Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 511: Output of Handmade Bleach
It was 6:30 in the evening, and he had just finished his meal. He was so hot that he was covered in sweat.

Not only was the roasted eel spicy, but the weather was also hot, so I simply took the two kids to the lake to take a bath.

"Brother, Hanwa is here to see you." Yanyan saw a tricycle entering the yard and knew that it was Hanwa and Baoer coming.

"Got it, get ready to pick up the baby." It was so comfortable in the water that he didn't even want to get out of the water.

The two boys cleaned up the mess briefly, and he wiped himself a few times and went ashore.

"Wa'er, go to the warehouse and get the things first. Remember to bring the spotlight and batteries."

Baoer skillfully took a baby and went with Yanyan to dress the child.

"Brother, this is for you." The silly kid pulled him to the side and took out a small bag mysteriously.

Qin Dahe took it and took a look. A meatball?

"Six little eggs left over from when my father-in-law castrated a pig."

"What a good stuff." His eyes lit up. The pig's eggs were tender and not fishy. Most people couldn't get them.

He put the food directly in the refrigerator and baked it later. It tasted delicious.

Baoer is pregnant now, so Silly Baby is of no use, so she will definitely give it to her eldest brother as a filial gift.

"Haha, let's pack up first. Let's see if we can catch a few catfish tonight."

They have wives and children at home, and they plan to fish until 9:30, just to try their luck.

But the preparations were very thorough. Not only did he have two fishing rods, he also brought a long string of ground hooks, which were prepared by the silly kid.

A fifteen-meter fishing line with ten hooks tied to it was thrown into the river with pig livers hooked on them, and then collected together when leaving.

By fishing with hooks, you can at least get some fish or something to bring back at night so you don’t come back empty-handed.

The things he brought were also simple: a scoop net, two fishing rods, a spotlight and a light stand, as well as the two kilograms of loaches that the kid caught during the day.

I didn't even bring a fish basket, I just took the fish home and killed them as soon as I caught them.

Because there are more mosquitoes at night, I wore long sleeves and long pants and took four boxes of mosquito coils.

After packing up, Qin Dahe got on the tricycle and the two set off.

The place to fish for bigmouth catfish is at the shipwreck. I caught a nest of mandarin fish last time, so I want to give it a try this time. It is convenient to set up ground hooks.

First put up the lamp, and then Qin Dahe began to cut loach into pieces to make a nest.

"Kid, put the ground hook on the other side."

"Yeah." The silly kid set off with a flashlight and a washbasin, and went straight to the edge of the shipwreck and stepped over.

There is a lead weight at the end of the ground hook, which can be thrown out directly.

There is also a foam ball near the hook of the sub-line, and the hanging pig liver will float ten centimeters below the water surface, so it will not get stuck on the bottom.

This is a method that Hanwa figured out on his own. Ground hooks get stuck too easily.

Every time the fishing line gets stuck on the bottom, a set of fishing rods will be wasted, and sometimes even after catching a fish, I can’t pull it up.

With this method of using a large string of reverse bottom hooks, you only need to put out about ten every night, and sometimes you can catch a lot of fish.

However, the brothers' operating range is limited, and they only release the fish once every three days, using ground hooks and shrimp cages in turn.

Qin Dahe has prepared a nest and put out the bait, which is small loach and eel intestines, ready to hang double hooks.

The intestines of eels are not simple and have a strong bloody smell. The ground where eels have been killed can attract bats in the middle of the night.

Catching bigmouth catfish and yellow croaker is a must-do here. This was told to me by an old fishing friend from Hubei, so I came here tonight to try it.

After placing two ground hooks, Silly Kid also came over.

"Light the mosquito coils first. Damn, there are so many mosquitoes." He cursed and started to prepare for the slippery road.

It is not suitable to use a table rod to catch large catfish. If you encounter a giant one, you can still pull it.

The main line is No. 10 nylon, the sub-line is No. 8, and with the wheel, even a boat weighing forty or fifty kilograms has a chance.

In summer, catfish are in the spawning period and have a good appetite, but they don't like to bask in the sun.

If you want to fish during the day, go to a shady place. It’s better to go at night, at least it’s cooler.

After the two slippery paths were ready, the two brothers sat on the ground smoking and waiting for the bait to appear. Fishing was no longer a hurried matter.

"Baby, now that this baby is born, are you going to have more?" He asked with a smile, taking a deep puff of cigarette.

I have done an ultrasound and it shows that the first baby is a baby. I am very lucky.

"Baoer said to wait a while and wait until this baby is older before having another one." Silly kid felt a little depressed when he thought of this.

Grandma's biggest wish is that he can have many children, so she must want to have more.

"We really have to wait. You don't have anyone to help you at home. How can you have time to take care of children if you keep giving birth to babies?"

"That's what Bao'er said."

Qin Dahe smiled. This silly brother only knew how to give birth. Raising a child is not that simple. You can't have one just by having money.

"Anyway, this baby is a son, so there's no rush for the next one. Let's make some money first. We have to hold on tight to that float, as many people are waiting."

The sales of other fishing gear are not yet known, but handmade floats are indeed very popular.

"I know. Now I can make more than 20 a day."

"Haha, if that doesn't work, then we can just use some tools. I'm going to think of a mold that can automatically cut the flowers on the reed flute."

"Can I use a cannula?"

"Emmmmm, how about this? Make a few thin steel tubes, leave notches according to different diameters, and you can cut directly along the notches, okay?" The floats produced by the master and apprentice are heavy floats. The float heads are customized from the injection molding factory, and the float tails are made of steel core. The density of the ironwood is still not enough.

"Okay, let's go back and try." The silly kid thought about it and realized that there was indeed a way to do it. He could make money by making floats.

The key to handmade floats is the float belly. The float belly of heavy floats is very particular from the beginning of material selection. After being exposed to the sun, only a small part of the reed flute can be used.

Not all of them are qualified, and many reed flutes are scrapped after being dried in the sun.

Then make serrations on a small section of the reed flute and remove the inner core from the teeth at an angle to retain buoyancy.

Insert the core, let the glue dry, apply wax, and test for waterproofness.

The process is a little complicated. The standard weight of the float is between eight and fifteen grams. The most technically demanding part is the production of the float belly.

There is also the issue of yield rate. When striving for perfection, even the slightest mistake will result in the product being scrapped.

The master and apprentice also had other work to do, so they could only do it slowly.

If the mold is made well, the output can be increased immediately.

Half an hour passed while the two were talking, and then they started fishing.

The road was slippery and the fish was gently swung out. It was only about ten meters away from the shore. Even with the spotlight in the middle of the night, it was difficult to float well, so it was not suitable to be thrown too far.

There was no movement after I went down, so I can only wait.

There are still a lot of mosquitoes. Even if we put four mosquito coils in a formation, it won't work. The mosquitoes by the water are extremely poisonous and can bite people through their clothes.

He killed one with a slap, and cursed as he moved the mosquito coil closer. Suddenly, a black float appeared, and he immediately began to raise the rod vigorously to catch the fish.

"Swish!" The sound of water cutting was heard.

"Haha, it's good to have the goods." Qin Dahe's face was full of joy, it was worth feeding mosquitoes at night.

The silly kid over there saw the fish was caught and moved to the side.

After two rounds of letting out and reeling in the line, he found out that the fish didn’t have enough stamina, so he started to reel it in directly.

"Brother, it's a black carp." The yellow light was noticed by the silly kid just by showing its head once.

The cheeks of the big alligator were brass-colored; they had caught countless of them in the Yangtze River.

"Haha, not bad, it's a big one after all."

Ten minutes later, he pulled the alligator up with satisfaction.

Just tie it to a tree with a rope and go home to pickle salted fish. It's good, but if you pickle it in the summer, you have to cover it with a cover.

The black carp eats loaches. He caught another one and thought to himself that it must be time for the fish to start fishing.

The strong smell of blood will definitely attract catfish.

Just as I was about to light a cigarette, a black guy came over from the silly kid's side.

After a few shakes, a bigmouth catfish finally came ashore, but it was too small, weighing just over three pounds.

It's okay to cook a bowl of this stuff by itself, but it's not enough for two people to share.

"What bait did you eat?"

"Intestines."

"It's really effective." Qin Dahe was delighted and simply pulled up the line and hung all the eel intestines on it.

The silly kid happily put the bait again, without removing the loach. It would be possible to catch some mandarin fish if there was a chance, but I don't know how the fish will bite at night.

When I was fishing in the loach nests in the Yangtze River, I never saw the mandarin fish. This fish is quite evil.

You can catch a nest of fish from the cabin of a sunken ship, but when you really want to fish, you can't catch any.

"Swish!" Another stickleback, the Qin Dahe River is dark.

"Here it comes, it should be the catfish."

The fish struggled quite hard, and the crisp sound of Shimano releasing the line was heard.

After struggling for a few minutes, the fish began to jump out of the water.

The dark figure with a hint of white on its belly confirmed that it was a catfish.

This one is not small, at least over ten pounds. The eel intestines are really useful.

It took a few minutes to pull it up. I didn't dare to pull up such a big fish. If it ran away, my legs would be swollen.

As usual, I hang them on the tree, kill them all and put them in the refrigerator when I get home at night.

Now that he is rich, he never sells the good fish he catches. He enjoys them first.

Once the fishing ban in the Yangtze River is implemented, it will take a lot of effort to eat these delicious foods.

The catfish kept struggling on the tree, which was a bit creepy. Qin Dahe picked up a stone and knocked it unconscious.

"Damn it, he's still so arrogant even after coming ashore." He cast the rod again and lit a cigarette at the right time.

The silly kid took the cigarette handed to him by his elder brother and lit it happily.

The two brothers shared the fish equally tonight. The catfish is fat and delicious, who wouldn’t like it?

Relatively speaking, he is not so interested in the black carp.

He took a deep puff of the cigarette and just pulled it out, he started moving again.

I threw away the cigarette and started reeling with both hands. I only have two and a half hours tonight, so I can't waste time.
