Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 65: Underground Trap

"Mom, steam the crabs tonight so I can finally have meat." When he got home, the first thing he did was to find his mother.

"Get lost! I bought you some braised duck a couple of days ago. You're acting like I'm mistreating you." After taking the crab, the old lady spoke again, "Is this a gift from your Fifth Master? Did you come to buy something?"

"I bought them, including cigarettes and alcohol. I gave six of the intact ones to the old carpenter, and the rest are not in good condition." This must be said.

Otherwise, the couple would misunderstand that the Fifth Master would only send some leftover crabs, which would be embarrassing.

"Oh, didn't you say you wouldn't marry Yanyan? Why are you going to her house again? You just rushed all the way to the village. Are you sending Yanyan home from work?" When the tricycle passed by just now, she took a look and knew it was her own car.

But I was in the kitchen at the time and could only vaguely see someone in the car.

Qin Dahe did not continue the topic. It was very annoying to talk about this over and over again.

"How's Dad doing?"

"The old man acts like he's worth two and a half million. He caught a few fish and asked me to bring him a kettle of boiling water." When the rain stopped in the afternoon, she went over to take a look and was then ordered around.

Although my mother looked disgusted, I could tell from the tone of her voice that she still cared about her man.

"I'll go take a look and help put the things away."

"Well, it's just right that I come back for dinner." I waved my hand to signal him to get lost. I was annoyed just by seeing him.

It’s just cooking vegetarian food for a day, and everyone is complaining about it. Who eats meat every day? How can they live like that?

When Qin Dahe arrived at Qin's father's side, he saw him catching fish and quickly picked up the scoop net.

"Dad, how was your afternoon?"

"He gave me a few more bites and caught three grass carps. Including this one, there are four now." Qin's father said with satisfaction.

Unless you are fishing for big fish such as silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, carp and black carp, it is normal to give one or two bites a day or even no bite. Today is considered a big catch.

This is also the reason why many people find their fishing rods easily pulled into the water when fishing for big fish in the wild.

Can you keep an eye on the whole process of one bite a day? In the time it takes to play with your phone and light a cigarette, the fishing rod is pulled into the water.

The old man was not only playing with the fish, but also pretending to be cool by lighting a cigarette, which left him speechless.

"What the hell, a big red carp." Qin Dahe widened his eyes.

A red figure flashed by, but the father and son were both experienced fishermen, so they naturally knew what kind of fish it was at a glance.

"I'm lucky, hehe. Today I caught a black carp and a big red carp. That's enough." Qin's father happily began to reduce his strength.

There are very few big red carp in the wild because their color is too conspicuous, which easily attracts predatory fish and makes them difficult to grow.

As long as people know about this big red carp today, someone will definitely come to buy it tonight, and it will definitely not last overnight.

Grass carp costs three or four yuan per catty. Five grass carps weigh about thirty catties, which is about a hundred yuan. Black carp and big red carp are definitely worth the price.

"You clean up. I've been freezing all day and need to go home to relax." With that, the old man ran away with a cigarette in his mouth, not even caring about the fish guards.

Qin Dahe: “.”

Damn, I’ve been busy all day and still have to pack so many things?
There were about forty to fifty kilograms of fish in the fish basket, and it would take him half a day to do it all by himself, including the other things.

I started working in a depressed mood. After all, he was my son. Damn it.

After a while, my mother came over cursing.

"The old man raised him, and he only knows how to bully his own son."

Seeing how harshly my mother scolded me, he finally felt better. The old man was really bad at doing his job.

After packing up his things, Qin Dahe asked his mother to send the fishing gear home first, and he dragged the fish to the crucian carp pond behind.

As for the fishing platform, I won't tear it down. It's a good place to come and play with it when I have time. Uncle Wu said the crucian carp pond was ready for stocking, so he moved the two fish guards at the door to his own small pond.

I also poured in the crucian carp seeds and took notes. There were 45 crucian carps, but unfortunately many of them died.

The remaining small silver carp, bighead carp and eight kilograms of black carp were put in, as they are all necessary auxiliary fish.

He was too lazy to feed such a small amount of fish, so he could just feed them all together later. Fish can stay hungry for a long time anyway.

While eating, he looked at his father with an unhappy face. How could he do things like that?

"Old Five said we can release the fish now, right?" The old man ignored him. Isn't it natural for a son to help his father with work?

"Well, let's go set up some traps tonight and get some crucian carp seeds."

"Go by yourself. I'm exhausted from fishing all day."

"You old man, have you got any shame? I'm telling you, if you keep showing off, get the hell out of here. You're showing off again after catching a few fish. How can you be so shameless as to betray your son?"

The mother slammed the table heavily. The old man was really dishonest today and she couldn't stand it anymore.

"My arms hurt from fishing for silver carp and bighead carp the other day, so I was just waiting for a bite today." The old man explained awkwardly.

"You should have told me earlier that your arm hurts. You're making your son resentful. What will you do when he's old and no one takes care of him?" Qin's mother glared at him.

It's a shame to save face. Besides, your arm hurts, but you still go fishing today. It would be much better to rest at home on a rainy day.

Qin Dahe was also helpless. When he was collecting the shrimp cages this morning, the old man was a little slow, and he thought he was tired.

"Then I'll go down by myself later."

"Well, after dinner, let's go to Dr. Li and get some painkillers and tiger plasters." I know that old men care about their reputation, but I don't know how painful it is.

Dr. Li’s clinic is just below the big slope between his home and Limin Supermarket. Last time I went fishing for snakehead fish, I caught two behind the clinic.

After dinner, Qin Dahe went to the clinic to get medicine. After returning home, he did not rush to log off the Internet, but went to gather all his friends.

“How many small ground cages do you have at home?”

"Five items."

"Seven."

"nineteen."

The three of them looked at the silly kid in shock. Who has so many traps?
Nineteen traps and lead sinkers weigh fifty or sixty kilograms, and I couldn't take them all out even after casting the net.

Moreover, there are many people around who are impatient and it is easy for so much money to be stolen.

"I did it myself." The silly kid was a little nervous seeing that everyone was staring at him.

"Help me get some traps to catch crucian carp and melon seeds tonight. Put them all in my house and my second uncle's place. Put them all in along the edge. I'll give you all the rest except the crucian carp and melon seeds."

He has only three small traps at home, but six or seven large traps, but it is difficult to find a suitable place to set them.

Qin's father would go to Yuxi River to fish secretly in the winter, and if he was lucky he would catch some fish and crabs.

Forget about catching river shrimps and white eels, as the mesh of the large trap is relatively large, so they will just slip through and escape.

The other three had no objection. Brothers should help each other when they are together.

The three of them went to Hanwaer's house and took all the traps. He had put five of them in the water in the past few days, and they took the remaining fourteen.

Together with the fifteen traps here, there are a total of twenty-nine, which is a big deal.
