It has been more than 20 days since I came to Chaozhou Mansion in a flash, and this morning Li Jing was washing under Xiaolan's service, and the second uncle walked in.

"Jing'er, the sail you want has arrived, and the second uncle has been running to the sea for a long time, so I will open my eyes with you today." The two sisters are also dressed in green clothes today, and they follow the second uncle excitedly.

"Sister Weiwei, Sister Yueyue, you also want to go" Li Jing said in surprise, these two sisters are twins, they have been inseparable from Meng since childhood, and Meng is not defocused. When I was a child, I often messed around with Li Jing, catching birds in the trees, fishing in the river, digging He Shou Wu in the back garden, and doing naughty things together. If you hadn't been acquainted since childhood, sometimes you really couldn't tell who was who. In the past few years, they and their second uncle have run boats and helped the family to do business, but they have exercised out, and they are no longer naughty when they were children.

Sister Weiwei crossed her waist and glared at Li Jing, Sister Yueyue came up and twisted Li Jing's ears, "What, underestimate my sister, I'll get on the boat later, the tide is high today, the sea is stormy, little brother, don't pee your pants." Li Jing screamed painfully, and then spared him.

"Okay, don't make trouble, hurry up and eat, the carriage is waiting" The second uncle scolded a few words, everyone hurriedly started to eat, breakfast was raw fish fillet porridge, the fish fillet was carefully removed from the fish bones, fresh and delicious, Li Jing drank a few large bowls. Sister Weiwei pouted, "Little brother, you can eat so well and become a pig sooner or later, see who girl can take a fancy to you" Sister Yueyue also came to help, "I have a maid who can eat like you, fat and stupid, how about the little brother and sister give her to you" The second uncle said angrily: "You two stupid girls, crazy all day long, find a fool one day and marry you quickly, so as not to make me angry at home." ”

The family, while talking about it, quickly finished eating, Li Jing rushed to the shipyard with the four maids and the guard scholar and the second uncle's family, and Boss Zhang saw that the family had arrived, so he hurriedly came over to salute.

"Second master, eldest young master, two young ladies early"

"No need to be polite, how are you preparing?" the second uncle waved his hand.

"I arrived in the middle of the night yesterday, the ship drove directly to the shipyard, and the installation began at dawn. The drawings are detailed, and this will already be installed. Sailors were getting acquainted with the rigging, and now they were a little unaccustomed to this kind of shangker. ”

The second uncle was very satisfied with the ability of his subordinates, "Then let's go into the water"

Mr. Zhang shouted "Go into the water, smooth sailing"

Two shirtless strong men picked up big axes and cut a few cables, only to see this boat named Feilai Mountain, began to slide, Li Jing looked at the bottom of the boat, it turned out that the bottom of the dock was a slope inclined to the sea, the bottom of the ship and the ground of the dock were directly installed with a lot of logs, as long as the cable was broken, the ship immediately slid to the water.

I saw that the Feilaishan was slipping faster and faster, and the sailors who put it on were already in place. Nervously maneuvering, the bow of the ship slammed into the sea, and the waves soared, and then the boat jumped up and floated steadily. The mist that rushed up fell like heavy rain and drenched everyone.

The second uncle shouted heroically: "Get on the boat"

Everyone began to get on the small sampan, to the side of the ship, and climbed to the deck from the provincial net, although Bai Yu and the sword were scholars, one of them practiced bows all year round, and the other practiced swords all year round. The four maids have also practiced kung fu since childhood, and they are vigorous, not to mention the two sisters, who have been running boats with their second uncle all the year round in recent years, which is even more commonplace.

Fujian and Guangdong are chaotic, there are many ethnic groups, and there are constant fights in the four townships, grabbing fields, firewood, and water, so every village practices martial arts and swords, plays guns and sticks, and the martial arts are very strong. Boys and girls are generally able to make a few strokes.

After Li Jing got on the ship, he first took the whole ship aside, how to place everything, how to round the sharp corners on the ship, how to store and consolidate the cable rigging, how to prepare the personnel, and how to prepare the personnel. And why this is done, the reason and reason are also clear.

These are all clearly stated in the book "Sailing and Navigation Technology", which is a summary of the lessons and experiences of the centuries-old sailing era. These old sailors, naturally, understand the value of these experiences, and for a time the whole ship of sailors is convinced, and a skilled person is like this, once he recognizes you, it is very easy to deal with.

At this time, Boss Zhang brought a few wooden boxes and said: "We are all running the sails and lowering the sails of the old sea, and we can operate them in a zigzag shape, but what is the booster equipment in these boxes, I haven't seen it, and I don't know how to install it." ”

Li Jing came over to take a look, and it turned out to be a ratchet device designed by him. So only the sailor and the carpenter opened the box, installed a set of ratchets made of brass under the mast, attached the sail ropes, and one man gently turned the ratchet to lift the sails with ease. The second uncle's eyes widened in surprise, these sails were very heavy, and it would take at least three strong men half an hour to rise, but seeing that his nephew was alone, he would raise all three huge sails in a while.

The sails were full of wind, the sails were puffed up, and the ship began to break the waves, and today the waves were not small, and the waves were three or four meters high. The dockyard looked at the huge ship, like a fallen leaf in the sea, rising and falling on the waves. Boss Zhang stood on the highest platform at the stern and shouted loudly. The sailors followed Boss Zhang's instructions to run and maneuver on the deck. The helmsman is at the helm at the rear. The second uncle, Li Jing and the fourth maid stood behind Boss Zhang.

At first, the boat was a little out of line, but soon the sailors found the new sails to be very nimble and easy to manoeuvre. In less than a meal, you can basically drive normally. The two sisters were even more excited, kicked off their shoes, climbed directly on the mast with their bare white and tender feet, and greeted Li Jing on the lookout at the top of the main mast, "Little brother, come up, come to my sister, the scenery is good."

The second uncle was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and grabbed Li Jing, "Don't go, these two crazy girls, if Brother Jing falls into the sea, the old lady won't pick the skin of these two girls." ”

"Second uncle, sooner or later, I will also be familiar with the family's business, I will also learn, this time I will go to Nanjing in person, learn more, and it will be safe along the way."

The second uncle groaned for a while, and said to Boss Zhang: "Tie a rope around the young master's waist, you take the young master up, be careful, Brother Jing is the only seedling in the long house." ”

The four maids and the sword Bai Yu also asked to go up, so as to protect the young master, the second uncle agreed, because it is a Chinese sail to change the sail, the shape of the Chinese sail is between the sail and the sail, there are three horizontal crossbars for hanging sails, the sailors climbed the crossbar and then threw down the rope, the four maids and the white feather sword tied the rope around their waists, and climbed up to the main mast, the lookout could not accommodate so many people, the four maids and the white feather sword stood on the highest crossbar, Li Jing climbed to the top of the mast, and the two sisters grabbed him and carried him directly onto the lookout.

Li Jing is not only at a glance, but he hasn't seen him for a few years, and the twin sisters are really impressive. He is now 175 tall, and he is very strong in boxing all year round, and his weight is 150 pounds.

Li Jing went up to the lookout, holding the railing in his hand, and said that it was fake not to be afraid. It is so high, it is twenty-five or six meters, and it is eight stories on land. The white waves were surging on the water below, and the boats were violently swaying up and down. Li Jing's fingers turned white. It feels like stepping on cotton under your feet. The wooden floors were wet and slippery. Chill.

Wei Wei and Yue Yue tied Li Jing's waist with a rope, and trapped on their own waist, Li Jing saw the two sisters, standing on the floor as if they had taken root, two white and tender feet stepped on the ground, five snow-white toes bent and grabbed the ground, and the second toe was slightly longer and more curved, buckling the floor. Li Jing also learned to do this, and seemed to stand firm.

At this time, I heard the four maids of Meilan Zhuju screaming excitedly on the crossbar below. Li Jing hurriedly raised his head. In the distance before, the Han River suddenly opened up, the waves were bigger, the boat began to turn to the right, straight aimed at the main channel, directly to the southeast, the northwest wind blowing from behind suddenly puffed up the sail to the extreme, the speed of the ship increased rapidly, the bow split the waves, and the wind galloped like a gallop. In the distance, the sea and the sky line, the land takes the shape of a flare, and gradually disappears on both sides. Han Jiangkou arrived.
