Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 339: Yuxi River's Great Harvest

The next morning at five o'clock, Qin Dahe got up on time according to the alarm clock.

The wind outside was still a bit cold, so I put on my leather pants and ran out like a thief, carrying the bucket.

When he got downstairs, the silly kid was already setting up the net, so he went to the side and started busying himself.

"How about it?"

"Lots and lots." The child showed a satisfied smile. "There are also a lot of big crucian carp."

Qin Dahe took a look and saw that the bucket was half full. He didn't know how many nets he had caught, but he brought a big red bucket today.

Last night, the two brothers cast ten large ground traps without putting out any shrimp cages, as they wanted to finish the job quickly and not let anyone see them.

The river management office has added new boats this year. If the net is discovered, it will definitely be lost, and there may even be a fine. We need to move faster.

Qin Dahe turned on his headlamp and started pulling the net.

The big ground trap is different from the small ground trap. The net needs to be loose to catch the fish. I just threw the earthworms and mud left over from yesterday's fishing into it as a bait bag, and the fish caught were pretty good.

The first net actually emptied out half a bucket, and there were still some fish whose names I didn’t know.

Among them were two male crabs weighing three taels, which were not very valuable, but there were also four river crucian carp and white eels, which was pretty cool.

The other fish were also very pretty, five small catfish and three jiang ang ji, which were not small in size.

"Holy crap, is the Yuxi River so fertile now?"

Qin Dahe was shocked. First Network had so many things going on?
I can’t see clearly what’s happening on Silly Kid’s side, but there’s a high probability that the catch is also good, which is cool.

After pouring two buckets, they are full. I cover them with clothes and don’t have time to sort them now.

The silly kid over there came over carrying a bucket.

"Brother, it's full." The child's face was filled with a happy smile.

The joy of this kind of harvest is something that no man can stop.

"Well, let's go there and bring back a few more buckets."

The two smiled at each other and quickened their pace to run up. It would be dawn in an hour at most, so there was no time to waste.

When they got home, Qin's mother had just gotten up and was cooking. She was very happy to see the two of them coming back with things in their hands.

"There are so many things. Hurry up and pull the net back to make noodles for you." She thought this was all the harvest.

"There's no time, Mom. Come with us to collect it. The internet is busted today." He said with a smile, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

We have to put the net away before daybreak, and I need my mother's help.

The silly kid went straight to the back to get the big transfer box. He was very familiar with the Qin family's warehouse. The two families were truly close friends.

"So many?" Qin's mother immediately started to change her rubber shoes after hearing this.

She also likes to collect the nets. People in the countryside like this kind of activity of fishing and catching shrimps.

Now that it wasn't raining, it would be fun for her to go for a run.

It is definitely not allowed when it is raining or when you are about to go into the water. Women can easily get sick if they soak in cold water.

The three of them happily carried the buckets up to the levee. This time they learned their lesson and brought lids with them.

After groping in the dark, they began to collect the net. Qin Dahe pointed out the location of a trap with his mother, and then he started to collect it himself.

After one cast of the net, half a bucket was full. Qin Dahe had no choice but to throw away the miscellaneous fish, and even the small whitebait, because the net was not able to hold any more.

The small whitebait in the river is delicious and is not inferior to other fish.

Fortunately, I was wearing gloves, otherwise I would have been injured. Many of the fish in it have spines.

There was another bucket, with a big catfish and a big river turtle in it, probably weighing about four pounds.

"Another hot commodity, the big river turtle." He said in a low voice.

"Where are my two big white eels?" Qin's mother happily poured the catch into the bucket and left the net alone, letting the two of them collect it later.

The mesh of the ground trap is relatively large, and the small white eels cannot be caught at all, and the same goes for river shrimps.

The shrimps I received today were relatively few, but they were all large river shrimps.

After collecting the six large traps, let my mother start transporting the fish.

She held two buckets in one hand and one in the other. All three buckets weighed over 100 pounds, but she carried them quite easily.

The two brothers were collecting traps, which they couldn't let anyone see, otherwise the fines would be worth it.

"Mom, go back and boil some water first." I'm a little hungry, so I have to eat first.

"I know, just do it quickly." Mother Qin responded and went upstairs.

After soaking the large ground trap in water and adding the lead weight, one ground trap weighs more than 20 pounds and is not easy to hold.

Qin Dahe was sweating after carrying five of them to the levee. He was so tired.

At this time, the sky was gradually turning white and lights could be seen from the supermarket.

I guess the two supermarkets are already open. Fortunately, there is no one on the levee.

The two brothers rushed down and threw the net into the yard.

At this time, the two transfer boxes in the yard were full of goods. The family members had not yet gotten up, so the child went to turn on the lights, and the two of them began to sort them.

"Are you still selling small fish?"

"Selling." The silly kid said with a smile, "This one is ten yuan this year."

Paired with some small crabs and avocados, a serving of top-quality small fish can be bought for just ten dollars.

"Haha, you can sell them all."

There were eleven crabs in total, packed in a nylon bag.

All the big crucian carp were left behind. We have exceeded our target today. There are at least forty of them here, which is enough to eat.

This kind of big crucian carp from Yuxi River is really beautiful. Just looking at its fur is beautiful.

Seven white eels, all big ones.

There were also two river turtles, one weighing over four pounds, the other a little over two pounds. These two would cost at least four hundred yuan. "What's the price of river shrimp now?" He hadn't sold fish in a while, so he didn't know the market.

The kid smiled innocently and said, "Forty-five, and this big one is sixty."

It's autumn now, and the price of river shrimp has gone up again.

"That's not bad." The large river shrimp here are only two kilograms, but they can be sold for more than one hundred yuan.

Qin Dahe even wanted to take a break from fishing for a long time. The Yuxi River was really great today.

But thinking that this is our own private land, there is no need to be so harsh, so I can only let it go.

I can make a lot of money by setting some ground hooks and using shrimp cages with my kids. When the weather gets cold, I can use the shrimp cages to catch more eels to eat.

The catch has been sorted, and the fish and other items are kept with water, while the crabs are directly packed in nylon bags.

Qin Dahe also took out two separate portions.

"Kid, I'll give this one to Grandpa to try, and you can have the other one."

"Brother, it's expensive." The child said in a low voice.

"Ce, you bought the wood worth more than 400 yuan without blinking an eye, and now you know it's expensive." Qin Dahe said unhappily.

"Hehe." The kid touched his head guiltily.

Ever since I became a carpenter's apprentice, I have been learning the market price of wood from my grandfather, and I want to buy anything cheap I see.

"Okay, you just got married to Baoer, so eat something good and don't go hungry." He scolded with a smile. "Why don't you spend so much money?"

He also picked out three crabs, two males and one female, and would send them to his eldest sister's house later.

The crabs are not at their fattest now and the price has not gone up yet, so just eat them.

Because he took the crucian carp and three crabs, he asked the kid to sell the other fish. The accounts must be a bit mismatched. The prices of these wild river crucian carp and silver crucian carp are quite high now.

Originally, Qin Dahe was thinking that things would have to be sorted out after his children got married, but since they had divided up a pile of gold last time, he didn't have to settle these small accounts anymore.

I believe Baoer won't mind. Qin Dahe thinks Baoer is pretty good and speaks and acts in a graceful manner.

"Let's go, eat first, then we'll go sell fish."

"I need to go back and get a knife and scissors to eat." The child said embarrassedly.

Baoer has prepared breakfast at home, so I must go back and eat with him.

"Now that I have a wife, life can't be the same as before." Mother Qin smiled and let the silly boy go home first.

It's just dawn now, there's no rush to sell the fish.

Good products are easy to sell, and most of the things here have to be exchanged for Scar's purchasing point.

Yanyan hadn't gotten up yet, but Qin Dahe had already eaten. Qin's father had also gotten up by then.

He will go to the fields to pick cotton berries later.

To do farm work, you have to get up early and work late, especially during the harvest time, you can't waste any time.

"Mom, can you fry some salty beans?" White porridge with pickles doesn't taste good, but I still have to wait for the silly kid.

"I know you're going to deliver something to someone, so load the goods into the car first."

"Oh."

We are going to ship goods to Hubei and Jinling today. The demand for silver carp and bighead carp bait in Jinling has decreased a lot recently.

It is probably because of the temperature drop that silver carp and bighead carp have difficulty in biting.

Hubei is much better. Two fishing tackle stores there ordered 400 kilograms. On the one hand, the temperature is higher, and on the other hand, the resources are abundant.

The province of a thousand lakes is no joke. Every time he sees pictures of fish caught by Hubei netizens on the forum, he is secretly envious.

These pictures were uploaded by the owner of a fishing tackle shop in Hubei. Each picture shows more than a dozen people sitting in a row.

There are many places like Dazha in Hubei.

His side is much inferior. In the Yuxi River, once the silver carp and bighead carp are caught, there is no more fishing.

Move the bait to the car, and put the fish on Hanwaer’s tricycle later.

Today the two of them acted separately. Qin Dahe went to the post office to get the remittance and distributed bait to people at the same time.

He can also go to the Internet cafe to use the forum. Although those special posts are still popular, he still has to make a splash.

I just don’t have many photos recently, so I can only copy some pictures from netizens for use as press releases. He is popular in the outdoor section, and netizens are willing for him to post pictures.

After the salty beans were fried, I ate two bowls of white porridge and a salted duck egg, and I felt much better immediately.

The salty beans fried in rapeseed oil, with some minced garlic and dried chilies, taste amazing.

The kid just came over on his bike, and there was a fishmonger inside.

He really works all year round. Whenever he has time, he sets the nets, including ground traps, shrimp traps, eel traps and ground hooks. He will never miss out on any opportunity to make money. The yard is full of these nets.

And no matter what kind of fish they sell, even small fish from other rivers, they can be processed and sold to others for three yuan each.

The main focus is not to waste anything, and we are familiar with the vegetable market.

After coming over, he started moving the fish without saying a word.

"I've sold the fish to you. I'll leave first." He threw a black pine over. This brother was still smoking Red Double Happiness.

He was reluctant at first, but Qin Dahe forced him to change. Baoer also knew that his family had so much money and supported him.

If you smoke those two or three dollar cigarettes for a long time, your throat will become hoarse than others.

"Brother, go and get busy." The kid lit a cigarette happily.

Looking at the fish caught in the tricycle, it was another big harvest.

He still didn't dare to set up the trap, but he was not afraid because his elder brother was leading him.

Qin Dahe smiled and shook his head, then started the car and drove off.
