Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 72 Fishing in the Grass Nest
Hanwaer and he started to lower the large trap in the direction of Longwangguai. Before lowering the net, they threw two bags of bait into it. This kind of large trap needs to be thrown farther. Hanwaer is strong and is more suitable for it than the other three.

The shrimp cage over there was also being lowered into the water quickly. This time, there was no need to consider the issue of concealment because people were right next to it.

The concealment of the shrimp cage mainly depends on the hiding of the line. People cannot easily search for the line with a stick, otherwise they can open the shrimp cage along the line.

They were fishing nearby, and no shameless person would dare to steal the net under their noses.

When the sky was slightly bright, Qin Dahe estimated that it was six o'clock, and then drove home.

After entering the house, I first told the old man that Hanwaer wanted to sell the silver carp, and then asked my mother to pack some food.

We all got up early today, so we must not have eaten. It’s impossible to go fishing in the morning if we’re hungry.

He brought a big pot of white porridge and some pickles, and after thinking for a while, he took out three bags of red plums.

"Let me take you to a fishing spot first. It's so far away that the porridge will be cold by the time you get there."

"Aren't you going to run a car this morning?"

"Are you stupid? You still have to sell fish today. It's just one round trip. It won't cause any trouble if you're ten minutes late." Qin's father said unhappily.

Qin Dahe patted his head and thought that people would be confused if they got up too early.

When they arrived at the fishing spot, Father Qin looked at the four little ones enthusiastically preparing to eat porridge and felt quite envious.

He also had a group of brothers when he was young, but now that they have all started their own families, they rarely hang out together. At most, he would eat fried noodles and drink some wine with Lao Wu and the others.

"Come on, today is a great day." They replaced wine with porridge, clinked bowls together, and ate with pickles.

Because we had a long journey today, I didn’t bring the puppy from home, but I brought a young greyhound from Erhu’s family.

This was his father's special instruction: when fishing outside, he had to bring a dog with him so that he could immediately detect when a stranger approached.

After they finished eating, Qin Dahe poured the remaining porridge into the basin of bait and let Gouzi eat it by himself.

"Your bull is so strong." Qin Dahe said enviously.

This dog probably weighs about 40 or 50 kilograms, and its fur is shiny and greasy. You can tell at a glance that it eats well.

"Hehe, I used all my leftover food to feed it, how could it not be fat?" Erhu smiled, obviously very proud.

"Your father doesn't scold you?"

"Of course I would scold him, but my father hasn't scolded him since the dog saved me last month." Erhu told the story.

It turned out that when the three of them went to Yuxi River to swim in September, they had leg cramps. Tiedan and Hanwaer didn't notice it at the time. The dog was playing on the road at the time. When he saw Erhu was in danger, he rolled and crawled down the road.

It was not until Gouzi rushed into the water and ran towards Erhu that Hanwaer and Tiedan noticed that something was wrong with him and hurried to rescue him.

"Good dog, I can train it to catch fish in the future." Qin Dahe touched it lightly, and the dog moved uncomfortably, but did not protect the food.

These friends have been playing together since they were young, so they are naturally familiar with the dog at home.

After dinner, I started to rest for a while. It was only a little after six o'clock, so there was no need to rush to get an early breakfast in autumn.

"Smoke, smoke, kid, have one too." Qin Dahe took out cigarettes and started to share them with the kid. The kid couldn't refuse, so he lit one for him.

It's a good thing for a man not to smoke or drink, but the prerequisite is that he lives a good life. If the child's life is already terrible, it would be better to smoke a six-cent cigarette to feel comfortable.

The four of them puffed smoke together and talked about their childhood, some of them laughing as they told funny stories.

"Back then, Yanyan followed you around and called you 'Brother' every day, and now she's thinking about you again. You're really not a human being."

"That's right, and yet he keeps saying he doesn't like you and despises you!"

"Brother, Yanyan is...good." The silly girl stammered out her true feelings. She felt that Yanyan was very suitable for her elder brother.

"Okay, I know what's going on." Qin Dahe stomped out his cigarette in frustration and began to adjust his fishing spot. Seeing this, the others followed suit. This time, they were fishing at two spots, each in pairs.

Qin Dahe was afraid that the two were not familiar with platform fishing, so he separated from Hanwaer. After all, Hanwaer had barely understood platform fishing in the past two days.

The next step is to make a nest. This time, put a small amount of corn in the nest, and then replenish it after a period of time. The bait for the nest should be put in after fishing at night, otherwise the nest will die.

The four of them tied the lines, using a 7+5 line set. After hanging the bait, they started casting. This time they used a five- to six-meter bamboo rod, as a seven-meter and two-meter glass rod was too heavy.

Use grasshoppers and corn in the same nest at the same time. If it doesn’t work, change to malt to test whether the fish will bite first.

The silly kid took the bait as soon as he went down and caught a fish. The fish were biting so vigorously at seven o'clock. It turned out to be the right thing to do to keep a nest.

"Baby, are you hanging a grasshopper?"

"Yeah." The kid took two or three minutes to do it easily, then started copying directly.

A grass carp weighing more than seven kilograms cannot be compared with silver carp and bighead carp except for the first fierce bite.

"Oh, that's so cool." Erhu was quite envious, staring at the thing he had just stood up.

"Hit the next two points immediately, don't hit lightly." Qin Dahe warned, saying that hitting blindly would waste time.

Erhu nodded and stared intently.

Five minutes later, Tiedan caught another bream, a little one and a half kilograms.

"Are there more fish over there?"

"Don't worry, we have fish here too, right away."

Ten minutes later, Silly Boy caught another grass carp.

Erhu: “.”

Qin Dahe silently replaced another grasshopper and finally connected.

As soon as he went down, he was hooked and it was a big black float, which made him almost think he was dazzled.

"Ce, it's finally here." It took half an hour to give a bite, so slow.

Grass carp is not like silver carp and bighead carp, which come ashore in one or two minutes. The individuals here seem to be small. Qin Dahe's one weighs just over five kilograms.

Then there was another half hour of silence, the kind of silence that lasted for all four of them. Qin Dahe picked up a cigarette and started smoking in circles.

Just as he was waiting to light his cigarette, the fishing rod suddenly moved. He hurriedly pulled the rod and didn't care that the lighter fell into the water.

"Oh my god, it's really fucking like taking a puff of cigarette and then going to the toilet." The hanging pole flew out.

Five minutes later, he pulled the fish up with great effort. It was a grass carp weighing more than ten pounds.

"Kid, herrings also eat grasshoppers?"

The silly kid shook his head in confusion. This was his first time fishing with grasshoppers, and he had only caught grass carp so far.

"Go on, go on." Qin Dahe put the bait again. This grasshopper is really useful.

Erhu added some corn bait and started changing the bait. He used up the corn for the whole morning, and Tiedan also caught a black carp and a bream.

This time he hung malt and tied it with a small rubber band. After entering the water, he moved the rod every thirty meters.

　My brothers are awesome. They made it to the top 50 of the new book list in just two days, and I get three to four hundred recommendation votes a day.
