752.Build You an Island (2/10)
Temporary two shifts in the early morning, but today is still ten watches, and put it at noon and evening, not weekends, there is not so much code word time, I hope brothers and sisters will understand, thank you! But it's still ten watches, and there will be ten more today! ****
Nelson looked at Paris, who was as weak as the White Rabbit, and the others looked at him stupidly.
Hamlet smiled bitterly: "I forgot to introduce that my sister majored in journalism and media and minored in European history in college, and usually has to memorize a lot of names. And she has a good memory, you know, the type that has been in the newspaper. ”
Paris slowly poured the glasses in front of Garcia and Celia full of beer, and smiled, "Who's next?" Sister Winnie Schloyer forget it, I heard she was pregnant, so that's Sister Fox Schroe? ”
Fox glared at Nelson vigorously, you have to finish the fight while crying, fight it yourself!
Paris beckoned and said, "You sit down, Brother Reggie DJ Nelson, I don't need you to introduce me, Mr. Qin Shiou and my brother have already told me everyone's names just now, I just repeat it, how do you drink?" ”
"Nelson, drink it yourself!" Bird gloated.
This time, more than twenty people attended the PARTY, and after a circle, Nelson was carried back to the room by Iverson......
Garcia and Celia lived in the Fisherman's House apartment, because they were traveling around the world on a budget, and Qin Shiou provided them with accommodation for free after knowing about it, and they couldn't let the family cook a meal for nothing.
Anyway, those rooms were empty, the beds were ready-made, and the bedding was prepared by themselves.
Wake up in the morning. Qin Shiou went out for a run and saw that Garcia had already gotten up. Packing up his beloved sailboat shirtless.
Qin Shiou had never seen a maintenance sailboat, so he ran over and squatted on the dock to watch Garcia busy with his work.
Celia stepped out of the cabin carrying a keg. Seeing Qin Shiou, he smiled and said, "You got up quite early, Mr. Qin." ”
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Compared to you, I'm obviously still a lot late. ”
He had seen that the sailboat had been wiped clean and spotless, which was not something that could be done in a few minutes.
"We can't help it, sir, because we have to paint, and our boat crashed into the dock a week ago because of that hot cyclone," Celia explained. Knocked off a bit of paint, and this needs to be done before the sun rises. ”
The touch-up was over, and Celia applied another layer of anti-fouling paint to keep the hull from dirt.
Garcia inspected the rigging, thoroughly inspected the mast, the fixing rigging, the movable rigging, and the sail, which was necessary, and found a crack in the sail, which Celia took up with the nylon cloth to sew up, and repaired a few other places where the wear was bad.
Garcia introduced Qin Shiou: "For sailboats, man. I would say that it is important to keep an eye on the sails for damage, because in addition to being very important to the boat, they are also very expensive to build and we can't afford to buy a new one. ”
After the outside equipment is checked. Garcia went to the cabin again, and Qin Shiou followed by the way.
Garcia said that the sailboat is not like some fishing boats, cargo ships, etc., its cabin is more delicate. It can be damaged by a change in temperature, so regular observation is necessary to prevent the condition of the cabin from deteriorating.
The interior of the cabin of the Columbus Friendship is mainly wood. The exterior was sprayed with protective paint, and Garcia looked very closely. Scratches were found on the hatch and were immediately repainted.
"Touch-ups have to be done in a timely manner and carefully, because the moisture at sea is too heavy and you need to prevent moisture from entering the cracks in the wood and causing more damage." Garcia said with a smile.
After the inspection, Garcia patted the rudder, Celia hugged him from behind, with a satisfied expression on her face, Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and took a photo of them, and then passed it to Garcia.
After looking at the photos, Garcia smiled: "Thank you very much, it was a beautiful shot." ”
When he got to the pier, the first thing he saw was the dense plastic bottles on the beach, and Garcia asked curiously: "Is this a kind of protection measure for the fishing ground?" ”
Qin Shiou shrugged helplessly, and told him about the situation of the storm some time ago, he had long wanted to contact the ocean cleaning company to deal with the plastic waste, but the storm caused great damage to the seaside of St. John's, and the cleaning company was requisitioned by the government.
Garcia looked at the plastic bottles in a daze, and he and Celia whispered a few words, and the two of them went to study the bottles and plastic blocks carefully.
Qin Shiou didn't pay attention, after breakfast, he was about to go to clean up the vineyard with Wang Lei and others, Garcia came to find him and asked, "Man, how do you plan to dispose of the plastic products on the beach?" ”
"Of course, I will find a cleaning company to dispose of it." Qin Shiou said with a smile.
Garcia asked, "What is the budget cost, please?" ”
Qin Shiou wondered in his heart, does this guy have a good way to deal with this garbage? It would be nice if that was the case, and he said, "About 40,000 to 50,000, you see, they are very annoying." ”
Garcia showed a heartfelt expression and said, "It's better to do this, man, you can leave the disposal of these plastic products to us, only 40,000 yuan." We can't send you anywhere else, but we can help you build an island. ”
"Build an island?! What do you mean? Qin Shiou asked strangely.
Garcia took out a blank piece of paper, with some simple lines and a few numbers: "Look, this is the prototype of the island, we only need steel wire, fishing line, and water-resistant glue, and we can connect these plastic products together to form a small island in the sea." ”
Qin Shiou looked at Garcia suspiciously, and the latter smiled: "Please believe us, this is absolutely reliable, this idea originated from fishermen in Mozambique." ”
"The U.S. uses Mozambique as a place to dispose of garbage, and there is a lot of plastic in the area, and local fishermen use wood and plastic waste to make a number of small islands that float in the sea, and they connect nets between the small islands to catch fish, and it works very well."
"Damn, that's okay?" Qin Shiou was taken aback.
Garcia shrugged and said, "Relying on the steel wire from the garbage and their inferior fishing line, the small island they made can survive for at least five years." If you replace it with special steel wire and high-quality fishing line, and then have a water-resistant glue combination, I bet that the island will live for more than ten years! As long as you pay attention to maintenance, those twenty years will be fine. ”
Qin Shiou thought about it for a while, anyway, the cleaning company didn't have time this month, so why didn't he believe Garcia and give it a try? If it really succeeds, then he will have a small island floating in the sea.
"OK, the deal, if it is successful, I will give you 50,000 yuan instead of 40,000 yuan, if it is not successful, then there is no money to take." Qin Shiou said.
Garcia smiled confidently and asked, "What about our food and accommodation during this time?" ”
"I'll take care of it!" The rooms are ready-made, the seafood can be eaten openly, and there are countless game in the mountains. (To be continued......)
