Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 82 Clam

That morning, the four brothers cast their fishing rods with full confidence again.

The most relaxing moment for anglers is when everything is ready, they cast their rods and light a cigarette, and their anticipation is at its peak.

"The fish should be biting better this morning." Qin Dahe said confidently because the wind was blowing.

The wind blew, the dissolved oxygen content in the water increased, and the fish became more active.

"Of course, my float has started to move." Erhu said, holding a cigarette.

The combination has changed again today, Qin Dahe and Hanwaer are together, those two are together.

A minute later, Erhu was a little confused as he watched the float slowly move downwards.

"Hit it, if you don't know what it is, stab it first." Tiedan was a little anxious watching from the side.

"Swish!" "Hey, it's a bit heavy."

Erhu said excitedly, then began to wonder: "Why not struggle?"

Looking at the clams being pulled up, several people immediately burst into laughter and coughed repeatedly due to being choked by the cigarettes.

"Ce, what a talent, fishing for clams."

Even the silly kids couldn't help laughing, it was so funny.

"Go to hell, you're wasting my time." Erhu threw the clams away in disgust. Few people in the countryside eat this now.

It is too cold and difficult to stew, so people usually open it to see if there are any pearls, and throw it away if not.

"Don't you want to see the pearls?"

"That's right. There might be a surprise in such a big cargo." As he said that, Erhu took the scissors and went to open the clam again.

"Oh, there really are some, but unfortunately the quality is so poor." He happily collected six or seven irregular pearls.

"Grinding flour, it will be useful when I have children."

Children are prone to illness after being frightened. Drinking a bowl of pearl powder will be effective at this time.

It took everyone a while to calm down. It was really funny.

They cast their rods again and waited for more than forty minutes. When everyone was about to lose confidence, Qin Dahe caught a fish.

There was a small pause, and he was too lazy to wait, so he stabbed the fish directly and hit it.

Feeling the force in my hand, I knew it was five or six kilograms.

Today he used a 1.0 leader, and he was a little nervous because he couldn't let the fish get away.

After swimming for more than five minutes, the grass carp began to surface, and the silly kid quickly helped him scoop up the fish.

"Brother, next time, let's change the line." The silly kid was a little disgusted with line number one because it was too easy for the fish to escape.

But Line 5 is blocked, so Line 2 or 3 will be fine.

"I'll remember it. I'll buy it next time I go downtown."

Five minutes later, he caught another fish, but unfortunately, he cut it into pieces.

"Forget it, I'll change the line. It looks like there's still a mouth in the morning."

Seeing him pretending like this, Erhu and Tiedan raised their middle fingers and said, "What a great thing!"

Well, it’s really amazing at the moment. They haven’t even seen any fish bite. Then Tiedan started to change to corn.

There is a legend among anglers that when you come up empty-handed, frequently changing baits and pulling the float will basically guarantee you a failure.

Then Tiedan watched Erhu catch fish. The grasshopper he hooked today was targeting grass carp.

"Hehe, I caught a little grass fish, and I have four pounds." He glanced at Tiedan proudly, and began to follow Qin Dahe's example to change to Line 5.

There is no need to stick to Line 1 unless you come back empty-handed. Otherwise, you will be very unsure if you catch a grass carp.

Silly boy started catching fish again. He had a good attitude and line number one slowly came up.

Erhu caught the fish again, but it didn't seem big, so he pulled out the No. 5 line. Then he connected the rod and caught another big carp.

"I thought it was stuck at the bottom. This fish is really powerful, haha." Erhu smiled proudly.

Fortunately, I changed the leader myself. The No. 1 line can handle a five-jin grass carp, but it’s a dilemma for a seven- or eight-jin carp. When this thing moves, it can make people question their lives.

"Carp piling, be careful when using thin line next time, this fish is very sensitive." Qin Dahe explained carp piling to prevent his brothers from encountering carp cutting the line later.

If you go fishing specifically for carp, you often have to wait and see, and only when the carp relaxes its vigilance will you have a chance.

There is a saying in later generations that big carp has a very high IQ, not inferior to that of children.

After Qin Dahe's team of two caught three more fish, Qin's father came over to deliver food.

I caught six grass carps and one carp in the morning, which is pretty good, at least better than yesterday.

It depends on whether the fish continue to bite heavily at night. If they do, he will keep the nest for a while, and then bring a few more electric lights to fish until seven or eight o'clock before going back.

"Today the old turtle sold for 140, a total of 750 yuan. The grass carp was sold for three yuan. Do you want to divide it when you get back or take it now?" The old man asked first. He did not charge any labor fee today. Yesterday he just did it for fun and subsidized the diesel.

"Let's go back and share the food. We're starving." The four young men had to eat from one pot of rice every time.

When the old man saw them eating, he went to go fishing with his rod. After eating, they had to smoke and take a break, so that they could at least play for a while before going back.

"Daha, help me think of a solution." Tiedan was a little anxious, as he had no idea what to do.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you after dinner." Qin Dahe finished another bowl of rice in no time and patted his stomach with satisfaction.

"Do you have some fresh corn at home that's a little older?"

"Have."

"Pick it up whole, don't break it up, and then eat it?"

"Eat it?" Tiedan was a little confused.

"Yeah, when you poop it out tomorrow, it will be top-grade fermented corn. Just plug it in, haha."

"Damn it, you're disgusting."

"You bastard, you're still eating."

The silly kid was a little speechless. No wonder he only spoke after he finished his meal.

Even Qin's father was a little disgusted with his son. What a bad idea.

The four of them lit cigarettes and continued to chat. A cigarette after dinner was better than being a living god.

As they were chatting, Qin's father suddenly started catching fish, using Tiedan's rod.

"Dad, yours is Line 1, go slower."

"I know. Watch me." Father Qin felt very happy. He caught fish with just two casts. These useless guys only caught seven fish in the whole morning.

The fish might be a little big, so the old man didn't dare to pull it hard, and followed the fish back and forth for a while.

Ten minutes later it surfaced slightly, and it was a big grass carp.

"At least eight or nine pounds, hey."

The four of them were immediately envious. The biggest fish they caught today was only about seven or eight kilograms, obviously not as big as this one.

After pulling the fish up, the old man directly put it into their fish basket. He just came here to play, so how could he take advantage of these guys?

"Grandpa is so awesome, he can even pull up such a big fish." Tiedan was so envious that his eyes turned purple. Why couldn't he have the same luck? It was his fishing rod.

The silly kid also gave a thumbs up, saying that fishing for big fish with line one is a test of skill.

"We used to use hemp line for fishing, which had no elasticity, so we had to rely on sliding it," the old man said proudly.

Afterwards, Qin Dahe drove him back, and when he drove the car back, the three of them had already started fishing.
