Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 218 "Ugly Bitch"
"Our bait is now sold at 20 yuan per pound. If you are interested, just buy it. We will give you the spring hook and line for free, but you can't take it yourself." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

"It's so expensive." The beaten man used the words to bargain, as if he had not been beaten just now.

The incident itself was because he was not clean and had no way to seek justice after being beaten. He really wanted to get back at them, but looking at the four strong men present, he felt unsure at all.

"In June, it will be ten yuan per pound. You can wait."

After saying that, he gathered his things and everyone went forward to continue fishing, not taking the matter to heart.

The brothers have been together for a long time, and fighting is very common. No one takes it seriously. This Diaomao guy is obviously a coward.

But it was also because Brother Niu was watching over the house from behind, otherwise someone would have to be left on the shore at this moment.

Uncle Chen watched the actions of the few people without saying anything. It was normal to be beaten for stealing things. He even spent twenty yuan to buy the bait.

The other party did not dwell on being beaten, but instead came over to Uncle Chen to see what he had gained.

"Grandpa, did you also buy the bait for twenty yuan a pound?"

"Yeah." Uncle Chen nodded, not wanting to pay attention.

He casually looked through the old man's fish basket, but there were three big fish and several small ones in it, one of which weighed more than 30 kilograms, so he didn't say much.

If it were the Air Force, it would be embarrassing to be overturned by the fish guard.

These three fishermen were not in the same group. The other two whispered to each other for a few words and then left.

Twenty yuan per pound is still beyond many people's imagination. At the end of the day, a hundred yuan is just thrown into the water.

They fished until half past eleven. Qin Dahe started cooking while the other three continued fishing.

Because the fish were biting slower, the harvest was average, and I only caught two ten-jin silver carp.

However, the brief bit of fishing in the morning still made them excited. They caught a little in the afternoon and earned a lot of money today.

The man next to him was licking his face with envy when he saw that Uncle Chen had caught another fish.

But I had to eat now, so I had to leave reluctantly.

At this time, Qin Dahe's phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hello, I'm Xu Jianguo from Secretary Xu's family in Xinba. I have a large tricycle that needs to be modified. Can I come to your house this afternoon?"

"Let's talk about it first. I'll give you a price based on the size. We can talk about it if you think it's suitable. I'll definitely give you a discount for Mr. Xu's sake." He said with a smile.

There is no doubt that this car is prepared to harvest cotton in the second half of the year, and the factory in Xinba will open in the second half of the year.

The other party described the situation of his car. It was the same size as his, but half a meter wider on both sides and seventy centimeters longer, and the front of the car also needed to be replaced.

"The price is between four thousand and four thousand five hundred. The exact price depends on the blueprint of the car. This price is not profitable. What do you think?"

He stopped what he was doing, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. Erhu saw that he was busy taking orders, so he came down and took over the job.

At this moment, he didn't think much of such a small labor fee, but the secretary's family had to give him some face and offered a lower price.

The prices of iron and welding rods have increased this year, and combined with the sale of scrap iron, I estimate that I can make a maximum of 1,200 or 1,000 yuan from this order.

The other party pondered for a moment. Qin Dahe was also a shareholder of the flower-making factory and should not cheat him.

He also heard that the craftsmanship was very good. He had seen the modified bikes and found them to be very solid and coordinated, and very stable both going up and down hills.

Qin Dahe naturally has his own unique qualities. Not to mention his craftsmanship, the drawings he provides are beyond the reach of even rural welders. Those who can draw would have already gone to work in big factories.

"Okay, are you busy now?"

"Yeah, I'm fishing," he explained with a smile. "The fish are good today, so I can't bear to leave. Please forgive me."

"Haha, everyone knows your family makes money from fishing, so I understand."

"Then I'll go over there tonight."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Tiedan and Erhu immediately surrounded him.

"Got another order?"

"Well, it's a large three-wheeled vehicle modification business. Let's talk about it tonight." He said indifferently.

Even if he received an order, he would give it to Tiedan. He only needed to provide a drawing and a design plan.

"What about fishing?" Erhu said with a bitter face.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it tonight. If this order isn't urgent, you two can go back home and work overtime every night and continue fishing during the day."

It’s just a little bit hard, it’s not him who’s working hard anyway, hey.

"You're not going to do it?"

"I don't like trivial things." He said in a scornful tone and started to drain the water.

The water gushed out, and the cigarette was still in my mouth, it felt so comfortable.

Erhu curled his lips. His former friends have come to their senses. There are so many ways to make money now that they don’t even care about the money from welding.

After eating and drinking, everyone chatted and boasted together. Uncle Chen had a good appetite for fish today, so he happily joined in the meal.

"Grandpa, doesn't my wife tell me about fishing every day?" He picked his teeth and thought it was really nice to eat meat every day.

"Fortunately, my wife has been rehired by the school, so she will have to take care of me for at least the summer vacation." The old man chuckled.

He has had a great time fishing these past few days, catching big fish every day and even earning some money for cigarettes. It’s so great.

He knew in his heart that he was working for Qin Dahe and the others, which was equivalent to getting paid a few dozen yuan a day to help fish for a day, but he was happy to do it.

"junior high school?"

"Well, I'm teaching Chinese to the third grade." Grandpa said proudly. "Great."

"Your wife works at the grain station, right? Is she on the payroll? If you can get me some good stuff later, I'll help you think of a solution. I also know the stationmaster there."

"Yes, she is a college student." Qin Dahe said indifferently.

He didn't want to curry favor with anyone, he just wanted to chat about family matters.

Uncle Chen didn't say much after hearing this. Qin boy is indeed a character. Although the method of hitting and pulling just now was rough, it was not easy to do it on the spur of the moment.

After dinner, everyone continued fishing, but unexpectedly, the person who had just been beaten came.

"Buy two pounds of bait and let me try it." He said flatteringly.

Qin Dahe didn't mind who he sold it to. He naturally wanted to make money. He directly weighed out more than two kilograms of bait. He brought a scale with him today just to collect the fish in the evening.

"I'll get you another pair of lines."

"Okay." The other party nodded.

After handing the things over, Qin Dahe briefly explained how to prepare the bait, gave the other party half a bottle of stinky vegetable water, and lent him a heavy float.

He was the one who tried to stop the fight just now, and his face didn't look ugly.

The man happily took the bait and went downstream from Grandpa Chen. He could find a nest here without making a nest. He was really smart.

The sun is quite strong in the afternoon, and it is dazzling even when it shines from the opposite side because the water surface is also reflecting light.

Even wearing a straw hat would not help in this situation. Qin Dahe would be better off wearing sun protection clothing and sunglasses, but Erhu and the others could not bear it, and the fish were not biting well.

Fortunately, the wind started to blow, and by two o'clock the fish started to bite harder.

Seeing the float's movement increase, he thrust hard.

"Ce, it's finally my turn to load the big stuff."

The sound of cutting water continued and the line kept running out. He simply raised the pole and pulled hard, not believing that the No. 18 line could cut through the water.

When the fish bite, it's powerful. Erhu and Tiedan caught fish one after another, and the one who bought the bait also made a big move.

He brought a 6.3-meter rod, which is considered a long rod. Today he finally experienced the joy of fishing for silver carp and bighead carp.

The silly kid has already gotten off the fishing platform, ready to help the three people catch fish at any time.

The fish in his hand was jumping around, but Qin Dahe held the rod steady and waited.

It’s a big fish, but not a giant, and I’m in a very good mood.

Ten minutes later, Erhu's fish came up, and it turned out to be a black carp.

"Damn, finally something different has arrived." Erhu pulled the fish to the side with a smile, and the silly kid helped to scoop the fish.

If it weighs 13 or 14 kilograms, it can be sold for more than 100 yuan. If it weighs 17 or 18 kilograms, it will be even more expensive.

"It took three days of fishing before I started catching other fish. This bait is really awesome." Uncle Chen praised sincerely.

The more accurate the bait is, the more attractive it is.

Of course, small fish are not counted. It is normal to catch a few small fish when anchoring.

However, there are a lot of predatory animals here, and there is no room for small fish to survive. Only one fish comes occasionally.

Another ten minutes passed before the fish in Qin Dahe's hand was finally brought ashore.

The 30-jin silver carp was extremely ferocious and had just washed its gills twice. The sight of the big fish rushing out of the water made one's blood boil.

Everyone was jealous, it was so cool.

"What a pity! It would have been better if it was silver carp." Qin Dahe chuckled and pulled the fish back.

This fish slithered around for over twenty minutes, which was pretty impressive.

My body is also drenched in sweat. In this horrible weather and with such strong sun, it is too hot to wear sun-protective clothing.

Sit down again, cast the rod, and continue fishing for today.

The guy who was buying bait nearby also pulled up a ten-pound silver carp. He was very happy because he had made his money back.

Brother Niu might have felt hot, so he swam in the water for a while, then went to Erhu's fishing platform to shake off the water, and then jumped into the water with a splash.

Suddenly, another black head popped up.

"Why are you here again?" Qin Dahe wanted to chase it away with a scoop net, but the "ugly bastard" came over again to ask for fish.

"It's okay, I just happened to have a silver carp and bighead carp here." Grandpa Chen smiled and took out a silver carp weighing more than two kilograms from the fish basket. "This one is smaller, it shouldn't be the one I caught this morning."

He doesn't care about the money, he just wants to have fun.

Follow Qin Dahe's example and kill the fish first before throwing it over.

The little guy just grabbed it and ran away without even saying hello. How rude.

The appetite is strong right now, and we don’t have time to waste, so we’ll start eating soon.

I fished until half past five, and then I stopped when the fish stopped biting.

Everyone started to pack up their things. It was easier for Uncle Chen and another person to fish. The four of them had a lot of stuff, so it took them a while.

Seeing that grandpa had already collected the fish, he came over with a scale and collected the fish first.

A hanging scale with a hook can weigh up to a hundred kilograms. As the fish are weighed one by one, Uncle Chen cannot hide the joy on his face.

"Grandpa, a total of 253, I've made a lot of money today." Grandpa Chen fished at a fishing spot today, and the fishing was pretty good, but he had to buy new bait after it ran out.

　I will try my best to publish 10,000 words tomorrow. If it fails, please forgive me, because I need to maintain the quality and the next major plot needs to be carefully conceived.
