Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 134 Qin Dahe's Scheming
"It's no use for me to calm down. You should compensate the two families for their losses first." The branch secretary said coldly.

Father Xiang looked at the two men. Old Man Chen spoke first, "Compensate me with ten shrimp cages, and we'll forget about this. Don't even think about a few dozen dollars. If you catch me again, I won't show mercy."

"Yes, I'll send it to your home tomorrow." Father Xiang nodded quickly and looked at Qin Dahe again.

The four brothers here just smoked and looked at the branch secretary.

"Grandpa, my family's losses aren't that big, but you all know my dad's fishing. He always catches 20 or 30 fish. It's hard to say."

"Tell me the rules and regulations. If we can talk, then we can. If not, I will call the town office for you." The branch secretary looked at Qin Dahe in surprise.

This didn't scare people. The kid from the Qin family is really a big shot.

"Let his family give him 1,000 yuan. It's not too little. Give more to the five-guarantee households in the township for the New Year. I don't want it." The township here refers to several nearby villages.

The net that has been stolen for so long, the river shrimps, white eels and the goods from the thief are worth at least a thousand yuan.

But he definitely can't pay out of his own pocket. Isn't that extortion?
"Whether you give me the money or not is up to you in the village. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he took the people away.

Today's goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay any longer.

Whether he takes the thousand dollars or not is not up to him, and he doesn't care.

But if he doesn't take it, the arrogance will not be resolved, and the people in Xu Village will naturally feel inferior to him when they meet him.

When there is a chance to contract the big lake, if people here cause trouble again, the branch secretary will lose all face.

If he takes the thousand yuan, those households receiving the five guarantees will remember his favor, which will also be beneficial for the signing of future contracting contracts.

Looking at Qin Dahe walking away, the branch secretary narrowed his eyes.

I secretly thought to myself, a gangster like Qin Da gave birth to a tiger. With such ability, why doesn't he go out and explore the world?

He saw through Qin Dahe's intention at a glance, and did not associate it with contracting the lake, but this move had already made him invincible.

From then on, people in Xu Village would be polite to him when they saw him, and with his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, it would be easy for him to do anything in the village.

"Fork, learn more." The branch secretary glared at the village director. What a bragging director! If something goes wrong, he, the branch secretary, has to clean up the mess.

If Qin Dahe had his ability, this little thing would have been solved long ago.

On the other side, the four victorious people went back and started preparing dinner. They were happy today and wanted to have another drink.

Qin Dahe went back specially to get two mineral water bottles of rice wine and fished out his father's "old actor".

These "old actors" are the crucian carp in the pond, accompanying their dad to set up stalls and fool people.

Each one weighed about two taels, and he fished them all out.

Erhu and his friends went to buy braised duck, pig ears, and peanuts, and then went to Hanwaer's place to stir-fry two vegetarian dishes. Tonight, the brothers wanted to have a good drink.

When Qin's father learned how his son handled the matter, he suddenly felt old.

Even the powerful branch secretary couldn't control his son, and he even took an extra section of the river for fishing in broad daylight. His methods were very sophisticated.

"Lan'er, our son is very capable. He can make something of himself no matter where he goes."

"Bullshit, we live in a society ruled by law now." Qin's mother said unhappily. She only had one son, so how could she let him go out and make a living in the underworld?

"I'm talking about making a living. Going out and making money is a whole different world, big and small. My son's skills are enough."

"He doesn't want to go out. It's been so long since he came back and you still don't understand."

Father Qin looked at the slogans above the new house: "Even if there is a bright moon in a foreign land, it is not as bright as a lamp in my hometown" and "Don't forget your original intention."

He smiled and said, "Indeed, it's good for our son to stay in the countryside. As long as he can earn money to live, that's enough."

He also didn't want his son to go out, and he and his wife were enjoying their life at home.

During the time their son was back, the two never stopped him from contracting a fish pond, raising cats and dogs, or buying fishing gear, because they just wanted to keep their son.

It's okay to go out and "sit in an office", but forget about doing anything else. I can get married and have children in the countryside so that I can spend some time with my family. Anyway, my son is very capable now.

"Everyone, let's go. It's a great day today, haha."

"Finish the first cup first."

The four of them raised their glasses at the same time and drank the wine in one gulp.

In the main hall of Hanwaer's house, four people sat in different directions. On the table, an alcohol stove was slowly stewing a pot full of crucian carp, and the aroma was everywhere.

The wind outside was whistling, but inside the gate it was bustling with activity.

"You guys are so mean. You went to block people without even calling us." Erhu said angrily.

"At three o'clock in the morning, there are so many people stealing dogs."

"Haha, brother, tell me, tell me, that's right." The silly kid talked a lot today.

Even if he stuttered a little, he would not hide it in front of his brothers.

"You guys are really motivated. It's three o'clock and the temperature is already minus four or five degrees Celsius."

"It's cold. The edge of my pond is frozen."

I took a bite of the crucian carp. The stewed meat was soft and fragrant, and it tasted very good.

Although it is not as delicious as the garlic meat of mandarin fish, it is a fish that has been raised for a period of time and does not have an earthy smell.

The density of his crucian carp pond is low now, and the living environment of the fish is good. The crucian carp from the high-density breeding ponds in later generations are much tastier.

That kind of crucian carp has a strong earthy smell and is often treated with antibiotics and other drugs, so it is simply inedible.

"Dahe, today I know how awesome you are. Secretary Xucun is famous for his cruelty. My father told me that he beat to death many troublemakers thirty years ago. He beat them to death with his very powerful stamped feet (used to describe someone who was very powerful)," Erhu said with a sigh.

Whenever his father had nothing to do, he would tell him stories about that era, including the things Qin Dahe's father did. He had heard about them all.

Qin Dahe's performance today was quite impressive. He actually followed his own path completely.

"I've seen more powerful ones. Just one look from them can make people's legs go weak." Qin Dahe said arrogantly.

"Who is it?"

"You know the veteran armed police, right? The best fighters there are. They're the chief of the police station near our college in Jinling City. He can make any prisoner go limp with just a glare."

This was the most powerful one he had ever seen. Those people who had achieved sanctification in the flesh were really awesome.

At that time, the police station and their school were next to each other in an alley, and the boys had nothing to do so they would climb over the wall to watch other people's training.

As a result, they were all caught. The director seemed to have just returned from handling a major case. He stared at them fiercely with his eyes, and some students were scared to death on the spot.

Later, when they found out that they were students living nearby, they immediately became more friendly and let them go.

Qin Dahe wanted to become a disciple, but after asking around, he found out that the apprentice only recruited students from the police academy, and they couldn't even get into the private college.

"So cool?"

"That's for sure. They're all people who fought their way through mountains of blood and mountains of corpses. But the Party Secretary of Xu Village is no ordinary person either. He kicked Xiao Xiang away with one kick."

Everyone clinked glasses again. The taste of the braised duck was so delicious that they never got tired of it. They just liked the aroma of the braised duck. It tasted even better than braised duck.

"Hold on."

"Yeah, he held back. He could have kicked him to death with all his strength."

"Of course, Xiao Xiang is so thin."

"Dahe, can your father beat the Party Secretary?" Tiedan asked curiously. Everyone in the village knew that Qin Da was a good fighter, but as for how good he was, not many people had seen him, except those in their thirties or forties.

"I can't beat him. Anyway, I know he can't kick anyone up."

"Come on, let's drink more."

"Haha, no one will steal the internet anymore, and I can make more money."

Another round of clinking glasses, everyone became happier the more they drank.

This kind of scene of drinking with (reliable) brothers is men's favorite drinking table. Business banquets are not fun at all.

"Kid, we don't plan to use the nets for the winter. If you want to catch some, come over here. If you don't have enough shrimp cages, I'll give you some tomorrow."

He knew that his son wanted to earn money to marry a wife, and since his family didn't do it in the winter anyway, it would be a waste to just leave it there.

The Yuxi River is connected to the Yangtze River and is rich in resources.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, brother." The kid smiled innocently and nodded.

I have my elder brother taking care of me, so I will have enough money to get married next year.

"Hey, Dan'er, your mother is not in a hurry. Erhu and I are about to get married." Qin Dahe ate a piece of pig ear with chopsticks and looked at Tiedan.

"We have a candidate, in Ligezhuang, who seems to be an adopted daughter or something. The betrothal gift is expensive, but my mother said she's pretty good." Tiedan clinked glasses with Erhu, obviously not very interested in his future wife.

"How to say?"

"My mother said that the girl didn't feel a sense of belonging to the family, so it would be better to marry her and bring her home to live with her."

"That's good. Fourth sister has been having fun for so long and is almost tired of it. It's time to get married and live a good life." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

A widow just wants something new, but it's inevitable that she'll get tired of it after a while.

"Ok, I know."

The two clinked glasses again. Now Qin Dahe was the backbone of the four brothers, and everyone listened to what he said.

By 7:30 in the evening, no one was drunk, and the atmosphere was good.

They helped the kid clean up the house together, as they didn't know what the mess would be like if he were to do it on his own. Then the three of them went out side by side.

It was very windy and cold on the road, so we ended early today.

If you drink until eight or nine o'clock, you won't be able to sleep well when you go back to bed.

"It's really not possible to do it alone. Look at the mess at my kid's house."

"Yeah, if I hadn't cleaned my house, it wouldn't be much better than his." Qin Dahe chuckled.

"Let's go."

Seeing Qin Dahe coming home, Erhu and Tiedan went into the house, said hello to Qin's father and left.

"How much have you drunk? Do you want me to make some water for you to wash your feet?"

"Just a little bit, Mom. I can do it myself."

When he was a child, he would ask his mother to help him wash his feet, but now he can’t do that. He goes to pour water and soak his feet himself.

The four little ones stayed quietly in their nest at the back door. When the weather got cold, they moved their nest back home.

Chaomian wanted to come over, but he pushed him back. Washing feet is not like cooking, and drinking foot washing water is disgusting.

"Son, you did a great job today."

"Hey, of course." Qin Dahe enjoyed the pleasure of hot water on his feet and talked to his mother about the Yangtze River Bridge.

"They don't allow tricycles to go there?"

"Well, a motorcycle tricycle is fine. Next year, when I get some fish, I can just use it to deliver them. At worst, I can just bring a kettle of oil."

"You did this tricycle at the right time." Mother Qin looked at her son with increasing satisfaction.

"It just so happens that my family doesn't use shrimp cages in the winter, so I asked my child to come down here."

"You decide. Your father won't interfere with these little things."

"By the way, Mom, is my dad still watching the scene?"

"Yes, take your stove away. Bigan will be more comfortable sitting outside."

Qin Dahe frowned. How could there be such an unreliable father who still had to look after other people at such an old age?

"Is there enough money at home? We've been earning quite a bit lately, haven't we?"

"That's enough. He wants you to have some extra money after your marriage. He has his own plans. You don't have to worry." Mother Qin waved her hand.

She knew her man's ability and that no one could control him. Besides, he had relatives in town. If she could find a phone number and contact them, she could immediately find the connection.

The relationships in small towns are very close, and everyone is tied together by friendship, so there will be no criminal record.

"Dad, did you know that you need to leave a gap in the window before lighting the stove?" He was a little worried because he forgot to tell him this last night.

"It's not like we haven't had a fever before. Why do you worry about it? Just invite Yanyan home to play. You don't have the nerve to do it anyway." Qin's mother looked at her son with amusement.

"Okay, I need to write something tomorrow, so I'd like to ask her for help."

"what?"

"Write some articles and earn royalties." Qin Dahe said proudly.

"Hey, you still have this ability?"

"You'll know when the time comes. It's very profitable." He curled his lips. This can be regarded as an alternative code for getting rich.

As long as the subject matter you write has that public intellectual flavor, it will definitely be accepted.

However, his writing style may not be literary enough, so he needs Yanyan to help him write some more, and she can also help him write some more.

Thinking about being able to write tomorrow, he felt a little excited. Yanyan has a really good figure, and she has an outward-facing toe.

Even with my back to him, I could still see the two lumps of soft flesh on the edge, hiss!
When I got back to the house, I put away the things I bought from Jiuzi in the morning, especially the discs. I can't use them now. Just looking at the pictures on them is too tempting and I can't sleep at night.

It was still early, so he took out a book on fish farming and began to read it.

It introduces some common freshwater economic fish in great detail, clearly explaining everything from their structure to their living habits, as well as the composition of the food they need to be fed at each stage.

Regarding crucian carp, it is roughly the same as what Wu Ye said. At this stage, it is necessary to feed it a large amount of high-protein bait.

When it grows a little bigger, the proportion of protein will be reduced, and the feed for big crucian carp will change again.

The above also focuses on the preparation of fish ponds, and clearly explains water changes, water injections, and oxygenation.

Oxygenation is required during the high temperatures of the day and at night in summer. If the pond surface is frozen in winter, the ice must be broken, otherwise the dissolved oxygen content will be insufficient.

It is noted that crucian carp are slow to move in winter and require very little dissolved oxygen, so six or seven square meters are enough per acre.

Qin Dahe thought that only the edges of his fish pond were frozen, so he didn't care about it.

He is a reborn person, but not omnipotent. He has a lot to learn when he comes back to settle down in the countryside.

He must have an industry. He doesn't want to open a factory, so it would be fine if he could just build a big lake for himself.
