Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 328

Liu Da's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's awesome."

"Haha, it's not that great. Other factories also sell it. It's only good for catching small fish."

Qin Dahe talked about the baits of fishing gear manufacturers such as Laogui and Longwanghen. At present, there is still no universal bait on the market.

There are many types of bait such as the "old three" that require you to adjust the proportions according to the fish conditions.

For fishing experts, the old three are better to use, but novices are more adapted to this universal bait.

"This bait is very useful for catching crucian carp."

"It's good for catching crucian carp, and it's better than selling earthworms." Since he wanted to open a fishing tackle store, he must have done market research.

At present, the most popular bait is earthworms, followed by corn, and the rest are various commercial baits.

The king of meat baits and the king of vegetarian baits are no joke. Twenty years later, they will both be the big brothers in the bait industry.

However, in the fishing circles he came into contact with in Shanghai, people did not like to use earthworms, but preferred corn and commercial bait.

In the final analysis, those who like fishing in Shanghai now all come from well-off families, and they think earthworms are dirty.

The biggest problem with these three baits is that it is troublesome to prepare the bait. Even the quick attack and shrimp powder are separate, which is not suitable for beginners.

You need to bring several bags when you go fishing, but the commercial bait he made is both universal and convenient, similar to the "blue crucian carp" or "one bag does it all" in later generations.

Seeing a child about ten years old running hurriedly from the yard gate, he called out "Ahao".

"What's wrong, Brother Dahae?" Ah Hao stopped in a panic.

He made a lot of money from Qin Dahe by digging earthworms, picking snails, and selling shrimps to his second uncle.

Because of my poor grades, my family no longer cares about me, so it's nice to be able to contribute a little to the household expenses.

"Don't you have school this afternoon?"

"National Day holiday."

Damn it, Qin Dahe slapped his forehead and forgot about it.

"Please help me dig some earthworms and dry them. I want three pounds. I'll give you sixty yuan."

"Brother Dahe, you are awesome. I will dig it for you right away." Ah Hao became excited as soon as he heard that he could earn dozens of dollars.

The price is not high. You need to dig out more than ten pounds of earthworms from three pounds, and then you have to dry them in the sun.

It would take a whole day just to dig in the watermelon field or under the haystack, and the children would be busy for a long time.

"Don't run yet." Qin Dahe pulled the little guy into the yard, took a handful of White Rabbit tea from the table and handed it to him.

"I'll call you right now to peel the cotton berries. I'll give you ten cents per pound."

When Ah Hao heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. It was good to be able to make money. It was especially good that Brother Dahe was willing to give money, while others only gave five cents.

Families with large fields cannot peel all the cotton berries, so they have to ask children in the village to do it for them.

The normal payment is five cents according to the amount of cotton peeled. However, the Qin family will be busy in the second half of this year, so they just give ten cents.

Ten kilograms of cotton only costs one dollar, which is enough to buy some food for the children.

Watching the child running to find someone to dig earthworms, Qin Dahe smiled faintly, he was so energetic.

Turning to look at Liu, he explained, "The flavor of the commercial bait is dried earthworms, shrimp powder, and grain-flavored ingredients."

Since there is a guest today, and he is the one who came, I definitely can't go to work in the fields and leave him alone.

I simply called Gangzi and asked him where they were fishing, and brought him over to play. It was only a little after 1:00 p.m. anyway.

When he learned that Gangzi and the others were in Nanxiang, he immediately prepared to set off.

"Did you bring your fishing gear?"

"I only brought a rod, bait, a stool, and other things. I didn't even bring a fish basket or a scoop net."

"Take your fishing rod with you, we're going to Nanxiang to have some fun, get in my car." He pointed to the Land Cruiser in the garage.

"Row."

Qin Dahe brought a sack of bait, and maybe the fishermen would buy some later.

Liu was shocked when he saw the giant scoop net and fish guard.

"So big?"

"Maybe we can catch one or two hundred kilograms." He also took a transport box, thought about it, and took a bag of commercial bait. Maybe he could catch some crucian carp later. It just so happened that my mother wanted big crucian carp.

As soon as the car drove out, the two of them immediately loaded their things in.

"Tsk tsk, Land Cruiser makes you drive like this." As a Shanghai native, you must know the Land Cruiser.

Because it hasn't rained for about a month, the car is covered in dust and has scratches. It was hit last time and hasn't been dealt with yet.

"Haha, we're only here to use the car, why take such good care of it? Get in."

Seeing that his elder sister had brought Binbin back, he said hello and set off. He went up the levee and headed all the way to the town, then turned southwest and soon arrived at a place called Xiaohekou.

This is where four water systems converge, and many people go fishing here.

However, there are only transport ships coming and going in the center, but no large nets or trawlers. Mr. Wang and his team have been here for a long time.

When we got there, Gangzi and the others all greeted us. Six fishermen sat in a row. It was pretty impressive that they could even find time to fish during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qin Dahe responded with a smile and introduced Da Liu who was beside him.

"This is the second place in the international fishing competition. It's hot."

"So awesome." Gangzi and the others immediately surrounded him.

Everyone asked about the competition. After all, the biggest competition they had ever experienced was the Dazha Fishing Competition.

"Haha, don't be fooled by Dahe. I just used his silver carp and bighead carp bait to get second place. I'm not necessarily better than you guys."

Qin Dahe started to install the fishing platform on the side. Since he only brought one fish guard, he installed two fishing platforms together and placed the fish guard in the middle.

Gangzi and his friends specially made room for them in the middle seat. Boss Qin definitely had to give them face when entertaining guests.

"Da Liu, everyone here is fishing for silver carp and bighead carp. Let's play together for two hours. They have already set up the bait."

"Thank you all very much." Liu Da showed excitement on his face.

There are not many people fishing for silver carp and bighead carp in Shanghai at present, so he usually goes out with three or four people to fish for small fish.

After the fishing platform was installed, Qin Dahe started preparing the bait and then called his mother to ask her to cook some good food in the evening.

Da Liu was still excitedly chatting with Gangzi and the others about the competition, with saliva flying all over the place.

"Come over and tie the fishing line, big man." He said with a smile.

"Oh, here I come." He hurried over and started working.

Qin Dahe didn't wait, he went straight to the fishing bowl next to him and took out a handful of fish and wrapped it on the spring hook.

"Old Yan, how deep is the water?"

"It's about 3.5 to 4 meters, and we only fish for 1.5 meters."

He nodded and started to fish. This was the hottest time of the day in autumn, so it was really good to fish shallower.

Casting with a 7.2-meter glass rod tests wrist strength and eyesight, and most of the anglers here have mastered it.

Since the nest was well dug, the fish took a bite after two casts.

As the float rose and fell slightly, it soon reached one and a half eyes.

"Swish!" He shook his hand and stabbed the fish.

As the sound of cutting water rang out, Qin Dahe began to control the fish easily.

"The silver carp and bighead carp here are not big?" He was a little disgusted. It looked like they were only four or five kilograms at most.

"It's like this now. The sluice gate with the best resources has been emptied, and there are no fish anywhere else." Gangzi said with a wry smile.

"There are a lot of netters here too. We even had a fight with one the day before yesterday. We put a lot of effort into this fishing spot."

"Haha, fighting is normal. I even brought a crossbow with me when I was fishing in Sancha River."

He quickly pulled up a five-jin silver carp and threw it back into the small pond. He didn't want to sell it specifically because it was so small.

Da Liu was very excited when he saw this, and when he felt that there was no bite, he started to change the bait.

His bait was almost awake, so Qin Dahe began to shake it out to loosen it up a bit.

"You guys have really good fishing! They're active as soon as the float drops," said Da Liu enviously. "There aren't even this many fish in Taihu Lake. You must have chosen a place where fish gather most often for our competition."

"The resources in Shanghai are very poor?"

"It's terrible. There are too many network workers and electricians, and we can't handle it. Many people go sea fishing." He sighed when he thought of the resources in Shanghai.

"Why don't you go?" You can tell his family is rich by looking at the Duke's car he drives. A car costs four or five hundred thousand.

As he was speaking, he caught another fish with his rod.

"Ce, awesome." Liu was envious when he saw how quickly he caught fish. "When I go to the ocean, I feel uncomfortable all over. I feel dizzy and want to vomit."

"It's really lively when a large group like you come out to fish for silver carp and bighead carp."

"Haha, when the sluice gate has cargo, there are only about twenty people squatting on the shore."

Qin Dahe talked about the fishing scene at that time. It was incomparable with later times, but it was quite lively now.

"Sixty or seventy kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp?"

"Yes, there are quite a few weighing forty or fifty kilograms. Those big fish heads must be delicious to eat." He drooled at the thought of those big fat heads. There must be a lot of meat in the fish heads.
