Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 241

"Today's loaches were released this morning. You can't catch them now. Don't worry." He comforted everyone.

"Put your clothes and things away first, have some wine and sleep later, and then we'll do it in the evening."

He put out his cigarette and finished the work schedule in his hand. He was going to start charging flashlights, batteries and other things. He was about to get down to work, so he had to be prepared.

When we were drinking at noon, Scar brought Ah Hu over and drank two bottles with us.

Tell them that if they have any problems in the future, they can call Ah Hu, who will be there at any time. He is also the one who comes to collect the fish every day.

Scarface left two packs of cigarettes, Qin Dahe bought a lot for himself, and even Mr. Wang prepared a few packs of cigarettes in the trunk.

It’s okay to skip a meal, but it’s not okay for a group of old smokers to go without food.

Everyone finished five boxes of beer in one meal and then went back to their beds to sleep.

In other words, they drank a lot of beer, otherwise no one would be able to hold back now.

I slept until after four o'clock, and when I woke up I started preparing the headlights and light stands in a hurry.

"Daha, shall we play for a while?" Erhu didn't want to rest.

"It doesn't matter. It's an eight-hour shift anyway. Just don't let me down when the time comes."

There are two shifts of three people working, and each shift lasts eight hours before people take turns working. This way, people don't have to work for twelve hours, and it's a little more relaxing.

Of course, this won’t work in the long run.

A group of people went to the riverside in a mighty manner. They were exhausted just from transporting things.

All eight fish guards were thrown down, but the dock was one and a half meters above the water surface and could only be placed on the side of the walkway behind him.

Install the headlights and adjust the angle after dark.

Since I was fishing with a dumb rod, there was no need to watch the float, and I didn't even bring a spotlight this time.

"I'm using a 10+8 line rig. This time I'm going for the good stuff, so I don't mind if a big croaker or something gets away."

"Where are the hooks? Double hooks?"

"Just use a single hook. It's more convenient when fly fishing."

No lead or float, just tie it to the main line.

Mr. Wang couldn't wait to hook the loach. He had never experienced fishing with loach before.

The others were in a similar situation. They had packed up their things and lined up the retractable benches. The ten-meter-long dock was packed.

Qin's father didn't come, so he had to stay at home to look after the house and let the hired old woman start cooking.

"I'll go back and get you some food. You guys go ahead and fish first. The second shift tonight is at three in the morning. Erhu, after you play for a while, remember to go back and rest."

"I know, let's have some fun first." Erhu didn't even turn his head back, the bait had already been thrown, and he could catch fish at any time.

Before he even walked out of the grass beach, he heard several loud shouts from behind, probably because they caught a fish.

In three days of fishing, we caught 900 kilograms of loaches, and there will be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This kind of fishing is considered a big deal even in the Yangtze River. The loaches must be very fat.

When I returned to the yard, the meal was ready: braised pork with pickled vegetables and a serving of braised loach, but no vegetables.

However, people nowadays are not short of vitamins, but they are short of oil and water. Qin Dahe is very satisfied with the meal arrangement.

"Auntie, is this house yours?" Qin Dahe smiled as he watched Auntie prepare meals for them, and asked them to add more rice, as they were all big eaters.

"Yes, I'm staying at my sister's house. You guys can take care of the house."

"Where are the family members?"

"The old man passed away unexpectedly at the construction site. Scar was the one who asked for compensation. He only has one son left who is studying at Jinling University."

Qin Dahe nodded slightly when he heard this. It was good that there was some cause and effect between him and Scar Master, so that he could feel more at ease.

Moreover, this yard is relatively remote, so it would be best if no one disturbs it.

He pulled a large blue note from his pocket and handed it over.

"How can I take your money?" Auntie pushed it away quickly. Scarface had already given the money.

"We are a bunch of grown men and we don't even have the luxury of living here. You can take this. You have a child who is going to school, and you will have plenty of places to spend money in the future."

When the aunt heard about the child, she politely accepted the money.

Eight men stayed there for six or seven days, and it took them half a day to clean up the house after they left. Qin Dahe still had some self-awareness.

This is just a favor, otherwise she would never rent her house to eight men no matter how much money she offered.

After chatting with Auntie, I learned that she cooks three meals a day for everyone and also helps them wash clothes.

This is really hard work. No matter how much Scar gives, I have to show my appreciation.

After packing up the food, they began to deliver it to a few fanatics by the river, while Qin's father had a simple meal in the house.

He actually wanted to go fishing, but since he was going out with his son, he couldn't do what he wanted. He had to look after the house first.

When we arrived at the fishing spot, we could hear Mr. Wang and Uncle Liu shouting from a distance. We had never experienced such fishing conditions before.

It’s bound to be a catch within two minutes of throwing, it’s so cool.

"How is it?" Qin Dahe took out the food with a smile and started eating.

You know what, the braised pork with pickles tastes really good. Although there is no lard, there is still a lot of rapeseed oil.

"Great, haha, I've caught three black carp and one black bass in just a short while." Mr. Wang said happily and came over to eat.

Since the fishing situation will continue, let's eat first. Only when we are full will we have the strength to work. Other friends who didn't catch any fish also came to eat.

"Brother Yan, what about you?"

Brother Yan hurriedly turned around and said, "Two big ones," and then went back to fishing. He was really happy.

Eight people traveled a long way to fish in a loach nest. This was the first time we experienced this kind of team fishing, and it was very exciting.

After a while, Qin Dahe put down his food and helped him pull up a catfish weighing more than eight kilograms.

The Yangtze River must have more large catfish than the Yuxi River, and they are particularly large. It was getting dark at this time, and with the headlights on, a group of people were having a lively meal under the lights by the river, bragging from time to time, and they were very happy.

"Dahe, this loach nest is really effective. Let's go back and build one in Yuxi River." Mr. Wang said excitedly.

"I'll take the loach. It's only a few thousand yuan."

"This thing can only be done in the Yangtze River. If you make such a heavy nest in the Yuxi River, you won't be able to fish for the whole year." Qin Dahe smiled and shook his head.

"Old Chen and the others will definitely give you trouble if they know this, haha."

"That's it, then forget it."

The food was delicious and everyone had a full stomach.

Then he started smoking, and Qin Dahe took out the Nanjing cigarettes and started to distribute them. He didn't care about the small amount of money for cigarettes, as he made the most money this time.

Everyone smoked cigarettes and sat by the river, looking at the lights on the other side.

The night wind blows gently, and it feels very comfortable on my body.

Everyone was smoking and imagining how many fish they would catch. Qin Dahe joined in the fun and started a competition.

"From the first day until the end, whoever has the highest total catch will get a Nanjing fish at the end."

"Okay, haha, let's have a competition."

"Row."

Everyone immediately became excited, not because of the cigarette, but because the competitive spirit among the men was aroused.

"Let's put it this way, let's get started."

"Let's do it."

Qin Dahe found a bamboo pole and started tying the fishing line. He casually hung a loach on it and started throwing it.

The dock here is more than one meter away from the river surface. The fishing rods are tilted downward, and everyone is leaning on the wooden boards at the edge of the dock, without even using a bracket.

Raw bamboo poles are durable and there is no need to worry about damaging the poles.

"Fishing."

"Fishing."

He had just put the bait into the water when he started to load the bait.

I didn't take it to heart, just sat there quietly and lit another cigarette.

With the tip of the rod moving, he raised his hand to hook the fish, and a two-pound sea bass flew up.

He took the fish off the hook with a cigarette in his mouth, stood up, walked back two steps, and threw it into his fish basket.

Everyone has their own fish basket, which makes it easier to calculate the weight.

"Did you catch any mandarin fish?" he asked casually and continued casting his rod.

"No." Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, this time it's all about the bigmouth catfish and the black carp." Qin Dahe said disappointedly.

When I was looking for loach nests in the Yuxi River, the mandarin fish were the big ones, and one or two hundred kilograms a day was worth several thousand yuan.

However, mandarin fish and black carp in the Yangtze River are not considered top predatory fish, so it is normal to have fewer of them.

The place where they bait their nests is the mouth of a big river. There is also a Longwo Lake nearby to take other freshwater fish into consideration.

The fishing rod moved again, he raised his hand and stabbed the fish. The bamboo rod weighing more than two kilograms was lifted up effortlessly, and it was another sea bass.

The four brothers have been using raw bamboo poles for a long time, and their arms have been trained to be as strong as dragon arms. The muscles in their forearms are extremely developed, and everyone's fishing movements are very smooth.

Especially the silly kid, his arms are so thick that it's scary.

While he was fishing for sea bass, the silly kid caught a large catfish weighing more than four pounds with one hand, and he was holding a handful of fish.

"Cena, you are really strong." Mr. Wang raised his eyelids. These four brothers are so powerful.

He has to use both hands to catch the fish; it's too hard with one hand.

"Haha, the kid can carry more than 200 kilograms of fish for a long distance by himself." Qin Dahe said with a smile and cast the rod again.

It’s still better to fish in loach nests, it’s more exciting than fishing for silver carp and bighead carp.

Even though the temperature has dropped to 27 or 28 degrees, no one feels cold.

He fished until eight o'clock and caught forty kilograms of fish in that hour, which was simply exaggerated.

Most of them are sea bass and catfish, and Erhu catches more black carp here.

After checking the time, he began to urge a few people to go back to bed.

"Come and take over at three in the morning, everyone go back and get some rest."

"Let's fish for a while longer. I won't be able to sleep if I go back now."

"Yes."

Qin Dahe was a little speechless. Forget it, just ignore them.

Anyway, it was my first day here fishing, so I definitely had the energy to stay up late. I even took a nap in the afternoon.

He called home and told Yanyan to go to bed early and wait for him to come back.

I've made several calls today to let people know I'm safe, but there are only two women at home.

I hadn't originally planned to bring my dad along, but with the silly kid here, we can definitely handle it if we split the shifts into two.

But my dad also wants to come out and play, so I have to take him along and let him watch over the other class.

　The recommended position is still quite strong, with 16,000 new subscriptions on the 15th, hehe
