Chapter 35: Feng Shui takes off.
I got a 0-ring spiritual beast, the golden belly black carp, which was really an unexpected surprise for Duke.
Although the price of spirit beasts, especially this 0-level quasi-spirit beast, is not ridiculously expensive, it can still be regarded as a small fortune, which can subsidize the family.
He currently has three sources of income.
One is the fixed card repair income of Little Sam’s card repair shop. After excluding material fees, wages, and card repair technician commissions, the net profit is about 50 Silver Dragons a month.
One is the service fee for purchasing agents. Now the scale has expanded. In addition to Levin, he also hired a big and honest man Harper, who can basically earn 120 silver dragons a month.
The other one is to search for cards at scrap card stations, repair and renovate them and sell them as second-hand cards. With the help of Xiaoyi, you can earn about 80 silver dragons a month.
Add, add, subtract, the total income of two golden dragons a month.
certainly.
After the end of the year, the business tax paid by Old Sam will expire. Then he will have to pay the tax himself, as well as the expenses for the relevant agencies in the town. He will also have to prepare one or two gold dragons a year.
"Let's go home!"
Seeing that it was already getting late, Duke rushed home carrying a bucket.
Returning to the familiar Erzhu Street, an acquaintance immediately greeted me: "Oh, little boss Duke, are you going fishing again?" "
Yes."
"Little boss Duke is really enjoying himself. How was the harvest? Duke
responded with a smile: "Not to mention, I really happened to catch an injured golden-bellied black carp. Boss Abraham came to take a look."
He handed the bucket over.
In addition to a few small miscellaneous fish, there was a golden-bellied black carp with half of its tail knocked off. Now it was no longer bleeding and its breath was very stable. It was obvious that the physique of a spiritual beast allowed it to successfully withstand the gunshot wound.
"Ouch!" Boss Abraham exclaimed, "It's really a golden-belly black carp, you're so lucky... Wow!"
After watching the fish.
Duke then said: "By the way, Boss Abraham, I'm going to order a few more sets of summer work clothes. Can you come back and help our clerk measure the size?"
Abraham, the owner of a nearby tailor shop, immediately laughed after hearing this. : "Okay, I'm fine. I'll go over there when I go back and get the measuring tape." "
See
you later." "Well, you go ahead."
Back at Little Sam Shoka's shop, Aunt Abi had already prepared dinner, except The three card repairmen had already returned home from work, and the other shop assistants were eating in the yard.
Today, Little Sam's Card Repair Shop has a total of nine employees, excluding the card repairman and Duke himself.
Before Duke traveled through time, the soybean oil processing factory he opened only had these few workers.
However, the income of the Little Sam Repair Card Shop from twenty gold dragons a year is equivalent to 200,000 yuan, which is not as good as the income of the processing factory. In the good two years, Duke relied on the soybean oil processing factory to make a living. Earn three to four million a year; in normal years, you can earn a guaranteed three to four million a year.
Not having made money, he wouldn't be willing to become a senior member of the Falcon Shooting Club, so he would practice shooting in his spare time.
"Boss, let me serve you some food." Aunt Abi stood up.
"Don't worry, I'll go work for a while, just leave some for me." Duke waved his hand.
After saying that, he took the bucket and went to the converted warehouse in the backyard.
"Chichi!"
As soon as he entered the bedroom, a plump squirrel jumped over to him. It turned out to be the two-month-old long-haired mongoose cub, Xiao Dou.
Kabuto is very timid, so when Duke doesn't take him out, he hides on the ceiling of his bedroom.
Quietly, basically making no noise.
"Are you hungry, Xiao Dou? There are minced fish pieces in the bucket. Do you want to eat them?" Duke fished out a piece of minced fish meat from the bucket and handed it to Xiao Dou.
Xiao Dou sniffed it, then picked up the broken pieces of fish with his paws and started to nibble on it.
It can now eat meat.
Duke moved the fish tank he just bought - he had planned to raise some small fish when he went fishing - and after filling the fish tank with water, he put the golden-bellied black carp in the bucket.
Neither eaten nor sold.
He chose to raise the golden-bellied black carp first, which is a kind of romance for an old man - after all, his soul is not young anymore, and it is time to like raising fish and planting grass.
The golden-bellied black carp entered the fish tank and felt a little uncomfortable. He leaned in the corner and gasped for air.
There is no oxygen pump.
Duke was a little worried about whether the golden-belly black carp could adapt, but considering that it didn't even burp in the bucket, it showed that as a 0-ring spirit beast, it has a strong ability to survive and adapt.
The fish tank should be able to support it.
"Little Dou, keep an eye on it, it will be your companion from now on." Duke said, and moved a pot of grass on the desk to the side of the fish tank, "Spirit fish paired with spirit grass, this Feng Shui will not take off! "
The grass is the orchid that was shoveled home before.
After doing this and leaving a few fish pieces to Xiao Dou, Duke went to the yard to eat.
Sally at the counter had finished her meal. When she saw Duke coming, she chatted and said, "A few more mercenaries came to the store today to repair cards. Their accents sounded like they were not locals." "
Ask where they came from and why they came. "
I asked, but they didn't tell me. They just said that they came here to explore and find some scarce resources. But I didn't feel like they were explorers. I heard one of them say what kind of house to rent. Come on... Boss, if they come to explore, they will leave in a few days. There is no need to rent a house, they can just stay in a hotel."
Duke nodded.
Deliveryman Dutland followed up and said: "When I went to deliver the goods, I also saw a lot of new faces wandering on the street."
After hearing this, Aunt Abi said worriedly: "Could we really launch a pioneering war? Come on, oh, I don’t know how many people are going to die now!"
"It has nothing to do with us." Apprentice Dieter said nonchalantly.
"How can it be okay?" Sally said, "We are really going to open up a war. Our little Sam's card repair shop will definitely be very busy. How many people will come to repair cards then." After a pause
.
Sally said again: "Boss, I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that Best Card Repair Shop will not be closed down. Although there are few people repairing cards there now, once the Pioneering War is launched, there will be more people repairing cards. , Best Card Repair Shop might come back to life."
"Yes, it's really possible." Deliveryman Steve nodded.
Duke frowned. If the pioneering war started and Best Card Shop took the opportunity to come back to life, it would definitely be an unpleasant thing for him.
Best's betrayal almost led to the pornography of Little Sam's card repair shop.
Nowadays, the popularity of Best's card repair shop is extremely bleak, but Best is a card repairer after all. He has accumulated a family business over the years and can still survive.
He must have heard the news about the pioneering war and wanted to persist.
"You don't have to worry about this. Regardless of whether the Pioneering War will start or not, Best Card Repair Shop will have to close down sooner or later." Duke reassured everyone, "Besides, even if Best Card Repair Shop survives the Pioneering War, so what. There is no card repair shop on Second Street that can compete with our little Sam card repair shop!" "
This is it, this is it!" Dutland nodded.
Others nodded, believing this.
After everyone had finished dinner and Aunt Abby had washed the dishes, Sally closed the shop door and left.
Duke was the only one left in the huge Little Sam Card Repair Shop. He did not go back to the bedroom to practice the "Universal Blood Refining Method" or read books to expand the database as usual.
