Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 340 Bait Market
I drove to the carpenter's workshop first and sent Angji there.

Grandpa was naturally happy, but he still scolded him for buying a carpenter's workbench.

"You just know how to waste money. What can't you do with more than 10,000 yuan?"

"Grandpa, this thing is very convenient. It would be a good idea for you two, master and disciple, to make more beads to sell in the winter." He said with an apologetic smile.

The mother-in-law also spoke up to help, so the old man had to give up.

Then I started asking him what was on his workbench. Although I was unhappy, I was still curious about the new stuff.

Qin Dahe simply talked about a set of things.

"That one has a set of inner triangle lathe heads. I drew the pattern myself. It can drill square and triangular holes in wooden boards, etc."

"Can you also carve this?" Grandpa had a puzzled look on his face. He had only seen blades that could make round holes.

"Haha, you'll know when it arrives." He handed over the half-pack of cigarettes in his hand. "I'm going to go do something now, you can keep it."

"Go ahead." Holding a cigarette, the grandfather lit it happily. This son-in-law is pretty good.

He would send good fish to me as soon as he got them, and he even spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy tools for himself.

It’s just half a pack of cigarettes, so don’t be polite. We’re family.

Watching Qin Dahe go away, the mother-in-law looked even more proud as she carried the five big bags.

"Isn't our son-in-law okay? He still has a good face."

"I didn't say anything." The old carpenter said nothing and went to the carpentry workshop to start working.

There is still work to do today, and Hanwa will come back soon after selling the fish to help him.

On the other side, Qin Dahe drove to his sister's house and sent Ang Ji there.

I don’t have any fish left at home today, but we still have a big mandarin fish, which can at least last for two meals.

"Abao, this fish is so good." Sister took the fish with a smile. It was just past seven o'clock and Binbin was still sleepy.

"Give it to Binbin. I got some from the Yuxi River last night. Just cook it."

I took the cigarette from my brother-in-law and chatted with him for a while.

Now the fertilizer store is starting to become quiet again, mainly because of debt collection.

"My dad said that next year, except for those who grow crops, fertilizer will no longer be sold on credit. It will be too difficult to collect the debt."

It is an old tradition to buy fertilizer on credit when growing crops, and then pay it back after the summer harvest. No matter how awesome Yong Ge's father is, he dare not break this tradition.

"what happened?"

"Those who grow cotton clearly have money but they don't pay it back, and they even build houses at home." Brother Yong sighed.

"That's right. We still haven't gotten back the over 4,000 yuan debt we owed to Sandacha this year." The eldest sister said angrily.

Selling fertilizers does make money, but the payment period is very long, and if we continue like this, we won’t be able to operate the business.

"Isn't it pretty good?" Qin Dahe was a little surprised.

"We don't know either. Life has gotten better in recent years, but it's getting harder to collect debts every year." The economy has improved, but people's hearts have changed.

"Then we won't have to settle accounts. Grandpa should be making money collecting fish."

The couple smiled when they heard this.

"It's really thanks to you that Dad can now earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month from collecting fish, and that's after dividing the money with his two employees." My brother-in-law said with a smile.

Actually, it’s okay for these two guys not to go. Grandpa can just do the hard work alone.

But these two old brothers are the core members of his father's debt collection team, and they have to be kept alive even when they are not working, just in time to help out with some chores.

"Haha, as long as I make money."

"Dad also said he wanted to buy you something. It seems we have everything we need at home right now." The eldest sister thought for a moment and said, "How about buying you a computer? I see you go to the Internet cafe every day when you come to town."

"I also want to play computer games at home." Qin Dahe sighed, "There's no internet access in the village. If I go back and connect a phone line, I'll probably go bankrupt."

If he had internet access, he would have taken the computer that his uncle gave him when he got married last year.

"There's really no other way." Brother Yong frowned, he really didn't know what to buy.

Now my father-in-law's family is really rich, and my brother-in-law drives this gas-guzzling car back and forth every day.

"No need to buy it for me, I don't need anything."

I introduced the business to Grandpa not for this reason, but just wanted to keep the money within the family.

Just like collecting crayfish, my second uncle was also asked to do the work.

Although it is over now, my second uncle made nearly 30,000 yuan in just one summer.

"By the way, sister, please ask grandpa to take this to Scar Grandpa for me." As he said that, he pulled down a hundred kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp bait from the trunk.

There are also 40 kilograms of sweet potato corn, 40 kilograms of fruit acid corn, 80 bags of commercial bait, and 20 bottles of fruit-flavored snail meat.

Although silver carp and bighead carp baits sell slower in Jinling due to weather conditions, carp, black carp and crucian carp can still be caught.

Fruit-flavored snails are especially popular. When Mr. Xu, the owner of a fishing tackle shop in Jinling, learned about the giant bluefish in Jinniu Lake, he couldn't wait to go there himself, bringing his secret recipe for fruit-flavored snail meat and successfully reeling in a bluefish weighing over 80 kilograms.

He runs a fishing tackle shop and likes to show off, which actually helped him sell his fruit-flavored snail meat.

Qin Dahe's product is priced at eight yuan per bottle. It is filled with snail meat and is quite useful. There is a lot of demand for it now.

There is also commercial bait, which only sells well in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

It is said that the special baits from upstream Hubei and Sichuan provinces are more useful, so I didn’t go there to make a fool of myself.

These two provinces are major fishing provinces and have no shortage of talented people.

I just don’t know how the preparations for Liu Da’s fishing tackle store are going. It’s been several days.

After leaving his eldest sister's house, he immediately made a phone call and learned that the person was still fishing with his fishing friends in Hubei.

"Aren't you going home for National Day?"

"Wow, you don't know, the resources here are really good." Da Liu said excitedly, "My friend and I were fishing on the island, and yesterday we caught 170 kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp."

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I came out before dawn today."

After hearing what Liu Da said, Qin Dahe immediately became unhappy. He didn't have such good resources now. Damn it.

Currently, the best silver carp and bighead carp resources in the surrounding area are in Xiaohekou. Gangzi and his friends can sometimes catch fifty or sixty kilograms a day.

"You don't run a fishing tackle shop anymore?" he said sourly. If he had the resources, he would go fishing too.

"I'll go fishing for a few days first. I've finally bought the storefront in Shanghai, and my dad is asking someone to help me decorate it." Big Liu chuckled.

When the old man learned that his son wanted to start a business, he was quite scared at first, but when he didn't expect it was a fishing tackle store, he immediately gave his full support.

Just don't mess around. It doesn't make much money to run a fishing tackle store.

"Okay, remember to help me sell the goods after the business is open." Since I have won the second place, it is my duty to help sell the goods.

"Got it, hang up first, I'm going to speak."

Damn, it’s only seven in the morning and the temperature in Hubei shouldn’t be high, but you can still go fishing.

He put down the phone cursing and went to the post office to send bait to the owner of the fishing tackle shop.

The destination of this mail delivery was Hubei. He even made a phone call to inform them, and the goods arrived in two days.

"I'm fishing too." The owner of the fishing tackle shop said truthfully.

"Are you fishing with Liu?"

"Well, take him to my private land to play." The fishing tackle shop owner smiled.

I hung up in frustration. I couldn't live like this anymore.

Alas, his wife needs to give birth to a baby soon. Others are busy fishing, but he can’t do anything except take care of his wife.

There were quite a lot of remittances in the post office today, two payments for royalties, one salary, and two payments for silver carp and bighead carp bait.

It's over ten thousand, and the aunt at the post office is familiar with him.

This is a big customer, and he spends several thousand yuan on express delivery fees every month.

"Auntie, can't you lower the price?"

"It's stipulated by the state, what can we do about it?"

"If that doesn't work, why don't you go to the city to get a courier? There are some black courier companies there that can deliver."

"Really?" Qin Dahe was a little surprised.

"Yes, it was reported in the news a while ago. Someone's den was busted."

"."

What's the point of talking about that? Their hideout has been taken down.

After thinking about it, he called Li Weiwei to ask about the situation.

It turned out to be true. SF Express seemed to have failed the formalities and was banned by the post office.

"It just so happens that the co-owner of that courier is my friend. He's currently completing the paperwork and will open the business next month."

"Call me when the store opens and I'll send you a flower basket." He has been suffering from the postal service for a long time. The express delivery fee is too expensive.

"Okay." He was sure he could handle this little thing, although he didn't know what Qin Dahe was going to do.

"By the way, you only have 25 of your Moutai shares left. Are you going to sell them?"

"I'm not selling it. I'll just keep it there." Qin Dahe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you still paying attention to that? I don't even want to figure it out."

"You're so carefree, it's more than 300,000 yuan." He was a little confused. How could someone not care about buying a stock at all?

"It's okay. You can just buy a few hundred thousand and leave it there. It will definitely appreciate in value in twenty years." He said indifferently.

No one would believe this. "It's alright, I'm hanging up now. Remember to ask me to give you a bath next time you go to Jinling."
