stones, the little girl went into the room. It was so embarrassing.

He didn't say anything and continued weighing.

After going through all the steps, I got out twenty stones. There were only a dozen bags at the front and back without any stones. The twenty stones in the middle weighed more than a hundred pounds. If you couldn't tell them apart, you would have lost dozens of dollars.

"1553 kilograms of soybeans, 3070 cents a kilogram, kilograms of corn, collected at cents. Auntie, can I calculate the money for you?" Qin Dahe said expressionlessly.

Mother Qin's face had turned dark by now, and she felt more upset every time she threw a stone.

"Isn't it 91 cents and 47 cents?" The woman suddenly became anxious.

"Haha, we run back and forth from so far away, and we only make twenty or thirty yuan if we reduce one cent for these thousands of kilograms. It also costs diesel and half a day's work." He paused, thinking that he didn't mention the matter of putting stones.

Once you say it out loud, it will make you look bad.

If this hadn't happened, I would have just given up on the money.

"One cent more? It's life-saving money." The aunt opposite said with an apologetic smile.

Qin's mother was hesitant to speak, wanting to sympathize with her son, but she was really upset about being cheated. If it weren't for her son, all the money would have been wasted.

"Why don't you ask again? No one's money comes from the wind." This time the delivery is an expedited order, and we came here to save people. Who would be happy about this?

The things need to be stored after being brought back so they don’t take up space.

Qin Dahe kept bargaining for the price and refused to give in, so the other party had no choice but to agree.

She didn't dare to make a fuss. If the matter of burying the stones got out, the whole family would lose face. This time, the victim was the one Da Chen called Qin's father, so she saved face.

Although they couldn't stand the bad things Qin's father did when he was young, after receiving goods from him a few times, they knew that Qin's father was fair in business, so they called him.

Qin Dahe nodded and started pressing the calculator.

Soybeans are now 91 cents. Yanyan just called to ask. Corn is 48 cents.

He took one cent off each item, so the price was very fair.

"The total is 2840 yuan. Calculate it again yourself." He handed over the calculator.

The saleswoman called the girl out again, and the little girl started pressing the calculator with a shameful look on her face.

Finally the calculations were correct, the bill was settled, and then we started moving the goods.

After the goods were moved, the aunt over there was still worried. If the other party didn't deliver it so late at night, she would have to call a taxi to the county, which would cost another fifty or sixty yuan.

"Why are you waiting? Just follow us." Qin Dahe said unhappily.

It was wrong for the other party to accept the goods at a discount of one cent, but the person still had to be sent to the county.

The aunt nodded quickly, told the girl to stay at home, and came out with the money.

On the boat, Qin Dahe sat at the stern and drove the boat.

It was almost dark at this time, and a fiery red cloud was looming in the sky, leaving a red print on people's faces.

I stepped on the accelerator a little bit. I still have to go to the county in the evening. I don’t know how long it will take to come back.

The aunt in front kept talking about how difficult her life was, how her husband was a gambler, how she had a son in high school, and how difficult life was at home.

Mother Qin felt a little sympathetic after hearing this, but she didn't say much. There are too many families like this now. There are good ones and bad ones, of course. It's hard for two men in the family to earn money.

She understood the implicit meaning of the words, probably that he didn't want to pay the fare, but it depended on how her son would handle it.

As a woman, I was taught a good lesson today.

When they got home, the meal was already cooked. Seeing that someone had followed them, Qin's father asked him to deliver the meal to the county first, and he would move the goods on the boat himself.

"Yan'er, eat first. I'll bring you some food in the evening." Qin Dahe pulled the little girl and talked to her secretly.

"Yeah, thank you, brother." The little girl nodded happily. Brother is so nice.

"Hey, I'm leaving."

He let Auntie sit in the back car, and he was unwilling to let anyone else sit in the driver's seat.

It was already dark at this time, but the moon at night was particularly bright, as bright as daytime.

Looking at the road from the car, you can see even a small stone clearly.

He has never seen such a rare sight in later generations, but he can still see it occasionally now.

He started the car, opened the window, lit a cigarette and took a puff.

The spring breeze is so refreshing. Shouldn’t we add a built-in speaker to the tricycle?

How nice it is to listen to music while driving.

But this is just wishful thinking. The big three-wheeled vehicle is not a family car, and the noise of the diesel engine is too noisy.

It was almost eight o'clock when they arrived at the county hospital. He put the patient down and left without saying a word.

You should still help those who need help. It only costs some diesel to make the trip yourself.

I'm hungry now, so I'll eat something first.

I found a barbecue restaurant in the alley opposite People's Square. There were quite a lot of people there.

I looked at the price, and it was 1.5 yuan for a lamb skewer, and there was also lamb soup.

"Boss, give me a bowl of mutton soup, five mutton skewers, two skewers of leeks, and a handful of noodles in the mutton soup."

"Okay, take a seat first, I'll be right there."

I found an empty seat and sat down. There were still people coming and going on the street.

Someone was singing Huangmei Opera in the People's Square, the volume was turned up very high, and he listened with great interest.

After a while, the mutton soup came up.

He was not in a hurry to eat noodles. It would be boring to eat noodles without meat or vegetables.

Wait for the delicious barbecue to arrive and start eating immediately.

The lamb was covered with a layer of crust on the outside, which was very crispy, but still tender on the inside. It was roasted just right, and he didn't care that the chives had a little black edge.

I ate it with big mouthfuls. It would have been even more delicious if I had some beer, but I forgot about it because I had to drive soon.

"Grill me ten more lamb kebabs, two leeks, and one serving of flatbread. Please pack these up for me."

"Okay." The boss was very happy to hear that. It was a big customer.

Nowadays, the spending power of workers in the county is average. A mutton soup and two grilled skewers are enough for them. Few people order so many skewers.

Qin Dahe finished his noodles and skewers, and even drank the remaining mutton soup in one breath. He was so hot that he took off his coat.

The boss was still busy at this time. He took out a cigarette, threw one to the boss, and lit one for himself.

A cigarette after dinner makes you feel as happy as a god.

The charcoal fire in a row of ovens was smoky and the boss simply lit the incense burner and smoked while grilling.

The guests around saw it but didn't say anything. People nowadays aren't so particular. At most they just grumbled a few words in their hearts.

"Boss, did you prepare this barbecue ingredients yourself?" Qin Dahe pointed at the barbecue ingredients.

Put the raw lamb skewers into a bucket of yellow batter and coat them in the batter, then grill them on charcoal fire.

The grilled lamb skewers with dough shells are delicious.

"Yeah, I learned it from Lu'an. It even has eggs in it."

"Can I make it at home? I'm not trying to learn the recipe from you. If you have a finished product, just give it to me. I live in the countryside, so it's not easy for me to come up here often."

"My wife at home is very greedy now, can you think of a way?"

Not only his wife was greedy, he was greedy too. It would be so nice to go home and bake it himself and eat as much as he wanted in the evening.

The boss frowned and thought for a moment, could it be that a colleague came to crack the secret recipe?

"Where do you work?" He thought Qin Dahe worked in the county.

"I just trade goods." He pointed at the big tricycle outside and said, "I buy corn, soybeans and other things for the feed mill and duck farm."

Qin Dahe also guessed what his boss was thinking.

"I'm not a barbecue guy, I just crave the taste of yours. If you really don't like it, forget it." He said indifferently.

The boss said nothing and packed the baked goods into plastic bags.

He paused for a moment, thinking that the customer's craving for his barbecue was a sign of recognition, so he took out another lunch box and filled it with an invisible yellow powder.

"Just mix water, eggs, flour, and this stuff in a 1:1 ratio. Roasted lamb is best. For pork, choose tender pork."

"Just mix it well and coat the meat."
