Chapter 450: New Choice of Odaka
It was not until half past seven that Qin Dahe woke up, got up and stretched.

I went out shirtless in shorts. The weather is a bit hot now, so I dressed very simply.

"Son, my daughter, are daddy's muscles handsome?"

The two little guys were chattering about something, but when they heard the sound, they looked up and saw their dad posing.

He chuckled, walked up to each of them, pecked them, and then went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

There was a mechanical roar coming from the gate. I went out with the mouthwash cup in my hand. Erhu's excavator was busy at work.

The road construction has been going on for several days, especially the cement road that needs to be poured at the entrance, which needs to be repaired properly.

"Erhu, is there too much dirt?" He shouted loudly after brushing his teeth, with the foam on his mouth still not cleared.

"It's fine, what's wrong?"

"Help me build a platform next to Dr. Li's house, and I'll give you some cigarettes."

"If there's no soil, I'll ask a truck to go get it this afternoon."

"Okay." Erhu nodded. He was sure he could help with this small favor.

After brushing my teeth, I went back to rinse my mouth and wash my face, then went for a walk by the big lake. The water quality was really damn good.

Not only were 6000 young silver carp and bighead carp released, but the large silver carp and bighead carp that were not eaten when fishing were also put in.

There must be a lot of fish in it now. Wow, next year I will be able to set up nets and catch small fish in my own fish pond.

"Mom, I'll go get the dregs later. You light the fire first."

"Got it. Your second aunt and the others will be here soon."

Pull the bean dregs back and feed the fish at the same time. The crucian carp in the pond are getting fatter and fatter. It would be so cool to catch them in the wild.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, I felt full in my stomach, so I got dressed and set off on the boat. It was hot now, so it would be more comfortable to start work early.

As the diesel engine was started, the ship moved slowly.

Sitting at the stern, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep breath, I feel comfortable.

As summer approaches, the two sides of the outer river become more and more vibrant. When you reach the shade of the grave, the trees have blocked out the road and you can't see it.

Because there is no shortage of firewood due to cotton planting, people here rarely cut down trees, and some big trees are owned by others. From the beginning to the end of the village, there are trees along the river.

Two of them were seen on willow trees, mulberry trees and even pomelo trees. They were covered with sharp thorns and looked very scary.

I was sitting comfortably on the boat smoking when the phone rang. It was the fishing tackle shop in Wuxi calling and asking for silver carp and bighead carp bait and commercial bait.

Qin Dahe wrote down the order in the phone book and arranged the shipment as soon as the money arrived.

This transaction method of paying first and then receiving goods is really great. Apart from putting some funds in reserve for the goods, there will never be a shortage of money in the account.

In the second half of April, we ordered 14,000 kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp bait. As the weather got hotter, the bait sold better and better.

Adding some other income, the income is another hundreds of thousands.

The owners of fishing tackle stores have now figured out that selling silver carp and bighead carp bait is the most profitable.

It has high consumption, sells out quickly, and can also accumulate fixed fishing customers.

A normal angler may not be able to use up a bag of commercial bait weighing one kilogram in three or four days, but if silver carp and bighead carp bait is pulled out rapidly, more than ten kilograms can be used up in a day.

As long as they can catch fish, fishermen will not be stingy even if they invest hundreds of dollars a day.

Anyway, the fish that are caught can be wholesaled at the vegetable market, and places with resources will not lose money.

The collection of bean dregs has started today, and you have to make an appointment in advance to pick up the goods, otherwise the tofu shop will have sold them by the evening and will not wait for you for two days.

Because the weather is hot, the bean dregs will go bad if left overnight, so they can only be brought back in the morning and fried in the afternoon.

Qin Dahe also made an agreement with others that today would be the last time he would purchase bean dregs, and they would not be needed anymore. He also left a bag of black pine for each family as a thank you for giving them the face to sell their products.

This way of receiving goods is really too inefficient and can no longer keep up with the production pace, so the stock of fried bean dregs at home has never been accumulated.

If we collect 40,000 kilograms of bean dregs a month, the fried goods can be used to make 40,000 kilograms of bait. According to sales forecasts, the sales in May will be at least 30,000 kilograms, and at most 10,000 kilograms of finished products will be stored.

The temperature is rising in May and hot weather is just around the corner, so we have to speed up the pace of production.

If the temperature is 37 or 38 degrees, the raw bean dregs cannot be kept for two hours and cannot be fried at all.

So Qin's father contacted three tofu shops in the city's Yangtze River Market, which were large soy product wholesale workshops.

Every morning, he drove a Land Cruiser with a transfer box to pick up goods, and brought back about four to five thousand kilograms.

We will directly stock up on dry bean dregs in May, and then focus on producing silver carp and bighead carp bait in June. Together with the current inventory, we will prepare 150,000 kilograms of goods.

This 150,000 kilograms of inventory can definitely be sold in a year, and the profit it brings him is estimated to be over a million.

When he returned home, Erhu had already built the road to the entrance of the flower-making factory.

Qin Dahe got off the boat and went back to pull the trailer, then brought the bags home. My second aunt and the others immediately started preparing to make room for the roasting machine, and the soybean flour inside was ready soon.

"Auntie, Second Aunt, we'll need a bit more bean dregs tomorrow, estimated to be around 4,000 kilograms. We'll have to work harder that day, and I'll give you a 10 yuan increase in basic salary."

"Oh, that's so much." The old lady was immediately happy when she heard it. Ten yuan added to the basic salary is not a small amount.

They now have to earn about 70 yuan a day, grinding flour, frying noodles, mixing and packaging every day. The work is a bit hard, but they are motivated as long as the salary is enough.

The key is that the work is very flexible. People can go home early at noon to cook, and there is plenty of time to get off work in the morning and evening. If there is something at home, you can just go home directly.

The premise is that the production task must be completed. Sometimes when there is too much goods, they will eat something after cooking in the evening and then come back to work until the work is finished.

"Haha, let's earn more together." He said with a smile.

In the room, Yanyan was listening to music on her MP3 player and reading a book with great interest. She finally had a chance to rest today as it was a day off.

Anyway, the little guy was watched by several adults in the yard, and there were four little ones playing with him, so he was not bored at all.

"Yan'er, help me get my clothes back. I'm soaked with sweat." It was very tiring to pull back more than a thousand pounds of bean dregs. The sun was already shining brightly in the morning.

"Oh, do you want me to boil some water?"

"I don't have a fever anymore. I'm going to take a bath in the big lake and run along the lake." It's so hot, why take a hot bath?

I picked up two dried walnuts from her side and put them in my mouth. They smelled so good. I grabbed another handful and decided to eat them after swimming.

After going out, I didn’t rush to drive the boat. I fed the fish with bean dregs first.

About 30 kilograms of food is enough to feed a fish pond. If you feed too much, it will easily sink to the bottom. After fermentation, the fish will get sick easily after eating it, and it will also pollute the water quality.

Small crucian carp is relatively better, as it is a pecking fish, similar to whitebait.

But when it comes to large crucian carp weighing half a pound, their eating habits are different, and it is difficult to remove the feed after it sinks to the bottom.

Almost all powder baits, including bean dregs, have this shortcoming. The more you feed them, the easier it is for them to sink to the bottom, and the water quality will become worse and worse.

In later generations, many fish ponds began to feed floating food, which is particles that can float on the water.

His focus is on bait. Crucian carp is just raised as a side job. Dahu doesn't feed fish feed, so he just makes do with it.

If there is bean dregs in the crucian carp pond, feed them with bean dregs. If there are no bean dregs, feed them some homemade flour bait, which doesn’t cost much.

I took my clothes onto the boat, and also took my fishing umbrella, lounge chair and other things, then drove the boat to start today's pond patrol.

I paid special attention to the shallows near the farmland and threw all the pesticide bottles back into the cabin.

He also jumped into the water several times himself. The lake was so clear that he could see the conditions at the bottom directly after jumping into the water at the edge.

The water plants are a little lush, and there are also snails, clams, and even some small fish and shrimps. However, they are only found on the riverside and cannot be seen in slightly deeper places.

The four major carps have not grown up yet, so much food in the lake is wasted and all goes to the small fish and shrimps.

However, small fish and shrimps are also feed for mandarin fish. The fish raised in this natural environment must be delicious.

He thought happily that the fish in his own lake were no worse than wild fish.

After walking around, I went to the edge of the platform. This is the center of the lake and is considered to be the place with the best water quality.

I set up the lounge chair and placed the fishing umbrella on it.

I also brought a small table and put some dried fruits and cola on it. After I finish washing, I can come up and rest for a while and enjoy the summer style.

Then he took off his clothes and jumped down.

"Hiss!" The water was a little cold, but it was really refreshing.

Soak your whole body in water, and the dirt on your body will slowly fade away as you rub it with the towel.

I don’t know if I can enjoy the beach atmosphere and see beautiful women on the beach when I go to Shenzhen.

Isn’t that how it’s portrayed in TV dramas? Beaches and bikinis are easily associated together, but it’s a problem that Chinese people are not so open-minded nowadays.

After that, I just floated quietly around, but I didn’t think about diving because the water here was six meters deep.

Feeling the lake water caressing your body, looking out, you can see the surroundings at a glance under the blue sky and white clouds.

After soaking for a while, he held the edge of the platform with his hands, exerted a little force, and jumped up in a flash.

I wiped my body with a towel. The wind didn't make me feel cold, and the sun was still shining.

He picked up the Coke and took a sip, then lay down on the chair, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

"Comfortable!"

He thought happily that it would be even better if his wife came over to feed him some grapes or something.
