Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 271

"We can't let it go out and steal things." The mother got angry when she saw Sang Biao.

Not only did he go to the door to apologize, he also gave away his own chicks as compensation.

The little girl responded in a muffled voice.

Feifei meowed proudly, glanced at Sangbiao, and then lay down quietly at her feet.

Qin Dahe smiled and said, "Fried noodles are still the best, be good."

The next morning, Qin Dahe went to the fields to work.

Seeing that they could go out to fish for herring tomorrow, the old man became anxious.

Calling him early in the morning.

There was no choice but to take a kettle of boiling water and set off together at dawn.

Touching ears, interrupting, pinching heads, these are tasks Qin Dahe has done countless times with his elder sister since he was a child, and he is very familiar with them.

And because the cotton is relatively short at this time, it is the least tiring for children to do the work.

Instead, the adults have to bend over to do it.

The three acres of land near my home have been completed, leaving only two plots of land to the east.

The total land is just over six acres, which is considered a middle-class farmer here, but no one has any land to share.

No matter how much money the family made, Qin Dahe never thought of persuading his parents not to farm. The older generation had different ideas and there was no need to change them.

He is quite comfortable living in the countryside now. Sometimes he is happy even if he works himself to the bone to earn a little money.

One is that he doesn't have to think too much. Apart from figuring out how to fish, he just goes with the flow in everything else.

There is also a group of sworn brothers who can stay in the countryside even after twenty years.

After working hard for a whole morning, the father and son worked under the scorching sun until twelve o'clock, and finally finished the work in the field.

Because the old man wanted to go and see the duck herder in the afternoon, and even if he didn't know him, he would go up and offer him a cigarette, so he had to finish the work in the morning.

After returning home and taking a break, my mother quickly invited them to dinner.

"Why are you so busy now? Just do it in the afternoon." Seeing that it was almost one o'clock, the two women in the family were very worried.

The temperature outside is at least 39 or 40 degrees Celsius, and you can easily get heatstroke if you are not careful.

At this time, the father and son's faces were red, and they looked scary like thieves.

When I came back, I jumped into the water and swam again, which made me feel better.

"It would be better to work faster in the morning so that you can rest in the afternoon." Father Qin curled his lips and started drinking soup.

I stewed yam and pork ribs soup today, but now they can’t eat anymore because it’s too hot.

Qin Dahe also suffered the same fate and was eating an ice cream.

"Next time I have to work until ten o'clock and take a break. I'm still nervous now," he complained.

"That's right, old man, even if you don't care about your own health, you should at least take care of your son." Mother Qin looked at her son with heartache.

I have never suffered such great hardship since I was a child. I didn't expect that I would become more sensible and able to work and endure hardships when I grew up.

"I understand. I'm going to sleep." After drinking two bowls of soup, he impatiently went to lie down in the house.

It was really too much today, and he himself was very hot.

Qin Dahe didn't eat lunch. He just ate two ice creams and asked his mother to help him make a bowl of clear soup noodles. He didn't dare to eat anything too oily.

When he returned to the room and lay down, the little girl blew the electric fan towards him.

"Brother, are you very tired?" I touched the skin on his face with concern, and it began to peel off.

"It's okay, I just got a little sunburned." He didn't feel so uncomfortable now, and he didn't act too pretentiously.

Since you have chosen to live in the countryside, you will inevitably experience many things.

For example, you can’t wear sun-protective clothing when working in the fields, so you can only rely on yourself.

The little girl couldn't sleep, so she kept peeling off the dead skin for him.

It was quite interesting to pull the baby out, so I called him to turn over, but I found that he had fallen asleep.

The father and son were woken up by hunger in the afternoon. After they recovered, they began to eat the leftovers in big mouthfuls.

The peanut roasting machine in the yard continues to run, and it is estimated that it will not stop for the next few days.

Seeing that the bait was selling well, Qin's mother planned to prepare two or three thousand kilograms of it at one time, since the storage room at home was very big anyway.

After dinner, Qin Dahe started to take out fruit snails and fruit corn from the refrigerator.

"You put this in the bait?" The old man took a curious look and saw that his son had a lot of fishing things.

"Well, let's put some bait today and let the black carp have a taste. It should be easy to catch fish tomorrow." He said with a smile.

At this time, both the father and son looked unhappy, with their skin curled up, but they didn't care too much.

"When are we going fishing tomorrow?" The sun was a little too hot, and he looked at the weather, worried that his son would get sunburned.

"I'm leaving at four tomorrow night, and I have to set up a nest in the morning."

"Night fishing?" Qin's father was surprised.

"Yeah, it's so hot during the day, let's do it at night."

"That's fine." Anyway, we have all the headlights at home.

After preparing the nesting materials, the father and son set off directly.

Today, only the two of them will go to build a nest, while Erhu and the others will be busy cutting water candles.

After cutting, dry it in high temperature for two days. At least prepare a few sacks of food.

Light two bonfires at night and throw water candles in to cover up the smoke to drive away insects and snakes. Otherwise, fishing on the island in the middle of the night is just feeding mosquitoes.

Although wild fishing is cool, there are really a lot of mosquitoes, so you have to take this into consideration.

There is also a snake, and he plans to take Sang Biao with him.

Although this tiger bastard was rude to him, his fighting ability was really strong.

With it on guard, maybe I can catch a few snakes and sell them.

After arriving at the location and assembling the boat, Qin Dahe headed straight to the island to make a nest. Then he drove the boat to find the same spot as yesterday.

Unfortunately, when we arrived at the place, there was only duck feathers left on the ground.

"That's what duck herders do, running non-stop every day." Qin's father said regretfully.

"Haha, they can't go very far. We'll definitely run into them towards Sancha River."

If we carry the shack and walk, the maximum distance we can walk in a day is probably thirty or forty miles.

The old man shook his head: "Forget it, I just took a look on a whim."

It’s just a dream from my youth. It doesn’t matter if I can’t see it, but chasing after it will only make it ugly.

"Take me to the island to have a look." Qin's father also came today wearing leather pants.

Well, what kills men is teenagers, and even old men use child psychology.

He would definitely participate in such a fun activity as picking duck eggs and shooting ducks with a crossbow.

The two went to the island together.

Yesterday we only picked up items from the outer areas, but today we are going deeper.

I also brought two machetes. I first hit the sticks and then the grass. There must be something inside.

Go up the island from the flank and head straight to the center.

This time it was Qin's father who walked in front. He was experienced and had walked through grass and reed marshes when he was young.

At that time, one needed a letter of introduction to go out, and he had no legitimate reason, so he took those difficult roads.

After clearing a path, he found himself with more than a dozen wild duck eggs in his waist bag.

Although this island is not big, there are really a lot of wild ducks.

The key point is that ordinary people can't catch these wild ducks, and it is really difficult to do so after the gun ban.

"Let me tell you, there used to be a bunker here. My grandfather told me that during the Republic of China, there was a war here, and the Yuxi River was dyed red."

“There are also bunkers?”

"Well, it was built by soldiers who were transporting grain, and later it was bombed during the fight against the Japanese invaders." Qin's father recounted the origin of the island.

Before liberation, some people were planning to settle on the island. The lush water and grass here made it a dream home for fishermen.

Later he was kicked out.

And when the water rises, most of the island will be submerged, leaving only the center.

"If we build a wall on the edge of the island to block the water, it would be nice to live there and fish. We could even cast a net when we have nothing to do." Qin Dahe fell in love with the island the first time he saw it.

Fishermen? Fishermen are even more crazy about this dream home.

"Haha, just spend money to buy the island."

"Hey, where can I buy it?" He curled his lips.

Hexinzhou is located between two counties. If you want to buy it, you have to report to the province and use connections, and then put a project on it.

Qin Dahe knew the specific operation. Some wealthy people in later generations did this, and villas covering several acres were not uncommon.

But, it's too much trouble, and the money spent is secondary. It doesn't matter, you can't buy it at all.

The two walked to the center, and sure enough, there was a cement foundation and red bricks.

There are some small trees around, which look quite creepy.

"Here it comes, haha." The old man proudly caught a snake, and Qin Dahe, who was so quick with his hands, didn't even see it clearly.

"Brilliant."

"I remember when I was hungry on the road, I caught snakes and exchanged them for steamed buns." He said proudly.

"Be careful here. Red brick structures are prone to snake nests."

"I know."

Looking at the time, it was only five o'clock, and the two were not in a hurry. Qin Dahe carefully followed his father to pick up duck eggs.

There are so many eggs at home that we can hardly finish them all.

"Do you want to catch some frogs to eat?" Father Qin felt itchy when he saw the frogs.

"Don't, it has parasites." Qin Dahe said quickly.

Things like frogs and bullfrogs are best eaten farmed, even with the addition of technology and hard work they are still better than parasites.

"Tsk, you're just spoiled. Think about the time when we were starving, not to mention frogs, even mice were eaten to extinction."

Brother Qin: “.”

We are not hungry now, so why eat these things? We think about the past every day. What is there to brag about when people were starving to death?

The father and son were quite enthusiastic as they chatted and searched for things here.

It’s estimated that no one has been to the center of the island for 20 or 30 years, so there are so many things.

"I got another one, haha, these two snakes are enough." The old man proudly held up the snake in his hand, not caring even though his arm was entangled.

It gives people a chill, it's really awesome.

I saw a tree stump. I guess it was a towering tree that was cut down by someone and has become rotten beyond recognition.

Qin Dahe was just about to sit on it when he was stopped.

"Don't sit on these tree stumps in the wild in the future. They are full of poisonous insects."

"Oh oh." Although he was wearing leather pants, Qin Dahe was still startled.

Poisonous insects can crawl. Although there are no deadly poisonous insects here, you will definitely get a big bump if they bite you.

Qin's father came over to take a look, then took a machete and started chopping down the tree.

Because it was completely rotten, when a knife chopped it, it was like soft pine wood, and black wood debris flew everywhere.

"Dad, what are you doing?"
