Chapter 37 Making Money
The first successful refining of the Holy Light Potion made Han Dong very excited. Even though his mental energy was exhausted, he was sleepless in bed. It took more than half an hour before he fell asleep in a daze.
The next day was Sunday. When Han Dong got up, he found that it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. The sound of his mother and sister Han Xiaojie chatting in the living room, and bursts of laughter came from time to time.
"Huh, I slept too late yesterday... I didn't even enter the nightmare world... Maybe it was because I was too tired?" Han Dong sat up from the bed, rubbed his slightly sore neck, and thought to himself.
Opening the door, Han Dong walked towards the bathroom.
"Han Dong is getting up, I'll go and heat up your breakfast!" The mother stood up and prepared to walk towards the kitchen.
Han Dong looked up and was about to talk to his mother, but suddenly he was stunned.
"Hey, mom, you look very good today!" Han Dong said in surprise.
My mother's body is too overdrawn. Even if she doesn't go to work and rest at home, she always looks tired on her face. But today my mother is radiant, and even the wrinkles on her face seem to fade a little.
Meng Xin touched her cheek and said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on. I slept very well yesterday and almost didn't dream. I slept until dawn. I still did breakfast by your sister Han Xiaojie..."
"Mom, you should have a rest. When I graduate from college, you won't have worked so hard!" Han Dong said with a smile.
"Okay, with you, it's worth it for your hard work." Meng Xin smiled.
Watching his mother walking towards the kitchen, Han Dong said to himself: "It seems that my mother's body is too weak. Just a gaseous holy light potion can change so obviously..."
"In the real world, you must first improve your mother's body!"
Han Xiaojie looked at Han Dong with a thoughtful look and was about to speak, but she saw him turning around and walking towards the bathroom. After a moment of dazedness, Han Dong closed the bathroom door. Han Xiaojie stared at the bathroom door and was stunned for a moment, shook her head, burying her doubts in her heart.
She always felt that her mother's changes should be related to the herbs that Han Dong had been cooking.
You know, every time Han Dong failed to cook herbs, an unbearable odor would always be filled with the kitchen. However, yesterday, the herbs made by Han Dong did not have a odor, but had a fragrance.
Although Han Xiaojie couldn't see the talisman, it can be analyzed from the changes in the smell that the herbs made by Han Dong yesterday should have been successful, but in the end she didn't see Han Dong drinking anything, and he didn't take out anything from the kitchen. So where did the medicines made successfully go?
After breakfast, Han Dong greeted his mother, left home and walked towards the street.
The herbal portion of the Holy Light Potion should be enough for three times. This portion is definitely not enough for Han Dong to master the refining of the Holy Light Potion. He succeeded once yesterday, and the luck component accounts for a large part. If you want to thoroughly master the refining method, you must practice a lot.
Moreover, Han Dong also needs to buy some glass test tubes to preserve the refined Holy Light potion.
"Money, I'm so short of money!" Han Dong sighed, thinking about where to make some money.
While walking, he thought in his heart: "The more herbs, the better. If you want to refine the Holy Light Potion successfully, you will need at least twenty pieces. This will cost 235 yuan. In addition, you also need to buy some glass test tubes. Ordinary eight yuan per piece without sealing, and twelve yuan for those with sealing. You can buy two pieces first. It would be good if you can refine two pieces successfully. This is twenty-four yuan. I still need about two hundred and fifty-nine yuan. I still have dozens of dollars left on my body, and at least two hundred and twenty yuan will be enough..."
"Hey, I was too stupid before. I didn't have enough time to study every day, and I never thought about making money. Now I suddenly want to make money, but I have no way to do it!" Han Dong sighed, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
In his previous life, Han Dong was just an employee of an ordinary company. He made reports and PPTs every day and traveled to this world, and was of no use at all.
Before he knew it, Handong walked to the largest port in the city, where many ten thousand tons of cargo ships could be seen entering and leaving every day, transporting the goods from various factories to other countries.
Standing at the port, Han Dong's cheek was slightly blown by the salty and bitter sea breeze, and he suddenly felt relaxed and happy. Even the depression of lack of money seemed to have been relieved a lot.
At this moment, a cargo ship full of cargo pulled the whistle and stopped. Han Dong squinted his eyes and saw that the freighter was loaded with food. The grain was loaded in sacks, stacked high in layers, and a group of sailors were struggling to untickle the ropes on the sacks.
At the pier, a group of ragged people slowly surrounded him.
These are all laborers who make a living at the dock, who make money by selling their strength to load and unload goods.
There were about fifteen or sixteen of these workers, one of whom was a burly man. He was the head of the group of workers, named Hao Dahai, who was responsible for negotiating conditions with the owner of the cargo ship.
Hao Dahai looks in his thirties, with his muscles bulging and very strong. His skin looks a bit thick because of the sea breeze that has been blowing all year round, his hands are also covered with calluses, a simple smile on his face, but a shrewd look appeared in his eyes.
He shouted to the freighter: "Boss, do you need to unload the goods?"
On the freighter, a fat man holding a list glanced at him and shouted loudly: "Wait for a while, you will unload the goods after handover. Unload them within an hour. The normal price will be increased by 10%.
When Hao Dahai heard the price of 10%, his eyes lit up, and he showed a honest smile. He nodded quickly and said, "No problem, boss, let's wait."
At this time, a worker next to him frowned slightly, looked at the food loaded on the cargo ship, thought secretly for a while, and whispered to Hao Dahai: "Brother Hai, this cargo ship contains at least three thousand sacks of grain. It will take at least three hours to unload them all..."
"Monkey, you go find some people and take the lead at the normal price, and you don't need to deduct it!" Hao Dahai whispered.
This worker, who is called Monkey by Hao Dahai, is named Shen Hou. He usually calculates goods and personnel allocation.
"Okay, Brother Hai!" Shen Hou looked at the cargo ship again, and while calculating how many people it would take to unload within an hour, he walked out of the port.
"Recruiting coolies, 50 kilograms of grain per bag, unloading one bag of three, no deduction, only ten people are found, strong people are given priority!" Shen Hou came outside the port and shouted loudly.
After a while, a group of workers surrounded them. These were all workers who were single-sponsored. They did not have the qualifications to enter the port to receive goods directly, and could only wait for people outside the port to choose.
Han Dong's eyes lit up. The salary of loaders like this is paid every day. If you do well, you will definitely be fine to earn two or three hundred yuan a day.
Thinking of this, Han Dong quickly walked towards the location where Mr. Shen was.
