Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 594 Imagine
When my uncle came home that evening, he immediately saw a table full of seafood.

The menu included Shi Jiugong's stewed tofu, scallion oil grouper skin, baked grouper meat, and a spicy stir-fried squid.

My aunt helped me make this. The deep-sea squid meat is very thick, and it gets tough if overcooked. Most people can't cook it well, so Yan Yan added chili herself.

Qin's mother also steamed a deep-sea stone gourd separately, for a long time, especially for her two grandsons.

"This fish belly is so delicious." The belly of the grouper is plump and juicy, and it tastes amazing when baked.

"Hehe, this fish belly sells for 700 yuan a pound on its own, it would be strange if it wasn't delicious." Qin Dahe chuckled and picked up a piece of spicy stir-fried squid with his chopsticks.

We've had our fill of grouper and the like at sea, and now I'm even craving roast goose.

"Wow, that's so expensive!" Yan Yan stuck out her tongue.

Qin's mother felt sorry for him when she heard this. This big table of food cost several thousand yuan, but since it was the Mid-Autumn Festival today, she couldn't say anything no matter how much she felt sorry for him.

"Elder sister, let me toast you. Thank you for coming to Shenzhen," the uncle and his wife said sincerely, standing up.

"Sit down, everyone. We don't do this." Not wanting to spoil the fun, she picked up her beer and downed it in one gulp.

"It must not be easy for you to venture out into the world alone, build a family and career on your own."

"The old man can't take care of you, so I'll come once a year from now on."

"Yes." The eldest uncle nodded excitedly.

Having been away from home for many years, it's impossible not to miss it, but my career is in Shenzhen, so what can I do?

In the past, it was just the three of them during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was warm and cozy, but too lonely.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion, and it is only right for the whole family to gather together for a meal.

Xiao Linzi was in a much better mood today, constantly teasing his two little nephews and feeding them fish.

"Uncle, my business has started up here, and I'll definitely be coming here quite often from now on," Qin Dahe said with a smile. "You'd better save the crown for me."

"Haha, don't worry, this car is yours."

“When you’re not here, I come over every few days to clean the house,” my aunt added.

"Okay." The family ate their meal in a lively and cheerful atmosphere, and even the two little ones became more active.

After dinner, there are mooncakes, and according to current custom, people go to the courtyard to admire the moon.

Unfortunately, apartments in big cities don't have yards, so people have to make do with what they have, with each person getting a small plot.

I had to call home to reassure the three elderly people who were left behind. They said that the four of them were eating and drinking lavishly every day, and it was indeed inappropriate to leave them at home.

I already mentioned it on the phone; I bought gifts in Hong Kong Island and will give them to them when I get back.

The eldest uncle made a phone call to Hefei, and Qin's mother also chimed in, but both of them looked rather grim when they hung up.

Grandpa said the two of them were doing well in Shenzhen, and that his younger brother was short of money to buy a car, so he asked them to help out.

It's not like they have no income. They own two houses in Hefei and a shop. They're all in their forties or fifties. Why are they still relying on their older siblings?
If it weren't for the holiday, Qin's mother would have started scolding him directly.

The eldest uncle was also unhappy. It cost tens of thousands a year. He could accept supporting his father, but he also had to buy a car for his younger brother. What kind of world is this?

From my younger brother's wedding until now, I've asked him for money every time I need to get something done.

This morning, the siblings each transferred three thousand yuan to their parents, saying they wanted them to buy an electric scooter so their parents could ride it. They felt they had already shown their filial piety, so naturally, they wouldn't agree to such a request.

The young couple, being the younger generation, couldn't bring themselves to speak, so they took their three children down to look at the moon.

The community was quite lively. People nowadays value tradition, and many even brought mooncakes down to eat.

Qin Dahe missed his children terribly while on the boat, and now, seeing the two little ones running around, he felt very happy.

"Yan'er, Qingci seems to be a little taller than Qingsong." "Yeah, three centimeters more, I measured it." Yan Yan hummed, "She drinks milk quickly and eats complementary food fast too, while your son takes forever to eat a meal."

"Hey, you're definitely going to get beaten up later."

Xiao Linzi volunteered to take his two nephews to the amusement park to ride the slides, while the couple followed behind.

"Brother, they seem to really enjoy playing here."

"what happened?"

"Will you be going to school in the city in the future?"

"We'll just stay in the countryside. At most, we'll take you to places like Shenzhen and Shanghai a few times a year. The airfare won't cost much," Qin Dahe said nonchalantly.

Children in rural areas have a closer connection to nature during their childhood, surrounded by endless rapeseed flowers, rushing rivers, and the sounds of frogs and cicadas in the countryside.

They can run around carefree, fight with the village's cats, dogs, and geese, and run around the yard as they walk.

Big cities offer more comprehensive recreational facilities and opportunities to make many friends, but these friends may not form a stable and lasting social network.

It's possible that because the other person enrolled in a tutoring class at a fixed time, or because the amusement park facilities were closed, we might never see each other again.

This doesn't exist in rural areas, where it's perfectly normal for several groups to "run wild" in different places.

While there are still people in the countryside, Qin Dahe wants his children to stay there as much as possible and enjoy their childhood.

When we grow up, we will have a childhood memory full of fun, instead of red and green slides and friends whose memories are hazy.

Anyway, he has money, and his own children definitely have more of the things that city kids have.

"Okay, whatever you say. But what if I want to go out and play too?" she said with a grin.

"Haha, you've come out with me, which is perfect for watching the kids." Qin Dahe chuckled. "I'm going fishing, you three can cook in the back."

"Mmm." She nodded with anticipation.

My brother likes to fish everywhere, so he can definitely go to many places, which is very interesting.

"Brother, when can I go to sea?"

"You also want to go to sea?"

"Yeah, just hearing you talk about how many fish you catch and how the beach is cleaner than Dameisha, I definitely want to go and have fun there."

"Hmmmm, once I make some money, I can get a yacht and go on vacation to the East China Sea."

We can simply moor the yacht on the Yuxi River. If we're willing to spend the money to install a high-powered engine, it will only take five or six hours to get from the Yuxi River to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

He had also done some research on the yacht market, and prices ranged from millions to tens of millions, depending on the configuration.

To reach the Yangtze River estuary in five or six hours while also ensuring comfort, you'd need at least a car costing eight or nine million.

Fuel consumption is also measured in tons. A high-speed yacht consumes hundreds of liters of fuel per hour, which he can't afford right now.

Qin Dahe dreamed of buying a large yacht, and now he was sailing the Yangtze River, hanging iron plates to challenge the behemoth.

As the world's third longest river, the Yangtze River must contain many giant creatures.

Some might even do what Jeremy Ward did: create their own show and challenge giant creatures in the water.

Giant sturgeon weighing over 100 jin, the ancestor of the upturned mouth, and the giant Yangtze sturgeon.

In his spare time, he would take his brothers out to sea to fish for big tuna, and he would also act as a fish finder.

Of course, all of this is predicated on having money; you still need to work hard to buy Moutai stock.
