A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely
Chapter 22 Strange Movements in the Balance
That night, Hu Wangfei performed exceptionally well.
Having broken stones, caught fish, been bitten by snakes, and been stung by leeches, he now felt that helping Hu Dahai collect fish was an extremely easy task.
He received every seafood delivery with utmost care, carefully inspected it, and even wrote down the quantity in a notebook to record it clearly.
Hu Dahai came out to check on things quite a few times during that period and found that Hu Wangfei was indeed doing a good job. So he was relieved and began to focus on making the seasoning for the fish tofu.
After all the seafood vendors had left, Hu Wangfei and Bao Yuanshan placed the fish, snails, clams, eels, loaches, turtles, and other seafood in the fishpond in their backyard.
He added up all the quantities one by one, summarized them, and handed the total to Hu Dahai: "Dad, this is everything we collected today. Take a look, I have a record of everything."
Hu Dahai took the notebook and looked at it; indeed, he remembered it very clearly. Satisfied, he took out 5 cents from his bag and handed it to Hu Wangfei: "You did a good job today, but this is what you should normally do. If you don't do well in the future, your salary will still be deducted."
"Oh, and don't forget to add water to the fish pond tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Dad." Hu Wangfei happily walked away with the fifty cents, thanking Hu Dahai profusely.
In the past, even if Hu Dahai gave him five yuan, he would have felt that he should take it. He wouldn't have said thank you, or even given a smile.
The next morning, Hu Wangfei got up before dawn and not only cooked porridge for Hu Dahai, but also went to the fish pond to take care of the aquatic products.
By the time Hu Dahai got up, he was already about to leave.
"You're going to school so early, they probably haven't even opened yet, have they?" Hu Dahai said while drinking the porridge he had just made.
"Dad, I need to go early to clean up at the school gate and admit my mistake. Otherwise, how can the principal and teachers let me continue my studies?" Hu Wangfei said sincerely.
Hu Dahai wasn't emotionally affected, after all, this was something Hu Wangfei should have done a long time ago. He waved his hand to signal Hu Wangfei to leave, and at the same time, he didn't forget to remind him: "Don't forget to come back and do the housework in the evening."
Last night we collected a total of over 700 jin of fish, 300 jin of eels and loaches, over 500 jin of snails, over 100 jin of river clams, and one soft-shelled turtle.
Because they needed to deliver goods to two different places today, and didn't want to make two trips back and forth, Bao Yuanshan's cart was also requisitioned.
Some of the loaches, snails, and eels were placed on Bao Yuanshan's cart, while the fish collected yesterday and the fish left over from the day before, totaling nearly 1000 jin, were placed on Hu Dahai's own cart.
Because Bao Yuanshan's cart only had two wheels, it was very tiring to push, and Bao Yuanshan couldn't push it by himself, so Hu Dahai pushed Bao Yuanshan's cart.
The two men first arrived at the entrance of the food factory, where they unloaded nearly 700 jin (approximately 350 catties) of fish and sold them for 210 yuan. Zhang Zhaoxing didn't even look at them; he simply waved for them to take the fish. He trusted the fish delivered by Hu Dahai.
There were also two large bags of seasonings, enough to cook 1000 catties of fish. Zhang Zhaoxing gave Hu Dahai 100 yuan.
"Brother Dahai, you said yesterday that there was something else you wanted to teach me. I wonder what it is?" Just as Hu Dahai was about to leave, Zhang Zhaoxing excitedly rubbed his hands together and came to Hu Dahai's side to ask.
"Oh, then leave another 10 jin of snails. There's one more thing related to snails. I'll teach you when I get back," Hu Dahai said, pointing to the snails.
Zhang Zhaoxing smiled broadly: "Alright, then I'll be waiting for you!"
After leaving the food factory, Hu Dahai and his group went to the vegetable market to sell fish as usual.
Although the food factory already had a stable sales channel, Hu Dahai was still unwilling to give up his customers at the local market. In particular, he still needed to sell his eels, loaches, and clams at the market.
Because the quantity was not large this time, they sold out quickly, earning another two hundred yuan, which made Hu Dahai's pockets bulge once again.
Hu Dahai told Bao Yuanshan to take the cart back, and he went to the food factory again.
This time at the food factory, Hu Dahai demonstrated stir-fried snails for Zhang Zhaoxing. Ordinary snails, combined with Hu Dahai's secret seasoning packet, became incredibly delicious when cooked. Fragrant and spicy, it was irresistible.
"Brother Dahai, these snails are delicious, but how much do you want to sell them?" Zhang Zhaoxing asked, puzzled, as he picked at the snail meat with a toothpick.
"Are we just going to take these snails to the street and sell them?"
Hu Dahai smiled and said, "How about we eat these snails as a snack?"
"Snacks?" Zhang Zhaoxing's face was full of question marks. He really couldn't equate these snails with snacks.
Hu Dahai smiled and gestured with his hands, saying, "Take some cooked snails, put them in small bags, and put a few toothpicks in each bag. Usually, when children come home from school, they can buy a bag at the corner store and eat snails on their way home. Do you think anyone would buy that?"
"You can sell it like this?" Zhang Zhaoxing was completely stunned after hearing Hu Dahai's words.
He had worked in the food factory for so long and had never thought of selling snails in bags. But then he thought, if he were a child, he probably would also want to buy a bag of snails if he came across them.
“It seems like it really could work.” Zhang Zhaoxing thought for a moment and said, “We can give it a try. I think it should generate pretty good sales revenue.”
"I'll take the samples to the supply and marketing cooperatives tomorrow. I haven't sent out my fish tofu samples yet."
Zhang Zhaoxing said excitedly, "Brother Dahai, thank you so much this time. Regardless of whether the fish tofu and snails sell well, you are a great benefactor to our food factory. At least you have given us hope."
Hu Dahai waved his hand: "It's okay, I need them too. If you sell well, I can sell my fish and snails to you, and we can all make money together."
"Yes, yes, let's all make money together." Zhang Zhaoxing held Hu Dahai's hand, full of gratitude.
It was at this time.
Hu Dahai suddenly felt a ding-dong sound in his mind.
His expression changed instantly, and then, under Zhang Zhaoxing's questioning gaze, he hurriedly walked out of the food factory.
After arriving under a shady tree, Hu Dahai immediately focused his consciousness into his mind.
That's right, the strange noise he just heard in his mind came from the scales. Something must have happened inside the scales.
He hasn't paid attention to the Libra for a while now. Although the Libra is his cheat code, Hu Dahai hasn't relied on it too much because his life is already going well and he's getting busier, so he doesn't have the time or energy to pay attention to the Libra.
So these past few days, Hu Dahai has been thinking that as long as the holy water accumulates slowly, it will eventually fill the copper cup, and then the other side of the scale will naturally tilt up.
Unexpectedly, when I stopped paying attention to it, the scales started to move.
Sure enough, when his consciousness entered his mind, he saw that the other side of the scale, which had been hidden, was now tilted high.
Below the scales hung a somewhat translucent crystal.
"What is this thing? A diamond? If it is a diamond, then it's such a waste. I'd rather use that holy water to improve my physique." Hu Dahai stepped forward with great curiosity and began to examine the crystal closely.
But just as Hu Dahai's fingers touched the crystal...
Suddenly, the crystal emitted a dazzling light, then transformed into a stream of light that shattered the void and pierced into Hu Dahai's body.
