Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 554 Qin Dahe, who devoted himself to the cause
Qin Dahe was also preparing the bills inside the house. He had been neglected lately, and his expenses had been quite high. He would have to go over the accounts with his wife later.

First, I listed out all the expenses for buying fishing gear.

The cables used here are all Toray carbon fiber and braided cables. Depending on the braid number, the price is between 70 cents and 1 dollar per meter.

The carbon fiber cable is the most expensive, costing one yuan per meter. Because of its relatively hard material, it is not only sensitive to signals but also less prone to breakage. It is specifically designed for long-distance projection, and I bought 600 meters of it.

Dyneema was cheaper, but it still cost over four hundred yuan.

The fishing line alone costs so much, and two sets of long-casting rods cost 30,000. The 10,000 from Uncle Qing is a favor, and I'll have to pay it back on the boat later.

There are also two sets of Mammoth sun protection clothing for 2700, and sunglasses for 600.

I spent a lot on bait. I came for eight days and fished for five days, with a three-day break in between. The bait cost me a little over six hundred yuan.

He doesn't care about the cost when fishing; he'll buy any live bait he sees for sea fishing immediately.

Finally, there's the Dinghai fishing rod, priced at 29,000 yuan, which looks a bit shaky.

After finishing writing the bill, I lit a cigarette with a heavy heart, knowing I was going to get yelled at later.

I spent over 60,000 yuan on fishing gear during my eight-day stay in Shenzhen, which is shocking.

We're setting sail on the 15th, and the boat fare is over ten thousand dollars.

We'll need to buy the fishing line separately for the sea trip. I'll go with Uncle Qing in a few days. It costs 1.5 yuan per meter, and we'll need to bring 3000 meters for each trip, which will cost 4500 yuan.

hiss!
The thought sent a chill down his spine. How many times would he have to "pay his dues" that night? Damn it.

With a nervous heart, I took a hasty shower.

After entering the house, Yan Yan was about to ask him to help blow-dry her hair, but before she could even untie the towel, he pushed her over.

The music was still playing in the bedroom, masking the joy of the couple's reunion.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" She glanced at the man with her beautiful, sparkling eyes, enjoying the treatment of having her hair blown dry.

Thinking back to what just happened, my face flushed slightly; it was so exciting.

Qin Dahe didn't answer, but diligently worked on blow-drying his hair from every angle.

I have to appease my wife today.

"Don't blow-dry your hair too much, or it will become dry and yellow."

Feeling that she was done, she prepared to clean up, but was picked up again.

"Brother, don't be in such a hurry."

She spoke demurely, but she was anything but honest, actively asking to get close.

Thinking to himself, "My brother must have been really bored lately, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry."

Under the lights, the sound from the speakers grew increasingly urgent.

It didn't calm down until 11 o'clock.

With most of the mattress moved, Qin Dahe lay on his back on the bed like a dead dog, struggling even to lift a finger.

Five times! My back is about to break!

After a while, Yan Yan stood up, grinning foolishly, and gave him a sweet peck before starting to clean up her man.

"Brother, you are so kind."

"Hey, light me a cigarette."

"Okay." The woman was most obedient at this time, handing the cigarette to the young man and lighting it with a lighter.

After serving her husband, she hummed a little tune as she went to wash herself.

"What? You spent so much money?" Yan Yan stared wide-eyed at the bill in her hand from the bed.

"I just wanted to try a long-range shot," Qin Dahe said awkwardly, then kissed him again.

"Don't try that on me." She shoved the jerk away with disgust. "You spend so much money without even consulting me. You think you're so great?"

"Oh, I made money too. Someone offered me 1,500 for that grouper but I didn't sell it. I also sold the sea eel I caught on the first day for 800."

"Get lost, it's only a few dollars." I couldn't help but punch him.

The further down the bill went, the angrier she became. A fishing rod cost 30,000 yuan—it was made of gold!

"You can't just use me and then throw me away. I'm giving you my life today."

The girl blushed. No wonder he was working so hard tonight; he was waiting for her here.

Her brother was a big earner, so she couldn't say too much, but she certainly couldn't just let it go like that.

Otherwise, they'll never have enough money to spend in the future, and how will they manage to live?

Thinking about how she treated a three-thousand-yuan bag like a treasure, she couldn't help but feel wronged.

The more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt, and my eyes welled up with tears.

"Why are you crying? I'll spend less money in the future and take you to Hong Kong to buy bags." Seeing his wife crying, Qin Dahe was a little anxious and made promises as if they were free.

"You're such a spendthrift! Your mother can't even afford to change her clothes, yet you spend tens of thousands on a fishing rod."

“I already subsidized them, what else can I do if I don’t spend the money?” He helplessly pulled his wife into his arms.

I've really gone to great lengths to subsidize my parents. They'll definitely have over 100,000 yuan in their pockets this year, and I even paid for my dad's car myself.

"I don't care, but you can't spend money recklessly anymore." Wiping away her tears, she looked up at her husband with a pitiful expression.

Wow, this girl's a total drama queen.

Qin Dahe could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her expression, but there was nothing he could do; he had indeed gone a bit too far.

"I'm going out to sea with Uncle Qing on the 15th. Would it be alright if we spent some money then?"

"That's fine, you can't go back on your promise to Uncle Qing, but you're not allowed to spend more than..." She tilted her head and calculated for a moment, then continued, "...no more than fifty yuan." "."

Oh no, it's not allowed to exceed fifty yuan, and you can only buy dead bait. Strategy.

"Could you give me a little more?"

"You're making money by selling fish, so just catch more and sell them." Seeing that Qin Dahe was about to speak, she threatened him directly, "If you say anything more, I'll tell my mother."

If Qin's mother knew, she would definitely give him a beating; no matter how rich you are, you shouldn't spend money like this.

"Okay, but there's good news too. I've transferred to my uncle's company. My monthly salary is over ten thousand, and there are bonuses for each project." He felt he needed to change the subject, as continuing the conversation would only lead to more "unequal treaties."

"Hey, how dare you take my uncle's money?"

"Hehe, QQ offered me a 300,000 yuan annual salary and 800,000 yuan in stock options, but I didn't go. It must be worth that price."

Skipping over the topic of spending money on a fishing rod, Qin Dahe breathed a sigh of relief and quickly tried to appease his wife.

Fishing can be fun even with limited funds, and there are ways to enjoy it even if you don't have much money.

At worst, we can just go and harvest some oysters every day.

The next morning, we ate breakfast at my aunt's house again, and then a group of us went out to buy clothes and other supplies.

I went to Futian Commercial Street, where the clothes are moderately priced and suitable for casual wear.

"Clothes in Shenzhen are even cheaper than in Wuwei!" Qin's mother exclaimed with delight after visiting two stores.

It's true that rural people are reluctant to spend money, but they can still recognize the fabric of mid- to low-end clothes.

The same quality fabric would cost at least 150 or 160 yuan in Wuwei, but here you can bargain down to 70 or 80 yuan, or even cheaper.

"Sister, people who buy clothes in Wuwei all source their goods from Guangzhou. The clothes here are much cheaper." My aunt smiled and picked out two pieces of clothing.

Since her uncle started earning more and more money, her clothing style has also improved, and she hasn't come to the shopping street to buy clothes for a long time.

But since I'm with my older sister, I'll definitely have to buy a few things.

Xiao Linzi followed obediently behind the group. He had a day off today, so he came out for a stroll.

He held one of the little ones' hands with each hand, and when they couldn't walk anymore, Qin Dahe would carry them.

However, the brother and sister didn't care at all, and instead held Xiao Linzi's hand with great interest.

Its big, dark eyes kept looking around; there were so many new sights today, it couldn't get enough of them.

At only ten months old, it walks with such vigor that passersby find it adorable.

The chassis isn't very stable, and it often falls over. Sometimes Xiao Linzi can't catch it in time.

Even if he falls twice, it's no big deal. Qin Dahe just steps forward, dusts off his bottom, and that's it. He's not delicate at all.

The three of them went on a shopping spree, buying more than ten short-sleeved shirts alone. They could take them back to their hometown if they couldn't wear them all, which was incredibly cheap.

They also bought two sets for Qin Dahe.

He was a wild boar-like man, so naturally he wouldn't buy clothes when he went out. He just had three sets delivered by express so he could wear them in rotation and then didn't care about them anymore.

I don't even have socks; I'm still wearing slippers when I go out.

Qin's mother scolded him the whole way for his slovenly appearance, saying he should remember to buy sun-protective clothing, but he hadn't even had time to buy two pairs of socks.

Further on, there was a leather goods store, where the two women went in to buy some things for the family members who stayed behind.

Qin's father and father-in-law each received a pair of leather shoes, costing over eight hundred yuan.

Men, as the face of the family, usually have a high-end outfit to wear when going out on business.

I also bought a set of clothes for Yanyan's mother; my hands were almost bursting with bags. No woman could resist such a large-scale shopping spree.

"Dahe, could you take this to the car?"

"okay."

There were quite a lot of things, more than a dozen bags that were hard to carry, and I struggled to get to the parking lot.

Today, my uncle hitched a ride to work with Uncle Qing because there were a lot of people shopping and one car wasn't enough, so my aunt drove her Mercedes-Benz.

It's unbelievable that a chairman of a rising star in the capital circle has fallen to this level.

After putting the things away, she went back to take care of the child.

The tide was at 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. today, so he couldn't go fishing and decided to go shopping with his family instead.

Uncle Li and his gang are awesome; they managed to catch two waves of fish today, it was so much fun.

Qin Dahe was also a little itchy, but he had to give up on the idea since his family was visiting on the first day.

It took two trips to deliver the goods. He bought a lot of things today, including pots, pans, and dishes. He even drove his W140 to pick them up.

We had lunch at a Cantonese restaurant, which wasn't far away.

This time, my aunt treated everyone to a welcome dinner.

Qin Dahe enjoyed the Cantonese dishes on the table. He had a more eclectic palate and offered a few compliments, which pleased his aunt.

The meal cost over three thousand yuan; I just wanted to treat my older sister's family well.

Roast goose and poached chicken are must-orders, along with braised beef tongue, bok choy, braised grouper belly, and poria cocos and pigeon soup.

The pigeon soup was absolutely amazing. Each person had a bowl, and Qin Dahe could tell from the first sip that it was a slow-cooked, nourishing soup.

Having worked hard five times last night, I went and ordered two more cups. They tasted really good.

The two elders exchanged a glance, both knowing what was going on. It's normal for young people to feel the warmth of separation after marriage, and this is a time when their tempers are running high.
