Chapter 248: Full
At the wharf of Bluewater Town, Pei Yao and Chen Jiacheng, plus Zhao Ting and Yan Xiaota, were all on the shore at this time watching their customized big boat go to the sea to test the water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This boat is painted with the varnish that Pei Yao boiled here, and there are not many pine trees used to collect pine oil here, but there are also them, otherwise where did the pine oil torches come from at this time.
She sent the varnish to the shipbuilding workshop, and asked that in addition to using this varnish, even the joints between the wooden planks of the hull should be glued and stuffed with a mixture of varnish and sawdust, and then a layer of varnish and anti-rust iron sheet was placed on the outside of the ship, so that the simplest but most practical big ship that could be made at this time was produced!
It is said that the big boat is actually about four or five times larger than the small fishing boat used by the fishermen now, after all, if it is too big, there is no way to paddle the oar, and the current process has no motor, no steam engine, only manpower, so the size of the hull is limited.
The dock was full of people, and everyone was concerned about the slow launch of this large ship, which was not pretty, but full of security.
The chief of the small fishing village on the side craned his neck and looked into the boat, and saw that there was not only a small cabin in the boat, but also a flat deck that was different from the sunken bottom of the small fishing boat.
He looked at it strangely, turned his head and asked Chen Jiacheng: "Little Brother Chen, what does it mean that there is a big pillar standing on the deck, and do you still need to hang a flag on it?" ”
This small fishing village in more than a corner is still less knowledgeable, and there are a few horizontal names on this pillar, which are used to raise sails, such as Gu Fengguo, there is a relatively atmospheric fleet of naval soldiers, cruising back and forth between Liguo, an island country closest to the country, and that fleet is a big ship with sails!
It was much larger than this boat, and if you wanted to row away, you had to let two rows of dozens of sailors on both sides of the deck swing their oars at the exposed holes on the side of the boat, so that the big ship could move quickly.
Chen Jiacheng pointed to the sails that had not yet been hung up under the pillars of the ship: "This is the sail, when the wind rises and the sail is smooth, the sail will be raised, and then there will be no need to row, and you can quickly reach the destination with a tailwind." ”
The captain's eyes lit up, and he clapped his palms and exclaimed excitedly: "Yes, what a clever way, wouldn't it be that our boat can also be equipped with a small sail, and it will save half of the effort to take a downwind boat when the time comes!" ”
"It can be, but the boat generally doesn't go far, and it is more troublesome to raise and lower the sails, and there is a lot of upside down, and it is almost rowed to the place, and this pillar is more difficult, so it must be installed relatively strongly, and there are many pillars below to connect the pole and the hull together, which is a more troublesome process."
"Well, too." The lieutenant nodded and said, "But the sail needed for a small boat is also small, and it is enough to install a small ride, and it is not sleepy..."
Before he finished speaking, many onlookers let out a huge cheer with the sound of the ship's hull successfully falling into the water!
"Good!"
"Good!"
The crowd of onlookers was excited, because several young boat owners said that if there was no problem with the first launch of the sea trial, they would invite 20 men to go up for a test ride.
For fishermen, there is nothing more tempting than the boat, even if it is not their own boat, it is good to sit in a circle and experience it!
After checking that there was no problem with the hull, Chen Jiacheng and Zhaoting took the lead, and took the two girls to the bow of the boat first, and then the agreed twenty men and six oarsmen sailors, plus a few better villagers from the small fishing village such as the captain got on the boat, the sailors on the boat shouted, the shoulder muscles encouraged the waist to exert force, and the paddle rocker held in his hand began to push, and the boat also changed from slow motion to gradual acceleration, and the brand-new big ship sailed away from the dock!
Amid the cheers of the crowd at the docks, the big ship got faster and faster, slowly becoming small in sight on the sea, and soon became a small black dot.
The speed of the boat is really not slow, after all, the big boat with six people rocking the oars is not much effort under inertia, and the strength of many people is also great, so it is naturally fast.
The lieutenant took a few good fishermen in the village to enjoy the sea scenery that passed quickly for a while, and when he saw several bundles of brand-new fishing nets in the cabin, his hands were itching!
The eldest son couldn't bear it, so he ran to the bow of the boat where Pei Yao and the others were and asked, "Can we cast a few nets of fish?" ”
Pei Yao is also very interested, it can be said that she is interested in everything in the sea, and she can raise a boat at home, so naturally she can't miss the fun of casting nets and fishing with her own hands!
He responded excitedly: "Of course you can!" ”
Maybe the ship went farther, or maybe there were many creatures in the sea, and the environment was not damaged by humans, so the net was not empty for a few nets!
Li Chang has not gone to the sea to fish for many years, and at this time he couldn't help but rob the young man's work, and personally cast a net, sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, he really didn't catch a lot of fish in a net, and there are a lot of miscellaneous seafood such as large and small sea fish and turtle squid.
Waiting for a few juniors to help pull up the fishing net, the chief rubbed his waist and shook his head and smiled at Pei Yao and the others: "It's not okay to be old, this greed is useless, and the body is useless!" ”
Of course, Pei Yao couldn't follow him, and retorted in a crisp and pleasant voice: "Uncle Li is always strong, you are Lao Jiang, look at this large pile of seafood, the future generations can't compare!" ”
A group of young men on the boat have eyes, no one and an old man compete for this matter, respecting the old is a cultural tradition, and they all smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, we all have to learn from your old experience, and strive to be able to catch more than half of your contentment!" ”
The lieutenant was amused by everyone and laughed, and with this group of posteriors, he felt a lot younger!
Looking at the various seafood goods on the deck that received the water tank in the ship, the captain said: "Pei Yao, there is no shortage of squid caught this time, and the squid shreds you made are enough to produce a batch of goods." ”
Pei Yao wanted to eat barbecue squid, but she never found any traces of squid on the fishing boat that came back from the village to sea, so she asked directly, but it turned out that it was because the thing was fishy and smelly, and it would also spray ink to make it black and dirty, so the fishermen thought that it was poisonous, and everyone would throw it back into the sea if they caught it.
I heard that she wanted that soft and disgusting octopus, the villagers naturally brought her a lot back, and all kinds of tricks to eat squid were passed on again, in addition to the fishermen making a small profit, Pei Yao also gained a lot, eating squid until she couldn't finish eating, and the simple villagers kept sending it to her.
In order not to waste it, she and Zhou studied the shredded squid that could be eaten directly for almost a month, and of course most of the squid was dried into dried squid, adding another variety to the dried seafood.
Pei Yao was excitedly picking up lobsters in the seafood at this time, and when she heard the chief talking to her, she didn't look back and said: "Yes, now the dry goods and salted fish and preserved fish have been almost stockpiled, and when this batch of squid is ready, it will be transported back to the carriage!"
