Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 25 Trustworthy

The next morning, Qin's father drove to the town with an empty car on the pretext that he was familiar with driving.

No one took his car, at least they had to wait for him to make a few trips back and forth.

Qin Dahe and Hanwaer started working in the fish pond in the morning. Water had been put in from the big lake and filtered through a fine net.

The last time Silly Boy went back home he brought back some fish, so his grandmother asked him to come and help whenever he was free.

Because of his stuttering, the flower-making factory didn't want him to carry bags, and apart from working on the two acres of land every day, he had nothing to do.

The land contracted by his family was even less than that of Qin Dahe's family. Later, a small piece of the land was taken away by his cousin, and the remaining land was only enough to ensure that people would not starve to death.

I usually put out some eel cages, but now that autumn has arrived, it’s hard to catch eels, so I often just sit at home and do nothing.

Not everyone can set up a shrimp cage. His home is a short distance away from the Yuxi River, and this short distance prevents him from setting up the net, as it will definitely be stolen.

Many idle men who have nothing to do would search along the river with sticks. As long as there was a net, they would set it up to see if there was anything fishy. Few people could keep the net down for a long time.

Even Qin's father had his things stolen from him a few times and had even been in fights a few times, so these idiots didn't dare to steal his family's internet.

Although the old man practiced the dealer's moves, he was ruthless and had a high seniority among the Qin family. Others didn't dare to do it to him after one or two times.

The fool doesn't have that ability, so he can only catch some eels in wild ponds and rivers. It's okay in summer, as he can always make some income by adding some traps. But it becomes difficult in autumn, as it takes a lot of oil to cook those small fish.

Many times, farmers can get fish if they want, the key is the time cost and the sales issue.

The round-trip fare to town is three dollars, so you have to get fish worth dozens of dollars to sell. If you get less, you can only eat it yourself, and buying a net also costs money.

Even Qin's father couldn't make money every time he fished with electricity. Most of the time, he would spend some diesel to exchange for food and save money on buying meat.

If you really want to make money, you have to go to Yuxi River. The river shrimps there are very valuable, and occasionally there are some unexpected surprises.

Qin Dahe first paddled his own cement boat into the lake. There was a gate where the lake connected to the outer river. It was usually open, and there were several nets below the gate.

If it rains and the water level rises, the gate will be closed to prevent the fish from escaping.

After pushing the boat to the river bank, the two men began to lift the boat into the crucian carp pond.

This boat will be used exclusively in the crucian carp pond in the future, for feeding and setting nets.

Otherwise, why would no one contract this pond? Including the cement boat, the investment in this small pond must be quite a lot.

Pumping water, hiring an excavator, buying lime and cigarettes for Uncle Wu all cost several hundred yuan. Next I have to buy fish fry.

The two hundred yuan contracted is just the beginning. You have to spend money on buying feed, fertilizer, and other things later.

"It's really great." said the silly kid enviously.

There is a three-fen wild pond in front of his house, but it is not his, so anyone can go and have a look.

Generally speaking, in rural areas, a small pond belongs to whoever's doorstep it is located in, unless there are no houses nearby.

But Hanwa's family had been bullied by relatives since childhood, so they naturally couldn't take the small pond, and it became public property.

"Well, of course it's good. It cost a lot of money."

"It's time to spend it. Later."

Qin Dahe nodded, knowing what he wanted to say. He would make money in the future. He pulled the man to sit on the boat, put the bamboo pole aside, and began to care about this brother.

"Silly boy, come with me to fish in the countryside and no one will dare to bully you."

"Yeah." The silly kid nodded heavily.

"I'll start by raising a crucian carp pond to gain some experience. In a few years, I'll take over the contract for Third Master's pond. You can come and help me."

Looking at the silly kid's puzzled eyes, he told him what he knew in the future.

"Brother Cheng is not a peaceful person outside. Besides, it is difficult to maintain a good life in a large lake. This pond of the Third Master will be lost sooner or later. We have to take it back if we have a chance." Brother Cheng is the Third Master's son outside. He has been causing trouble since he went out.

"letter."

"I plan to stay in the countryside and not leave. If you want to go out, you have to learn to read. It's difficult to go out without knowing how to read. There are often literacy classes at the entrance of the village, so go and learn more."

"No, no, no, no." The silly kid was so anxious that he couldn't speak and his face turned red with anxiety.

"Slow down. Speak one word at a time and more slowly from now on." He whispered softly and patted the other person's back.

"No." Then the silly kid spoke again: "Learn."

"Okay, I can trust you." Da Hu couldn't be taken care of by one person, let alone two people.

Moreover, after the Third Master gave up the lease in his previous life, the rent for the pond increased to 10,000. If you don’t work hard, you can’t make any money at all.

There are only a few acres of land at home, and Qin's mother can handle it all by herself. It is never his turn to farm. He only needs to go there occasionally when there is heavy work to do.

The most tiring part of growing cotton is picking cotton berries and peeling cotton, working day and night.

Pick the rapeseed seeds during the day and dry them in the sun, then bag them. Once these tasks are done, the rest will be scattered around. Rapeseed is even more convenient.

He had to find a way to develop some industry in the countryside. He could learn things he didn't know, and he could do it slowly. There were people who taught him things like raising fish and setting nets.

Although his brother Hanwaer is a bit mentally retarded, he still recognizes him as always and is determined to take him along in this life.

It is impossible to make the other party rich, and he is not even planning to take the path of getting rich quickly, but there is still a chance to let the silly boy get married and have children.

My grandmother is over 80 years old and is now starting to have health problems. When she went to the hospital, the doctors were afraid to treat her and just told her to go home and take good care of herself. But smart people know what’s going on: her time has come.

The silly kid now has his grandmother to take care of, so no one would be willing to marry him. However, as long as a strong laborer is willing to work and has good character, he can still find a wife.

What he lacks now is a skill, a way to settle down and make a living, rather than just trying to make some scattered money here and there.

Next, he plans to teach the kid how to raise crucian carp, and take him to explore the breeding techniques. He will also take him to raise big lake carp. Once he becomes an expert in breeding, he will make arrangements.

Although Silly Kid may not be very smart, it is very important that he can be assured that he will never be disgusted by money.

You can survive and live better without going to a big city as long as you are willing to endure hardships.

The silly kid in my previous life also got married, but he got married when he was 35 years old. He spent 20,000 yuan to marry a divorced woman with a bad personality and who couldn't have children. I really don't know who had the guts to introduce her to him.

This kind of woman is a disaster in the countryside. Cutting off other people's incense is more vicious than anything else. My grandmother endured for so many years just because she didn't want the family's incense to be cut off, but in the end she was still plotted against.

Only the so-called city dwellers would treat such women as "little fairies", and they might even marry them to a domineering president. In rural areas, marrying someone is harming him.
