Chapter Seventy-Six: Zhengshuang
Chen Zheng has no special opinion on Wang Facai, and like everyone else, he treats everyone equally.
Even Chen Zheng took special care of Wang Facai and his apprentice Ah Cheng.
It's really taken care of, nothing else.
When Chen Zheng's carpentry workshop opened, Wang Facai took his apprentices to find him, but in the end, Chen Zheng made him unhappy.
Just this little grievance, Chen Zheng didn't take it to heart at all.
Wang Facai was one of the few carpenters in the city before Chen Zheng went to Dongyang County, except for his poor character, his craftsmanship was quite passable.
Therefore, when this shipbuilding was built, some rough processing, Chen Zheng entrusted it to Wang Facai and his apprentice Ah Cheng.
In this way, Chen Zheng was much more relaxed.
Chen Zheng walked up to Wang Facai, who was planing the plank, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, work harder, I'll give you one more fish when you work at night!" ”
Wang Facai touched the sweat stains on his forehead and snorted lightly: "Then I will thank Master Chen!" ”
"You're polite, more work and more reward, distribution according to work, has always been my principle." Chen Zheng said seriously.
Ah Cheng glanced at Chen Zheng and asked a little innocently, "Then why don't you work?" ”
Chen Zheng stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said, "It's not that I don't work, I just don't do this kind of rough work." ”
"Ah Cheng, work quickly, listen to less heresy!" Wang Facai said.
When Chen Zheng heard this, he was not happy, put his hands behind his back, and said: "There is no distinction between high and low, but there is a different division of labor. ”
Wang Facai was stunned, and had nothing to say, where would he build any ship.
"Ah Cheng, when you work, you must be more attentive and learn more real skills, otherwise you can only do a small job for the rest of your life." Chen Zheng said earnestly.
Ah Cheng tilted his head and thought for a while, nodded, and said, "What Master Chen said is quite reasonable. ”
Chen Zheng was very satisfied with Ah Cheng's reaction, smiled kindly at him, and left the two of them to inspect the others.
Other people's skills are not as good as Wang Facai's, but they are just some simple processing, which is quite passable.
After Chen Zheng left, Wang Facai threw the sweat towel in his hand directly into Ah Cheng's face, and scolded in a low voice: "Stinky boy, what did you mean just now?" Didn't I give you the real thing? ”
"Ah, master, don't hit me." Ah Cheng hurriedly hid aside, "I really haven't learned the real skills." ”
Wang Facai snorted angrily, and wanted to teach Ah Cheng a good lesson, but there was a pile of high wooden planks to deal with next to him, and he really couldn't spare time.
"Bring me that board!" Wang Facai shouted.
Ah Cheng saw that the master was no longer moving, so he put a wooden board on the workbench in front of Wang Facai.
"Ah Cheng, you have been following me for two years, and when this famine passes, I will teach you the real skills." Wang Facai said suddenly.
When Ah Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Really, master?" Are you willing to teach me the real thing? ”
Wang Facai nodded and said: "You are also diligent in doing things, but your brain is not very bright, you must use your courage and wisdom more in the future!" ”
"Well, I remember, master." Ah Cheng hurriedly agreed.
With a clear division of labor, the progress of the construction of this big ship is much faster.
All the finished parts were carried into the assembly area of the dock, where they could only be entered with Chen Zheng's permission.
This is the secret of shipbuilding, Chen Zheng does not want too many people to know, in this era there is no intellectual property, the design has been stolen, and no compensation can be obtained.
Anyone who can enter here to help is all the villagers of Hongsong Village.
Under the leadership of Yue Xiaorong's family, they have lived in Hongsongzhai for several generations and are absolute henchmen, and Chen is their aunt in Hongsongzhai and is absolutely their own person.
Due to the lack of experience and the complexity of assembly and construction, it took nearly half a month to complete the first large ship.
This large ship has seven masts and seven sails, and the ship's square bow and tail greatly improve the stability of the ship, and the bottom of the ship is sharpened, so that when the waves are large, it is not easy to capsize.
And the volume of this wooden ship is not comparable to the previous dhow, the load capacity of this ship, can reach tens of thousands of catties, if it is fully loaded, the harvest of this ship alone is much more than the original five dhow ships combined!
Chen Zheng is still quite satisfied with this seven-masted and seven-sail fishing boat.
At the beginning, in the system's craftsman library, in order to exchange for the drawings of this fishing boat, it cost Chen Zheng a full five thousand experience points, and now that it has finally been built, Chen Zheng feels that it is still worth it.
Exquisite seven-masted and seven-sail fishing boat: Durability +18, Attract Fish +17, Cut Waves +17.
It's time to test the waters, which is an important process to test whether a ship can work.
Some of the boats were built and looked good, but as soon as they touched the water, they all worked.
Chen Zheng is confident that the boat he built will not have any quality problems, but the inspection process of testing the water has evolved several times and has now become a ritual.
After cruising the fishing boat inshore, it returned to the harbor without a hint of trouble.
The government office sent a scribe to observe the water test ceremony, and the scribe, Chen Zheng, Li Shuang and others boarded the fishing boat and felt some atmosphere.
"Master Chen, this ship is no problem, why don't you give the ship a name?" The scribe suggested.
Li Shuang clapped his hands and said, "Good proposal, this is the first time I've seen such a big fishing boat, so I must give it a resounding name." ”
"Then why don't you go and ask the county magistrate to give him a name?" Chen Zheng said.
Li Shuang shook his head directly and said, "Every time there is such a good thing, it is my father's, and this time he can't be cheaper." ”
When the scribe heard this, he could only laugh, this kind of words, that is, the son of the county commander could say it.
Chen Zheng is nothing, who chooses this name differently?
So, Chen Zheng turned to the scribe and said, "You made this proposal, why don't you get one?" After all, it can be regarded as a representative of the government office. ”
"No, who is qualified to name this fishing boat!" The scribe hurriedly waved his hand and refused, just kidding, the county magistrate was by his side, how could he dare to overstep his bounds?
"Brother Chen, come on, this is the ship you built after all." Li Shuang said.
The corners of Chen Zheng's mouth raised, how could he not see that Li Shuang wanted to name it?
"Brother Li, come on." Chen Zheng made a gesture of please.
The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, since Li Shuang has this need, it is to meet him.
Li Shuang smiled, rubbed his hands, and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
After speaking, Li Shuang was on the deck of the fishing boat, and after walking around the fishing boat, he stood still beside Chen Zheng.
"A good name?" Chen Zheng asked.
Li Shuang nodded and said, "I thought of a wonderful name, this fishing boat is called 'Zhengshuang'!" ”
Chen Zheng: "......"
Scrivener: "......"
