Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 47 I won’t be in trouble
"Kid, take a break and let uncle have his fun."

"Yeah." The silly kid rubbed his wrists and arms. He was very tired after catching two big fish in a row, one running and one pulling them in.

The two sat on the bench, leisurely poured a cup of boiled water, and watched Qin's father and uncle fishing.

I don't have to give orders myself this time. The old man is very good at teaching and explained all the techniques he just mentioned.

"My son made this bait at a high cost. He even added milk powder to it, so it smells delicious."

Faced with the old man's boasting, Uncle Six and the uncle actually nodded seriously. There was indeed a smell of milk, no wonder he could catch big fish so often.

Of course, he could only brag. Father Qin now knew that the recipe his son had developed at home was valuable, so he wouldn't reveal it easily.

This time the bite was lighter, and the uncle didn’t wait until he had caught three eyes. He suddenly stabbed the fish when he had caught one and a half eyes, and the sound of waterline cutting was heard instantly.

This is the power of three hooks. It is impossible to hook fish so steadily with a single hook. In later generations, countless fish escaped with a single hook.

"It's so fun, this thing is really useful, haha." The uncle laughed heartily and started to play the fish like the silly kid did just now.

Qin's father had caught several silver carp and bighead carp, all weighing one or two kilograms. They were completely inedible and could only be taken home to raise.

Qin Dahe watched the two men busying around, and asked Hanwaer to keep an eye on the uncle so that he wouldn't be dragged into the water by the fish. He then began to prepare lunch.

Boil water, then wash the basin where you just prepared the bait, start pouring oatmeal and sugar into it, and rinse it directly when the water boils.

I brought some leftovers with me in the morning, and I just washed them down with hot soup and added some pickles and they were ready to eat. Nowadays, they don’t pay attention to this when they go fishing.

The norm for anglers is that the fish they catch are better to eat than the people themselves. If they can’t achieve this, they are not considered professional anglers at all.

The dog doesn't need to be fed. It hasn't digested the bait it ate this morning and is still humming.

Ten minutes later, the silly kid helped the uncle catch a silver carp and bighead carp weighing more than 20 kilograms, which made the old man depressed.

So luck is really important. Two identical rods were used in the same nest with the same bait. Big fish were frequently caught on this side, while the biggest fish on the other side was only over ten pounds, and only some silver carp and bighead carp were caught.

At this time, Uncle Liu had already gone back. It was good enough that he could go out fishing every day. If he went back late, he would definitely be scolded.

"Dad, let's eat first." He called out, and then said to the uncle: "Uncle Lei, do you want to come over and eat something?"

After a brief conversation, I learned that this uncle's surname is Lei, and he is a government clerk in Jiuzi City. He is taking advantage of his day off to go fishing.

Qin Dahe believed it out loud, but he didn't believe a word of it in his heart. The old man also felt that this guy was hiding something.

How could ordinary clerks have such temperament? If he is really an older clerk, you should call him "young man" instead of "fellow villager" when you see him for the first time.

At first glance, he is a person of some status. It is impossible for him to call someone a fellow villager in normal speech.

But Qin Dahe planned to settle down in the countryside for the rest of his life and was too lazy to try to build connections. Qin's father had a similar idea, so they just decided to make money.

"Okay, I'll have a bite too." The uncle didn't put on airs. He took the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.

The old man and Uncle Lei ate quickly, and then continued to cast their rods and fish.

After finishing his meal, Qin Dahe went to play with the dog, picked up a cigarette, and sat leisurely on the bench.

"Fried noodles. I'll see if there are any suffocated fish later. I'll cook you a meal tonight."

"Wangwangwang!"

"Haha, you are greedy too. I will raise two cats to play with you." Kittens are the main ones who eat fish.

He was not in a hurry at all. The old man was just getting excited and could still hold on. He would probably be done for if he caught a big fish.

The bites in the morning were not that good, except for the first cast. Although the bites after that were frequent, they were very light and difficult to catch.

Once the sun shines on it and the upper water temperature rises a bit, it will probably be easier to fish.

Unfortunately, he didn't bring a lure rod today. Otherwise, he could use it to fish, make a slippery path, and catch a big fish. He estimated that the fish that Silly Boy had cut the line with was at least 40 kilograms, and in the final tug-of-war, it couldn't even hold the rod.

Uncle Lei over there caught another fish, and the sound of water cutting could be heard back and forth.

It seemed as if Qin's father's nest was disturbed, and the fish suddenly stopped biting.

After Uncle Lei slipped the fish away, the conversation here resumed.

"call out!"

"There's a fish, come here quickly, it's a big one." The old man shouted excitedly.

The two men started to fish from the left and right, and both of them bent their bows widely, making dense sounds of cutting through the water.

"Kid, go look after Uncle Lei and stop fishing in the water."

"Ah."

The most feared thing when fishing near such a bottomless dam is falling into the water. No one wears a life jacket when fishing nowadays.

"This one is too big, Dad. Try to make the angle between the rod tip and the big section smaller."

"I know, it's more comfortable to have a long rod, haha!" Qin's father groaned. He finally caught a big fish today, and he couldn't let the fish get away.

Qin Dahe was waiting by the side at any time. In case the old man got stubborn and refused to unhooke his rod and go into the water, he would have to pull him in.

This kind of situation is very normal for fishermen. He had experienced this in the giant black pond in his previous life. He felt that the fishing rod could not hold up and jumped into the water.

As long as the angle of fishing is not right, even the most expensive fishing rod will break, regardless of the quality.

Until Uncle Lei fished out a big silver carp weighing fifteen or sixteen pounds and caught fish again, the old man was still fishing.

"Dad, we really can't play tug-of-war." Half an hour has passed.

"Take your time, don't rush. Buy thicker thread next time."

Qin Dahe: “.”

With the fishing conditions so good, this is a complete waste of time, and he also suspects that there may be silver carp and bighead carp below.

Silver carp and bighead carp are not that persistent, maybe they have been anchored to other fish.

Half an hour later, Qin Dahe asked, "Dad, is it over?"

"roll!"

Uncle Lei has already caught three silver carp and bighead carp weighing over ten kilograms, but here we haven’t even seen any fish.

"Oh my god, it's a big black carp, huge." Qin's father's eyes sparkled. It was a big black carp, more valuable than silver carp and bighead carp.

Just by looking at the fleeting fish head, he knew it weighed at least 40 kilograms.

???

What the hell is black carp? Can you draw black carp with a scatter shot?

"Don't disbelieve me, the ingredients in your recipe are all eaten by herring." Qin's father didn't say what they were, but Qin Dahe knew as soon as he heard them that they were talking about rice bran, corn flour and oats.

Normally, wild fishing for black carp mainly involves large snails and corn, but I didn’t expect that scattered shot could also be caught.

But he couldn't care about these things now. He was waiting by the side with a scoop net. If he didn't catch the fish, the relationship between father and son would be broken immediately. Hey!
