Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 334

It was almost five o'clock when we arrived at the cotton-picking factory in Xinba, but the two cotton-collecting drivers were still delivering cotton.

The cotton is coming in slowly now, so naturally everyone is collecting it slowly.

The father and son went to the cotton-making factory, took out the trailer, and started dragging the cotton in.

"Ce, you two can produce so much in one day?" Director Li was also a little surprised. "I was worried about not having enough cotton to start working. They're harvesting too slowly."

"Qin Dahe is awesome. He even collects more cotton than anyone else."

Faced with everyone's praise, he just smiled faintly and started to weigh himself.

When the cotton is collected in the cotton-tying factory, it is weighed first, then poured out for inspection, and put into the stack directly after it is checked.

However, when Qin Dahe saw the few cotton pieces on the field and the roar of machines, he knew that work would be stopped at night.

"Why don't you sell those?" Director Li raised his eyebrows and pointed at the dozen or so bags of the best cotton.

"That cotton is of good quality. I'm thinking of taking it back to dry in the sun, and then come back to sell it as first-class cotton." He said truthfully.

"Haha, kid." He shook his head. He had been a factory manager for several years and already knew what was going on.

I didn't say much. I just had to wait for the cotton. The factory would wait for it. It didn't matter what I did now.

Since he is not busy now, he will weigh it himself.

As the factory director, he had very strict requirements on the quality of cotton. The cotton collectors in the factory were only qualified to buy second-grade cotton.

As long as it is first-class cotton, it must be approved by more than three shareholders or he must review it personally.

This eliminated the high prices for cotton that were created by favors in a society. Although it put many shareholders at ease, everyone was actually happy.

Now everyone is on the same boat, with debts and shares owed, and everyone is eager for the flower factory to make more money to be happy.

In total, more than 4,100 kilograms of cotton were sold, paid in cash, and the income was more than 14,000 yuan.

The profit from these cottons has reached more than 380 yuan, and after deducting the cost of gas, it is still over 300 yuan. There are also more than 1,400 kilograms of first-class cotton, which is the big profit.

The father and son settled the bill and happily boarded the ship to go home.

"Mom, you guys eat first, I'll marinate the lamb." When he got home, he started by taking care of the lamb.

We will have roasted whole lamb at nine o'clock tonight, so we have to eat dinner early.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. This sheep is quite big." Mother Qin said happily.

The lamb has been raised at someone's home for a few days. It now weighs more than 20 kilograms and is considered a big lamb.

But as long as it’s not an old lamb, it’s fine, because old lamb cannot be roasted.

Qin Dahe smiled bitterly when he saw the lamb kidneys and eggs beside him. He couldn't use them at all.

There are so many medicinal liquors in the attic. The girl got pregnant too quickly.

After marinating the lamb, use the remaining lamb tail oil to wrap the kidneys and lamb eggs and freeze them.

Once it’s formed, I bake it in the evening and feed it to the kids. None of them can eat it.

At the dinner table, Qin Dahe briefly talked about today's cotton harvest. When Qin's mother heard that he had made so much money, her reaction was average. During that period, fishing for black carp was the real way to make money.

"Hold on tight, big crucian carp."

"I know." He nodded sullenly, knowing that this was going to happen. "By the way, Mom, I met Uncle Xiangzi today."

Let’s change the subject first. I’ll go fishing when I’m free in a couple of days.

"What's wrong? Does his family also collect cotton?"

"No, they said they didn't get a spot in the lottery, so we have to wait ten days or so before we can start collecting."

"It's none of our business. His family is so powerful that they wouldn't be so arrogant if they came to borrow money." Mother Qin was a little unhappy and didn't want to bother with that.

Her family invested 5,000 yuan and her brother invested 20,000 yuan. She got angry when she thought about it.

"The old man is so bored that he lends money to people for business."

Normally, people in rural areas help in emergencies but not in poverty, especially among relatives.

Even if it is like borrowing money from his family, they will only lend out a small amount at interest and will definitely not lend out more than that.

"He has two sons to rely on, why don't you try to borrow one?" Qin's father curled his lips. "At that time, Rong Xiang was studying, and our family had to carry food to relieve famine."

When our family was not well off, my father-in-law was even more stingy than he is now.

"Why are you saying this in front of the child? If you don't want to eat, get out." Seeing his wife's fierce look, Qin's father immediately stopped and dared not to nag anymore.

"My family treated you badly. What did you have when you got married? You took me home with just two pieces of clothing."

"Isn't it always like this?"

Hearing their father mumbling, the young couple laughed out loud. They really enjoyed listening to this gossip.

After dinner, Qin Dahe began to prepare the roasted whole lamb in advance, which would take at least two hours.

The four of us gathered together tonight, and we brought our wives along, so we finally had a meal together.

The mutton has not been marinated yet, but Qin Dahe doesn't care. He has already cut a lot of cuts with a knife and will spread the sauce on it later.

Yanyan volunteered to start burning charcoal, and Qin Dahe welded the rack specially used for roasting lamb to the shaft of the roasting machine.

The motor of the roasting machine is low speed, which is just right for roasting lamb.

Qin's mother took down the drum at noon and cleaned it at the same time.

I fry nuts every day, and the shells underneath have turned gray.

Then the lamb was hung on the roasting rack, and the bright charcoal fire came over.

"Yan'er, bring the clay pot. There are some water vegetables in the refrigerator. Put them and the bacon on the charcoal fire to simmer them to reduce the internal heat." He eats a lot of meat and has been suffering from a lot of internal heat this month.

Mizuna is the meat of river clams, which is cold in nature, so women should eat less.

The three of them were not afraid, but each one was more angry than the other.

"Uh-huh."

Qin's mother also started to help make a bowl of cold dishes, which were not too greasy as the vegetarian dishes.

After the work is done, there is a lid welded with iron sheets to cover the sheep, and the job is done.

I lit a cigarette and sat happily by the fish pond, enjoying the rare leisure time.

The moon is full on the 16th, and today is the 17th. The moonlight above the fish pond is particularly clear.

The girl also brought a stool over, and Qin Dahe quickly stood up to help.

"Just call me."

"Hey, it's not like I can't walk anymore." She smiled complacently, knowing that her brother loved her.

"You are free now. Wait until we pick the fruits from home and I'll get a bench for you to peel them every day." He said with a smile.

"Hey, I haven't peeled it yet."

When she was a child, her family had no land, and labor was not valuable at that time. It was not like now, when many families hire children to pick cotton at home.

Qin Dahe was just teasing her. How could he let a pregnant woman peel cotton? It would be so uncomfortable with her belly pressed against it.

At most, let her be a supervisor and watch Ah Hao and his kids work.

The young couple sat by the fish pond and talked about their childhood, laughing from time to time.

The two dogs lay down at Qin Dahe's feet tactfully, and it just so happened that Yanyan couldn't play with dogs at the moment.

After a few months, and with the autumn molting, the color on my body finally faded, but I also developed the habit of not going out at night.

Sang Biao walked around with a hammer hanging from his head. He was released for two days in September and ended up beating up all the cats and dogs around him.

Because of the fight, he got two more scars on his head and his eyes were almost blind.

The cats in the countryside are very ferocious in combat. Sang Biao is young, and no matter how ferocious he is, it is impossible for him to be invincible in the entire village.

Look, you've been tied up by me again.

Feifei still stayed quietly in the attic, which was its nest, and quietly looked at the whole family below.

"Brother, that's so nice." The little girl tilted her head into his arms.

"Haha, the good days are yet to come." He chuckled, and his fatigue from the day seemed much less.

This is the meaning of staying in the countryside. If you were in a big city, it wouldn’t be so comfortable.

Although I am tired now, I am really happy and don’t have to worry about those trivial things.
