Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 393 Sea Fishing Market (asking for monthly ticket)

When Qin's mother learned that her younger brother was coming over in the evening, she complained about the delay, but she was very happy in her heart and started preparing food before his return.

Now that my mother's family has moved to Hefei, my eldest brother must rest at home and has a new quilt.

If no one from the family comes to her grandson's hundred-day party, she will definitely look unhappy.

It was past four o'clock when Qin Dahe came back with his men.

"Mom, my uncle is here." He handed the fish over. "Kill the river bream and put it in the freezer first. These two fish are worth 500 yuan."

"I see." Mother Qin looked at her younger brother with a smile. "You've come all this way and back again. Didn't you come here at the end of the year?"

I brushed the dust off my eldest brother. It must have been hard for him to travel thousands of miles from Shenzhen to here.

"Just come back if you have nothing to do. I'll go see the little guy."

"Haha, these two little guys are so funny. Dahe, take your uncle to see them."

I walked to the new house and gently pushed the door open. The two little guys were sleeping in the "hands raised in surrender" position.

Yanyan was pressing her phone, probably texting Ruru. When she saw her uncle coming, she immediately greeted him.

"Haha, this is so funny." My uncle laughed softly. The little guy's sleeping posture was so funny.

"Sometimes they get startled when they push the door open, as if I'm pointing a gun at them." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

When he was three or four months old, he was really fun to play with. He would hum his milk and often nibble on his neck with his toothless mouth.

"Let's go upstairs and chat."

Seeing that his uncle had given him two more red envelopes, Qin Dahe couldn't accept them.

"No need for money. Didn't I buy a longevity lock last time?"

The two of them pushed and pulled each other out the door.

"This is the New Year's money for the two little guys. The longevity lock is a meeting gift, so it's different." The uncle waved his hand, put the red envelope in the room, and pulled him directly to the attic.

"I'd like to talk to you about sea fishing. When will you come to Shenzhen?" He knew his nephew well. As soon as the topic of fishing came up, he stopped worrying about the red envelope.

"It will take at least the second half of the year. I will be busy opening up the bait market in the first half of the year, and I may have to go around the Yangtze River." Qin Dahe couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought of sea fishing.

But now, in order to make money and save up funds for my two kids, I have to work hard.

"Tell me first, I'm going to take my family to Shenzhen for a trip in the second half of the year."

"Haha, it's okay to come in the second half of the year."

The two of them went up to the attic, and Qin Dahe carried a pot of boiling water. The scenery here was beautiful and it was the best place for conversation.

Qin's mother still had to clean up Jiang Tuan, and dinner would take some time.

"You have a platform in the middle of this big lake. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"I made it specially and it cost me more than 30,000 yuan." He contracted the big lake and would experiment with freshwater bait in the lake. Anyway, he didn't make money from breeding.

"Later, I'll invite friends over to the lake, have a barbecue, and stew a couple of fish. It'll definitely be a pleasant experience."

"Haha, there is indeed a chance. Next time I go home with Ah Qing and the others, I will bring them to your place to play." The uncle said with a smile.

If the water quality is well managed, it would be nice to run a farm stay.

However, it is limited to one's relatives and friends, and it is impossible to open it to the outside world.

After making two cups of tea, the father and son sat on the balcony and took a sip, which relieved some of the chill brought by the lake breeze.

"After the Lunar New Year this year, seafood prices increased across the board, starting in Guangzhou and all the way to Chaoshan. Fishing boat fees also went up a bit."

"I specifically asked for you. The club Ah Qing went to charges 12,000 yuan for a seven-day fishing boat with ten spots. The yacht is cheaper, with only four spots, and the boat fee is 2,000 yuan per person, but you have to share the fuel costs."

"These are boats with freezers, so the fish they bring back are very valuable. At this year's fish prices, two big fish will pay for themselves."

"There are also people who rent boats to go fishing, but the quality of the boat captains varies greatly, so it's best not to do it." "If you're going to Shenzhen for a long time, try some rock fishing first to get familiar with the fish in the sea, and then go out with a boat."

"How much does a grouper cost in the vegetable market in Shenzhen?" Qin Dahe asked curiously.

I don’t know much about fish in the sea, but I paid attention to the grouper because it often appears in short videos.

"The pure wild ones are all at the docks, and there are none in the vegetable market. According to the specifications, a freshly dead one weighing about three pounds will cost over a thousand yuan." My uncle smiled bitterly.

My wife bought a five-pound fish before the New Year for more than six hundred yuan. It was farmed.

Nowadays, ordinary workers can’t afford to eat fish from the seaside, even farmed ones, so they can only eat frozen ones.

It is cheaper to sell fish caught in the deep sea after being frozen for a long time and then brought back to China.

These seafoods always have a fishy smell and lack the deliciousness of fresh sea fish.

"It's so expensive." Qin Dahe's eyes lit up.

It’s better if it’s expensive. If it’s expensive, he can make more money from fishing.

One trip costs 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Even if I can't make back my investment, at least I can at least minimize my losses.

He knew his own limitations and knew that he had never gone sea fishing in his two lifetimes. How could he possibly kill everyone as soon as he got on the boat? If that were the case, everyone would have gone sea fishing.

"Yes, they are expensive. I just saw the two river groupers you picked up. They are not too expensive among marine fish."

"I'll catch some big fish later and give one to you, uncle."

"Haha, you kid." The uncle said with a smile, "Big fish are not that easy to catch. The investment in bait and equipment is huge."

"That's fine. When I make some money next year, I'll buy a house in Shenzhen and take my family there once a year. Housing prices in Shenzhen aren't expensive these days, are they?"

"It's okay. An old, run-down house with a yard costs about 4,000 yuan per square meter. Commercial housing is more expensive, 5,000 to 6,000 yuan or even tens of thousands is common. It depends on the location."

When he heard the price, he was immediately relieved. As long as the housing prices hadn't taken off, he would earn enough money next year and try to buy a house in Shenzhen.

If nothing else, it would be nice to take the family to the south to escape the winter and go fishing at the same time.

Originally, he was thinking of lying down in the countryside, raising fish, and living a more relaxed life.

But now that I have a son and a daughter, and with the goal of sea fishing hanging in front of me, I have to earn some money.

When people are motivated, their spirit and energy are different.

When he came down, he was in high spirits. He asked his uncle to sit down and even brought out some rice wine.

I finished my Maotai before the New Year and haven’t had time to refill it, but my uncle likes to drink it, so my family doesn’t care.

At the dinner table, the family was eating happily.

My uncle is still looking forward to going to the opera tomorrow. When he was a child, his favorite thing was to go to the theater to listen to opera and watch movies. He hasn't seen it for more than 20 years.

"The troupe owner has made all the arrangements. We, the host family, have our own red stool in the first row, so we can enjoy the show to our heart's content."

"Do you want to bring the baby over? He's a little cold." Mother Qin said with a frown.

There was a sudden cold snap recently, and the temperature dropped to four or five degrees.

"Of course I do. I spent fifteen thousand. At least I can let the two little guys hear it." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "If they really get cold and sleepy, I'll send them to Baoer. We're all family."

"That's right, let's listen to it tomorrow." The old lady waved her hand and looked at Qin's father, "You stay at home for the next few days."

"I understand." Father Qin showed no interest in the program list. It was all some old-fashioned operas that were available on the radio.

After dinner, the mother took the initiative to kill two chickens and waved to her son.

"Dahe, give it to the kiln. Your uncle hasn't tasted it yet." Since her brother was giving her face, she had to treat him well.
