Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 395: Anglers’ Private Land

On the stage, as soon as a song was finished, applause broke out.

"Well, this little coloratura is really good."

The first play was "Peach Blossom Cottage". The troupe leader did not perform on stage himself, but instead provided music from below.

The old men all cheered, probably because their singing skills were recognized by everyone.

Qin Dahe could also tell the good from the bad, but they were all old operas and he didn't think they were very interesting.

Uncle Lei probably didn't like it very much, so he asked him to use the pure gold method to go fishing.

I'm having lunch at Qin's house today. I want to listen to two plays. I might as well go fishing when I have nothing to do.

It's a rare opportunity to take a vacation, so how can he not try out the rod that costs tens of thousands of dollars? He felt a little sad when he gave it away.

Qin Dahe could only play along. After packing up the things from the warehouse, Qin Dahe took people to Dawan to go fishing.

The nesting material is a small amount of commercial bait plus mud and pig feed essence.

The reason for adding mud to the nesting material is to reduce the amount of nesting material and increase the difficulty of eating the nest without destroying the flavor. Whether you can catch fish depends on the resources and the combination of nesting material and bait.

As for equipment and technology, without resources, everything is useless and has no impact on the Air Force.

No matter how good you are at spearing fish and catching them, why bother if you don’t catch any fish?
The bait is commercial bait, with more earthworm powder and shrimp powder added to increase the fishy protein. In spring and autumn, high-protein bait is the best choice.

When I arrived at the place, I tested the water temperature first. If it felt okay, I would start making a nest.

Uncle Lei was very excited and cast his own bait. No matter how high his official rank was, he and the fisherman were equals the moment they sat by the river.

"What are you doing with this nesting material and mud?"

"The bait is the wrong color. Is the one I got from you different?"

Faced with questions, Qin Dahe patiently explained the reasons.

"I'm quite particular about fishing. I use different baits and nesting materials according to the weather and waters. After all, this is how I make money."

"Haha, you are still professional." Uncle Lei nodded. This kid is really good at fishing.

When you see dense bubbles rising from the bottom of the nest, you know that the fish have spawned.

The temperature rose around the Spring Festival. Now the short cold air has no effect on the water temperature, so fishing is not as difficult as in winter.

Fish gather here in the big bay. I put down my fishing rod and got a bite within minutes.

First there was a slight pause, and then a sudden big black drift, indicating that the fish have recovered their vitality after winter.

From late autumn to winter, for crucian carp, the float looks really good and you have to stare at it closely. A slight pause may mean you have caught a fish.

"Swish!" He raised his hand to stab the fish without any pause, and pulled it out with the raw bamboo pole.

When you fish, the sky is opened. How can you not show off your first hook?

"Haha, the first big crucian carp." Qin Dahe estimated that it weighed about two taels, and happily put the fish into the bucket.

I'll catch more today and give them to Tiedan later. They just gave birth over there.

Looking over at Uncle Lei, he was sitting there quietly waiting for the fish to bite, without any hurry at all.

This mentality is very stable. The mentality of fishing is very important, otherwise how can you catch big fish.

He continued to cast his rod, but other than catching a fish that opened the sky, there was nothing interesting to do.

It’s fun to catch big fish. No matter how many small fish you catch, it’s just like that. I came here today to accompany Uncle Lei.

After catching three big crucian carps in a row, Uncle Lei suddenly stabbed the fish with a shake of his hand, and the sound of cutting water was heard.

"It's probably a carp." He said lightly, as if he didn't care at all, but no one knew what he was thinking.

There is no rush to make the fish float to the surface. The pure gold rod body is relatively soft, and it feels very comfortable to fish for carp.

"Awesome." Qin Dahe gave a thumbs up.

Suddenly, another black drift came over here and started to make trouble for Jiang Angji.

Once this thing enters the nest, it becomes difficult to catch crucian carp.

A few minutes later, Uncle Lei started to catch fish. It was a carp weighing more than four pounds, and he caught it steadily with the 0.6 line.

To be honest, Qin Dahe doesn't really like fishing in this weather. Not only are there only small fish, but his hands are also cold.

Even though it's not as extreme as last winter, my hands are still cold.

What is even more frustrating is that in addition to the three big crucian carp mentioned above, now there are also blackbait and catfish.

They were all very small, at most fifteen centimeters, and were inedible.

He threw them all into the bucket and then threw them into the lake.

Uncle Lei was fishing with great interest. For a normal angler, a four-jin carp is enough to keep him happy for several days.

I usually work in the county, so where do I get the resources for fishing?

Qin Dahe had heard that the moat was full of nets, and the hooks would get stuck as soon as they were lowered, making it impossible to fish.

"The resources are really good," Uncle Lei exclaimed after landing another large crucian carp. "I wanted to go fishing with my friends in the county, but we went to the park and still had no fish."

"How about I ask for you? I know a lot of people who fish in the county. It should be possible for them to give up two private plots." There are fewer fishermen now, and everyone is still willing to share their "private plots."

It won’t work when there are too many fishermen. I’ll post a show-off video with location tracking today, and they’ll immediately line up to sit by the river the next day.

"Okay, you ask for me, sometimes it is really necessary." Fishing socializing is still quite useful, much better than socializing at the drinking table.

Qin Dahe nodded and started dialing.

There are only three fishermen I know who usually hang out in the county. When I call them, they always complain that there are too many fishing nets.

It’s okay now because batteries are not yet popular. Once batteries become popular and there are more mobile power supplies, it will be even more difficult to fish.

However, we still managed to get three fishing spots, all of which were good places to fish.

"One is at the north gate near No. 2 Middle School, and the other is a wild pond in Xu Village, not far from No. 2 Middle School." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "The last one is definitely a good spot. Not only are there a lot of fish, but the fishing spots are all well-maintained."

"Where?" Uncle Lei became interested. He hadn't expected there to be so many places in the county that could produce fish. "I don't want a fish pond. It's not interesting."

"It's not a fish pond, it's a water pumping station near the west gate of the county town. The person who looks after the pumping station is also my friend. He usually fishes in it when he has nothing better to do."

"The surrounding area is blocked with barriers, and there are quite a few silver carp and bighead carp inside."

"Haha, this place is great, quiet and no one will disturb us." Uncle Lei was most satisfied with the last fishing spot.

The area around the water pump station is fenced off, which provides good privacy. If there are fish, you can invite people to go play together in the future. It is very convenient for entertainment and conversation.

Sometimes we ask people out fishing just to discuss something, but if we leave the conversation unattended all day, even the best atmosphere for the conversation will be ruined.

At this time, the phone rang again, and my mother asked them to go back for dinner, and the meal would be served at home soon.

"Got it, we'll be back soon."

The two of them packed up their things, and Qin Dahe felt relieved that he could finally go home.

The few fish he caught in this horrible weather are not worthy of his efforts.

Uncle Lei also saw that he didn't want to fish, "I'll come over and play by myself this afternoon. You can just go and accompany the children. Don't worry about me."

"Okay." Qin Dahe was not polite. He was not involved in officialdom, he just wanted someone to protect him. The other party was not a petty person.

When we got to the yard, it was already full of people.

The village chief and secretary are here too, probably because they came for Uncle Lei, so there must be enough space.

There were not many people invited to the family dinner, even the boss Liu was invited to eat, but he had to go back after eating for a while because he had to start work in the afternoon.

The meals were cooked by my second aunt and Qin's mother. The ingredients were good, and it was very prestigious to serve the two river dumplings on the table.

Qin's father, Uncle Lei, the village chief and other older people sat at one table, and Qin Dahe accompanied Erhu and the others. No one drove in the afternoon, so everyone started drinking.

As for the twin protagonists, they showed their faces briefly and then were sent to bed.

I started to feel sleepy while watching a play in the morning. My mother told me that I slept for more than an hour after I was sent to Baoer's house.

The little guy doesn’t recognize the bed yet, he can sleep well as long as his mother is next to him.

Uncle Lei was sitting at the main table. Father Qin knew his identity and didn't try to flatter him, as he had also seen the world.

The village chief and his men lowered their attitude a little, and even asked about Uncle Lei's identity in a roundabout way.

"Brother-in-law, do one."

"Haha, drink."

The table of young people was very lively. Three bottles of Kouzi wine were opened and everyone was chatting enthusiastically.

"I really envy you. You have a son and a daughter right at birth." Brother Yong got a headache when he thought of his own little fat boy. He is already an adult, but he still needs to hold him in his arms every day. It's terrible. His daughter is still more fragrant.

"Just try to have a second or third child. It's not like we don't have the money to raise them."

"How can I? My family is very busy with business and I have no one to take care of me."

"Besides, Binbin is the old man's favorite, and he plans to leave all his property to him."

Brother Yong’s father has a lot of good things in his hands, which he can’t get, so he plans to let his son take a good bite.

"Haha, even though generations apart, they're all the same."

I don’t know how many times my father has said that all the money he earns now is left to his grandchildren.

He turned to look at his brother, "Tiedan, when are we going to the county?"

Tiedan knew that there were big crucian carp in Dayawan, and he was thinking about going fishing tomorrow.

"I'll be back to work after the Lantern Festival. When the time comes, bring your car over and I'll fix it for you."

"Nonsense! Learn the skills for two years first, and don't break my car." He said with a smile, "I caught three big crucian carp today. You can bring them back to Zhaodi later."

"Then I won't be polite." Big crucian carp is a good thing, especially the one produced in Yuxi River.

Erhu has only one daughter in his family, and she is now available. He just needs to eat more pig's feet, as he is in urgent need of them.

The drinking party ended at one o'clock, by which time the opera troupe had already started.

Qin's mother and second aunt simply cleaned up the dishes and went to watch a play. They would wash them in the evening.
