Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

When Jiang Xia returned to her office, the cars she had seen earlier were already parked at the entrance.

Jiang Xiaobo had already returned and was greeting them from the side.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xia quickly went to greet him.

These cars were all together; except for one person who came alone, the others were all with their families.

In Jiang Xia's memory, many anglers in later generations went out alone. He felt that the fact that families were going out together now was probably due to the times, or maybe he just happened to choose a Saturday.

However, no matter how many people come, I charge per fishing spot, regardless of the number of people.

When Jiang Xia arrived, Jiang Xiaobo had already explained the fishing fee to the group. They had all sent their contact information to QQ Space and were just waiting for Jiang Xia to add them on QQ and confirm receipt of payment.

It didn't take long for Jiang Xia to determine the spatial likes of the group.

Without any hesitation, the group pulled out hundred-yuan bills. Jiang Xia looked at them with a headache, as he didn't have enough change.

Coincidentally, Wang Guifen arrived just then on her electric scooter.

She stopped her electric scooter and found Jiang Xia, saying:

"Xiaxia, your dad sent me to bring you money."

Seeing this, Jiang Xia quickly took the wallet from his mother, thinking to himself, "My mother is truly a lifesaver!"

After giving the group their change, Jiang Xia asked Jiang Xiaobo to take them to arrange fishing spots.

As soon as the group left, Wang Guifen looked at her son with curiosity: "Xiaxia, how much money did you get?"

Jiang Xia did the math in her head: Li Hao was paid, Li Dafu didn't take any money, so the group had just paid for four people. All of these people had shared their information online, and each paid 60 yuan.

In this way, shortly after opening, they had already earned 300 yuan after deducting the change.

Hearing that they had already made 300 silver dollars in such a short time since opening, Wang Guifen was a little excited.

She looked at Jiang Xia excitedly: "Son, is it real? Take out the money so I can see!"

Jiang Xia was speechless. Wang Guifen was right next to her when she received the money; she had seen it.

But since his mother had spoken, Jiang Xia didn't dare disobey. He took out all five hundred-yuan bills he had received that day from his pocket and handed them to Wang Guifen, saying, "See? You see that now!"

Wang Guifen took the money, looked at the bright red hundred-yuan bill, and happily said, "Son, you're amazing!"

The reason she was so happy was simply because she had a decision in mind.

That means that even if no one else comes after you, you'll still have a high income in this era, even if you collect all that money.

After all, in an era where the average income is less than 3000 yuan, earning 300 yuan a day, even after deducting costs, is better than going out to work.

Not to mention, although Jiang Xia didn't say it, she was always worried about her son's future after resigning and returning home.

In other words, she would agree to let Jiang Xia, who has been obedient since childhood, open a fishing pond. But if it were Jiang Jianguo, she would never agree to let him mess around like that!

After a while, Jiang Xiaobo returned after arranging things for the guests.

Jiang Xia looked at the five or six cars parked in the open space and felt a headache coming on. This was only the beginning, and it seemed that he and his few people couldn't handle it all.

He glanced at the road leading to the reservoir and saw that there were no cars around, so he quickly handed Jiang Xiaobo 200 yuan and instructed him:

"Xiao Bo, take the money and go to your uncle's house in the village to buy two big watermelons and 30 ice creams."

"Oh, and I'll also buy five or six thermos flasks and a case of bottled water."

After speaking with Jiang Xiaobo, he looked at Wang Guifen:

"Mom, bring the kettle from home and boil water here later. With so many people coming, we definitely need to provide hot water for them. I asked Xiaobo to buy a thermos for storing water. I'm worried that with so many people, we'll have to boil more."

Jiang Xiaobo, standing nearby, asked with some confusion, "Brother, didn't you tell me to buy a case of bottled water? Are we still going to buy it?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Buy it. The bottled water is for those who want to drink it. We'll charge them the original price. If there are many people drinking it, we can go to the city and buy some drinks wholesale another day."

"I almost forgot, you also need to buy some disposable paper cups, don't forget to buy those too."

"Okay," Jiang Xiaobo replied. He was about to leave on the electric scooter that Wang Guifen had brought when he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, bro, it seems like we're a bit overwhelmed with just a few of us?"

Jiang Xia looked up: "You noticed too?"

Jiang Xiaobo nodded: "Brother? How about I call my girlfriend over to help? She lives in town, she can get here in no time by electric scooter."

After saying that, he added, "Brother, don't overthink it. I brought her here purely to help out; she doesn't want any salary!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xia shook his head: "That won't work."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaobo's face fell upon hearing this. It wasn't that he disliked Jiang Xia, but rather that he couldn't work with his girlfriend anymore.

But then he heard Jiang Xia jokingly say:

"What do you mean? I didn't mean we can't let her come, but she can't come without getting paid!"

"The salary should be whatever it is. Call her and have her come over; she's really too busy!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobo immediately smiled and said, "Okay, brother, I'll call him right away."

After saying that, he took out his phone and rode away on his electric bike with one hand.

As soon as he left, Jiang Xia saw another car driving by on the road.

While delighted, Jiang Xia was also a little worried, as he was genuinely overwhelmed with work.

After paying for the car, Jiang Xia was about to lead the other person to the fishing spot when another car arrived.

He quickly told Wang Guifen not to go home to get the water bottle yet, but to lead the other anglers to their fishing spots so he could entertain the newcomers.

But as soon as he finished entertaining the new fishing friends, another car drove up in his direction.

Well, this time I'm really too busy to handle it all.

He quickly looked down at his phone; it was exactly 10:20 a.m.

He immediately realized that the peak season had arrived. Generally, when people go out to play, except for a few who leave very early, most people arrive at their destination around 10 a.m., which is neither too early nor too late to enjoy themselves.

When new guests arrive, Jiang Xia can only ask them to sit in the office and wait until he has arranged a fishing spot with the guests who have just paid.

Actually, once the fishing grounds are operational, tourists can find their own fishing spots.

But we've just opened, and all the visitors are first-timers. If we don't make proper arrangements, I'm afraid they won't know where to start.

Moreover, most of the anglers here have never been to a fishing spot before.

It seems the peak season has arrived. As soon as Jiangxia returned, she saw several new tourists at the office door.

He quickly went into his office to greet them and politely asked them to line up in order of arrival, otherwise it would be too chaotic.

Just then, Jiang Jianguo, the father, drove his van to the fishing spot.

He was carrying a large bag containing ten-yuan bills that he had just taken out.

He was shocked when he arrived and saw that the office was almost packed with people.

Even though his son had told him that this thing was good, he never expected his family's fishing spot to become so popular.

But he couldn't be surprised now. Seeing this scene, he quickly ran into the office to help his son.
