Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 249

"I let them fish every night, and no one will go during the day. My son will watch over them. What do you think?" Having said this, there is no point in saying anything more. It all depends on what the other party chooses.

There was silence on the phone.

"Are you looking for a loach nest?" How could the old fisherman not know about loach nests? People have been doing this for a long time, using loaches to gather fish and then setting up a net array.

"Ah."

"Those idiots in Zhanghe actually dared to let people build a loach nest at the door, haha." The other party sneered.

"Okay, I agree to this, but I'm going to the Black Sand Island Club during the day. It's okay for me to pass by while trawling the net and check out the place."

Scar's forehead furrowed when he heard this, but he had no choice but to agree.

He had no choice but to agree. He didn't even dare to let Qin Dahe and the others go fishing during the day. If another group of people came, the fishing spot would be ruined.

We still need to appease Ruan Laowu and give him more benefits.

This loach nest is profitable, but the risk is too great.

He thought in frustration that he would not do it next time. Professionals should do professional things, and he could make a lot of money just by collecting fish.

No wonder no one does it even though it's so profitable.

Just collecting the loaches takes a lot of effort. We have to go to various towns and villages to find and transport the goods. More than a thousand kilograms of loaches are not so easy to buy. There are only that many in several vegetable markets in the city, and there are not many in the big markets either.

Not many people are raising loaches now, so we can only rely on those who use ground traps to catch some.

Thinking of the cost of this time, he smiled bitterly. He made money, but not much.

Unless the next three days go smoothly, I may not earn as much as Qin Dahe and the others.

The summer evening was still very hot. A group of people dragged their fishing gear towards the river with difficulty, sweat pouring down their bodies.

It is not easy to walk on the grass beach, the water is deep and shallow. It took a lot of effort for everyone to bring all the fishing gear over.

The two buckets of loaches weigh almost 100 kilograms, which is not a lot. Even if you divide it among seven people, it is not much.

There are also seven giant fish baskets and five scoop nets, which are incredibly heavy. If there weren't so many people, we really wouldn't be able to handle them.

Now the father and son have put their catches together. They have to take turns to look after the house, so it would be a waste to bring an extra fish guard.

"It's such a waste to buy those umbrellas. They are useless after just one day. Let Dahe try to return them tomorrow." Qin's father complained.

We can’t fish during the day now, so the four big umbrellas are of no use at all.

"I probably can't retreat."

"Forget it. If we really can't return it, we can use it when we go fishing in the future." Erhu comforted.

The brothers often go out fishing, and the fishing umbrella should have been arranged long ago.

At this time, Qin Dahe was still sleeping in the yard, so he naturally couldn't hear it.

"That guy is afraid of the sun, so he won't go out fishing during the day."

"That's right, haha. I pack my bags tightly every day when I go fishing." Mr. Wang said with a smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard this and started to complain, saying that there were really no rural people wearing sun-protective clothing and they were so bored.

When they arrived at the place, they started to tie the fishing lines. The bamboo poles were all cut by Qin Dahe in the village in the afternoon.

The raw bamboo was full of water and very heavy. The silly kid carried a large bundle of bamboo of both long and short lengths to the riverside.

If you are fishing along the edge, use the short one. If you are waiting for big fish, use the long one outside the pier. It depends on your preference.

After protecting the fish, we started to distribute the loaches, and each person got about ten pounds and placed them at their feet.

"You don't need to bring this landing net at night."

"Yeah, we're flying the whole way, hehe."

"There are big fish." The silly kid shook his head.

As long as it is a mandarin fish, he will use a scoop net to catch it, even if it weighs six or seven kilograms. He would be heartbroken if such an expensive fish got away.

It was time to start fishing. It was not yet completely dark, but the fish were already biting like crazy, and Erhu was bitten as soon as he went down.

Father Qin was not in a hurry to go fishing. He lit a cigarette and looked at the river around him.

The nearest ship was a cargo ship, so heavy that the waterline was pressed to the edge of the ship.

There was also a trawler parked next to the signal barrel a few hundred meters away, and no one knew what was going on.

From such a distance, it looked like just a tiny dot, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

I went to the side and put some water in it, then came back and started fishing with ease.

Mr. Wang got bored of fishing because he wanted to catch big black carp, but he was annoyed that he couldn't fish during the day.

"Old Yang, didn't you just catch two small catfish? Lend them to me."

"Okay, you want to go and guard the big black carp?" He smiled and pulled up the fish basket. There were not many fish now, and the two small catfish could be taken out with some effort.

"What the hell, we have to catch big fish. What's the point of catching small catfish every day?" He curled his lips.

Use one end of a three-hook to pierce the jaw of the catfish from the outside, and then tighten it with thin wire to prevent the fish from escaping.

After three days of playing with loaches, he has some experience. As long as he knows how to twist, he can catch fish with anything.

The bigmouth catfish is also very hot when twisted, which is more than enough to be used as bait.

At this time, his fishing rod was also replaced with a six-meter long one. He hung it up and threw it out directly.

The small catfish on the hook fled frantically, but was held tightly by the No. 30 line and could not escape.

Mr. Wang held the fishing rod with both hands, ready to cast at any time.

Last time, Qin Dahe couldn't hold the rod upright, so he had to hold it horizontally for forty or fifty minutes, and his arm was almost broken.

How could he make such a mistake now? He would reel in the fish as soon as the rod made a big movement.

Don't worry about the little movement, the catfish on it is still twisting.

Maybe it was because the bait was too big, so he waited for seven or eight minutes. When he was about to relax, the fishing rod suddenly sank.

"Ce, the goods are here, haha." He started to pick up the fishing rod excitedly.

Because I fish for silver carp and bighead carp more often, I have some experience in dealing with these big fish.

After the pole was upright, I felt relieved. I took a deep breath and started trying to pull it out by force.

This is to test whether the fish below is big. If it is not big, there is no need to waste time reeling in the fish, and you can just call someone over to scoop it up.

Although there was some resistance, it took five minutes for the fish to surface.

"Ce, it's a good deal to use a small catfish to catch a big catfish." He chuckled, and Lao Yang helped him scoop up the fish.

A large catfish weighing about 30 kilograms is a valuable commodity.

"Awesome, this fish is enough."

"That's not enough, keep going." Mr. Wang excitedly went to hook another small catfish. The previous one had been bitten to death.

The barbed teeth of the catfish are very powerful, and dead catfish cannot be used as bait.

I cast the rod again, and unexpectedly caught another fish ten minutes later.

Now Qin's father and the others could no longer sit still and began to turn over the small catfish. Is this thing so good at catching big fish?

However, there were only five hooks in the three sets, so the silly kid didn't go over. Brother Yang had given the small catfish to someone else, so he had no bait and couldn't do anything. He could only watch them play.

You don’t know until you fish it, and you will find out how useful this little catfish is.

Apart from having to wait a little longer for a bite, catching big catfish and big black carp is a unique way to do it.

It will take a few minutes at the shortest and twenty minutes at the longest, and you will definitely get a bite. In addition to playing with the fish, it will take at most half an hour to catch a big one, which is extremely efficient.

Of course, making money is similar to fishing for small fish, or even worse than fishing for small fish.

The silly kid just looked at them with envy, then silently took out his little catfish and gave it to Qin's father.

If Grandpa wants to catch some, just give it to him. Small catfish are cheap anyway. "Son, catch a few more for me. I'll give you a big one later, haha." The old man laughed heartily.

He just caught a 40-pound alligator, and he felt so good.

It turns out that it’s not that there are no big fish, but that their loaches are not as attractive as the small catfish in the water, so they naturally cannot be caught.

Erhu and Tiedan took a break after fishing for two hours because they had used up all the small catfish and had to come back to continue fishing.

They don’t care, as long as they have fun, they can make money by catching small fish anyway.

I'll go back and fish after I've collected a few here.

At twelve o'clock, Qin Dahe brought over some midnight snacks and took over Qin's father's shift.

When I learned about their heroic deeds, I was also very jealous.

Since the small catfish is so powerful, I must try it myself.

Today's midnight snack is noodles and rice with mandarin fish meat and eggs, as well as a handful of vegetables. It tastes very delicious.

Everyone eats meat and fish every day, and they have had a great time during this period.

After dinner, Qin's father carried his bowl and chopsticks and went back reluctantly.

Someone has to stay in the yard to watch over him, otherwise he really wants to fish all night long.

"Kid, are there any more catfish?"

"Brother, no more." The kid shook his head.

I gave all my small catfish to my grandfather, and the smallest one left weighed four or five kilograms.

Qin Dahe thought about it and thought that if there was a giant creature below, a catfish weighing four or five kilograms would probably eat it too.

The mouth of the catfish is famously large, and it is possible for it to swallow four or five kilograms of its own kind.

He took out a catfish weighing about four pounds from his own fish basket and hung it on the hook. Erhu and the others' eyelids twitched when they saw it.

This fish costs fifty or sixty yuan, it’s really worth it.

Qin Dahe didn't care. He was sure to make money on this trip and would get paid tomorrow.

I hung the fish securely and threw it down directly. The four-pound catfish made a big splash in the water.

From the moment the bait hits the water, it keeps running and the rod is constantly moving.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, holding the rod with one hand in a pretentious manner.

Just quietly looking at the water, a gust of river breeze blew by, so cool.

"Ce, you've forgotten the pain after biting someone. If you can't get up, the rod will hit your eggs." Tiedan said speechlessly.

It is cool to hold the rod with one hand, but it is also difficult to get up after catching a fish.

"I know, I'm just trying to look cool, haha!" Qin Dahe took a deep puff of the half-smoked Red Nanjing cigarette and threw it away.

Then hold the rod with both hands and wait carefully, and raise the rod as soon as a fish comes.

It is best to fish for black carp, with a long line and a vertical rod, which is easy.

You can even stand the rod upright and wait for fish, as long as the line set is long enough.

Maybe a lot of big fish were caught, and apart from the movements of the catfish itself, there was no movement below.

On the contrary, the silly kids behind him caught fish frequently, and Mr. Wang and his partner went back to catch small catfish. There was no point in catching anything without small catfish.

Qin Dahe was not in a hurry and just waited. Fifteen minutes later, he pulled the catfish up and took a look at it. It was exhausted.

Then I changed the catfish and put it in. As long as it didn’t die, I could still sell it in the morning.

"Brother, come and fish." The kid couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Brother, you are wasting your time making money. You might as well come back and fish.

"Haha, don't worry about me. I'll come back if I don't go up." He said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the fishing line shot out with a whoosh. He subconsciously raised the rod, but he didn't expect it to only be raised at a forty-five degree angle.

"Oh my god, a sneak attack." He stepped on the end of the fishing rod with his foot and struggled to lift the rod with his upper hand.

"It's huge, haha." Qin Dahe shouted excitedly.

Although the pole couldn't stand upright at this moment, there was no tug-of-war, so I could barely protect the line.

When the big fish changed direction, he took the opportunity to stand the rod upright and finally felt a little more relaxed.

"I've really caught a fish."

"Fuck, with four or five pounds of bait, this fish must be so big."

Everyone was stunned immediately. They didn't expect that he would actually guard it.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Wang immediately started to flip the fish basket and found a four-jin fish and hung it up.

I've already caught enough small fish, how can I not catch big fish?

The situation on Qin Dahe's side has become extremely tense, and the big fish is actually jumping into the water to wash its gills.

Fortunately, even the three hooks have barbs, so it will take some time to break free.

At the moment of washing its gills, you can see a white belly in the dim light. It is undoubtedly the catfish.

I didn't expect that I could catch two giant catfish during a trip to the Yangtze River. I am so awesome.

He praised himself happily in his heart, holding on tightly with his hands, enduring the pain even though it was a little painful.

Tiedan looked at him enviously. He had just gotten married and had to focus on making money. He had already wasted a lot of time in the first half of the night. He couldn't go gambling on the big fish now.

He also saw the process of Qin Dahe catching the fish just now. It takes a long time to wait for the fish to bite.

And there are not only bigmouth catfish, but also big sturgeon.

Fewer alligators are caught at night, not because alligators don’t eat bait, but because catfish come out and cover the alligator’s mouth.

If you wait for half an hour and catch a big black carp, you will lose money.

Forty minutes later, after failing to catch any catfish after trying three more, Mr. Wang had no choice but to go back and continue fishing for small catfish.

A four or five pound catfish bait is still too big, and you won’t find a giant fish that can eat it anywhere.

Qin Dahe is still competing. This catfish is almost the same size as yesterday's, at the level of a river lord.

Wash the cheeks again, and a white belly will appear.

"Erhu, get ready."

"Here it comes." Erhu hurried to get the scoop net.

Don’t even think about catching fish with the giant fish itself, unless you use steel bars and thin wire to fish, otherwise the fish will definitely escape.

I don't know how many people go fishing alone in the wild to catch a big fish, but they can't catch it. That's a pity.

Walking slowly backwards, the fish began to be forced to the surface. The No. 30 fishing line is still very powerful. Look, this fish is a little smaller than yesterday's and there is no way it can escape.

The moment his line loosened, Erhu accurately scooped up the fish.

The brothers often go out to catch big fish and they are very familiar with each other.

"Take a picture for me, haha." Qin Dahe was happy when he thought that his father didn't catch any big fish this time.

Those two big blue carps were showing off every day, but finally they got humiliated.

The headlights flipped, he went to the shore to pick up the catfish, and took another photo happily.

"The two catfish are exactly the same. It's a waste to take two photos." Mr. Wang said sourly.

There was a big alligator in his fish basket, which was caught by someone else.
