Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 458: Another Giant
"Teacher Dahe (Huo), where can I buy this bait? I'd like to introduce you to a girl, I know she's very beautiful."

"This is still under development. I'll give you some later." He turned to look at Brother Fu, "What does the second half say?"

He really doesn't understand, and often relies on guessing when chatting with local anglers.

"He said he wanted to introduce you to a beautiful girlfriend." Brother Fu said with a helpless smile.

"Haha, I'm a little late. I already have a lover." I tried to reply and laughed at myself.

While we were chatting and laughing, the silly kid came over with a big bag of lunch boxes.

The anglers nearby either go back to eat or just eat steamed buns. Fishermen really don’t care about what they eat.

The lunch box for lunch also contained fish and some green vegetables. The silly kid said it cost one dollar and fifty cents per portion.

This is the normal price.

Everyone took a portion and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

"It's too hot here." After finishing a box of food, his body was soaked.

When the sun shines on the fishing umbrella, the water surface will also reflect the light, which is very refreshing.

"This place is like this. It's not summer yet, but it's so hot in summer." Boss Wan wiped the sweat from his face with a sweat towel.

It's only the beginning of May, and the temperature has probably reached around 34 or 35 degrees Celsius. No wonder fishing for silver carp and bighead carp went so smoothly today.

After dinner, everyone sat down to rest, lit cigarettes and started bragging.

“Do you have many competitions here?”

"There are competitions every month. There's one at Honghu on the 10th, and two at Liangzi Lake next month. If you want to play a game, you can participate every month." Brother Fu said excitedly.

"Teacher Dahe, why don't you also come and participate? Then you can also be selected as a fishing master."

"Haha, forget it. If you are interested, just participate more and I will sponsor you." Qin Dahe shook his head.

He is just building up his fame to sell bait. If he is really asked to travel all over the country to participate in competitions, he might as well go back to processing machines.

"Brother Fu, if you really want to continue in this line of work, I will take care of all the bait and fishing gear for future competitions. I can even make small medicines that are adaptable to various fish ponds."

"I'm not going to play games, no matter the size of the competition, as long as you're in the top three, I'll give you 5,000 and the champion 10,000. Is that okay with you?"

Brother Fu has solid basic skills. Just by looking at his skin color, you can tell that he is a veteran fisherman. He is still worth investing in.

To be honest, after deducting the travel expenses for participating in the competition, there is not much left. Today's fishing competition masters are spending all their family fortunes.

"Really?"

"I can't really fool you, but you have to advertise the bait, and the umbrella fishing tackle has to be labeled. I'll send it to you later."

"Okay then." Brother Fu nodded happily in agreement.

He comes from a middle-class family and certainly doesn't have to work hard to make a living, but the cost of participating in fishing competitions is really not small.

When all bait and fishing gear are included, there is also a prize for winning the competition, which greatly eases the conflicts at home.

"If you become famous and get the title of Fishing King, I can give you the shares." Qin Dahe said with a smile. "Anyway, if you achieve something, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

If you really get the title of Fishing King, it will drive the development of the brand very strongly, even giving you one or two points of shares will be fine.

It should be no problem to plan ahead now, recruit a few famous anglers, and feed two competitive fishing masters with small medicines yourself.

Otherwise, it would be really disgusting if those internet celebrities rise up and set up a master-disciple circle in the future.

Boss Wan was also quite excited when he heard this. Shares, the profitability of silver carp and bighead carp bait was obvious to all.

But thinking about the fact that I have a family and have to be busy with business, I can only suppress my thoughts.

"Well, I will definitely participate in the competition well."

"This is for you. It's custom-made from abroad and costs four thousand yuan each. It's a meeting gift and serves as the prize money for winning the championship last time." Qin Dahe took out the remaining nine-meter fishing rod.

"Fuck." Brother Fu's eyes widened when he saw the fishing rod was given to him.

I was so jealous in the morning, but I didn't expect to get one for myself at noon.

"Haha, the sword makes a hero. Use it to win two more championships." He took out a spare rod and handed it over.

It's just a fishing rod, and two of them can be used together.

If you go fishing in your hometown, a nine-meter fishing rod is not as good as a wheeled one.

This is how a silly kid fishes for herring.

Brother Fu started to use the line set to fiddle with his new fishing rod, but casting is not something that can be mastered in a short time, so he can only practice slowly.

"Tell me about the competition. I haven't participated in it yet."

"The competition is also divided into levels, and there are also competitions organized by manufacturers themselves." Brother Fu talked about the content of some competitions in detail.

The content about the fish catch in the competition aroused his interest.

Most competitions are free fishing, which can be found in large lakes, rivers or mixed ponds. This type of competition basically uses silver carp and bighead carp as bait, as silver carp and bighead carp are the fastest of all fish.

Another type is target fish competition, which is included in some large-scale comprehensive competitions.

For example, one round might be for silver carp and bighead carp, two for sea bass, and three for carp. Any fish other than the target fish wouldn't count. Qin Dahe secretly thought that this type of targeted fishing method was more suitable for him. Many small drugs were highly targeted, and that's what he'd studied the most when he was working in the gun pit.

Especially for carp, he knew at least three kinds of medicine for carp, as well as various secret formula baits.

But carp is not valuable now, so they are not taken out.

After a short break, we didn't delay any further as others started catching fish.

The temperature was high at noon, but fishing for silver carp and bighead carp was really fun. They started to move within a minute of casting the rod.

And there were more people around than in the morning.

A pause for two seconds, then a direct thrust, followed by a big curved bow, which is very cool.

This kind of crazy pulling without stopping is something I have never experienced even at a big gate, and there is also a silly kid to help me.

"Take a more handsome picture so I can show off on the forum tonight."

"Haha." Everyone laughed. It's really good to be so straightforward.

Qin Dahe chuckled, posed and started to pull back.

Soon, a small silver carp weighing more than five kilograms was pulled up, and then the rod was cast again.

"Brother Wan, is there anyone buying fish locally? I estimate I'll catch over 200 kilograms today," he said proudly.

"Yes, there are boats coming to collect them in the evening. Live silver carp is 1.5 yuan, and bighead carp is 4 yuan."

"Row."

He had already expected the low price of fish in Wuhan because the resources are so abundant.

If it were Jiuzi, the purchase price would almost double.

But he didn't care, as long as it could subsidize his food, accommodation and gas expenses.

He was pulling the string wildly, and there were a few people standing behind him, so the silly kid blocked them vigilantly.

"Hello, is this Mr. Dahe here?" A man in his thirties standing in front said politely.

Qin Dahe turned around and took a look while controlling the fish. "What's the matter?"

"We came here because we admired the show and wanted to learn from it, so we just watched from the sidelines."

"Okay, whatever you want." He didn't care.

He didn't dare to pull the fish casually because it was too big and he was afraid of breaking the rod.

When the fish exerts force, the "woooo" sound of cutting through the water makes people's blood boil.

He had to start running after the fish.

The nine-meter fishing rod was almost stretched to 180 degrees. I tried hard to reel in the fish, holding the rod with both hands the whole time without putting it on the ground.

Fortunately, it is made of composite material. A pure carbon fishing rod would have exploded long ago.

He estimated that it was over 30 kilograms, and if he used a raw bamboo pole and No. 15 line, he could pull it up in ten minutes.

"Please make way, thank you everyone." People passing by were very considerate and could tell at a glance that it was a large shipment.

"Niubi."

"They say it all, Mr. Dahe's bait is really effective, the big fish down there must be a black man."

The silver carp and bighead carp fishermen around here looked at him with envy, as the fish came too frequently.

They caught a lot themselves, but the most they caught in a morning was only about 70 kilograms, which was nothing compared to him.

Seeing signs of sinking further, Qin Dahe had to hold on for a while.

The muscles on the arms bulge, and the muscle lines of the forearms are fully exposed.

Starting with fishing with raw bamboo poles, the brothers gradually developed strong arms.

Including Erhu and Hanwa, their arms are frighteningly thick.

Twenty minutes later, when I felt the fish had lost some strength, I started to stick the fishing rod into the ground, and then lit a cigarette with one hand as usual.

"Ce, the rod is soft, otherwise I'll try to catch a fish that will open the sky." He took a deep puff of the cigarette, feeling relieved.

"Can such a big fish be caught and the sky is opened with one catch?" Boss Wan often reads his forum and knows what "one catch and the sky is opened" means.

At this time he slipped back and the fishing rod was stuck right next to him.

"Haha, when we were at Jinniu Lake, a black carp weighing about 20 kilograms was brought directly ashore." Qin Dahe said proudly.

Of course, the sea rods used at that time had wheels, so there was no need to worry about the rod breaking or the line being cut.

"sharp."

The fish has already surfaced.
