Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 297

During lunch, Qin Dahe took the magazines from his car to show off.

Seeing that he caught so many big fish, Boss Xu's eyes turned green with envy.

"This is the largest black carp, weighing 133 kilograms. Black carp stone was cheap at the time, so I sold it for yuan."

"In July, I caught three fish weighing 80 or 90 kilograms each, and sold them for a total of 20,000 yuan."

"Fuck, it's so valuable."

"Haha, next year I'm going to catch 200 kilograms of black carp and I'll come to Jinling to do it. Then we can do it together."

"Okay, you have to call me."

At the dinner table, Boss Xu stared with wide eyes, watching him pretending all the way to where he was now.

"Are you sure there are 200 kilograms of herring?"

"Yes." Qin Dahe nodded vigorously. A fisherman doesn't pay attention to anything else, but he will definitely remember clearly where the fish was caught and how big it was.

"Then we'll go to Jinniu Lake and watch it together for ten days or half a month. The starting price for one fish is 40,000 yuan."

"Fuck it, if I can really catch it, I'll help you sell as much as you want in the future."

Boss Xu's eyes turned red. He didn't care about 40,000 yuan. As long as he could catch a 200-jin herring, he could brag about it for the rest of his life.

"If we really do it, we'll probably be in more than a dozen newspapers, haha."

A 200-jin herring is quite impressive. At least the local media in the middle and lower reaches will definitely pay attention to it, and there may even be interviews.

When the time comes, bring your camera, write a manuscript of several thousand words and send it to China to go fishing. It will definitely be on the front page.

The two chatted with saliva flying everywhere, and at one point Qin Dahe even wanted to have a few drinks, because when you meet a good friend, a thousand cups are never enough.

Fishing is really the ceiling of social life. Status and money are useless in this circle. If you can't catch any fish, nothing you say will work.

If you drive a supercar to a black pit, people may just look at you curiously, but if you go to a pond crown, your bait and fishing rod will be asked about and studied.

Many anglers go to black pits just for the pond crown, and they don’t care how much money they spend on buying small medicines.

Qin Dahe himself has an outstanding record, so it is normal for him to be sought after by Boss Xu.

The owner of the fishing tackle shop in Jiuzi was impressed by him and bought goods with real money.

Now his target is basically on the big fish. Three giant fish have been caught in the fishway of Longwangguai. He doesn't know if there are more. He will go back and try fishing for a while.

I will go to Jinling next year and start catching 200 kilograms of black carp.

For lunch, we received another order of 500 kilograms and some other baits including sour corn, sweet potato corn, etc.

Since there are so many this time, he plans to ask a mini-van to deliver it, which will definitely be cheaper than express delivery.

The freight from Jinling to Jiuzi is quite cheap.

After coming out of the local restaurant and saying goodbye politely, he went straight to the photo studio. It was already one o'clock, so he had to hurry back.

After taking the photos, he was filled with joy when he saw the photos of his catch during this period.

There are also some photos I took last time of fishing for silver carp and bighead carp at the sluice gate, which can be posted on the forum.

But I don’t have time to write a short essay right now, I have to go back quickly.

After leaving the photo studio, I felt dizzy from being exposed to the sun. It was already 1:30 in the afternoon and it was very hot.

It was raining when I came here yesterday.

I got in the car, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards National Highway 205.

Today's driving experience was a bit painful. When I opened the window, hot air kept blowing in and the seats were soaked with sweat.

I closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner, but the strong smell of strawberries made my head hurt.

What an unexpected disaster. I'll go back and take off the seat cushions and chairs myself and use it as a small van.

Reinstall it when the smell dissipates.

As for spending his own money to replace the interior, a set worth thousands or even tens of thousands, he must be crazy to do that.

It was almost four o'clock when he arrived in Jiuzi. There were too many cars on the national highway in the afternoon and the road conditions were bad, so he didn't dare drive too fast.

He didn't know where the Fisheries Administration Center of Jiuzhi was, so he called Director Xu and found out that it was right next to the Maritime Administration.

Although Jiuzi is an inland city, it has its own maritime bureau.

It’s just behind Xinshikou, and the real estate agency where I bought the house last time is also next to it.

When we got there, the staff were quite polite.

As a fisherman, it is a strange thing that the fishery officials are so polite to me. In later generations, it became normal for poison fish to escape from various places where fishing is prohibited.

He still remembers the scene where his friends were secretly fishing in Yijiang River and were chased by the fishery administration by land, sea and air.

Law enforcement vehicles, speedboats, and drones are fully equipped to chase and intercept the victims. Those who fail to escape the poison will have their equipment left behind and be fined.

Anyway, you can often see this kind of content on his circle of friends, it's really hilarious.

This is also due to resource issues.

There are no fish in places where fishing is not prohibited. Fish can only be caught in big rivers and lakes. Many people have no choice but to fish in black pits.

After Director Xu arrived, he expressed his deep gratitude for sending the photos and gave him a certificate and bonus on the spot.

The certificate is just a printed award certificate with the seal of the Fisheries Administration at the bottom, which can be considered as having some status.

The white-fin dolphin was rushed to Jinling Agricultural University, as its mother is now increasingly difficult to find.

It is rare to find one in a tributary of the Yangtze River, and Jinling attaches great importance to it.

Qin Dahe was delighted when he heard the news. If he could save the Baiji dolphin from extinction, it would be a tremendous achievement. The two chatted briefly about the Yangtze River's ecological balance. He even pulled out a magazine and explained that he had already been advocating for the protection of the Yangtze River's ecology in "China Fishing."

"Fishermen nowadays are too ruthless. They use nets to kill all the fish during the migration season in April and May. Director Xu, this won't work in the long run," he said seriously.

"Whether it's the Baiji or the Yangtze River finless porpoise, the living environment of many protected species has deteriorated due to the construction of dams upstream in the Yangtze River. Coupled with fishermen's overfishing, more and more rare fish will become extinct."

He told the story about the last time he fished in a loach nest. Now that live bait is not allowed, it’s okay to tell it.

"Look at this giant mullet and two large catfish. Because of the scarcity of white-fin dolphins, mullet are becoming increasingly prevalent in the Yangtze River."

"Especially during the day, you can always catch blackfin bream as soon as you cast your rod."

This was a rare opportunity, so he explained all these things in detail.

"We understand the situation, but the fishery administration has just been established, and our jurisdiction is limited to the riverside area." Director Xu sighed.

The most important thing is that the fishermen nowadays are very aggressive. Their fishery administration only has a few boats and cannot control them unless the Maritime Administration next door takes action.

During the Chinese New Year last year, the Maritime Safety Administration took the lead in imposing fines on fishing boats and transport ships.

It's really awesome over there. Once a piece of paper is sent out, all fishermen have to wait at home for news. Anyone who leaves the port without permission will be arrested immediately.

However, Director Xu still feels good about Qin Dahe's actions. There are not many voices calling for the protection of the Yangtze River ecology.

After leaving the fishery administration, Qin Dahe was in a good mood. At least the current fishery administration was doing practical things.

I went to the department store and bought twenty rolls of Line 10, and also some Line 5 and Line 8.
It was already five o'clock when he got home. His mother was preparing dinner. When the little girl saw him come back, she immediately stuck to him and kept asking him questions.

It’s amazing that I could meet Ru Ru’s brother even though I’m so far away in Jinling.

Qin Dahe told the story again with a smile, it was really a coincidence.

"Mom, I'll take down the cushions and the seat. You can wash them and hang them up to dry. You can put them back up when the smell is gone."

"I know, it smells really bad." Mother Qin shook the foot pad in disgust and threw it directly into the fish pond to soak.

"My dad and the others went fishing?"

"Well, we left at four. It rained for half an hour this morning, but then it stopped."

Last night's fishing catch was pretty good. Although there were no giant fish, I caught nearly 300 kilograms.

"Are you going tonight?"

"No, I'll write something tonight." Mainly because I didn't want to go fishing with my dad.

The old man was too pretentious. He stayed at home to accompany his wife, roasted some meat to comfort her, and wrote something by the way.

The little girl must be unhappy about going night fishing every night.

Qin Dahe first asked the girl to put away a bag of money. She was stunned by the nearly 600,000 yuan in cash.

"Brother, how about we deposit it in the bank?"

"Yes, son, this is too scary." Mother Qin sat down, holding her heart.

I've never seen so much cash in my life.

"Haha, let's go to the city tomorrow and buy some stocks and put them there. I'll keep half of this for Silly Kid to use to buy a house." He said with a smile.

Such a big bag of green banknotes is really exciting to look at.

"I'll go count." The girl was about to go back to the house with the bag, and Qin's mother followed her.

They would really appreciate so much money.

Qin Dahe chuckled and began to prepare the bait.

Now there is concentrated apple juice, and you only need to add a little juice and white vinegar to the sour corn, without having to chew the apple hard.

Fruit vinegar is also very expensive, not as cheap as white vinegar, which costs only a few cents per pound.

There were about 200 kilograms of corn at home. He first soaked 100 kilograms of corn, and then started to steam sweet potatoes over a fire in the yard.

The production cost of sweet potato corn is much lower because it can be mixed with sweet potato puree.

He planned to try selling both types of corn. It would be best if someone bought them, but it didn't matter if no one wanted them. He could just use them to make nests.

There are also commercial baits, fruit snails, etc., get some and keep them at home.

"Son, what are you doing?"

"Steam some sweet potatoes, someone wants bait." He briefly explained the order from Jinling Fishing Tackle Store.

"Another 500 kilograms? Wasn't it just delivered?" Qin's mother was a little overjoyed.

Five hundred kilograms of bait is four thousand yuan, so I can make at least three thousand yuan.

"I'll go harvest corn for you tomorrow. We don't have much left at home."

"Haha, I'll collect it myself when I have time." It just so happened that the back seats of the off-road vehicle were all removed, so there was a lot of space. It could hold several tons of corn and there was no need to worry about climbing up and down hills.

"Can you do it alone?"

"Yes, collecting three to four thousand kilograms will be enough."

The fire was lit, and the big pot was on the stove. Yanyan helped to steam the sweet potatoes, and she could taste them after they were done.

Soak the corn in warm water in advance and mix it directly later.

For commercial bait, you also have to buy some dried earthworms and grass shrimp, which are expensive.
