Chapter 231: Shipbuilding Begins
After a long journey, the group finally arrived in Quang Phuoc Province at the end of the year. The temperature in Quang Phuoc Province is much higher than that in Beijing, and even though it is the coldest month of the year in 14, you only need to wear a cotton coat.
On April 28, two days before the Chinese New Year, everyone settled in the shipbuilding workshop of the Cui family.
Next to the shipbuilding workshop, there is an artificially dug river that connects to the sea. Every time a ship is built, it enters the sea from here. At this time, there is a boat in the river, slowly heading towards the sea.
"This is, sea trials?" The crowd, who didn't have time to tidy up, was immediately attracted by this scene and stopped to watch. The ship was tens of meters long, the sails were not hung up, but the height of the mainmast was also tens of meters.
Is this a sea vessel? Is that what they are here to build such a ship?
It wasn't until the ship disappeared from sight that everyone slowly came back to their senses, and they silently answered their questions in their hearts: they had come to build ships, to build ships that could cross the sea, to visit overseas countries!
"If this ship is successful, let's not spend any effort, just get on the ship, haha......" Li Xiaohua talked and laughed with everyone, and everyone said, this is not bad!
That said, but everyone started their work the day after they arrived at the shipbuilding workshop.
Along the way, everyone studied and communicated every day, and drew one after another about the design of the boat, and now, it can be slowly selected and adjusted in combination with the actual situation.
The first thing they did was to meet and communicate with the craftsmen of the original Cui family shipbuilding workshop.
Sun Siyuan's most unexpected thing was that she met the master who changed her house in Pingdong Town. "You are old, not only to change the house, but also to repair the ship?" For this master, Sun Siyuan admired it very much, looking an ordinary old man, but early in the morning used space three-dimensional geometry, she didn't understand, thought that the craftsmen here would, and later when she implemented the three-dimensional space Cartesian coordinate system, she recalled this incident and understood how innovative it was.
"Little old man Cui Siji, I have seen the princess." The old master bowed his hand and bowed to Sun Siyuan.
"You're welcome...... you're welcome" Sun Siyuan waved his hand, "Master, you are powerful!" Alas, your old surname is Cui? Cui's family? ”
The old master nodded: "Exactly." When I returned to Pingdong Town, I was able to meet the princess, and it was also fate. Later, the girl from Jin Mu came to me, so that she could say that she had to get me here, but unfortunately, after staying here for two years, she didn't do anything! ”
"Retreat?" Sun Siyuan is curious, this word is used, it seems that this Cui Si sent Master Cui, and there are still a lot of achievements?
The little disciple beside Cui Siji replied: "Princess, my master is amazing, many novel houses in Xinxi Kingdom were designed by the master, and after ten or twenty years, they are still novel, and the royal theater in our capital was built under the auspices of the master......
Sun Siyuan now figured it out, why did the Cui family, who were in the carriage and horse business, build a theater with the emperor, it turned out that it was the credit of this person? Suddenly remembering something, Sun Siyuan asked again: "Then Master Cui, the taste hall in Pingdong Town is also the plan you designed?" ”
The master gave his hand again: "Random work, random work." ”
Although Cui Siji is old, he dares to think and dare to do, specializing in art, he has great confidence in himself, others dare not use a rafter to support the roof, but after his own accurate calculations, he knows that it is no problem to do that, so he did it.
To his dismay, he actually got stuck in the matter of shipbuilding. Before he came to Quang Phuoc Province, he felt that the craftsmen here were incompetent, but the countless trial failures in the past two years made him understand that manpower is poor.
Aunt Xiaoyu's belly has been seven months, and the people of Guangfu Province know that she is rushing with everyone, and they all admire it, and Aunt Xiaoyu can only laugh dryly: she is just "rushing with everyone" in Sun Siyuan's space, and she has never suffered a little from running around. Sun Siyuan, in the twentieth month of pregnancy, finally began to show her pregnancy.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the shipbuilding workshop gathered for dinner, and Sun Siyuan took the opportunity to announce that she was five months pregnant!
Aunt Xiaoyu was pregnant, and everyone admired her perseverance and followed the team for a few months. But when I arrived at Sun Siyuan, the direction of the wind changed: five months pregnant, it was on the road, and the princess and the prince really couldn't be idle for a moment......
That night, Sun Siyuan asked Zhao Youqian before going to bed: "Rich, why do I think these people look at me strangely today?" ”
"You think too much, you are so ugly, who looks at you......" Zhao Youqian comforted her.
The first day of the new month was rested, and on the second day, everyone began to work. Sun Siyuan relied on her identity as a "pregnant woman", eating and drinking well, and didn't have to do anything. In a panic, Sun Siyuan asked Aunt Xiaoyu to teach her to make clothes.
"Actually, the princess's skills have been practiced very well, and there is no need to learn ......" Aunt Xiaoyu added confidence to Sun Siyuan.
Sun Siyuan shook her head: "No, no, no, my craftsmanship is not good enough, I am going to make clothes for my son now, I must do my best!" ”
"Wangwang......" Blake listened to Sun Siyuan's words and called happily. Aunt Xiaoyu glanced at Blake sympathetically: poor little fellow, before he realized it, he was about to fall out of favor.
On January 13, news came from the sea that the previous fishing boat had been damaged in the storm, and the crew had suffered heavy casualties, only two people survived, and one of them had a dead leg.
Because of the casualties of this ship, the Cui family shipbuilding workshop spent a huge amount of compensation. The local government often tried to persuade the Cui family to stop exploring the sea, but to no avail.
It was also the casualties of this boatload that made everyone who came from afar understand: exploring the sea is really an unknown path with countless casualties at every turn.
However, since it has already come, will it go back? Everyone made up their minds: to build ships, to build ships that can sail on the seas!
On March 3, it happened that on the same day as Zhao Youqian's birthday, Aunt Xiaoyu gave birth to her youngest daughter, named Hailian.
Aunt Xiaoyu's birth process was very painful, it hurt for a few hours, and it was heartbreaking, Hailian was born with eight pounds and nine taels, and a little fat doll.
Sun Siyuan accompanied Aunt Xiaoyu throughout the delivery, and when Aunt Xiaoyu finally gave birth to the child, Sun Siyuan also collapsed: it's not tired, it's not painful, it's scared, Aunt Xiaoyu is usually so gentle and gentle, she screams so badly, how painful it is!
And she has eaten and drunk well recently, will the baby be bigger, what should I do......
She regretted it, she couldn't do it if she didn't give birth......
Steward Zhuang has been locked out of the door and not allowed to enter, and it was easy for the child to be born, he didn't even look at it, he rushed directly to Aunt Xiaoyu's bedside, hugged Aunt Xiaoyu and shouted: "Yu, oh my Yu, but I feel sorry for me......"
Looking at this scene, Sun Siyuan subconsciously brought Zhao Youqian in, if Zhao Youqian rushed to her bedside as soon as she gave birth, if she treated her like this, maybe the pain of giving birth would be half gone, right? (To be continued.) )
