Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 595 Is catching fish really that valuable?

The eldest sister came out when she heard the commotion and was quite happy to see her family.

"Mom, you're back." She took Qingsong from her and bounced up happily.

My aunt always favors her nephew, saying, "The little guy's gotten chubby."

"Of course, I eat seafood in Shenzhen every day. I brought some for you this time too." The mother turned to her son and told him to hurry up and get the things.

"Big sister, this is tuna fillet, just pan-fry it until it's lightly cooked. There's also grouper and other seafood, they taste really good when cooked." Since it was his eldest sister, Qin Dahe would definitely take as much as possible.

I took a piece of bluefin tuna, a piece of giant grouper, and a giant deep-sea squid.

“This tuna costs several hundred yuan per pound, so give Binbin plenty to eat.” As she spoke, Qin’s mother picked up her eldest grandson. “Grandma also brought you chocolates and a remote-controlled car.”

"Thank you, Grandma." The little guy's eyes lit up when he heard about the remote-controlled car.

"Several hundred yuan per pound! That's more expensive than beef." The older woman looked curiously at the frozen tuna.

"Of course, restaurants sell it for one or two thousand a serving. You should try something new."

"Put the food in the fridge quickly, we'll eat it in the next couple of days, the fridge at home can't freeze seafood."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone went back to their cars.

There's no time to waste here; we still need to send the seafood back.

As he started the car to go home, the scenery on both sides of the river was extremely familiar, giving Qin Dahe a sense of peace.

When the car arrived home, my father-in-law and his wife greeted us as soon as we entered the courtyard.

He didn't even glance at his daughter and son-in-law, but held the twins with obvious affection.

"My dear grandson, I've missed you so much, it's been a month since I last saw you."

"I dream about it every night, wondering if things are going well in Shenzhen." The mother-in-law looked him over from left to right and noticed he had gained a little weight, which put her mind at ease.

I held on tightly, afraid it would run away again.

The two little ones weren't shy at all, especially since the yard was their "home".

With the four guardians gathered, the two dogs wagged their tails like electric fans, and the fried noodles pounced directly on Qin Dahe, their barks filled with "whimpers".

"You're so dirty, sweetie, I'll feed you tonight." He patted the dog's head; even the dog had gotten fat. *Tsk*

With improved living conditions, elderly people left behind in rural areas are now willing to feed their dogs, and the black bears are practically turning into gas cylinders.

"Mom, bring the things down. I'm taking the fish to Hanwa and the others, otherwise they'll spoil."

"Okay, deliver it quickly."

Qin Dahe nodded and took the gift first.

Each of the three brothers had a pair of sunglasses worth two hundred dollars and a box of bird's nest, all bought from Hong Kong Island; they weren't particularly valuable items.

It mainly consists of seafood: two pounds of fish fillets and a grouper.

We also prepared a portion of seafood for my second uncle's family.

Then he hopped on his brightly colored motorcycle scooter and started delivering goods, with his first stop being Hanwa'er's house.

When he arrived at the place, the gate was open, so he rode straight in.

To the left of the courtyard is a fishpond, and there's a platform made of stone slabs, probably for washing things.

There's a brood of chickens on the right, and they're kept very tidy; it's much cleaner than before.

Hanwa came out of the house when he heard the sound of the motorcycle, and was naturally pleasantly surprised to see Qin Dahe.

"Big brother."

"Take your things first. Bao'er's due date is almost here, right?" "Yes, I'm going to the city to prepare for delivery the day after tomorrow." After taking the things, Bao'er, who was heavily pregnant, came out.

"Big brother."

"Hehe, your belly is so big now." Qin Dahe said with a smile. "Here's a box of bird's nest, as well as tuna and grouper. The tuna can be fried and eaten."

"I still have to go to Erhu's place. I'll come over after dinner tonight."

"Okay, drive carefully." Bao'er happily took the things.

Once Qin Dahe had gone far away, the couple immediately unpacked the package.

"This fish is still frozen. Tuna is really rare."

"And sunglasses too!" The simple-minded boy happily tried them on.

He also wears sunglasses when he rides his bike. They're cheap ones that cost five yuan each, and they're pitch black, so he can only wear them when the sun is strong.

These high-end items don't look cheap, and the vision is very clear when you wear them.

On the other side, Qin Dahe drove around delivering the items, and everyone knew he had returned.

While Li Minchao was bragging, many people pulled him aside to chat. Some were thinking about going to Shenzhen to work and asked him if there was any repatriation policy there.

Going out to work has become a trend, especially for couples. The man goes to construction sites and the woman works as a housekeeper, earning 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year, which makes many people envious.

This year, cotton is priced at 3.3 yuan per acre, which means ten acres of land would only yield about 1 yuan per acre. That doesn't even include the cost of pesticides and fertilizers, so farming is becoming increasingly insufficient.

Anhui people mainly work in Beijing and Shanghai; not many have been to Shenzhen.

After Qin Dahe finished delivering the goods, he had nothing else to do, so he chatted with everyone about the situation over there. He had also talked about these topics with Awei and the others.

Making money is definitely possible. Men who work at docks or construction sites can earn 1,400 to 1,500 yuan a month, and sometimes even 2,000 yuan.

The woman went to work as a waitress in a restaurant, and the salary was not much different from that of a manual laborer, with the beverage bonus being the main source of income.

“Prices and rents in Shenzhen are cheaper than in Wuwei, but repatriation is a problem, so I can only work in the suburbs.”

"The security situation over there is a bit worse."

Shenzhen doesn't really check temporary residence permits anymore, but you can't always be unlucky and encounter some serious security incidents. Plus, the cost of living in the city center is high, which isn't very friendly to ordinary workers.

"Next time, can you take us on a trip?"

“Yes, if you want to go there again, we’ll go with you.”

Those present were somewhat tempted; leaving the child in their hometown and the couple working there for a year could earn them more money than going to Beijing.

The biggest problem with Beijing and Shanghai is the high cost of living. If you want to save money, you have to work hard. The living conditions are not even as good as the toilets in your hometown. The prices in Shenzhen are actually cheaper than in the county town.
"I always fly there, are you guys going to be willing to pay for plane tickets?" Qin Dahe curled his lip, thinking that he was crazy to bring people to work, what if problems arose and they blamed him?

Even if the first and second wives asked, it would be impossible.

When everyone heard that they would have to fly back and forth, they had to give up the idea, but at least they had some idea and wouldn't be completely clueless.

Qin Dahe took out a pack of Heisong cigarettes, lit one for himself, and took a deep breath. The kind of social interaction among familiar people in his hometown was actually quite comfortable.

In big cities, you encounter strangers as soon as you step outside.

"You've got some nerve, huh? You've even boarded a plane." Old Huang said with a smile as he took the cigarette.

"What's an airplane? When I make a lot of money, I'll buy a big yacht and moor it down here." He pointed to the area below the dike, saying that he could use his own water jetty as a dock by adding another section, all it would take to fill a concrete pile.

He started bragging about his time at sea and even showed people pictures of catching giant tuna.

"A single fish is worth 40,000 yuan, and if it's caught in a fishing net, it's worth 100,000 yuan."

"Wow, this fish is worth that much?"
