Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 301

Since the Yangtze River caused the water level of the Yuxi River to rise, fishing for black carp naturally came to a halt.

However, there are still many people fishing for silver carp and bighead carp because the silver carp and bighead carp in the sluice gate have surfaced.

Although the density is not as grand as in the past, it still looks very tempting.

Uncle Chen and his friends tried fishing several times but couldn't get any fish up. They were anxious just watching.

Qin Dahe naturally doesn't go fishing. He only fishes in normal weather. At least he can adjust his position and bait based on his experience according to the fish conditions.

When fishing in abnormal weather, you may catch a lot of fish, but the greater possibility is that you will not be able to find the fish path and the water layer.

At home, I have some eel cages and shrimp cages, which makes me feel quite comfortable.

On August 10th, I took my kid to the city to transfer the ownership of four small courtyards, spending a total of 190,000 yuan.

The main reason was that one of the houses was particularly good, located in a courtyard by the Yjiang River. Qin Dahe bought it even though the asking price was 80,000.

The total area is more than 110 square meters, and the yard at the door is quite large. It costs more than 700 yuan per square meter, which is a great deal.

The other three courtyards were rented out through the real estate agency, leaving only this one.

I just bought a few quilts and put them in there, so that if I come to Jiuzi late for business in the future, I will have a place to stay.

Qin Dahe was a little tempted, but thinking that his stocks would appreciate faster, he didn't care about this small amount of money.

He still had about 100,000 yuan in cash, which was enough for his expenses in the countryside.

When Baoer comes home, give the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Hanwaer has to them for safekeeping.

It was half past five in the morning and the dawn was just breaking.

The two brothers drove a small boat from his house to the graves in Xinba.

The water level of the outer river did not rise at this time, and several water pumps were still draining water.

The river was quite busy in the morning. It was a rare sunny day and several small wooden boats carrying passengers were waiting for guests at the harbour.

Grandpas in their sixties and seventies chatted with each other about this year's harvest, with cheap cigarettes like Huang Sanhuan between their yellowed teeth, their faces full of longing for life.

If someone is still rowing a boat at this age, it is very likely that he has grandchildren at home, which is why he works so hard to earn a few dozen dollars.

If you work hard, you can earn five or six thousand yuan a year. If you spend it frugally, you can even buy some new clothes for your grandchildren and some snacks.

When Qin Dahe passed by, he greeted the old men politely, and some of the older ones even called him "Dad".

The silly kid took the Shuangxi from his mouth and followed his elder brother to nod and greet the grandfathers.

These old men looked at the two brothers with envy, as they had both become rich.

"Dahe, when you have a new baby, invite us old guys to have a drink to share in the good luck."

"Haha, I will definitely call you." Qin Dahe's face was filled with a hint of joy.

As the girl's belly grew bigger, the family began to look forward to the birth of two babies.

The full moon party must be a grand one, just hold a buffet and invite guests from several surrounding villages to a meal, which will only cost tens of thousands of yuan, just to bring blessings to the child.

As they watched the two brothers go away, the old man rowing the boat and the guests kept talking about them.

"You are so lucky, silly kid. Now that you have this big brother, your life will get better soon."

"Who says it's not true? Qin Da is not as good as his son now." These old men know a lot of things.

Although the old man was very capable of taking people out to make money, in their hearts, Qin Dahe is now more capable of making money in the countryside.

On the other side, the two brothers rushed to the edge of the grave and began to set up the net.

It was hot, and there had just been a continuous heavy rain, so the eels in the river started to come out and move around. They started putting the eel cages down last night.

When it rains heavily, the two brothers make a lot of money by selling shrimp cages. If it rains every day, they can make hundreds of dollars every day.

I stopped fishing yesterday after the rain stopped and started catching eels.

"Brother, there are so many lobsters." The silly kid poured a bucket of catch with a satisfied smile on his face.

"The shrimp shells nowadays are too thick. Do you want to eat them?" He didn't even bother to sell a small amount of shrimp.

"eat."

There are only four entrances for eel cages, and there are lobsters, but not many.

It takes three or four nets to get out one pound of eel. The two brothers cast nearly forty eel cages here, which is only enough to buy him a pack of cigarettes. It would be better for him to take some of them home to eat.

The big ones are eels, which cost more than ten yuan per pound.

Another net was poured out, with three big ones, each weighing at least 200 to 300 grams.

This is a very good harvest. Sometimes there is not a single fish in the net cage.

He happily closed the lid, rowed the boat forward a little, and Qin Dahe walked down wearing leather pants.

The eel cage here has been lowered into the small pond, so we have to go down and retrieve the net.

The pond was cleaned in the early spring, but now it is full of water plants and floats again.

"Kid, go collect the net over there under the grave, and come back to pick me up." He shouted and went down to start working.

After receiving these plump eels, he was thinking about having a meal for himself at noon.

Yellow eels are now in their most delicious and healthiest state, unlike in the past when some people still fed them birth control pills.

I received a large fish weighing over one kilogram. It was a bit eye-irritating when I held it in my hand. It was very yellow and fat.

Such a big eel is very rare, and it is all meat when cooked.

It took a long time to collect all the eels here.

There are more than four kilograms of goods in the small pond alone.

After a while, the boy came back in the boat with a happy face.

"Man, there are a lot of old fish."

The old man fish is a ground tiger. This thing can "teleport" and is small in size, but very expensive.

"I have a giant fish here. Let's go back and chop it up and grill it together with the wine."

"Ah."

They don't keep their nets separate now, they just put all the fish together, and then the kids go to town to sell them and split the money.

After getting on the boat, the air bags on both sides sank slightly.

"Dahe, reeling in the net."

Suddenly, a shout came from above the grave, and Qin Dahe looked up.

"Ga Di (Grandpa)." He responded and started to walk upstairs, leaving the child to wait.

No matter how unhappy I am, he is my grandfather and I have to be polite to him for his sake.

"You're quite good at making money, little guy." Grandpa smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Please help me with the baby's milk powder money." He took out a black pine from his leather pants and lit one for his grandfather.

"Smoking is also good."

Qin Dahe stood by with a smile on his face, and nodded when he heard this.

"Dad, where are we going?"

"I'm looking for you. Come to my house for lunch at noon. It's been a long time since you came." Grandpa said with a smile.

Last year’s Chinese New Year was not very good, but this year I suddenly became rich and even bought a car.

He didn't know that the car was given to him by his uncle, otherwise there might have been a fuss.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there at noon."

My grandfather wanted to come over for dinner and there was no way I could refuse him.

"I just happened to catch some eels. I'll send some over later."

"Okay, then it's settled." It's quite a long way to walk from here to Qin Dahe's house, and since we happened to meet here, there's no need to run.

After going down, he asked his son to drive the boat to Xiaoguowei first and send some eels up.

He exchanged greetings with his grandmother again. Now that he was doing well, the neighbors in Xiaoguoxu also greeted him.

Then I sailed home with my child.

When we got home, we kept the giant yellow eel and the old man fish and stewed them with wine in the evening. We asked the kids to take the rest to set up a stall on the street.

The lobsters were divided randomly.

Now the kid can ride the tricycle by himself, so he doesn’t have to run to the street every day.

I took off my leather pants in the yard and drank a big gulp of water before I felt more comfortable.

The rain had just stopped and it wasn't very hot, but it was stuffy wearing leather pants, and the sour smell from my feet attracted the two red-haired guys.

"Get lost." He kicked the dog away in annoyance and went straight to the fish pond to wash his feet.

The cold water felt so comfortable on my feet. I rubbed my feet with my hands, smelled them, and almost vomited.

He washed his hands again in disgust.

"Mom, who sent you the watermelons?" Seeing several big watermelons in the yard, he immediately went to get a knife.

"Erhu's father gave it to them. They've been using the tricycle to make money these days."

The cotton harvest is about to begin, and the number of orders for modified large three-wheeled vehicles has suddenly increased.

After cutting it, I grabbed a piece and started to eat it. It was sweet and delicious.

After eating a few bites, he started cutting another piece.

"Mom, do you want to eat?"

"I'm afraid you'll get a stomachache if you eat this so early in the morning." Mother Qin waved her hand to refuse. She was still busy washing clothes.

It has been raining these days, and a lot of clothes have accumulated at home.

Now because there is no running water, the washing machine can only use the rinse and spin modes, which is very troublesome.

After eating the watermelon, Qin Dahe came forward to help rub it. Small pieces of clothing were washed directly in the washing machine, while the sheets, quilt covers and large pieces of clothing had to be taken to Yuxi River.

The water level is high now, but there is no rush, you can still wash clothes.

It won't delay them making shrimp cages. At most, they will lose some money if they are washed away.

"By the way, I just ran into my dad when I was closing the net, and he asked me to go there for lunch." He recounted what happened in the morning.

"The old man asked you to eat?" Qin's mother frowned. "If he asks you for money, don't give it to him."

"It's okay to ask for money. A few hundred dollars is enough for food and drink." Qin Dahe said indifferently.

After all, he is my grandfather. He has done my uncle and Qin's mother a favor. It's okay for me, his grandson, to give him some money.

"It's not just a few hundred yuan. I don't know what the old man is doing recently. He is borrowing money for my uncle." Qin's mother sighed.

"He talked about this when I went home last month. I got angry at home and said it was none of my business." Now he has come to his son, probably he has some new thoughts about it.

"Why haven't I heard you talk about this?" he asked curiously.

"Who do you think you are? I have to tell you everything. Hurry up and help me carry the clothes." She said angrily.

"Oh." Qin Dahe began to lift the clothes onto the Land Cruiser in a sullen manner and put them directly into the transfer box.

There are so many clothes and bed sheets, weighing at least several hundred kilograms.

Yanyan is sleeping now, so when she wakes up, the sheets over there will also need to be washed.

Both mother and daughter were reluctant to wake her up now. The hardship of carrying twins was really visible to the naked eye. It was difficult for her to walk with such a big belly.

Now morning sickness has started again, and she can’t eat much meat. It makes me sad to see her.

I started the Land Cruiser and drove to the embankment. The car was now completely unrecognizable, with all the back seats removed.

There were no floor mats, just waterproof cloth, and the paint was scratched but not fixed.

He made the Land Cruiser worth over one million yuan look like a tractor.

Both mother and son were very strong, and they started lifting the transfer box as soon as they got out of the car.

However, the water level of Yuxi River has risen and the water jump has disappeared, so we can only cross the water on the steps.

"The water level is quite high." When they reached the stairs below, the mother and daughter began to wash clothes.

"We've only just reached the small building at the water pump station. We're just a little bit short of that. We'll be flooded here too."

She felt a little scared when she thought about the great flood that year.

This is a plain area. If the levee can't hold it, there will be nowhere to hide.

No one cares about the water level now. As long as there is a levee, we feel at ease.

The Wuwei levee is hundreds of miles long, and the wide sloping river beaches on both sides are probably tens of thousands of acres, but no one dares to grow vegetables on it.

Even the rural aunties have never thought about this, which shows the status of the levee in people's hearts.

The annual inspection is also the most stringent. It concerns the lives of the people in the county, and no one will be careless.

Qin Dahe remembered that after the levee was built, Dongxiang had never been flooded again.

"It's such a hassle to have to run so far just to do laundry."

"The water quality over there is too bad."

"When you take over the lake, you must clean it up and not make it so dirty."

The section of the outer river near their home is full of floating objects and water plants, and the water quality of the lake is poor. Qin's mother has suffered this for many years.

It turns out that I served all the food myself. It was so tiring.

Now that I have a son who pulls the clothes in a cart and a washing machine, life is a little easier.

"I understand. I don't plan to raise them at a very high density. I'll mainly raise black carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and grass carp."

Uncle San is in poor health and cannot cut grass, so he can only add more fertilizer and feed to the water to feed the plants.

In this case, the fish will grow faster, but the feed will sink to the bottom and pollute the water quality together with the fertilizers.

He has changed the water in his crucian carp pond twice this year. Apart from washing feet, he finds washing pots too dirty.

After finally washing all the sheets and clothes, the mother and daughter felt relieved to carry them up again.

When I got home, Yanyan had already woken up. She was holding a steamed bun in her mouth and looked blankly at the truck entering the yard.

"You didn't brush your teeth again?" He took the steamed bun off with a smile.

"Hateful." The little girl said with a red face.

It’s so embarrassing to say it out loud, I ran away to brush my teeth.

He finished the steamed bun in a few bites and started feeding the fish.

He couldn't even count how many crucian carp there were in the small pond now. Sometimes when the weather was muggy, there would be a lot of fish jumping out of the water.

So now we feed them every two days, and then pull them up online during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The frequency of feeding is not high, but this year we have used more than 2,000 kilograms of bait, which should yield at least 1,000 kilograms of fish.

His baits are all the leftover scraps from making bait for silver carp and bighead carp, but they are all high in protein, so the fish will definitely grow very fast.

The little girl started to eat breakfast after brushing her teeth. The fragrant sour beans fried with minced meat and some buns were so delicious.

"Mom, pickled beans are delicious. Let's have them for lunch too."

"Don't eat meat anymore?" Qin's mother said with a smile. Her daughter-in-law is fat now, and it looks really festive.

"I'm not eating anymore. I feel sick. I'd rather eat something appetizing like these." She turned to look at Qin Dahe who had just gotten off the boat. "Brother, can you buy me some more hawthorns?"
