Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 170: Stealing the Nest

When he got home, he went to Erhu first. The big tricycle there was nearing the end and needed to speed up.

"Hurry up, I'll take you to do something big tomorrow."

"What's the big deal?"

"Let's get the car first, we can make a lot of money there." He didn't say much.

The front part of the car had been made according to his drawings. After checking that there were no obvious mistakes or omissions, I installed it directly.

Then there is the frame, which doesn’t require any technical skills, it’s just heavy.

Even Tiedan's father came to help. Four people lifted it up and fixed it, then started welding.

Three welding guns started spot welding directly, and iron wire and screws were used for reinforcement.

He didn't go home until dinner time, as he had agreed to work overtime that night to finish the work.

Afterwards, he went to his father-in-law's house to say hello. The silly boy went out with him to catch fish for a few days and had no work arranged for him yet.

My father-in-law naturally agreed, as there is less work in spring.

While eating at home, he told the old man the whole story, especially the harm caused by loach nests. It was a pity that this thing was not banned now.

He himself actually doesn't care. The thing that the black pit medicine king has the most is special bait.

"Is it really that dangerous?"

"Well, apart from anything else, don't even think about trawling within the dozens of miles around Sancha River in the short term." It's the migratory stage now, and there are a lot of predatory fish.

"Ce, these loach guys are really no good."

Qin Dahe's face turned dark. He and his son had also used loach once last year.

"Dad, I'm going to take people to fish directly on the edge tomorrow. There's no need to be precise about the loach nests. As long as they're nearby, they'll be fine."

The old man frowned and thought for a moment: "Are they all from outside the area?"

"Well, we should be divided into two groups, one group fishing and the other collecting loaches, about five or six people."

"Bring the crossbow and the toy gun, and also Erhu's green dog. Be sure to bring them."

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Tomorrow, you can help me collect loaches in town. I don't think this bait will be enough. We'll set up the shrimp traps tonight, and we'll also have to prepare some live shrimp."

Since you are planning to do something big, you must prepare enough bait. How can you not be fully prepared?

This time the explosion of protection is almost inevitable, the cost of the loach nest is there.

Although he has never used it, you can tell how terrifying it is by watching the video. It's just a crazy pull.

I tried it once in Da Wan last year, and I caught so many mandarin fish in Da Wan with just a few kilograms of loaches.

After dinner, Qin's father went to put down the shrimp cages, and Qin Dahe went to Erhu's side to continue his work.

It was not until nine o'clock that the tricycle was completely finished. Tiedan even polished it to make it look more translucent.

“That’s a lot of progress, haha.”

"You taught me well, smoking." Tiedan handed over a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes with a smile.

Qin Dahe took the cigarette without hesitation and opened it, giving one to each of them.

"Work hard, there will be big jobs for you next time."

The three of them sat on the side and smoked. It was still a bit cold at this time, but no one was too lazy to go into the house.

"Remember to feed Brother Niu more tomorrow morning. He also wants to go out with us."

"Okay." Erhu nodded. A dog must be brought along for a big operation. It can pull the pole and keep watch.

Qin Dahe talked about what would happen tomorrow and made it clear that there might be a conflict.

"If the outsider dares to attack, we'll deal with him, Ce."

The three of them looked at each other, none of them were afraid. They had been teaming up to fight since they were in junior high school, so why would they be afraid?

In the evening, I drove the repaired tricycle back home and started to pack up the fishing gear in the utility room, mainly the line set.

This time I used a single hook to hang live bait, two long poles, a lure rod, and five bamboo poles.

The line group uses 22 nylon line, the thickest braided line on the lure rod, and I will go fly fishing directly tomorrow.

Anyway, the individuals of black carp and mandarin fish are not big, and the larger ones are not valuable, so the best way to save money on the process of fishing is to save money.

The hook is a large steel hook with a wolf-tooth handle. I am afraid that the three hooks will block the mouth, so I won’t use it. Not all fish have a mouth as big as that of silver carp and bighead carp.

After packing up his things, he returned to the attic and found Yanyan waiting for him.

"Brother, are we going to fight tomorrow?" Yanyan shrank nervously in his arms.

"What the hell." He said casually, "They're just a bunch of outsiders. They wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

"Then be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll bring Chao Mian and Black Bear with me tomorrow. They'll be helpful at least."

"How big are these two?" Yanyan wanted to laugh when she thought of the two puppies. They only weighed a dozen pounds together.

"Don't worry about how big it is, as long as it can provide alert."

These loach guys must do it once, they have a fixed route every year to roam around and make money.

Once he got the job done well in the county, he could forget about fishing and could only go fishing in the wild rivers.

After hearing what Qin Dahe said, Yanyan felt more relieved. Besides, the brother also brought Hanwaer and the other four with him, and they were all very capable.

Since they were young, they have never lost a fight among four people and are considered a bully among their peers.

The next morning, before dawn, everyone gathered and moved their belongings onto the tricycle.

Today they drove a three-wheeled vehicle over there, and the old man rode a motorcycle to the town to buy loaches.

The big blue dog jumped onto the car with all its might. The other two puppies couldn't jump in and cried anxiously. Erhu also picked them up and threw them on.

"Mom, if you come to pick up the car today, remember to ask for money. 4300 yuan."

"I know, go ahead." The old mother waved her hands happily and took some steamed buns for Erhu and the others to take.

Knowing that her sons were going out fishing this morning, she prepared steamed buns for them to eat early in the morning.

Everyone in the family went out for this fishing trip. The father and son collected the shrimp cages at five in the morning and took half of the three pounds of river shrimp with them. If there were not enough loaches, they would hang river shrimp.

Since you are fishing with live bait, have more fun.

We drove all the way to Phoenix Bridge. It was only seven o'clock and both sides of the river were crowded with people.

Qin Dahe took a special look when he passed by the hotel. Both cars were there. Did they release these fish? Did they stop fishing?

In later generations, some people released loaches, but that thing destroyed the ecology even more than releasing black carp. I really don't know what those aunties who released them were thinking.

When he arrived at Sancha River, he put down his things and parked the car at a fork in the road below.

If I put it there, it would be a disaster in case these idiots get angry and puncture his tires.

The four of them carried their stuff down in several trips because the stuff on the fishing platform was too heavy.

The three dogs went down quickly and were running around in no time. This kind of environment is the happiest for dogs.

When we got to the place, we installed the fishing platform first. To prevent conflicts, we didn't put it too far away, but placed it one meter from the shore.

Put on the fishing line. Today I will fish without lead or float. I will just cast the fish with the rod turned away.

I don’t know about other things, but for carnivorous fish, once they swallow the loach, they don’t even need to watch the float, they will just move around very vigorously.

Then divide the bait, use loach, river shrimp, etc., and add more when there is not enough.

"You three go ahead and hook up the loaches. I'll boil some water."

"Okay, let me play with the lure first." Erhu reached out and took the lure rod, then returned to his fishing spot.

Because the fishing platform is in the water, there is no need to keep someone to help scoop up fish.

Just drag the fish to a nearby fishing platform and help each other catch the fish, which is very convenient. I brought a bundle of cotton stalks in the car and dug a hole to boil water.

Time is very precious. Everyone brought a large kettle, so we can fill it up directly and there is no need to boil water in the morning.

By the way, feed the three dogs. If they are not fed enough, they will run around everywhere. How can we keep them alert?

Once everything is done, we start assigning tasks.

Each person was given a steel pipe, which is very powerful for hitting people. The silly kid was also given a crossbow.

The two crossbows and toy guns will not be taken out unless necessary, and even if they are taken out, they will definitely not be fired at people.

The impact is too great. Once a sharp weapon is used to hurt someone, even the reasonable ones become unreasonable.

The thing was not finished yet, and Tiedan's mouth started to curl up, and it took some pulling before it was pulled up.

You know, today the long rod is equipped with No. 22 line, so it is fine to just fly over a fish weighing three or four pounds.

"Haha, a meter-sized black carp, this loach is really amazing." Tiedan said with admiration.

It is not easy to catch this in Yuxi River. Today, the first catch was the rice croaker, which was really scary.

The black carp was picked up by the silly kid next to him. Today, fish guards were brought to all four fishing platforms.

If you are here for the explosive protection, how can you not make more preparations?

"I'll come too." Qin Dahe was itching to try it out. He didn't even bother to put his things away and went straight to his fishing platform to start working.

There was no need to exchange lure rods with Erhu, he just took the bamboo pole and started fishing.

A five-meter-long raw bamboo pole, cut this morning, can be pulled up straight or hard, and has great strength.

I hooked a loach and cast the rod with full confidence. I was really confident because Erhu also caught a fish and was reeling it in frantically.

"It must be a mandarin fish, Ce, it's really fucking powerful." The sound of the fishing line cutting through the water never stopped since the fish was caught, and it even brought the line to his side at one point.

Finally the fish was pulled to his side, but he also caught the fish, holding the rod with one hand to scoop it up.

"Cena, are the fish so aggressive?" They didn't even find a nest.

"How would I know? Hurry up, it's all money."

A two and a half kilograms mandarin fish costs seventy or eighty yuan, and it only takes a few minutes.

After the fish here are under protection, fly directly to Qin Dahe's side.

I was afraid that the tip of the 7.2-meter glass rod would break, so I had to sneak to his side to catch the fish, but I was not afraid of the 5-meter-long bamboo rod at all.

He saw a big black carp flying over, drawing a trajectory in the air, and suddenly hit his hand and bounced away.

"You can fly at this size?"

"Fly, fly if you can today, don't waste time. If your long pole is not good for catching fish, try using a bamboo pole." He said excitedly.

I have to protect myself today, haha.

The scoop net was useless just now, so I just used gloves to force the fish down.

The silly kid actually got a big shipment of goods, and the 7.2-meter fiberglass was actually showing signs of tug-of-war.

"what is this?"

"You bastard." The silly kid shouted in a stifled voice.

Qin Dahe: “.”

This thing again? I was lucky enough to catch a big alligator last year, and now another one?

The kid must have weighed at least 30 kilograms to look like this. He is so lucky.

He ignored the trembling tip of his fishing rod.

Loaches are living creatures and will pull the line as they move. You don’t need to pay any attention to their slight vibrations. This is also the reason why the fishing float is not used today.

There is no lead weight, just let it lie on the bottom to block the rod, and it is easy to tell when predatory fish are caught.

Anyway, the line set is thick enough, so it can last for a while even if you play tug-of-war.

The shouts and screams one after another really make your adrenaline rush, and various carnivorous fish take turns to come up.

"Dahe, do you want us to try throwing the net?" Erhu said excitedly.

I have caught quite a few black carp and mandarin fish in such a short while. If I had used a hand-cast net, I would have caught even more.

I went out today with the intention of making a big splash, so I even brought two pairs of hand-cast nets.

"Forget it, let's wait until there are no more bites, don't be impatient." He shook his head and took in another smaller catfish.

"Did you catch any big catfish?" Qin Dahe asked.

The silly kid was still reeling in the big black carp for at least ten minutes. The 7.2-meter-long rod had a disadvantage because it was soft and had no strength.

If it were a bamboo pole, Line 22 would have slipped over in ten minutes.

"I have one that weighs over three pounds, but I haven't seen any big catfish."

"Damn, I want to make some food for dinner tonight." He curled his lips.

The skin and meat of the catfish are really delicious, and there are no bones at all. The meat is soft, tender and chewy.

This time, with such a good harvest, he planned to keep a lot for himself.

"I want to spend an evening drinking."

"Come on, one rabbit wasn't enough for us last time. If we want to eat enough for the four of us, we need at least ten pounds."

"Erhu." The silly kid shouted.

It turned out that the fish had slipped away and was right under Erhu's feet.

He immediately stopped bragging and started helping the silly kid scoop up the fish.

"Such a big alligator is more than 1.5 meters long. It must have eaten so many small fishes." Erhu said regretfully.

The alligator is not valuable, but the fish that the alligator eats in the river are not cheap.

"Why think about this? Just keep fishing."

Only half an hour had passed since he boiled the water, and everyone had already loaded up a lot of goods.

The main ones are sea bass and black carp, and there are two mandarin fish. However, sea bass are cheap now, so people are too lazy to shout when they catch them.

The current situation is that he can catch a fish within four or five minutes of casting the rod. Including the time spent on flying fish and re-baiting, he can catch a fish within seven or eight minutes at most.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the fish weighs two or three pounds. Big fish are still troublesome.

It wasn't until half past nine that he stopped eating, meaning there was no movement for ten minutes after he threw the loach in.

"Have a cigarette and take a break." He relaxed his shoulders, feeling really tired.

"My arms are almost broken. Loach fishing is so fun."

"Haha, it would be nice to be this cool every day."

Qin Dahe didn't count the exact amount of fish he caught, but it must have been over 100 kilograms, and it was only an hour and a half.

If we are lucky today, four people can bring back a thousand kilograms of fish, which means we can earn at least ten thousand yuan.

No matter how unpalatable the fish from big rivers and lakes are, they are not cheap. Even black carp is the same price as grass carp.

The texture of the black carp is rough and a bit fishy, so it tastes much worse when roasted, but it is especially delicious when marinated. Just fry it in oil.

At this time, Qin Dahe's phone rang. It was Qin's father calling.

"Dad, how many loaches did you collect?"

"It's over four pounds. Do you want me to give it to you now?"

"Deliver it at noon, and bring us lunch as well. We'll have a great harvest today." Qin Dahe smiled. When the old man came over and saw the fish in the four fish baskets, he would definitely be stunned.
