Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 433 Musk price reduction?

The boss of the gun pit will definitely not lose money, because when people calculate the tickets, they keep their own profits. Those who lose money are people who don’t know how to calculate the accounts, or are bosses who are too "honest".

Even if you release 10,000 kilograms of fish in one session, you still make no profit.

If you are conscientious, you can put 8,000 kilograms, which will be enough together with the pond bottom.

The unscrupulous ones would like to release four or five thousand kilograms. Of course, this can only make a few quick bucks.

There is basically no barrier to socializing among anglers. Those who often play in black pits will form groups. Black pits that are too unscrupulous will be posted in the group and will go bankrupt quickly.

After waiting for the two pots of bait to rise, he started fishing again.

I first tried a 5% concentration, and the fish bite was indeed much less intense, and even the fishy smell was less.

Qin Dahe frowned. The flavors nowadays are a bit strong. The sellers didn't cut corners.

According to his previous habits, this kind of pit, which is similar to a cannon pit, would hardly die no matter how much essence was added.

Then I started to change the bait to 4.5%. It was already half past ten and the boss came over with two bottles of water.

"What's going on?" He took the cigarette handed to him by Qin Dahe and looked around curiously.

"I caught more than forty fish." Qin Dahe said with a smile, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep breath.

"Ce, so awesome?"

According to the size of the fish here, Qin Dahe caught more than 200 kilograms in two hours.

Qin Dahe took out a knife and started trimming the fishing rod. The one that was more than five meters long was still too long, so he just used one that was three and a half meters long.

"Of course it's awesome, this is my specialty." He cut off a meter of sections and removed two pieces of the pole tip.

This way the fishing rod will be more elastic and will retrieve fish faster, but it won't protect the line as much.

Those 3.6-meter-long "large comprehensive rods" are specially used for black pit fishing, and are exactly the same as the bamboo rod he has in his hand now.

The boss became interested, so he got a bench and sat beside them to watch the two people fishing.

I changed to 4.5% bait, and the effect seemed to be similar to 4%. I started to take bites after a while.

He started to fish at a high frequency, catching fish in an instant and a half. If he didn't catch any fish, he would quickly gather the bait and continue casting.

The 3.6-meter bamboo pole can catch fish faster than Lao Yan's 5-meter bamboo pole, and he started to buy more fish again.

"If I bring some people here and start working at full speed, I can clean out most of your pond in one day," he said proudly.

If ten people come here to fish, each person will catch only 500 kilograms, which means less than 100 fish.

In the absence of electricity or advanced technology for feeding fish, the fish catch rate on the same day can even reach 90%, making pond cleaning not difficult.

"Ce, what are the ingredients of your bait?" the boss asked curiously.

"I won't tell you the specific proportions, but it has all the ingredients of common fish feed on the market." Qin Dahe chuckled, "And then we added some high-protein ingredients and a flavor that silver carp and bighead carp like."

No silver carp or bighead carp can withstand the combined punch.

While he was talking, the three-meter-five bamboo pole was still catching fish at a rapid speed and throwing them into the fish basket.

Seeing that his short rod was convenient, Lao Yan also took a knife and started trimming the rod.

"Talk to my son if you have a chance. I think you know a lot." The boss said sincerely, "You specialize in bait, right?"

"Well, my bait now basically covers several surrounding provinces." Although the share is not large, it does not stop him from bragging.

"Amazing! The young are truly formidable."

"Haha, you idiot." Qin Dahe finally started to be modest. "When does your doctoral student usually come back? I'll come and ask for advice if I have the chance."

"He works at the Agricultural University in Jinling. Recently, he has been studying the migration and breeding of some rare fish. He seldom comes back unless necessary." When talking about his son, the boss's face was full of pride.

A doctoral student, even the county magistrate would look at him with respect.

"I'll call you next time he comes back. I see you're talented in this area. You've even sold bait to several surrounding provinces."

"Haha, I will visit Jinling if I have the chance. I've been there quite often." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

I came to his house specifically to communicate with him, but he is not qualified. The books he read might have been written by others. There is no point in chatting with him.

I can only say that when I encounter some problems that cannot be solved, I seek help.

As big fish were caught one after another, I felt hungry.

"Ce, it's already half past twelve." He looked at his phone and broke out in a sweat.

Damn, I haven’t played Cannon Pit in a long time and I even forgot the time.

"Old Yan, let's go. That's enough for today."

"Okay." Lao Yan felt very sorry, it was so damn cool.

They pulled like crazy, really pulled like crazy. At the fastest, they caught a big fish in thirty seconds, and at the slower rate, they caught one in two or three minutes.

They had come here to fish at seven in the morning, and now, five hours later, they had caught over seven hundred pounds. That was half a day's work. "Dahe, do you think we can catch a thousand pounds in a day?"

Qin Dahe, who was packing up his fishing gear, laughed when he heard this and said, "If I really start fishing, I can pull a thousand kilograms by myself."

There is no one around to grab the fish in the cannon pit, you can fly and fish the whole time. As long as you have the physical strength, it is not difficult to catch a thousand pounds.

"Boss, leave me your phone number." Lao Yan came over. "Next time you clean the fish pond, you don't have to use the net. Call me and I'll fish for you."

He was addicted and wanted so badly to experience it again.

"Haha, this pond is cleaned once at the end of May. If you want to play, come over." The boss said with a smile.

He was also quite interested in this fishing method, as it was efficient, did not harm the fish, and was much more convenient than trawling.

"You can invite a few more friends over to play, and I'll cook lunch for you."

He couldn't do that at noon today. He watched the two people fishing and forgot the time. He has been sitting here until now and has no food to eat. He has to cook after he finishes cleaning the fish.

The density of fish in the pond is too high, and the fish will turn over if squeezed in the fish basket, so the fish have to be processed first.

"Okay." Old Yan nodded excitedly, "Then let's call Gangzi and Lao Wang over and have a good time."

Qin Dahe smiled. Now there are resources in the wild, so he can just try the black pit twice. It is still more fun to fish in the wild.

Just like the crazy pulling he did today, if it was in Yuxi River, his hands would have been broken after half a day.

But the fish weighing six or seven pounds in the breeding pond have no energy at all and are easy to pull out.

After packing up their things, the two said goodbye. Qin Dahe took her home first and asked Yanyan to take out 10,000 yuan in cash.

Father Qin has already helped pay for the medicine last time, and today's musk will be charged separately.

"Why don't you have lunch at my place? We can make do with some leftovers."

It’s already a little after one o’clock, so it’s not too late.

"Row."

Upon hearing this, Qin's mother immediately began to serve them food.

"I'm telling you, when the musk comes back, it must be sealed and stored properly. Pregnant women can't smell it, and people with heart disease can't touch it either."

"Pregnant women who smell it too much are more likely to have a miscarriage. The drug is very potent."

Qin Dahe nodded. He must have known these taboos.

When Yan'er was pregnant, he didn't dare take it out. He wrapped it in layer upon layer of plastic bags, otherwise the medicinal wine would have started to soak in it long ago.

"Eat, don't mind the leftovers if they're not great."

"It's okay, I often eat like this at home." Old Yan said indifferently.

It is quite normal for a fisherman to delay his meal because of the fish biting.

They were both hungry at this time, and they ate with big mouthfuls while chatting about what had just happened in the fish pond.

Qin Dahe is okay. It was quite enjoyable when I was experiencing it, but now I hardly think about it anymore.

The Yuxi River has abundant resources. Since he started fishing in the wild, he no longer thinks about fishing in black pits. This time he also wants to experiment with bait.

Old Yan was much more excited.

"Dahe, how about you build a high-density pond like this and invite people over to play?"

"It's such a great fish, you can charge a few hundred dollars for the entrance fee. I'll definitely sign up."

He thought happily that if Qin Dahe built a pond, there would definitely be people who would support him.

"Strategy." Qin Dahe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was already thinking about it?
"Let me ask you, at three hundred yuan a ticket, plus the bait, I lose a hundred yuan each time, how many times a month can you come?"

"Two or three times." He said guiltily.

The living expenses are only 500 yuan a month, so it’s hard to come here twice, and I still have to buy cigarettes and bait.

"Yes, your conditions are pretty good. You only come here twice a month, and the oxygen machine can be turned on for free the rest of the time." There are only a few fishermen in the town.

"I'm going to collect the fish, then give them back to you and sell them to the fishmongers. The losses will be huge."

"Now is not the time to play in this kind of black pit. If you really want to play, go to my Fifth Master's pond. It's on the edge of town. I'll just say hello to him."

"Is it the same pond as today?"

"It's an ordinary fish pond, but it also feeds the fish, so it's good for fishing. You just need to catch the fish and release them." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

He definitely wouldn't do such a painful thing. If he had the time, he could just go to the reservoir behind the sluice gate and catch some black carp to eat.

"Forget it, I'll go to Xiaohekou tomorrow. There are more fish there than in ordinary fish ponds." Old Yan started to eat in a sullen manner.
