Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 428: On TV (asking for monthly tickets)
It was already past eleven when I came out of the Chinese medicine room. I quickly went to buy half a braised goose, as my wife had asked me to do.

I went to the winery and bought two jars of sorghum wine. My mother was urging me to go home before I even got home because my father-in-law was having dinner at home today.

The lunch was quite lively, but neither of us drank any alcohol.

The main purpose of the old couple coming to the Qin family was to see their little grandson. After dinner, they started feeding the little guy and were very busy.

The little guy also gave face. The more people there were, the happier he was, and he made his grandparents smile from ear to ear.

I guess I won’t be short of pocket money when I go to school. My four grandparents are so happy.

But the baby had to go to bed after drinking milk, so the grandfather could only watch disappointedly as his daughter carried the baby into the room.

"Grandpa, why don't you move here next year." In the yard, my second aunt and the others came over and started working again, and they didn't stop cooking even for lunch.

"Forget it now. We can still work. Just live a good life." Grandpa waved his hand, feeling very happy.

This son-in-law is indeed the right one, but it’s a bit early to move in now.

"Okay." Qin Dahe looked at his mother-in-law with a smile, "Aunt, when Yanyan goes to work, you can come over and look after the child. My mother sometimes can't take care of it alone."

This is his purpose. After Yanyan goes to work, he has to go out frequently. I have to look after the workshop, take care of the children, and do housework by myself. How can I handle it all?

"I understand. I'll come over during the day." Auntie nodded with a smile on her face. This was her job as she only had one daughter.

Just after we sent the old couple away, my second aunt and my aunt came and hurried to check if the fire in the stove was out.

Their daily wages are quite high, so how could they dare to delay such a money-making job right at their doorstep?

Qin Dahe also has to be busy. All the fruit acid corns have been packed and a new round of fermentation is about to begin.

There is also the preparation of medicinal wine, which is the most troublesome. The medicinal materials have to be ground twice and then soaked to maximize their medicinal effects.

As the flour mill started, a smell of Chinese medicine wafted through the yard.

After feeding the four little ones, I have to start washing dishes and doing housework. It’s really not easy for her now.

She is responsible for the food and clothing of so many people in the family, and the two babies need at least a dozen diapers a day.

She was worried when her daughter-in-law had to go out to work, but she was relieved when she heard that her son asked his mother-in-law to come and help take care of the child. At least she would have time to tend to the vegetable garden, wash clothes and cook some meals.

While we were busy, Gangzi came on his bike and helped everyone buy bait.

As usual, Qin Dahe boasted and reminded them to remember to watch TV in the evening.

"Where are you fishing now?" He handed over the bait. This time he took 80 kilograms at once and shared it among everyone when he got back.

The price Qin Dahe offered was also low, a wholesale price of eight yuan per pound, which was considered the lowest discount.

"They are all in Xiaohekou, and they have already started shipping them out."

The temperature hasn't risen above 30 degrees yet, and being able to catch silver carp and bighead carp means the resources are abundant. He and Hanwa fished in Jinniu Lake, but they only caught a few fish a day.

"Haha, I'll give it a try in a couple of days." He pulled another yellow-brown bait from the shelf. "This is a special bait with peanut bran added. You can try it when fishing for small fish. It should be effective for carp and grass carp."

"Give it to whoever wants it. Remember to tell me about the effect after you use it."

"Okay, I'll give some to Lao Wang later. He's busy with work at the construction site right now, so he can only find time to go fishing."

Fishing for small fish doesn’t waste time. You can just take a rod and a bucket and go out to play.

After Gangzi left, Qin Dahe began to pack the fermented corn separately as he had to send it out again tomorrow.

My dad’s sports car is pretty good too, it makes it convenient to deliver goods to him.

There were about twenty pounds of raw bean dregs left. He mixed some cornmeal and gluten powder and started feeding the crucian carp.

Now the crucian carps in the three crucian carp ponds weigh almost 200 grams, and the growth rate is really fast.

As these high-protein fish foods are thrown into the water, the big crucian carps start to jump out of the water to grab the food before they hit the bottom.

"Dahe, after feeding the fish, go get some raw bean dregs." Qin's mother shouted. There have been a lot of baits for silver carp and bighead carp recently.

"I'll call someone to keep it and bring it back tomorrow. Please fry more soybean flour and bran."

The tofu shop doesn’t have much stock now, and even if we bring it back, it won’t be stir-fried for long.

After feeding the crucian carp, he drove the boat to patrol the pond.

Actually, it’s okay not to patrol now. The fish haven’t grown up yet, so it’s okay if a few die occasionally.

But he just likes this feeling, so he steps on the accelerator to the maximum and patrols his territory at lightning speed.

Pick out dead fish, clean up plastic bags, and observe whether anyone has secretly set out the net.

After the viewing, you can go to the platform and find a bench to sit on, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, lighting a cigarette, it is very comfortable.

I casually called Tiedan. This brother went to the county to be an apprentice after the Lantern Festival, and I don’t know how he is doing.

"Dahe, why did you think of calling me?"

"Haha, let me ask you how your studies are going. I'll come to your place to have my car serviced later." He took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly, feeling comfortable.

The Land Cruiser has been driven for 10,000 kilometers and it is almost time to change the oil. This car and he have suffered a lot, being both an illegal taxi and a truck.

"That's good. My master chef's child works in the armed forces." Tiedan smiled.

My uncle is the leader of the armed forces department, and the master chef will definitely teach me carefully.

"As long as I study well." He was also very happy to hear that his brother was doing well. "Are you okay now?"

"What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to say. I'm not busy this afternoon."

"Help me find a motorcycle, it's about 10,000 yuan, I need it." He knew that there was a motorcycle store across from Tiedan's workplace, and the two stores had a cooperation.

"You want to drive it yourself? I'll show you a better one."

"No, my uncle wants it. Just help me choose one. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. It just needs to look good."

"Okay, leave it to me."

"That's it. If you need anything to bring with you to the county tomorrow, tell Auntie."

After chatting with Tiedan, Qin Dahe called Uncle Qing again and asked for Director Chen’s home address.

I must not forget what I promised Uncle Qing. I'll deliver the motorcycle tomorrow. But I have to buy some gifts and go to Uncle Qing's house. I'll definitely pay him a visit if I pass by.

In the evening, the family finished their meal early and then watched TV.

The video of Qin Dahe fishing was broadcast on Channel 18, and Niu Dachun had already said that.

The whole family was shocked when they actually saw the waves created by the 200-jin giant catfish.

"You guys caught such a big fish?" Qin's father widened his eyes. This fish is heavier than an average adult.

"It's so hard to copy. Looking back, I found that the photographer helped me copy it." It's not easy to catch a big fish.

How many people caught big fish, but couldn't catch them because one person was out.

"Ce, this little guy is really good at fishing." He couldn't help but admire that it was awesome for a fisherman to catch a big fish.

On TV, a tall and strong photographer came out to help catch the fish, and the oppressive feeling of the giant bluefish immediately hit me.

During the photo session, two adult men took photos holding the big fish.

"Ce, this fish is almost as big as your mother." Qin's father said with emotion.

"Get out of here, you idiot!" Mother Qin cursed and kicked over. "How can you talk like that?"

The old man who was kicked to the ground patted his butt awkwardly and sat down again.

They do look alike, their height and waist are even the same.

The young couple covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They had no restraint at all. They deserved to be beaten.

The two little guys were babbling and I didn’t know what they were doing, but they thought it was fun to watch TV.

"Let's go, Yan'er, take the babies back. They are too young and will get astigmatism if they watch TV for too long."

"Oh."

Seeing the brother catching the big fish, the little girl felt very proud, thinking that her man was really capable.

I picked up the kid and shook him twice, then was about to walk towards the new house, but the little guy refused and wanted to watch.

"Be good, let's go play with Chow Mein."

When I heard the word "cooked noodles", I immediately calmed down.

The little ones love the cats and dogs at home the most, including the ferocious Sangbiao. They let them pet them however they want without any resistance.

This cat is very evil. He respects the old and loves the young. He won't bully a young woman like Yanyan. Only he and Qin's father in the family can't get too close.

When I'm in a good mood, I let him touch it a few times, but usually he runs away from me.

When they arrived in the yard, the four little ones came over with eager eyes.

"No more playing tonight, just let them watch, otherwise they'll have to wash it again."

"Well, I'm afraid that after I go to work, my mother will let the baby play with the dog without washing her hands." Yanyan said in a low voice.

No matter how clean the dog is washed, it still needs to be cleaned after touching it, as it may have parasites.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, and your mother will come over to take care of the baby then."

Seeing my mother coming, he left his son behind and went to the supermarket to brag. He had already told me yesterday that he would be on TV, and now was the perfect time to show off.

I didn’t rush to the supermarket after I went out. I went to Erhu’s house first. My little niece is pretty.

When we arrived, Erhu was washing the excavator at the door, and the glass was polished to a shine.

"Erhu, did you see the big fish I caught?"

"I just saw it, it's awesome." Erhu felt regretful that he missed the chance to be on TV.

He and Tiedan now have their own lives, and it is not convenient for them to follow Qin Dahe around.

"Haha, where's Qinghe? Let me take a look." He threw a cigarette over, but didn't light it because he had to see the baby later.

Erhu walked down and lit a cigarette.

"She's playing in the house and is sleeping very late now." He said happily. "Amei is pregnant again."

"Ce, you're really quick. Did the Party Secretary and the others say anything?"

"It's a girl, what a joke." Erhu curled his lips and took Qin Dahe into the house.

"Wow!" The little guy widened his eyes when he saw him, probably still had some impression of him.

He often picks it up and plays with it when he passes by.

"She's really fat." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "Amei, Tiedan is not at home, why don't you go see Zhaodi?"

"I know." Amei nodded.

Zhaodi didn't dare to speak loudly because there was no one at her parents' home and her husband was not at home.

Yanyan will go and see them when she is free. The little ones are all from the "Qing" generation and their ages are not much different. They can still play together in the future.

The word "qing" was chosen correctly, and we really caught a big blue carp this year.

After holding Qinghe and teasing her for a while, he turned to look at Erhu and said, "Build the road right away. How much will the village pay you?"

"60 an hour, some hard-earned money."

"Ce, so good."

"I can't help it. It's because I can't take on big jobs. But I've made a lot of money this year. I made over 3,000 yuan just by helping people clean ponds this month."

Apart from anything else, he now has sufficient experience in cleaning fish ponds and has been helping Qin Dahe for nearly a month.

It was just dirty. Every time I cleaned the car I had to rinse it with water, and the tracks were covered in mud.

"Haha, come on, let's go to the supermarket and brag." He said arrogantly.
