Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 83 Tofu Shop

"How was it? Did you catch any fish secretly while I was away?" He looked at the silly kid.

The child just smiled brightly and pointed at Yu Hu.

"Just now, big fish, hey!"

"Let's get started, let's get started, I want to catch a fish too." He excitedly started the first cast of the afternoon.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, several people sat there dejectedly.

Only Silly Kid caught two grass carps the whole afternoon, while the others didn't catch a single one, not even a bite. It was outrageous.

"Dahe, should I try digging some earthworms?"

"Forget it. There are so many river shrimps and ground tigers here. Let's collect them." Qin Dahe said helplessly.

I thought my mouth would be better in the afternoon, but it turned out to be even worse than in the morning.

With four people and Qin's father's grass carp weighing eight or nine kilograms, there were probably about fifty kilograms of fish. They really couldn't sit still.

"Erhu, what's the weather forecast for tomorrow?"

"I've been sitting here all day, how would I know?"

"I looked last night and it said it would be sunny from now on." Tiedan said suddenly.

"I'll take you fishing for silver carp and bighead carp tomorrow, but we'll have to spend money on bait. The four of us will need at least ten kilograms of bait a day, which will cost dozens of dollars."

"Go ahead, go catch silver carp and bighead carp. Last time, we only saw you and Silly Kid catching the big fish." The other three people became excited instantly. After all, there was plenty of public funds.

Qin Dahe thought about it and decided to say hello in advance.

"Let me be clear, now that the temperature has dropped, it may not be easy to fish."

"All we have to do is go out and catch some fish, but unfortunately we can't use nets at the sluice gate."

"Brother, there's a reservoir behind." Silly kid reminded him that there are many silver carp and bighead carp in the reservoir.

"Forget it. The silver carp and bighead carp there are specially raised. You can fish for other fish, but you are not allowed to fish for silver carp and bighead carp. They can clean up the water quality." Qin Dahe shook his head.

The reservoir behind the sluice gate is the town's drinking water, and silver carp and bighead carp are responsible for purifying the water quality. If he does this once, he will probably be visited, so it's better not to cause that trouble.

"Oh." The silly kid nodded. So that's how it is.

The reason for fishing for silver carp, bighead carp and grass carp in Qin Dahe River is to catch more fish, because the fish themselves are valuable, but the bait is not valuable.

Although more than 200 kilograms of grass carp bait were prepared, most of it was free melon vines. Except for malt, the rest were picked up from the fields.

The cost of fishing for silver carp and bighead carp is high. The bait for four people a day costs dozens of yuan, and that's if they make the bait themselves. Buying bait costs at least one or two hundred yuan.

But if you just pull out silver carp and bighead carp once, you will definitely make money, not to mention that it feels great.

The harvest was early today, and there wasn't much in the traps, just a little over a pound of river shrimp and some small miscellaneous fish, but none of the three of them wanted any of these small fish.

There are very few crucian carp seeds on this side of the Yuxi River. For some reason, the shrimp cages are mostly filled with whitebait and ground tigers, plus some small crabs and so on.

Last time he used a big trap, he didn't catch many crucian carp seeds. He wanted to put them in the pond, so it seems he has to get some from the river outside.

After returning home and cleaning up the fish, the brothers divided the profits again.

There is still nearly a thousand yuan in the public account. Everyone got two hundred yuan each, and the rest of the money was used as bait.

There won’t be so much tomorrow. More than a pound of shrimp and 50 pounds of grass carp will only make about 200 yuan, which is barely enough to cover the wages.

If you calculate the energy and fishing gear spent, you'll end up losing money today.

But the brothers were still quite cheerful and agreed to come over later to make bait together.

When he wanted to go out, my mother stopped him.

"Your uncle brought you the fry this afternoon. They've already been put in the pond, and he brought two bags of feed." Mother pointed to the pelleted feed in the main room. "Got it. I'll figure out how to feed them later." He didn't care. It was okay to feed the small crucian carp in the pond whenever he remembered. Fish can survive half a month of starvation without dying. Fish are the most resistant to starvation.

Besides, my mother is still at home. If I forget, she will definitely help me.

"Your fifth uncle said to feed it in a few days, and twice a day, about ten pounds each time." As she said this, she stretched out her hand.

"what happened?"

"Money, I paid for the crucian carp seedlings and feed. You made a lot of money these two days, so you must pay me." The old lady said as a matter of course.

The little guy has made a lot of money these days, but we can't give it all to him.

"I didn't take the money from selling silver carp and bighead carp." Qin Dahe said indignantly. He was still asked for these few hundred dollars. It hurt the relationship between mother and son.

"Four hundred yuan, hurry up, I have an appointment with someone to go out and chat."

Qin Dahe reluctantly took out four hundred yuan. He had just received the money and it wasn't even warm yet. He had only earned five hundred yuan after getting tanned over the past two days.

He seriously suspected that I had lied about military intelligence, but unfortunately, if he dared to question it, he would definitely be beaten.

There were some leftovers in the room, but he was too lazy to heat them up and just started eating.

When I first got home, I was waiting for him to eat together, but now I have to eat the leftovers myself.

I took a look at the four little ones. They had all eaten. Ce, the dog, ate before me.

Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier he gets, the more he eats.

"What are you doing here, you robe thief?" Qin Dahe looked at the black bear depressedly as it approached his legs.

"There's only this little bit of food, not enough for me to eat. No, go away, go away." He kicked the black dog away in disgust.

He finished eating quickly and saw that there were still some small fish left, so he gave them to the two kittens.

Sangbiao was very fierce. Black Bear and Chaomian didn't dare to snatch the fish in its bowl. Feifei ate what Sangbiao left.

The small fish he brought home today are all in the kitchen, and he is too lazy to deal with the dishes and chopsticks. He will wait until I get home to deal with them.

He went out to the tofu shop to buy bean dregs. The tofu shop here is at the east end of the village, and he has to drive there to get them.

"Grandpa, how much are the tofu dregs?" As soon as I entered the door, I saw a large iron barrel boiling water, and the steam inside was bubbling out of an iron pipe.

"One cent and two pounds per pound, what? Are you going to take it back to feed the fish?" The tofu seller smiled at him and inserted the iron pipe into the filtered soy milk to heat it up.

Qin Dahe was not in a hurry and just followed to see.

After the boss put the iron pipe in, he started pressing dried tofu next to it.

The gauze is used layer by layer together with the mold to press the solidified soy milk, and finally a heavy stone mill is placed on top.

After finishing these tasks, he washed his hands and came over.

"Dahe, how many pounds do you want?"

"Give me ten pounds, I'll try feeding it to the fish, how about that?" He smiled awkwardly. Ten pounds was one dollar and twenty cents, and people probably felt embarrassed to take the money from him.

"Take it and send me a fish later, haha." The boss made a joke and gave him a big bag, which probably weighed more than 20 kilograms.

He has to make four or five pots of soy milk every day, and a lot of bean dregs are stored every day. Sometimes they become smelly and have to be thrown away.

"Then I'll send you a pound of small fish later. They're all good fish from Yuxi River."

"Yes, sure." The boss's eyes lit up. The miscellaneous fish from Yuxi River tasted better than those from other rivers.
