Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 407 Ready to go
At 9:30 in the morning, eight people gathered at Lao Xu's fishing tackle shop.

Qin Dahe drove with his child from six o'clock to nine twenty, and that was because there were few cars on the road.

When we entered the fishing tackle store, Liu Da and his friends were already there.

He drove there yesterday, taking the highway from Yangzhou. Although it was a detour, it was easy.

This time, Lao Xu brought a friend, Qin Dahe and two others, Da Liu also brought two others, and two netizens.

One of them is from Jinling, named Hu San, he is in his thirties and you can tell from his skin that he is a natural fisherman.

There was also a young man from Wuxi, his surname was Yu, who also came by car.

"Lao Xu, life jackets have been distributed first. Everyone should put them on once you get on the boat." He said seriously.

He initiated the event, so he had to ensure everyone's safety. Fortunately, there were only eight people today, otherwise it would be difficult to manage if there were more.

"Okay." Lao Xu nodded and went to the warehouse to get life jackets, which had been prepared in advance.

Qin Dahe turned and walked to the cashier, took two black pine trees and a gift box and placed them on the counter.

"Sister-in-law, Lao Xu has been working hard these past few days, please don't complain." Inside the box was a lipstick, which I bought while passing by Xinjiekou for over 300 yuan. "It's just an average lipstick, please forgive me."

He gave it while Lao Xu was away, otherwise there would have been a lot of pushing and pulling. In today's society where relationships are important, giving gifts requires a lot of pushing and pulling.

It must have taken a lot of effort to have someone make the nest, explain the situation to the fishing team, and contact the local boat for pick-up. Thank you very much for your kindness.

"Thank you, Boss Qin." The proprietress pursed her lips and nodded. She recognized that this lipstick was a famous brand and it was made with great care.

"I'll tell Lao Xu about it tonight. Put it away for now."

She had no choice but to do as she was told. Besides, the lipstick looked good.

Da Liu and the others smiled and nodded, and they were very particular about what they did.

After a while, Lao Xu came out with a pile of life jackets, and each person took one and held it in his hand.

Then everyone started to check their equipment. If they really needed anything, they would buy it here. It would be funny if they found out they didn’t bring the fishing line when they got there.

Because the target was a 200-jin giant bluefin bream, everyone brought a wheel, and even Lao Xu asked Da Liu to bring him a sea rod.

Among them, Xiaoyu's equipment is the most comprehensive, even including fishing platforms.

"None of your scoop nets are good enough. My dad once caught a giant 133-pound bluefin bream. He needs a big scoop net like mine." He took out his own scoop net from the back of the car.

The exaggerated 80-centimeter diameter scoop net is two meters deep and made of thick nylon net.

"There's no place to buy one right now?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Such a large scoop net could only be used for sea fishing.

"I brought two. We have two islands, so we can just put one on each island." He said with a smile and gave the one in his hand to Lao Xu.

Later, he will bring his friend and Liu Da with him, and the four of them will be on one island.

The Qin Dahe brothers and two netizens form a team, and a landing net is enough.

If you really want to take the bait, don't think about getting out for three or four hours. It's still in time to send it off temporarily.

"Get in the car and let's go."

"Set off."

A group of anglers walked out of the fishing tackle shop in high spirits, thinking that today's catch would definitely be good.

The silly kid recorded this scene with a camera. His elder brother specifically told him to take more photos when he had time.

An hour later, the four cars entered a rural area right next to Jinniu Lake.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the lake is boundless, and the water is as blue agate and shaped like deer antlers.

A huge mountain can be seen at the edge.

"That's Jinniu Mountain. The scenery there is so beautiful." Lao Xu gave a brief introduction. If you want to come here to fish, you must have done some research.

"The other side upstream is Anhui Province, but only a little bit."

"Now that Jinniu Lake has been built into a scenic area, with tourism and aquaculture both underway, we have to report to the local fishery team if we want to go fishing."

I still had to find some connections, otherwise I wouldn’t be allowed to fish at all.

Except for the locals, just like in the Yuxi River, everyone sets their nets secretly and the river management office has no way to control them.

"That's Cow Shit Mountain over there. I don't know which idiot came up with that name."

Everyone laughed as they listened to Lao Xu and Hu San's introductions, and then they arrived at a house by the lake.

A middle-aged couple came out. "Sister-in-law, is the meal ready?"

It's already half past ten. Let's have a meal first, then go to the island to fish until dark and then go back.

If you really catch a big fish, it won’t be that obvious.

"It's ready. You guys eat first. After dinner, his dad will take you there by boat."

"Okay." Lao Xu nodded and turned to look at everyone, "Everyone, just have a bite to eat at noon. I apologize for the poor hospitality."

"That's great. I often bring biscuits with me for lunch when I go fishing. Just having water to drink is enough." Liu said with a smile.

Fishermen are really not particular about their meals. It is normal for them to just make do with a simple lunch so that they can have more time for fishing.

"Let's eat quickly and don't waste time." Qin Dahe said.

Everyone nodded in unison. They were already at the lake, so who could hold back?

The farm meals were simple, braised fish and stir-fried meat with green peppers, which went well with rice. Several people began to eat them voraciously.

This meal must be enough to last until dark.

Everyone has experience, including the silly kids.

But I brought some steamed buns in the car, I will share some out later, and whoever is hungry in the afternoon can start eating.

The battle was over in ten minutes, and the male owner had already prepared the boat.

Everyone didn't waste any time and immediately started taking out their equipment.

If you bring a reel for island fishing, the fishing platform is actually useless, and Qin Dahe didn't bring one.

It includes fishing rods, spare line sets, scoop nets, giant fish guards, etc. The bait is snail meat and field snails marinated with fruit flavoring.

We brought 200 kilograms of raw snails, giving each person kilograms, and kilograms of ordinary snails.

These common snails are specially used to make nests. There are two large nests. We will spread fifty kilograms in each nest later, and then spread another fifty kilograms when we leave.

In order to catch giant herring, you need to prepare a lot of things.

The large cement ship could easily carry the eight of them and their equipment.

As the boat moves forward, you can soon see two adjacent islands, one oval and the other round.

There are lush weeds on it, but an area has been cleared out, which is probably the fishing spot prepared by Lao Xu himself.

"Last year I caught a herring weighing over 80 kilograms on this island," Lao Xu said proudly. "I waited for three days."

"Haha, awesome." Qin Dahe exclaimed. Lao Xu probably rode alone with a single rod.

"Grandpa, turn off the diesel and let's row over." He turned around and pressed his hand to everyone, signaling them not to speak for the time being.

Giant herring likes quietness, so try to reduce the noise as much as possible.

"Okay." The man driving the boat didn't care. He paid fifty dollars for the meal today and fifty dollars for the boat ride, so he earned a hundred dollars in total.

There is a nest between the two islands, one in front of the oval island and the other in the middle of the circular island.

Qin Dahe slowed down the boat and started to bait the fish.

"Enter the water gently and don't move too much." He whispered and looked at Lao Xu. "How deep is it here?"

The nest is about fifteen meters away from the island. If it is farther, he will get stuck.

"It's about seven meters, which is quite deep compared to the surrounding area. It's in the middle of the lake." You can't fish there unless you use a boat.

However, boat fishing is not something that any ordinary boat can do. At least there should be no ups and downs in the middle of the lake, which means that the boat must have a certain draft.

The reason why he didn't bring a spliced boat this time was that Jinniu Lake was too big, with an area of 250 acres, which was times the area of the large lake he contracted. It would be useless if there was any wind or waves.

After setting up the nest, they immediately started sending people to the island. Qin Dahe urged the kid to take more photos.

Whether you use a film camera or a digital camera, the scenery is so beautiful.

It seems that the filming of "Jasmine Flower" was done at Jinniu Lake.

"Send me a copy of the photo later." Liu Da said in annoyance. He checked many times when he went out this time, but still forgot to bring his camera.

Lao Xu and the others brought their own, and they were all taking pictures.

We are all players in the forum. If we catch a big fish, how can we not show off?
