Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 299

The sudden heavy rain on the island left the four people at a loss.

Fortunately, it was summer and the weather was hot, so everyone got wet.

"Grandpa, should we pack up?" Erhu struggled to cover the mosquito net with the waterproof cloth, otherwise he would not be able to open his eyes due to the heavy rain.

"The wind and waves are a bit strong now." Qin's father frowned. This section of the Yuxi River is wide in itself. After the heavy rain, the wind and waves kept hitting the island.

In this situation, if the boat capsizes, people may not be able to return to the shore by swimming.

When the wind and waves come together, undercurrents will also appear, and it is difficult for people to maintain their original movements in the water.

"Kid, how many meters of rope did we bring?" He turned to look at the silly kid. He was the one who prepared all these supplies for today.

"Fifteen meters." The silly kid looked for something in the bag worriedly.

My eyes lit up when I saw a large roll of fishing line.

"Grandpa, this is No. 30 fishing line." He held up the reel in his hand.

"Ce, I forgot." The old man slapped his forehead. He had brought a 100-meter roll of No. 30 line today, preparing to catch big bluefish in the second half of the night.

The tensile strength of the No. 30 fishing line itself is ridiculously strong. If you fold it in half, you can easily pull an adult man ashore.

He began to drive stakes into the grass beach in the rain, and then tied the fishing line to it from the middle.

"I'll drive the boat ashore first, you guys wait." He shouted and started the gasoline engine.

The other three are all young people, and they are all only children, so we definitely cannot take any risks.

But with the fishing line, if the boat really capsizes, it can be pulled back to the shore.

The silly kid was quite worried and wanted to follow along but was scolded. Qin's father held the line set in his own hands and could get ashore if things really didn't work out, but two mermaid lines couldn't hold up.

The boat was swaying towards the shore. He was experienced and he steered the bow towards the shore at an angle.

Driven by the water flow, it rushed straight forward.

The moment I stepped onto the muddy ground, I felt relieved. If I were really trapped on the island, it would be a sin if anything happened.

My son even specifically reminded them to come back early.

"Erhu, pack your things. I'll find a ferry to pick you up." He shouted loudly several times, afraid that the people on the island couldn't hear him.

It is too dangerous to travel back and forth by small boat, so it is more convenient to take a passenger boat, and you can bring the fish home.

"I know, Grandpa, please be careful."

Seeing that they heard what he said, they climbed up. The dirt road that was usually easy to climb up and down was now extremely slippery.

I had to hold on to the trees nearby to keep my balance.

After getting ashore with great difficulty, he honked his tricycle and headed towards Phoenix Bridge.

The ferry happened to be docked at the shore at this moment, and Qin's father got on directly.

"Brother, can you help me pick up someone on the island?" After entering the cabin, the old man wiped the rain off his face.

"Are you still fishing in such heavy rain?" The person on duty on the ferry knew that there was a group of people fishing here every day, but he didn't expect that they were still fishing in such heavy rain.

Upon hearing this, he immediately started the boat. His boat was converted from a cargo ship, so such a small amount of wind and waves would not be a problem at all.

"I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. I will give you a big bluefish later." He didn't have any cigarettes on him, otherwise he could try to get closer to him.

"Haha, it's just a small favor, it won't cost much oil." The captain said indifferently.

It takes less than ten minutes to get to the island from here. You're just picking someone up, why would you ask for their things?

"Come and have a cigarette. Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Seeing the cigarette handed over, Qin's father thought that this person was really good.

"Thanks, brother."

After lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, he sat down next to the driver's seat and started chatting with the other person.

There are not many people coming to their village to transport grain, because they have to take a boat across the river and then walk a long way to get to the bustling area.

It is convenient to go to town. You can take a tricycle for 1.5 yuan and it will take you directly to the vegetable market.

After chatting over a cigarette, we arrived at the island.

He hurried downstairs and started moving fish baskets, scoop nets, and transfer boxes with Erhu and the others.

I threw the fishing rod directly on the island, but seeing such heavy rain, I still took the fishing tripod home.

I might not be able to catch any fish next time, what if someone picks it up?

It was now past one in the morning, and there were at least eight or nine large black carps in the fish basket. He took out a 15-jin one, tied it with a straw rope and placed it next to the driving seat.

"Old Jiang, let's not talk about anything else. Just take this fish home and eat it."

"Haha, big black carp is valuable." The boat captain named Lao Jiang was in a very happy mood. He didn't expect that he actually got a fish.

"It's just a few bucks, so please do me a favor and go back to the shore and help me pull the boat back."

"Okay." After taking a fish, the captain drove the boat over without any hesitation.

Erhu and the others went down and pulled the assembled boat up.

The boat was left here and was blown away by strong winds and waves and could not be found.

"Grandpa, we're not fishing tomorrow?" Tiedan was a little reluctant.

Fishing makes a lot of money, one or two thousand yuan a day.

"No more fishing. I'll wait until the weather improves and see what the river has to offer."

Everyone was shirtless at this time, and their clothes were wet and uncomfortable to wear.

When we arrived at the ferry terminal, we greeted the captain and everyone started carrying things to the shore.

"Kid, go ride the tricycle over here."

"Okay, Grandpa."

After moving the fish, Silly Boy went to the hotel.

Because Qin Dahe's Land Cruiser was not there, a large tricycle could not fit both the passengers and the goods, so he rode a motor tricycle here as well. However, for fear of being stolen, he did not dare to park it at the Dragon King Temple and left it at the hotel.

When all the things were moved onto the big tricycle, Hanwaer's car just happened to come over.

Two cars drove cautiously on the embankment on a rainy night. The lights were too dim and they didn't dare to drive fast.

By the time they arrived at the yard, Qin Dahe had already started his SUV and was ready to go find them.

The rain got heavier in the second half of the night and he was woken up by his mother in bed. He called her but no one answered, so he naturally had to go look for her.

I was relieved to see everyone return safely.

"I told you to come back a long time ago, but you took so long in the rain." He took off his shirt and helped move the goods with his bare chest.

This way, if your body gets wet, you just need to wipe it off. You don’t have to worry about catching a cold in this horrible weather. It’s hot even when it rains.

"What's the matter? We're back." The old man glared at him and helped to lift the fish down.

Today's black carp weighed over 100 kilograms. In the first half of the night, probably because it was about to rain, the fish were not biting well.

"That's all the fish?"

"I've cut several pairs of line, but where did the fish come from?" Qin's father got angry when he heard this. "I should have used No. 15 line tonight, instead of the thin line you said."

Qin Dahe curled his lips. Even if he used No. 15 line, the fish might not bite the hook.

Black carp is not silver carp or bighead carp. Its mouth is very small, so it really won't take the hook if the line is too thick.

He also asked how they got back, and only then did he find out that it was a passenger ship that helped pick them up.

"Don't use the spliced boat for now. For now, fishing should be done from the shore."

It’s too dangerous. August and September are the summer flood season of the Yangtze River, and sometimes the water level can rise to a frightening level.

"There aren't many fish on the shore?" Tiedan was a little reluctant.

"Listen to me, safety first." Let's settle the matter right there and then.

Put the things away and let Erhu and the others go back first.

Qin Dahe washed himself and went back to sleep.

The sound of raindrops made it very comfortable to sleep.

The next day at breakfast, Qin's mother scolded the old man.

"Erhu and the others are only children. If anything goes wrong, people will blame us for the rest of our lives. Only you are not smart enough."

"Don't go fishing anymore. It's raining today. Go check on the cotton in the fields."

Qin's father didn't even raise his head the whole time. It was indeed his fault last night, and his son had reminded him once.

The last time he caught a big black carp was during a rainstorm, and he was thinking about the big catch last night, so he was delayed.

Otherwise, we would have gone ashore earlier and gone home when it rained heavily.

The young couple didn't say anything. Qin Dahe also felt that it was time for his father to speak up, and his mother had to step in.

I was busy for two days and almost made a mistake.

After dinner, Qin Dahe set out for Jiuzi again, on the one hand to sell fish, and on the other hand to settle the stock matter.

I've already talked to Li Weiwei, and I can open an account by myself.

There weren't many black carps this time, only 400 kilograms in total for two days.

When I passed by the town, I went to the post office specifically to take a look. After receiving the remittance, I sent the bait from Beijing and Hubei by express delivery.

It is possible to transfer money now, but only through major banks, and not many people know how to use it.

Qin Dahe himself was not very clear about it, but it seemed that the handling fee was even higher than that of the post office.

Having experienced the convenience of the blue-green modifier, he is really not used to this primitive cash transaction method.

For example, this time I went out to buy stocks and brought a large bag of cash with me, which was not convenient at all.

On the way from Tongjiang Avenue to the Yangtze River Bridge, raindrops hit the glass continuously, and the wipers stirred back and forth.

I'm feeling very upset. I just went to the photo booth to ask, but they also couldn't transfer photos to a USB drive.

He brought his MP3 with him this time just to use it as a USB drive.

He thought about transferring the photos to the computer by taking pictures, but the computer didn't have a camera, so he could only go to Zhongjiang Square in Jiuzi to see if there was one.

When we arrived at Scar's stall, the shop assistant skillfully opened his trunk and started helping him fish.

"It's rained these days and the water in the Yangtze River has become muddy. Alas!" Scar sighed as he took the cigarette handed to him by Qin Dahe.

Whenever there is strong wind and big waves like this, his fish stall has to stop operating and he can only receive a small amount of goods.

"Has the Yangtze River water level risen already?"

"Yeah, more than one meter. It rose overnight."

"It seems like it's raining upstream."

When Qin Dahe heard these words, he knew that the Yuxi River would definitely flood.

“Then I’m out of stock right now.”

"Haha, it's a good time to take a break. How much have you made from catching herring these days?" Scar said with a smile.

Seeing that Qin Dahe’s cigarettes have been replaced with Yingkesong cigarettes that cost more than 20 yuan, he is getting more and more awesome.

"It's not much money, and we have to score."

After chatting for a while and watching the fish being caught, Scar started to pay him the bill.

The total amount is 6,900. The price of black carp is quite strange now. The heavier it is, the more outrageous the price is. It will definitely not cost more than 10,000 without a large quantity.

"By the way, when is Ah Hu getting married? Why haven't I seen him around lately?"
