Inside a truck at the entrance of Xiao Shahe Village.
Jiang Tao was calculating expenses on his phone.
This morning at Pang Dongdong Supermarket, he spent a total of 4497 yuan.
He received 5250 yuan transferred from Yu Dongdong, plus Uncle Landlord's 2400 yuan, totaling 7650 yuan.
7650-4497 = 3153!
He earned more than 3000 yuan in just one morning!
Although it wasn't as much as he earned yesterday selling watches, it was still very good!
After finishing the calculations, he contentedly smoked a cigarette.
Only then did Jiang Tao start the car and head straight for Red Star Second-Hand Furniture Market.
At exactly 9 a.m., Jiang Tao parked his car at the entrance of the furniture market, waiting patiently for customers to take the bait, just like a fisherman.
In the past, whenever Jiang Tao came to the furniture market, he would start to feel anxious.
Would business be good or bad today? How much money could he earn?
He was too short of money, with only money in his heart and only money in his eyes.
When business was good and he earned a lot of money, he would be very happy and excited.
When business was bad and he earned little money, he would start to feel anxious and engage in internal friction.
Every time his phone rang, he would worry, wondering if a creditor was calling to demand payment again.
Today, with a base income of 3000 yuan, Jiang Tao's mood relaxed a lot.
He felt that the world in his eyes had become clearer, and his breathing had become smoother.
"A man is in high spirits when he encounters a happy event," which probably describes Jiang Tao's current state.
"Master, how much to haul a few beds to Baigezhuang New Village?"
Jiang Tao hadn't finished smoking a cigarette after getting out of the car when a job came knocking on his door.
After some bargaining, they finally agreed on a price of 70 yuan.
Jiang Tao got into the car, started it, and followed the customer to the wholesale market, beginning his day's work.
Overall, today was a lucky day.
He hauled a total of 3 jobs in the morning, earning 230 yuan.
He ate fried pancakes at a small restaurant next to the wholesale market for lunch, costing 10 yuan.
He rested in the car for about an hour at noon, and in the afternoon, he hauled another 4 jobs, earning exactly 300 yuan.
In one day, he earned a total of 530 yuan, and after deducting the cost of fuel, the net profit was at least 400 yuan.
At 6 p.m., as dusk began to fall, the market closed, ending the day's business.
Jiang Tao also finished work and drove home.
For dinner, he cooked tomato and egg noodles himself.
3 yuan for the noodles, 4 yuan for the tomatoes, plus 2 eggs.
The meal cost less than 10 yuan, and he was full.
After eating and drinking his fill, he had a few sips of wine with peanuts, and his little life was quite enjoyable.
"What will tomorrow's intelligence be? It would be great to have more intelligence about making money!"
While drinking his wine, Jiang Tao had a thought, opened the intelligence system, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
[There are still 5 hours and 27 minutes until the next intelligence update, please wait patiently...]
Ding-ling-ling~
The phone rang, and Jiang Tao saw that it was a video call initiated by his wife, Xu Li, so he tapped to answer the call.
The phone screen flashed, and Xu Li's figure appeared.
Xu Li was wearing a light gray dress today, looking tall and slender, which highlighted her temperament.
Even though they were an old married couple, Jiang Tao would often feel a certain impulse when he saw his wife wearing beautiful clothes.
"Oh, whose wife is this? She's so beautiful!"
"What's the use of being beautiful? Some people don't even use it."
"Puahaha, you old geezer, I want to use it every day. Why don't you bring our daughter to Beijing to stay for a few days?"
"Tch, I'm not going to stay in your doghouse. Am I going to sleep on the floor at your place?"
"If you two come, of course you can't live in my doghouse. We'll rent a place in the community."
"If you have that extra money, it's better to save it for buying New Year's clothes for you and Xiao Xue! By the way, Husband, did you sell the phone?"
"Sold it, sold it for 4000."
As Jiang Tao spoke, he directly transferred 4000 yuan to Xu Li on WeChat.
Of course, this money was not from selling the phone, but from selling the watches and wine.
He wasn't planning to sell the binghongcha (ice black tea) winning iphone15, he was saving it as a New Year's gift for Xu Li.
"I saw on Jingdong that a brand new one costs more than 4300, so you lost more than 300 yuan!"
Xu Li had a very distressed look on her face. 300 yuan was enough for her daughter to drink milk for two months.
"Be content! It's not bad to be able to sell it for this price. If you don't lose a little, why would people buy it from us? Wouldn't it be better to buy it directly online?"
"That's true! By the way, Husband, let me tell you something."
"Yeah, go ahead."
"My mom transferred 20,000 yuan to me today to help us in case of emergency."
"Including what you gave me before, and the 4000 yuan just now, I have about 30,000 yuan in my hands right now."
"If someone asks us for debt, let's discuss it with them first, pay off part of it first, and pay off the rest next year."
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You can earn money slowly and pay it back slowly. Health is always the most important thing."
"Your daughter and I are still waiting to live a good life with you, so you must take good care of your body."
Listening to Xu Li's rambling words on the other end of the phone, Jiang Tao felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
It was worth it for him to be able to marry such a wife in this lifetime, who was willing to share his joys and sorrows and was so understanding!
"Don't worry, Wife, our family's good days are not far away. You and our daughter just wait to enjoy the good life!"
Jiang Tao looked at the azure blue virtual panel in front of him.
It was as if he had already seen the beautiful times when the family of three lived happily together every day.
The couple talked on the phone for more than an hour before hanging up.
Jiang Tao ate and drank his fill, simply washed up, and then got into bed to listen to audiobooks.
In the past few years, he often went out and walked around.
Often, he would wander to the foot massage street.
As he got older and older, his life became simpler and simpler, and he became more and more able to endure loneliness.
Seeing that the time displayed on his phone was already 0:01, Jiang Tao pressed the pause button and closed the audiobook page.
"May the God of Wealth bless me and give me some intelligence about making money!"
"Lack of money, lack of money, lack of money! I'll say the important thing three times!"
Jiang Tao rubbed his hands, bowed to the air, and then opened the intelligence system with a thought.
[Today's Intelligence]: You were working at Red Star Second-Hand Furniture Market today and obtained relevant intelligence—
Inside a second-hand single sofa sold by merchant B25, there is 29,800 yuan of someone's stashed money!
"Someone's 29,800 stashed money!"
Seeing the latest refreshed piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao was instantly excited!
What kind of decent person hides stashed money in a sofa!
Moreover, it was sold to the second-hand furniture market!
"Thank you, God of Wealth, you are my dear grandpa!"
Seeing that the refreshed intelligence was really related to making money, Jiang Tao felt another burst of excitement in his heart.
This was an intelligence worth 29,800!
Moreover, the cost was much lower than the three bottles of wine he won the lottery with today!
Therefore, the cost performance was even higher!
If he could successfully get that "treasure sofa" with stashed money.
The money earned in one day would be almost equivalent to Jiang Tao's hard work for the past three months!
"Sleep, sleep, get enough energy, I must get the sofa tomorrow!"
After being excited, Jiang Tao hurriedly went to bed, got under the covers, and prepared to sleep.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of sofas and red banknotes, and he couldn't sleep at all!
