Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 217 Beating someone up
"Of course not. I should be the one worrying about this. Maybe we will have to share a nest with Sang Biao and the others." Qin Dahe said angrily.

When Sang Biao heard someone talking about it, he raised his head slightly, looked at him, and then lay down again.

"No way." Yanyan was amused. How could a man have a lower status than a cat?

"Hey, now that the baby is born, if we can't take care of it, we can ask Mom to take care of it, or call your mom over and open a bill downstairs."

"Yeah." She was still a little scared. With two babies, she wondered if she would be unable to sleep all night.

As they chatted, Yanyan felt hungry again, so she got up to light the charcoal stove and looked at him eagerly.

"What to eat?"

"Barbecue, lamb."

He walked up and scratched the girl's nose. What a glutton she was.

Then he prepared to go downstairs to get the meat. It was already cut and he just needed to add some water and break it apart with his hands. It would thaw after soaking.

After thinking about it, I took out two frozen steamed buns and sliced them. How could I be full just by eating mutton?

Yanyan followed him expectantly, because the ones she baked herself were not as delicious as those made by her brother.

The two of them worked until eleven o'clock before going to bed. They were so greedy and sleepy that Qin Dahe almost thought he had gone back to twenty years later.

The next morning, everyone came and started fishing again.

I can still fish for three days, and then Tiedan will start preparing for the wedding.

Because I don’t have to pick people up, I save a lot of trouble.

Uncle Chen kept his promise and brought two large boiled chicken legs.

He wanted to feed it himself, but Brother Niu didn't give him face and Erhu had to feed it.

There were a lot of people here this morning. When they arrived, there were five other people besides Uncle Chen.

Including them, there are ten of them. It seems that after two days of crazy fishing, everyone knows that there are fish here.

Qin Dahe didn't care when he saw that the best tricks were robbed.

I found a shallow spot a little distance away and started to set up my fishing spot, but the water flow was a bit severe today.

"Dahe, what should we do?" If the water flow is strong, the smoke column from the nest will dissipate in a short time.

"No problem, fishing as usual, this time with a double lead."

He asked the three of them to make the nest and started to put on the lead.

You can also catch silver carp and bighead carp in moving water, which is a test of your skills and fish conditions.

At this time, Uncle Chen came over, obviously wanting to get closer to them.

"Big river, what should we do if the water flows too fast?" He was also troubled by this.

"Haha, you really asked the right person."

It was a good opportunity to help the old man tie the lead sheets, since it was also a job for him anyway.

I bought the bait from him and sold the fish I caught to him at a low price. If this isn't working, then what is it? I only earn a few dozen dollars a day and can buy a cigarette.

“When the water is moving, you need to determine the bait and then the float. You can’t just focus on fixing the bait.” He is still very willing to share these techniques. Fishermen like to teach others.

"First, add some lead to the bottom of the float, and also add a spring hook. In this case, you need to use a heavy float, at least 15 grams."

The float Qin Dahe brought this time was not very good, so it could only be used to catch one fish.

If the float is past one eye black, just hit it directly. Although it wastes bait, the fish will bite faster.

"Dahe, please lend me a heavy float to use. I will go to the city to buy one later." Uncle Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about how his own equipment was not working.

"It's okay, you can use it first, but there is no re-sale in Jiuzi." He shook his head.

The reeds used for heavy floating in large rivers are even longer and slender, so we have to make them again when we get back.

The main reason is that they seldom fish on the surface. Except for silver carp and bighead carp, other fish are fished at the bottom. When encountering flowing water, it is enough to use a large running lead and a floating tail lead.

After the float was installed, I started to boil water again. This time, because it was quite remote, I was exhausted from carrying things.

The five people next door have already started fishing, but looking at the way they hold their fish, you can tell they are using dull rods and don’t know how to do this.

In his opinion, these techniques are very simple and were shared among anglers after the rise of short videos. Now many people who can read two fishing books are considered very professional players.

Erhu started to test the water depth. They could reach the bottom here, which was more than six meters. The bottom could not be reached even at the place where the fishing spot was flushed out by the sluice gate.

I even used a thermometer to measure it. The water temperature here is even higher, so I fished directly at 1.5 meters. If there is no bite, I fished lower.

Erhu tried to use the line set tied by Qin Dahe, but it could only stay in place for a few minutes before being washed away.

"Dahe, this?"

"That's enough. If it's off track, just pull it up and change the bait." He said indifferently.

Fishing for silver carp and bighead carp requires frequent changes of bait, so it is normal to change the bait every two minutes. They use spring hooks and only change it every five minutes. A normal angler has to use several kilograms of bait a day.

After the boiling water is filled, the fishing officially begins.

This side is not directly facing the sluice gate, so the fish bite is much worse. It took me half an hour to catch any fish.

However, two fish came at once, and Hanwaer and Erhu caught fish at the same time.

This made the five fishermen over there dumbfounded. They had occupied good positions, so why were they still not able to beat this side?

I just pulled it wildly. Because there was a lump of fish every two minutes, the five rods directly created a large area of atomized water, which flowed downstream. It actually attracted the silver carp and bighead carp downstream, and the fish bit more and more fiercely.

"Che, so cool, haha." Erhu's rod tip went into the water again, and it was a huge fish. This was his second one today.

It's already ten o'clock. There are three fishermen next door who are not in the mood to fish, so I just squat behind them and watch.

"Damn it, the big fish are biting your bait." Qin Dahe said depressedly.

Erhu just caught a 40+ silver carp. The sound of it cutting through the water at high speed made everyone jealous. I didn’t expect it to happen again.

"Hey, it's just that I'm lucky."

Erhu is 180 meters tall and weighs kilograms. He controls the -kilogram fish steadily.

Among the four friends, Tiedan is the shortest, only 1.75 meters, while the others are of big build, so catching big fish is no problem at all.

Qin Dahe also caught a fish, but the feel of it was no match. Five minutes later, Hanwaer helped him scoop up the fish, which weighed over ten kilograms.

At this time, a black thing was scratching Tiedan's fishing platform.

"Dahe, throw a silver carp or bighead carp over here?"

"What?" Qin Dahe didn't know what was going on. He turned around and saw that the Yangtze alligator was scratching the fish guard again.

"Oh my god, this is blackmail."

The smallest fish in the fish basket weighed almost three pounds, and all the smaller ones were thrown away.

He looked through it and found a small silver carp, which was cheap.

After all, they are protected animals, so it doesn’t hurt to spend a few dollars to feed them.

When the "ugly guy" saw the big silver carp thrown to him, he stroked his tail twice and swam over quickly to catch it. Human beings are really getting better and better. Today he actually gave me such a big one.

Fish is much more delicious than snails and clams, which it cannot usually eat.

Erhu's big catch was almost coming to an end. It started to surface in about half an hour. Looking at the fish head, you could tell it weighed about 30 to 40 kilograms.

"The bigger the wind and waves, the more fish there are. Haha, I didn't expect to have such a good catch today fishing in the flowing water."

Everyone was in a good mood. They were making money. A big silver carp could earn several hundred yuan.

Scar Uncle called him specifically this morning and asked him to get more silver carp. Now there are three stores in the city that specialize in selling fish heads, and they specifically want this kind of wild big silver carp.

The skin is fine and the taste is fresh and tender. It is delicious whether it is chopped into peppers or stewed in soup.

A 258-jin silver carp can be cut into a -jin fish head (the fish head is cut from the pectoral fin of the body, with meat). If you split it in the middle and sell it in half a piece, you have to sell it for at least yuan per piece to justify the cost of the fish.

The remaining tails of silver carp are made into fish paddles (fan-shaped) and people also like to eat them. The key is that the fish that are not from fish ponds have better meat quality.

The price of silver carp weighing more than 30 kilograms is now 9 yuan per kilogram, and the prices of others remain the same.

Scar even thought about setting up a loach nest with his partner. He would be responsible for finding a place and preparing the nest, while Qin Dahe and the other three would go fishing.

Loach nests are really profitable. If you build your own nest, you can make at least tens of thousands of yuan at one location. The key is that those fish are rare and you can rely on favors.

Scar knows a lot of fishermen, so he was able to negotiate a place and divide the money according to the catch. Different grades of fish have different calculation methods.

Qin Dahe and the others thought about it and agreed. The loach nest was indeed great because they were all predatory fish.

At this time, the fish's bite began to slow down, and everyone had time to smoke after catching fish. Uncle Chen took the initiative to distribute cigarettes and even distributed them to them in the water.

He was lucky enough to catch fish today because the fishing spot was downstream and Qin Dahe and the others' bait floated directly here. The catch was better than yesterday, but the bait was wasted.

He estimated that it would be used up in the afternoon, but he could just exchange the fish for the next purchase. The boy from the Qin family still had to give him the change. He felt very happy when he thought of this.

The price of twenty yuan per pound is really worth it, and there is no fear of losing money at this stage.

The five people were talking and laughing, when suddenly, Brother Niu called out.

Everyone looked back and saw a hairy creature touching their things.

"Hey my God, what the hell are you doing?" Erhu rushed down the fishing platform and pushed him forward.

Qin Dahe and the others followed them down. They actually dared to touch their fishing gear. Fortunately, they brought a dog with them today.

"I just want to see what kind of bait you are using. What? Do you want to hit anyone?" The man who took the things was a thirty-year-old man, and he said it with a nonchalant look on his face.

"What are you holding in your hand?" The other person had a plastic bag with white powder on it, which was probably bait.

"I just took a little bit." After saying that, he picked up the things and wanted to leave.

Could Erhu tolerate him? He went up and started beating him. The other two fishermen tried to stop the fight but were stopped by Hanwaer and Tiedan. Qin Dahe was just smoking on the fishing platform, not in a hurry.

So many people come out every time just for safety reasons. The gate is right at the doorstep, so why are we so scared?

Erhu was tall and strong. He got beaten up and dropped the silver carp and bighead carp bait in his hand.

But he was sensible and didn't hit him in the face. He just hit the chest and back, which were the more resistant parts, a few times before stopping.

Qin Dahe put out his cigarette, then got off the fishing platform and helped the man up. The man's face was filled with fear and indignation.

He smiled and said, "It's okay. My brother doesn't hold back when he hits me."

He pulled the man up with a smile, as if the beating had nothing to do with him.

　My cold hasn’t healed yet, I feel very dizzy, and the key is that I haven’t saved any drafts yet.
