Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 372: Selling Goods at the Market (Part )

"Haha, a big batch is coming." He shouted happily, but instead of picking up the fish, he lit a cigarette for himself.

You've waited so long to come here, you must take a good walk.

The pure gold fishing rod is relatively soft and feels very good.

The others around him raised their middle fingers in contempt, saying that this guy, Diao Mao Shang Yu, just liked to light a cigarette.

Qin Dahe started to reel the fish in with one hand. The fish struggled very little. Fish are less active in winter, so it is normal to catch three or four kilograms with a 0.6 line group.

Soon, the fish surfaced.

"Wow, a kilogram-class crucian carp." He looked at the fish in the water with a little surprise.

It is very rare for a native crucian carp to reach a weight of two kilograms. It takes at least several years of hard work.

I didn't expect the people in Ligezhuang are so fat.

"Damn, he's so lucky." Tiedan said sourly.

More than an hour has passed, and except for the two big crucian carp at the beginning, there is nothing else now, and no small fish can be seen.

Qin Dahe directly lifted the fish onto the ice, dragged it back, and happily put it into the bucket.

Take this fish home and raise it for a few days. It will definitely taste good when braised.

The fish I catch myself, even if it is a minnow, tastes better than others.

A big crucian carp had just been caught in the kid's fishing hole. He felt that there was a fish in his fishing hole, so he didn't move.

I don’t envy others when I see them catching big fish. The net I collect in one night is enough for them to fish for several days.

After a while, there were a few more crucian carp seeds, which were useless and could only be given to my brother to keep.

Sniffing his nose, Qin Dahe felt a little overwhelmed and shivered with cold after fishing for two hours.

The same went for Tiedan. The two brothers looked at each other and lit cigarettes silently.

Erhu and Hanwaer simply had good physical fitness. They rubbed their hands and looked normal.

After finally making it to four o'clock, Qin Dahe caught another big carp weighing four kilograms, which was also dragged back from the ice.

It's winter now, but as long as the weather gets warmer, he will have to cut the 0.6 line.

Catching carp in winter really depends on luck. When the weather gets cold, the carp's activity range decreases and its appetite decreases. The water depth and the choice of fishing spot are not important. Everything depends on luck.

He was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse.

"Call it a day, just a few more catches." He was already satisfied with two big catches.

Tiedan also stood up immediately. Who could stay here in such bad weather?

"Fuck, play for a while longer." Erhu didn't want to go home so early. "Let me play with your fishing rod for half an hour."

"Okay, I'll stay in the car." There's heating in the car, which is better than being outside.

After just one afternoon, his face turned blue with cold. From now on, no one would ask him to go fishing in winter, and he would not go out.

Even with gloves, it is difficult to hold a cigarette with both hands.

He threw the fishing rod directly to Erhu, quickly packed up his things and ran away.

As soon as we got in the car, we started the engine and Tiedan followed us in. The wind outside was so strong that it stung our bodies.

"I won't fish next time." Tiedan sniffed his nose, pulled out paper from his car and started wiping it.

"Well, I don't fish either. I'd suffer if I caught a cold."

Erhu and Hanwaer played for another half an hour before coming up. They didn't catch many fish today, so everyone just joined in the fun.

I got into the car and breathed a sigh of relief. It was evening now, and even the toughest man couldn't stand the cold wind and the sub-zero temperature.

"You're still young for fishing, but you're frozen like a grandson." Erhu said angrily, rubbing his face vigorously.

"Haha, it's okay to play with it occasionally." Qin Dahe shook his head. If he really wanted to catch fish, he might as well cast a net.

At least the freezing time is shorter. Fishing is really cold. I almost lost my life sitting there for three or four hours.

Start the car and go straight home.

Apart from the miscellaneous fish, there were only about ten big fish.

Not to mention wages, there is nothing left after earning money for gas and bait.

Qin Dahe was immediately happy when he returned home. A four-jin carp and a kilogram of crucian carp were enough to satisfy his hunger.

He showed it off proudly for a while before throwing it into the fish basket.

"Remember to leave early tomorrow. We're assigned to the East Street area, so we need to secure our spot by daybreak."

"I know. You're the first one to arrive, so please help me keep an eye on the position." Erhu nodded.

There will be a big market in Shijian tomorrow, and they are also going to sell coal stoves. They have made more than a hundred of them, so how can they not sell them?

This time, Erhu drove a three-wheeled vehicle, and he and Tiedan sold the goods together.

Turning to look at the silly kid, he said, "Wait, do you want to follow me or ride by yourself?"

"I'll go there by bike with Baoer."

"Okay, then I'll take Grandpa and Auntie with me."

His aircraft carrier battle formation also takes up space. Ten sets take up quite a lot of space. Adding his father-in-law's small ornaments, I estimate that the Land Cruiser will be full.

This time, the family members will not go. The two children cannot leave at all, and Qin's father also has to go to pick cotton.

As soon as the cotton-tying factory resumed work, they were asked to prepare to increase cotton collection efforts.

When the snow just melted, cars couldn't enter the village and the ground was full of mud.

Now Director Li and his men are extremely anxious, and they asked those who have boats to start collecting more first, so this time he went to the market alone.

I'll wait until the next big market to prepare New Year's goods. When Yanyan was roasting dried fruits in the house at night, she felt sorry that she couldn't go out to the market.

"Take good care of the two children, and I'll take you out for a trip next year, okay?" He chewed a piece of walnut and it smelled delicious.

The son looked at his old father smacking his lips, but unfortunately, he didn't even have teeth, so he couldn't eat any walnuts.

"Hey, you're coaxing me again." The girl gave him an unpleasant look and started to tease her son.

The two little guys are now lying side by side on the quilt. This is the most fun time and I can only interact with them by babbling.

"Qingci, do you want to eat a walnut? Daddy will give you a lick." I took a cooled walnut and gave it to my daughter to try, but it did nothing except make her drool.

"Children can't eat it. It will get stuck in their throats."

"I know, I picked the biggest one on purpose so it wouldn't get stuck, hehe." He didn't mind his daughter's saliva and ate it himself.

Yanyan also took two big red dates and stuffed them into her mouth. She couldn't eat too much during her pregnancy and she was so greedy.

The wind was blowing coldly outside, but it was warm as spring inside. The family of four were having fun together.

"My son has pooped, come quickly."

"Wait a minute, I'll finish eating, otherwise don't even think about eating the rest." He put the remaining food into his mouth in a few bites, took a sip of tea and brewed it for a while, then began to change his son's diaper and wipe his butt.

At four o'clock the next morning, Qin Dahe got up quietly and began to put on his clothes.

Wear thermal underwear and long trousers on the outside.

The upper body is a sweater, a down jacket, and a cotton vest.

You have to go to the market early, because the wind can freeze you to death, so you have to wear more clothes.

As soon as I walked out of the room, the cold wind blew into my neck and I shivered immediately.

It’s so cold, damn.

Start the car first so it will be warmer when you get in.

Then I went to the kitchen, poured some water from the thermos, and washed up briefly.

Chaomian and Black Bear were about to go off duty, and when they saw him get up, they called out to him twice, hoping to get some food.

He didn't have time to feed the dog at this time, so he added some firewood to the fire pit and lit it.

The water in the pot is full. I can’t use it myself, but it will save me some effort when I get up later.

The two babies need a lot of boiling water every day to change their diapers and wash their butts. Qin's mother wanted to take the big pot from the tofu shop back home to boil water.

Then he got into the car, started the accelerator and drove out of the yard.

It was dark outside and silent.

He got out of the car again, drove the dog back home, closed the yard door, and then went to his father-in-law's house.

When we arrived at the place, the grandfather had already prepared everything. He opened the trunk and started moving the goods immediately.

The first thing was his aircraft carrier battle formation. My grandfather specially made some exquisite small wooden boxes for him, stuffed with straw, which were just big enough to hold the aircraft carrier battle formation.

Ten boxes were packed into a row, and then came Grandpa's own wooden box, which was filled with various exquisitely carved small ornaments.

The master and apprentice were afraid of competing for business, so they made their own products.

Because the carving skills of the child are not up to par, he only makes things like bracelets and retractable benches, which are sold at a lower price.

The old carpenter is really amazing. With the help of a multifunctional lathe, he can carve all kinds of exquisitely carved small ornaments without any duplicates.

From basic Bagua plates and money swords to Buddha statues, hairpins, pendants, rouge boxes with intricate patterns, and so on.

The materials used are extremely exquisite, even some of the Huanghuali wood left over from last year was used.

His items are also expensive. The cheapest one is the Bagua plate, which costs ten yuan.

The fan and the Buddha statue are both 25 yuan each, which is why my mother-in-law came along.

Big men always suffer losses when selling goods. None of these woods are cheap. If the price is bargained down too much, all the labor costs will be lost.

After moving the things, the two got in the car, and with the roar of the old V8, the car started to move up the embankment.

When he passed by Erhu's house, he saw that the lights inside were on, and he estimated that it would take him half an hour to arrive.

After getting on the embankment, I increased my speed to 50 mph, turned on the high beams and drove towards the stone stream.

There was no light in the night sky, only the trees on the roadside swaying back and forth, and it was obvious that the wind was very strong.

"This car is really nice. Not only are the seats soft, but it also has air conditioning." Auntie felt around and took off her headscarf.

"It costs money, too. If I don't use it for a year, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"You earn a lot, so you don't have to worry about the cost of driving." The more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

I can make money and be filial to my parents at the same time. I can't find anyone like this even with a lantern.

"Haha, Dahe is really good. How much did you earn this year?" Grandpa asked curiously.

"Excluding the gold, it should be over 100,000." He hadn't calculated the exact amount, and a lot of the money from selling bait locally was given to his mother.

He refused to take any of the money he earned from harvesting cotton and selling fish.

"awesome."

"The bait business is just starting this year, and we'll definitely be able to sell more next year," he said confidently.

After having a son and a daughter, Qin Dahe was no longer so indifferent and began to put making money first in his mind.

When the children stop studying, they will have a better choice instead of going out to work hard.

Otherwise, even if he gave his children a house, it would not change their current living conditions. It would be better for them to earn more now.
