Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 514 Float Mold
After dinner, I immediately started helping grandpa and the others make the casing.

Two bottles of beer won't interfere with work.

Heavy floats of different sizes are taken out from the warehouse as samples. Generally, when it comes to cutting the saw teeth, the thickness is fixed.

He was also very skilled. He used iron sheets to circle out iron tubes according to the size of the float belly and then welded them together.

Most people can't do this.

Use the thinnest welding rod and a current of 10A to slowly weld out a line, then simply polish the outside.

After forming the roll, you have to cut out the serrations and test it twice.

"Silly boy, go to my workshop and cut some dried reed flutes for me." Grandpa called out while adjusting the teeth of the saw with scissors.

"Oh."

Qin Dahe continued to produce. The appearance of these iron pipes looked basically the same, but the size might differ by only a few millimeters.

If a hand-made float wants to maintain precision while being durable, the size and serrations are the key.

After cutting, it fits perfectly and you can just glue it on.

If the workmanship is poor, there will be large gaps between the teeth, and even if glue gets on it, there will be problems.

After using it for ten days or half a month, the inside will be soaked through and the amount of lead consumed will begin to decrease.

Apart from anything else, at the price of eight yuan per stick, my grandfather and his team must have been striving for excellence.

When Hanwa came back with the reeds, they started experimenting on the spot.

Qin Dahe was still working on other models, so he couldn't help with tooth cutting and adjustments.

He welded thirty in total, and when he was done he was drenched in sweat again, and a lot of iron sheets were wasted.

Then when it came to my grandfather, the yield rate was not ideal because the work was cut too hard.

Qin Dahe thought that if this worked, he would let his grandfather be the boss next year and assign custom tasks to other carpenters.

The output is too low now. With the popularity of silver carp and bighead carp bait, manual heavy floats are simply not enough, and any output is eaten up by four agents.

A silver carp and bighead carp fisherman must have at least three heavy floats with different lead capacities, not to mention spare floats.

This year, my grandfather and his family went to the city to do a big job. We all know the master carpenters in the county, so it's a good opportunity for us to make some money together and ask them for help.

These carpenters must have good skills, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get the 500 yuan a day salary.

First see if this mold can work, then calculate the output and then decide how to distribute it.

The master and apprentice tried several times to cut one, and Grandpa frowned again.

"The inner wall still needs to be polished, so I have to take it back and do it." They have a workbench in their carpentry workshop, so they must have the tools.

The inner wall of the casing must also be polished and rounded.

"Then take it back and make it. If it's not enough, I'll help you make it."

Grandpa nodded and said that there were not enough tools here.

"Silly boy, send Bao'er back and then come to my workshop."

"Okay master."

Qin Dahe couldn't stand the heat anymore. After Hanwaer sent Baoer back, he took a towel and prepared to wash again.

My mother-in-law is helping to wash the dishes and clear the table. It’s okay for her to go back later.

"Dahe, didn't you say you would help me install the exhaust fan this afternoon?" Mother Qin coaxed the baby to sleep for a long time before coming out.

There are more people here today, and the two kids are still in high spirits.

"Don't drink and drive. Call Dad later and ask him to bring a replacement fan back from the county."

After saying that, he went straight to the back.

If I want to install and replace the fan, I have to use a cutting machine to cut grooves in the kitchen. I will do that after I have a sleep.

After soaking in the water, he didn't even want to get out of the water.

He didn't get up until his hands turned slightly white.

I lit a cigarette and sat on the diving platform, looking at the lake happily. It was so cool.

This time I will keep the bait well and fish for a few days to add some more black carp to the lake.

If there is a chance in the future, it would be great to host a few "Dahe Cups".

The fish that are not fed at all are not comparable to those in black pits, and the deepest part of the lake is eight meters, so the fish in it must be strong.

If the four major carps are well raised, they can easily sustain three or four competitions.

Just keep putting in the fish, and you can catch some fish to try from time to time.

After sitting for a long time and finishing a cigarette, he went back to the room to take over from his mother and accompany the two children to sleep. He was half asleep when he suddenly felt a stomachache and almost couldn't breathe.

Before I could react, another kick came.

It turned out that it was his eldest daughter who was calling him to get up, but her method was quite unique. She lifted her foot and hit his stomach with the heel of her foot.

"You little bastard, I almost kicked you to death."

It’s so terrible. The little guy is so strong. My stomach still hurts now.

Four eyes looked at him innocently, without making any noise.

The mat was a little wet, and you could tell there was urine on it without even looking.

"Mother!"

"What the hell are you yelling for?" After yelling for a while, Qin's mother finally came into the room. "Call me for everything."

"The baby peed, and my stomach hurts so much from being kicked." He said aggrievedly. It really hurt.

"How much strength can a child have? Get out of here." She picked up the two kids and went out.

Qin Dahe picked up his phone and saw that it was already five o'clock.

With a sigh, he rolled up the mat and washed it in the water.

It's so hot today, it will dry out in a short time.

I had just finished washing when Yanyan came in riding a scooter.

"Brother, why did you get the mat all wet?" She got off the car and went into the house. It was so hot that she had to eat ice cream.

"The baby has peed, let me wash it." He just spread the mat on the ground and left it alone.

The couple sat at the door eating popsicles together, while Qin's mother took the two children to the lake to wash them.

"Brother, you can't soak the mat in water." Yanyan gave him a look of disdain. "You're so stupid!" "It will turn yellow and rot, and it will crack easily if you expose it to the sun."

She gloated and said, "Mom will definitely scold you when she comes here later."

Qin Dahe: “.”

How would he know this? He's not the kind of person who does housework, and he's just trying to be diligent.

After eating the ice cream, Yanyan took a towel and went to the lake to pick up the child.

The Santana is already parked in the yard. It looks like my dad has finished work and is probably taking a break.

I walked into the kitchen and saw the exhaust fan next to the stove, but it had not been installed yet.

Thinking that I would be scolded later, I started working immediately.

Measure the size first and find out it is 30*30, which makes it easy.

The window side of the kitchen is a single-layer wall. He directly drew on the wall with a black pen and then cut it with a cutting machine.

I had just finished cutting a line and my body was covered in debris and sweat started to pour down.

Qin's mother happened to be taking her baby to the yard to play at this moment. Seeing him busying around, and then looking at the wet mat on the ground, she snorted.

What a rotten son, he just makes trouble every day.

Seeing that my mother didn’t scold him, he continued working and finally managed to escape.

But it's really unbearable to be cut like this, and it hurts when the broken pieces hit my body.

After thinking about it, he simply put a snakeskin bag around his neck, took Yanyan's helmet, and went back to continue working.

Sure enough, things got much better after I started working again, and the 30*30 holes were cut quickly.

It must also be installed outside, and then twisted with wire inside to prevent it from falling.

Then turn on the power and you're done.

"Mom, it's done."

"It would be better to do it sooner." After glaring at her son unhappily, Qin's mother went in to try the effect.

I found it really good. The kitchen space is small, and when the exhaust fan is turned on, I can clearly feel the air being discharged out.

"Brother, go wash it quickly, it's so dirty." Yanyan took her helmet and wiped it clean with heartache.

"Yeah, let's eat less tonight. I'll make you some grilled fish and some mutton." He chuckled, took the towel and went to the lake to take a bath again, and then he would patrol the pond later.

There is still a small catfish left, weighing more than two kilograms. It would be nice to have a grilled fish for a midnight snack.

It's so hot, I have no appetite for a proper meal.
