Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 238

The silly kid was quick-witted and used the scoop net to cover the fish's head and successfully caught it.

"Brother, I got it." The kid's face showed excitement.

Such a big black fish is worth two or three hundred yuan in itself.

Today is another day of making money with Big Brother.

He knew that it was his elder brother who was taking care of him, and it didn't matter who he called to fight the crime, there was no need to pay such high wages.

However, he was short of money for the recent wedding, so he had no choice but to go along with them shamelessly.

I will keep your kindness in my heart. No matter what happens in my eldest brother's family in the future, I will do my best to help.

The big black fish entered the cabin and kept struggling, scaring the other fish into jumping, almost causing them to jump out.

Silly kid even covered the partition. This situation was taken into consideration when the boat was designed. The middle layer is specially for fish.

Because there were fewer fish in the front, they didn't cover it. Now that the big guys have come in, it's very lively.

It was already half past nine. Qin Dahe was really tired after catching a big black fish, so he let Hanwaer take over the lead to fish with lures, and then they retreated after another hour.

In the afternoon, he would go to Ligezhuang after passing Xinba to fish again. As for the river channel after Xiaoguowei on the side of Fenghuang Bridge, he did not plan to go there because there were too many fishing workers there.

After a trip, they return home with a great harvest.

The fish tank was filled to the brim with twenty black fish, creating a dark mass.

The two strong men were so strong that they carried the boat ashore directly, then disassembled it on the spot and carried the fish hold in the middle to the fish guard like a transfer box.

Yanyan was secretly amazed at how strong the two tiger brothers were.

There are about 100 pounds of fish, and together with the fish, water and the cabin, it weighs 300 pounds. It is quite easy for the silly kid to walk in front.

"Brother, there are so many black fish." The little girl immediately became greedy when she saw the black fish. She hadn't eaten it for a long time.

"I'll make you some pickled fish for lunch."

"You can do it?"

"No, my mom should be able to do it, right?" He turned to look at his mother.

"Don't look at me, I don't know how to cook either. Just use pickles." Qin's mother said speechlessly.

She had heard of pickled fish, but it was too troublesome to fillet the fish.

"Then braise it with spicy sauce." Yanyan drooled. The meat of the black fish was delicious and not fishy.

"Where is my dad?" Qin Dahe asked casually. He was still there when he left in the morning.

"I'm going fishing. You can bring me food later." Qin's mother said with a smile.

The whole family are fishermen. They can’t eat all the fish at home and can even sell them for money.

"Oh."

I guess I caught some fish yesterday, so I'll strike while the iron is hot today. I'll tell you about my catch later and make those unlucky guys envious, hehe.

Braised black fish is definitely not as delicious as pickled fish. The tenderness of the fish fillets is not fully reflected, but it is still quite delicious for lunch.

"Mom, to make pickled fish, just slice the fish, dust it with potato starch and add some egg white. You can try it tonight." He was still dreaming while eating the black fish.

"You do the slicing. I don't have the knife skills." Mother Qin was not moved at all.

"Okay." Qin Dahe felt that his knife skills were pretty good, so he decided to try eating one in the evening.

It was only half past eleven when we finished our meal. Because we had to deliver the food, we ate much earlier today.

Picking up his lunch box, he rode his tricycle towards Longwanghuo.

When we got there, the sun was scorching hot and we could feel the heat even through our sun protection clothes.

Three fishermen sat dejectedly under the shade of a tree, with their fishing platform standing alone in the river.

Qin Dahe was also embarrassed and started shouting as soon as he went down.

"Dad, did you catch something big today? There were so many fish yesterday."

Seeing that no one said anything, he went to flip the fish basket. The three fish baskets together only managed to find two breams, which were willow-leaf breams.

"Tsk tsk, that's all! I caught over 100 kilograms of snakehead fish this morning."

"Get the hell out of here." Seeing his son showing off, the old man couldn't hold it in anymore and was about to kick him into the river, but he dodged it.

"Why are you still doing it?" He chuckled. "Let's go back this afternoon. It's too hot now, and the herring won't bite."

"I fished for another half a day. I caught a bite this morning. The No. 7 leader line your sixth uncle was using got cut."

No wonder he looked so unhappy, it turned out he was getting tangent.

A fish that can be cut by No. 7 line must be quite big.

It is indeed better if the thread group is thinner and does not block the mouth, but it is a pain to cut the thread.

"Didn't they say we should use line 30? If we don't guard the giant fish, we might as well go to a grass carp nest." He curled his lips.

The purpose of Longwangguai's nest is to protect giant fish. If you want to make money, you still have to go fishing for grass carp or silver carp and bighead carp.

"There wasn't much work this morning, so I was thinking of changing the line." Uncle Liu said embarrassedly.

He had given up hope of catching the giant, but when it really came, he couldn't catch it. He was speechless.

A grass carp weighing dozens of kilograms costs at least several thousand yuan. I still regret it now.

Qin Dahe didn't dwell on the topic, but took this opportunity to cast a few fishing rods for fun.

I hung two sweet potatoes and corns and threw them down casually.

After waiting for ten minutes or so, I still hadn't eaten anything. I was too lazy to waste time here. I packed up the three of us and went home.

He is so energetic that he can even withstand the high temperature of 35 or 36 degrees. I can only say that fishermen are awesome.

In the afternoon, the two brothers set out again, started the diesel engine and headed straight for Ligezhuang.

The sun at three o'clock was extremely scorching. Not only did it burn the head, but also the reflection from the water surface. Even the silly kid wearing a straw hat couldn't stand it and his face was sunburned red.

Even though Qin Dahe was fully armed, he could not get tanned. He was still hot, and sweat was flowing down his neck and his underwear was wet.

There is a large water surface on the other side of Xinba. Snakehead carp like places with structures. They attacked here once during the Chinese New Year, so we just skipped it and didn’t waste time.

When we arrived at Ligezhuang, there were dense aquatic plants and duckweed, which was a great place to catch black fish.

In the afternoon, the search continued intensively, leaving behind a web-like pattern on the duckweed.

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

Then it was as if the fish were poisoned, and all they had were small black fish, weighing one and a half kilograms, two kilograms, two and a half kilograms, and the largest one was only four kilograms.

"Cena, we are all small ones." Qin Dahe wiped the sweat off his forehead depressedly, and let the silly kid step forward.

He was so tired that he jumped into the water and soaked for a while before coming out to continue driving the boat. The silly kid followed his example.

At this moment, there are some people scattered in the fields, adding water to protect the seedlings. It is not good if it is too dry.

"Brother, there are no big ones." After a while, the silly kid also pulled up a small black fish.

It can't be compared with their outer river at all, there are a lot of goods there.

"No wonder there are so many big crucian carp here. It turns out that the black carp didn't grow up quickly enough." He said with a wry smile.

But no matter how small it is, there is something in it.

At this time, Qin Dahe's phone rang.

"Hey, Dahe, how are your preparations going?"

It turned out to be Scar calling.

"The fishing gear is ready, and everyone is gathered. We are just waiting for your notification." He signaled the silly kid to take a rest.

Lighting a cigarette, the two brothers lit it happily.

"I'm starting to raise a nest today. How much should I pour every day?"

"Three hundred kilograms a day. Add salt before pouring to kill the activity. The further you pour toward the periphery, the less you pour. Make sure to pour more in the core."

The Yangtze River is not the Yuxi River, so the same method cannot be used even when making a loach nest.

He had never tried it specifically, but he read fishing books and some books and magazines about fish habits very carefully, and was able to make some adjustments.

This kind of stepped nest can attract fish from the periphery.

"Okay, then you guys come over tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, go over and make some repairs, and the day after that, we'll start fishing. You can keep it for three days."

"Haha, it's up to you. More and more people are eating catfish now, so you have to prepare for night fishing." Scar said happily.

The bigmouth catfish costs more than ten yuan per pound and is quite large in size, so it is very profitable. The mandarin fish and black carp are also expensive.

"I have all the equipment. Just wait and see. Let's work together to make some money."

After fishing for so long, Qin Dahe has gained confidence. He is sure to make money this time, it’s just a matter of how much.

After hanging up the phone, he told Hanwaer about the situation. Hanwaer was very happy to know that he could go out to earn money the day after tomorrow, as he was short of money right now.

The two of them thought about going to Jiuzi to have a big fight the day after tomorrow, and they felt much happier.

After finishing their cigarettes, the two brothers gathered their spirits and continued working. They searched all the floats in Ligezhuang before they stopped.

A total of eighteen snakehead carps were caught. The resources are really good now. No one has ever caught wild river snakehead carp except by forking them.

It was already five o'clock and it was a little less hot, so the two brothers started to return to work in the wild pond.

These wild ponds need to be accessed from the shore, starting from Xiaoguowei to the area shaded by graves in their village.

There are more or less some small ponds at the door or on the side of the more than ten households from the middle to the end of the village. Although these ponds belong to each family by default, they can definitely be used to catch snakehead fish, as they do not require pumping water.

The black carp in these ponds were also relatively small, and we caught them all the way to my grandfather's house.

The afternoon's harvest was not as good as the morning's. Although we caught more black carp, twenty-five in total, the total weight was only more than fifty kilograms. Small black carp are cheaper to sell.

If you are not happy with a farmer and throw these black fish in, it will be a disaster.

So no matter whether it is a big black carp or a small black carp, as long as he catches it, he will put it all in the fish tank and there will be no release.

I don’t know what those saints in later generations were thinking when they released black fish. What’s even more outrageous is releasing loaches.

Natural loach nests. Many anglers go to great lengths to join these releasing groups just for the fish or loach nests released by these people.

When they got home, Yanyan immediately poured them some tea, and both of them were so tired that their throats were almost smoking.

I finished a pot of water in the afternoon by five o'clock and now I am very thirsty.

"Brother, how many black carp did you catch this afternoon?" The two of them moved a little too quickly. They dumped the fish basket as soon as they got home, and she hadn't even seen it yet.

"Not many, about fifty pounds, all little ones." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

He picked up the phone and called his dad.

"Hey, Dad, are you coming back tonight?"

"I'll be home soon." The old man said impatiently and hung up.
