Chapter 404: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (One Hundred and Fifty-Four)
Special medicine, of course, has a miraculous effect.
After only taking one pill, Master Cai did not cough again for twelve hours.
Half an hour after taking the second pill, I felt that my breathing was lighter.
Three days later, Master Cai came to knock on his son's dormitory door early in the morning: "Fourth, how do you feel?" Does this special medicine have the same effect as you said? ”
Master Cai was so excited that he burst into tears: "Lao Dou, I don't need to go to the phlegm test, I can feel that my heart and lungs are healthier than before I got sick." I haven't had a single cough in three days, and I haven't slept so soundly for a long time. ”
"I'll just say, isn't it a good medicine that people have spent so much effort to get back from abroad? Let's go to the hospital now to test the phlegm. ”
The results of the phlegm test were, of course, reassuring everyone in the Cai family.
The disease, which was not expected to be completely cured, now seems to be back to normal.
The invitation sent by the knife master to ask Master Cai to be a ship model, and Master Cai agreed for his son.
For him, a seventy-year-old man, the job opportunity of a senior technician in a large factory is rare, but the youngest son has only one life.
The grace of saving lives, of course, must be repaid with all our might.
A week later.
Master Cai moved into a single courtyard in Xiguan, Yangcheng.
The condition offered by the knife master is that he will have a salary of 500 yuan per month for food and lodging, and the employment time will be one year.
Can you earn nearly 6,000 yuan a year?
Not sky-high wages, what!
There is another reason why Master Cai agreed to do private work for the knife master without hesitation, that is, he is very confident in the work of making ship models.
In ancient times, before building a ship, a ship model would be made.
The shape, structure, decoration, material selection, production procedures and methods of the ship model are no different from those of the real ship, and then the ship is built according to the size of the enlarged ship in equal proportions.
This technique is known as the ancient ship model construction technique, and has been widely used in the construction of traditional wooden sailing boats for at least thousands of years.
The shipyard where the father and son worked before was not a wooden sailboat!
In Lao Cai's family, modeling is a kind of skill inheritance.
"Master Cai, I can still know a thing or two about the history of ancient ships, but I am a layman what kind of ship type to choose for modeling, I don't know if you have any good suggestions?"
When it comes to professional fields, Master Cai is shy when he first met, and he talks eloquently in his professional field:
"Thanks to the sword master, there are many names and surnames in the style of Cantonese ancient ships, and the model I recommend for strong practicality at sea is, the three-masted ancient sail ship.
Its ship type is the same as most Canton ships, with a long pointed head, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the hull adopts the technology of watertight compartments.
The wood used for shipbuilding is generally made of ironwood produced in Southeast Asia.
Tieli wood has the characteristics of heavy and tough, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, not easy to deform, insect resistance, etc., the only disadvantage is the high cost, the advantage is that there is such an iron bone, more durable and suitable for long-distance voyages. ”
Master Cai is not only a know-it-all for ancient sailing ships, but at the same time as the introduction, he drew the three-masted ancient sailing ship he recommended in about ten minutes.
This is a sailboat with multiple sails in one mast and a sail width greater than the ship's width, which does not require mechanical power and is completely dependent on the wind.
At the same time, it is also the ship with the largest sail area in the late Qing Dynasty.
Master Cai pointed to the boat diagram and continued:
"If you want to restore the real thing to a certain percentage, it is not a small project to assemble the keel of the main body of the ship, make the deck, and install the side and fender wood on both sides.
In addition, there are thousands of parts such as ropes, sails, masts, pulleys, railings, gangways, etc.
It turns out that the types of work in this area also involve carpentry, fitters, turners, lacquerers, and even miniature carving and needlework.
One of the most time-consuming is grinding and polishing, which accounts for almost one-third or more than half of the total production time of the ship model.
After listening to a rough idea, Dao Ye could also understand the workload, and suggested that he invite some more people to help.
"I'll pay you another 300 yuan a month for small labor and miscellaneous expenses, and you have the final say on who you invite and how many people you want to work."
Master Cai is as good as a stream, and he recommends his third brother in line with the principle that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
His eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are all veteran craftsmen with solid basic skills, but after the shipyard where they worked before was merged, they were not able to enter the state-owned enterprises as regular workers.
I have been working as a part-time worker.
It's a good thing to earn a hundred dollars a month, and a fool is not happy.
For the decisiveness of Master Cai's brothers, Dao Ye still appreciates it very much, and in order not to delay their working hours, he also invited a cooking aunt for several people.
Not only is there white rice, but fish, shrimp and meat are also eaten in different ways every day.
I have to say that with his arrangement, the five fathers and sons of the Cai family have done their work.
I didn't go back home, and I basically ate and lived in this small courtyard.
Master Cai patted his chest to guarantee the sword master, and they were very confident that they would be able to build this ship model within three months.
Because the ship model was done well, Dao Ye was in the exclusive supply list of Yangcheng, and he was the exclusive agent of bacteriophage enzyme, a special drug.
Dao Ye is a person who has witnessed the miracle of Master Cai, a tuberculosis patient, who was cured within three days.
He can get twenty copies of special medicine every month, and he doesn't feel that the amount is small, he just wants to hold Brother Hu's golden thighs firmer.
The black market can do his position today, and he is not a little brother.
The upper part must be able to open up the joints, and the lower level must have materials that can monopolize the market and have stable purchases.
There are not too many forces that want to replace him.
The importance of imported special drugs that can save lives can be imagined.
There is also Port City.
He had heard people mention it before that the boss of the Green Gang had a favorite lady who had tuberculosis.
It's been more than a year, and I haven't seen this lady come out to socialize.
His younger brothers travel to and from Port City too frequently, and it is still very necessary to have a good relationship with the biggest gang in Port City.
At the same time.
The W Group of Global Village has received more than 1,000 dipterocarp seedlings that are more than three years old.
The extraction equipment they promised to give to the grocery store has already been ordered.
The composition of this set of equipment is not complicated.
The principle is to put the leaves of dipterocarp into a closed boiler, first let it remove water, after high temperature distillation, cooling, and purification again, you can get natural dipterocarp (borneol).
To say that W Group is still very attentive, this set of equipment is equipped with many models of boilers, and the distillation temperature can be set by itself.
It can be used not only to extract dipterocarp, but also rosin, agarwood, sandalwood and the like.
Extracting essential oils from plants is not a problem!
After receiving the equipment from Lightspeed Express, Mrs. You hurriedly installed it in the basement of her house.
