Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 261

"By the way, the river management office said that someone went to secretly fish for silver carp and bighead carp, and caught hundreds of kilograms of fish in one night?" He inquired about the illegal fishing.

"It was Da Zhang and his gang who did it. They were fishing secretly one foot, and the town hall came to their door the next foot."

Qin Dahe was not surprised to hear this. Drinking water is not a joke, so it is normal for the town government to keep a close eye on it.

"How many pounds did you get?"

"Three of them hauled over 70 kilograms of silver carp in one night. I heard they also hauled kilograms of silver carp, which they sent to the city." The man on the motorcycle chuckled. "In the end, they were fined yuan. I don't know if they can make it back."

"Haha, that's definitely not going to make enough money. How much is silver carp?"

These guys are really awesome. They can catch more than 600 kilograms of fish in one night. It's really scary. I guess it has something to do with the density of the reservoir.

With so many people in the town drinking water, there would be a lot of people getting angry if something went wrong. The town government would probably come to the door as soon as they heard the news.

After taking the bait, the other party left happily. If you bring bait for others, the sub-line will be yours.

Qin Dahe took out the remaining colored steel tiles and started nailing the roof.

It was also easy to build a carport. It took more than an hour to complete. We built a four-meter-wide shed next to the new house. The yard was so big anyway.

It was not until a little after four o'clock that the girl woke up. Seeing him busy, she immediately came over.

"Stop it, I want to weld something, stay away." He quickly stopped the welding machine.

"Oh, I'm going to watch my mom roast mandarin fish." The little girl nodded quickly.

My brother repeatedly warned me that electric welding is not good for the baby in my belly.

Qin Dahe continued to work on the task at hand. Today's weather was really good, suitable for work.

What he is making now is a fishing rod holder for fishing herring.

But it is different from ordinary ones, because it can make the fishing rod stand vertically.

Similar to a folding bench, but taller, like a homemade cannon.

The top part is half a steel pipe. After it is welded on, a layer of foam that has been burned with a lighter is glued on with water.

The advantage of putting foam is that it will not wear out the fishing rod. In case he is not paying attention, the big bluefish holder can carry it for a while on its own.

He planned to make twenty at a time, each weighing more than ten pounds, so three or four hundred pounds in total.

It would be too troublesome to bring more things with you, as there are many other things you need to bring when fishing for herring.

This is the method he figured out. He would set up the fishing rods directly at the fishing spot, put bait on a row of rods and throw them out. After hanging a bell, he would wait for the fish to be caught.

It's better than just waiting with a fishing rod.

The steel bars of the support can be inserted forty centimeters into the ground, so if something really big needs to be climbed, it can be used to push it up, giving people enough time to react.

It is the single-person multiple-rod fishing method, but it has been upgraded.

Some old men in later generations also played this way, but they could only catch small fish. The way of inserting the fishing rod into the sleeve was so that a big fish could destroy a lot of fish with just one swing of its tail.

In the future, I will have to carry more things when I go out. In addition to the fish guard, scoop net and telescopic bench, I will carry fishing gear weighing five or six hundred kilograms when I go fishing, which will fully demonstrate the disadvantages of Taiwan anglers.

A Land Cruiser can’t even hold it all, so you need a big tricycle to carry your stuff out.

However, he didn't plan to travel far to fish with this method, so he went to the island near Longwangguai to try it out.

It was already time for dinner when all these things were done. When Qin's father came back and saw these things, he was stunned.

"What is this for?"

"Preparing to fish for herring."

He asked curiously, "Don't you raise grass carp in your nest?"

"It's Dabao's turn today, I'll take care of it tomorrow."

It's been windy these two days, so everyone has to go to the fields to tend to the seedlings and has no time to fish.

"So, are you still putting out the shrimp pots at night?"

The old man glanced at the sky and hesitated.

If it doesn’t rain, all the work tonight will be in vain. The net just went down yesterday, so how can I get any goods?

But what if it rains?

"Okay, let's go again after dinner."

"Okay." Qin Dahe nodded. It wouldn't be tiring for two people to set the net anyway.

Tonight we had mandarin fish, and as usual, Mother Qin added some meatballs to the dish, which melted the little girl's tongue.

Sometimes she praised Qin Dahe for his fishing skills, and sometimes she praised her mother's skills, which made the mother and son dizzy.

Qin Dahe also said that he would catch some for her next time, but he couldn't guarantee the time.

Mandarin fish is really hard to catch, unless you go to the loach nest and catch some by the way, otherwise why is the price so high?

After dinner, the father and son set out again with the net, and the wind on the levee began to blow again.

"It's supposed to rain today, right?"

"I don't know. It depends on whether God will give us face." The old man squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. It was pitch black without any moonlight, and it was covered with dark clouds.

If it rains, I can make hundreds of dollars on thirty net mouths.

When we got down there, we started casting nets again, one on the left and one on the right.

Now someone started stealing nets again, but they just picked up two to satisfy their hunger. Qin Dahe didn't think of catching anyone in the middle of the night.

As long as the net is put back, everything will be fine.

If I really wanted to throw the net like Xiao Xiang from Xu Village, I would have to find the person and give him a beating even if I had to squat in the middle of the night.

This time they didn't stay any longer. After setting up the net, the father and son hurried home.

In the room, the little girl was sending text messages. She had become more and more addicted to chatting with people recently. It seemed that she was indeed a little bored during her pregnancy.

"Yan'er, if you don't have enough phone credit, tell me and I'll top it up for you."

"I know." The little girl turned back and pecked him with a smile, then lay back down to text.

Now that my belly has grown bigger, it’s more comfortable to lie in mid-air.

She was still wearing the tube top she bought from the city, and her big butt was sticking out, which made Qin Dahe angrier and angrier. He couldn't help but get close to her from behind.

"Brother, what are you doing?" She turned around blankly.

"It's okay, just play with your phone, it's fast."

Yanyan: “.”

How could this happen? They took advantage of someone sending a message to launch a sneak attack.

The main thing is that although the girl has gained weight, her skin is getting better and better, and her figure is also good. How can a young boy resist her?

Ten minutes later, Qin Dahe wiped himself twice embarrassedly. He was indeed a little fast today.

"Brother, come back later." The girl blushed and let him help her put on her clothes.

"If you don't come, you can't be exposed to too much stimulation." He was also afraid of an accident.

If something goes wrong, I will be beaten to death by my parents. When you are pregnant, you should have less sex.

"Hate it, bullying me." She picked up the phone in grief and anger and started to talk to her friends. The brother was so mean.

I just know that I’m happy, huh.

Qin Dahe went to light the stove and started grilling meat. The little girl was easy to coax. She would immediately forget what she had just experienced once she had something to eat.

Skillfully dissolve the mutton in cold water, squeeze out the water, then dip it in the ingredients and start roasting.

Ever since he bought the barbecue ingredients, his grilling skills have improved rapidly. I also dote on Yanyan, checking the refrigerator from time to time and replenishing the meat immediately if it is out of meat.

After a while, the fragrant barbecue came out. As the smell drifted into the house, I immediately heard the rustling sound of someone putting on clothes.

After a while, the little girl came out awkwardly.

"Wash first before eating?"

"No." She puffed her lips and said, "Only when you're full can you have the energy to wash."

As he said this, he grabbed the meat and put it in his mouth and started chewing it, humming a few words from time to time.

Qin Dahe smiled when he saw this, continued to grill the next plate, and took out a bottle of cold beer from the refrigerator.

After this dish was baked, they sealed the oven and the couple enjoyed it with relish.

It finally rained, and it was moderate rain.

At around three o'clock in the middle of the night, I could vaguely hear the sound of raindrops, and it became more frequent when the sun rose in the morning.

"Brother, it's raining." The sleepy girl glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was only half past five. "Let's go back to sleep?"

"You go to sleep. Dad and I will go get some river shrimp. Be good."

"Hmm." Before she could finish her words, she closed her eyes again.

Push open the door and walk directly along the corridor to the front room.

Qin's father got up around the same time, and the father and son started to get things.

The roadside is slippery during heavy rain, so you can't wear leather pants. Once you fall into the water, you may not be able to climb out because your leather pants are soaked in water.

You must wear rubber shoes to prevent snake bites. There are still many snakes in rural areas nowadays.

"There will definitely be a lot of goods today." The old man said excitedly.

"Hey, let's see if we can get two white eels back."

The father and son didn't hold an umbrella. It was such a hot day and they finally felt a little cooler.

I went straight down in the rain and started collecting shrimp cages left and right.

It was just dawn and there was no one on the road.

The kid also came down. He would not miss any weather that might rain.

Qin Dahe was closing the net towards the water pumping station, which was relatively close.

"Wait for me at home after you have gathered the goods." He shouted to the child.

"Okay, brother." The kid smiled innocently and nodded. It was great to have his big brother to help him.

There are indeed a lot of shrimps in the shrimp cages today. The first three nets caught a pound of river shrimps, which is a real surprise, considering that we just caught them yesterday.

There was still a white eel in the fourth net. I carefully poured the eel into the bucket, threw the shrimp cage aside, and went to find the next net. I would come back to clean it up later.

Since we knew there was a lot of goods today, we brought big buckets and were not afraid that the eels would run away.

Qin Dahe was getting happier and happier as he collected shrimp cages one by one. He had caught so many, including three white eels.

He sent the goods back to his own water jump and placed them there, then turned back and started to collect the nets.

The rain poured down his hair and onto his face. He wiped it away with his hand and continued working.

This is life, haha. The more he does it, the happier he becomes. It’s so fucking comfortable.

There is no way to experience this kind of pleasure of harvest in a big city. Even if the fish and shrimps are worth only a few hundred yuan in total, he is very happy to collect them.

Qin's father also had a happy look on his face, as there were a lot of goods today.

Although it is not yet the season for white eels, we have caught quite a few of them. Together with over ten pounds of river shrimp, we have made a total of six or seven hundred yuan.

My two grandchildren are going to be born soon, so I have to earn more money.

The two men, drenched in rain or sweat, began to climb up carrying the heavy nets.

Fortunately, the steps are made of wooden boards, otherwise it would be difficult to walk on them.

By the time they got home, they were soaked.

Qin's mother took out two towels. Qin Dahe took them, wiped them briefly, and began to sort the fish.

He picked out the miscellaneous fish, ate one portion himself, gave one portion to Yanyan's father, one portion to his second uncle's family, and gave the rest to Hanwa to sell.

Anyway, he is not planning to sell miscellaneous fish now, it is too much trouble.

The caught fish was directly moved onto the off-road vehicle. The tires of the motorcycle tricycle were too poor and it was easy to slip on rainy days. Anyway, the vehicle was used to drive, and the fuel cost was just a few dollars.

Seeing that everything was packed, he went back to the house to change clothes, then started the car and set off to pick up the kid.

When we arrived at the place, the kid was still sorting things, and immediately came over when he saw the big truck.

"Brother, I'll be there soon." As he said that, he took out a pack of Red Nanjing cigarettes.

Qin Dahe took the cigarette with a smile. "All the small bits of junk in the trunk are there. You can mix them together and sell them later."

"Okay, I'll go back and fix it first." The silly kid nodded with a smile. It is quite profitable to sell river fish in the town.

The miscellaneous fish from the outer river are sold for three or four yuan and people are picking and choosing them. The miscellaneous river fish from Yuxi River are immediately bought for seven or eight yuan, and the quality is very good.

I opened the car window, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, then watched the kids busying themselves under the eaves.

Once he gets married, life will be better, at least there will be someone to help out at home.

Now the brothers are basically on the right track. Hanwa's skills are pretty good. He learns faster than Erhu and Tiedan, and can do many big jobs.

Grandpa specially tested the kid once, asking him to split a piece of wood with an axe. This is the basic skill of a carpenter, and the kid did it very well.

In addition, he is also very good at setting nets. He can withstand the cold in winter to make hooks and shrimp cages.

If he is not busy with carpentry work, he can also go fishing with me, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

Erhu and his friends' welding skills are just so-so. They have been leading the team for so long, so it is enough for them to modify a tricycle. Unless they encounter a special model, they generally don't need to do it themselves.

After the silly kid was done, he went down to open the trunk and asked him to put his things in before he stepped on the accelerator and headed up the embankment.

Off-road vehicles are really useful in rural areas. The slope on the side of Liming Supermarket is almost 35 degrees, and it is easy to climb up with one foot.

Boss Huang greeted him when he saw him. Qin Dahe is really impressive now. He drives a car like a rich second generation kid.

When we arrived in the town, we drove directly into the vegetable market. There was a very wide road next to it.

It’s raining today, so there aren’t many vendors here. Everyone is selling vegetables under the awnings.

After getting off the car, he said hello to Wu Ye and the others, and first moved his own river shrimps, white eels and other things over.

"I got some more today."

"Haha, let's take advantage of the rain." Qin Dahe smiled and handed a red Nanjing cigarette to his grandfather, asking him to pass the goods over.

The silly kid has already taken the miscellaneous fish to set up a stall nearby. The brother will not give him less money.

I can sell at least seven or eight portions of miscellaneous fish today and make a lot of money.

After selling the shrimps, Qin Dahe drove to his eldest sister's house. There was half a pound of river shrimps left in the car, which was specially reserved for Binbin.

Although my grandfather now collects river shrimps himself, the ones he delivers are always different.

Seeing his car parked at the door, the eldest sister immediately came over happily.

"Dahe is so impressive." My brother-in-law said with envy. "Aqin, can we buy a car too?"

As the only store in town that sells fertilizer, it must be able to afford a car.
