Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 71 Two Silver Carp
In the evening, the old man who caught a bream and a grass carp came back feeling a little lost.

"Dad, I caught a lot of river shrimp and ground tigers this morning. Please help me sell them tomorrow and give the three of us a share of the money."

"I know, I know. Did you throw the herring into the pond?"

"Well, Master Wu said he wanted to raise two black carp to eat snails, but he won't release the grass carp until the water plants start to swell."

The water in the river comes from a large lake. Even if it is filtered, there are still snail eggs. According to the frequency of fertilizing the crucian carp pond, they grow very fast.

The old man ate his meal and ignored his son.

After finishing his meal, the old man noticed that there were three more little creatures behind him.

"If you keep raising cats and playing with dogs all day, you won't be able to make money steadily." As he said this, he picked up the black bear and played with it.

"This dog is nice. How much did you buy it for?"

"I didn't buy it. My grandmother asked me to bring it to you this afternoon. And the two cats too."

The old man nodded immediately after hearing this: "Let the child come to our house for dinner later."

He definitely knew what his grandmother meant, but the silly boy was an honest man and regarded his own child as his elder brother, so he just took care of him.

After dinner, Qin Dahe started packing up. He had to bring a lot of things with him to go fishing tomorrow.

The nets had already formed a thick layer under the tricycle. He carefully placed the fishing rods, scoop nets and other things aside, as well as the shovel and bait.

Every time he went fishing, he would bring big and small bags, and each fishing group would be packed in a separate big bag.

Qin's father watched him busying around with great envy. This guy is really good at fishing. He has caught so many fish in such a short time since he came back.

After putting the things away, he began to make bait for the shrimp cages and ground cages.

Use scissors to cut the earthworms into pieces with soil, add the chicken skeletons that you bought for ten dollars, and then wrap them into small packages with nylon net and put them in plastic bags.

Generally, when placing ground traps and shrimp cages, you won’t get much if you don’t put in bait, as these things will need to be used tomorrow morning.

Seeing that it was still early, he went to his room and lay down to listen to the radio.

Today's radios can only receive a limited number of channels, but they are enough for listening to music.

I listened to old songs leisurely and slowly fell asleep.

On the other side, the couple were also discussing their children in the room.

"It's time to find him a wife. It's not a good idea to keep cats and dogs around every day." The old man was a little worried.

Although his son has been very active in making money since he came back and behaved like other young people, he vaguely sensed some dullness in his marriage.

They can face the discussion of marriage calmly and have no expectations for married life. It is just the same as the idea of their older generation, that as long as life is simple and ordinary, it is enough.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. The little guy is just longing for a woman and an independent life, instead of fishing and catching shrimps, raising cats and playing with dogs every day. Sitting down to fish is more stable than him.

"I asked again today. Abao should have no problem with Yanyan. As long as his mind remains unchanged, I will go to the old carpenter's house again."

Although someone has proposed marriage to the old carpenter, he will definitely not be promised off in the short term.

They all knew that the old carpenter was interested in young people of marriageable age living around the village, the closer to his home the better.

"Well, but you have to stay away from Yanyan. She has a bit of a bad temper. She might have some complaints if she heard our conversation last time." Mother Qin was also quite embarrassed when she heard this. They really bumped into each other.

"Should we give him some more money? I heard he's starting to send people to work. Dating costs money these days."

"No need. This little guy wants to buy things when he has money. He bought me half a pack of Double Happiness this morning. I can't bear to smoke it."

"He is young, and his throat has been damaged by smoking Hongmei cigarettes every day. I really don't know where he got such a strong addiction to smoking." Qin's mother said with a frown.

Qin Dahe is only twenty years old now, and he smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. This is unacceptable.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give him the money to smoke, but what if his smoking addiction gets worse in the future?
"Who knows? He really shouldn't have gone to that crappy school." Qin's father said bitterly. If he had known his son was so outstanding, he would have let him return home long ago.

"Didn't you tell him to read more? Now you're arguing again."

A little after four the next morning, Qin Dahe was just about to start his tricycle in the dark when he saw a dark shadow beside him, which scared him.

"Brother, it's me." The silly kid's voice sounded.

"I was so scared. I thought it was someone else. Why did he come so early?" He picked up a cigarette. The silly kid must have something wrong if he came so early.

"I caught two silver carp yesterday and asked grandpa to help me sell them." The silly kid pointed to the big transport box on the ground.

Qin Dahe shone a flashlight and saw that one weighed over 20 kilograms and the other weighed about 15 kilograms. They were not small.

"Moved here alone?"

"Well, I'm afraid of delay." The kid said with a simple smile.

Awesome! The fish and water weigh almost a hundred pounds, and he carried it all the way up and down the hills. I'll just wait for his tricycle to come over and then help transport it. What a fool.

"What's going on? Are silver carp and bighead carp biting well now?" He asked curiously. In his previous life, it was very difficult to catch silver carp and bighead carp at this temperature. It was usually best to fish in summer.

"No, three bites in the afternoon!" The silly kid made an OK gesture with difficulty.

Qin Dahe nodded slightly. He thought that no one except the kid could catch two big silver carp from these three mouths.

But what he didn't know was that the silly kid used a pound of flour and then used his bait to fish until after eight o'clock, which means he fished for seven or eight hours.

Normally, one pound of silver carp and bighead carp bait is no longer enough.

But Hanwa is also smart. He added some nylon lines on the edge of the spring to slow down the atomization, which gives him more chances. It's just that it's too laborious. If a normal person doesn't get a bite by watching the float all the time, he would have left long ago.

"Move to the main room of my house. I'll tell my dad when I bring the car back." Just as Hanwaer came, he didn't waste any time and drove directly to pick up Erhu and Tiedan.

The four of them stopped at the first fishing spot together, and Qin Dahe began to check the fish nest with a flashlight.

I put a lot of broken bubbles in the nest I made yesterday evening. As long as there are fish eating the bubbles, they will float up.

The main thing to observe when observing a fish nest is how much foam is rising. If there is a lot of foam, it means there are many fish patrolling. You can catch them first, and if there is no bite, change to another one and continue.

The first nest floated up a lot, but Qin Dahe did not determine this point. He observed the last grass nest and immediately determined the location.

"Move the things down quickly, and try to get the nets down before daybreak."

As they spoke, the four of them quickly moved their things downstairs. It was almost five o'clock now, and daybreak would be in an hour at most. It would be a bit conspicuous to put down so many nets by then.
