Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 60 The Teleporting Fish

In the middle of the night, when I was half asleep and half awake, it started to rain heavily outside, and the sound of rain falling on the window sill was very dense.

He turned over and continued to sleep. He didn't have to go fishing tomorrow.

I was woken up by my father just after dawn.

"Abao, accompany me to collect the cages and help me build a fishing platform." It is definitely not possible to fish in the mud in such heavy rain. It will be troublesome if you slip into the water.

Qin Dahe: “.”

At this time, his resentment can resurrect the two evil sword immortals. Ce, it’s just dawn.

Helplessly, they took a shovel, a bucket, and some wooden boards from the utility room, and went to cut some tree stumps. The father and son went to work in the rain.

There is no need to hold an umbrella, just wear a raincoat to keep the clothes inside dry. You have to take a shower when you come back, otherwise you will get sick in this bad weather.

When they got down there, they ignored the fishing platform and started collecting the shrimp cages, one on the left and one on the right.

As expected, the net burst. The smaller the fish in a cage, the more than two taels. The larger the fish, the more than half a jin. There were also quite a few tigers crawling on the ground.

This thing is valuable, weighing about fifty pounds, but it's small, and the largest one is probably less than one or two pounds. Those fishermen are so annoying.

Because it can float in any way you want. The little fish that can "teleport" that you saw when you were a child is the ground tiger.

There are very few whitebait. The whitebait in the Yuxi River are the reserve food for fish such as black carp. Only some of them gather in some places with calm water.

I don’t have time to clean up and sort things out now, so I can only wait until I go to the vegetable market. Judging from the situation, I will definitely have to sell some goods.

However, there was a very small amount of fish in one of the nets, and it was dropped too close to the shore. It must have been touched by someone in the middle of the night, so he ignored it for the time being.

"There are still a lot of mudfish, Dad. What's the price of mudfish and ground tigers now? I have a lot of them here." It's also fun to collect shrimp cages. There are always some surprises when you throw a net.

The mudfish is similar to the ground tiger, but much larger, also known as the sand snakehead.

"They are all the same, about forty or fifty yuan. You can go to the town later and ask your fifth uncle, he will arrange it." Qin's father poured out another net of goods, and there were indeed quite a few ground tigers in it.

"If there's less, we can eat it ourselves. The meat is very tender."

"Okay, hey, leave some river shrimps for roasting, it will be a top-notch mixed fish pot." Of course, this was just a joke. If they really ate like this, Qin's mother would get the father and son kicked out. The cost is forty or fifty yuan, and any rural person who eats it will feel distressed.

Because the heavy rain was still falling and the north wind was blowing, the father and son began to speed up.

It takes half an hour to put out twenty nets and about ten minutes to collect them.

When the two of them gathered together, they looked at each other's buckets and were both quite satisfied.

I caught two big eels, which can be sold for about a hundred yuan together. But there are no crabs, which is a pity.

The entrance to the shrimp cage is too small and the crabs can't crawl in at all.

"Dad, someone stole my net."

"Two nets were stolen from me too. It's okay. Those thieves were searching along the river with sticks. It was raining so hard. They deserve to be paid." Qin's father said helplessly.

Although he said that, if he was caught, he would still have to beat him up. Ce Na, at least half a pound of shrimps were lost.

The two didn't talk much about this matter. Who hasn't had their fish stolen from them after years of fishing? Then they put down the catch, and Qin Dahe began to help the old man set up the fishing platform.

It's raining so hard that I have to go fishing. If I don't catch dozens of kilograms of fish at night, I will definitely be scolded.

Moreover, if the old guy is left to do it alone, he will easily get sick if he takes too long, so I have to speed up.

First, he drove eight wooden stakes into the water, then laid out the planks and nailed them down. According to rural customs, this fishing spot, like the water jump, would now belong exclusively to his family. Others could use it, but when his family arrived, they had to give way because his house was just across the street.

In no time, the fishing platform was set up. I then borrowed a parasol from the supermarket and put it up, and a fishing spot for a rainy day was ready.

Then the father and son hurried home to wash themselves with hot water. Qin Dahe changed his clothes as quickly as possible and went to drive the tricycle.

It's already half past seven. If you hurry up, you can still pick up some people on the way.

After packing my things, I just brought a small oxygen pump with me today. It doesn’t take up much space, and there weren’t many people at the entrance of Liming Supermarket.

After waiting for ten minutes for a customer to come, he was too lazy to waste time and decided not to kill the shrimps.

When he started the car again, he saw a pretty figure in a raincoat walking up with difficulty.

No matter how guilty you feel, you have to get off the bus now.

"Yan Yan, get on my car." Without waiting for anyone to refuse, he directly pulled the person onto the tricycle. The beautiful girl glared at him hatefully and had no choice but to get on the car.

When she wanted to give the money, Qin Dahe had already gone to the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the town.

There are indeed fewer people going out on the streets today. He is a little worried that he won't be able to sell them. These river shrimps are so expensive, is there anyone who wants them?

Passing by the grain station, he stopped the car and waited for Yanyan to get off.

"Go to work, and we'll come out to play together later." Sitting in the driver's seat, Qin Dahe wiped the rain off his body in a messy manner.

"it is good."

He was relieved when he saw that the other party was finally willing to speak. It was just a whistle, why was he so angry?

He didn't know yet that he and his parents had been caught twice for secretly picking on the crickets.

Yanyan felt a little complicated at this time. Although her brother had a bad mouth, he also liked to take care of others like this when he was a child.

At that time, her father was a foreigner and had no familiar relatives in the village. No one wanted to play with her, so Qin Dahe always took people to find her to go out and play.

Hanwaer was in almost the same situation, so both of them were very grateful to him.

Staring at the tricycle going away, she was still a little conflicted. Should she listen to her parents' arrangements?

At this time, Qin Dahe began to slowly recall some things from his childhood on the tricycle. For him, these were things that happened more than 30 years ago, and he would have to meet someone to remember them.

I smiled slightly in my heart. This girl seemed to be very good when she was young. She was well-behaved and would help open the door every time I went to the carpenter's house to get something.

To these children, carpenter's tools are all magical tools. Whether it is a straight stick or an ink line, they can play with it for a long time.

When we arrived in town, we put down the four people we brought with us on the road and went straight in to find Wu Ye.

"Dahe, did you catch a lot of river shrimps?" Uncle Wu knew as soon as he saw him carrying the bucket. Every time it rained heavily, his elder brother could always catch two or three pounds.

"Well, today I caught over five pounds of river shrimp, a lot of ground tigers and mudfish, and two white eels."

"Okay, let's go to the back to exchange the goods. These things are not marketable in town." Business on Wu Ye's side is a bit bleak. It's eight o'clock, and there are still a lot of fish left.

"Exchange goods?"

"Yes, these good goods are collected by people from the city every morning. Otherwise, how many people in our town can afford them?"

"Oh, I'll go check it out."
