Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing
Chapter 188 Giving Fish
Chapter 188 Giving Fish
After smoking, everyone cheered up.
"I'll deliver the fish one more time and then clean up the nets. What if the nets burst and I can't take the fish back." Qin Dahe thought about it and realized that there were too many fish today.
"That's it. Hurry up and send the fishing gear and fish first." Father Qin waved his hand and everyone got busy together.
There are more than two hundred kilograms of fish again. The numbers guessed today are conservative. There are at least five hundred kilograms of fish here.
Even if the silly kid's guess of 300 pounds is off, we can use public funds to buy him a pack of cigarettes. In the end, everyone will definitely smoke one together.
Guessing that my mother and the others were asleep by now, Qin Dahe took the silly kid home with him and he could also help him carry the fish.
When they arrived at the yard, the sound of the tricycle still woke up Qin's mother. She turned on the light in the backyard in her pajamas.
"We're working so late today, how many fish do we have?" He excitedly shone the flashlight on the transfer box.
The three boxes were filled with grass carp, their fur gleaming golden under the orange light.
"I don't know the exact amount, but these three boxes probably weigh about 200 kilograms." Qin Dahe said proudly.
Good luck on the grand opening. Excluding the loach nest, this was my first fishing trip this year and it was a great success.
"Haha, I'll go cook some noodles for you guys. You must be starving."
"Wait a minute, the internet over there hasn't been collected yet. It will probably take until four o'clock."
The fish were put into the fish baskets. Both large fish baskets were filled. Qin Dahe also put the fish baskets used for fishing in the car into the water. There were also so many nets.
I hurried back, Qin's father and the others were still waiting.
It takes five people to collect the net together, so that the action is faster and less likely to be discovered by river managers.
No one can be sure when the patrols will come out at night. Now that the gates are to be opened, those who are usually "off duty" have all returned.
The five of them were all ready to collect the nets with shining eyes. Eighty nets had been put out for twenty hours, and no one could tell how many fish were in them. They even forgot their physical fatigue and started to collect the nets excitedly.
Qin Dahe started to set the net directly from the reed marsh beside him.
There is a foam on each stake of the net, which sinks under the water and can be seen with a flashlight.
If the spotlight shines from the edge, it will not be visible due to the reflection.
"Fuck, so much stuff." The first net was a shrimp cage, which was almost filled with river shrimps and miscellaneous fish, at least two or three pounds.
However, the fish were kept in the net for too long and some of the smaller fish died.
Fish like whitebait and black carp need to swim at high speed to stay active, and they will easily die if they lose their space to move in the net.
There are also some small crabs and stone crabs. There are also crabs in spring, which are considered river crabs and are much cheaper.
Hairy crabs can only be caught in July and August at the latest. The colder the weather, the more expensive they are, but also the tastier they are.
These things together can be considered top-notch miscellaneous fish, but there are a lot of shrimp cages today, so I don’t know if these miscellaneous fish can be sold.
Erhu and the others also started shouting and yelling, saying that pulling in the net was more exciting than fishing, as it was full of goodies.
When Qin Dahe arrived at the big cage, he saw a lot of fish in it, even a grass carp weighing more than four kilograms.
I collected fish along the way, and the more I collected, the happier I felt. I even caught a white eel.
White eels are not active in spring, so you are lucky to catch one.
"Dahe, I caught two mandarin fish. Do you have any?"
"I got one, haha."
The net was cast very quickly, but it was slow to pull it back in. It took several people a long time to pull the net back in.
Then they started unloading the goods. There was no time to sort them at this time, so they were all poured in at once. The larger ones like mandarin fish and grass carp were packed in a separate transfer box, while the small fish and white eels were left alone for now and taken back to deal with them slowly.
Eighty nets, even those professional net workers would not have so many. Drying and repairing the nets every day is a lot of work, and collecting the nets is even busier.
The Yuxi River is not anyone's private river, so it's easy for it to be stolen if there is so much water in it.
A rough calculation shows that these fishing nets have made me about a thousand yuan today. There are a lot of valuable goods in them, including three or four pounds of black carp.
The river crabs in the big trap are quite big. Although they are cheap, they cost about 30 to 40 yuan per catty. If you collect enough, you can get 5 or 6 catties.
The six transfer boxes were filled and lifted onto the tricycle and stacked in two layers. The fishing net was then sent on top, and the tricycle was completely full.
At this time, no one had time to clean up the fishing nets, so they could only pile them there.
Fortunately, there were two vehicles. Two people sat on the tricycles and the two vehicles rushed back to the village one after the other. Even though everyone was sleepy, they felt very happy.
When we got to the yard, we took down the nets and piled them in the corner.
"Don't run away, let's sort the fish first and go to Jiuzi to sell them tomorrow." Qin Dahe turned to look at the child: "Come to my house at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will go to the city."
"Okay." The silly kid nodded with a smile. He made money again today.
The four little ones in the family also came over, and Sang Biao even tried to fight with the hairy crabs in the basin, but was directly driven away.
Qin Dahe threw two small fish to them to eat and left them alone.
Everyone started to sort, and the goods purchased online were very mixed.
There were eight mandarin fish, eleven black carp, and at least twenty or thirty grass carps that could be sold, and they were thrown directly into the big fish cage in the small pond.
The young black carp, silver carp and bighead carp were thrown directly into the pond. They could not be eaten and no one cared about such a small amount of food.
The river crabs are packed in a special basket, and the miscellaneous fish are divided into portions.
Most of the miscellaneous fish are dead now. Let me go to the Limin Supermarket to sell some tomorrow. The miscellaneous fish in the river are still pretty good. I think someone should want them at three or four yuan a piece.
They each took several portions for themselves. Qin Dahe, for example, kept some for his father-in-law's family, his second uncle, and Mr. Huang from Limin Supermarket. Erhu and Tiedan were the same way. It was nice to give away cheap things as favors. A few river fish and some small crabs were quite rare.
The last big thing is river shrimp, more than ten pounds of river shrimp, and a big oxygen pump is directly put in.
Even if the price of river shrimp dropped, it was still worth four or five hundred yuan. Adding river crabs and those fish, the net profit was over a thousand yuan.
As for the amount of fish, it’s hard to estimate now, but it’s definitely at least 500 kilograms.
It was already past four o'clock when everything was done. If we delayed any further it would be almost dawn.
Qin Dahe yawned. "Let's eat first. I'm hungry and sleepy."
"Walk, walk, eat. I can't stand being hungry."
Everyone went into the house and started eating noodles. Qin's mother even fried a plate of salty beans and added lard and chopped green onions to the noodles, making them taste delicious.
The last meal out today was at around five or six in the evening, and everyone had a good appetite.
"This time I can get at least 2,000 to 3,000. Grass carp is cheap, otherwise I could get more."
"Let's go fishing for herring next time." Erhu grabbed a bowl of noodles and went to buy some noodles. He was really hungry.
"Let's try after this wave of fishing and make a nest for herring, but it's highly unlikely to make money. I'll tell you that in advance."
Father Qin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Help me build a herring nest and try. You guys can fish as much as you want. It's okay if I don't make money."
Unfortunately, this idea was suppressed.
"There are so many things to do at home, and we are also busy working in the fields. Where are you going to fish?" Qin's mother said unhappily.
Upon hearing this, the old man could only eat dejectedly and wait until he was free.
But my son is by my side and can't run away, so there are plenty of opportunities.
After dinner, the friends went back to sleep. Qin Dahe went to wash himself before going up to the attic.
I got into bed and saw my sweet-smelling wife murmuring and sleeping soundly.
After touching his round belly, he fell asleep peacefully.
At ten o'clock the next day, the sun was shining brightly and a warm spring breeze blew in from the attic.
After being woken up by his wife, the drowsy Qin Dahe stretched out, pecked her happily, and then got dressed and went to wash up.
My arm is swollen and my wrist hurts a lot. I guess everyone feels the same.
"Brother, are we going to the city later?"
"Well, you need to prepare 5000 yuan in cash for me. Do you have any at home?"
"Yes, there are more than 6,000." Yanyan went to get it immediately after hearing it.
After he finished washing up and went back to get the money, the little girl asked him what he wanted the money for. The main point was trust.
"I'm going to buy a refrigerator and some other things. I just can't be bothered to find a car to bring them back."
"Oh."
The two of them now have more than they can spend every month's salary, but the girl still trusts her man unconditionally and gives him the money without any hesitation.
Then they started to move the fish. The back of the tricycle was quite long, just enough to hold six transfer boxes stacked two layers high. They secured them with ropes and took the kid to Jiuzi City.
The sun was shining brightly along the way, and the spring breeze was blowing gently. The two were in high spirits, and they caught a lot of fish to sell.
The motorcycle tricycle was just not powerful enough. Together with the fish and water, it weighed at least one ton, and with two grown men carrying it, it ran very slowly.
Fortunately it was a motorcycle tricycle, otherwise it would have broken down long ago if it was a battery tricycle.
We started running at 10 o'clock and didn't pass the roll-on/roll-off ship until 11 o'clock. It is faster to take the roll-on/roll-off ship here, while it is a long way around to take the Yangtze River Bridge.
Although large tricycles are not allowed on roll-on/roll-off ships, motor tricycles are considered personal vehicles and are not subject to the regulations.
Everyone saw so many grass carps in the tricycle with incredibly beautiful fur, and they started to talk to them and ask about them. It was very boring on the boat anyway.
Qin Dahe took the cigarette handed to him by a passerby and said proudly that all the fish were caught, which caused everyone to exclaim in amazement.
"Look, there are hook marks on the fish's mouth, but it was caught from the Yuxi River."
"Can you catch so much by fishing?"
A quick look shows that it weighs several hundred kilograms. The large and small oxygen pumps are installed in each transfer box, which looks very pleasing.
"Of course, with the five of us fishing for twenty hours, it's normal to encounter so many bites."
The silly kid also got a cigarette nearby, but he had difficulty speaking, so he kept silent and just listened quietly to his elder brother's saliva flying.
"Here, give me one. How much is one pound?"
The bored drivers who were waiting saw that the fish had good fur and wanted to buy it. However, grass carp in the river are not so easy to buy and it is easy to be cheated if you go to the vegetable market.
"Haha, three yuan per pound, but I didn't weigh it." Qin Dahe said regretfully.
The price difference isn't that much, just for fun.
"I have one. I'll sell this one to you first." The owner of the small truck transporting fruits next to him took out his scale and asked him to weigh one for him first.
