Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 90 It’s so big, I can’t hold it
When the two returned, the three looked at them with resentment.

It's almost twelve o'clock now. The sluice gate is not far from the town, so it shouldn't take so long.

The three of them were already extremely hungry and sat slumped on the bench, waiting anxiously for their brothers to feed them.

"I should have thought of it earlier. This couple of dogs will definitely not come back so early." Erhu slapped his thigh angrily. He was still young.

"Yeah, we should have thought of it when they went up there. Damn, I almost starved to death."

Even the silly kid leaned weakly against the tree. He was most afraid of being hungry. Once he was hungry, his body would feel weak, unless he ate a lot of meat that day.

"Here you are, what are you in such a hurry for? I'm going to prepare a feast for you."

Qin Dahe didn't care about the looks of the three people at all. He took out the food and started to flatter him naturally.

"And pig's trotters, they're delicious."

"Damn, they have braised goose. It's Chinese New Year today."

The silly kid's eyes lit up when he saw the meat in the lunch box. His biggest wish when he grows up is to have meat for every meal.

During lunch, neither of them ate much, so they naturally packed up the leftovers for their brothers to eat. This is a way of caring about their brothers, hey!

Yanyan's face flushed. She had heard the conversation between those guys just now, and she was still a little embarrassed.

She quickly picked up the fishing rod and started fishing. Seeing this, Qin Dahe took a five-meter rod and went over to help her change it.

"A five-meter one is so heavy." This is a bamboo pole, and it is not light when it is well-made.

"Take a rest for a while. I don't expect you to catch many fish today." He curled his lips and decided not to bully the little girl.

Fishing in big rivers with a three-meter bamboo pole is pure nonsense. The black carp I caught this morning was also a great gift for beginners.

"You can just use a small bait to fish. It's too deep here if you fish against the bottom." The place past five meters is already more than four meters deep, and the slope is very steep. It is difficult to fish against the bottom, so it is better to fish with floating fish.

"Oh." After having lunch at noon, Yanyan has become much more well-behaved.

"Take your time. If there's no bite, put some bait in. If there's no fish in the afternoon, I'll dig up some earthworms."

The king of meat bait is no joke. Generally, wherever there are fish, there will be bites. If you can't catch them, that's another matter. It can also stimulate your nerves.

Then he started to make nests, and stopped for a while at noon, thinking that the nests had become a little scattered.

This method of throwing bait is very luxurious, but he doesn't want to take out the bait at all. Holding a 7.2-meter glass rod in his mouth is fatal.

After fifteen minutes of eating, the other three came over.

“The restaurant is still delicious.”

"Of course it costs money. The pig's trotters my mother stewed last time were so smelly." Erhu complained.

His family was well-off and had plenty of delicious food, but his mother's cooking skills were poor, so she wasted a lot of good things.

"If you can do it, you three can continue in the afternoon." Qin Dahe looked at the three guys. In fact, he felt itchy. It was a bit exciting to have a threesome with the kids today.

"Can I use the road slide?" Erhu spoke first.

"Tiedan, what about you?"

"Let me assist." Catching one fish in the morning was not enough.

Several people changed their rods. This time, Qin Dahe and Hanwaer used a 7.2-meter rod. They waited until the smell of fish (fish bubbles) appeared in the nest before they officially started fishing.

Qin Dahe is used to the movement as soon as he casts the rod. If the rod is strong and the person has good strength, he can catch hundreds of pounds of fish in a few hours. However, the rods nowadays are too poor. They are durable but have no strength.

He paused one point, floated up, paused half a point, floated up, paused one and a half points, and he hit the hole directly, and it was empty.

"Ce, this fish is so slippery." He muttered and continued to cast the rod.

I was a little anxious just now. I should have waited for two minutes.

I cast the rod again, and this time it seemed to have startled the fish's nest. The bait was almost gone but there was no bite.

There was a sound of a reel reeling in, and Erhu next to me caught a fish, and the fish suddenly jumped into the water and washed its gills.

"Wow, a big silver carp." Even Yanyan felt a little jealous at this moment. The moment when the fish washes its gills, any fisherman will secrete adrenaline.

The silly kid next to him sat steadily and took the bait at the moment the float dipped, with very violent movements.

"Damn, so cool." He widened his eyes. He couldn't even hit him with one glance, but the silly kid dared to hit him with just one glance.

"Hey, feel it." The kid grinned. He just felt the hook was hooked, so he hit it directly.

The fish might not be big, his expression was very relaxed, and Qin Dahe lit a cigarette depressedly.

What luck! They caught fish after I set the bait.

Then he changed the bait and cast the rod again, holding the cigarette in one hand and operating with the other, showing the style of the black pit medicine king of later generations.

He cast the rod with skill, and this time he cast it full just to catch the fish.

This pendulum-style bait casting method for fishing silver carp and bighead carp actually has a lot of atomization on the periphery, and the fish gathering points are also mainly on the periphery.

In later generations, when everyone gathered together to catch silver carp and bighead carp, they would compete to see who had the longer rod. An inch longer, an inch better for catching big fish, so casting the rod to the full would have better results, but if you caught a big fish, the rod would not stand up.

Since he didn't catch any fish at the moment, he naturally didn't care about these things.

After changing the bait twice, he finally got a bigger bite. Just now, the bites were small and he had no confidence to catch it, but this time the bite was even more than one eye.

"Swish!" He paused, stabbed directly, and hit the target.

"Damn it, dive down." With a sudden inspiration, he held the pole horizontally against the turret and used his body as a lever.

My heart was pounding. It was such a big fish. It would be fine if I dived down, but it would be a fucking tug-of-war if I tried to pull it out.

Fortunately, today he was using the No. 18 leader line. When the fish bit the bait, he used his whole body as a lever to lift the rod, and Tiedan also came to help.

"Fuck, what a big fish this must be." It took two adult men to straighten up the fishing rod, and the rod even exceeded the critical point of 180 degrees at one point.

But he has made some money recently, so he would rather have his rod burst than play tug-of-war and cut his line.

"Not much, just too full."

He felt relieved after raising the rod. He estimated that the fish did not weigh more than 180 or kilograms. If it was a wild silver carp and bighead carp of this weight, it would not be surprising if the rod just exploded at degrees.

Ten minutes later, a large silver carp weighing nearly 30 kilograms came ashore.

"Awesome, a new record today." Tiedan said enviously.

The fish were very good in the afternoon, and he had helped to catch the fish several times. It was not even two o'clock yet, so he could still do it for at least two or three hours.

I didn’t bring a shrimp cage today, so I can work until dark before going back.

"Are you coming? If you come, I'll give you the pole and I'll go take a rest." Qin Dahe said indifferently.

He was very satisfied after catching a big fish.

I also feel like I was an idiot in my previous life. Fishing in black pits is not as exciting as fishing in the wild. I have lived so long in vain.

There are so many surprises when fishing in the wild. You don’t know how big the fish below is, and you don’t know if the bait will attract other fish.

"Give it to me, let me do it." Tiedan rubbed his hands and took the fishing rod.

After Qin Dahe went down, he rested for a while, then went to the river to fetch water and then made a fire.

They brought so much stuff with them when they went fishing that it was like a picnic.

The water quality of the Yuxi River here is good, and his family draws drinking water directly from the river.

Go back and use alum to precipitate it, then you can eat it directly.

"Yan Yan, would you like something hot to drink?" After catching Erhu's fish, the water boiled.

"Warm it up? Can you chill it in water?" Yanyan looked at her with a bitter face. There was no fish in the afternoon. "Don't worry, I'll pack it up and put it there to dry." What a habit! Chill it with water. Wouldn't that be enough later?

Seeing that Tiedan finally caught a fish, he waited for the water to boil and then kept it by the side, ready to pour water for the others later.

"How is it? How big is it?"

"It's okay, I still have some strength." Tiedan felt a little guilty. In the morning, he caught a fish weighing eight or nine kilograms and it swam like a giant.

Seeing this, Qin Dahe knew he could handle it, and leisurely began to refill the water bottles of several people.

After thinking about it, I put Yanyan's water bottle on a piece of water plants and she would be able to drink it after a while.

When Yanyan saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she knew that her brother cared about her.

After more than twenty minutes, Tiedan still hadn't come up.

"Do you know how to fish? Even a giant wouldn't behave like this." He said with a dark face.

I just stood there for a long time with a scoop net, like an idiot, and the goods haven't been delivered yet.

"Isn't this because I'm afraid the pole will break?"

"Pull you up quickly. Don't worry. At this angle, I can drag you into the water without breaking the pole." He said unhappily.

This is exactly the best angle for fishing at 90 degrees, so just pull it up.

"It's a bit tiring. This fish starts cutting through the water after a while, and then when it stops, I can't pull it up."

"."

"Big carp." Silly kid reminded.

Qin Dahe's eyes lit up. It seemed that only carp could perform like this, but big carp were still very rare.

Looking at Tiedan's struggling performance, you can tell that he should be around thirty or even heavier. Can a wild carp grow so big?

"Pull harder, don't be afraid of the line breaking, the 18-gauge leader line can break the rod, damn."

"Here we go, get ready for the scoop net."

After several urgings, Tiedan finally started to exert his strength. After a while, the fish head could be seen floating up. It was indeed a carp, a big carp.

"Oh my god, it's so big." Several people were shocked. The carp had a huge belly and was so fat that it was obvious that the belly was full of seeds.

Fortunately, it is not spring. In spring, the carp with eggs must be released. The rural people buy into this.

"Can this be sold for money?" Several people were a little unsure. Nowadays, people buy carp to do business and take them home to see how good it looks.

This fish is too big. It is impressive to carry it, but no one is stupid enough to carry such a big fish to do business.

"Let my dad handle it when I get home. He's good at selling fish." Qin Dahe didn't care. Silver carp and bighead carp were already very profitable today, and they were dealing in large quantities of goods.

The three continued fishing. He put the fish in the basket and then took a break. He would go and help whoever caught a fish.

"Brother, help me." Yanyan started calling him from the other side.

"coming."

When Qin Dahe heard the sound, he knew there was no need to rush, as there was a flying fish over there, but Yanyan didn't dare to take the fish down.

"You caught all these silver carp and bighead carp." He said with a smile.

A silver carp, weighing a little over a pound, just throw it back into the pond.

He helped take down the silver carp and bighead carp and re-baited them.

"Brother, I want to go fishing for silver carp and bighead carp." Yanyan blinked her big eyes, a little bit like she was acting coquettishly.

"Well, you can fish with this rod, right?"

"No, there are no big fish in this corner."

"But there's no sun here, and it's so hot over there. If you get tanned, I'll return it."

"Go away, I haven't said I'll marry you yet." Yanyan's face turned red.

How can this guy bring up the topic so clearly? Shameless, bah!
"Be good, I'll help you make a nest and see if you can catch a bigger one." Qin Dahe's voice suddenly became gentle.

I also helped her prepare new dry nesting materials, and while it was absorbing water, I also helped her change the thread set.

The main line is No. 22, the sub-line is No. 18, and it is matched with a five-meter rod. It is still Lu Bu riding a dog, but this dog is barely usable.

"There's a fish over there. Look at how I hold the bait. I just throw it directly to the surface and then make a ball on the spring."

Qin Dahe explained in detail how to atomize the bait and how to cast the rod.

"If you see the float bobbing up and down, you've got a fish. Just hit it if it hits twice."

Yanyan listened in detail and started to make bait herself. It took her two attempts to learn how to do it.

"I'm going to scoop up some fish and come back to check later." As he said that, Qin Dahe went over. The fish on Erhu's side were almost slipping away.

"Silver carp." Qin Dahe was a little disappointed. Silver carp is extremely cheap now, only priced at two and a half or three yuan.

This silver carp was quite big, weighing fifteen pounds. Erhu ran around for a long time.

"The fish are biting really hard today," Erhu said excitedly.

When I was fishing for grass carp there yesterday, it was fine in the morning, but in the afternoon I felt as heavy as if I was visiting a grave.

"The density is high here at the sluice gate, but it may not be the same next year." Qin Dahe shook his head.

No matter how awesome the resources are, can they be compared with fish ponds?
All the fish in other people's fish ponds have been fished out, and there are probably only a few thousand kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp here in the sluice gate. If he catches too much this year, it will be difficult to catch next year.

But there must be some in other places along the Yuxi River. I'll look for them when the time comes.

After a while, Yanyan actually caught silver carp and bighead carp.

Qin Dahe was a little surprised. How many fish were there in stock at the sluice gate? Could he fish nearby?

"Come slowly, flip it over first, and make sure the pole is upright."

Yanyan doesn't have the strength and skills of Hanwaer and the others, so she must never hold the rod horizontally, because once it does, she can't stand it up anymore.

"I know, it's so big, it's a little hard to hold."

Qin Dahe almost choked to death on his saliva. Even a city dweller like him couldn't stand such fierce words coming out of such a delicate voice.

"Put the pole in the ground and prop it up with your feet, then hold it with your hands and don't move."

The five-meter bamboo pole is quite strong. When combined with a 22+18 line set, most fish cannot escape unless they are extremely huge.

The silly kid over there also caught a fish, but he didn't care since it didn't seem difficult. There was a scoop net over there, so anyone could just lend a hand.

Seeing that Yanyan was about to be dragged into the water, he stepped forward and held the rod.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it."

"No, I can fish by myself."

"I'll beat you up if you run away."

"Beat me up. Then tell me about it and I will definitely beat you up." Qin Dahe was convinced that the little girl could still act coquettishly at this time.

But he did not loosen his hand. Seeing the bamboo pole making some slight crisp sounds, he suddenly became anxious.

He passed his hand through the other man's chest and gripped the rod all the way, positioning it at a slight angle.

"Stop it, the pole will break if you push hard." He glared at Yanyan.
