Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 125 Doubts
"Dahe, let's continue fishing tonight. If there are more white eels, we can catch more." The old man said excitedly.

Qin Dahe smiled bitterly. It was really painful to go online with this cool weather.

But he still nodded, because he made a lot of money today.

"Why don't we go now? After we're done I'll come back and shower and eat, then go straight to bed."

It was already dark. The old man thought about it and realized that there were no street lights here and it was cold so no one would come out to wander around. He just had to be careful.

If someone really saw it, it would be seen. It takes a lot of perseverance to steal the net in the middle of the night in winter.

At 5:30 the next morning, the old man with a gloomy face closed the net.

"Dad, the three nets are empty, there are only two shrimps."

"I know, stop talking nonsense and take it away quickly."

He has already collected eight nets, two of which are empty, and the harvest from the others is not very good.

The two men carried headlamps as they collected the net, but they were in a bad mood.

When the father and son got together, they discovered that eleven of their nets had been stolen, which was simply outrageous.

"Haha, those bastards have become so powerful that they stole from me again." Qin's father said gritting his teeth.

"That's about it. It's so cold in winter. Why don't we just stop fishing and go fishing for bighead carp next spring."

"The net is no longer working. The bastard who stole the net must be caught and beaten."

The father and son looked at Xu Cun at the same time. Apart from Xiao Xiang, they really couldn't think of any other thief who would be searching along the river in this weather.

The temperature at night is now four or five degrees Celsius or even below zero. It gets cold very early this year. If you have the perseverance to steal the net, why can't you make money?

Even Qin Dahe doesn't want to make shrimp cages anymore, because he thinks it's hard in winter.

"That's pretty decent. He's stolen from us so many times, but he always puts it back in its place."

The old man's face darkened when he heard this. "What's the point of being particular? No one would steal half of the net."

He angrily dumped the contents of the bucket together, carried the bucket upstairs, and left Qin Dahe carrying the trap weighing seventy or eighty kilograms.

Fortunately, this road has been repaired, otherwise it would be impossible to get up.

Today's goods are much less, just one white eel and less than two kilograms of river shrimp.

Qin Dahe suggested steaming the white eel and eating it in the evening, and my mother didn’t refuse.

My son and his wife have been making a lot of money these days, and the family savings are increasing, so we just eat it.

"I'll add some river shrimp and some small fish, and you can send them to Yanyan."

"it is good."

There were few river shrimps, so Qin's mother picked out some and asked Qin's father to send them to her daughter's house later. She would give some to Binbin and sell the remaining one pound.

There is only one son and one daughter in the family. Even if I am partial to the eldest daughter, I still have to take care of her. They are both my dearest ones.

Qin Dahe wrote a list of the parts needed for the motorcycle tricycle and gave it to the old man, asking him to help buy them when he went out. He also had to take time out after work to help his second uncle get the car.

Seeing that it was still early, he went back to bed and lay for another hour. It was too cold, so he waited until 7:30 before going out.

It's very close to Xinba. Just get off at Liming Supermarket and ride a tricycle to get there in a short while. He is not in a hurry.

When he arrived at the old carpenter's house, he saw the silly boy was busy, planing wood meticulously, and the old carpenter was not there.

"Kid, this is your money." He counted out the silly kid's money.

"Brother, next time, save money." The child said happily.

"How much have you saved?"

I saw the silly kid making a gesture, which means it’s two thousand yuan. He had nine hundred yuan left last time, and more than six hundred yuan today, which means he has earned five or six hundred yuan recently.

Qin Dahe also knew that he often followed his father to the street to sell crucian carp and small fish. It seemed that the market was good, but it was a bit hard work.

Those who can go online at night in such bad weather really deserve to make money.

Just like Xiao Xiang from Xu Village, he insisted on stealing the net in such a cold weather. It's really despicable.

Now even the dog has to be tied up at home at night because dogs are afraid of the cold, but he still insists on stealing the net.

"Didn't you log off the internet last night?"

The silly kid shook his head. "Today, I'm busy."

"Well, focus on learning the craft and work hard." He patted the kid's shoulder and went next door.

"Grandpa, this is what my mother asked me to bring."

At this time, the old carpenter was rinsing his mouth. Seeing him, he nodded and asked him to put it aside.

"Where's Yanyan?"

"I've gone to work. It seems I have to do accounts today. I seem to be very busy recently." At this time, the aunt also came out. Seeing the fish, she picked it up with a smile.

"Oh."

He was a little disappointed that he didn't see Yanyan, but there was nothing he could do since she was busy.

It's the end of the year and all units are busy. Let's see if there is much work tomorrow. If not, just send Yanyan to work. The weather is a bit cold, and he feels sorry for his wife riding a bike alone.

He picked up Erhu and Tiedan and went all the way to Xinba Flower Factory.

There is a lot of work to do today. After the workers have laid the support, they have to drill holes in the iron sheet, screw it on, and then weld another layer.

We built a two-meter wall in the morning, which is a layer of iron sheet. This kind of iron sheet factory is very fast to build.

After lunch, the production line started to work. He was busy with the production line and asked Erhu and the other man to help the workers build the scaffolding.

The factory building needs to be six meters high, so the next two floors will be troublesome.

Then when installing the ceiling, you have to weld overhead, and you need a special welding mask with sunglasses, otherwise you will go blind.

This kind of work can only be done by a master chef. Erhu and the others can't do it at all.

"Erhu, once the scaffolding is set up, you two can start soldering the iron sheets. If you encounter any difficulties, let me handle them."

"know."

Tiedan over there has gotten the hang of it. He is bold and makes a lot of mistakes, but he learns quickly.

When learning a craft, you can't be afraid of making mistakes, and Qin Dahe never scolded them for their mistakes.

The welding on the production line here is really troublesome. At least eight or nine square meters of aluminum alloy need to be welded front and back, and they need to be polished before welding.

Then you also need to control the current. When welding aluminum alloys, you cannot directly scratch the arc. You need to slowly approach and then form an arc.

The more difficult the technique, the more careful he was and the better he did it, so it naturally took him more time.

There are still many places that cannot be welded now. We have to wait until the surrounding partitions are completed and then weld them according to the size. It was dark when the first production line was finished welding.

"Dahe, it's time to get off work."

Qin Dahe rubbed his eyes, feeling sore even through the protective shield. This money was not easy to earn, and it was even more painful to weld overhead when hanging the ceiling.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the factory manager about tomorrow's schedule."

The iron sheets surrounding the production line and factory have been welded, but tomorrow's schedule remains uncertain. "Next, we'll have to install the wooden planks, and we'll have to spend a day building the frame on top. The ceiling won't start until at least the day after tomorrow at noon."

"Then I'll isolate the production line first?"

"Wait a minute. If the top frame isn't done well, the iron sheets under your production line will get in the way."

"Then why did you bring the production line in today?"

"Isn't this adjusting the factory layout according to the production line? You have to work harder and wait for a day." The factory director smiled bitterly.

The iron sheet factory will not invite professional construction workers, so they make adjustments as they go along.

"Then I'll stop the production line for a while. I'll go spread lime in the reserved area. You guys should avoid it."

"You are the contractor. Just keep up with the pace of the project. The rest is up to you."

The factory manager saw that he was responsible in his work, so he naturally took his suggestions to heart.

When we went to the site together, Qin Dahe was already familiar with the drawings of the production equipment and used a ruler to mark them out.

"I will weld an extra half meter for the feed port. Based on the power of your machine, I should be able to maximize the application. It will just be more difficult for you to carry the bag."

"That's okay. The more bags the workers carry, the more money they will get." The factory manager doesn't care about this. What he cares about is production efficiency.

The two production lines themselves are high-power equipment. If the feed inlet is increased, there will be at least three production lines in the warehouse factory.

If the power is running at full capacity, more than 100,000 kilograms of cotton can be consumed in a day.

What he needs to do is to occupy the market share, and it would be best if he could shut down Cangtou's factory so that he can feel at ease.

"Okay, let's do it this way. There will be less work tomorrow, so we'll come over later." Tomorrow we will also weld the production line and the top layer of the wall, which will take four or five hours at most.

He planned to come back around ten o'clock, have lunch at noon and then work for another two hours.

That's what contracting is like. You work overtime until dark today, and then you're bored to death tomorrow.

"Just do your job well and you can come anytime." The factory director waved his hand and ignored the details.

All the workers were recruited by the village committee, and he only stayed here because he was concerned about the construction of the factory.

What he wants to ensure is that the factory can be built successfully and without any problems.

On the way back, Tiedan was still driving the car, and Qin Dahe sat in the back rubbing his eyes.

The best way at this time is to clean with breast milk, but unfortunately, it is impossible to do so in the countryside at the moment, so I can only wait for Yanyan.

Thinking of that pair of great truths, he felt that there would definitely be enough breast milk in the future.

"Come to my house tomorrow at ten o'clock to see me."

"it is good."

The two of them felt that this kind of class was really fun. They just had to do their own work and no one would bother them.

Ever since Qin Dahe returned home, the lives of his friends have been getting better and better.

After returning home, I found the old man packing up the trap, and I couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Dad, why are you doing this?"

"Catch some crucian carp to sell? It's too expensive to keep them every day."

"The biggest one is estimated to be only two taels. Are you starting to sell it now?" He looked at his father speechlessly.

"Don't worry about it, someone will definitely buy it." The old man said proudly.

After packing up the big trap, I went to the edge of the yard and started setting up the net.

The old lady didn't say anything, because she knew her husband's plan.

"Then please work harder and don't suffocate the fry to death."

"I know, I will definitely not hurt your seedling."

Qin Dahe didn't care about this anymore. If you want to sell it, just sell it. Let me cook for you. I'm starving to death.

On the other side, at Tiedan’s house, the family was talking about Qin Dahe.

"How about we buy a washing machine for Daha? Send it to him before the New Year, otherwise Asheng will owe more and more favors." Tiedan's father said with a bitter face.

A Sheng is Tiedan's real name, but he has had a bald head since he was a child. Only by shaving his head would the soybean-sized yellow ringworm scabs on his scalp disappear. So he simply shaved his head, and the name Tiedan followed him all his life.

"Erhu's family sent him rice wine and contracted him for work. They have already repaid some of their favors, but there has been no response from our family. After a long time, the child has lost the confidence to speak." The old mother also spoke worriedly.

The couple looked at Tiedan's grandfather at the same time. His family had not yet split up, and his grandfather was still in charge.

"Send it to him, but before that, go to his house and ask him about it indirectly. Don't buy too much. Qin Da is also a man who can make money. His family is very wealthy." The old man knocked on the table and picked up another box.

"This contains a whole musk, of average quality. It was sent back by Ah Sheng's uncle when he was stationed in Qinghai. It's quite a rare item, so let's send it over as well."

Tiedan's uncle is from his second father's (second grandfather's) family and is a cousin of his father. When he was young, he served in the army in the west and served for nine years before being discharged from the army. Now he is working as an armed police cadre in the county. The whole family has moved in, but the two sides often visit each other during the holidays.

This musk is valuable now, but not too much. It has been too long, and according to traditional Chinese medicine, its medicinal properties have been lost a lot.

Although our family was poor in the 1980s, the price was so low that we couldn't bear to sell it. Now it's just fine as a gift.

Everyone in the family agreed. Seeing that their children had started to earn money by welding, they knew that Qin Dahe was really helping his brothers get rich, so they had to return the favor.

Washing machines are not expensive nowadays. You can buy a good one for more than a thousand yuan. It is incomparable to learning technology.

"Dad, this gift is the best. I heard from Dahe that he also uses musk when fishing." Tiedan said happily.

They had heard Qin Dahe talk about musk more than once, and bait with musk added was very tempting.

"That's great. This gift is really the right one." The old man was extremely happy.

There are many strong laborers in the family, and it would be a good thing if someone could go out and learn a skill. There are not enough fields to farm.

This is basically the case in most populous provinces across the country, where no one has enough land to farm.

After several rounds of land distribution in the production team, there was no land left for newborns after the new century.

When this wave of young people born in the 1980s and 1990s grows up, the wealthy and strong labor force will form a wave of going out to work.

After dinner, Qin Dahe quickly took a shower. It was cold now and taking a shower was really a torture. He went to the utility room to wash in a big basin, and the water was a little cold before he finished washing.

"Mom, what's wrong with Black Bear?" When he came out to wipe his hair, he saw Black Dog groaning on the ground while his mother was rubbing her belly.

"It's too full. Don't put snowflake powder in the bait next time. The little guy has been full several times."

Qin Dahe: “.”

This is silver carp and bighead carp bait, not dog food, damn.

"Can't you just feed him fish food?" He was too lazy to worry about the waste of bait feeding silver carp and bighead carp.

"The black bear likes to eat bait. It beaten Sang Biao again today, so he asked him to eat more and grow his body."

Qin Dahe looked at his mother's gentle movements and sighed. This broken dog is really spoiled.

This cowardly dog, even if you feed him until he weighs 50 kilograms, he will still be beaten by Sang Biao, who can catch birds when he is only two months old.

　Today the collection has increased to 3400, I am happy.
