Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 401: Going out to buy crab seedlings

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Qin Dahe set off amidst his parents' numerous instructions and warnings.

I went to pick up Master Wu first. I was a little puzzled when I saw that he was carrying a travel bag.

"Grandpa, you don't have a transfer box?"

"Ce, how many seedlings do you want to buy?" Wu Ye was at a loss for words. "Forty thousand yuan worth of seedlings only weigh forty or fifty kilograms. Just put them in a nylon bag in your travel bag."

"Won't you die from being squeezed like this? I brought two transfer boxes. Let's put them in separate boxes and cover them with a net."

"Haha, we used to bring it back this way." Wu Ye said with a smile. "Let's use your transfer box."

The transfer box is definitely more convenient than a nylon bag. This time I followed my nephew's car, so I don't have to worry about anyone doing anything to me.

In the past, when buying seedlings, several breeders would charter a car to go to Chongming Island.

If the crabs are left outside, many will die if water is poured into them. They can only be packed in travel bags, and few will die.

Seeing the huge transfer box, Wu Ye's eyes widened, "Boy, these two transfer boxes can hold millions of goods."

At the price of six yuan per crab, there are 120 medium-sized crab seedlings in one pound, and two transport boxes can hold one or two thousand pounds of seedlings.

"This isn't my first time buying Miao Man, so I have no experience."

The two of them were going to go and come back quickly this time. They set off today and tried to come back the day after tomorrow, so they didn't bring any clothes with them, just money.

There is no navigation now, so Qin Dahe has been studying the route these days and also asked Da Liu.

Last time, Liu drove here alone.

After referring to his route, I finally decided to go from Dangtu, at least there are provincial and national highways.

There are still car bandits and highway robbers nowadays. If you take the main road, there are more big cars and you can run away if you encounter trouble.

No matter how powerful bandits are, they dare not stop large trucks or dump trucks. Well, those young men who stopped the dump truck on Tongjiang Avenue two years ago were really powerful and their deaths were well deserved.

Just look at the road signs and ask people along the way, there should be no problem. Just become familiar with this trip and you'll be fine.

We set off early today. It’s only 6:40 now. We should be able to reach Shanghai before dark.

We drove all the way from the town to Tongjiang Avenue. After crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, there were immediately more trucks on National Highway 205.

At twelve o'clock noon, the car arrived in Liyang.

After driving for more than five hours, Qin Dahe finally couldn't take it anymore. It's really painful to take a long-distance bus, especially when driving on provincial roads.

And now there is no navigation, so he relies entirely on Wu Ye next to him to help him read the map. Wu Ye has run back and forth with the car many times and has some experience.

We stopped twice on the way to ask for directions. We were completely clueless in unfamiliar places and could only look at the map to find our way.

Fortunately, the road ahead is all national highways, and I have confirmed with Liu Da that we can arrive directly.

After driving a long distance, he realized how awesome today's truck drivers are.

The road conditions are poor and the road signs are unclear, even on national highways, and driving is tiring.

The money that can be earned by long-distance truck drivers is what they should earn.

After adding water, I went to a nearby restaurant and ordered two bowls of fried rice.

It’s a very simple fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork, with lots of oil and salt, and the taste is good.

It costs five yuan per packet and is sold on the highway specifically to long-distance travelers. No one cares whether the price is high or not.

Today's drivers, whether they drive large cars or small cars, are rich and have amazing spending power.

It’s really enjoyable to eat it in big mouthfuls.

"Boss, two cans of Coke, please."

"Okay, four dollars a can."

After taking the Coke, the boss said with a smile, "Why don't you go to the back and relax for an hour before heading out again? You're tired from driving all the time."

"The price is not expensive, only eighty yuan."

The two were not surprised to hear this. Qin Dahe gulped down a can of Coke and burped. He felt so refreshed!

"Haha, I have things to do, so I can't delay. I'll come back to take care of your business." That's what he said.

When you are out, don't speak harshly and just give each other face.

The boss wouldn't care if you really didn't come, but if you said something like "illegal and criminal", you might be hit by spikes at the next intersection.

After eating and drinking, the father and son got into the car, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

The sun in March was already a bit hot, so he usually kept the windows open unless the road was very dusty.

"Dahe, can you arrive tonight?"

"Almost. It will be soon."

I stepped on the accelerator and, with the roar of the engine, I soon disappeared onto the national highway. The second half of the journey confirmed his words. Once I reached Wuxi Road, the journey became much easier.

It’s a pity that I didn’t pass by Taihu Lake, otherwise I would really like to take a good look at this fishing paradise.

Competitions are often held in Taihu Lake. Qin Dahe had thought about participating in one in his previous life, but unfortunately he was too busy with work, so he could only play in the local black pit to satisfy his desire.

As anglers, we all have one thing in common: we are “unwilling to accept defeat.”

Most of the fish others catch are because they are lucky and have a good position. If I have the same resources, I will definitely be able to catch some fish too.

Even if some fishing masters or fishing kings go to a place to fish, everyone will definitely gather there.

If nothing else, if I can catch more fish than the other person, I will feel happy for a long time.

When I have time, it would be nice to come to Taihu Lake to participate in the competition.

After passing Wuxi, we also passed through the suburbs of Suzhou, and then we arrived at the famous Yangcheng Lake.

Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are sold every year. Although most of them are bathed crabs, it also shows that the crab breeding system is very complete.

Time is tight this time, otherwise we would definitely have to stop for a while.

By the time we arrived in Baoshan District, Shanghai, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Baoshan was already very prosperous in 02, with high-rise buildings everywhere and the E-Mart shopping mall being extremely bustling.

Compared with the heaviness of Nanjing, the Shanghai market was developing rapidly at this time.

"Fifth Master, let's go buy crab seedlings tomorrow and find a place to stay today." After getting off the car, he pounded his waist as usual. It's really difficult to drive on the national highway nowadays.

"Well, there's no rush. It's best to go shopping around 8 or 9 in the morning. The crab seedlings that are still alive at this time are good ones." After a pause, he continued, "We have so much money with us, why don't we sleep in the car?"

It's always good to be careful when you go out.

"It's okay, I'll go find a parking lot. There's a safe in the car." Sleeping in the car for a night is simply unbearable.

He drove around and passed by a traffic police station and took a closer look. The parking space was too far away and there was no one on duty.

Going further, the police station entrance is a good place. The procuratorate is opposite. There are people standing guard on both sides. Even if there is no parking space, he feels at ease knowing that someone is watching him.

The car stopped directly on the side of the road, the seat was adjusted to the back, and he took out the safe underneath.

"Fifth Master, put the money in there. The car won't be lost if it's left here."

"You are really smart." Seeing the buildings on both sides, Wu Ye nodded.

Poor at home, rich on the road. He doesn't spend much money to stay in a hotel for one night, but he made a lot last year.

Wu Ye started taking money out from all over his body. One of his pockets was even sewn shut and the stitches had to be removed.

"If I had known you had a safe, I wouldn't have let your aunt do this." He complained and started to put the money in a bag and put it in the stainless steel safe.

"Haha, it's always better to be cautious."

The car itself is a lock, and the safe is chained to the seat. Even if someone tries to pry the car open, it will not be possible to fix it in a short time.

The people standing guard on both sides are not blind. The thief would only come to this road to commit a crime if he is crazy.

Moreover, there are no regulations on illegal parking now. Even in Shanghai, the traffic volume on the streets is not heavy, and no one comes to issue tickets.

After getting off the car, I found a food stall to eat. I was almost starving.

We have been driving since around six in the morning until now, and we have to look at road signs and ask for directions on the way, which has wasted too much time.

It would be great if there were highways like Shanghai-Wuhan and Shanghai-Chongqing. It would only take a few hours to drive there, which would be very convenient.

While eating, he took a special look at the menu and found that it was not as expensive as he had imagined.

A braised chicken for about fifty yuan and a braised duck leg for fifteen yuan, two meat dishes are enough.

I even specifically asked the waiter to put less sugar or no sugar, but in the end, I got a cold eye from the waiter.

When the dish was served, the braised chicken was okay, with a little bit of sweetness, which was just acceptable.

The braised duck legs are just sweet and a bit greasy.

"Didn't you say no sugar?"

"No, but this dish is cooked with seafood sauce, so it has a sweet taste." After saying that, the waiter turned and left.

Qin Dahe: “.”

Forget it, it’s better to have less trouble than more when you are away from home. He started to eat in a sullen manner.

There is something wrong with this restaurant. The roasted duck leg is so sweet, how can you eat it?

I ate two bowls of rice without any appetite, then went straight to find a hotel to rest and have a good sleep. I will go buy crab seedlings tomorrow.
