Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 75 A gratifying harvest
The fish's head was slightly exposed in the middle, and several people knew it was a big grass carp weighing more than ten pounds.

They also started to pack up their fishing gear. There were too many things today and the tricycle couldn't carry them all at once, so they had to send it over first.

But while packing up, everyone was paying attention to the silly kid playing with the fish.

"Dahe, we made a lot of money today, at least more than 100 kilograms of grass carp, and quite a few black carp and bream." Erhu said happily.

"The big head hasn't started yet." Qin Dahe smiled faintly.

Grass carp and bream are cheap, while large ground traps and shrimp traps are the big ones.

However, he had to transport the fish and fishing gear back first, and then transport the nets and the goods inside, otherwise there would be no space.

Brother Yong was reluctant to leave at this time. He wanted to see how much more goods they could get on their network. Qin Dahe let him do it since they still had to eat in the evening.

The big grass carp also came up on Hanwaer's side, and everyone started to lift the fish.

Four people caught more than 100 kilograms of grass carp and other black carp in a day, which could be sold for 600 to 700 yuan. They also took the trouble to travel so far and raise the bait for several days. It can't be said that they made a lot of money, but they were lucky.

But with so many networks, things are different. The four of us can definitely make a little over a thousand yuan today.

Qin Dahe went to deliver some things back first. My mother was happy to see the fish and helped carry them down.

"Abao is really capable now, he caught so many big fish." The elder sister was so happy to see that he could make money.

"Hey, this mandarin fish is my brother-in-law's first catch. You take it back, sister."

"That must be 70 or 80 yuan. He went with you and took such a valuable fish." The elder sister shook her head: "Besides, Binbin just had mandarin fish today. You should bring me a grass carp."

"That's fine." He cranked the car again with great effort: "Mom, leave a grass carp for me. I'm going to continue hauling things."

"Go ahead, I'll do it."

After fishing, you need to wash the fish basket and scoop net, and wipe the fishing rod clean, and then you have to wait for the shrimp traps to come back.

With excitement, he went back again.

I saw four people shouting and yelling from a distance, I guess they had a good harvest.

"How many shrimps?" he asked impatiently. At this time, all the nets were put up, and they didn't care that there were people pointing and talking on the county road.

"There aren't many river shrimps, only two pounds." Erhu smiled mysteriously: "But there are more than a dozen crabs. I caught them in the big trap."

Crabs are now priced at a sky-high price, more valuable than eels.

They quickly poured the goods in the barrel into the transfer box, otherwise they would be crushed to death after a long time.

We caught three more white eels from the shrimp cage, and there were also quite a few small fish in the large cage.

There are small grass carp, bream, and even two big-mouthed river catfish and a white river grouper. Although they are not big, they are all valuable.

"Now I can enjoy the small fish pot to my heart's content, hey." The small fish in the pot are all very beautiful and rarer than those caught from other rivers.

"Big fish tastes better. How about we each take some good fish back to eat meat?" Tiedan said with drool.

He had eaten catfish once, and the skin and meat were very soft and glutinous. Now he wants to share it whenever he sees it.

"Okay, I want Jiangtuan." Qin Dahe spoke first. The meat of Jiangtuan is pink and tender, and it tastes very good when cooked.

"Ce, you are so smart, so I'll take two white eels."

Everyone gets some good stuff and puts it aside.

The fool was reluctant to eat it, so Qin Dahe offered to convert it into two female crabs and share an extra fifty yuan later, and no one objected. The value of their goods was roughly in the same range, with the catfish being cheaper. After all, the largest catfish in the trap only weighed four pounds, so it wasn't expensive right now.

Several people began to lift the net and goods with great effort. Even my brother-in-law's face turned red with excitement. My brother-in-law really knows how to have fun.

On the way back, I had to continue raising four nests, and as usual, I added crushed foam into the nesting materials.
When they delivered the things home, there were several people standing at the door watching.

The first wave of fish catches was already amazing, with each person catching at least 30 to 40 kilograms of fish on average.

"Dahe, you're amazing. You're an expert at fishing." Uncle Liu looked at him eagerly, hoping he could give him some useful advice.

"Hanwaer caught nearly 100 kilograms of grass carp by himself. He is so amazing." The main force in grass carp fishing today was Hanwaer. He was so steady that he could continue fishing even if there was no bite after sitting there for two hours. Finally, he caught a big grass carp.

When the others heard this, they looked at the silly kid in surprise. They didn't expect that someone who usually stuttered when speaking could be so good at fishing.

"Hey, Yun Yun Yun" The silly kid wanted to speak but couldn't, and was very anxious.

"Lucky, we know. Dahe, where did you do this?"

"That's where the Dragon King got his nest." Qin Dahe said without hiding anything.

No one in the village is so idle as to go so far to fish. It takes Uncle Liu an hour to ride his bike there and back. He will definitely be scolded to death.

Now that the weather is good, everyone has farm work to do in their fields. They are about to turn the soil over and prepare to plant rapeseed flowers.

No one said anything about prohibiting fishing in this section of the river. Although large nets were not allowed, there were many people using small nets.

It was already dark at this time, so the other three went back to eat first. Qin Dahe happily put the Jiangtuan in the fish basket in the crucian carp pond and asked his mother to cook it after he was done with the work in a few days.

"You're the only one who knows how to eat. This one costs forty or fifty yuan." I felt a little distressed. What a wasteful thing.

"It's just a river grouper. We can get more later."

This river fish is a small one, weighing about 1.7 to 1.8 ounces, otherwise it would not be able to fit into the large trap.

"Dad, you help sell fish tomorrow."

"Are you going to divide the money equally this time?" the old man asked with a frown, busying himself around his family.

"If we split it in half, it'll probably be around 1,300 or 1,400. Let's forget about it this time. We won't be able to get off the internet tomorrow." Qin Dahe said indifferently.

We cast so many nets today, it made a lot of noise. If we do it again tomorrow, someone will definitely come to clean up the nets.

People usually steal these things secretly, especially the big traps, which are very conspicuous.

"If you change your fishing spot tomorrow, bring your shrimp cage with you. You can make a little extra money."

Qin's father didn't dwell on the money. If his son had his own ideas, he let him do it. He would deduct the money for the missed trip anyway. Oh, and the four little guys still had to treat him to breakfast. Hey! Tomorrow morning, he and Lao Wu and the others would have beef fried noodles.

Qin Dahe nodded when he heard it. He would take it with him when the time comes and decide whether to go down or not depending on the situation. It would be a huge profit if he could make a move.

Today's dozen or so big crabs are almost five kilograms, worth at least three or four hundred yuan, and there are other catches as well.

Those small crabs don’t count. They will come over later and divide them up as miscellaneous fish.

Tomorrow's mixed fish pot will contain small crabs, ground tigers, wheat ears, whitebait, and onion. Add some river shrimps and stew them together. It will be perfect.

But he first picked up a few ears of wheat and threw them to Feifei and Sangbiao. These two cats had been circling around him because they smelled the fishy smell.
