Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 359: Building an Island (Part )

Not only salted fish, but also smoked fish, cured fish, drunken fish and other semi-finished products will be produced in large quantities during this season.

Because it’s cold, it’s not easy to spoil, and the consumer market is big at the end of the year.

So everyone cleans the ponds and collects the fish at the end of the year.

The third master received the money and returned Qin Dahe's five thousand yuan on the spot.

When they knew he was short of money, the fourth room didn't even ask for an IOU, but directly gave him 5,000 yuan, which was very thoughtful of them.

"Forget about the three hundred yuan interest." Qin Dahe waved his hand, counted out three bills and stuffed them back.

Saying it was usury was just an excuse because they were afraid that others would come to borrow money. How could they really ask for interest from the Third Master?

"Third Master, our friendship lies here, so let's keep in touch from now on."

"Haha, you're such a magnanimous kid." The Third Master pointed at the lake and said, "I won't do anything else. The rest is all yours. Take as much as you can."

He also knew that Qin Dahe had invested heavily, and the excavator was used to clear silt every day, and the daily fuel costs were over a thousand yuan. This was only because the excavator belonged to his brother, so he could save so much.

"Okay, thanks, Uncle San." Logically, there are still more than thirty days before the fish pond expires.

You can also sell some small fish you catch from the corners of your home for some money.

"I don't have time to waste." The Third Master had a sad look on his face and took the cigarette handed to him by Qin Dahe.

Light it up, take a deep breath, and slowly exhale the smoke.

"I'm going to Chaohu in two days. I'll buy your brother a house first, and then give him 20,000 yuan to do whatever he wants. I'll stay at home and take care of him in his old age."

I owe more than 20,000 yuan, and after paying it back, I still have more than 100,000 yuan left. I can buy a much better commercial house in Chaohu and have a lot left.

It is enough for the two of us to farm some land and raise a crucian carp pond at home.

His home is at the end of the village, and he has a private pond of more than one acre.

This small pond was dug out by his father and him, shovel by shovel. He doesn't even have to pay rent for the pond, it belongs to his family.

"It's better to go to Jiuzi than to buy a house in Chaohu. There's no future in Chaohu." Qin Dahe shook his head.

"Jiuzi?"

"Yeah, that place is developing fast, it's close to the Yangtze River."

Anhui Q has developed into what it is now. It is more reliable to buy a house in the county than there.

"Forget it, if your brother wants to stay there, let him stay there. I'll go pack up." After saying that, the Third Master went to work. He also had to pay the rent to the residents. He rented a house here to catch fish.

Qin Dahe took out the wooden stakes and planks from the car and began to reinforce the large ridge here by himself.

For convenience, San Ye and his team simply filled the ridge with mud in nylon bags. Once it was damaged, it would easily collapse and had to be reinforced.

Wooden boards were inserted on both sides, and then piles were driven in. It turned out that the old man surnamed Xu came up to help.

At first, his network was often stolen by Xiao Xiang, so Qin Dahe stepped in to get to know him.

"Grandpa, what's the situation at Xiao Xiang's family now?" He handed over a cigarette, and the two of them sat on the side to rest for a while before continuing to work.

"His family is quite courageous. They spent all their money for a woman." Grandpa said admiringly.

It turned out that Xiao Xiang's family had rented out all their land just to raise some money in a short period of time for my mother's surgery.

"Now that I'm back home, it's hard because I don't have a livelihood."

Qin Dahe frowned and took a deep puff of his cigarette.

"Are the father and son going to the dock to carry bags now?" There is not much work at the dock on the Yuncao side, so they work one day and rest the next.

"How could that be? Xiao Xiang fell down while carrying a bag some time ago and is resting at home now." Grandpa sighed. Fate always picks on the unfortunate.

"He wanted to go to Yuxi River to cast his nets, but I can't do that long a distance, so I just let him go to my small section to help him out."

He has three sons who are doing well, so it's okay to let some of the river out. "That's great, Grandpa is being righteous." Qin Dahe gave a thumbs up.

The Xiao Xiang family deserves it. They usually have bad relationships with others. Otherwise, in such an emergency, it would not be difficult for them to get tens of thousands of yuan in the village. Why would they rent out the land?

The two men finished smoking a cigarette and continued to work. Grandpa was righteous and not stingy. After finishing his work, he threw a pack of black pine to him, which made Grandpa happy.

He also knew that Qin Dahe was rich, so he took the cigarette when it was handed to him.

"It's okay here in Xu Village. I'll keep an eye on it for you. It's right at the doorstep anyway."

"Thank you very much, Grandpa." He said with a smile.

It doesn't matter. After the bottom changed, the big fish all ran south, so it's okay to steal two small ones.

When he came back from Xu Village, Erhu was still working, so he stepped forward to take over.

It's 4:30 in the afternoon and it's still quite cold. I rubbed my face hard to feel better.

There were more and more trucks transporting silt, and even people were driving tractors to the end of the village.

It only costs ten dollars a car and they will help you load it. It’s much better than digging it yourself.

His second uncle and eldest uncle both came, and they all worked together to load the goods using tractors instead of using their three-wheeled motorcycles to deliver the goods.

Qin Dahe was busy shoveling the silt, but he couldn't keep up. He simply couldn't keep up.

No wonder Erhu looked like that when he came over. He's become numb after doing it for a long time. It's just like digging mud.

We worked until dark and the cars dispersed.

After returning home and having dinner, I grabbed my clothes and was about to go to town to take a shower when I was stopped.

"Dahe, why are you delivering so much cement?" The old mother pointed to the dozens of bags of goods piled up in the yard.

"I plan to fill the deep hole in the middle and create a small island."

"Build an island?" The old couple frowned. "There's such a big lake, why build an island?"

"That's right, I'm so bored and have nothing to do. This much cement costs two thousand yuan."

"There are more stones being delivered. Just listen to me on this matter. We'll build a small house in the middle so that it will be convenient to set up nets around it to feed the fish." He said impatiently.

"How can we get it back after investing so much?" Qin's father was a little puzzled. His son had always been smart, so why did he start to act stupidly?

"The contract for this big lake is only for ten years, and you've already spent 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Add to that the rent for your small island and pond, it's quite a lot." There's also the matter of stocking the seedlings.

"I will definitely make the money back, don't worry." He was a little speechless, as his main business was not based on fish farming.

To build an artificial cement island, the excavator belongs to my brother, and as long as I pay for the fuel, it won’t cost much.

By the way, we can also fill the deep pit in the center of the lake, which is too troublesome.

"Okay, I'm going to town to take a shower. Dad, do you want to come?"

"Go." Taking a bath at home is too inconvenient, it's more comfortable in the bathhouse. "Lan'er, help me get my clothes."

Although it was cold, it was so nice to have my son drive me back and forth.

"You two, father and son, only know how to enjoy yourself." Mother Qin cursed and went to get clothes.

The old man took the opportunity to go into the room and play with his grandchildren for a while. It was rare that both of them were awake.

Yanyan was changing their diapers, and the little ones urinated a lot.

Originally, Qin Dahe was planning to use diapers, but they were a bit expensive and I couldn’t bear to buy them, so I didn’t buy them.

She just needs to take the trouble to wash it herself, since there is a washing machine to spin the water.

Diapers now cost three yuan each. Two children need more than ten diapers a day, which means one to two thousand yuan a month. No one in rural areas can afford such expenses, as it costs 20,000 yuan a year.
