Chapter 146 Great Rivers Flow to the Sea
Chapter 146 Great Rivers Flow to the Sea
Seeing that they didn't refuse outright like last time, Qin Yingxue knew there was hope and planned to have Bai Haijian take them out to sea, thinking that it would be a sure thing.
The next day, Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe learned that Bai Haijian had gone out to sea again, thanks to Yang Weijun who came to tell them.
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe were somewhat tempted. They didn't have much time left here and really wanted to go out to sea to see what the ocean was like.
Of course, what I really want to see is how Bai Haijian actually catches fish...
Qin Yingxue watched them and Yang Weijun leave with a smile.
This time she didn't go.
After feeding the three children, I calculated that they were almost at sea.
Qin Yingxue released Zhang San and the yacht, setting them to stealth mode, and they followed Bai Haijian's fishing boat all the way.
Since his aunt's family members were on the fishing boat, Bai Haijian did not go into the deep sea, but cast his net in the shallow water.
Seeing that the fishing nets were full of small fish and shrimp, and in large numbers, Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe were so excited that they forgot they came to see the sea and joined in the fishing.
Fortunately, Bai Haijian had the foresight to buy an extra fishing net from Zhang San as a backup.
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe shared a fishing net. Whether it was due to good luck or because the harvest was already large that day, the first net they cast brought back more than 200 jin (100 kg).
The two brothers had never seen such a large scene before, and they were so anxious that they were covered in sweat and their hands and feet wouldn't obey their commands.
Fortunately, Bai Haijian went up to help, and they finally managed to haul the fishing net up.
Seeing the various fish and shrimp jumping around in the large plastic bucket, Qin Dahe's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Haijian, how much do you think this net can sell for?"
Bai Haijian made a rough estimate and laughed, "They're all cheap fish and shrimp, but they'll still cost a few dozen yuan."
"How much?" Even Qin Dajiang was surprised.
"Fish is 6 cents a pound, pomfret is 3 cents a pound, and small yellow croaker is 2 cents a pound. You can calculate it yourselves." Bai Haijian thought they thought it was too little, so he told them the purchase price.
"One net can yield a hundred or eighty, ten nets a day can yield a thousand, ten days can yield ten thousand, and a month can yield thirty thousand." Qin Dahe has been a wholesaler with Qian Xiaofeng for so long that he is very skilled at accounting.
When Qin Dahe calculated his monthly income, even Qin Dajiang's eyes lit up.
"But that requires good weather and a fishing boat," Qin Dajiang said rationally after the initial excitement.
Bai Haijian smiled without saying a word.
I used to think that saving up for a fishing boat was very difficult, but after having my own fishing boat, one fishing boat is nothing at all.
If you're lucky, you can break even in just a few days.
But I still have to thank Boss Zhang for my fishing boat.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly for me...
In this life, he has three benefactors: the first is Uncle Song, the second is Aunt Song, and the third is Boss Zhang.
He will never forget the immense kindness and generosity shown to the three of them.
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe looked at each other. After all, they were brothers and shared the same blood. They instantly understood each other's meaning. Without wasting any more time, they began to cast and haul in their nets. It wasn't until the sun was setting and there were no more buckets of fish left on the fishing boat that they had to return.
They also learned a lesson from this experience.
The first and second nets yielded a decent harvest.
But by the third net, there weren't as many fish left.
At this time, Bai Haijian would sail his fishing boat to look for other places.
But changing locations doesn't guarantee a bountiful harvest; sometimes, you can't even catch a fish after casting your net.
Therefore, the idea that ten networks would yield a thousand is just empty talk.
I changed locations several times today and cast my net at least twenty times. It took me a whole day, and the harvest was quite good.
But Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe felt that their arms no longer belonged to them.
Also, because of the strong sea breeze, my face felt numb.
And my eyes are blurry; everything is doubled. I'm really exhausted today.
But as soon as he moored his fishing boat at the shore, Zhang San stood there with a smile, waiting.
The two brothers were full of energy again.
After unloading the large plastic containers from the fishing boat, weighing them, and calculating the cost, it was quite a hassle.
The total weight of the fish was 800 jin (400 catties), at 6 mao (0.6 yuan) per jin, for a total of 480 yuan.
1200 catties of pomfret, at 3 mao per catty, totaling 360 yuan.
1000 jin of small yellow croaker, at 2 mao per jin, totals 200 yuan.
500 jin of swimming crabs, at 5 cents per jin, totals 25 yuan.
The Qin brothers earned a total of 1065 yuan from this voyage.
Qin Dahe let out a long sigh.
Although my hands and arms felt like they didn't belong to me, I was exhausted.
But seeing how much I earned in one day, I felt it was all worth it.
Seeing that the two brothers seemed to be on steroids and looked like they were ready to succeed, Bai Haijian smiled.
I'll take a nap and see if it works tomorrow.
Bai Haijian mainly took Qin's two older brothers out to play this time, and didn't cast the nets himself many times, but still made more than 300 yuan.
We have the money for gas.
Before coming, Qin Dajiang had inquired carefully about the fuel consumption of fishing boats. After discussing it with Qin Dahe, they took out fifty yuan.
Bai Haijian quickly refused, but Qin Dahe finally said, "If you don't accept it, we won't dare to ride on your fishing boat next time we go out to sea."
Bai Haijian had no choice but to accept ten yuan as a token gesture.
Qin Dajiang wanted to give more, but Bai Haijian said harshly, "You are all my aunt's brothers, which means you are my family. If family members have to be so serious about each other, then I dare not take you out to sea anymore."
In the end, they gave up and smiled at each other.
With the income from this voyage, Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe returned and took the initiative to discuss their next plans with Qin Yingxue.
“Hai Jian has his own fishing boat. I asked him, and he said he can take us with him when he goes out to sea.” Qin Dajiang said, a thoughtful expression on his face. “Sister, I want to go back home for a while, explain things to everyone, and then come back to work with my third brother. Let’s take this opportunity to make some money.”
Qin Yingxue had previously thought that only one person would stay, but now that she heard that both of them wanted to stay, she was naturally overjoyed: "Let's do as Second Brother says."
"But we're worried about two things now," Qin Dajiang said, looking at Qin Yingxue with a serious expression. "Will our fishing trips from here affect Yanchuan? The fishing village is xenophobic. If they find out that my third brother and I are fishing with Bai Haijian, will it cause public outrage and implicate Haijian?"
When Qin Yingxue decided to let them stay, she had already come up with a plan.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, how about you move your household registration to the fishing village first?" Qin Yingxue suggested.
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe exchanged a glance, somewhat hesitant.
But thinking about how much he could earn in a day, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Won't it be a lot of trouble?"
"It's easier to get things done if you know someone. You can transfer your household registration when you no longer want to stay here."
Then we can transfer our household registration to Yandu.
Everything was going according to Qin Yingxue's plan.
