Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 243

"Scar, where is the driving school I asked you to contact? I'll go sign up and the car will be back soon."

"It's in the south of the city. Go find a man named Master Jiang. I've already greeted him. Just tell him my name." As he said that, he turned to look at his son.

"Ah Hu, take Da He for a run to familiarize himself with the route."

"Coming." Ah Hu was moving fish, and when he saw his father calling him, he went to wash his hands.

Then he rode a small electric scooter and took Qin Dahe to the Chengnan Driving School.

When we arrived at the place, we saw a two-story cement house, which was quite dilapidated. The driving test hall was on the first floor, and there were a few green trees planted in front of the hall.

"Dahe. From here, ride your bike west to the riverbank, then follow the levee to Longwo Lake. You know that, right?"

"I know. You'll get familiar with it after one trip." Qin Dahe nodded.

The Linjiang Bridge has not been built yet. When it is built, you can just take Changjiang Road south to get there. I am quite familiar with the main road of Jiuzhi.

After a simple calculation of the distance, I realized that going to Longwo Lake is even farther than walking from Scar Ye's side.

After Ah Hu left, he went straight into the driving test hall.

In the empty hall, there were only two staff members sitting at the front desk, and the rest area next to it was almost entirely occupied by coaches enjoying the air conditioning and drinking tea.

The registration process was very quick. He only needed to take a simple eyesight test. After paying the fee, he was given a manual for Subject 1 on the spot.

When assigning coaches, Qin Dahe took the initiative to request to be assigned to Master Jiang. A short and fat man nearby immediately came over when he heard it.

"Qin Dahe?"

"Well, Scar asked me to come to you." He said politely and stuffed a packet into his hand.

"Okay, register it under my name." He helped to register the coach's information.

Then he took Qin Dahe to sit in the rest area, where there was air conditioning. Outside the window was a huge driving field where many students were practicing driving under the scorching sun.

The sun was a bit strong at noon, but the training car was an old Santana and the air conditioner was notoriously cold, so it wasn't uncomfortable.

Driving school instructors are still very popular nowadays. Qin Dahe studied at the Chengbei Driving School in his previous life, around 04/05. In addition to the registration fee, he spent an extra thousand yuan.

Because there are very few people learning to drive a car now, most of them come from well-off families and are ready to buy a car before coming to learn, and these people are willing to give gifts.

Learning without paying is really slow. Everything is done to accommodate those who recharge, unless you practice in driving school every day.

Some people take crooked paths and buy a driver's license directly. What they sell you is a genuine one, and you just need to go home and practice driving.

Qin Dahe didn't dare to do that. If he was caught, he would be in trouble. It wouldn't take much time for him to come and learn by himself.

"Master Jiang, please arrange for me to take the Subject 1 exam tomorrow." He sat beside him with a smile and directly took out 500 yuan in cash and stuffed it into the other person's pocket.

You have to be straightforward. We are all low-class people. If you play those tricks, people will think you are crazy.

"Hey, we're all family, there's no need to be so formal." The coach was a little surprised to see Qian Weiwei. Usually, he would start from the second subject.

But he still put the money into his pocket.

Qin Dahe had no choice. Although he had a good relationship with Scarface, he still had to pay the money. How could he just ask Scarface to do him a favor?

“Can I take the test right after receiving the manual?”

"I know all the traffic rules. I just need to go back and review them. I can drive, too. I just want to speed up."

"Okay, there's an exam here tomorrow at 2pm. I'll register you now. Just come over at 1:30pm with your ID and pen." He said indifferently.

There is no time limit for exams now. As long as you have completed a certain number of class hours for subjects two and three, you can take the exam at any time.

There are few items to check, and the penalties are judged by the naked eye. As long as you behave well, it is not easy to get a driver's license.

The two went to the driving test hall next door to register for tomorrow's test, and Qin Dahe chatted with the coach for a while.

He said that he was busy and asked for more class time for Subject 2.

We are only talking about the second subject here, and the 500 just now was also for the second subject.

You have to take the test again for subject three, and you can get your driver's license directly after passing subject three.

"Okay, you know what you're doing. After you finish the test tomorrow, come over the day after tomorrow morning and let me take a look at your driving." The coach said worriedly.

Although we are doing the job for money, we cannot let the road killer go. We have to watch him drive the car at least twice.

"Okay, thank you, coach."

I felt relieved after finishing the coach's matter.

After coming out of the driving school, I hopped on my motorcycle and headed to the long street.

The sun is very strong now, so he bought four large umbrellas like those used by small vendors, with steel pipes inserted directly in the middle. They are quite heavy.

I bought them for 140 yuan a bunch and put them on the bed of a motorcycle tricycle before returning to Longwo Lake.

When we arrived, the glaring sun was scorching the grass beach, but fortunately, the wind was strong by the river.

I dragged four large umbrellas to the riverside with difficulty and saw some bird eggs on the way.

"Kid, help me hold the umbrella."

"Here I come, brother." The silly kid immediately stepped forward to help.

Everyone can't stand the sun anymore. Today the temperature has returned to around 34 or 35 degrees Celsius. Who can stand the sun?

After placing the four large umbrellas, they were secured with some ropes.

"Dad, come home this afternoon and bring over the big bull from Erhu's family and the two from your home." It was very fast to go back on a motorcycle tricycle.

"Now with the dog?"

"Well, bring the dog here after it's settled. I'll re-arrange the shifts and just leave someone on duty at noon. The sun can be a bit hot." He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I didn't expect the temperature in Jiuzi City to be so hot. It dropped to 34 or 35 degrees Celsius right after the rain. If we continue to dry it for two days, it will definitely be 37 or 38 degrees Celsius. There's no point in fishing at noon.

"We'll work in two shifts, fishing until 11 a.m. and starting at 3 p.m. every day. We'll just have to let it go for four hours at noon, but we have to leave someone to watch the fish and release the dogs."

"That's right. If it's too hot at noon, something bad could happen." Father Qin nodded.

Not everyone can handle the heat, and fishing for ten hours a day is easier.

It was almost eleven o'clock at this time, and we had to wait for the shift change to re-arrange it.

"Baby, when did you come here to fish this morning?"

"Eight o'clock."

"Ce, you are really motivated. From now on, we will take turns on duty. You can work more shifts if you want to fish more."

"Well, thank you, brother." The silly kid was overjoyed when he heard that.

There are not many opportunities to earn one or two thousand yuan a day, so sleeping seven or eight hours a day is enough.

The father and son looked at each other and sighed that their child was really able to endure hardships.

When Mr. Wang and his companion came over with the food, Qin Dahe announced the re-division of the shift schedule.

"The shift is changing at one o'clock this morning. Are you going to fish for the first half of the night or the second half?"

At this time, everyone gathered together, discussed it, and regrouped.

Qin's father brought his sixth uncle and Mr. Wang and the other three to go fishing in the early morning. After all, they are old and cannot stay up late every day.

Qin Dahe and his four companions went fishing in the afternoon before the Lunar New Year. The lunchtime staff also came from here; at least the young people could handle the heat. "Dahe, if I woke up early in the morning, I'd come over and fish too," Mr. Wang said with a smile.

He didn't feel tired. Instead, he felt that this time was very enjoyable. He had a really great time fishing last night and he was even fishing wildly in his dreams.

"Okay, feel free to fish longer if you want." He said with a smile.

Anyway, the more you work, the more you earn, and it's fun.

If I do it for another two days, I guess the addiction will be gone.

"Erhu, after dinner, you and Tiedan go to bed first. Come over at four in the evening and fish until the early morning."

"Okay, then how do Brother Wang and the others arrange it?"

"Brother Yan, Brother Wang, you can go back to sleep after fishing until four in the afternoon, and then come back in the early morning, okay?"

Changing shifts is troublesome, and the four young ones have to stay up for several more hours.

"Sure, it's okay to fish for a while longer." The two nodded.

After things were settled, everyone started eating.

Lunch was catfish, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

"It's so damn delicious. I have to eat it tonight." Erhu sighed, took out a catfish from his fish basket and threw it directly onto the grass beach, indicating that he would eat it tonight.

"There are a lot of good stuff here, including mandarin fish and black carp. We have no shortage of fish to eat, haha." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

"Dan'er, catch another mandarin fish. We can have two tonight." Erhu looked at Tiedan. He didn't catch any mandarin fish in the morning.

"Okay." Tiedan was not stingy. He had to take a commission from the fish he caught anyway, so it would be great to just eat them.

Qin Dahe didn't care about these. If he paid a few dollars less in commission, he could eat a few more bites. He could eat whatever he wanted. He picked up a piece of catfish belly, which was delicious.

The gelatin that melts in your mouth is perfect when paired with a mouthful of rice.

"It's delicious, haha. Let's bring some back for our family to try when we get home."

Everyone nodded immediately. These fish were not available in the town because they were not allowed to cast nets in the river section of their town.

After dinner, Qin's father took his men back to rest, and they started fishing.

"Wait, did you get any big shipments this morning?"

"Yes." Silly boy pointed at Erhu's fish basket. "A big black carp."

Qin Dahe pulled the fish basket out of curiosity and saw a huge black carp with a scary-looking big yellow head.

"Cena, it's so big?" He was a little surprised. It must be at least 80 kilograms. Damn, that bastard Erhu was really patient. He didn't even say anything when everyone gathered together.

Mr. Wang and his friends nearby heard the noise and came over. They were very excited to see such a big black carp.

"How can you catch this? Can the line withstand it?" Brother Yan asked curiously.

"The strength of the black carp is not too great, it cannot be compared with the silver carp, bighead carp and mandarin fish, but it is also very powerful." Qin Dahe exclaimed.

A 10+8 line set and a fish weighing more than kilograms were cut into pieces without any carefulness. It seems that Erhu's fishing skills have improved a lot.

"Dahe, I want to change to a thicker one to get bigger goods, is that okay?" Mr. Wang said excitedly.

The Yangtze River is so amazing that it can catch such a big fish. He has never heard of anyone catching an 80-jin alligator.

"Okay, let's catch a giant mantis and spend some money to have it stuffed. It'll look better than any other ornament on the boss's desk."

"Haha, then I want to fish even more. If not, I'll just take this fish." Mr. Wang laughed heartily. Thinking of the giant alligator as an ornament, his heart was warmed.

Qin Dahe nodded. The black carp was not worth much. If he wanted to take it, he could just say hello to Scar Master.

Then everyone started fishing in earnest. It was comfortable with an umbrella.

There is no sun and there is wind, so it’s not that hot.

Qin Dahe secretly changed his fishing line to a thirty-pull-thirty ratio, as he also wanted to catch a big fish.

Except for Hanwaer, everyone else changed, but Mr. Wang and his team took smaller steps and changed to the No. 18 line set.

He directly hung a big loach on the No. 30 line set, as it would be boring to hang a small loach.

An 80-jin alligator can be worth one or two hundred yuan. Although it is a waste of time, you can earn several times more by catching other small fish instead of playing with the fish.

Unexpectedly, the thick line group did not even have a problem. The predatory fish underwater were so engrossed in the food that they didn't care whether there was a line behind them or not.

If you encounter a ten-pound black carp, just pull it out.

The line won’t break, the rod is more resistant, and it won’t be a problem at all.

"One hook opens the sky, haha." Another eight-jin black carp came and flew directly to the fish, so arrogant.

It is a fisherman’s dream to catch a big fish by fishing at the Tianmen Open Gate. I didn’t expect that it would finally come true today.

When they saw Qin Dahe flying ashore, they could no longer sit still.

"Dahe, what number of wire sets did you change?"

"Haha, thirty-thirty, the fishing is still as wild as ever," he laughed.

"Ce, why didn't you say so earlier?" Mr. Wang and Brother Yan went to change the fishing line while cursing. They were really not human beings to secretly change such a thick line.

Even the silly kid looked at him resentfully.

Big brother is so mean. If he had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have to be so careful when fishing. Time is money now. You can catch fish worth hundreds of dollars every hour.

Using a No. 30 line set, fish weighing less than ten pounds can be forced to float to the surface, and then scooped up.

Of course, they were still a little worried about catching an eight-jin fish like him. If the rod tip broke, it would be a waste of time and effort.

"I've never fished in the Yangtze River, so how would I know the fish conditions are completely different from those in the Yuxi River." Qin Dahe chuckled, put a loach on the hook and cast the rod again.

To be honest, in my previous life, the anglers in Anhui, who owned the Yangtze River system, had never fished in any of these big rivers. It was quite a shame.

This trip to the Yangtze River was a complete joy. I caught an eight-jin fish and it was truly terrifying.

No matter how awesome the giant fishing rods of later generations are, their maximum fishing force is only five or six kilograms, which is not as awesome as raw bamboo.

Of course, only this kind of raw bamboo can withstand being soaked in water. Ordinary shade-dried bamboo will probably break directly.

After changing the line, Mr. Wang and his friends also followed his example and fished for Kaitianmen.

I had a lot of fun flying with fish weighing five or six pounds, and my efficiency actually improved. I even formed a habit of flying as soon as I saw the fish, and then slipping away when I couldn't fly anymore.

However, after Brother Yan experienced a broken rod, they became more restrained.

"Why did it break?" He went to change the fishing rod in frustration. He had just caught a big mandarin fish weighing more than ten pounds, and now its leg was broken.

At least two or three hundred yuan worth of fish were lost, and he got eighty or ninety yuan as share.

Qin Dahe and the others also felt secretly sorry, as a mandarin fish weighing more than ten kilograms was considered very large.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ah Hu drove over in a boat and started collecting fish.

Everyone stopped fishing and came over to help weigh the fish.

When he saw Erhu's big alligator, he was shocked.
