Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 175 Notify the Fishermen to Enter
When Scar saw the catfish, he was just amazed.

As a fish boss who collects good catches along the Yangtze River all year round, he has seen all kinds of giant fish.

We have caught black carp, silver carp and bighead carp weighing hundreds of kilograms. Jiuzi is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and is connected to countless water systems, so there must be a lot of big fish.

Everyone helped to weigh the goods. Since they had come to pick up the goods, you had to contribute.

The price is still the same as yesterday, but there is no knife fish, which is a pity for Scar.

"The annual shipment volume of Yangtze River knife fish is only a few dozen tons now. During the Qingming Festival, the total shipment volume from several provinces is only a few thousand kilograms. There is a price but no demand." Scar Grandpa sighed.

Back then, the annual production of knife fish was several hundred tons and the price was relatively normal. Now it is extremely expensive.

"We are lucky. We were teased by two river pigs, and they drove a group of knife fish over to swim around." Qin Dahe said with a wry smile.

I wish I could have it again today. The knife fish I ate last night was so fresh.

"Forget it, let's start settling the accounts."

The guy over there has already finished selling his fish, so all he needs to do now is to sum up the prices.

As usual, people don't want the black carp, and Scar Ye also doesn't accept some small sea bass because they have too many bones.

Today's harvest is much less than yesterday's. We only sold about 5,000 yuan. Everyone is in a good mood. Where can you find a salary of 1,000 yuan a day?

The loach man also came over happily to move the goods. He had a lot of stuff, especially catfish.

The bigmouth catfish I caught at night were very fierce, and there was also a 1.5-meter-long black bass. Scar paid a very high price for both.

When he learned that this group of people were going to evacuate tomorrow, he didn't take it too seriously.

It is actually possible to build loach nests in the Yangtze River because it has strong restoration capabilities. It just so happens that the white-fin dolphin is weak now and the number of predatory fish has increased sharply.

Unfortunately, this group of dragons that crossed the river cannot be stopped, and there is no point in fighting them in small matters.

They sold 12,000 worth of fish, but they didn't sell the alligators. I heard that they went to the canal across the street in the morning to sell some of the alligators.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Scar said goodbye quickly. The road conditions were very bad and there were no street lights on the levee. It was very dangerous to drive at night.

Qin Dahe walked up to them, said hello, and turned on the general light, mainly to make it easier for them to put on the bait.

Today I am fishing without a float, so I don’t need a spotlight to see the float.

The loach guy next door also turned on the light. Their power cord was connected from the car, dragging a line several dozen meters long. I guess it was a large battery, which is more professional.

"Dad, I'm going to buy food. What are you eating?"

"Go buy some stir-fried dishes. We have to eat dinner tonight, otherwise I can't hold on." The old man made the decision without waiting for Erhu and the others to speak.

"Then I'll take a catfish and ask someone to roast it so I can have some oily food."

"Okay, you go."

Today, another bigmouth catfish was left behind, and he had already anticipated what would happen in the evening.

Carrying a fish, I took a boat to the opposite side to find a restaurant, but the restaurant at Fenghuang Bridge had closed long ago.

The ferry is available 24 hours a day. The ferry operator will definitely make money during the day, but he will have to run it even at a loss at night, as transportation between the two places depends on it.

I paid ten yuan for the processing fee of the catfish, and ordered a serving of braised pork and scrambled eggs with leeks.

"Pack it up for me in five portions, with plenty of rice."

"Okay, I'll ask the people at the back to prepare it." The boss smiled and went to the back.

After a while, the boss came back and gave him a cigarette.

"Did you get this fish in the Yuxi River?"

"Well, a group of loaches came here to cause trouble, and I took over their nest." Qin Dahe said casually.

When the other party asked further questions, I explained the matter in detail.

"so smart?"

"Yes, they sold twelve thousand today."

The boss's eyes bulged. Twelve thousand. His own restaurant couldn't even make that much money in a month.

"Then you guys are fishing there too."

"I'm here to pack some food for you. You can go back and eat it and continue working. It's just over there on Sancha River." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

"Then what are you trying to do? Someone will come to grab your territory tomorrow."

They are all smart people and they can tell from just a few words that Qin Dahe has other intentions.

"I want you to spread the news. Tomorrow morning when I go to the dock, I will also ask the net workers to go to that area. We can't do it anymore."

He talked about the harmful effects of the loach nests. It was nice to make money now, but the loss would be greater for them if the Yuxi River was ruined.

Now is the time when fish are shedding their eggs. Once predatory fish come, their reproduction for the whole year may be affected.

"You are so righteous." The boss knew that he had been fishing for two days and didn't say much.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not give up until seven or eight days later.

He immediately started making phone calls to get people involved. As a local restaurant, how could they not know the bosses of those fishing boats?

Qin Dahe had just packed the food when the sound of a motorcycle was heard outside and four people came in, looking exhausted.

"Asheng, where's the fisherman?"

"Boss Zhang, this is the one, you two can talk." The boss pointed at Qin Dahe.

"Is there really anyone who works in loach nests?" They are all experienced fishermen, so how could they not know about loach nests? They just don't want to make money from it.

Especially during this migratory stage, the fish were actually stolen by people on the other side.

The loach fishermen were also cautious. They didn't dare to gamble on whether there were any local experts, so they concentrated on fishing for two days. But even with such caution, they sometimes suffered losses.

"Yes, over at Sancha River." Qin Dahe said easily, "Let me first state that I only discovered it the day before yesterday after tracking it, and then started fishing yesterday morning."

The four of them nodded. Making a profit for themselves for two days was nothing, but being able to inform them of the news was considered a righteous act.

"Do you have a car on the other side? Can you take us there?"

"Okay." Qin Dahe nodded, then said, "But you can't do anything. I've been roaming in someone else's nest."

The leader, Boss Zhang, had a dark face and didn't say whether he agreed or not.

Qin Dahe took the food and took his people to take the ferry. After getting ashore, he rang the big tricycle and rushed to Sancha River.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw two headlights on below and eight people fishing on the river.

After going down the slope, Boss Zhang and his men first asked who was the outsider, and then rushed up to fight.

The fish of this group of loach guys are all in the transfer box. At first glance, you can see that they are all black carp and some other fish.

The black carp were leftovers from selling during the day, and they were planning to exchange them tomorrow morning. Boss Zhang and his men were naturally angry when they saw this.

This group of people had been fishing for two days and one night, and they had no energy even though it was their shift, so they were soon knocked to the ground by four angry fishermen.

"Cena, we ourselves are reluctant to release loaches, how dare you come and cut off our source of income." "Cena, I'll kill you."

The four uncles kept cursing as they beat the man. They were so angry. If this continued, the Yuxi River would be closed for at least a few months, and it would be winter soon after that. What the hell?

It’s not that you can’t catch fish, but with the same fishing cost, you won’t make any money if you catch fewer fish, so you might as well just rest at home.

Or you can go to Waihekou to compete with others for food. It's okay if you don't make money in other people's territory, but if you make money, someone will definitely take it away from you. What a damn world.

They hated this group of people.

"Grandpa, calm down. The most urgent thing is to call people over to clear this area quickly. Call the trawlers and net workers over." Qin Dahe stepped forward to stop him.

He's not pretending to be a good person to disgust others, but he's afraid of being beaten to a pulp, so he's really cruel.

"I know, Ce Na, you are just angry."

Blocking someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.

The Yuxi River is similar to the Yangtze River. The sections of the river where fishing is allowed are fixed. The four of them are here, and a few others have not arrived yet.

"Please call someone first."

He pushed the man aside and asked Qin's father to comfort him.

Faced with the old man's puzzled eyes, Qin Dahe shook his head slightly and walked towards the loach man.

He helped Jiu Ye up, lit a cigarette for him, and then lit one for himself and took a deep breath.

"Master Jiu, it's been two days, and you've made about 20,000. You don't blame me, right?" he said lightly.

"It's okay, we are just unkind people." After so many years in the world, you have to admit defeat when it's time to do so.

Qin Dahe chuckled and said, "Let's pack up now and take the brothers with us. Let's go to the city to take a shower and have a good sleep."

"I'll stop the local fishermen, so you better hurry up."

"If they react and block you, don't blame me if you can't escape."

Looking at the young man with a cold look in his eyes, the loach man felt a little frightened. He thought that he had become familiar with them over the past two days and would show no mercy when it came time to deal with them.

Qin Dahe sneered in his heart. If he hadn't occupied someone else's nest, he would have no chance of earning more than ten thousand yuan. He would have brought people to kill them long ago.

He still wants to get away with it by destroying the local ecology. It would be better to give him a beating so that he will remember it.

He has no objection to forming the Loach Party, but don't do it in his hometown. Just go to the Yangtze River or the Yellow River.

Is it fun to bully the bumpkins from small places?
If I hadn't been more alert, the other party would have targeted me as soon as I collected the loaches. I don't know how long this nest would have lasted.

The other party will definitely not notify us after fishing, and will allow the nest to spread locally, which will have a great impact.

Now is the migration season, and various fishing seasons are coming. Local fishermen have begun to use large-mesh nets.

People in the river don't care about that and use the net to kill fish because the fish in the Yangtze River system move around a lot. If you don't make money from it, others will.

But Boss Zhang and his men are all begging locally, so they would never use a family-killing net. Even if their peers dare to use it, they will be found by them.

Seeing that several people were about to leave, Boss Zhang and his men were about to take action but were stopped again.

"That's enough. There's no law that forbids playing with loaches." He quickly held the man down.

"I'm also wrong. I'm sorry for not notifying you in time." He apologized sincerely.

In fact, there probably won’t be much impact in the next two days.

It takes time for loach nests to gather and spread. It is useless to call people over early. You can't catch the loaches that have been dumped into the river.

After two days, the predatory fish will start to spread out as they have no food to eat. It is just the right time to set up a maze around them.

With the cooperation of the trawler, we dragged two nets and caught everything.

As for the settlement area on the side, it should be empty by now.

They have caught more than 2,000 kilograms of fish just by fishing, and there will be even more in the river.

"Boss Zhang, first send someone over to cast the maze. Surround the subsidence area and this area. It will only take about ten days."

"Yeah." No matter what, they had to owe Qin Dahe a favor.

Even if he delayed reporting the news for two days, it wouldn't matter, because locals and outsiders are different.

Moreover, as an experienced fisherman, I also know that it is useless to know two days in advance. I have to wait for the fish to gather.

Several people got on the bus, and one of them wanted to take the transfer box away, so Jiu Ye quickly stopped them.

Just a transfer box and some worthless sea bass, don't move them around so they're an eyesore. It's good enough that you can move at this time.

He had no resentment towards Qin Dahe in his heart. He knew what he had done. It was not an exaggeration to say that giving birth to a son without an anus was a good thing. He was allowed to be beaten.

Fortunately, the capable young man was very particular about his work and was able to let them go.

Qin's father and the others were so hungry that they couldn't stand it any longer. It was already past six o'clock, and after the matter was settled, they started to eat immediately.

The old man gave him a thumbs up, saying that his son handled the matter beautifully.

He gave the loach man face and taught him a lesson, the timing was just right.

They didn't care about the remaining black carp and decided to give them to Boss Zhang and the others later.

The group quickly finished their meal and continued fishing.

"Thank you, young man. What's your name?"

"No need to mention your surname Qin, my home is not far from here." Qin Dahe said with a smile and began to help Qin's father and others deal with the garbage.

"You guys made a lot of money these days, didn't you?"

"I didn't actually make much money from fishing. Yesterday I caught a few pounds of knife fish with a hand-throwing net." He did not hide it.

"I'm so lucky, I have the talent to be a shipbuilder." Boss Zhang sighed.

They took seven or eight boats to the mouth of Yuxi River to look for knife fish but found none, and unexpectedly a fisherman caught several kilograms of them.

Especially this year the prices are so high, sky-high.

Fishing depends on luck. People who are lucky enough can get on the boat and get paid a little more than others. It is mysterious, but also very normal.

The longer people who make money from water work, the more superstitious they become. They have seen too many things and have to find something to believe in before they can continue to make a living from this.

"Grandpa, take these remaining mullet fish home and eat them. We caught quite a few of them."

"Forget it, just take it. You came to inform us in less than two days. I think we're indebted to you for doing me a favor." Boss Zhang shook his head.

The black carp is the fish that fishermen hate the most. Not only is it worthless, it also eats valuable fish.

The second thing I hate is river pigs. River pigs are really a luxury. Their diet includes white eels, knife fish and other precious river seafood. They are protected animals and not tasty at all.

But, although this thing is annoying, it is good-looking and likes to interact with fishing boats, which makes people laugh when they see it.

Some fishermen were careless and killed the fish as soon as they caught them. This practice continued until microchips were implanted in river pigs.

No one dares to kill Jiang Zemin openly, as they will be sent to labor camps.

About half an hour later, a small truck and a van passed by and sped along the embankment towards Jiuzi.
