Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 34 Fishing Preparation
"Erhu, go get me some more wheat and soak it until it sprouts. Then we can go build a grass nest."

"Okay, how much do you want?" Erhu grinned foolishly, obviously having drunk a little too much.

"At least ten kilograms of wheat will be enough."

Ten kilograms of wheat only cost a few dollars, but it was troublesome. He could handle these things himself, but it would be a waste of time if he was the only one to provide the food.

Ask the brothers to help him get more, and then we can share the money when we go fishing.

The weather is getting cold soon, and it will be difficult to catch big fish except carp, so whatever you can catch now is better.

"Silly boy, go catch some grasshoppers. They need big ones. You'll need at least a whole can."

"What, always, always, always?"

"The temperature has dropped during the National Day holiday, so let's go fishing for grass carp. There are still five or six days left, so there's no rush."

It takes two or three days for wheat to germinate after being soaked in water. Then use malt and some bait to keep the bait for a few days and then use grasshoppers and malt to fish.

He had seen a lot of this knowledge on Douyin in his previous life, so he didn't know whether it was true or not, but many netizens in Sichuan said that these two things were useful tools for catching grass carp.

The fresh aroma of malt can attract grass carp to stay and eat. When the weather gets colder, grass carp needs to eat meat to gain weight, and grasshoppers are just the right bait.

He plans to give it a try, and if it works, he will hold two events every year.

It is definitely not possible to do it alone. It is nonsense to continuously maintain the nest, guard the nest, and then go home after fishing for a day.

He planned to fish with four people for two or three days in a row to get more fish to sell.

The other three people were very convinced of him. Qin Dahe had made a lot of money during this period and he could also weld. It would definitely be a good idea to hang out with him.

"Brother, grass carp?" The silly kid looked at him.

"Well, I'm fishing for grass carp and carp now, and I'm preparing earthworms for the winter."

"The fruit is useful." He pointed to the big mulberry tree at the door.

Although some of the red fruits on it cannot be eaten, they will attract fish to fight over them if they fall into the river.

"Take them all with you. They'll keep the nest for several days." Qin Dahe nodded.

In later generations, some people used mulberry trees to catch grass carp, but the prerequisite was that there had to be a grass carp nest.

Without a nest, there is a high probability that you will come up empty-handed when trying to pick mulberry fruit.

The purpose of making a nest is not to lure fish. It is nonsense to say that it can lure big fish. Big fish are cruising in the water looking for food and are difficult to lure.

After a heavy nest is dug, big fish will not eat immediately when passing by. They will try and stay, and then swarm in after the first fish bites.

Make a nest for a few days in a row so that the fish will no longer be alert and stay nearby to eat at any time, thinking that this is a food refresh point, then it will be easy to catch them.

The cost of bait is not high in the countryside. Unground wheat costs only a few cents per pound. Now grass carp costs three yuan, and a big grass carp is very valuable.

I asked Erhu about the length of his rod, and he would prepare to make the main line and sub-line when he got back.

We only have a 7+5 line set at home, but it is definitely enough for catching grass carp and carp. It is much better than using hemp line.

If you are fishing for crucian carp, the 1.0 line group is still too thick.

"Silly boy, can you tie thin line?" he asked. Hanwa is the best at traditional fishing, so he should be good at it.

The silly kid nodded when he heard that.

"He can draw threads from nylon ropes and tie hooks to them, so he must be able to do it." Tiedan agreed.

Although the thin line inside the nylon rope is not professional fishing line, it is very thin and most people cannot tie it up.

"Yes, last winter he caught a lot of big crucian carp by himself and sold them for a lot of money."

"Okay, I'll go to the city to buy some thin thread later. Please help me get more string."

"Okay." The silly kid continued, "Tie more and use them."

What he meant was to help Qin Dahe tie more so that he could use them in daily life.

"Then it's up to you."

When fishing for big crucian carp, if a 1.0mm line can catch a three-jin fish, then using a 0.4mm or 0.6mm line will definitely result in a lot of bites. The thinner the line, the less the fish care, and there will be no such vigilant temptation, and no resistance. He just caught a circle of snakehead in the outer river yesterday, and he was going to rest for a while and find another opportunity to catch more.

There are still many wild ponds that have not been searched, and there are many snakehead fish hiding in these places.

Qin Dahe picked up a piece of sausage. It was very oily and sweet, and delicious.

"Brother, let's have a drink." Tiedan started toasting again.

They didn't drink formally with others, didn't play finger-guessing games, just said "have a drink".

"Drink it all, finish this bottle." He accepted everything.

It’s so nice to drink with brothers. If you can drink, drink. If you can’t, everyone will just laugh at you.

The business drinking parties in my previous life were terrible. I had to drink even if I couldn't, even if I vomited. If I didn't drink, it would be considered disrespectful. Damn it, I ruined my health by drinking myself to death at the age of 40. I'm not as energetic as I am now.

"Big brother, toast to you."

"Drink, haha."

But the silly kid was really silly, he just swallowed it in one gulp.

Qin Dahe had no choice but to drink with them. Since they had already toasted, he should at least follow the table rules.

After taking a sip of wine, my stomach felt hot and it took a while to feel better.

"Kid, you have to drink slowly, one sip at a time."

"Yeah." The silly kid nodded as usual, picked up the braised duck and started eating.

His physical condition is really good. He can eat and drink a lot and he is very strong. It doesn't take much effort for Qin Dahe to take him out.

The other two people did not say anything about sharing the money when going out to catch black fish with him. Hanwa's family was poor, and Qin Dahe was willing to take him with him for a while longer in the hope of getting some financial support.

When there is no side job and no odd jobs, rural people's time is worthless, so go fishing with him to earn more money.

Unless the net of the ground trap explodes, you can only take the miscellaneous fish and shrimp home to eat. Who would buy even a little bit of it?

After the meal, Erhu and Tiedan both felt a little dizzy. It was definitely their first time drinking so much that they were not used to it.

But Qin Dahe was not dizzy. He was used to it in his previous life, so he could still get half a pound now.

"You two go lie down on the bed for a while. I'll help grandma clean up the table."

As he said that, he helped the two of them to lie side by side on Silly Boy's bed.

"Don't bother, just sit down for a while, I'll do it." If grandma didn't let him do it, how could he clean up the dishes after the guests came?

He didn't argue, but took out two cigarettes from his pocket and lit one for his grandmother.

"Hehe, mine is not as good, let grandma try it." He nodded with his head tilted. The silly kid watched them chatting and went to fetch water from the pool at the back.

"It's good. We used to smoke three cents a pack."

Since she had lit the cigarette, grandma didn't rush to work, otherwise the cigarette would be wasted.

"Grandma, I'll definitely be able to find a wife in the future." He said this naively, his face slightly red, obviously due to the alcohol.

Because grandma has no teeth, she can only take a puff of the cigarette by holding the butt. After she finishes the puff, grandma nods seriously.

"Hanwa will follow you to make money in the future, so please take care of him more."

"Of course, hey, I need a helper too."

He had some understanding of each family's thoughts, but the priority was definitely the silly kid.

I don’t have any brothers at home, so if I want to start a business in the countryside in the future, I will definitely need a trustworthy helper, and Hanwa is the first choice.

As for other relatives, you can interact with them, but forget about making money together. If things go wrong, you might not even be able to be relatives anymore.
