Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 324

The next morning, Erhu, Tiedan and their wives got on Qin Dahe's car and went to transport the grain together.

Tiedan's wife was finally pregnant. Her father found out by taking her pulse because she vomited a lot.

In fact, ordinary people can also feel the pulse of happiness, and the beating feeling is very strong.

Three young couples went to Yuncao Town for inspection together. It was quite interesting to see everyone chatting and laughing.

Qin Dahe's Land Cruiser has seven seats, which can definitely accommodate six people.

However, he was asked to remove the back seats, and Erhu got a small stool to sit in the back.

When they arrived at Fenghuangqiao Township, they parked the car directly at the dock, and the three brothers helped their wife to the ferry.

Tiedan was very happy when he knew Zhaodi was pregnant.

I was riding a motorcycle tricycle to go for an inspection early this morning, and when I saw Qin Dahe was also going to the town, I simply called Erhu to go with him.

The three young women were chattering away, and because of the men, they got along pretty well with each other.

Yanyan’s belly is big now and it’s difficult for her to walk.

When he was five or six months old, he could still ride his scooter to visit friends and family, but now he wouldn’t dare to do that.

Because of her belly, everyone stayed away from her on the ferry.

Amei looked at Yanyan enviously, because she was pregnant with a girl.

But now that the family is rich, no one cares about the gender of the child. Erhu bought an excavator, and he can pay any fine, so he can just have more children.

Zhaodi was very nervous and kept asking questions about the examination.

"The doctor said it will take about four months to tell the gender of the baby, so don't be anxious." Yanyan reached out and touched Zhaodi's belly, as if giving her a blessing.

Twins are rare in themselves, and boy-girl twins are many times rarer than twins.

Anyway, since someone around here is pregnant, I have to come over to her place to sit and talk.

The three young women got ashore and started walking towards the hospital while shopping. There was no rush anyway, so they would have lunch at Yuncao at noon today.

Qin Dahe and the others were smoking in the back, while Tiedan was muttering with a bitter face.

That bastard Erhu bought an excavator and is the only one working in the welding shop. He is busy as hell during the day.

The weather is getting cold soon, and the work of sealing the front of vehicles has come in sporadically, including some motorcycle tricycles.

Not only have they modified it, but some major manufacturers also sell motorcycle tricycles, but they are difficult to find and the stores in the city are very hidden.

When these motorcycle tricycles see someone making the front of the car, they also want to come and do it, otherwise it would be too painful to drive in winter or in the rain.

"Someone even came to me this morning and asked me to raise the bed of the tractor."

Qin Dahe took out a cigarette and passed it around, then lit one for himself and took a deep breath. It was not convenient to smoke in the car and on the ferry just now, and he was almost suffocating.

"A tractor with a raised bed?"

"Yeah, the one from Ligezhuang seems to be helping people haul sand."

This matter is also related to the closure of the sand station. Sand can no longer be bought locally, so we have to go to other places to get it.

As time went by, the work of transporting sand actually increased.

"Hauling sand is quite profitable now. A tractor trip can earn at least two or three hundred yuan."

Tractors are the real gods in freight transportation. They can pull a lot, but they are a bit slow.

Moreover, the car is quite bumpy, so it can only be used for these rough jobs.

"It's too expensive. Tractors with big buckets are not cheap these days." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "There's no technology involved in this thing. You can save some scrap metal and build a whole diesel tractor."

"Haha, I'm so bored I have nothing to do."

The three men followed the woman, smoking cigarettes and laughing.

Yanyan was also very generous. When she came across a dried fruit store, she bought some things for her two little sisters to share.

The six people arrived at the hospital quickly. It was still crowded, especially the ultrasound area, where there was a long queue.

Let’s go directly to register and get a prescription. It’s more convenient if three of us go together.

After waiting for half an hour, the three young women arrived.

Unfortunately, the baby in Zhaodi's belly was too small and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

The fetal positions of Yan'er and Amei are both good. The ultrasound doctor still remembers Yanyan, even though she has only been here twice.

Both the ultrasound doctor and the doctor on duty advised her to take a walk when she had time and eat less oily food, otherwise it might be more difficult to give birth.

The little girl nodded with a bitter face, saying the same thing last time.

But she was just greedy. Her brother bought delicious food every day and her mother spoiled her, so there was always meat in the refrigerator.

I came out of the doctor's office disappointed and thought about looking for the nurse who examined me last time.

After searching for a long time and asking people, I found out that I was off duty today, so I left.

They waited in line at the hospital for the report, and two hours passed. By the time they left the hospital, it was already past nine o'clock.

Qin Dahe went to buy some snacks and took everyone to the movies.

Yuncao is really prosperous. There is a place to show movies in their town, but it is usually out of operation. They only show a few educational movies for students occasionally.

The movie I watched today was Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour". It's not a new release, but you can also watch it on the movie channel.

But everyone still watched the whole thing with great interest, it was both funny and exciting.

Jackie Chan and Chris performed very well, and the three men were very excited after watching it.

"Dahe, get me two of your guns." After seeing it, Erhu wanted to get a Yellow River toy gun.

That thing can make a hole in a wooden board, which is very exciting, enough to shoot birds and rabbits.

"Haha, I want to buy one too. The one with a short barrel is not fun. It would be better to have an air gun with a long barrel." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

As gun control becomes more and more stringent, he can no longer use his short barrel.

"I'll ask the client later."

There doesn't seem to be anywhere to buy it here, so I can only see if anyone brings the goods here.

The six of them went straight to the pier. The place they were going to have dinner today was the same restaurant where they had asked someone to roast catfish last time.

The food tasted really good. When we entered the shop, we saw quite a lot of customers. Half of the living room was occupied. "Boss, do you have a private room?"

"Yes, it's on the second floor." The boss smiled and nodded when he saw them. "Please go upstairs slowly."

He saw Yanyan's heart also lifted up, because his daughter-in-law's belly was so big just before giving birth.

"Yan'er, you guys go upstairs, I'll order the dishes."

"I'll wait for you for a while, let's order food together." The little girl was unwilling to let him order food alone.

A few people sat downstairs with the menu and started ordering. Of course they had to eat fish, so they took a look in the water tank and found that there were catfish.

Judging from the fur, it should be from Yuxi River. "Weigh this one."

"You want all of them?" the boss was a little unsure, as this one was over a hundred yuan. "I have half of it here, leftover from a customer's order."

"No, just weigh this one. How much is it?"

"Twenty-two yuan per pound, this is the selling price." The boss was very happy, this was a big customer.

The purchase price is around thirteen or fourteen, so the profit for one dish is not small.

The whole fish weighs 7.8 jins, and the dish costs more than 150 yuan.

Erhu ordered a plate of braised pork, and the little girl also wanted to order two meat dishes, but thinking of the doctor's instructions, she only asked for a plate of stir-fried stinky dried tofu with wild celery and a plate of cold-mixed water chestnuts.

Water chestnuts are also called water caltrops. It’s not the season yet, and I don’t know where the boss got them from. They are very rare.

This kind of fruit is usually picked when the weather gets cold. It tastes very good. Qin Dahe was also tempted by it.

"Boss, where did you buy this water chestnut?" He threw a cigarette over while the others went upstairs.

"My relative sent it to me from Ma'anshan. It's hard to buy now." He took the black pine and lit a cigarette with a smile.

Qin Dahe nodded when he heard it, "How much is one jin? Weigh two jin for me and bring it back to boil water."

"This thing is just a rarity. I'll give you two pounds when you pay the bill." The boss waved his hand.

This is considered a food stall, and the customers who come here to eat are not of high class.

The big customers spent hundreds of dollars on a table, but they just gave them water chestnuts for a few dollars.

"Haha, thank you."

The two of them were smoking and chatting while the kitchen was already cooking for them. It was already half past twelve and no customers had come in.

"By the way, let me ask you something." He stamped out his cigarette and looked at the boss. "We went to that loach nest last time, didn't we? I just saw some fishermen coming back from Sancha River."

"Loach nest?" The boss was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Hey, last month Boss Zhang and his team tried to drag two nets, and they're almost there."

He stared at Qin Dahe for a while and said, "It was you who came to report the news last time."

"Haha, you are such a forgetful person. Let's go upstairs and have dinner." He waved his hand and left.

The Sancha River has returned to normal and we can fish in the sedimentation area again.

As the density of sluice gates decreases, fishing spots are difficult to find, so the more options you have, the better.

When we got upstairs, only cold dishes and vegetables like water chestnuts were served, and the fish would probably take another twenty minutes.

Grilling fish requires a lot of skill, otherwise it will taste bad and ruin your reputation.

Qin Dahe found a waiter and went into the private room together.

"Stand together, let's take a photo today." After shouting this, Amei and the others immediately became happy. However, they hadn't been out on the street for a long time, and they didn't expect that they could take photos.

Six people squeezed together, everyone shouted "Cheese", and with a "click", the picture suddenly froze.

The picture taken with a film camera is better, but the functions of digital cameras are not satisfactory nowadays.

Erhu and the others also took the camera and took photos of each other individually.

"Yan'er is so lucky. She has an MP3, a camera and a pedal." Amei said sourly, looking at her man.

"That's right, I spend all my money on Yanyan." Qin Dahe added fuel to the fire.

"Damn it." Erhu suddenly felt a headache. "It's not just about buying an excavator, but also about going to the city to buy a house, and also moving to a new house."

Zhaodi just smiled and said nothing. Tiedan's money and gold were all with her. She could spend them however she wanted, but she just wanted to save some.

My parents are heartbroken, so I have to manage my own family well.

"Haha." Qin Dahe patted Erhu on the shoulder, "You knew you wanted me to buy you a gun, but you didn't know how to get something for your wife."

"The cotton harvest will start soon, and we'll start using the excavators next year. We need to earn money properly and stop wasting time."

He just joined in the fun and said a few words, then started eating when the fish and other dishes came in.

Tiedan felt relieved when he saw that the war did not spread to him.

I feel guilty. After all, I can't hide the fact that I cheated before getting married. If I live a good life, there will definitely be people gossiping about me.

"Eat more fish, Yan'er. Try some water chestnuts. They're sweet."

"Oh." The girl picked up two pieces of food with chopsticks in a depressed mood. It tasted good, but it was no match for the catfish.

The whole catfish is chopped into large pieces and braised with the fish bladder and fish roe inside, which is very fragrant.

After saying that eating fish roe would make you stupid, Qin Dahe picked up the whole fish roe and put it into his bowl.

Erhu and his friends were a step too slow, so they could only eat the fish belly, which was also very fat.

"I'll give you one piece, just one piece." Looking at his wife's wrinkled face, he felt a little sorry for her and took the fish bubble.

"Thank you, brother." When the fish bubble entered her mouth, her eyes narrowed. It was so delicious.

Amei and the others were immediately envious. Qin Dahe was indeed not serious sometimes and spoke without restraint, but he was also very good to his wife.

Erhu and the others followed suit and started picking up food for their wives.

The special aroma of wild celery goes well with rice. Pour some of the broth from the braised fish on it and it will be perfect.

I didn’t even finish the braised pork after the meal, which was impossible before.

But now the three families are living a good life and have enough money in their stomachs.

Yanyan asked for a take-out box and packed up the meat. Now, if you waste meat, you will really get beaten.

　Please give me monthly tickets. There is no double amount this month, so please give me more monthly tickets.
