1349. The Vanishing Craft (5)

One person and one cigarette, the four old men were a little flattered.

Generally, boatmen will prepare cigarettes and tea for the twister, but they will prepare a pack, and they will find their own way if they smoke it.

The work of the twisters is too boring, and they often spend a day on the ship by themselves, and it is easy to get tired of beating and beating, so they like to smoke to refresh themselves.

Ao Muyang gave them the cigarettes, took out the tea, and divided a few tea bags each.

Chen Dongwa took out an old-fashioned military kettle that almost lost its paint, he only took away a tea bag, and said with a sincere smile: "This one is enough to soak for a day." ”

Ao Muyang said: "The old man is not polite, there is no shortage of this in our family, you can take it and drink it." ”

Chen Dongwa lit up the white waves and said, "Thank you, village chief, we can be strong enough to smoke this." ”

A row of fishing boats anchored at the pier, each of them got into a boat, then opened the toolbox and looked through the bow of the wooden boat with a magnifying glass.

Ao Muyang looked at it, there were a lot of guys in the toolbox, more than a dozen kinds of chisels, axes, sewing hooks, intrusions, etc., in addition to the three treasures of the twister, hemp rope, tung oil and lime.

After looking at the toolbox, he squatted down and said, "Old man, I have nothing to do here to watch you work, okay?" I don't believe you, I don't supervise you, I just haven't seen this work, I'm a little curious." ”

Chen Dongwa said with a cigarette in her mouth and a smile: "Okay, you can watch it if you want to, welcome it." Alas, speaking of which, I really hope that our fisherman's doll can be curious, and a few more people will take a look, maybe someone will be interested and can follow me to learn. ”

He sniffed and spat out his cigarette, and said: "The craftsmanship that has been passed down by Master Zu for more than a thousand years may be broken in our generation, and after our old guys die, I really don't know how to go to see Master Zu when we go underground." ”

Ao Muyang comforted him and said, "It's okay, maybe Master Zu has been reincarnated, and you can't touch it." ”

The four old men were amused by this, and an old man named Peng Nian'an said, "I hope so." ”

Ao Muyang asked: "I heard from the old clerk of our village, and now there are no young people willing to take over the work of twister? ”

Chen Dongwa shook her head: "In this era, laughing at poverty is not laughing at prostitutes." Now young people are willing to learn crafts, but they have to make money, and they don't make money. ”

Peng Nianan said: "Lao Chen, don't have any opinions, my son doesn't want to learn, he just doesn't make money." There's no way, they're spending a lot of money now, my son went on a blind date with a girl, and they asked for a house, and you said to do our job, when will you get the money for a house?

"It's a big job, if only there was a job like this every day. Another old twister named Chen Teifu said contentedly.

There are more than 150 wooden boats in Longtou Village, and basically everyone can earn about 8,000 yuan if they are distributed.

But they had to work for three months, and during this time they couldn't stop day or night.

"Pull it down, there is this life every day, isn't that beautiful to you?" Chen Dongwa smiled.

Ao Muyang smiled bitterly: "I think I'll be tired to death." ”

After two days of maintaining a ship, the twisters have to concentrate on maintaining high efficiency, otherwise the time will drag on even longer.

Chen Teifu sighed: "My hope now is to die of exhaustion on the boat and make money." The three boys in the family are not married yet, and they are still counting on scraping a layer of oil from me!"

Listening to what the old twisters said, Ao Muyang had a relative, he said: "In this way, master, you clean up beautifully tomorrow, I will find someone to put the video on the Internet for you, publicize our skills, and help you recruit apprentices, what do you think?"

Peng Nian'an's eyes widened and asked, "Put it on the net, work on the fishing net, how can you get it?"

Chen Teifu suddenly laughed, and he said: "Computer network, you said that you don't watch TV all day long? ”

Peng Nianan smoked a cigarette and pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't understand." ”

Chen Teifu also wanted to explain, Chen Dongwa shook her head and said: "It's useless for you to tell Lao Peng, he doesn't have a TV at home, and he usually either does work on the boat or goes to work in the field, how do you understand these things?"

Peng Nianan grinned, revealing a mouthful of old yellow teeth: "I have to eat." ”

"Now it's called eating on the Internet. Cheng Dajin, who had not spoken, interjected.

Chen Dongwa waved her hand and said: "Don't gossip, the village chief said to help us publicize and publicize, what a good thing, change into good clothes tomorrow and cooperate with the village chief to do it." ”

"Okay. The three nodded.

Chen Dongwa knelt on the bow of the boat and picked up the axe and knocked the boat board, he smiled at Ao Muyang and said: "Village chief, I'll tell you about it when I do it, this is called twisting seams, this is a fine job, and it is a technical job, you have to find the seams and holes on the ship, you must find them all, and one cannot be missing." ”

There was a relatively large crack on the ship, but it had been plugged before, and there was lime paste in it.

Chen Dongwa knocked around the gap with an axe, picked up a small chisel and picked it up, and pulled out all the old lime paste inside.

After picking out the lime plaster, there was some black and slimy stuff inside, and Ao Muyang asked, "Whose boat is this, and what mess is there?"

Chen Dongwa said with a smile: "A section of hemp rope, this is no problem, the rules are to use hemp rope to plug the seams." ”

He took out a new piece of rope and stuffed it in, and dipped a brush in tung oil to carefully brush it around and inside the cracks.

Ao Muyang thought that the next step was to plug the gap with lime, but this was not the case, and the old man took out the rope that he put in and chopped it into small short pieces with an axe.

After chopping it up, he dismantled the hemp rope, mixed it with lime and tung oil, and put it into something that looked like a small stone mortar and beat it.

With the continuous beating, the untied hemp silk is mixed with lime and tung oil, and gradually mixed into one into lime paste.

The old man began to beat faster, and at this time he stopped smoking to prevent the ash from falling inside. However, he did not throw away the half-smoked cigarette, but snuffed it out and put it on his ear.

After beating for a while, he tried it with his hands, then shook his head and said, "Not soft enough." ”

After beating for twenty minutes, he tried the limepaste again, and at this time the limepaste turned into plasticine, which was not sticky to the touch but was unusually soft, so he nodded and said, "All right." ”

He shoved the lime paste into the crevices, no more, no less.

Finally, he continued to brush the tung oil on it, and then took a small iron piece to cover the gap, this small iron piece was not nailed to it, but glued to it with a layer of glue, and after trimming, the gap was well blocked.

The old man wiped his sweat, took the half of the cigarette from his ear, relit it and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Okay, let's go all the way." ”
