Chapter 179: Toad Trading (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Good, very good! Uncle Liu is really the best carpenter in Yixing Town, and the work he does is beautiful! ”

Liang Qu was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Liu Quanfu would be able to overcomplete the task, and he felt like he had picked up a treasure.

One hundred taels, it's worth it!

Shinong industry and commerce, it seems to be the order of classes, but in fact it is not, missing the first half of the sentence, it is the division of the four people, Shinong industry and commerce.

Political status does not mean actual status, and actual status still depends on money.

In particular, there are more and more tools, sawing, planing, chiseling, filing, adze......

A carpenter can make a variety of things, and they are becoming more and more sophisticated.

In a densely populated and prosperous area like Pingyang County, a carpenter like Liu Quanfu earns much more than a farmer.

From the carvings in Liang Qu's house, you can see the craftsmanship, and a few taels of silver a month is not a problem.

This is why he didn't go to Pingyang County to find someone, but to find Liu Quanfu.

One is to be closer and know the roots, and the other is that Liu Quanfu's craftsmanship is really good.

He took seven or eight disciples to work day and night for three months, and Liang Qu's one hundred taels was equivalent to twice the salary.

It's normal to let others do what they're not good at and add a little more money.

Hearing that Liang Qu was satisfied, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Qu's identity is getting higher and higher, and when it comes to communication, it is fake to say that there is no pressure.

In addition, the first time I made a boat, I had no bottom in my heart, and I was even more worried about being afraid, for fear that more than two months of hard work would be in vain.

After some discussion, the cost of materials plus the salary agreed in advance was a total of one hundred and sixty-seven taels.

The material is not cheap, in addition to teak, there are beech and pine, the keel is the most expensive whole, and the rest of the planks are broken by a few planers just by planing the planks.

Liang Qu made up a whole and gave Liu Quanfu one hundred and seventy taels.

"It's better not to be too public, you know, I'm going to give gifts, and it's not good for everyone to know."

"I know, Lord Liang, don't worry, we will never go out and talk more."

Several apprentices responded.

After working for so long, I finally put the money in my pocket, and the taste is first-class, all according to Liangqu.

"Uncle Liu, I'll leave the boat on your side for the time being, and I'll come back to get it in the evening."

"Okay, please also ask Lord Liang to take care of himself, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I brushed tung oil this morning, and the little old man was very sleepy."

"There's Uncle Liu."

"It's Lord Liang who lifts it."

Liu Quanfu arched his hand, yawned and entered the back room, leaving Liang Qu alone in the courtyard to watch the boat.

Liang Qu climbed up and down with a ladder, and after confirming all the details, there was no problem.

After reading it all, he came to the bottom of the cabin, pressed his palm on the keel, and slowly exerted force.

The entire eight-meter-long Xiaolou ship detached from the shelf, soared in the air, and shook it slightly.

The structural strength is maintained well, and it will not fall apart when touched.

Everything is ready, just wait for the night to go to the toad demon to change things.

Liang Qu rarely got nervous.

In order to trade with the toad, he invested a full hundred and seventy taels of silver.

No one wants the small building boat except for the toad, and it is not possible to go into the water, and it sinks when it is launched without twisting.

If you don't succeed, you have to smash your hands.

"I hope Brother Toad will give me some strength."

Night.

The whole Yixing Town was silent, and while no one was paying attention, Liang Qu carried the boat to the shore and entered the water from a reed swing.

The whole ship slowly sank from the water.

……

The fat catfish looked left and right, circled several times in front of the undercurrent, and the last one was ruthless and crashed forward.

After a dizziness, the fat catfish was thrown out of the undercurrent, flipped a few times and fell to the ground, spinning the world.

Inside the toad cave, the snoring shook the sky.

The mountain-like white round belly rises and falls, and the moment the fat catfish lands, the round belly rises and falls.

The earth rumbled, the whole hill toppled in half, the huge claws reached behind and scratched the buttocks, and the suppressed hill rose again.

The purr continues.

The fat catfish hit the ground several times with its head dizzy, and when it came to its senses, it looked in the direction, twitched the water, and turned into an off-string arrow.

A small circle collapsed under the white hill, and a black shadow popped out between the ups and downs, and the black shadow rose from the ground and launched one after another.

Perseverance hit more than ten times.

The huge snot bubbles exploded, the water was turbulent and vibrating, and the feathers of the firebirds were like weeds under the wind.

The toad opened its eyes blankly, and after a moment of trance, it sat up, and could see a black shadow galloping towards it from a distance.

"Little brother! It's been a long time since I saw each other, and the last time we saw each other was ......"

The toad patted its belly and leaned back in a more comfortable position, tilting its head, counting for a long time and then lowering it.

"It was still yesterday."

The fat catfish waved its long whiskers to convey information, and it was still small in front of the toad after the second evolution.

"Is there ten days? The little brother is not good at arithmetic, since the last time we met, the clam only slept once, and one sleep is a day. ”

The toad stretched out its paws and dug into the pile of debris next to it, pulling out a few sticks.

"This is called a calculation, and the clam sleeps on one, so it's a day, and the little brother remembers it wrong."

The fat catfish stared at the long stick in front of him and fell into deep thought, and it took a while to remember what he was here for.

The toad listened and sat up.

"Little brother's boat brought?"

The fat catfish shook its head.

The toad put on a scheming role.

"It's only been ten days, and it's going to be soon."

The fat catfish was confused, but felt that it made some sense, and it took the big toad to the entrance of the undercurrent.

Opposite the undercurrent.

The girder canal stands above the deck.

The boat underneath is completely submerged in the water and is very stable.

Small has small benefits, if it is a real building boat, it may not be able to pass through the undercurrent intact.

Liang Qu received the news from the fat catfish in his mind, and a huge amount of water surged, wrapped up the miniature building boat, and slowly approached the dark passage.

A third of the hull poked in, and a suction force came, and the entire building ship disappeared without a trace.

No matter how many times he observed, Liang Qu felt that this undercurrent passage was ingenious, and then hurriedly sent the remaining few masts that had not been installed into it.

The mast is too long, and it is easy to twist during transportation when loaded on a ship, so it can only be put together by the toad.

And finally......

Liang Qu glanced to the side and threw a hexagonal pillar-like thing into the undercurrent.

The hexagonal lock, Liang Qu made it himself.

It's very simple, just six pieces of wood, and a few riveted joints are cut into them.

It's just that the hexagonal lock just now is a super enlarged version, and a whole tree has to be used up for a single pillar.

I don't know if the toad likes this gift or not.

At the other end, the undercurrent suddenly surged, throwing out a black shadow.

The toad's eyes are fast, and it grips the boat in its claws, exactly the size of its webbed palm.

Then several masts jumped out, poked at its belly, and bounced and rolled down.

"Lou ship!"

The toad has studied ship models for many years and recognizes the type of ship at a glance.

"What a small ship."

Afraid that the toad would be dissatisfied, the fat catfish hurriedly explained.

"Concentrated is the essence? Seems to be a little more refined than a normal ship? ”

The toad turned the ship and skillfully inserted the mast into the reserved hole.

Seeing that the toad had been playing with the boat and had completely forgotten about the exchange, the fat catfish had to remind it of the original transaction.

"Go, go, you can take anything but the boat, but you can only change one thing for a boat."

The fat catfish nodded vigorously and rushed into the toad's nest to pick it up.

The toad can't let go of the claws of the building boat.

In the past, the ships in its collection were more or less damaged, but this one was intact.

In particular, it was the first time that I had such a novel experience of assembling the mast myself.

Syllable!

Another object smashed into its belly.

The toad picks up the unique six-cylinder body.

Something on board?
