Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 95: Messy
Erhu came out when he heard the noise, and was so amused to see him taking the two puppies for a walk.

"Such a small dog, bringing it out to be bullied by cats."

"Brother Niu went out to steal women?" Qin Dahe saw that the dog's legs were weak when he walked, and he guessed that he had sold a lot of women.

"Didn't you help me get my fishing rod back last time? I'll let it out for a spin every night."

"Don't let it get stolen. It's going to get cold soon and many people will eat dogs." Qin Dahe was a little worried.

"He's quite smart. He never eats food from strangers."

"Be careful."

Qin Dahe shook his head. People who beat dogs never use food to drug them. A rabbit trap can do the job.

After returning from Erhu's house, he began to think about going to work.

Winter is coming soon, so forget about catching big fish, but the work is stable. I can earn 700 to 800 yuan by doing ten jobs a month.

"Son, come here." My mother called him as soon as she saw him come home.

Qin Dahe shrank his neck. He felt that he was really going too far by having to masturbate so late at night.

"What's wrong, Mother?"

"Get the hell out of here, talk normally." I wanted to hang him on a tree with my intestines, it was too painful.

"No fishing from now on?"

"It depends. Anyway, we don't catch big fish, so we can go out occasionally in the afternoon to have a look." When the weather gets cold, it is impossible to catch big fish, so we can only catch big crucian carp occasionally.

"Then you should start driving tomorrow and find a way to start a side job."

"Where's my dad?"

"Go to the fields. They are busy now."

"Oh, I'll drive tomorrow." Qin Dahe nodded quickly. His mother still loved him and didn't let him get out of bed.

Working in the fields is more tiring than working in the flower-making factory because he needs to keep his waist bent all the time, and he can't bear it for a whole day.

Qin's mother also thought so. It would be better for her to work less before getting married. Otherwise, how would her son live after his waist was broken?
After returning to the house, Qin Dahe began to think about a side job. Once he became familiar with the flower-making factory, he could collect cotton.

He is now leading a team of temporary workers. After a while, he will become familiar with the situation. It would be best if he could be assigned to the accountant or factory manager.

But it seems a bit troublesome. Those who pick cotton are all relatives of the shareholders, and ordinary people can't get involved at all.

The next day, after finishing a trip, he did not choose to go home, but instead filled up some gas and went to the county feed factory.

Wuwei County is full of duck farms, and the duck down industry is very developed, so there are also many feed factories.

He found the feed factory and asked about the purchase of agricultural products. He had a tricycle and could go along to collect the goods.

"Little guy, it's not easy for you to collect food by yourself."

"It's okay. I have many brothers, so we can go together. The main issue is whether you guys agree or not."

"Yes, but we usually buy old grain from the county grain station. We only accept it if it's not part of the production plan. Leave me your phone number and I'll call you when you need the goods." The manager of the feed factory was quite polite to him.

And I think this young man is really enterprising. He came straight to us and asked if their factory would accept grain.

"Okay, thank you manager."

After leaving the factory, Qin Dahe was still very excited. He didn't expect that he could really get a way.

We can’t harvest cotton for the time being, but we can harvest grain.

My father was not optimistic about the farm in town that was planning to deliver the goods. They were all from the same village, and if they made an extra cent, they would be accused of being greedy. It would be much better to cooperate directly with the feed factory in the county.

At worst, you can just run away and make a profit from the price difference. It's not a staple food like rice. There is still a few cents difference between corn and soybeans.

After leaving the feed factory, he went straight to the county town to eat a bowl of noodles. In the afternoon, he continued to ask around, hoping to gain more sales channels.

But the cost of food in the county is really expensive. A bowl of noodles with meat costs five yuan, while in Jiuzi and Cena it costs three yuan.

I ran south in the afternoon and was almost in Xiang'an when I found another feed factory.

After asking, the other party said that it would be available in the next few days, and the purchase price would fluctuate with the grain station. I would contact you by phone when the time comes.

Their factory actually doesn't like dealing with the grain station because there are too many rules and regulations. However, since the purchase volume is large, they have to go to the grain station.

If a private individual dares to trade grain on a large scale, someone will come to investigate you in minutes.

They would definitely welcome Qin Dahe, a small-scale grain collector, to come to them on his own initiative, and any additional supply would be appreciated.

This is also a misconception that many people don’t think about.

People who open feed mills want to make money, so they go wherever the price is low and convenient. It is very troublesome to buy stale grain from the grain station, and you have to register it.

It was not until dark that Qin Dahe rushed home. He burned two tanks of oil today, but it was all worth it.

He contacted two feed factories and two breeding farms in total, and they all left his phone number. One of them even said on the spot that they would accept the product.

Once the sales channels are opened, it will be easy to make money in the future.

He was planning to take root in the countryside, but he didn't want to work hard in the fields every day. He could still make some money by reselling goods.

It was already seven o'clock when they got home. The couple was a little worried and kept waiting. They only felt relieved when he came back.

"Where did you go today? Drive the car out for a day. Remember to say hello next time you go out." The mother slapped him. She had specially cooked large intestines in the evening, but the dish was cold and her son didn't come back.

"Eat first, I'm starving." Qin Dahe urged anxiously.

"I've found a market for corn and soybeans. Dad, come over here and let's discuss it."

Father Qin was slightly surprised when he heard this. Is his son so capable?

The food was hot, and he ate the braised large intestine and kidney with rice. It was so delicious that he couldn't put his chopsticks down. It would have been even better if there was some wine.

"I went to the county for a whole day and everyone left their phone number. One company wants some goods these days."

"Really? How much is it?" The old man was surprised. It was unexpected money.

"It fluctuates with the price of new grain at the grain station, but corn is five cents higher and soybeans are ten cents higher."

"Ce, this is good, we can have the best of both worlds."

When collecting grain, the price is based on the grain station price and then reduced a little, which is explained to the outside world as the freight.

In fact, apart from the diesel for tricycles, everyone needs at least some money before they are willing to sell the vehicles.

Harvesting grain is not as simple as going and coming back. You have to carefully check the quality of the grain and whether there are any stones mixed in. Some people like to do these things.

Grain is better, the unit price is low, cotton is three yuan and a few cents per pound. Some people add stones into the bag and put them in the middle of the bag. Many people have fallen into this trap.

Not only do you have to move the goods and load the trucks yourself, collecting grain is really hard work.

"Son, let your dad take you for a few days. You probably can't do it alone."

"I know, but I've never done this kind of business before, so I must have my dad to lead me." Qin Dahe didn't feel that he had any advantage in this regard.

It would be better if my father, who is more vicious, came forward and helped me to find the way.

"So, will you continue fishing?"

"It depends on the situation. People don't ask for goods every day. We have to wait for news."

"Well, it's always good to make some money."

The couple both had the same idea in their minds that their son had completely matured. The fact that he was able to go out and make his own way today made him better than most people in the village.

After dinner, Qin Dahe began to prepare crucian carp bait.

When you have nothing to do in winter, you can still fish for big crucian carp, but it's cold.

At this time, my mother called him, "Abao, your phone is on."

"coming."

When Qin Dahe went over to listen, he found out that it was a call from the flower-making factory, asking him to bring people to work there the day after tomorrow.

He readily agreed that he couldn't delay going to work as he earned eighty yuan a day.

You can let your parents go to pick up the goods. I’m as strong as a cow, so I can still help your father.

As for the work in the fields, there is only a small amount of land, so I can finish it by working overtime.

Go back and continue to prepare crucian carp feed, which is the commercial bait with fishy smell in later generations.

The main ingredients are corn flour, shrimp powder, earthworm powder and glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is used to increase the viscosity, and some ground MSG and salt are added.

This is just like cooking, the fish has to like it.

After the flavor is determined, add silk powder and snowflake powder. The snowflake powder should be ground to make the bait expand. The silk powder is mainly used to pull out a small lump of loose bait instead of rubbing the bait.

Pure small yellow flour bait can actually be used for fishing, but the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

After the bait finished absorbing water, he tried to pull the bait, but it didn't work.

Then add the silk powder and adjust it back and forth several times before making a crucian carp bait that meets the requirements of atomization.

It smells very strong, and crucian carp should like it.

But it can’t be used now. I’ll have to give Erhu and the others more experiments and try to make an attractive bait.

Seeing that it was already past eight o'clock, he stretched himself and thought that it was another fulfilling day.

The next morning, Qin Dahe continued to drive the car. He couldn't stop because the main source of income for the family was now on the tricycle.

Even if business is bad, I can still make about 30 yuan a day, and 70 or 80 yuan a day when business is good.

When I came back for the second time, I also bought a loudspeaker, which was a special request from Qin's father.

"Dad, should we use a loud speaker to shout? How do we record it?"

"Just shout 'harvest corn, harvest soybeans' at the top of your voice and enunciate clearly."

"Okay, hey, I wonder how much money I can make today?"

"On the first day, as long as we don't lose money, we'll work out a solution."

The first stop is to go straight to Fenghuang Bridge and go down from Chenwan. Chenwan is a large village with thousands of people, and the people here grow a variety of crops.

Unlike their village, where the crops are all cotton, only a small part of the fields grow some corn for their own consumption.

"Harvest corn, harvest soybeans!"

"Harvest corn, harvest soybeans!"

The sound from the loud speaker kept looping, and the sound of electricity was very loud, but you could make out what it meant.

Some people stuck their heads out to take a look, realized it was a tricycle collecting goods, and then went back.

They kept running along the village. The dirt road was bumpy and the vibrations made their lumbar spines unbearable.

"Stop, this is Chenwan's old site, and there's a convenience store here. Just shout here." The old man couldn't stand it any longer.

If he continues to be so crazy, he will have to apply plaster again.

"Oh." Qin Dahe quickly stopped and turned off the engine.

He couldn't stand it anymore. It turned out that receiving goods was so hard work. He was exhausted before even opening the store.

After a while, someone came over and asked how to harvest corn and rice bran.

I contacted the factory this morning. The price of corn today is 52 cents, but I don’t know whether they will buy rice bran.

Qin Dahe took out his mobile phone and started asking. After learning about it, the other party said that they also wanted rice bran, and the price was 1.4 cents.

He curled his lips and thought, how much should he charge at 1.4 cents to cover the shipping fee? If it's less, people will definitely not sell it to him. It's more cost-effective to feed the chickens and ducks than to sell it.

If you make one cent per pound, then it's only ten yuan per thousand pounds. A tricycle can only carry three or four thousand pounds at most. What's the point?

"Sister, we only accept corn and soybeans, and corn is 50 cents." The old man was afraid that his son would mess up the first time he bought the goods, so he took the initiative to talk to the other party.

The feed factory charges fifty-two cents plus five cents, and they have to deduct the shipping cost, so fifty cents is a very fair price.

"We don't accept rice bran." The middle-aged woman was obviously a little disappointed, and then she said, "I have 600 kilograms of corn here. You can drive the car over and collect it."

Since she was growing corn, she must have known the market conditions. My eldest sister was also a straightforward person and was too lazy to grind it for a cent. It was only 600 kilograms anyway.

The old man nodded and asked Qin Dahe to wait here while he went to receive the goods.

"If we were both together, I don't know how I would collect all these Dao Dao in the future?"

The old man thought about it and realized that it was true. His son had to go with him.

Moreover, it takes two people to weigh the goods, and the large hook scale needs to be carried by two people.

When they arrived at the place, the father and son, under the owner's instructions, moved ten bags of corn out of the utility room.

Father Qin took the trouble to check each bag, inserting a sampling rod for checking grain to see if the corn was dry.

Normally, it must be dried in the sun. If it is not dried, it will easily become moldy. The roads in the countryside are slippery, so you have to be careful.

And each bag of corn needs to be shaken many times and the bottom pinched to see if there are any stones trapped.

The last step was weighing. The father and son carried the large hook scale and weighed one bag after another.

Then write down the weight with a pen and ask the owner to confirm it is correct.

"635 pounds, big sister, the total is 317 yuan. This is my first time receiving goods, so I'll calculate it as yuan. Do you think I can take a look at it?"

"Okay, let's go with this price." The elder sister was very satisfied when she heard it.

After paying the money, the father and son began to load the car. Each bag weighed more than 60 kilograms, so they had to fill it tightly and try to fill the car up today.

It took more than twenty minutes to finish the work here, and then someone came over.

This store has both corn and soybeans, and the lady who sells the grain is so talkative.

"The grain station is charging 53 or 54 cents, and you're only charging 50 cents. You should be prepared to make several thousand per truck." The woman's voice was so loud that it attracted everyone around her.

"Sister, what you said is inappropriate. We are both willing to do business. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."

"The price at the grain station today is fifty-two cents. We make two cents per pound. It's only three thousand pounds when it's fully loaded. How much money can we make?" Qin's father said back without showing any weakness.

The woman on the other side rolled up her sleeves and took another step forward.

"If you say fifty-two cents, then fifty-two cents. Just add a cent to it."

"That won't work. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."

"You won't be poor if you don't earn a penny. All of us who are honest farmers have been killed by you." The woman was ready to take another step forward, ready to embarrass the old man.

"Get out of here! How dare you mess with me without even asking who I, Qin Da, am?" The old man held the weighing rod and refused to give in.

If he goes any further, he will beat someone up. At worst, he will go to the brigade headquarters. He doesn't believe that this village is unreasonable.

It's really unreasonable. No one will come to collect the goods in the future.

"Son, drive. Let's go to another village. What's the point of carrying things?" Seeing that the other party did not move forward, the old man said this and put the things away.

I was also very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the rule of law, I would have hit him with a stick just now.
