Chapter 115: It's Day
Chapter 115 [It's Day]
The leper boat is quite good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The hull is not small, it looks quite new in the past, there are oars on both sides, there are turret on the stern, and there is a large oar at the stern, not to mention the sail, but there is no wind today, and the sail is temporarily put away.
At this time, the boat mainly relied on wind power and manpower to propel, and when he saw those oars, Li Qingshan felt a slight surprise, no wonder the arms of these water robbers were thicker than one.
The ship is visually more than ten meters long, and dozens of people can stand on the deck alone, so this group of babies did not seem crowded at all when they got on the boat.
Li Qingshan originally didn't have much hope for this ancient ship, but when those oars and oars were all in motion, he realized that he had far underestimated the ancients.
Historically, the shipbuilding technology of the Sui Dynasty was in rapid development, and the reason why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened up the canal and went to Yangzhou three times was also based on the continuous updating of shipbuilding technology.
"It's fast...... Li Qingshan couldn't help but praise.
Maybe it has something to do with the people who make the boat, this group of water robbers come and go in the waves every day, and they eat this bowl of rice, and these housekeepers always have the ability to take care of the house.
The scenery on both sides of the strait quickly receded, and there was no uncontrollable ape cry in the ears, only the whirring wind passing by, which made people feel cool. The big boat cleaved the calm river like a sharp blade and carried them upstream.
Zhang Erleng and the big bull iron pillar They were all a little excited, this is the boat of the water bandits, it is much higher than their small broken boats, before they were put in, this is simply unimaginable - unless they are kidnapped.
However, what they were looking forward to more at this time was what Li Qingshan said to them last night.
These days. They have been training cormorants. They didn't know what the purpose of this was. However, it is inevitable that there will be a few words of discussion, some conjecture, and even bets on this matter.
Last night, after they came back from catching fireflies, what Li Qingshan said to them finally confirmed their long-standing conjecture.
These waterfowl are trained for fishing!
For this reason, Da Niu also lost ten cents.
However, the big bull who lost money was not distressed at all, at this time. He was already a little impatient, lowered his head and asked Zhang Erleng in a low voice where the ship was going to take them.
But Zhang Erling was also at a loss, and finally glared at him and said: "Brother Qing said that wherever we go, we will go up, anyway, it can't be to pull us to sell to people, right?" β
In a short time, the ship sailed far away. On the deck, Li Qingshan glanced back, and he couldn't see Qi Jingtianniu and the third child, and he could only vaguely hear the place where he got on the boat just now. There was a faint sound of gongs.
Very good, there should be another crocodile trick, right? It was still early in the morning. If these people are nimble, they should still have time to satisfy the first foodie customers.
The leper walked over from the back of the boat, handed over a hat, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, get on our thief ship, put this on." β
"No one knows me, right?"
Li Qingshan replied with a smile, but took the hat casually, put it on as he said, and tied a slipknot under his chin.
The leper looked at the cormorants on the boat, and still couldn't figure out how they could catch fish, but when he thought that he would be able to see the difference immediately, he simply didn't ask.
The scenery on the river is pleasant, and it is the middle of summer, and the banks are verdant and verdant, this almost primitive scenery is obviously better than the later generations.
Li Qingshan patronized and enjoyed the coastal scenery, and it was not until the big boat slowly stopped that he realized that it had arrived.
The ship was docked under a flat cliff with wooden stakes and planks built up a three-meter-square platform above the river.
Looking up, there are several wooden stakes protruding from the cliff, which should be used for hanging baskets up and down, and I don't know how to hit them.
The cliffs are lined with steep rocks, and there are almost no roads leading up the mountain.
It seems that the mountain behind the cliff is where the cottage of Tea Banzhan is located, that is, the monkey mountain that the blacksmith Ma said.
There were a few men sitting on the wooden platform enjoying the shade, dressed in the same clothes as the leper heads, and they looked like a group of people.
They had already seen their boat from afar, and by this time they were all on their feet, and a bearded man stepped forward to skillfully pull the boat over and tie it, but his eyes were the same as the others, staring at the babies and waterfowl on the boat.
This should be the guest that the big boss said, why are they all half-grown babies, and - it seems that they don't even have fishing nets?
Apparently, Cha Ban Zhan only told them that there were guests who were going to come over to catch fish today, but he didn't say how to catch itβof course, mainly because Cha Ban Zhan couldn't tell them clearly.
The leper jumped onto the stage and said something to them, and these people quickly brought a few small sampans from the other side and handed the rope to Li Qingshan.
Zhang Erleng and the others had been waiting for a long time, scrambling to snort, and the two of them were in a small boat, moving the guys to the inside, of course, they didn't forget to bring their respective water birds.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days, used for a while, more than three months of training, today these cormorants are finally going into the water, Li Qingshan is also a little excited.
"Boys, you're tired of playing in the little pond every day, aren't you? I'll leave this river to you! β
Zhang Erling made an ok gesture and took the lead in shaking the boat oar in his hand.
The five small sampans soon spread out one by one in the heart of the river, and the babies took straw, skillfully tied a slipknot around the necks of the water birds, and then shouted in their mouths, and the water birds quickly plunged into the water one by one when they heard the familiar command.
The waters are abundant and the river is so clear that you can see many fish swimming in the water with the naked eye, and the well-trained waterfowl are quickly reaped!
Zhang Erleni's one had been training for the longest time, and he was the first to enter the state, and he immediately got off to a good start, and he was the first to jump back on the boat with a bag full of fish to ask for credit.
"Brother Qing, my bird has caught a fish!"
Zhang Erleng shouted excitedly, but his hands were very familiar, and he gently squeezed out the fish from the neck pouch of the water bird.
This kind of fish-squeezing scene is repeated every day, and it seems that a good tacit understanding has already been formed between people and waterbirds, so it takes almost no effort.
When he took out the last one, Zhang Erren violently smashed the fish in his hand onto the board. After stunning, use a sharp fish knife to cut into small fish sticks with a few clicks. Throw to the waterfowl.
The waterfowl had been looking forward to it for a long time. It's not polite to see the fish, and it's swept away like a whirlwind.
Soon, the rewarded waterfowl flapped their wings and jumped back into the water, quickly carrying out the second round of fishing.
Over there, the pigskin was already screaming, and loudly beckoned the iron pillar of the same boat to hurry out with the fish knife, ready to cut the fish for a reward!
The water cowards on the countertop are far away, and they don't really see it. It can be seen that those waterfowl are scurrying in and out of the water, and they obediently go back to spit out fish and eat fish, and they immediately believe it.
Li Qingshan saw that these babies were screaming loudly, and he also had some itchy hands for a while, and he jumped on a small sampan and wanted to try it over, but the wooden oar at the stern of the boat seemed to be deliberately unable to get along with him, and no matter how he tinkered, it just couldn't get it right.
Just shake it twice, and it falls out of the oar's eye, and then put it and shake it again. but fell out again.
The leper was anxious on stage, and saw that his technique was really unessential. Suddenly guessed something.
"Brother Li, don't you know how to swing?"
Li Qingshan was embarrassed, touched his nose helplessly, and nodded in acknowledgement.
Really.
The leper was a little speechless for a while, he couldn't understand how a person who couldn't even shake the oars could still worry about fishing.
The leper was waiting to help him, but the bearded water guy had already jumped down first.
He was fat, covered with meat, and was afraid of weighing eighty or ninety kilograms, so he jumped on the small sampan, and the boat shook for a while.
Li Qingshan was a little stunned, and hurriedly grabbed a wooden stake next to him, and then stood firm.
"Little brother, you can't shake it, I'll shake it for you!"
The bearded man was talking in his mouth, but he was not vague in his hand, and when he lifted it slightly, he actually put the oar on the eye at once, and Li Qingshan was entangled for a while.
It's that easy?
At this time, two more water cowards also jumped down, but fortunately, there were already bearded men sitting in the boat like a jack drop, and they didn't shake like just now.
The leper on the stage was a little worried, watching the boat slowly swing away, and shouted loudly: "Brother Li, you can swim in the water, right?" β
The young man hurriedly turned around and shouted "Yes", but the bearded man patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, little brother, it doesn't matter if you are just a landlubber, there are three of us, I promise not to let you drink a sip of river water." β
The other two water cowards were silent, because they saw that those water birds frequently ate fish and spit fish, and their eyes were already straight, and they didn't care who could swim in the water.
When he got closer, the bearded man also saw the real handful of fish in Zhang Erren's bucket, and hurriedly threw the oar, pulled the boat over and got up, and looked at it with wide eyes.
Soon, another cormorant returned to the boat with a neck full of fish, flapping its wings and splashing everyone with water stains.
Li Qingshan hadn't squeezed a fish for a long time, and he had been itching just now, so he couldn't help it anymore, so he simply snatched the cormorant from Zhang Erleng's hand and squeezed it himself.
Seeing the fish squeezing out of the water fowl's neck and falling into the cabin and jumping, the three water cowards felt incredible.
"Straight thief, dare to love this bird is really human?"
"No, it's really a day......"
The two water cowards were looking at the bird and marveling, but the bearded man had already clapped his palms, and excitedly said that he had one of this kind of birds in his village, and he was waiting to go back at night to kill and eat, and it seemed that he could not kill it this time.
Li Qingshan smiled while squeezing the fish: "Brother Beard, do you really think that you can catch a random bird and catch a fish?" How can it be so simple? β
The bearded man was stunned: "Isn't it just a straw ring around your neck?" So what's going to happen? β
"Of course, you have to practice and stay up, your water bird has not practiced for a day, and you will definitely not be able to catch fish...... If only it were as simple as you thought. β
"Is this going to be the case?" The bearded man was a little deflated when he heard this.
"Nonsense, I've been practicing for three months before I can have what I am today......"
Before Li Qingshan finished speaking, he felt a slight shock to the hull of the boat, and when he looked back, it was the leper that they had also made a small boat over, and the one who was rocking the oars was obviously patronizing to watch the waterfowl fishing, and forgot to brake the boat for a while, so he gently collided.
Not only him, but the other water cowards were also stunned, they fished and fished every day, and changed their methods to get fish from the river, but this was the first time they had seen such a strange method.
Where have they never seen this kind of water duck, there are many on the river, but who would have thought that they could be trained like this?
Someone shouted in a trembling voice to report to the big boss, but the leper said no need, the big boss is not in the village today.
Li Qingshan didn't care who was there or not, he had already had a lot of fun, just playing fishing with cormorants, and he had a lot of fun after a while, but he never got tired of it.
Those water cowards looked fun, and they also wanted to help squeeze some fish to have a good time, but they were all politely rejected by him.
How can you go to work casually without training, and it is not good to hurt the neck of the cormorant, and this kind of principle must not be compromised.
Occasionally, some passing ships saw the strange movement here, and they wanted to come over to have a good look, but when they saw these water thieves from afar, they all slipped away.
After all, Li Qingshan was a few years older than Zhang Erling and them, and after playing for a while, he was not interested, and then asked the bearded man to help shake the oar, and drove the small sampan around the river, during which he also asked him for the secret of rocking the oar.
The bearded man is surnamed Hai, known as the sea beard, he looks rough, but his temperament is very easy-going, and he has seen Li Qingshan's ability just now, so he naturally taught him.
But Li Qingshan didn't seem to have the talent in this area, and he still couldn't learn it after studying for a long time, so he finally had to sigh that he had a specialization in the art industry, and then he hated it.
By the time they came back, the cormorants were obviously a little tired, and they were no longer the dragon spirits and tigers they had when they first came, but the water cowards were still watching with relish, and there were obviously more people than just now.
In addition to a few boats, there were already many people standing on the small wooden platform at this time, Li Qingshan glanced at it and found that many of them were children.
When the news came back to the village just now, many people didn't believe that there was such a strange thing, but the children were clamoring to come down to see, so many parents were dragged down by the children.
But when it came to the hanging basket, the eyes of these parents were immediately absorbed.
Zhang Erling and the few barrel fish baskets they brought were basically full of fish at this time. Li Qingshan observed carefully, and saw that the movements of those cormorants had finally slowed down and their sharpness had decreased greatly, so he knew that the time was almost up, and then he called them to call it a day.
On the first day of the official fishing, it was not advisable to let these waterfowl work too hard, and they could have brought more to take turns to fight, but because it was the first time to go into the water, for the sake of prudence, Li Qingshan only brought the most well-trained eleven.
The days to come are still long, as long as you can get rid of these water coars, the fish in the river will still be able to run to the sky in the future?
Zhang Erli and the others were obviously not happy yet, but since Li Qingshan had spoken, he had no choice but to call it a day obediently.
As soon as they returned to the wooden platform, everyone gathered around like a swarm, and everyone's eyes were focused on the waterfowl, chattering and asking questions.
