Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 195 Giant Green
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. An hour had passed and the situation on the field was still deadlocked.

Uncle Six stood by with an umbrella, ready to take action at any time, while Father Qin was already soaked.

It wasn't cold at all, his blood was boiling and he stared at the water.

Suddenly, there was a huge splash of water, and a tail like a big fan could be seen emerging faintly, and then it dived down.

"Quick, help me."

Uncle Six immediately stepped forward to help press the rod down and was about to turn it horizontally again.

Dabao, who was fishing next to them, looked at the two of them with envy in his eyes.

Even if I just caught a ten-pound grass carp, it would still be tasteless. With such a big tail, it must weigh more than sixty pounds.

Another half an hour passed and I finally saw the fish head.

"Damn it! It takes two hours to see the fish's body."

"Damn it, Qin is awesome, haha."

"Prepare the scoop net." The old man said with high spirits.

If you can see the fish's body, the big fish is basically stable.

What I brought today is a giant scoop net, which my son specially welded for fishing silver carp and bighead carp last year. It is just the right size for catching fish.

Uncle Liu had lost his umbrella at this time, so this one fish would be enough to keep him entertained for a while.

ten minutes later.

"I'm going to loosen the string, hurry up."

"Okay." Uncle Six stared closely.

If they caught such a big fish, they might never be able to talk to each other again in their lives.

Finally, the fish was scooped up.

"Oh my god, this fish is almost taller than me, right?" Uncle Liu said exaggeratedly.

Dabao over there couldn't sit still anymore, so he left his fishing rod behind and came over. The scoop net was at least one meter and two meters deep, and there was still a big tail left outside.

"Just lie down and take a look."

"it is good."

The black herring was twisting gently on the ground, and its scales were surprisingly dark.

Uncle Six didn't mind the dirtiness and just lay down next to them, side by side, and they were the same height.

The fish swung and hit him, but Uncle Six laughed out loud, feeling very proud.

"Sixth brother, with the tail he is as tall as you, probably about 1.65 meters." Qin's father said excitedly.

This fish is really big, bigger than the three people present could have imagined.

"Go to the guard first, don't kill yourself."

The three of them worked hard to move the fish into the fish basket. They couldn't calculate the exact weight of the fish, but it was definitely over a hundred kilograms.

"That's it. This fish is enough for today, hey!" The old man happily led his men to pack up.

A little water was first poured into the transfer box and sent up. After the fishing gear was packed up, everyone started carrying the fish up.

The rest of the grass carps were given to Uncle Six. The old man didn't care about these little things at the moment.

According to Scar, the price of the fish stone for such a big king herring is higher than the fish meat itself.

He first went to Limin Supermarket. He even took the fish down and let others go, and then he bought a pack of Hongshuangxi cigarettes to give away.

It was raining heavily at the moment, and the two supermarkets were full of gamblers. When they heard that Qin's father had caught a giant herring, they all gathered around.

"That's really awesome! Last year I caught a big bluefish, and this year I caught the king bluefish."

"Exactly. I thought Taiga was awesome, but I didn't expect the father to be even more awesome than his son."

"This fish is probably worth several thousand yuan. It's really a good deal."

Everyone was envious when they knew that Qin Dahe had caught one or two thousand kilograms of grass carp during this period, and they were even more jealous when they saw the black carp.

The old man was so happy with so many people praising him that he took another pack of cigarettes after finishing the first one.

He doesn't care that his clothes are soaked, he just catches a cold, such a good opportunity to show off is rare.

The three of them saw today's fishing situation with saliva flying. Knowing that they also caught hundreds of kilograms of grass carp, they wanted to ask them where the fishing spot was.

But when it came to this, everyone fell silent.

If you keep the fish well at this fishing spot, you can really make money. If Qin Dahe doesn't fish for them, how can he give it to others easily?

"Dabao, the water will be released upstream tomorrow, so you will definitely not be able to fish. You should keep the nest stocked." While waiting for people to go back to play cards, he pulled Dabao aside and whispered to him.

"Okay, no fishing in the big river, right?"

"He'll go fishing for silver carp and bighead carp in the summer. We can just keep the fish ourselves now."

"Okay." Dabao nodded, it was indeed possible.

He and his sixth uncle didn't have much land to work on at home, and in the summer they had to catch eels as a side job. Now that they had a great fishing spot, they were naturally willing to help maintain it.

Seeing that it was already five o'clock, he didn't delay and took the fish back proudly.

"Lan'er, Erza, come here." As the car entered the yard, he immediately shouted.

People from the front and back rooms came over. Seeing Qin's father soaked all over, my mother hurried back to get towels and clothes.

"He's already old, and he's still acting like this."

"Haha, go take a look behind the car." The old man walked into the front room with a towel in his hand in a proud manner.

I heard the exclamations from the backyard and felt refreshed again.

"Ce, such a big fish." Qin Dahe was so envious that his face turned purple.

I have never caught such a big fish in my two lives. I can't afford a hundred-jin king grass carp in a black pit. One of them costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"You old man are really amazing." The old lady curiously reached in and touched it, not caring that the fish splashed in the water and got her clothes wet.

When Yanyan heard the news, she hurriedly got into the car and was surprised to see the big bluefish.

"Dad is amazing." Turning around and seeing his brother's envious look, he spoke again: "Brother is amazing too."

"Haha, they are all amazing." The old lady said casually.

"Dahe, how much can this be sold for?"

"I can't say for sure. Let's weigh it first."

Although it was raining heavily, the family was still very excited. Qin Dahe brought over the scale and then placed a huge transfer box.

I bought this transfer box a few days ago because it is often too small to hold the fish. It is two meters long.

"Mom, give me a hand."

"it is good."

Needless to say, Mother Qin was very strong. She could barely lift the fish by herself.

The two of them easily put the fish into the transfer box.

The weight shown above is 145 kilograms, which is 133 kilograms after deducting the -kilogram transfer box.

"Cena, one hundred and thirty-three pounds."

The old man hurriedly changed his clothes and ran over. He was even more ecstatic when he found out the weight.

Weighing over 100 kilograms, he must be the most awesome one among the people in the surrounding villages.

He continued to pour the fish into the fish basket with my mother, and he went back to the house to wash himself.

I just caught a fish and it's all wet and dirty.

Yanyan finally had a chance to watch something lively, and she was reluctant to leave the main room, looking at the fish in the small pond.

After packing his clothes, Qin Dahe called Scar Ye.

The fish caught during this period were mainly grass carp, and the remaining mandarin fish and black carp were also sent to Scar Master.

"Hello, Scar, it's me." "Dahe, did you get some good stuff again?" Scar asked excitedly.

Normally, I don’t call for small things, I just send them directly. I called today specifically, so I guess there must be something good.

"There's a giant fish, the King Herring. What's the price now?"

"King Herring? How much?"

"133 kilograms of goods."

"Ce." Scar was shocked. What kind of luck was this? He could even catch the king black carp while fishing for grass carp.

"What's the price? If the price is good, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

"It's really hard to make a bid. The fish stone of this fish is more valuable than the fish itself. I have to go to the antique street." Scar said with a frown.

"How about this, Scar, can you help me contact the buyer and I'll give you 10% of the price, no matter how much it costs?"

"Okay, you're good at doing things."

Scar on the other end of the phone praised sincerely, saying that this achievement allowed him to sell at a high price.

"It's confirmed to be 133 pounds, right?"

"Well, I've weighed it, and the error won't exceed one kilogram." Qin Dahe said seriously. He and his mother had confirmed it repeatedly.

"I'll go ask and call you later."

While having dinner in the evening, Qin's father was still boasting about his fishing trip during the day.

I took out a bottle of wine, which was rare for me, and Qin Dahe also drank a few sips with me.

"Dad, can one person control the fish when it's caught?" he asked curiously.

I have never caught such a big fish in my two lifetimes. I am so envious.

Twenty years later, this fish will be talked about around the village, such as how so-and-so caught a grass carp weighing over 100 kilograms and how much it was sold for.

"If it's flat ground with some footrests, it should be controllable." The old man took a sip of wine comfortably.

"But you know that place, it's a sloping beach. Your sixth uncle had to help me get through the rain for two hours. I gave him all my grass carp."

"It's time to send it off. It's raining so heavily today." Qin Dahe smiled and ate a piece of meat.

Dad went fishing in the heavy rain, and Mom was in a good mood, so she cooked pickled vegetables and braised pork for them.

Although braised pork with pickled vegetables is not as fragrant as braised pork in red sauce, it is not greasy and has a special flavor of pickled vegetables, which is very delicious.

Yanyan ate three pieces of food in a row before she started eating, and my mother kept picking up food for her.

"You don't know, this wild herring is very strong. From the moment I caught it, it took me two hours to catch it."

"It took me over an hour to see the fish, luckily I brought a thick line today."

The old man kept chattering about his legendary deeds today, and the three of them did not interrupt him. It was awesome to catch a fish.

When Qin's father went in to rest, my mother went to Qin Dahe to ask how much the fish could be sold for.

At this time, Yanyan was feeding the dog, and Qin Dahe was standing beside her with a cigarette in his mouth, watching the water in the fish tank explode from time to time.

Putting the fish in a small pond is reassuring. Even if the fish run away, there is no need to worry. It is your own pond, so you can just drain it.

"Let's wait for news from Scar." Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang.

"Scar, how's it going?"

"There is an antique dealer who wants to buy it. After all, a black carp weighing more than 100 kilograms is quite rare." Scar said with a smile.

"How much is he willing to pay?"

"According to this year's market price, a 130-jin blackfish will definitely cost 7500 to yuan. I negotiated your -jin one down to yuan." Without waiting for Qin Dahe to speak, he continued:
"This is the price of the herring stone. I'll take 10% from you, and you can sell the rest of the herring meat to me. Fourteen yuan a pound is okay?" Without the herring stone, the fish meat would not be that valuable.

"can."

After all the work, it’s already eight or nine thousand. This fish is almost worth ten thousand.

He remembered that in later generations, there were some fishermen who specialized in producing show effects. They had their own black pits and would charge 50,000 or 60,000 yuan for this kind of giant bluefish. The price now is definitely not comparable.

There is no black pit market nowadays. The Internet has not yet emerged, and there are not so many people who are sucked up to buy the big green at a high price.

"I'll drive over tomorrow, and they'll cover the travel expenses, haha."

"Okay, thanks, Scar." It's good not to have to deliver the goods in the rain.

I looked at him anxiously and asked him as soon as he hung up the phone.

"The blackfish stone sells for 7500, Scar takes %, and the fish meat is yuan per pound, so about to yuan."

As soon as I said this, my heart trembled. It was so much money.

She patted her heart and hurried back to find the old man to share the price of the fish.

Qin's father in the room was also surprised to know that the fish could be sold for so much money. Today's fish is equivalent to a year's hard work in his family's fields.

At seven o'clock, Qin's father came over and asked him to put out the shrimp cage.

It's raining heavily and river shrimps are rampant, which is a good time to make money.

"Aren't we releasing water tomorrow? What if the net gets washed away?"

"Don't worry, I've asked. It starts at 8am tomorrow. There's no rush."

The father and son began to change into leather pants and raincoats. It was very troublesome to go fishing in such heavy rain, but they had to work in the rain in order to make money.

I guess Silly Kid would let it go too. He knew that Qin's mother was already helping him find a partner and he was very focused on making money.

When we got to the county road, we could see a sturdy figure busy at the water pumping station.

Qin Dahe shone the flashlight twice, and the silly kid saw it and shone back.

You can't speak loudly at this time, in case someone gets jealous and steals the net.

The old man's giant bluefin tuna has become a big hit today. The four brothers have also been fishing in a high-profile manner recently, and they always bring home hundreds of kilograms of fish.

Naturally, they had to keep a low profile at this time, and both sides were working hard.

It was a real pain today putting out the shrimp cages. The heavy rain continued to fall, and the water flowed down my cheeks and into my collar, and soon I was soaked.

They also have to keep throwing nets, inserting stakes, and watching their feet when walking.

The heavy rain seemed to pour down from the sky, hitting the water surface and forming big bubbles, which were then extinguished.

After they finished casting the net, they took off the hoods of their raincoats, as they felt uncomfortable wearing them.

"Let's go, hurry up, my throat is itchy." Qin's father had a premonition that he was going to have a fever.

Qin Dahe knew what was going on as soon as he heard it and hurried back.

My mother had already prepared ginger soup, and the father and son drank it as soon as they came back.

As soon as the ginger soup entered my stomach, it felt like burning fire, my whole body shook, and the cold air was forced out, making me feel much more comfortable.

Then I quickly went to take a shower. The big pot was full of hot water. I added some water and started to wash my body.

When he returned to the attic, Yanyan had already warmed up the quilt.

"Come up quickly, you must be cold." The little girl threw herself on him with concern and used her body to warm him.

"Fortunately, it's not cold now." Qin Dahe felt warm in his heart.

Although it rained heavily today, the temperature was still above 20 degrees, which was not too cold.

It’s indeed uncomfortable to be caught in the rain, but now I feel much more comfortable in bed.

"From now on, we won't use the nets when it rains heavily."

"That won't do. Every heavy rain is an opportunity to make a lot of money." Qin Dahe scratched the little girl's nose.

Only when you don’t run a household do you know how expensive food, oil, salt and firewood are. The motorcycle, tricycle and refrigerator in my home were all bought with the money I earned from these things.

The tuition for his schooling was also earned by Qin's father by releasing shrimp cages during heavy rains. It was not enough to rely on farming alone.

The thirty shrimp cages I ordered today can earn at least three or four hundred yuan, and that’s because the price of river shrimp has dropped.
