Chapter 32 Plugging the Leak

"Young Master Jiayi, Young Master Jiayi, the bottom of the boat is starting to leak again. ”

"I'll check it out right away. ”

Kaichi was basking in the sun on the deck, and when he heard this, he hurriedly ran towards the bilge. Listening to this tone, you can know that this is not the first time that water has leaked.

It is only the second day after the Dragon's Throat Stream, and it will be another day to get to the next city, and there are places to dock on both sides, but there is no place to repair ships. Originally, it was still good when I defeated the bandits that day, but after filling the big hole in the boat, I thought there was no problem.

But I didn't expect that the day before they were eating noodles and eating happily, everyone thought it was the best thing they had eaten in their lives, and they also discussed that these bandits were really poor, and the corpses they picked up were of no value at all. At that time, the tension of the war was only an aftertaste, adding a talking point to his braggadocio bragging. When they set sail the next day, it was discovered that a thin layer of water had accumulated in the bilge, and the ship was leaking.

Although the big hole was not below the waterline, the crack at the entrance of the hole still had a bad effect on below the waterline, and in addition, Kaichi threw a grenade on the opponent's ship, and the blast wave of the bomb widened the crack again, causing a crack between the ship's plates. Although it was repaired at that time, after being soaked in water overnight, the gap did not become smaller, but was squeezed open and began to leak again.

This is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is that one of the bandits fell into the river that night and did not run away immediately, but dived to the bottom of the boat to dig a hole in the bottom of the boat, but their boat kept moving, and they did not succeed. But the bottom of the ship was indeed chiseled, but it was not chiseled. The chiseled area became weak, and slowly began to leak.

The repair of the ship is not simple, and the crew can only repair it simply, and for the sake of safety, Kaichi also used magic to repair the leaks on the ship. From the morning to now, Kaichi has gone down to the bottom of the ship to repair the boat several times, and his body is a little wet, so he came to the deck to bask in the sun, but he didn't expect the bottom of the boat to start leaking again.

When Kaichi came to the bottom of the boat, he saw a crack that was leaking, like a small water gun, and the water was shooting into the cabin, but the waterline of the boat was not deep, so the water pressure was not high, and the current was not particularly urgent.

For this kind of small cracks, the crew did not have a good way, because simply nailing the planks is ineffective, the planks and the planks are not close enough, the water will still leak in, and the gaps must be filled with fine hemp fibers mixed with mortar to plug the leakage. It's just that if it takes a long time, these mortars will be washed away by the water and continue to leak.

In the past, if you encountered such a situation, you could only make do with it first, and after dyeing, let people stare at the leaking place to avoid accidents, and then go to the dock to repair it, and then go into the water when the repaired place is stable.

But now with Jiayi, there is a better choice.

Coming to the leak, Jia Yi first used magic to clean up the burrs and the original mortar debris in the gap, and now, the leak became bigger, and the water rushed out all of a sudden, almost shooting Jia Yi in the face. While these debris and burrs may seem to fill the gaps between the planks and make the leak smaller, they are actually harmful.

Just like tartar in the human mouth, tartar can compress the gums, causing oral problems, and the debris in the cracks between the planks becomes loose with the cracks between the planks, becoming a weak point.

Seeing the water gushing out, Jia Yi hurriedly controlled the flow of water outside to form a piece of fast ice flakes, which stuck to the outside of the crack and blocked the flow of water. Anyway, wouldn't it be better to plug the cracks from the outside and clean them up first, but Kaichi has never done this before, and it seems that he enjoys the feeling of dodging the colors a little, and it is full of fun.

Although he has been a human for two lives, Jiayi's life has always been very peaceful, so he has always retained a childlike heart, and the vernacular is naΓ―ve. And there is a lack of entertainment here, and you really need to have some fun on your own, just like Guan Gu magically kneading instant noodles and oranges.

After dealing with the gap, Kaichi took out a wooden board, cut out a piece of wood of the same size with a wind blade according to the size of the gap, and then took out a piece of fish skin, turned the fish skin into fish gelatin, applied it to the wood chip, and stuffed it into the gap. Finally, he uses magic to denature the fish glue, which instantly binds the planks together. Next, he also applied glue to the front and back parts of the gap and glued it to make the glue more reliable.

Seeing that Jiayi had finished repairing, the captain who was watching said, "Young Master Jiayi, thanks to you, otherwise it would be troublesome." ”

Jia Yi stood up and smiled: "Without me, your ship will not leak, it should be me who thank you." ”

The captain waved his hand and said, "How about Fat Di and you learning to make noodles, have you learned it?"

"It should be, it should be about the same, he said that he was going to make fish noodle soup for dinner today, and he didn't know how it was. ”

Fat Di is the chef of this ship, and he is actually not very fat, but his body is bloated compared to others. When Fat Di chatted with Jia Yi, he said that he was not so fat, but after becoming a chef, people began to teach him Fat Di. It seems that people have the impression that a chef should be fat. Slowly, he really got fat, and the title of Fat Di was confirmed.

However, Kaichi believes that this is because the food he cooked is so unpalatable that no one eats it, so he can only eat it himself, and then he slowly becomes fat, and the chef is reluctant to waste the food he makes. Because Jia Yi feels that Fat Di really lacks the talent to be a chef, even if he teaches him himself, he will always not be able to learn.

After a long day, he always didn't fry the fish well, often broke the fish or scorched the arrows, and he wanted to make noodles tonight, and he didn't know what it was. If the fish is not fried well, then the fish soup is not so delicious, and the fish noodle soup is not good.

The captain said, "Let's go and see, and if we don't do well, we can make amends." Your side is a little too complicated, and I'm always not at ease with Fat Di. ”

"Okay, let's go see how Fat Di is. ”

After arriving at the kitchen, Fat Di hadn't started frying the fish yet, and was mixing noodles, but it just seemed that this noodles were a little too much, and they were about to fill the pot, and they were a little out of harmony.

"Why do you put so many noodles? If you don't open it like this, there will be lumps in it, and the noodles won't taste good." ”

"That, I put noodles according to what you said, and then add water, that is, the water is a little too much, you say that you can add some noodles if you have more water, and after adding it, it is a little dry, so I add some water, and after adding water, it is a little rotten, and then I add noodles again, and that's it, unconsciously, there are more noodles. Fat Di said while kneading his dough hard.

Jia Yi was full of black lines, he didn't expect it to be like this, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and came to Fat Di's side: "You can put up this dough, it looks a little dry, but keep kneading it, and it's okay to knead the dough well." Take a basin and divide it into half and knead it, so you can't knead it at all. ”

"Fat Di, you can't be a chef, how could I think of letting you be a chef at the time, you have to think about it, the brothers have all eaten Jiayi's fish soup noodles, if you are too far worse than Jiayi's, everyone will not let you go easily." ”

"This, this is just a small problem, it will be fine in two days, the mood of the big battle the night before yesterday has not been replied to, and it will be fine in two days. ”

"Is there you?"

"I threw a few salted fish to them, why didn't I have them, and I also took the lid of the pot to block an arrow for you, and the lid of the pot was broken, and I almost shot me. ”

"Knead the dough well, the fish hasn't been fried yet, if the fish is not fried well, in fact, it is okay to change the bones, the bones just need to blanch the surface of the foam, it is simpler." Jiayi said a few words, thinking that bone broth is really a good idea, and bone broth can keep burning and boiling all the time.

However, fish can be caught on the boat, and bones cannot always go ashore to hunt, and it is difficult to obtain materials.

The most important thing is to reconcile the noodles first.
