I knelt before the graves of my wife and daughter and repented, and I was reborn.

Xia Ye came to the shore of Longyou Valley and collected all the nets.

There are hundreds of lobsters crawling densely in each net!
Seeing the flood of crayfish, Xia Ye suddenly became ecstatic.

I can finally earn my first start-up capital!

Even on the summer night in the previous life, I had stood on the top of the clouds and my heart had already stopped.

But after his rebirth, he still couldn't help but be excited when he faced the first pot of gold he was about to receive.

This feeling of regaining his original intention seemed to pull him back from a wise man who knew his destiny back to the youthful and frivolous vitality.

He put the lobsters in each net into snakeskin bags, then put away all the lobster nets and disappeared into the early morning countryside.

Arriving at the farmer's market in Pinghu District, Longcheng City, Xia Ye bundled three lobsters in snakeskin bags and found a stall specializing in crayfish.

The crayfish at those stalls were of average quality, small in size, not fat enough, and some looked half-dead and not very fresh.

The lobsters caught in Longyougou are very large and very fat, and their quality far exceeds the lobsters at these stalls.

Xia Ye did not tear off the snakeskin bag in a hurry, but tentatively asked the stalls selling crayfish: "Is there anyone who collects lobsters? I have fresh lobsters on hand that are big and fat. Do you need any?" ?”

The owners of the lobster stalls all scorned the lobster in Xia Ye's mouth.

They have been collecting lobsters for so many years, but they have never encountered lobsters of satisfactory quality.

The lobsters they sell now only cost one yuan, but the quality is not satisfactory.

So they didn't have high hopes for the lobsters sold by Xia Ye, so they didn't bother him at all.

"The lobsters at the stall haven't been sold yet, so why do you want to accept the lobsters you have? What good products can you have on hand? If you really have good products, why don't you set up a stall to sell them yourself?"

The stall owner immediately reminded Xia Ye. Seeing that none of them were interested in his lobsters, he simply tore off the snakeskin bag and sat there to start selling.

If you don't want to accept this, you don't blame me for stealing your business.

Densely packed fresh live lobsters spread their teeth and claws in the snakeskin bag!
Lobsters of this quality immediately outshine the lobsters on all stalls.

There are more and more customers at the farmer's market, and many people are attracted by the fresh lobsters in the snakeskin bags on summer nights.

“How do you sell lobsters?”

On weekdays, the bosses of these seafood stalls sell lobsters for two yuan a pound, but the quality of their lobsters cannot be compared with the lobsters caught on summer nights.

"Two yuan and fifty one catty."

"Is lobster of such good quality sold so cheaply?"

Xia Ye smiled and said, "The lobsters we just caught last night are all fresh lobsters."

"Okay, give me ten catties."

As the No. 1 customer came, more and more customers rushed to queue up to buy crayfish here on a summer night.

The other lobster stall owners were so jealous that they mentally sent greetings to Xia Ye's ancestors.

The sudden arrival of summer nights is equivalent to occupying their original market share.

There were only so many customers buying lobsters, but now they all go to Xia Ye to buy them. There is not a single customer for the lobsters in their stall.

Customers are not fools, and they can tell at a glance whose lobster is of better quality.

Moreover, Xia Ye sells lobsters of such good quality for only two yuan and a half per catty, which is only fifty cents more expensive than their lobsters.

The 320 kilograms of lobsters were all sold out in one morning.

And Xia Ye earned her first pot of 800 yuan from three sacks of crayfish, and she was extremely happy.At this time, the other stall owners hated Xia Ye, but Xia Ye put away the snakeskin bag, patted her butt and left the farmer's market.

……

Xia Ye, who had earned her first start-up capital, was sitting in a ramen restaurant eating a steaming bowl of ramen.

And his brain is working rapidly, trying to find a second way to make money.

Now that he has a capital of 800 yuan, what profitable business can he do?
There are less than four days left. To turn eight hundred into fifty thousand, you can only get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.

Just when Xia Ye was a little confused, a familiar figure came into the ramen restaurant.

When the young man saw Xia Ye, he walked straight over and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, it's rare to see you eating and dining out. Have you won money recently?"

Xia Ye smiled bitterly and shook her head.

The visitor’s name is Lao Ba, a poker friend of Xia Ye’s.

In their previous lives, the two of them often hung out and played cards together. Since Xia Ye gave up gambling, they have never interacted with him again.

But I heard that later Lao Ba also borrowed a loan shark because of gambling, and was bullied by debt collectors. His wife and children were separated, and his family was destroyed.

When he saw Lao Ba, the memories of his past life flooded out again in Xia Ye's mind.

At the card table, Lao Ba once mentioned to him that his neighbor was unlucky.

Collecting rags from door to door in their community, he found a lot of ancient coins among the piles of rags he collected, and sold them for eight or nine thousand, which made him envious.

Eighty-nine thousand in 2000 was equivalent to more than a year's salary of an ordinary working class person.

If you can really pick up such a leak, even if you actually collect the rags, it's worth it.

Thinking of this, Xia Ye made up her mind and prepared to take the 800 yuan in her hand to collect rags from the shantytown garden community where Lao Ba lived.

As soon as Lao Ba sat down across from him, Xia Ye stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "Lao Ba, eat slowly. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is someone organizing a game to make gold flowers again? Just take your brother with you."

Xia Ye said sincerely: "Listen to my brother's advice and quit gambling as soon as possible, let alone borrow loan sharks. Don't involve your whole family by then. The gains outweigh the losses."

When Lao Ba heard these words from Xia Ye, he was extremely surprised!

It's obvious that the other party is more addicted to gambling than you are, so why do you still persuade yourself not to gamble anymore?

Could it be that Brother Ye has changed his ways?

impossible!
He is a frequent visitor to major casinos in Longcheng City. He can only quit gambling if the sun rises in the west.

Looking at Xia Ye's leaving figure, Lao Ba asked anxiously: "Brother Ye, where are you going?"

"To make money."

Lao Ba rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, does he have any skills now? Tell me about it quickly?"

"I don't know much about it, just collect the rags! Do you want to go together?"

Lao Ba felt speechless for a while. He would never do such a thing as collecting rags, because it was too embarrassing!

I really didn’t expect that the rotten gambler in front of me would actually end up in such a bad situation. He could only make a living by collecting rags. How miserable was he?
No wonder he would persuade himself to stop gambling. It turned out that he was using himself as a lesson learned from the past?
"Brother Ye, go ahead and do your work first. You are having such a difficult time now, so I won't call you in future poker games, so as not to cause any trouble for you."

Xia Ye nodded, and then said: "As I said before, don't touch loan sharks, otherwise you will regret it."

He could only say this. As for whether Lao Ba would listen or not, it all depends on his own destiny.
