Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 447: Eat big chunks of meat and drink big gulps of wine

After dinner, Qin Dahe went to Zhang Dazhu’s house to get a large piece of soft pork belly, and froze it immediately when he got home.

Freeze it a little harder so that it can be sliced into neat pieces.

Then I took a bag of black pine and went for a walk.

Let’s go to Hanwa’s house first. He has to invite people for dinner in the evening.

I went up the levee, lit a cigarette, and the warm night breeze felt very comfortable on my face.

The lights in Dr. Li's clinic downstairs were still on, probably because someone came to see a doctor.

Although it is a small clinic, it is very convenient to have a doctor here. If you get sick with a fever in the middle of the night, you don’t have to go all the way to the town.

I walked all the way to the supermarket entrance and greeted Mr. Huang and others.

The supermarket was as crowded as usual, and some people were even playing mahjong.

When I got downstairs, I quickly walked to the door of the kid's yard and saw the couple packing up their fishing nets.

"Going online tonight?"

Seeing the eldest brother coming, the two of them immediately came forward to greet him.

"Brother, put out the shrimp cages tonight."

"If there's not enough space, I'll put it at my house. I won't put it there these days."

Now that the father and son can earn money, they put out the shrimp cages only when they remember to do so, and they don’t deliberately calculate the time.

Of course, if it rains, I will still make a trip, which costs several hundred dollars a night.

"Hey!" The child nodded happily. Nowadays, shrimp cages are easy to carry, and one person can easily catch forty shrimps. The only thing is that it takes time to collect them in the morning.

Qin Dahe walked in with a smile. Life was naturally different with a wife. The house was kept clean.

There was a chicken coop in the yard, as well as wooden racks with various nets and winnowing baskets neatly stacked on them.

When we entered the main hall, we saw a black and white photo of grandma placed on the incense hall.

Qin Dahe took three incense sticks and offered sacrifices.

"Grandma would definitely be happy if she knew you were living such a good life." Looking at Baoer's slightly bulging belly, she knew she was due to give birth in September or October.

"Yeah." The kid's eyes dimmed slightly, but then he became happy again. Life is good now.

"Brother, have some tea first." Baoer came up with tea.

When the eldest brother comes to visit, he is a distinguished guest, even closer than my own brothers, so naturally I have to serve him tea.

He took the tea with a smile and took a sip before putting it down.

"Come to my house for a midnight snack later. Tiedan is back just in time, so let's get together as a family."

The two immediately became happy when they heard it. They were both young people and they definitely liked this kind of gathering.

"It's almost May, baby, and I are going out for a trip. You can come and stay at my house then." He explained the purpose of his visit.

The last time I went to Nanjing, Baoer was home alone and someone came to his door. He was a little scared.

If something goes wrong, with this silly kid's personality, he will definitely kill someone.

"I have to feed the chickens and clean the house." She was at a loss for words.

"That's fine. It won't interfere with your work during the day. If you really can't do it, just go back to your mother's house for a few days. My mother will help you take care of it for two days." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "Bring more things back to your mother's house. My brother is very good at making money."

"Yeah." Baoer nodded happily. His elder brother had spoken, so it was a good opportunity to buy two sets of sportswear and a watch for his younger brother.

Although her family is rich, she has always been embarrassed to spend too much money on the family.

"I feel uneasy when I go out without my child," he said with a smile. "This time I'm going to Hubei, I'm paying him 150 yuan a day. All he needs to do is follow me and film videos and go fishing."

"Brother, no money is needed." The kid shook his head embarrassedly. How could he ask his elder brother for a salary when he had money now?

"Yes, brother, I brought back 20,000 yuan the last time I went to Nanjing with you."

The young couple are both grateful and have made a lot of money thanks to Qin Dahe.

"Just take it if I give it to you. It's not like I'm only going out once."

"Forget about giving birth this year. You'll have to take the baby south next year."

Now, the sales of silver carp and bighead carp bait mainly rely on his own promotion.

By constantly catching big fish and finding big fishing tackle agents in various places, we can sell more and more.

Going sea fishing is not only the dream of anglers, but also attracts people's attention and creates topics.

"That's all I have to say. Don't talk too much. Remember to come over for dinner later." After chatting for a while, he waved his hand and left.

When I get home, I have to light a fire to steam the fish head and prepare the charcoal stove.

Everyone arrived at 8:40 in the evening. Everyone wanted to come early to help with the preparations.

"Amei, Zhaodi, come and help me. Brother will start roasting it soon." Seeing people coming in, the maid immediately started to get busy.

Qin Dahe was coaxing his daughter in the room. She went to bed a little early today and it was very difficult to coax her.

"Baby, go to sleep quickly. Daddy is going to eat. You will have the energy to sleep only after you are full. Be good!"

After tossing and turning for a while, the dark eyes finally closed slightly.

He didn't dare put it down immediately and patted her for a while. It was really difficult to coax his daughter to sleep.

My son fell asleep a long time ago, and he was like a piglet, taking a nap even while lying on the stone cow.

I waited until the little guy's breathing became steady before I breathed a sigh of relief and gently let him go.

She pecked each of the two babies on the forehead. Her own cubs are so cute. Wow.

He smiled foolishly, then walked out of the door with a feeling of unsatisfied. The charcoal fire outside was already set up. "Brother, hurry up, the fish head will be stewed soon."

Because we caught a lot of silver carp today, and considering that there were two pregnant women, we stewed a pot of fish head soup.

The fish head soup stewed with big silver carp is delicious and nutritious. Sprinkle some fried rice in it and it will be fragrant.

"Okay, kid, help me cut the meat." Qin Dahe took out the meat first, and then prepared the sauce.

The silly kid can at least cook a little. I've made barbecue with him a few times and he's very skilled at it.

The pork belly that had been frozen for two hours was not completely firm, but it was in just the right condition, and the cut meat was evenly thick.

"Cut it in two ways: thin and thick."

"I know." The child nodded happily and started cutting the meat skillfully.

He loves to eat big fish and meat, but unfortunately, his wife refuses to raise pigs at home no matter what.

"This silly guy, his eyes light up when he sees meat." Baoer said with a smile, and followed Yanyan and the others to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.

"Is the morning sickness severe now?" Yanyan touched her belly curiously. It was much smaller than hers at that time.

"It's okay, as long as I don't smell like a pigsty."

She was really tired of raising pigs. She had to cut grass and clean the pigpen when she was young, and then pick up the pig manure when she grew up and sell the pigs in the morning.

I have been dealing with pigs for so many years, but now that I am married, I will never raise pigs again.

After her husband left with her eldest brother, she didn't plan to move back to her parents' home. She would just sleep with Yanyan, and she would have to help raise pigs when she returned home.

After I became pregnant, I felt like vomiting whenever I smelled the foul odor in the pigpen, no matter how thoroughly I cleaned it.

As plates of barbecue came down, two small tables were set up again. The chopped pepper fish head was placed in half on each side, and the fish soup was placed on the ground. Whoever wanted to drink it could get a bowl.

A 20-jin fish head, half of which weighs several jin, plus eight jin of grilled soft pork belly, is enough to eat.

After everything was done and they washed their hands, the four men sat down chatting and laughing.

"One person will go first. Everyone can drink as much as they want tonight."

"Go one."

This time they drank rice wine, the one sent by Erhu's grandfather, and there was half a jar left.

I finished the first cup right away. The hot rice wine tasted sweet and mellow. It was delicious when I had two pieces of barbecue.

The four of them couldn't wait to eat the fish head first. The cheek meat and brain were picked up in no time. They were soft and tender, and tasted delicious when paired with the salty and fragrant chopped pepper.

"Enjoyable."

"Haha, I caught more than 150 kilograms of fish today, and the biggest ones weighed more than 20 kilograms." Qin Dahe excitedly talked about the fishing process today.

A nine-meter fishing rod is really cool. The resources in Xiaohekou are not as abundant as those in the original big gate. I was purely lucky to be able to catch more than 150 kilograms.

"Ce, that's really cool." Tiedan said enviously. "Going to work every day makes people stupid."

"Just having a salary is not enough. I can practice my skills and open my own shop." Erhu said with a smile.

"Mao, our boss is almost sleeping in the store." Thinking that being a boss doesn't have as much freedom as he imagined, he couldn't help but envy Qin Dahe.

"You guys are so cool, you even have time to go fishing."

"It's all the same. You can still fish when you're not working in the county. Just go to the moat and have some fun."

"You can't fish in the moat. It's full of net workers. You'll get killed if you go in."

After another glass of wine, Qin Dahe shook his head slightly when he heard it. This is how it is in the downtown area.

With more people, there will be more network workers. Once solid-state batteries are sold to the county, there will also be more electricians, and then it will be even more difficult to play.

The countryside is still better. There are not only Yuxi River and Xiaohekou, but also many other places where fish are found.

"Kid, take a nine-meter rod with you when you leave later and practice casting. Erhu's fish is useless today because he's been messing around for a long time."

"Yeah." The kid nodded heavily. With a nine-meter fishing rod, he must be good at fishing.

He also likes to catch big fish and makes a lot of money from fishing.

After returning from Jinling, when his carpentry work was not busy, he would fish during the day and set nets at night, and he really enjoyed the feeling of harvest.

"I'll give you some trash fish tomorrow. There's plenty every day."

"Has the net been set up?" Qin Dahe asked with a smile. He had just gone to Hanwaer's house and saw them preparing the net.

"Fifty fish caught," the kid chuckled. "Now the old man sells fish for ninety-five per pound, making a lot of money."

"Ce, it's so expensive."

The three of them were shocked. Ninety-five yuan per catty, even white eels are not worth this price at the moment.

"Haha, it needs to be bigger, it's harder to catch."

Old man fish are generally one finger long or a little smaller, and it is very difficult to get a big one weighing one kilogram.

When Qin Dahe cast his nets, even with forty nets he might not be able to catch a fish that was even one pound in size.

A close relative of the old man fish, the "idiot fish", can be caught in large quantities, but it cannot be sold at this price.

"Let's have barbecue and finish all five pounds of meat." There were eight pounds of soft pork belly, and the four women couldn't eat too much, so they took less.

"Dahe, your cooking skills are quite good."

With big chunks of meat and big gulps of wine, the small yard became lively again.

Since they had children one after another, they rarely get together so happily.

On the other side, the women gathered together for a lively meal. The three women who had all given birth to children were telling Baoer about parenting tips.
