By April, the minimum commission had dropped to 3 yuan 5, and the price of this order could only pay off the property fee of one square meter of his house in the urban area.

"My girlfriend advised me to look for another job and not just hope for food delivery. She said, I don't expect me to really earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, but at least I can be decent and my income can be stable. It sounded reasonable, but I was hesitant and never willing to give up. For this reason, we had a cold war for two days, and the atmosphere in the whole house was even more depressing. ”

Bai Lin sighed, Li Lan listened silently, and said: "You are a bit like a gambler, and you have a bit of Stockholm syndrome, you have been abused out of your feelings, and you don't want to get out of it if you are so bitter." ”

Bai Lin smiled bitterly and continued to tell his takeaway story.

In order not to lose his job in front of his girlfriend, Bai Lin thought that he had to increase his income as soon as possible, and the most effective way he could think of was to go to rainy days and supper.

After May, it is the rainy season, and Suzaku is wet everywhere.

In extreme weather such as rain and snow, the platform will have a lot of subsidies, and most part-time riders are unwilling to work, and on the other hand, the number of people ordering takeout in bad weather will also increase, so the list is not only large, but also large.

Originally, for safety reasons, his girlfriend and Bai Lin agreed not to go out to deliver food during heavy rain, so as not to worry her. But now that his income is meager, relying on the little money on a sunny day will never be able to realize his dream of earning more than 10,000 yuan a month, and he can't take care of anything agreed.

Bai Lin relieved her: "Rainy days are not so terrible, many people in the group are specially picking rainy days to run!"

This is not a lie, there are some veterans in the group who specialize in running rainy days and suppers, and their daily income is almost double that of him.

Just do it, Bai Lin bought a jacket and a mobile phone waterproof protective cover on the Internet, and after being fully equipped, he finally waited for a heavy rain.

The first time I took an order in the rain, he was really excited, and when I opened the APP, the phone was a little stuck, and then the list sprung up from the screen like mushrooms after the rain. Bai Lin riveted enough strength to pull down with his fingers, and those orders quickly slid up like garbled characters on the blue screen of the computer, and when the screen stopped, it was not yet finished.

At that moment, he felt that it was not difficult to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

Bai Lin took 3 orders in one go, each order is around 8 yuan, the price is almost double than usual, not only on rainy days, but also the unit price is high, and every order does not need to wait, take it and leave when you get to the merchant.

Later, he realized that because there were few riders who took orders on rainy days, many orders were made by merchants long after the customers placed orders.

Bai Lin completed 7 orders in 1 hour, with a total income of nearly 60 yuan, which is almost half of his usual noon income, and the efficiency is frighteningly high.

Bai Lin didn't even eat, the order was the best meal, he worked hard until 4 o'clock in the evening when the battery ran out of power, a rough calculation, this day ran more than 200 yuan.

Of course, delivering food on a rainy day is several times harder than on a sunny day.

First of all, the jacket is impermeable, in the sweltering May, you can cover your sweat after a while, and when you ride a bike, the cold wind pours into your clothes from the cuffs and neck, freezing the whole body cold, hot and cold, and it is really torturous.

Then there is the ground is slippery, some of the tiled places are stained with rain, it is no different from the ice surface, the faucet is a little biased is a big heel, Bai Lin fell twice in the morning, people are not in big trouble, but there is a spicy hot spilled a lot, when it was sent to the guests, he apologized repeatedly, bent his waist into ninety degrees, the other party saw him in the rain, and also expressed his understanding, did not pursue it, so that Bai Lin was very moved.

Bai Lin finished the first rainy day of his rider career, and when he returned home and took off his clothes, the shirt inside was already soaked, Rao was so, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and proudly took a screenshot of the order completed that day, posted it in the group, and also sent it to his girlfriend.

The girlfriend quickly replied with a surprised expression, saying that she was going out to celebrate in the evening, and after a period of silence in the group, someone also replied: "Brother, the weather for picking up money is only so much, it's not good." ”

Bai Lin saw that on the screenshot he sent, 40 orders had been completed, and almost every order was more than 10 yuan.

This picture is far colder than the rain, pouring Bai Lin a deep cold, in fact, in a large group of hundreds or thousands of people, there will always be people who will pour cold water on the faces of the people who are drying the fruits, there are groups outside the group, and there are people outside the group.

Bai Lin didn't understand one thing, as a person who was like a single-celled creature in real life, he would only find the reason in himself, and he thought in his heart that if he wanted to make a qualitative leap in income, he might have to add a set of batteries to the electric car.

So he immediately checked on the Internet, and in a battery car store closest to him, a minimum of 800 yuan for a set of batteries was required, which was not cost-effective.

Bai Lin tried to run two more nights of supper, the unit price was high, and he did earn more than during the day, but the unit amount was worse than that on a rainy day.

But his girlfriend was even more worried about him going out of the car at night, and he couldn't fall asleep until I came back in the middle of the night, Bai Lin thought that it was too cost-effective to sleep with two people, so he gave up.

After starting to run on rainy days, Bai Lin's income did go up a level, about 5,000 per month, but it was still far from "monthly income of more than 10,000", but his girlfriend felt that this income was already good, and the atmosphere at home eased a lot.

This made Bai Lin breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still entangled in the matter of adding batteries in his heart - even in the rainy season in Jiangnan, sunny days still accounted for the majority, whenever he made up his mind to add batteries, looking at the pitiful amount of sunny days, he couldn't raise the courage in his heart.

In addition to the battery matter, what bothers Bai Lin every day is the chaos in the industry that he has witnessed.

Suzaku is taking off, and the name is also very important, one of the key points is to create a civilized city, so the city's appearance and traffic control is extremely strict, and some intersections in the city will set up cards from time to time to intercept illegal electric vehicles, such as wrong-way driving, carrying people, taking motor lanes, etc., and catch a fine of 20.

For riders, if only a fine is paid - this ticket is not paid on the spot, in order to prevent law enforcement officers from bending the law for personal gain, the fine will not be handled by them, but after being fined, they need to take time to go to the bank; because the delay caused by being stopped often leads to customer complaints - not only the bill money will be deducted, but an additional 10 yuan may be deducted, and there may even be a bad review.

Once a bad review is received, it will affect the rider's evaluation this week - the platform has a "crowdsourcing" evaluation mechanism, according to the praise rate and the number of orders, the "gold, silver and bronze" 3 levels of riders are selected every week, and the riders of the gold and silver levels will have rewards ranging from 200 to 100 yuan, while the bronze level does not, and this level also determines the number of orders that the rider can take at one time next week - for skilled riders, this is the key to efficiency.

Moreover, if the negative reviews accumulate to a certain amount, they will also be restricted from receiving orders.

Therefore, in order to avoid being caught, the peers in the group have formed a tacit understanding in private, and anyone who is accidentally arrested will quickly remind them in the group: "There are people checking the car at the red street lights on XX Road and XX Road, brother, pay attention to it, Lao Tzu has been ticketed, it's really unlucky!"

In this way, riders will be much more disciplined when passing through those intersections, but as soon as they get out of the sight of the traffic police, they will go their own way - traffic lights can be run, and it is not uncommon to rush faster than cars.

Bai Lin once saw someone in a hurry, too late to wait for the red light, drove on the motorway of the viaduct, or went in the wrong direction, it was simply a dozen yuan in Bo, and the traffic rules were indeed useless in the line of delivery people.

Bai Lin has always been responsible for riding a bicycle because he witnessed a tragic car accident when he was a child, but the consequence of obeying traffic rules too much is often delaying the delivery time, so sometimes he will take risks and run a red light or something.

In addition to these tightrope walks, "plug-ins" are still the main force that undermines equality.

The previous colleague didn't tell him the truth - long after he joined the group, he confessed in a casual chat that he had been using cheats all along.

Bai Lin felt cold in his heart, and wanted to ask him why he didn't tell him about it at the beginning, but he still held back.

After Bai Lin calmed down, he guessed that he was probably afraid that the newcomers who had just joined the group at that time would report to the platform and cause trouble for themselves.

Bai Lin is such a person who cares too much about other people's opinions.

Peers said that the plug-in is indeed not as easy to use as it was when it first came out, but it is still much more efficient than manual order grabbing.

"Tsk, it's a pity that the investigation is strict now, it's very troublesome, and you will be banned at every turn."

Bai Lin was puzzled: Isn't there nothing if he is banned?

"Hehe, you change your number and keep running. ”

It turns out that many people who use plug-ins have long been ready to be banned, and once they are blocked, they will immediately borrow their ID cards from relatives and friends to re-register, and face recognition will also ask them to help review it.

This kind of cat-and-mouse game was something that Bai Lin never expected before he entered the industry.

After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to open the plug-in.

After the ambush, the Suzaku located in the subtropical climate of the Central Plains can reach 40 degrees at noon, and you can receive a high temperature warning from the Meteorological Bureau on your mobile phone every three or five days.

The unit price has skyrocketed with the temperature, and the "errand fee" within 2 kilometers has doubled from 3 yuan 5 to 7 yuan, and the list is too much to grab, after all, on such a hot day, people who are a little more generous are reluctant to come out to eat this mouthful of food.

Delivering food in such high temperatures quickly gets soaked with sweat, then steamed and dried, then wet and dried, and so on.
