Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 240

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the rain was a little lighter. Qin Dahe was hesitating whether to go home, but he didn't expect that God just breathed a sigh of relief.

By half past eleven, the intensity had increased.

We definitely can’t go back in such heavy rain, it’s too unsafe. Qin Dahe was a little annoyed. He had to install a wiper on the motorcycle tricycle later.

"Daha, come have lunch with me at noon and I'll introduce my eldest son to you." Scar said with a smile.

"Okay, where does your son work?"

"The last time he was in the group, he liked boxing and went to Nanjing every day. He got injured recently and went home to recuperate. Alas!" Scar sighed.

I only have one son and one daughter, and my son likes boxing. It's really annoying.

The key is that it costs money. I spend more than 200,000 yuan on boxing every year, and I really can't afford it if I don't have a way to make a living.

"Boxing, you have to get people married quickly." Qin Dahe felt sympathetic, boxing was the most dangerous hobby.

"I've already asked someone to contact them. It'll just cost some money. This is a small matter." Scar said indifferently.

"By the way, he'll be following you fishing this time, keeping your accounts every day in duplicate. You can also take one copy for yourself."

"Just do it this way." Qin Dahe nodded.

We also have to divide the money among ourselves, and each person will have to make a separate bill to count the daily catch.

It was not until twelve o'clock that a very burly young man drove a Santana into the store, carrying a large bag of lunch boxes in his hands.

"Dad, I brought you food." The young man spoke in a very loud and powerful voice.

"Put it down first. Let me introduce you to a friend of the same age." Scar Grandpa introduced Qin Dahe.

The other person's name was Lu Hu, and he asked Qin Dahe to call him Ah Hu.

After learning that they would be working together for a while, they seemed to get along quite well.

Qin Dahe was also very familiar with Jinling. After the food was served, they began to talk about Jinling.

"I was in college at the time, and I climbed over the wall to watch the armed police training on the other side. It was so cool."

"Haha, I wanted to find an old armed police officer to be my apprentice, but unfortunately he ignored me." Ah Hu said regretfully.

It is generally recognized that the armed police are the best fighters now. The older they get, the better they fight. After all, those who have achieved sanctification in the flesh have not retired yet.

"You can learn this by boxing? Aren't the rules different?" Qin Dahe looked at him curiously. Boxing is not about fighting.

"Tsk, it's good to learn some skills. At least I won't suffer any loss in the competition."

As soon as I heard it, I knew there was a story behind it. It seemed that he had suffered a loss and came back to recuperate.

"Yes."

The lunch meal was salted duck, beef stew with potatoes, and a serving of vegetables.

The two waiters in the store also joined in eating. Scar wanted them to drink some wine, but was rejected. How could he drink when he had to ride a bike in the afternoon?

After dinner, the heavy rain did not begin to subside until two o'clock, so he immediately said goodbye and went home.

If you don’t go back now, it will be dark by the time you get home.

When we got to Tongjiang Avenue, the rain had stopped. I opened the window and felt very comfortable.

Sitting in the car, he lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and leisurely drove to the town.

It’s good to have a temperature drop now, otherwise fishing in the next few days will be a hassle.

When he arrived in town, he went to the post office first, and sure enough, he received two remittances, both for buying bait.

Qin Dahe called to thank the other party for their trust and said that the goods would be shipped immediately.

The two of them are from neighboring provinces, so I guess it would be quick to go by post.

I stepped on the accelerator and drove all the way home. My mother was still waiting for him and was relieved only when she saw him back.

"Mom, pack me a ten-jin and a twenty-jin bait. I'll need it later."

"Who bought it?" She looked around and saw no one outside the door.

"A friend of mine wants it online. It's 12 yuan a pound. You pack it first while I go write something."

He went straight to the attic. The little girl was not asleep yet. When she saw him come back, she immediately hugged him and refused to let go.

"Didn't I call you?" He stroked the person in his arms.

"I'm just worried about you."

"Okay, I'll write something." After comforting his wife, he immediately began to write down the precautions for fishing for silver carp and bighead carp.

I wrote down the nesting materials, how to prepare bait, and the precautions for fishing, and then copied it again in two copies.

Then he went to the utility room and took out some heavy floats and leader lines. Since the other party trusted him, he couldn't do it for him and gave him more things.

"Yan'er, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

"Yeah, be careful on the road."

He took the bait handed to him by my mother and set off immediately.

At eight o'clock the next morning, on a sunny day after the rain, many people came to the Qin family's yard.

Mr. Wang and his group have come over. Erhu and Tiedan also arrived early in the morning and are having dinner at his house.

The little girl was in a bad mood today. Her brother would be away for several days, so she kept following Qin Dahe around.

Qin's mother was busy serving tea eggs and snacks, just like relatives coming to the house. These people were all going out to make money with her son, so she had to treat them well.

"Eat something first, Brother Wang and Brother Yan, eat something, and then get the fishing gear when the truck arrives." Qin Dahe greeted them with a smile.

At this time, two people were wandering around his utility room, which was full of fishing gear, which was eye-catching.

Various line groups are arranged in a row, and there are sub-line floats of various sizes and styles.

"What a complete selection." The two said enviously, and then went to eat tea eggs together.

"The truck will arrive at nine o'clock, don't worry."

After finishing his meal, seeing that there was still some time left, he started smoking.

"We'll be fishing in two shifts this time, so it might be hard work. Everyone, please persevere." After a pause, he continued, "But I guarantee you'll make money."

The previous sentence was directed at Brother Wang and Brother Yan. Quitting halfway because they can't endure hardship will hurt morale.

After six or seven days of fishing, I still fish in a loach nest and have to rely on my strength to keep fishing.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not run away if I can have a good time fishing. I have already asked for leave and stayed home." Mr. Wang said arrogantly.

"Haha, that's fine, Dad. You and Uncle Six will ride your tricycle over there first and clean up the place we're staying. Scarface is waiting there. If you need anything, just buy it." He directly took out 2000 yuan.

We must do a good job of logistics for this fishing trip, at least the accommodation must be more comfortable.

"Sixth Brother, let's go first."

It's summer now, so there's no need to bring a quilt or a cotton jacket. Two sets of short-sleeved shirts are enough. It's very troublesome to go out with a lot of bags.

After his father left, Qin Dahe led everyone to move the fishing gear.

There are five fishing platforms, one of which is newly welded. I originally sold one to Mr. Wang, and this one is used as a spare.

Bring any other equipment as well.

He even cut bamboo in the bamboo forest next to his house, but only six usable bamboos were cut from the entire forest. He asked Hanwa to go to his second uncle's house to cut more bamboo, which was also an old bamboo forest and could produce more standard fishing rods.

Raw bamboo needs to be straight and old, and there are also requirements for the length. Old bamboo is more resilient. Not all bamboo can be used as a fishing rod.

Mature bamboo is more convenient. You can straighten it with bricks and dry it in the shade for a few days.

However, it is too brittle due to lack of moisture, and its waist strength is not as good as that of raw bamboo. After Qin Dahe and his friends developed the Qilin Arm, they rarely used cooked bamboo.

"Dahe, let's use a fishing rod. Didn't you say the longer the better?" Mr. Wang asked curiously.

"Fishing rods these days are rubbish. They bend like a jack of all trades to catch a ten-pound fish, and they're too slow." He said disdainfully, then continued:
"The nest we're fishing in this time is a loach nest. When the fish are good, we can just fly and hit them. There's no time to waste."

"So cool." Brother Wang's eyes showed excitement.

"Haha, the four of us did something fishy at the beginning of spring. We borrowed other people's bait and caught thousands of kilograms of fish in one day." Thinking of the scene at the beginning of spring, Qin Dahe felt very excited.

This really shocked them both. The average weight of each person was two to three hundred pounds. It was simply unimaginable.

When the big truck arrived, everyone started loading their things onto it.

This time I brought two transfer boxes to pack the miscellaneous items. Scar collected the fish on the spot, weighed them, and took them away.

However, we still brought eight giant fish guards, one for each person.

"Brother, bamboo." Hanwaer and Tiedan came over with a bunch of bamboo in their arms.

Zhaodi, Amei and Yanyan were sitting together, talking in low voices. When they saw that they were about to leave, they hurried over to see them off. The three newlywed women were a little reluctant to let them go.

"Get in the car." Qin Dahe waved to the little girl.

He followed the truck, and Erhu and Hanwaer also got on the back car.

The others were riding in cars, excitedly talking about the scene of fishing in the loach nest.

If it weren't for fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, Mr. Wang and his team would never have thought that there are people who can catch hundreds of kilograms of fish in a day. This is the ultimate dream of anglers.

"Old Wang, can we really catch that much?"

"Xiao Yan, they catch one to two hundred kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp a day. With such a big crowd today, there must be more than that." Although Mr. Wang's hands were on the steering wheel, his mind was already flying away.

He has experienced the thrill of catching predatory fish such as black carp and black bass, which is really cool.

"Yeah, we have to catch more this time."

Tiedan watched the two chatting animatedly and also interrupted to talk about the grand scene of several people making loach nests in the early spring.

"The fishing for catfish never stops at night. We can catch several 30-pound ones a day, and we also catch giant mullet."

"We're still fishing in the Yuxi River. This time we're going to the Yangtze River, there will definitely be more catches."

"Haha, that's great, I'll have a great time fishing."

When they arrived at the fish stall, Ah Hu was already waiting in his car. When he saw them, he greeted them and asked them to follow.

Turn from Yanhe Road, cross the Zhongshan Bridge on the pedestrian street and head south, all the way to Dalongwo.

It was quite far and it took us half an hour to reach a gap by the river.

Next to it is the entrance to Longwo Lake and Zhang River. After crossing the river embankment, there is a large area of shrubs and weeds.

It takes more than a hundred meters to walk from the levee to the riverside and through the weedy beach.

"It's quite remote."

"Well, there are many fishermen in busy places, so it won't last long." Ah Hu first took people down to take a look at the place.

Across the grass beach is a large open space, which is paved with wooden boards to form a simple pier. It seems that fishing boats usually dock there.

Scar must have borrowed the place temporarily to make it convenient for them to fish.

"Then the fishing platform is no longer useful." Erhu said regretfully.

The five fishing platforms weighed 200 kilograms. They were so tired that they couldn't even use them.

"If you don't need it, then don't use it. It's not the flood season yet, and we won't be able to build the fishing platform when the flood season comes." Qin Dahe shook his head.

Bringing the fishing platform is just a backup. The Yangtze River is not like the Yuxi River. When the water level rises and falls, the fishing platform cannot stand because the waves are too big.

"Ah Hu, if we catch a lot of fish here, it will be difficult to move them up every day." He said with a frown.

The car was about a hundred meters away from the levee and could not get down, so we had to rely on manpower.

"Haha, don't worry. My dad will send someone to bring the fish by boat and we can weigh it directly at the fishing spot." Ah Hu told him about the fish transportation.

The boat comes and weighs the fish directly. It does so once every morning at five o'clock. At other times, they come whenever he calls, as long as the fish are not dead.

There is a limit to the number of fish you can put in a fish basket. Once the density is too high, they will easily die.

"Okay." This method is good. You don't have to lift it onto the levee with great effort.

After visiting the loach nest, everyone went to their accommodation. We would be staying there for the next six or seven days, so we had to clean up today.

The rented farmhouse is also close, right by Longwo Lake, less than ten minutes' walk away.

A large tiled house with three rooms and a yard, with eight wooden beds placed in the main room, covered with a thin quilt. This is enough for this weather. If the weather is hotter, we will have to sleep on straw mats.

There is a well at the door, making water very convenient.

"Sixth Uncle, where is my dad?"

"We rode our bikes to get some beer and delicatessen. We said we'd celebrate the first day."

"Haha, it's time to celebrate," he said with a smile.

Then he took people to move things and put them away before starting to allocate houses.

There are three beds in each room on the left and right, and two chapters in the middle hall.

The father and his son, along with the silly kid, lived in the master bedroom on the left, while Erhu and Tiedan lived in the main room. It was only going to be for six or seven days, so they just arranged it casually.

No one brought any valuables this time. The most expensive thing was the car that Mr. Wang brought.

"Brother Wang, can you get used to it?" Cigarettes were passed around, and everyone lit them up and started chatting.

"That's nothing. When I was wandering around the world, my life was much harder than it is now." He said indifferently.

Today's first generation of rich people have really suffered a lot. You have to be prepared when luck comes. Not everyone can get rich easily.

"That's good."

He took out a notebook and started to arrange shifts for everyone.

"I'm first in line and can't wait any longer." Mr. Wang said anxiously.

He couldn't even walk when he went to the river just now. He must be very fat after three days of feeding his cats.

"Okay, you and I will be in the same group. Brother Yan, and Hanwaer, there are four of us in one class." He turned to look at Erhu and the others.

"You've all fished before, so I won't go into details. I'll teach Uncle Six more."

"I know." Everyone nodded, and their expressions became excited when they thought of the scene of fishing in the loach nest last time.

"Let us be the first class, otherwise we won't be able to sleep at night."

"That's right. Or should we go fishing together?"

Well, these people can’t wait any longer.
