Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 69 Investigating the Enemy
"The big river prawns are about one and a half pounds, and there are quite a few ground tigers. Why don't we sell them?" Erhu wanted to get some money to put in his pocket. He was really poor.

A pound and a half of large river shrimps and a half pound of finger-long ground tigers can be sold for eighty or ninety yuan, and they can make twenty or thirty yuan from every cent.

Small creatures like the ground tiger can only be sold when they are one finger long. If they are too small, they are just trash fish.

There were also a lot of unpalatable fish like minnows, which were all thrown away by them.

"Okay, give them all to me. I'll have my dad sell them together tomorrow."

Even if the old man is not very successful today, he can still catch a few big fish. Together with the remaining grass carp in the net cage, it is enough for him to sell them all.

"I won't share this money. There are a lot of crucian carp and melon seeds today, hey!" The transfer box was filled with crucian carp and melon seeds.

There isn't much else in Waihe, but there are too many crucian carp seeds and whitebait to catch.

After packing up, it’s almost time to go back for dinner.

He poured the crucian carp seeds directly into the crucian carp pond. There were now 160 crucian carp in the pond, and he kept track of them in a notebook.

"Mom, can you cook a pot of mixed fish for lunch? Add lard and chili."

"Okay, okay, I won't lack your money." Why is this poor son still greedy after coming back?

Qin Dahe chuckled, put the miscellaneous fish away, and went to check on his dad.

When I got down there, I found another fisherman nearby. I guess I noticed him pulling up a fish yesterday.

"Dad, how are you today?" He took out the few Red Double Happiness cigarettes he had and lit one for the old man.

"I had a bad breath this morning, so I got a bream." He glanced at the cigarette in surprise and asked, "Are you smoking Double Happiness?"

"I bought this for you because your hand hurts." He handed over the remaining cigarette awkwardly.

I just smoked a few cigarettes and said,

But now is definitely not the time to draw Double Happiness lottery tickets, and he regretted it after buying it.

Of course, next time my mouth feels numb, I will still have to buy Double Happiness.

"Don't waste your money, it's easy for me to make some money."

Qin Dahe curled his lips and shouldn't have come to see him.

"Would you like to fish for a while?"

"No, this nest was not replenished yesterday, so it is probably out of fish. It's okay, you can go back too."

"Bullshit, if my arms weren't sore from fishing for dead fish, I would have caught several of them." Qin's father said indignantly.

It seemed as if as long as his arm was healed, he would definitely be able to protect the place.

But when it comes to wild fishing, if you want to catch big fish, it is normal to come up empty-handed, unless you raise grass nests like Qin Dahe or go directly for loaches.

"Dad, if you really want to catch big fish, spend two dollars and ask the kids to dig a few pounds of earthworms for you, cut them into pieces and throw one or two pounds of earthworms in. I guess you can catch a lot of fish." Qin Dahe came up with a special idea.

This method is the earthworm pulling method, which is banned in most black pits in later generations, that is, making nests with earthworm segments.

Many people go to Pinduoduo to buy a few pounds of earthworms, then crush them and use them as bait. In this autumn when the fish are gaining weight, the fishy smell is even stronger than stimulants.

However, you can only catch some worthless fish, such as crucian carp, grass carp, bream, yellow croaker, and catfish.

"Then help me with it and try it tomorrow."

"I'm busy. I have to go and take care of the nest in the afternoon." He was still depressed when he said this.

I don't let him use the flour grinder to grind earthworms, otherwise it would be great to make some fishy bait to catch big crucian carp when he has nothing to do.

There is definitely some success in fishing traditionally near fallen trees.

"How about you help me get some more silver carp and bighead carp bait so I can go fish for them," Qin's father suggested. "No, Mom said you have to sell fish tomorrow and then go to work in the fields."

"Go away, go away. I'm annoyed when I see you." Qin's father waved his hands, completely forgetting that the red double happiness on his lips was a gift from his son.

Qin Dahe felt sorry for the old man. If he continued to swing the glass pole for another day, his arms would be broken.

It's a two-jin fishing rod, not the kind of carbon fiber one that weighs two or three hundred grams. If silver carp and bighead carp bite frequently, you have to use it hundreds of times a day.

When he got home, the meal was ready. Qin Dahe's eyes lit up when he smelled the pot of mixed fish.

It tastes great if you pair it with rice and a little wine.

"Mom, you're such a good cook."

"I don't know how many times I've cooked this mixed fish. Your dad loves to eat it." As she said that, she took out a lunch box, put some mixed fish and soup in it and put it on the rice.

"How's your dad doing?"

"Not very good. His method of catching dead fish is a stupid one. It's not easy for big fish to catch dead fish." Qin Dahe said regretfully.

I caught several big fish yesterday. The bait must be pretty good. It’s a pity that I didn’t replenish it.

When fishing with grasshoppers or earthworms, you can put some melon vines and mulberry fruits in the water to nourish the nest, and you can continue fishing.

"By the way, what do you think about Yanyan? Talk to me."

Qin Dahe: “.”

Now, when it comes to marrying an ordinary peasant woman, he is a little reluctant. Yanyan is indeed pretty and has a nice figure.

But when he thought about his marriage in his previous life, he felt that he was being a jerk. What should he do about all the troubles that would come after marriage?
"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as your consent. I'll contact the old carp later. I haven't sold the red carp from last night yet. It would be very prestigious to raise them for a few months and give them as a gift."

Last night, two groups of people came to buy red carp, but she rejected them both because she thought about how rare this thing is and her son was getting married.

"I'll ask Dad to sell the carp tomorrow. Even if he does, it's too early." He hesitated again.

"Let's put the marriage on hold. I'm going to investigate the enemy situation."

"Get lost, you have so much trouble every day." I scolded her with a smile. She even investigated the enemy situation. Is getting married so scary?
She and Lao Qin have been married for so many years, and although they often quarrel, they live a good life. Young people just need to be disciplined.

Qin's mother was very satisfied with Yanyan. She was well educated, good-looking, and had been playing with her son since childhood.

The most important thing is that although her mother's family is nearby, she is from Jiangxi and has to rely on her son's support in her old age. The couple will definitely not have a bad life in the future.

Thinking of this, she happily picked up her lunch box and went out, ready to discuss it with the old man.

Qin Dahe felt a little depressed when he thought about getting married. It would have been better if he hadn't seen Yanyan. It would have been hard to bear to let go of such a beautiful girl.

However, when he smelled the aroma of the mixed fish pot, he cheered up and started eating. It smelled so good.

In the afternoon, when I was about to pick up Erhu to continue tending the nest, the silly kid came with a bag of fertilizer.

"Brother, here you go." The silly kid handed over the things with a smile, and something was still twisting in the bag.

"What is it?" Qin Dahe took the bag curiously, opened it and took a look, his eyes immediately filled with surprise.

A black dog and two kittens.

When I took it out, I saw that the black dog was a pure black local dog, even its tongue was black. This kind of puppy would cost forty or fifty yuan in the countryside.

Don’t say that cats and dog puppies in rural areas are worthless, but people still know what they are worth and will definitely be willing to pay a high price for a good dog.

The two cats are average, one is an orange cat and the other is a tabby cat, but the tabby cat is a bit fierce.
