Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 553 A boat fishing rod that can catch adults
She didn't know it was 15,000 yuan a rod; she thought all fishing rods cost 15,000 yuan, otherwise they would definitely break the barbs.

Fishing really costs a lot of money.

Since Qin Dahe started fishing with long casts and rock fishing, he has spent more than 5,000 yuan in eight days, not counting fishing rods, and one or two hundred yuan on bait every day.

There are also cable sets, accessories, and round-trip fuel costs, none of which are cheap.

The key point is that he also enjoys platform fishing. With his equipment, he could buy a house in Nanjing.

What wasn't mentioned was that yesterday I spent nearly 30,000 yuan to order a deep-sea fishing rod.

I definitely don't dare to say it now. I'll talk about it in bed tonight, that way it'll be easier to "sleep" with me.

Uncle Qing suggested buying the fishing rod, as it could be rented when going out to sea to fish on the Li family's boat. However, he felt more comfortable buying his own, so he figured he might as well spend the money.

The rod is a 1000-gram sinker action rod, and it cost three thousand five dollars. My uncle helped me exchange the foreign currency.

The heavy rock fishing rod he was using had a sinker action of only 400 grams.

The action here is different from that of a regular fishing rod. It refers to the fact that for the same length, the arc of a 1000-gram fishing rod is the same as that of a 400-gram fishing rod.

With a length of 2.4 meters, it's said to be able to catch an adult without breaking the rod. Its maximum weight is unmatched; it could even be used as a carrying pole.

When sea fishing, you can sit directly on the top of the fishing rod and reel it in. Unless it's a tuna weighing over 300 pounds, you won't be afraid of it.

Wenwen's boat rod was even more expensive, bought for $6,500.

So sea fishing is really expensive! Qin Dahe caught three big fish in Shenzhen, but the total value of the catch was only four or five thousand yuan. He spent fifty or sixty thousand yuan on fishing rods and reels, and the equipment he bought wasn't even top-of-the-line.

My mother and Yanyan have been busy ever since they arrived, tidying up the house and replacing things that needed replacing.

We took extra care in tidying up the newly purchased house.

I didn't bring many clothes. I plan to buy a few sets tomorrow and leave them here, so I can come here every year from now on.

Qin Dahe has always had a rather laid-back work attitude. Except when he is busy with production, he doesn't have to worry about running around at all.

In the morning, he even went to the beach to buy two tiger groupers that had been "bathed," one to be steamed and the other to be used in soup.

Because a fish raft cage in Nan'ao was completely damaged, more than 6,000 tiger grouper escaped, and they have started shipping them out again in the last two days.

Nan'ao here refers to a place name in the southern part of the Dapeng Peninsula, not Nan'ao Island in Chaozhou.

The two little ones, who were being looked after by Xiao Linzi, can now walk and are quite mischievous.

The three kids were causing chaos in the living room, and the eldest uncle's job was just to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't get hurt.

"Dahe, your two kids are really nimble." Auntie was overjoyed to see the two energetic little ones, and the house suddenly became lively.

"Haha, kids should be allowed to roam freely."

Since they were able to walk, the family hasn't restricted them much, and they can play freely in the yard.

Of course, the two old men had already smoothed out some of the sharp edges with an angle grinder, so it wouldn't matter if you got hit.

Whether it's cement or iron, any sharp objects should either be moved out or sharpened.

The downside of older models of children's toys is that they are mischievous, but the upside is that they are durable, resistant to beatings, falls, and viruses.

They won't go back; they're not willing to admit defeat at all.

Wearing open-crotch pants, he moved very nimbly, but was then suppressed by his older sister again, making him scream in anger.

Xiao Linzi watched his two nephews fight from the sidelines, a faint smile on his face. It was so funny.

Dinner included not only two groupers, but also a pound of wild croaker, which many fishermen consider the first delicacy they'll ever taste.

This is the top choice for a child's first time eating meat; it's tender, boneless, and delicious, and is specially prepared for children.

It's hard to buy fish now that it's closed to fishing, so Uncle Li called to help him get some when he learned that his two kids were visiting Shenzhen.

Border guards and maritime authorities can keep an eye on the sea, but there are always some daring fishermen who secretly cast their nets along the coastline. As the fishing ban draws to a close, fish prices are hitting record highs, making Uncle Li extremely anxious.

During the meal, the girl was thrilled by the two groupers.

"Brother, we'll eat seafood every day from now on!" she chuckled, wiping the grease from the corner of her mouth with a tissue. "So fresh!"

"This is nothing, just farmed fish. Next time I'll catch you a grouper to try."

"Mmm, and squid too, that's delicious."

Gan Zhu brand fermented mung bean sauce with dace is definitely on the table. It's a delicacy that Cantonese people serve to their guests. It tastes great when stir-fried with bok choy.

Even my mother praised it after eating it.

"Big sister, you can go shopping tomorrow, and then we can go out for a stroll together the day after tomorrow." Auntie smiled as she peeled fish for the little guy.

It was the first time the two kids had ever eaten seafood with a strong flavor, and they were very open to it, grabbing it with their hands.

"Okay, Rongxiang, you don't need to come. Go back to work."

"I'm the chairman now, how can I be busy every day?" The eldest uncle was also serving food to his eldest sister. It's been so many years since she came here, and even the most important work has to be put aside.

"I'm going to Window of the World the day after tomorrow, and also Dameisha Beach. I pass by the river every day to go fishing."

"This kid's so engrossed in fishing, he doesn't even know how to help you with anything," Qin's mother said, glancing at her son with a hint of annoyance.

Coming to Shenzhen to fish every day, isn't that neglecting one's proper work?

"Mom, I've been busy here too. I have to sell fishing boxes and order shrimp bricks. I've been to quite a few places lately."

"I know you too well."

"."

The most basic trust between people—at least I managed to spare some time for work.

Yan Yan chuckled to herself, "Serves you right for buying such an expensive fishing rod."

The family enjoyed a meal together happily, and the little ones didn't want to be separated, insisting on playing with Xiaolinzi.

"Let's go, how about we play again tomorrow?"

"Uh!" Qingci was definitely not having it and insisted on going downstairs, but was forcibly taken back to her room.

He glanced disdainfully at his son, who was stretched out straight. That brat only knew how to use this trick: a pat on the bottom and he'd behave.

"Hurry up and put on a diaper, don't make the new house dirty." After entering the house, Qin's mother started busying herself again.

I just peed at my uncle's house; he didn't give me any face at all.

After putting diapers on the two little ones, Qin's mother took them to the guest bedroom.

The couple hadn't seen each other for several days and were busy with something to do that evening.

As soon as he entered the room, Qin Dahe turned on the stereo and turned the music volume up a bit, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cover the sound when the battle got intense.

"Brother, I'm going to take a bath first."

"Okay, call me when you're done washing."

His clothes had already been packed away, and he was waiting in his room with a towel, listening to music.

Because the building is on a high floor, there's a breeze even if you just crack the window open a little, so it's not stuffy at all.

It's much better than summer in Anhui, so it's a good place to escape the heat or the cold.

The heat lasts a long time, which isn't very friendly to locals.
