Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 237

After dinner in the evening, Qin Dahe took the food and went to Longwangguai to see how the old men were doing with their fishing.

They are really resistant to the sun, even in the afternoon when the temperature is 35 degrees.

It was only six o'clock when we arrived at the place. They were setting up the lights and it would be dark soon.

"Dad, how is it?" He handed over the food and began to look through the fish.

"Look for yourself." Father Qin said proudly and started eating with his sixth uncle and the others.

The first fish guard is a bream, which is the same as him.

The second time we caught black carp, there were two of them, each weighing about ten pounds.

Ce, I'm so lucky, these two black carps are worth more than two hundred yuan, I didn't expect to actually catch them.

The last fish guard turned out to be a turtle.

???

"Just two herrings?"

"Better than you, you haven't caught a single one yet."

Qin Dahe: “.”

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have said anything.

Please help turn on the light. The spotlight is quite conspicuous and many people passing by will take a look.

I took a look at the nest and there was no obvious fish smell (fish bubbles), which means the fish have not entered the nest yet. The two fish just now should have been passing fish.

After dinner they continued fishing, hoping to catch two more fish that evening.

Carrying the things back, he felt a little annoyed because he had become too dark recently.

I went to the sluice gate in the afternoon to catch mandarin fish but didn't catch any, so I caught a black carp.

After thinking about it, he rode his bike to find the silly kid.

It's already past seven o'clock, the sky is completely dark, and the moon is still quite bright.

When we arrived at the place, we saw a rough red brick yard in the moonlight. Because we were in a hurry to finish the work, it was not painted.

Unlike his house, even the courtyard wall is covered with cement. Of course, there is no putty powder, which is such a waste.

When we entered the yard, Silly Kid’s tent had not been dismantled yet. Light was coming from inside, and there were a lot of building materials stacked against the wall.

His furniture was not ready yet, so it was inconvenient to move in now, so he had to continue living in the tent.

"Kid." He shouted, but there was no one in the tent.

"elder brother."

The door was pushed open and the silly kid came out with a flashlight. The electrical wires had not been laid yet.

"Just now, getting something."

"Are you busy tomorrow?"

"Not busy, those behind, come back and do it."

Now, after a long period of practice, he doesn't stutter as much when speaking.

"Come with me tomorrow to catch snakehead. We'll go out in a small boat and I'll give you one-third."

"Okay." The kid was immediately surprised.

It has cost nearly 20,000 yuan to build the house during this period, so I have to find a way to make the money.

Throwing out a cigarette, he went into the new house and looked around with a flashlight.

It's basically done, at least it looks like something, but the house is bare and there's not even a cabinet.

Now all of the baby’s assets are still in Yanyan’s hands. Every time he wants to buy some materials, he has to go home to get money. He really doesn’t feel at ease leaving it here.

"When we get back from the city, you can buy some clothes and ask someone out to play, okay?"

Ever since his grandmother passed away, he has become increasingly slovenly.

If your clothes are torn, you can just patch them up. How can you go on a blind date dressed like that?

"No." The kid was embarrassed. How could he ask someone out?

"It's okay, just call people out to fish. That's how Yanyan came here." He chuckled.

The other party is the daughter of a butcher, and she is probably very generous. As long as the silly girl doesn't behave so recklessly, there is a high probability that she will succeed.

Nowadays, marriage still depends on the wishes of both parents. Qin's mother went there twice and everyone was doing well in the talks.

If we work harder here, maybe we can negotiate the gift.

However, the price of betrothal gifts seems to have increased this year. Some families even offer a price of 66,000 yuan, which is simply outrageous.

After explaining the matter, he went home.

Qin Dahe didn't go to bed early today. He couldn't sleep at all, so he just waited downstairs.

He wanted to know how many fish the three old men could catch in a day, and why he only caught one bream in the morning. He also wanted to ask them when they caught the fish.

The fishing conditions in each place are different, so you need to learn more and then adjust your fishing methods.

Catching giant bluefin bream is his short-term goal. After summarizing the situation carefully, he will definitely catch something.

It was almost half past ten, and my mother had called them twice before the three of them came back. I guess they all got scolded.

Seeing his son waiting in the yard, the old man smiled proudly.

"I caught four herrings today."

"How big?" Qin Dahe hurried over to help move things.

I also brought three fishing platforms today, so that’s a lot of stuff.

"One weighs 25 kilograms, and the other three weigh about 10 kilograms each." Uncle Liu said happily.

There is also a turtle and two breams. These few things are worth about a thousand yuan. Except for the breams, all other things are valuable.

He and Dabao can share a quarter, which means they can get more than two hundred yuan.

It’s definitely not as good as Qin Dahe and the others, but it’s good enough to get so much money.

The fishing gear was cleared away, and Qin Dahe was envious of the four black carps in the transfer box.

The fur is really good, and the black fish back is like a submarine, shining brightly when illuminated by the light.

"Will you sell it tomorrow morning?"

"Save them for now and continue fishing tomorrow. These fish are useless." Qin's father said arrogantly.

The main thing is that I feel embarrassed. My son always gives me hundreds or thousands of kilograms of fish, but I only get four black carps and one turtle, which makes me feel embarrassed.

After putting the fish into the fish basket, Dabao and Uncle Liu went home first.

"Dad, when did you catch these fish? What bait did you use?" Seeing his father about to leave, he immediately grabbed him and asked.

"The big black carps were all caught around seven o'clock, when it was almost dark. We caught two, both weighing ten kilograms, at ten o'clock in the morning, and another at nine o'clock in the evening." Qin's father recounted the fishing experience in detail.

My son makes money by fishing, so he must be thinking about something when asking these questions.

"The bait is all snails. No corn today."

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Dahe nodded. There was too little data to figure out any pattern. He would summarize it after catching some fish.

After washing his hands, he hurried upstairs to sleep as he still had a busy day tomorrow.

The next day, Qin Dahe got up early in the morning.

First, I called the silly kid over to have breakfast. The two of them gulped down two large bowls of white porridge, and also brought some steamed buns and a bottle of boiled water. They planned to go snakehead fishing until ten o'clock today.

If the fishing is good, we will continue at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The silly kid just wore a straw hat, while Qin Dahe was fully armed, wearing sun-protective clothing and a hat, as well as a mask and sunglasses, because he was afraid of getting tanned.

The two men packed up their things and began to assemble the boat. They inflated the airbag and tied it up, then installed the gasoline engine and it was done.

Because of the airbag, people can stand on it very steadily.

They boarded the boat one after the other. Han Waer was at the back, steering the boat and scooping fish. He was at the front, searching for fish. They started right at the door. "Waer, go to Dr. Li's clinic first. I'll start from there and fish from both sides."

"it is good."

As the rope was rolled onto the starter, the gasoline engine started immediately after it was pulled.

He drove towards the middle of the outer river with a rumble, and when he arrived, he started fishing with lures.

He cast the first line at the doorstep, but after three consecutive lines without any catch, he knew that this place was not a good place because there were so many people coming and going, and black fish were not willing to stay there.

Then I fired the line towards the bottom of Weimin Supermarket. There was a fallen tree there. I fired the Thunder Frog over there and started to reel in the line in jumps.

Today he used No. 30 nylon line, and he was too lazy to use braided line because the quality was too poor. He would buy some imported Dainippon line set when he had the chance.

Before leaving the area of fallen trees, a huge hole appeared on the water surface, which might scare even the timid people.

"Here it comes, haha, open the door and there's a big shipment."

Qin Dahe happily started to pull hard, and with the No. 30 line, he pulled back a black fish weighing more than ten pounds.

The silly kid prepared the scoop net and scooped up the fish as soon as it came in.

Then they started bailing water into the cabin.

"Brother, this year's black carp is eight yuan." The child said happily.

Since he sells fish quite diligently, he has a good understanding of the prices of fish.

"That's good, haha, I made a thousand dollars today."

With a shake of his hand, he threw another rod under the fallen tree. Maybe there are more fish here.

"Big river, fishing for snakehead?"

At this time, Erhu came out of the village and shouted as soon as he saw him.

"Well, what are you doing?"

"The bottom plate of a tricycle is broken, and they asked me to fix it." He said with a smile.

Tiedan’s new house is still under finishing touches and his family is busy, so he came here alone to take care of the order.

"It's done, don't embarrass me."

"Hey, if you can't handle it, I'll come find you."

After greeting everyone, Erhu went to the small welding workshop upstairs, where a tricycle was waiting.

Qin Dahe continued to collect his fishing rod. Unexpectedly, there were so many black carps here. He searched around a tree and a piece of water grass and found three black carps, two small and one big.

"Another fifty meters ahead, one section at a time."

"it is good."

The silly kid immediately stepped on the accelerator and jumped forward a little. This gasoline engine is so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye.

Because it was an intensive search, it took more than 20 minutes to advance every 50 meters. Seeing this, the silly kid simply turned off the diesel engine to waste fuel.

Holding a scoop net in his hand as a paddle, Qin Dahe finished fishing and then slowly rowed forward.

"Today is going to be a good harvest." Another black fish weighing more than three pounds came ashore.

One of them was fighting the gangsters, while the other was catching fish and rowing the boat at the back. They worked quite quickly.

However, after casting the lure like this for an hour, he got tired and started to let the kid cast in front.

Qin Dahe gave a brief instruction and the two of them slowly searched forward.

After a while, they arrived at the section of the river near his father-in-law's house, and he steered the boat to the shore.

"Kid, bring me a black fish to eat."

"Yeah." The silly kid nodded heavily. Grandpa was his master, so he picked out a big one.

Qin Dahe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.

"Just take one weighing three or four pounds. Grandpa and his family can't eat too big a meal, it would be a waste." The family didn't need to be polite and just took whatever size they needed.

The silly kid then changed to a smaller one and carried it up.

The old carpenter accepted it with a smile. One was his apprentice and the other was his son-in-law. No matter how filial he was, it would not be too much to show his respect.

"Dahe, why are there so many?" Aunt came over to take a look. There were thirteen black fish in the small cabin, and the smallest one weighed more than one kilogram.

"Well, get some black fish and keep them at home. Yanyan likes to eat them." He said with a smile.

Yanyan wanted to eat mandarin fish, but she couldn’t get it. She was not a god and could not get the fish just by going there.

Yanyan can also eat some black fish. Just leave two for the time being. She will definitely get tired of eating it every day.

From grandpa's side, going forward is the shade of the graves, and beyond the shade of the graves is the tofu shop.

Fenyin is a very mysterious place, and there are many fish in most of the Fenyin places near the water.

It was then Qin Dahe's turn to catch black fish. He deliberately searched this place repeatedly.

I caught a fish on the first cast, a black fish weighing more than two kilograms.

"Brother, over there." The silly kid whispered, pointing to the edge of a patch of water plants.

Qin Dahe looked over and saw a black figure quietly floating under the water. Qin Dahe was shocked.

"It's so big, Ce." His voice was trembling.

At first glance, it weighs at least 30 kilograms. Such a big black fish can even be eaten by ducks.

There are very few ducks in the village that go to the outer river, but there are many black fish. The little ducklings can be eaten one by one in one bite, and they are very crunchy.

In this area of Waihe River, the only predatory fish is black carp. Because it is cut off from the Yuxi River, there are no such things as black carp and blackhead carp.

This giant black fish was probably there before the sluice gate was closed.

"Kid, move forward a little bit and be gentle." He said softly, his eyes revealing excitement.

The snakehead fish is too big. If you have to go far to retrieve it, it will easily run to places with complex structures, and you may not be able to catch it in time.

There are a lot of things under the water in this area of the outer river, including sunken ships, fallen trees, and all kinds of things.

"it is good."

The silly kid used a scoop net to gently paddle nearby and stopped about ten meters away.

Qin Dahe's hand trembled and he didn't dare to use too much force. The thunder frog flew over the black fish and stopped after passing ten meters away. In other words, this one throw was twenty meters away.

It's not that he couldn't shoot accurately. If he hit the black fish directly on the head, it would definitely run away. It's not stupid.

Then he started to make fake moves and quickly reeled in the fish. Such a big black fish is already the overlord of the outer river. It has lost its vigilance, so there is no need to tease it too much.

The thunder frog approached the black fish quickly and slowly, and its submarine-like figure began to sink slightly.

When passing by the side, there was a sudden explosion.

The purpose of snakehead fishing is to get this sudden sense of excitement, which is so exciting.

"Haha, come on, Lao Hei." Qin Dahe started to reel in the line excitedly.

However, the fish was too strong. The black fish pulled the fishing line and ran wildly, approaching the water plants at a very fast speed.

After unlocking the lock, he pulled the line violently. It was a No. 30 fishing line, and a mere -jin black fish wanted to break free?

At this time, the small boats began to be pulled forward, and the sound of cutting water continued.

Unfortunately, it eventually got entangled in the water plants, as the black fish was located close to the water plants.

He tried twice but failed, and the situation was at a stalemate.

Seeing this, the silly kid started to take off his clothes and then went into the water with a scoop net.

Such a big fish can't get away.

As long as the fishing line is connected, the fish will definitely come up.

The water depth near the outer river tomb is about 1.5 to 1.8 meters. The child can barely expose his head. There is muddy bottom below, and the head will be submerged if he sinks a little.

After he got into the water, he cleared the water plants along the fishing line. He moved more than two meters forward before he saw the black fish, which was struggling non-stop.

Qin Dahe was a little worried. The line would definitely not be cut on the fishing rod. Such a long line has good elasticity. But it would not be the same if it was caught on the grass. It would easily break if it struggled.
