Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 38: Manned to Make Money
In the morning, Qin Dahe ate some porridge cooked by his mother, then started driving his tricycle and came to the top of Limin Supermarket.

At this time, even the sun could not be seen, the sky was still slightly bright, but several large tricycles were already here.

Nowadays, people go out very early to go out. After buying what they want before 7 o'clock, they have to rush home immediately.

The tricycle drivers also have to get up early, go through two waves of morning rush hour, and then make a trip back, which is basically enough for a day.

You don't need to find your way here, there is only one road from the village entrance to the town, and people going up and down are at various intersections, so it is very convenient.

"Sixth Uncle, let's go out for a walk." Qin Dahe sat in the driving seat of the tricycle in a proud manner and reached out to take the one dollar and fifty cents handed over by his sixth uncle.

"Well, let's go to the street to do some things." Uncle Liu nodded and chatted beside the car. There were only two people in the car, and it was obvious that they had to wait for a while, so he was not in a hurry to get in.

"Dahe, I heard that you caught more than a dozen big black fish. Can you tell me the secret? They all said you caught them with toys." Uncle Liu took the initiative to hand over a pack of Shengtang liquor.

Qin Dahe didn't take it, but gestured at the cigarette in his hand.

"Yes, you're welcome." He chuckled.

Then he said: "Let's go to a big city to buy a lure fishing rod, which costs several thousand yuan, and a fake frog, which costs about ten to twenty yuan each, and just cast along the water surface." He spoke in very general terms, and the key point was money.

"Cena, so much money?" Uncle Six widened his eyes.

"Yeah, these are second-hand and cost me a thousand or two." He curled his lips and continued, "It's almost the end of the season now, and it's a bit cold in the morning."

Uncle Liu nodded and said that it was indeed true. When the weather gets cold, the black carp will go to the bottom of the water and eat less.

They have all been fishing since they were hungry, so they naturally know this common sense.

He wanted to ask something else, but another customer arrived soon. Qin Dahe went to greet them and was about to leave.

We have gathered six people, so twenty is enough for one car. Now that we have the first wave of cars, we will definitely be full on the road.

When he arrived in the town, twenty-four people got off the bus. They were all from various intersections. Two of them even stood all the way, but no one cared. As long as they could get out early, it was good enough.

He dropped the person off without going to his sister's store to say hello, and then rushed back, hoping to attract another wave of people.

There was no one on the way back, everyone was going to town.

He was driving back with a cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes lit up when he saw two "open-top" tricycles.

I can get one myself in the future. I definitely can't drive a big tricycle to fish and catch shrimp every day, so a motorized tricycle would be nice.

I'll ask my brother-in-law to help me get a second-hand motorcycle, and he can modify it and add a cargo bed.

As for battery-powered tricycles, he didn't consider them.

The battery life is poor, the price is high, and there are power outages every now and then. It’s better to use a gas-fired one.

Diesel now costs only a few yuan per liter, and his big tricycle consumes only 20 cents per kilometer. If he changes to a small tricycle, the fuel consumption will be even lower.

In terms of prices, the prices in 00 and 24 are almost the same, and some electrical appliances are even more expensive, but the price of oil is much cheaper.

Because the current road maintenance fees have not been added to the oil price, whether it is diesel or gasoline, it is very cheap to buy them separately.

We made our way to Limin Supermarket, and we had to wait for quite a while for this wave of customers.

After a long struggle, they finally managed to attract six or seven people, as this was a gathering place for several surrounding villages. Some of the large tricycles were heading towards Fenghuang Bridge, so as not to affect their business in the town.

Under the urging of the crowd, he had to set off early.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm leaving now." He stomped out his cigarette and was about to leave when he saw the owner of Limin Supermarket coming over.

"Boss, are you going to town too?" "Yes, to pick up some goods." The other party handed over a cigarette and took out one dollar and fifty cents.

"Hey, we're all right next door, forget it, forget it." He waved his hand and was about to start the diesel engine.

Limin Supermarket has a good relationship with his family, so they should be polite to each other.

Including some relatives in the village, you have to be polite to them regardless of whether you accept money or not.

However, those who have good relationships with you will not take advantage of this. If you don’t give a small amount of money as a favor, others will say that your family is shameless after a long time.

Look, the supermarket owner forced me to pay the money before I got on the bus.

Qin Dahe greeted him, got in the car, and rushed to the town.

There were fewer people on the road. Two people got on at the Cangtou intersection, three at the gate ahead, and plus the seven people in the car, there were twelve in total.

The trip cost only a dozen dollars. When he arrived at the destination, he parked the car in front of his sister's house and started waiting for customers.

There is a bus station across the street. Normally, parking is not allowed here, but my brother-in-law and his family are very arrogant and will not let drivers pick up passengers at the door.

It was okay for Qin Dahe to stop here temporarily, and he even went in to chat.

"Brother-in-law, do you have any paper shells?"

"Yes, what do you want this for?"

"I'll write a sign and put it on the front of the car."

After his brother-in-law gave him the paper shell, he picked up a thick pen and wrote "Village entrance←→Town", and then put it on the windshield of the car, so that others could tell at a glance that he was a person bringing guests.

"That's great. No need to ask. When they come, they just get in the car."

"Isn't that what all those buses do?" He smiled and then spoke again: "Brother-in-law, are there any used motorcycles for sale in town? They have to be cheap, and the front and engine should be good, nothing else matters."

"What do you need this for?" My brother-in-law was a little confused. "It's going to take a lot of work to fix this half-broken car. Let's just go to the city and buy a new one."

"I want to modify the tricycle." He expressed his idea.

My brother-in-law touched his chin and said that it was just right to convert a broken motorcycle into a three-wheeled vehicle, but he could also make one himself, one that runs on gasoline and is convenient for going to the city.

"Okay, I'll think about it and make one for me later."

"Haha, it's going to be hard to drive when it gets cold soon, no rush."

When it's cold in the countryside, the wind blowing hard in a convertible car can freeze you to death.

The cold air here is mixed with humidity, and no matter how thick you wear, it can't be blocked.

After a while, the car started to fill up with people, as it was the peak time for going back.

By the time he sent this group of guests back, it was already around eight o'clock.

I had to go to the city in the morning. There was no one on the streets at this time, so I simply drove directly to the town and parked at the bus station opposite my brother-in-law's house.

"It's three dollars per person to go to Jiuzi City." He shouted loudly and asked people when he saw them getting on the bus.

"What's wrong with you? Believe it or not, I will beat you up." The driver of the big guest walked over with a bad look in his eyes and a stick in his hand.
