Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 394: Lively Theater (asking for monthly tickets)

On the morning of the tenth day, Qin's mother began to busy herself with preparing lunch.

The baby's hundred days have actually passed, but the auspicious days are generally on the sixth, eighth and tenth days of the first lunar month, and most of the affairs are also held at this time.

There were two tables of dishes, three braised dishes: river dumplings, beef, and pig's trotters, as well as steamed bacon, steamed fish head, and an old duck soup.

The vegetarian dish is stir-fried wild taro with bacon, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and two cold dishes.

Ten dishes are not a lot, but they are all solid and the portions are a bit larger.

Because there were two river tuan weighing eight or nine kilograms, I specially bought a large fish plate just for the platter.

These two fish were found by chance, and they would definitely look very impressive if they were placed on the table.

Starting from seven o'clock in the morning, people never stopped at the intersection of his house. Everyone carried benches directly from the village, then turned a corner and went to the back of Hanwaer's house to grab a seat.

Most of the people there are old people and children. People of Qin's father's age would probably go there to gamble even if they go.

Generally, when operas are being performed, gambling dens will spontaneously appear around. It becomes lively when there are many people, and all the men will go there.

The eldest sister and her family also came early. When the little fat boy got home, he went straight to the new house and wanted to hug his younger brothers and sisters.

I saw it once when I went home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. It was so fun, fragrant and soft.

Everyone ate noodles and tea eggs first, and then started their journey.

Anyway, I have reserved a seat, so I don’t have to worry about having no place to sit.

The two little ones were taken out again, and now their favorite activity is to see the world outside.

The two dogs, Black Bear and Fried Noodles, wanted to follow him out, but were driven back.

If it is lost accidentally, there will be no way for so many people to save it.

When we got to the field, there were so many people there, and there were even several stalls set up in front of Hanwaer's house.

For those selling Ding Ding candies, some children around would exchange a dime, rice, or eggs for the candies. After the vendor took the money, he would use a chisel to chisel off the candies and hand them to the children.

This is malt sugar. When Qin Dahe and his friends were young, they also exchanged it for things like bird eggs and toothpaste tubes.

There was also an old man repairing plastic washbasins for people.

Nowadays, plastic products cost several dollars, and people are reluctant to throw them away even if they are broken, so the profession of washbasin repairman came into being.

The fire they used was "acetylene", but not the kind used for electric welding. Instead, it was the gas produced by the combustion of smelly calcium carbide and water.

The method of adding oxygen is also very special. Take the inner liner of a car tire, inflate it and increase the pressure, then connect it to the head of the gun, and burn it together with the gas produced in the gas lamp.

"Do you still have this thing?" Qin's mother asked curiously. She hadn't seen it in years. "Grandpa, how much does it cost to repair this washbasin?"

The old man who repaired the washbasin was at least in his seventies, so it was normal for her to call him Grandpa.

"One dollar for a crack, not expensive," the old man said with a smile. Seeing the twins, his face turned serious. "Hold the children farther away. They smell bad."

"Oh oh." Yanyan quickly held the child and moved away.

She was also curious about this just now. She had seen it a few times when she was a child, but she hadn't encountered it in many years.

Qin's mother and the others sat down in the first row, and some villagers called them "Master" and "Miss", giving them enough face.

Qin Dahe had a smile on his face and was willing to spend money on his children, no matter how much.

He didn't rush to sit down. There were still ten minutes before the show started, so he went to say hello to Mr. Huang first.

There are twelve seats in the first row, and you can add stools, so there is definitely enough space for close friends.

"Grandpa, is business good today?" He handed over a black pine tree.

There was a constant flow of people here, and Qin Dahe noticed that the spicy skin and big knife meat were all sold out.

"Business is so good, let my wife go get the goods quickly, Ce." Mr. Huang took the cigarette and loosened two buttons. He was so busy that his body was hot.

Seeing that others were busy again, Qin Dahe lit a cigarette and came out.

There are quite a few familiar faces here, including Xiaoxue and Ahua, but he is too lazy to go over to them.

"Kid, what are you doing? Take Baoer over and sit down. It will start soon." He shouted at the silly kid's door.

"I'm here." The child came out with a happy face, having just changed into new clothes.

My grandmother also liked watching plays in the past because they were free.

He remembered that the last time he watched a play was when he was ten years old. Ligezhuang invited a troupe of actors, and he and his grandmother set out to watch the play at dawn.

"First row, my mom is over there, remember to lock the door."

"Yeah." Apart from big items like the refrigerator and washing machine, there are nothing valuable in the house.

Qin Dahe walked around and saw that there were so many people.

There were already more than ten rows of people sitting on their own benches, and at least four or five hundred people were sitting on the field, with some children running around.

The village secretary and his colleagues also came, but they didn't have time to watch the show. Instead, they were patrolling with their men.

We have to be careful with so many people around, and we have to send people to guard the levee.

Anyone who is taking a child out today must either be an acquaintance in the village or be able to call out their parents, or just press the button and wait for someone to come pick them up.

He had also reported the opera performance to the villagers, and they definitely agreed to it.

Every time an opera is performed, it can liven up the village. During the Chinese New Year, it is also important to let the villagers have a good time.

"Big river."

"Village chief." Qin Dahe stepped forward and passed out cigarettes.

"Haha, your black pine cigarette is really exciting to smoke." Lighting up the cigarette, the village chief said with a smile, "The flower-making factory will be completed. Trucks will come in and out, and there will be a cement road built in front of your house." "That's great, the cement road has been built." He looked happy.

The gravel road at the door is so bad that it is very bumpy when riding a pedal or tricycle. When the car passes by the door, stones will fly away, which is very dangerous.

"Yes, it goes all the way to the entrance of the flower-making factory."

“Should my family pay more?”

"That's not necessary. The flower-making factory can just pay for this little bit of money. Do you think you should register your bait workshop in town?" The village chief said with a smile.

Every time there is an additional industry in the village, the village cadres will gain more credit, and they will be more assertive when attending meetings.

Unfortunately, neither Zhang Dazhu, Tofu Shop, nor the mushroom growers were willing to register.

"Is there a subsidy?" Qin Dahe became interested.

"Go away, what good things are you thinking about? Subsidies." The village chief was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"That's what I mean. There's no tax. If you sell more in the future, the industrial and commercial officials will definitely check you out."

"Okay, I'll go there when I have time, and the team will just issue me a certificate." Qin Dahe didn't care.

His circle of fishing friends is quite powerful and can definitely be relied upon in the town. If someone really investigates his workshop, they will probably be notified by phone before they even come down.

The fishing friends get along pretty well with each other, so there will definitely be someone to help with this kind of small favor.

When there are more fish in the pond next year, he will try to make various nesting materials, baits, medicines, etc., and supply them free of charge to several anglers in the town.

While helping to experiment with bait, I am also maintaining the local community.

Seeing a Passat stopped, Qin Dahe went to meet it. This was one of his supporters.

"Uncle Lei."

"Haha, Dahe." After Uncle Lei got out of the car, he didn't come over first, but helped the other person who was driving the car from behind to get out.

"Grandma." Qin Dahe naturally knew that this was Uncle Lei's mother, who had bought fish from him last time.

"My mother hasn't come to the countryside to watch a play for a long time. Knowing that you are showing a play here, she asked me to deliver it." He said with a smile.

"It just so happens that I'm the host today, and there's a row of seats available."

He very servilely took people to the first row, where the view was good.

Uncle Lei’s mother was quite surprised to learn that today was the twins’ hundred-day celebration.

"Then let's go over to your house for a meal at noon to share in the good luck."

"Aunt is a distinguished guest. It just so happens that Dahe bought two river dumplings yesterday." Mother Qin said with a smile.

Seeing her son being so attentive, she knew that he was an important guest and would definitely help to entertain him.

"Wow, these two little ones are so cute." Grandma looked at the twins with envy, they were so blessed.

She also knew about her own son's situation. He broke the class barriers by relying on other people's slogans and rose to prominence.

Now I have been transferred back to the county and will be at my post after the Lantern Festival, so I can still take care of my family.

I was originally going to watch a play today and come to express my gratitude, but who knew that the stage was built by someone else, so it's a good opportunity to visit.

I'll give the two little ones a red envelope as a token of my appreciation later.

On the other side, Qin Dahe didn't come to join in the fun because the seats were full, and went to chat with Uncle Lei on the side.

The village chief also wanted to come over to get familiar with the place, but when he saw the car, he knew that he was not of high enough rank, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

The old man had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that the person was a leader within the system as soon as he got off the car.

The kid from the Qin family is really amazing. How could he know so many important people?

"Dahe, I came here today just to ask you something good."

"what?"

"Your bait workshop sells to the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Can you give us the total output value?"

Qin Dahe: “.”

He runs a small workshop and only sold bait worth 140,000 yuan last year. After deducting the cost and a portion for his mother, he didn't make tens of thousands of yuan at all. He thinks too highly of himself.

"I'm going out this year to expand the market. I can sell at most four or five hundred thousand, no more than that," he said angrily.

The number of anglers is so small nowadays that the fishing gear manufacturers across the country combined probably don’t have much money.

Of course, we need to remove the Guangwei that is plotting carbon fiber.

They are really awesome. They sold fishing rods all over the world in 2000, although they were all cheap rods.

"What a pity! I still have a subsidy quota, which can be given for more than one million." Uncle Lei shook his head. The output value is too low, and it will be easy to be criticized if it is brought up.

Sit in the corresponding seat and some cakes will be given to you.

This kind of cake must be eaten, otherwise it would be unsociable, so he thought of giving this subsidy to Qin Dahe.

However, there is a threshold for this kind of subsidy. The output value must be over one million, and it is an emerging industry, so fishing gear can barely be considered one.

"You think too highly of me."

People know their own business. Nowadays, anglers mainly use traditional fishing, which does not make any money at all.

Moreover, the living standards of ordinary people cannot support the fishing gear market. He can only say that he will drink some hot soup first and wait for more and more anglers to join the trap.
