Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 336 Fishing for Big Crucian Carp (Part )

The cotton harvesting work was carried out in an orderly manner. Qin's father and son specifically chose places with inconvenient transportation to harvest, and they were much faster than others.

In just three days, they harvested 20,000 kilograms of cotton.

There were about 4,000 kilograms of white cotton piled up at home, which was almost as good as first-grade cotton. Qin's mother dried it every day.

Fortunately, my yard is big and there is a place to dry the clothes. It only takes half a day to finish. I fill it with the good cotton at home and it is just the right size.

The father and son delivered more than 4,000 kilograms of cotton to the cotton-tying factory. The quality of the cotton was indeed first-class, and the factory director paid for it readily.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if the factory doesn’t accept it. There are people who want it even if you send it to the cotton-fluffing places.

Ten acres of land can only produce six or seven hundred kilograms of this good cotton.

Unfortunately, we don’t have much first-class cotton left. After this mixing, the next time we receive good cotton, we can only sell it at the original price.

After selling the quota of 20,000 kilograms, we have to go fishing for big crucian carp.

That morning, Ah Hao and several other kids brought earthworms over.

Three pounds of dried ones and two pounds of fresh ones.

Now that the temperature has dropped, it’s impossible for one child to dig it out, so several children dug it together.

"Ahao, divide the money among yourselves." Qin Dahe handed over sixty yuan.

"Yeah, thank you, Brother Dahe." The little kids' eyes lit up when they saw the sixty yuan. The Qin family was really generous.

Fresh earthworms are also useful. He wants to make a worm nest to catch big crucian carp.

At this time, Erhu also came over, and the two of them prepared to go fishing together. His wife and he had the same due date, and they also wanted to catch big crucian carp.

His family hasn't finished harvesting the cotton yet, but it's okay for his father to go out and do this job.

"Brother Daha, are you selling this bicycle?" The two were busy preparing things. Ah Hao pointed at the blue bicycle in the yard and drooled.

This kind of women's bike is just right for kids like him, and the seat is adjustable.

"If you want it, it's new." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "I'll sell it to you for 100 yuan. This bicycle sells for 220 yuan in Yuncao."

Anyway, no one in my family rides a bicycle, and Ah Hao has helped me with a lot of things, so I might as well sell it to him at a low price.

"I don't have enough money." The little guy had a bitter face. He was the most diligent kid in doing side jobs, but the expenses were also high.

When I make money, I buy spicy food, toy guns, and many other things. Now I can’t walk when I see a bicycle.

"Haha, how much is missing?"

"I have more than sixty dollars." This is a huge sum of money in the hands of a child.

The money from catching lobsters in the summer has been spent, and it was only because I got this much money after splitting thirty cents from digging earthworms this time.

Qin Dahe smiled when he heard that and said, "Just ride away. You can figure out how to handle the rest of the money yourself."

It doesn't matter if I really can't pay him back, but Ah Hao is a loyal person. Even though his grades are not that good, he is a decent person.

"Thank you, Brother Dahe." Ah Hao was immediately happy when he heard that. It would be so nice to have a bicycle to ride in advance.

"I will definitely return it to you in winter." He said seriously.

"Ah Hao, I'll lend you 20."

"Me too, I have thirty-five on me."

The two companions next to me refused to do it. If my brother wants to buy a bicycle, I must support him.

Although they were envious, few people were willing to buy bicycles for their children nowadays, but they still had to help their brothers.

Erhu and Qin Dahe looked at the three people and felt quite touched. They were almost the same when they were young.

When I was in junior high school, I played video games. If we didn’t have enough coins, we would pool them together and three of us would take turns playing with one coin.

The silly kid only went to second grade and then stopped studying, so he didn't play with us.

"Okay, let's ride away." After taking a pile of banknotes, Qin Dahe waved his hand and pushed the bike out.

After the little guys went out, they also began to prepare things for fishing for big crucian carp.

A five-meter bamboo pole with a small hook and thin line. Today I brought 1.0 and 0.6, but I didn’t even bring a scoop net.

Anyway, the target fish is not a big one, so if it runs away, it runs away.

"If you don't go welding today, Tiedan will definitely scold you." He said with a smile.

"Hey, who knew there would be so many orders? I'll just help him work overtime tonight."

The modification business is pretty good recently. Two large tricycles are waiting, one with closed doors and the other with widened doors.

A while ago, an extended car failed, and now people don’t like extended cars very much.

After packing up my things, I put the fishing rod on the roof of the car and secured it with a rope. The Land Cruiser couldn't accommodate such a long bamboo pole.

The temperature today is still a bit low. Although there was sunshine in the morning, it is probably around 23 or 24 degrees Celsius now. He put on a coat and the two of them set off directly.

When we arrived at the subsidence area of Sancha River, the sand station was closed and the surrounding area was very desolate.

Apart from the occasional passing vehicle, there was no one to be seen.

The river breeze was quite cold. After rubbing their hands, the two began to move things.

I brought relatively few things today, just a lifting bench, a small fish guard, and a piece of wood board for chopping earthworms later.

When I got down there, I used a shovel to clean up the fishing spot.

There are not many people fishing here, and there is nothing by the river except sheep dung balls and green grass.

Looking around, the vast expanse of space, under the blue sky and white clouds, Qin Dahe felt that the resolution of his eyes had increased.

Then he took out a wooden board and a kitchen knife, "Erhu, it's your job." He looked at the earthworm with disdain.

Today's catch was calculated separately for both of them. Whoever caught the most fish got it. He would drive, pay for the gas, and provide the bait, while Erhu would be in charge of the worms. "Got it."

He took the kitchen knife, took out the bucket and started digging mud into it, then chopped the earthworms like minced meat.

After chopping it, throw it into the mud and start kneading it into "dough". The taste is amazing.

"Ce, it stinks so bad." Erhu was almost suffocated to death, "Is there no better nesting material?"

"This is the most convenient and lowest cost method." Qin Dahe said helplessly.

Earthworm nest is considered to be the top nesting material for catching crucian carp, and it is very useful for wild fishing.

He took out a chili bottle from the bucket, filled it with powder, and poured some more into it.

"What is this?"

"Human Yellow Powder." Qin Dahe said this deliberately, but it was actually pig feed essence.

"Fuck, you're so disgusting." How could someone be so filthy? "I quit."

I looked at the thing on my hands with tears in my eyes, and wanted to smell it but didn't dare.

"Haha, just kidding, this is pig feed." He wanted to laugh when he saw the pig holding the hair in his mouth and looking depressed.

Erhu: “.”

This guy must have something wrong with him. He used that thing to make fun of him and he wanted to throw a lump of it at him.

But it’s cold now, and once the shit war starts, it will be difficult to wash it, so I have to give up.

He rolled the earthworms into balls with mud and started to cast bait. This time, the two of them were about three meters apart and fished in two different baits.

Just throw two balls of bait into one nest. It is nine o'clock now. Replenish the nest in the afternoon.

If you bait the fish too heavily at one time, it is easy for the fish to die and you will not be able to fish.

Qin Dahe uses a 4.7-meter line set, which retrieves fish quickly and is comfortable to cast.

The bait is his homemade commercial bait, with some fruit acid corn crumbs added to it to increase the fish's desire to bite.

It should still take some time for the fish to break out, but he was too lazy to wait. He tested the water depth, cast the rod directly and put it on the stand.

The float I brought today is 2.5 grams. The water level in Yuxi River has almost receded and the current is not fast now.

I lit a cigarette, sat comfortably on the bench and listened to music. I also brought Yanyan's MP3 today.

What is popular now is listening to tapes, and all kinds of songs are very popular.

However, Qin Dahe likes to listen to old songs, and his MP3s contain Cantonese songs with a strong sense of time.

Among them, several songs by Wong Ka Kui were his favorites, and he would hum them while fishing.

"Steel Ingot Pot"

"The cold night is full of shi biu."

The strategy is to float to the top, and even the last "guo" vibrato is produced.

He quickly grabbed the fishing rod and caught a willow-leaf bream weighing over a pound.

"How come this kind of stuff came to me?" He threw it into the fish basket with disgust, and the pot-lid bream finally looked a little better.

"It's good to have it." Erhu also wore headphones and was listening to a tape. The tape recorder belonged to Amei.

He put the bait on the rod again and cast the rod, continuing to hum the song. He always felt that this song had a BUFF bonus.

There was no movement for the next twenty minutes. Then a bigmouth catfish weighing less than three pounds came up from Erhu's side. It swam for a long time and was pulled up with hand water.

"I should have brought a landing net."

"Tsk, I don't want this little catfish anyway. It's useless." He shook his head.

I cast the rod again, and it seemed that the fish had caught fire, and there was a dense and fine smell of fish on the water surface.

Less than a minute after the bait entered the water, it began to shake slightly.

"Swish!" He shook his hand and stabbed the fish, relying on his strong arm to exert force directly from his wrist.

The fish began to struggle against the fishing line. Feeling that it was not working, I pulled hard. Soon, a big crucian carp was pulled up.

"Haha, the target fish finally came." It was almost an hour after we sat down that the big crucian carp finally arrived.

The crucian carp from big rivers and lakes have bright and small scales, but are still large in size, making them perfect for making soup for wives.

You can rest assured that the fish you catch may come from a stinky ditch.

After the first crucian carp was caught, more and more crucian carps of different sizes were caught.

Moreover, the phenomenon of hanging the earth is much less today. Only two lines have been cut so far, which is much better than last year.

It seems that the county took advantage of the receding water time to clean up the river.

"Haha, this is awesome, it weighs at least one kilogram." Looking at the big crucian carp struggling on the fishing line, I felt so happy.

I caught seven crucian carps in less than two hours, three of which were as big as big crucian carp. I think I can complete the task in two days.

He didn't throw away the remaining small fish, and planned to put them into the fish pond to raise.

It's already a little after eleven o'clock. I didn't bring any food today, so I'm going to eat on the dining boat.

"Do you want to accept the things?" Erhu was also very happy. The fish were biting really well today.

Earthworm nests are useful.

"I won't put it away. Let's hide it in a corner." It's so troublesome to carry so many things in the car and take them out again.

The two hid their things, got in the car and went to Fenghuang Bridge for dinner.
