Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

On the way home, Jiang Lanqing was in a better mood than ever before.

However, he seemed to remember something, and looked at Lu Hai and reminded him, "Although you are making a lot of money now, the policy has not changed. Remember not to be the first to stand out."

"You can earn money again if you lose it, but once you lose a person, it's gone for real..."

Lu Hai did not refute Jiang Lanqing's words, but looked at Jiang Lanqing seriously.

"Of course I know, but I want to discuss something with you..."

Jiang Lanqing was also shocked by Lu Hai's move, and was a little confused, but he still replied, "Go ahead..."

"That's right. I want to borrow a mule cart from the cooperative." Lu Hai said seriously.

"Borrow a mule cart?" Jiang Lanqing was puzzled.

A mule is a combination of a horse and a donkey. Although its strength and endurance are not as good as those of a horse, it is better than that of a donkey. It is considered a very balanced breed. The most important thing is that it does not eat as much as a horse. Its disadvantage may be that it cannot reproduce.

Basically, mules are a means of transportation used in many rural areas.

After all, cows are very strong but not very fast, so they are basically used for plowing fields. Although there are ox carts, they are relatively rare.

The most important thing is that mule carts run more smoothly and are much more comfortable than ox carts.

Therefore, mule carts are more common than horse carts, donkey carts, and ox carts.

"Yes, as you can see, I can make a lot of money by setting up stalls now, but the things I can carry every day are very limited. But if I had a mule cart, it might not be the case." Lu Hai nodded.

At this time, Jiang Lanqing also reacted. After all, Lu Hai had limited manpower to carry back and forth every day, and could only carry a few dozen kilograms of things at most.

But if you have a mule, you can carry hundreds of kilograms of things back and forth in a day.

How much money do you make that day?

Hundreds of dollars are easy.

"You can also borrow it yourself?" Jiang Lanqing was puzzled.

Lu Hai smiled bitterly, "Wife, you know my reputation in our village..."

reputation?

Jiang Lanqing reacted immediately.

Lu Hai's father is the one who raises mules and cows in the commune on a daily basis.

The old man knew his son's character very well. If he loaned him out and his son was slaughtered like meat, the team would definitely not forgive him.

Therefore, if Lu Hai went to borrow it, he would definitely not be able to borrow it.

"But where do you get so many things to sell every day?"

After all, Lu Hai had to go to the city to set up a stall in the morning, and could only catch some loaches, snails and the like in the afternoon.

At most, it's just a few dozen pounds, far from being enough for a mule cart.

Unless Lu Hai doesn't rest, doesn't eat, and stays in the fields all the time.

However, this is obviously unrealistic.

Lu Hai smiled mysteriously, "I can't touch it by myself, I can't catch so much, but what if I buy it from someone?"

"Buy?" Jiang Lanqing was puzzled.

"Yes, if I buy from the villagers, will I have them? Now some kids have nothing to do, I can ask them to help me catch them. I will charge 10 cents per pound for the loaches, eels, and snails."

There are many children in the village who do not go to school. If they are allowed to catch loaches and snails and get money, these children will definitely be very happy.

Moreover, these things are grown in the fields and no one eats them. It is easy for one person to gain dozens of kilograms of them in a day.

Lu Hai had actually thought of this idea a long time ago, but he had always been troubled by a lack of capital to do it.

After all, he had a bad reputation, and if he told people they could get it for money, no one would believe him at all.

This is only possible if you come up with cash.

But he didn't have any cash at that time.

Now that we have a few dozen dollars, this is possible.

"But where can others buy so much?"

After all, few people go to the black market to buy things, and the concept of speculation is there.

If caught, the buyers will be fined, so only a few people dare to buy on the black market.

It's unrealistic to expect such a small number of people to consume hundreds of kilograms of loaches, eels and snails every day.

However, Lu Hai smiled mysteriously and said, "The mountain people have their own clever ideas. Wife, you just need to help me borrow a mule cart, and I won't have to worry about the daily sales."

Seeing Lu Hai's mysterious look, Jiang Lanqing knew that Lu Hai already had an idea.

Without asking any more questions, he agreed to Lu Hai's request to help borrow the mule cart.

This was not a difficult task for her, as her father-in-law had a very good impression of her.

Moreover, I believe that when my father-in-law sees that Lu Hai is willing to change, he will naturally support him from the bottom of his heart.

Because he had taken a day off, Jiang Lanqing accompanied Lu Hai to catch loaches and snails in the afternoon.

As the saying goes, a husband and wife working together can accomplish anything, and work will not be tiring when men and women work together.

So, in just one afternoon, the two of them touched almost two hundred kilograms of things.

Moreover, the mule cart was pulled back to Lu Hai at night.

But as soon as Jiang Lanqing stepped into the door, he smelled a peculiar fragrance that made him swallow his saliva.

At this time, Lu Haigang came up with a plate of food.

Jiang Lanqing couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw the dish.

“Is this fried snails?”

Aren’t these the snails that Lu Hai and I caught this afternoon?

However, she really didn't know that these snails, which looked inconspicuous and no one ate, were so delicious after being fried!

Lu Hai nodded, "Yeah!"

"Come and try it and see how it tastes."

Having said that, Lu Hai is very confident in his cooking skills.

Then, under Lu Hai's instruction, Jiang Lanqing began to eat snails, which he had never eaten before.

When she sucked out the first bite of snail meat, the texture and flavor completely awakened her taste buds.

The first time I ate snails, I almost bit my tongue.

After the two finished their meal, Jiang Lanqing still felt a little unsatisfied.

Lu Hai looked at Jiang Lanqing, whose mouth was full of oil, and smiled.

"You haven't said anything yet."

Jiang Lanqing seemed to have just realized that the dish of snails fried by Lu Hai was indeed a rare delicacy in the world.

“I think it’s really delicious!”

"Then tell me, is this dish worthy of being served in a state-owned guesthouse?" Lu Hai asked with a smile.

"Are you planning to fry the snails you received and then send them to the state-owned guesthouse?" Jiang Lanqing reacted instantly after hearing Lu Hai's words.

After all, if Lu Hai really received hundreds of kilograms of snails every day, it seemed that the only places that could digest so many snails would be this state-owned guesthouse and some factory canteens.

But soon, Jiang Lanqing thought of something, "But, isn't this speculation? And this state-owned guesthouse is a state-owned unit."

Lu Hai smiled and said, "Speculation is about buying and selling. I just sold what I caught. How can I buy and sell it?"

"but......."

"But these things were actually bought back from those people in the village, right?" Lu Hai knew what Jiang Lanqing was wondering.

Jiang Lanqing nodded straightforwardly.

"If the people in the village didn't tell me, who would know that they sold it to me?" Lu Hai said to Jiang Lanqing.

He had thought about this question a long time ago. If he could make money, who would openly tell others that he was engaging in speculation?

Unless this person is sick!

If this thing can really be done, then the people in the village who catch snails and loaches for themselves can earn at least two or three yuan a day, which is equivalent to the work points of working in the fields for ten days.

If they still want to overturn the table when they can earn so much, then they are really sick.

"But if everyone in the village is catching snails and loaches for you and no one goes to the fields, wouldn't that affect production? This would be more serious than speculation," Jiang Lanqing said worriedly.

"This problem is easy to solve. I limit the amount I purchase each day. After all, if there are too many, even a small county won't be able to handle them all." Lu Hai answered confidently.

He had thought about this problem a long time ago. Each person only needs to collect ten kilograms per day, which can basically be solved in half an hour.

It will not affect the village's production tasks at all, so even if the commune knows about it, they won't say anything.

After all, the whole village depends on this to make money!

It does not affect production and allows everyone to make money. This is something that everyone is happy about, and the commune will definitely turn a blind eye to it.

However, you have to negotiate all of this yourself tomorrow, otherwise no matter how much you say, it will be in vain.
