Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 363 The Origin of Wumachu as the Capital
After dinner, Qin Dahe went to the fishing tackle store and picked up some bait.

"Lao Xu, this is a secret medicine for carp. If someone wants to fish for carp in winter, you can give them a little bit. Five drops at a time is enough." After paying for the commercial bait, he took out two boards of oral liquid bottles, which were enough for at least ten fishing trips.

This packaging is very easy to find now. Various health supplements, oral liquids and Melatonin are everywhere, even Limin Supermarket sells it.

"This is a gift. Please help me collect feedback from anglers. It's very useful for me."

"A new product?" Boss Xu's eyes lit up and he took the "oral liquid" and took a look at it.

He is a fisherman himself and pays attention to every new bait.

"It's freezing cold, I can't even do business now. Only a few people are fishing for crucian carp and angling, but few are fishing for carp."

"You arrived just in time. Are you sure it works?"

When fishing for crucian carp, earthworms are mostly used, while when fishing for croaker (yellow croaker), pig liver is used as bait. I can't make any money, so now I just sell commercial baits and fishing gear.

"Haha, a few days ago, three of us caught seventeen carp. You can try it yourself."

Carp are notoriously difficult to catch and are very delicate.

"Okay, I'll go down and try it. The sun is out now." The boss began to pack up his fishing gear excitedly.

"Do you want to go? I'll take you to see my private land."

As a fishing tackle shop owner and fisherman, he must have more than one private plot of land.

"I'm busy this afternoon, so I'll come catch herring with you next year." Thinking of herring fishing, he said, "Last time you caught a big one weighing over 80 kilograms. That was awesome."

The boss got excited when he heard this. "You know what, there are so many black carp in Jinniu Lake. I caught four big ones and a giant one. It was worth it to wait for two days."

"Those fishing teams couldn't catch it, but I caught it." He was proud of this.

Although Jinniu Lake is a scenic spot, there are still fishing teams there because it is at the junction.

However, bottom-diving fish like black carp cannot usually be caught by trawl nets, and the maze cannot be lowered that deep.

"Haha, more than 80 kilograms is nothing. There are 200 kilograms in it. I will show you next year." Qin Dahe said confidently.

"I've caught several black carp weighing 80 or 90 kilograms this year."

"Okay, you have to call me next year. There are people watching over the store anyway." Thinking of the giant thing weighing more than 200 pounds, Boss Xu felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

For freshwater fishing, two hundred kilograms is the ceiling, unless you go fishing for sturgeon or whitebait, which can weigh over a thousand kilograms.

He had seen the sturgeon hooks used by the Northeastern guys. They were so big that they would hook a live chicken and throw it directly into the river.

After chatting with Boss Xu for a while, Qin Dahe said goodbye as he had other things to do.

I went to several gold shops in Gulou, but they only had the last bit left.

It’s already three o’clock, and it will probably be dark by the time we finish selling out today.

There is no way, the gold sand has to go through a smelting process, which is too time-consuming.

With this pile of gold, he went to Xinjiekou and parked his car at the same security booth as last time.

The policeman still remembered him as a mainland patrolman and came over to take a look.

"Master, you have to be careful this time and don't let anyone criticize you." He joked.

"Haha, if you're really criticized, I'll find a traffic police officer for you."

When we arrived at Xinjiekou, the naive kid’s eyes were no longer enough to see all the big brands gathered there.

The two began selling gold from store to store, selling 700 to 800 grams at a time. The workshop behind the big gold shop was well-equipped and could refine gold quickly.

After selling out the gold in five gold shops, only about 3,000 grams were left. After selling them, I got in the car and headed towards Confucius Temple. It was close, so it was just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.

The Confucius Temple is very prosperous now. Even in such a cold weather, it is still crowded with people.

Qin Dahe didn't go in either. He went to the gold shop in Kuanzhai Alley opposite to continue selling gold.

It was broad daylight, and there were two strong men around, so he was not worried about safety at all.

It wouldn't be okay if it happened in the county. Last month, there was a fight in the People's Square in the county and someone even used a gun. It was simply too awesome.

When we came out of Kuanzhai Alley, it was completely dark.

I rubbed my hands and they were very cold.

The Confucius Temple is even more lively at this time. These people are really energetic. They come out to shop and buy Yuhua Stone in such a cold weather.

"Baby, what are you having for dinner?"

"I don't know." The silly boy was confused for a moment. He was not familiar with Jinling either.

"Forget it, let's go have some duck blood vermicelli soup and salted duck, at least to experience the specialties of Jinling."

They didn't eat at Confucius Temple, which was a complete rip-off.

The slaughter in 2000 will be even more severe than that twenty years later because the information gap is even greater.

They went to a remote place and found a pretty good restaurant. On the way, they chopped half a duck, which was just enough for the two of them.

He placed the salted duck on the table and started eating it with the duck blood and vermicelli soup.

Add more pepper, coriander and chopped green onions to the authentic duck blood vermicelli soup, and the tofu soaked in the soup tastes pretty good.

There are also duck gizzards and duck intestines, which are crispy, tender and delicious.

The only problem is that the portion is too small. It's cold now, but Qin Dahe ate two bowls, and Hanwaer felt better after eating four bowls with salted duck.

"Brother, people here speak the same way as us." The child was quite curious to hear the conversations of people around him while eating.

"Haha, one reason is that many people here are from Jinling." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "Your father is from here too."

The great-grandfather of the Qin family was from Jiangning County and was a small leader of the Jiangning Weaving Factory. To avoid the war, he brought his whole family to settle in southern Anhui. At that time, he had a lot of good things.

The fourth room got some, and together with some good things from Qin Dahe's grandmother's family, this ensured that the family did not starve to death during the most difficult times.

"Is that so? I think I heard grandma see it." The child laughed innocently. When he was young, his mind was fuzzy and he forgot many things.

But I am still very happy to find my roots. It turns out that I am also a Jinling native.

There is a reason why Jinling was made the capital of Wumachu in Anhui Province. Although Anhui Province has a large population, its plains were basically emptied during the war, and many people were relocated there.

After dinner, the two of them first called home to report their safety, and Qin Dahe also asked about Erhu's homework.

Then he stepped on the accelerator and returned to Xinjiekou. He made so much money today, so he must bring some things back home.

He bought an electric shaver for Qin's father and Hanwaer. The manual blades were too sharp and they would easily scratch their faces if they were not careful, so he picked one for himself as well.

My mother and Yanyan each bought a down jacket for more than 600 yuan. He was reluctant to buy some famous brands that cost thousands of yuan, as he would definitely be scolded when he got home.

Hanwaer also bought one for Baoer. Now he realized how good his wife is and how willing she is to spend money.
