Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 220: Silver Carp (Over Jin)

It’s so much fun to go fishing together and see who catches more fish.

If someone catches a giant fish, they will become the focus of the whole audience, and the highlight moment will be maximized.

Qin Dahe nodded, saying that it was indeed fun to fish with so many people.

Fishing in black pits in later generations is actually similar. Dozens or hundreds of anglers fish together, which is lively and allows them to compete with each other.

The competition between anglers is very interesting, but no one compares equipment. A fishing rod worth tens of thousands of dollars is useless if you can't catch fish.

Everyone is very pure, competing to see who catches more and who catches bigger fish.

If someone's wife came to deliver food, there would be no need to compete. Ying Zheng would just touch the electric wire and win immediately.

At this time, someone caught a big fish just opposite the sluice gate.

The other party uses raw bamboo, so now I can catch fish without worrying about being tired, after all, there are so many big fish here.

"Brother Dahe, can you lend me a scoop net? Haha, it's huge."

"Here it comes." Qin Dahe stood up and handed the scoop net over. He had just caught a fish.

When fishing for big silver carp and bighead carp, not everyone has a landing net. The net needs to be deep and the mouth needs to be big.

Every time they go out, they bring five scoop nets with them, and the spare one is usually lent to Uncle Chen.

Bait is selling like hot cakes now, and those who have bait but no floats will naturally lend some out.

Many people asked to buy fishing gear such as landing nets and floats, but he was reluctant to sell them, saying that he would make a batch for everyone when he had time after finishing his fishing.

Seeing that the fishing gear business was taking off, he was not in a hurry.

The market is too small, so small that it is only used by a dozen fishermen in a town. It would be better to catch more fish with such time.

Send the scoop net back and everyone continues fishing.

Half an hour later, Erhu also caught a fish. He wanted to help scoop up the fish, so he prepared to call someone to bring the scoop net back.

I didn’t expect that the brother who just borrowed the landing net was still playing with it. I couldn’t help but smack my lips. What the hell, it’s a huge thing.

There was no choice but to put down the fishing rod and get a scoop net to help.

"Ce, how big is the fish over there?"

"I don't know, probably about 50 kilograms," Qin Dahe said depressedly.

The four of them haven't climbed any giants this year, and nothing over 50 kilograms can be seen.

After catching the fish, the next few bites suddenly became fiercer and everyone started to have fun again.

There was no need to take the scoop net back, and he even had to borrow two out, because there were three of them at once, and Qin Dahe was specifically responsible for scooping fish.

We have to do this, the fish are biting too fast.

"Silver carp." The silly kid pulled the fish back with a smile. It weighed 20 kilograms, and a silver carp cost 150 to 160 yuan.

Qin Dahe grabbed it and put it into the fish basket. Today the fish exploded, and it was a big one.

This side is almost entirely guarded today, but they are the most professionally equipped and the most efficient.

"Dahe, how many pounds?"

"I don't know, at least four hundred," he said excitedly.

It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon now, and we can still work for two hours. We can definitely catch 500 kilograms of fish.

"It's just like you said, the more people fishing, the more fish there are." Erhu said with emotion, and the others nodded.

When Qin Dahe first started selling bait, Uncle Chen was worried, but now he wishes more fishermen would come.

There is no need to make a nest, just rely on Qin Dahe and the others to fish.

"Ce, there are fish over there." Tiedan was suddenly startled.

Qin Dahe was doing auxiliary work at the moment and was not busy. When he heard the words, he went over to take a look.

"Damn, this one must weigh 70 kilograms, right?" The people around were really envious and jealous.

A huge silver carp with an extremely fat head and belly.

Qin Dahe was so jealous when he saw it. This fish starts at 500 yuan, and one fish is worth two tigers for a day.

Scar Ye is now buying big silver carp at a very high price, so there is no worry about selling it.

When the fish is pulled up, its body turns slightly red. This is a normal phenomenon when a big fish moves violently while struggling.

"Brother Dahe, this bait is really worth buying." The person who caught the big fish happily put the fish into the fish basket.

His fish basket was not big and it was difficult to put the fish in. Qin Dahe felt a little sorry because he thought the fish would die in a while.

"Such a big fish, will you sell it? If you let it go, the small fish will die easily."

"How much?" The other party's eyes lit up.

"Seven dollars, it's troublesome for me to deliver it to the city." He said sincerely.

The price difference of two dollars is normal, because if you die on the road, it will only be worth five dollars, which is very risky.

The other party can only sell it for seven or eight yuan at most when it is taken to the town. In the countryside, no one will ask you for a premium. The price is what it is in the vegetable market.

"Okay, this price is fine. Please weigh it for me."

He was very satisfied with the price, and silver carp in the town was not expensive.

The people nearby were shocked when they heard this. A fish cost four or five hundred yuan. They were so envious.

Someone immediately became jealous and wanted to buy bait, but the bait they brought in the morning had been sold out and was out of stock.

"Haha, what were you doing earlier?" The others who bought bait were all laughing. It was really exciting. Anyone who bought bait would be considered a jerk if they didn't catch 50 kilograms today.

In addition to this person who caught a 70-jin giant, there was even someone who pulled in a -jin silver carp and bighead carp, which was really scary.

The one who was speaking was the one who was fishing furiously. Currently, he was the most handsome guy besides the one who was fishing for giant silver carp.

Those who didn’t buy silver carp and bighead carp bait can only regret secretly. If they had bought it in the morning, how much money would they have made now?

"Brother, I don't have that much cash on hand. Can you go home with me to get some in the evening?" Qin Dahe asked tentatively.

I really can't bear to part with this big fish, the price difference can reach more than one hundred.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask." The other person turned around and asked others if they wanted to sell fish. Unexpectedly, many people said they wanted to sell.

"Just go home and get the money, and take the fish."

Qin Dahe also thought this was a good idea. If he could collect all the fish present, the price difference would be not much different from what they would get by fishing.

"Silver carp weighing less than 30 jin are 5 yuan per jin, and bighead carp are 2 yuan regardless of size. Is that acceptable to you?"

"The silver carp can be sold at a higher price." Some people don't want to sell it, but they can still get six or seven yuan by setting up a stall in town.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I have to make money too. I work so hard to deliver the goods to the city." He said indifferently.

In the end, there were still many people willing to sell fish. A rough count showed that there were about five or six hundred kilograms.

Not everyone has the time to set up a stall, and besides, it would be much more fun to fish if you have that time.

"Then I'll go back and get the money. You guys wait." After saying this, he was about to go back and tell Erhu and the others.

Brothers have to work together in this business, since we all have plenty of public funds.

"Bring some more bait, boss."

"Haha, okay." I didn't expect that at this time, there are still people thinking about the bait.

When he came again, he brought the scale and four new transfer boxes, as many people wanted to sell fish today.

Erhu and the others stopped fishing and just helped to collect the fish.

The first one to be named is the big silver carp, which is really an exaggeration.

"Seventy-three pounds, watch carefully." It was already half past four, and everyone gathered together to watch the fun.

"That's awesome! Selling a fish for 500 yuan."

"The money is fine, the key is the size of the fish." Everyone present felt jealous, thinking how great it would be if they could catch the fish themselves.

At this time, there are no poor people who can buy bait at 20 yuan per pound and go fishing with a set of long rods.

Even the man who stole their bait last time also runs a supermarket in town.

Everyone is just envious of the 500 yuan, but it's such a big fish that makes people jealous. Moreover, it was caught in full view of the public. From now on, anyone who fishes in the sluice gate must hear this story.

The man who caught the fish held his chin high, looking extremely proud, and talked about his fishing experience with saliva flying.

"I cut a set of lines this morning. It was a set of lines I borrowed from my brother Dahe." He brought his own No. 10 line.

After cutting it, I got serious and used a 22+18 line set, otherwise I would not be able to catch this wild silver carp.

Because I was afraid that the fishing rod would break, I went to the nearby village and cut a piece of bamboo.

Silver carp and bighead carp are not black carp. If you don't handle it properly, even the No. 18 leader line can cut a -jin fish, not to mention the fishing rod.

"Boss, please give us some No. 22 wire sets. I'll buy them." Everyone said eagerly.

Qin Dahe just smiled bitterly when he heard it. Well, I have to assign me another job.

"My wire sets are all imported. You should be able to tell. Otherwise, I'll just sell them by the set."

On the side, Erhu and Hanwaer continued to weigh the fish, and Tiedan took the money and started to pay everyone's bill.

"A set of main line + four pairs of spring hook lines, fifteen dollars. You can choose the number yourself. But I will have to spend time tying them after we get back, so the delivery may be slow." After a pause, he continued.

"I bought too much. I don't have enough thread sets. I have to go to the city to buy more."

"Okay, as you say."

No one minds the fifteen yuan price, as they can catch silver carp and bighead carp weighing 70 kilograms, so the quality is definitely good.

It is not cheap to buy lines in the city. The people who deal in fishing gear are very unscrupulous nowadays. A set of lines is more expensive than what it will be sold for twenty years later.

"Where's the float? Give us some heavy floats." Someone complained.

It is really difficult to use a heavy float. Once the water is flowing, you have to follow the method taught by Qin Dahe and put both leads into the water. A light float will not work at all.

"I'll sell you my heavy floats today. They're ten yuan each. They're very hard to make." Anyway, today is the last day of fishing.

Erhu and his friends are going to have a tricycle ride tomorrow, and Tiedan is getting married the day after tomorrow.

Everyone was quite surprised by the price. After all, any light float costs ten yuan now, and this kind of heavy float is out of stock.

In the end, there was a purchase limit on floats, and there were only a dozen or so left, so we gave Uncle Chen an extra one.

Since the floating business was done by brothers together, the bill was still included in the public account.

It’s different with the bait. From the machines to the raw materials, his family does everything themselves, and the money goes directly into his pocket.

"You guys aren't fishing tomorrow?"

"I'm busy, so I may not have time."

"Then sell me the scoop net." The person who spoke took the scoop net in his hand.

There are no heavy-duty scoop nets on the market now. If you make it yourself, you have to find steel rings and weld them yourself. It is better to buy them. Anyway, they have seen Qin Dahe selling things.
