Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 399 Fermented Corn (asking for monthly ticket)

As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, things get busy.

The old man went to Tongjiang Avenue to drive an illegal taxi. I heard that he is making a lot of money now.

Although the Land Cruiser consumes a lot of fuel, road maintenance fees are now calculated separately, and gasoline is cheap, so the seven-seater car can make up for it.

Qin Dahe was going to harvest cotton and grain.

The flower-making factory has started working again, and the family consumes too much corn and bean dregs.

When all three stoves are on, seven to eight hundred kilograms of bait can be cooked every day.

He drove a big ship to collect everything, including cotton and corn.

When passing by a tofu shop, I would also take away the bean dregs. Anyway, the boat would never be empty.

Snowflake powder is more consumed and must be added to both silver carp and bighead carp baits and commercial baits.

He went straight to a workshop in Nanxiang, ordered 10,000 kilograms, and had them produce and deliver it directly to his home.

This time we are going to stock up on goods, tens of thousands of kilograms.

Silver carp and bighead carp have appeared in Hubei. As the weather warms up, although it is not the best season for fishing silver carp and bighead carp, anglers are motivated to fish as long as they catch big fish.

Now that the price of silver carp and bighead carp bait has dropped a lot, the sales volume has suddenly increased.

Time quickly came to mid-March. It was spring and flowers were blooming. Even with a coat on, it felt a bit hot under the sun.

The banks of the levee are covered with green, and driving on it is a refreshing experience.

I sent another 1,600 kilograms of bait to Sichuan and Hubei provinces, took some packaging bags from the packaging factory, and helped my second aunt and others pack them when I got home.

In the yard, my second aunt, aunt and my mother were busy packing and sealing the bags.

The charcoal fire in the small workshop next door never stops, and they even use honeycomb coal.

Although cotton stalks are free, the heat is unstable and they often produce a burnt smell.

Qin Dahe was afraid that it would affect the taste of the bait, so he gave it up and directly used honeycomb coal, which was very cheap anyway.

Some of his colleagues in Hubei are already selling silver carp and bighead carp bait, so he has to hurry up.

On the one hand, we need to increase supply, and on the other hand, we need to increase publicity. We need to update more content on the forum.

However, the temperature is not high enough for fishing big bluefish, it must be at least 25 degrees.

As the bags of bait are packaged, they are stacked into cartons in the same quantity and placed in the warehouse.

Every once in a while someone has to check whether the bean dregs and corn flour on the other side are fried well.

"Dahe, the flower-making factory is going to close down, right?" Qin's mother asked.

"Well, my family's credit limit has been collected and is probably being reconciled. I wonder how much money Grandpa will get this time."

"It must be 10,000 yuan. We harvested a lot of cotton this spring." Qin's mother said happily.

She collected all the money from harvesting cotton and earned several thousand yuan.

After finishing the work here, Qin Dahe went to check the six large jars in the yard, which contained fermented corn.

Two ounces of sweet potato corn, three ounces of sour corn, and one ounce of fruit-flavored corn.

As long as the soaking is completed, clean it out and continue to ferment. You can add preservatives and store it in the warehouse without worrying about it going bad.

Sweet potatoes and corn have the lowest cost. Sweet potatoes in rural areas are surprisingly cheap and are also easy to store in cellars.

I grabbed a little with my hand and squeezed it, and it was almost done.

I licked it again and spat it out. It was just the right sweetness.

You have to wait for the sour corn to ferment completely.

He went into the house and took out two plastic containers to scoop out the sweet potatoes and corn, and sealed the bag for this one as well.

If sweet potatoes and corn are used as bait for fishing, they can be used to catch both grass carp and carp. They are quite useful and can also be used as nesting materials.

Unfortunately, except for silver carp and bighead carp bait, fruit-flavored snail meat and fruit-flavored corn, other baits are not selling well in Sichuan Province and HUB Province.

Especially in Hubei, a major fishing province, there are fishing tackle factories locally, and there are many local secret baits, so it is difficult to introduce universal baits.

However, the sales response in East China is quite good, and there was some positive feedback last year.

Let’s work harder this year and try to sell more.

Everyone was busy when they heard crying in the room, but it stopped immediately. They guessed that the little one had woken up and Yanyan was feeding him.

"I'll go take a look." After washing his hands, he went to take care of the baby.

In the bedroom, the two little guys were eating very sweetly.

"Woke up together?"

"Well, Qingci cried when she woke up, and then everyone woke up." Yanyan said helplessly. "When will you stop breastfeeding?"

Because of the milk issue, she couldn't leave for a moment, and she had to go back to work in two weeks. She almost forgot what the grain station looked like.

"It's time to stop now. I've already bought the milk powder." Qin Dahe smiled and stretched out his hand to Qingsong to hold it.

It's so strong when drinking milk that I just hold it and won't let go.

"Go and put up the fence first. It's not cold today, so let them play outside."

"Row."

The little guy is now four months old, his immunity has improved, and he can go out to play in the yard.

He specially bought some foam mats and asked his father-in-law to make wooden fences, which he placed in the yard.

After going out, he immediately started tinkering with it.

When Qin's mother saw this, she knew her grandson wanted to go out and play, and she immediately lost interest in her work.

"Dahe, you seal it with plastic, I'll prepare the water." He just woke up, so he must change his diaper after drinking milk.

"Oh."

I took over my mother's job and started weighing sweet potatoes and corn.

A bag weighs one and a half pounds, and the wholesale price is four yuan. The cost is about seventy or eighty cents, mainly because sweet potatoes are cheap.

He doesn't care how much the fishing tackle store sells, he just wants to open up the market first.

"Second Aunt, why don't you bring Brother Feng's girlfriend back?"

"Alas, he's used to being out there, so why would he want to go back home?"

"Haha, it's good to work hard outside and earn more money." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

The three of them were busy all the time. After packing 150 bags of sweet potatoes and corn into paper boxes, they were immediately sent to the warehouse.

After the big pot is cleaned, the next round of fermentation will begin.

At this time, my second aunt and the others also stopped working. The bean dregs and corn flour in the workshop were almost ready, so they needed to change the materials and add more coal.

"Oh, the babies are out playing. Fried Noodles and Black Bear are here." Mother Qin came out with her two grandchildren in her arms and put them in the shelter.

"Lan'er, your grandson is so fair." The aunt said enviously.

"Haha, you raise him well, it's worth spending money." Qin's mother was immediately happy when she heard someone praising her grandson.

Except for Sang Biao, the other three little ones all gathered around.

The two little guys in the block are wearing open-crotch pants, which is more comfortable and they don’t have to cover themselves up every day.

They can't crawl yet and can only barely turn over and lift their heads, but they are very happy to be able to go outside.

When I see cats and dogs and want to touch them but can't, I cry in anxiety.

The three little ones didn't dare to stick their claws in, for fear of getting beaten. They just watched curiously as their two little masters tossed and turned.

The temperature is around 20 degrees in the morning, so you can play with your baby for a few minutes before bringing him back home without worrying about him getting sick.

Qin's mother brought a stool and sat beside the child to play with him, while Yanyan took the opportunity to sleep a little longer as she was too tired at night.

"Mom, it's time to wean the baby off breast milk. Can we try it this afternoon?"

"Wean now?" Mother Qin was a little reluctant. When the baby is weaned, he cries the most.

"Yanyan will be back to work in April soon, so she can't stop working."

"Let's wait for two days. There are still more than ten days left." She waved her hands. The two grandchildren burst into tears at the thought of weaning. How could they be willing to do that?

"Then I'll buy some barley tea tomorrow."

Drinking barley tea during breastfeeding can help you produce milk in a few days.

Otherwise, Yanyan wouldn't be able to go to work because her breasts would just be swollen every day.

Looking at the two happy grandchildren, the old mother had a worried look on her face. She really didn't want her grandchildren to be weaned.

"How about letting Yanyan take a leave of absence without pay?"

"Don't." Qin Dahe shook his head quickly. "That class pays over 700 yuan a month. Where can I find that?"

It’s good that my wife has a class to attend. At least she won’t be out of touch with society.

"That's right, Lan'er, Yanyan is doing a good job." Second aunt hurriedly advised.

It’s so nice to have a regular job, with lots of holidays and good benefits.

Mother Qin was just talking. How could she decide for her daughter-in-law? Seven hundred yuan a month was not a small amount.

After the bean dregs in the drum are fried, they are spread out with a waterproof cloth, giving off a fragrant aroma.

My second aunt and the others added some more raw bean dregs, stirred the charcoal fire, and pressed the start button to continue frying.
