Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 317

It was already seven o'clock when I got home in the evening. Even though the Land Cruiser was fast, selling the fish still took some time.

Today I caught about 70 kilograms of fish, and including the fish I collected, the total amount is over 1,000 kilograms.

Take out the fishing gear and hang it out to dry first, and continue working tomorrow. I don’t believe that I can’t win the championship.

The remaining carp in the car were poured into the fish basket, and the silver carp, bighead carp and small carp were raised in the pond.

"Mom, we're going to cook these crucian carp and bream tomorrow. We caught them in the Yuxi River."

"I understand." Mother Qin took the bait money he handed over, which was quite a bit. "You can take it yourself."

That being said, he was not slow in counting the money.

"You're tired of frying bait every day." Qin Dahe chuckled. "Another customer has ordered bait, and it needs to be delivered to Jinling soon."

"I'll go take a look at the warehouse." As she said that, she immediately went into the warehouse to check the inventory.

Silver carp and bighead carp baits are selling really well now. Many people from other places want them, and local people also buy a lot. It’s not enough and we have to fry it tomorrow.

Now the family's fields are taken care of by Qin's father alone, and she only needs to focus on taking care of the bait and daughter-in-law at home.

I asked my wife to start serving the food, and my father had just returned from Limin Supermarket with a braised duck.

Nowadays, the meals at home are almost always meat dishes, and vegetarian dishes are rare. We will only add some cold dishes if someone has a sore throat.

Braised silver carp tail, braised duck, and a serving of salted duck stewed with soybeans, which my second aunt gave me last time.

The three large meat dishes tasted so delicious that the little girl almost buried her face in the bowl.

Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, which is scary to look at. Mother Qin dare not leave her sight for a moment.

"Today I took Erhu to Lao Er's house to negotiate. The excavator plus some spare parts in his house cost a total of 255,000." Qin's father said.

He treats Erhu as his nephew, so he is definitely closer to him than a cousin.

"The flower-making factory hasn't started operations yet?" Qin Dahe asked curiously.

Today, while fishing with the fisherman, we naturally talked about the flower-making factory. This is one of the town’s pillar industries, and everyone is familiar with it.

Many cotton-tying factories have begun recruiting permanent workers. If there is sufficient sunshine, the cotton will be harvested soon. This year, it has been more than ten days since the beginning of autumn.

"No, it's not that easy to run that big factory in Cangtou. Some people are even exchanging shares now." The old man sneered.

"The second family was also blinded by greed. They were planning to sell their shares, but when they saw they couldn't even sell 50,000, they started buying shares again."

"Maybe I can make some money. You never know in business." Qin Dahe shook his head.

The second master's family is a bit greedy, but they are not stupid. They must have had some calculations in mind before taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s different at Daddy’s house, it’s purely a dream come true.

He has never done business before, but he wants to make a lot of money by doing this. If he loses everything, his whole family will be in trouble for the rest of their lives if he makes a small mistake.

Although expenses in rural areas are low, not much can be saved. If you owe someone 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, it will take several years to pay it off.

Especially since his family charges high interest, the interest will be compounded after the due date.

"Erhu needs to learn to buy an excavator, right?" the girl asked curiously. It seemed that her family had money to buy an excavator, and even a piece of gold.

But she must be reluctant to take it out. The heavy gold looks so beautiful.

"I'll teach him later. This is a simple thing." He said nonchalantly.

"You can do it too?" The three of them widened their eyes. This guy who can pick up things with his mouth can do so many things.

"Yes, but operating an excavator is easy to learn but difficult to master. It takes a long time to do a good job. I only know the basics."

Operating an excavator is really simple. You just need to control it with a few handles. It is even easier than driving a car.

But if you want to do a decent job, you will definitely have to waste thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of oil.

The family chatted about these trivial matters while eating and dispersed after the meal.

Dad took a bag of black pine from his car and went to Limin Supermarket to chat with people, while Qin Dahe drove to pick up tofu dregs.

The number of fish on the sluice gate became fewer and fewer every day. The second day was still okay, and everyone caught more than 40 kilograms per person.

It stopped working on the third day, and my bowel movements were very sparse in the morning.

They only start to bite in the afternoon. Even with the sun warming up, there are still few fish bites, which means there is a problem with the resources.

"Uncle, you only won 40 pounds today, so I won't write it down." Qin Dahe said depressedly. He hadn't won the championship for three consecutive days, and today he was five pounds short again.

"I won't write anymore." Uncle Chen waved his hand.

Every time the fishing champion’s weight is added, the weight is added after it. I don’t have the nerve to write down today’s weight of over 40 kilograms.

The atmosphere of the chat was also much worse, and the fishermen felt different when they came up empty-handed.

Today several people came back empty-handed, only catching some small silver and bighead carp.

The team dispersed on the spot and returned to their respective private plots to fish.

The town has a well-developed water system. Apart from the Yuxi River, there are many places with resources. Everyone is an avid angler, so it is normal for them to have a few private plots.

Uncle Chen was planning to go somewhere else with Gangzi and the others, while the group from the Central Primary School were going to Xixiang near the county town to fish, and they also invited Qin Dahe to go with them.

"I won't go." He waved his hand.

Unless it was a lively scene like at Dazha, he was too lazy to go fishing with others.

Take a two-day break and go lure fishing by yourself.

There are only a few days left to play, and the cotton will be harvested soon.

The sun has been strong these days, and when looking at the farmland from the levee, you can see a lot of white spots, which are the result of the cotton blooming.

Once the cotton blooms in large quantities, you have to go to the fields to pick it, otherwise it will be easily stolen.

Even if someone goes to the fields with a bag to pick the fruits in the middle of the night, you won’t be able to catch them.

I delivered fish to the city again, and today there were only about 300 kilograms, 20 kilograms per person, which is indeed too little.

After deducting the cost of gas, I can barely earn enough to buy a cigarette, which is not bad.

After taking his money from Scar, the two of them chatted at the fish stall with cigarettes in their mouths.

"Is that all for today?" Scar said with a smile.

"There's nothing we can do. The water at the sluice gate has been cleared." Qin Dahe explained the situation with a wry smile.

Every time the water is released, the fish resources will be concentrated a little, and there will be no fish at other times. His bait for silver carp and bighead carp is too strong.

It is estimated that tens of thousands of kilograms of water were pumped into the sluice gate alone, which completely destroyed the resource point.

"Didn't Mr. Wang say we were going to build a loach nest?"

Scar has always been thinking about this. The consumer market in Tongling is not very good, and the fish price is average. It would be so nice if I could set up a fishing spot and find a boat to catch the fish myself.

"If we can't figure it out, then we can split the profits." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "Not everyone is as generous as you, willing to give us tens of thousands of dollars."

Mr. Wang and his brother-in-law also said that the loach nest can make money, and people want to hire them to do hard labor for 200 yuan a day.

Who would be willing to come all the way here to earn a few dollars? They can earn money at home.

I briefly explained the situation to Qin Dahe and helped him reject the offer. Then his brother-in-law went fishing on his own.

As a result, I put in more than 10,000 yuan in the nest, but didn't catch many fish.

Eventually, the news leaked out, and fishermen from the other side came over and forcibly dragged the fish away. By the time his brother-in-law got the news and sailed over, the fishermen had already disappeared.

Then two days later, while his boat was out working, he went over to cause trouble again, and destroyed the nest in two attempts.

I didn't lose much money, but after all the effort, I ended up with nothing.

"Professional people do professional things." He gave a thumbs up. "As far as fishing is concerned, you are definitely the best."

"Some money should be earned by others." Scar said with a smile
Even though someone disrupted the business last time, we still made a lot of money in the end. This is the benefit of spending a lot of money to hire someone.

For several days, Qin Dahe and his group were fishing with all their might, and outsiders would not leak the news.

"Haha, I understand the logic, but few people can actually watch tens of thousands of dollars go into other people's pockets." Human hearts are the most greedy.

After chatting with Scar for a while and finishing his cigarette, it was already a little after six o'clock, so he went home for dinner.

　Yesterday I met a book friend who had subscribed to the entire book and he criticized it from beginning to end. I didn't dare say anything. It was indeed my fault that some of the details were not written well.

　　All I can say is that I will continue to work hard.
