Chapter 406
Jiang Shuisheng's thoughts were twitching slightly as he looked at Hong Lianshuo with his dark eyes and suddenly smiled and said, "Skilled craftsmen like these are treasures and cannot be cultivated overnight."
"Yes! So there is still a long way to go from drawing to finished product." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bottomless eyes and said, "But confidentiality work must be done well."
"Don't worry! We will do our best." Chief Yang said solemnly.
When Hong Lianshuo heard this, his eyebrows turned into crescents and he smiled. This requires practical action and perseverance.
Hong Lianshuo suddenly remembered and changed the subject and said, "By the way, those scraps can be used to make furniture. If this is a Kang bed, all the low tables in the house will have to be raised, so we can't make them again!"
"That's okay." Patriarch Yang said with a smile, "You really made the best use of everything."
"Don't waste it!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his shining black eyes and said.
"A bit strange?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them and said.
"What's weird?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at her suspiciously and asked.
"Why are there all old ships here? Don't you build new ones?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with doubts in his eyes and asked.
Lu Dahai was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "That's because our ships are so strong that they can still be watertight even without major repairs for more than ten years."
"Ah!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them in surprise and said, "You must have worked hard on this!"
"Yes!" Lu Dahai looked at them with a smile and said, "In addition to the fine manufacturing, it is inseparable from the clan uncle who painstakingly studied how to seal." He patted the hull and said, "Look at the space between the planks of this ship.
There are gaps, and you will see that these gaps will be more obvious in winter. Therefore, whether new or old boats, these gaps must be sealed before launching. We call them twisting boats. The twisting boats use lime and soybean oil.
If the mixed putty is not twisted for one or two years, the boat will leak. This hemp rope is a good thing, it can absorb oil and has good pulling force. If added to the putty, it can last for many years. The newly-plated wooden bow has almost no need for maintenance in three years.
Yes, only ship twisting and basic maintenance will occur in the fourth year."
"Ah! Calculating it this way, it won't cost much money." Jiang Shuisheng looked at them with bright eyes and said.
"Yes! How about we build our own ships!" Lu Dahai said with a smile, "If we can save money, we will save money. If we can do it ourselves, we will not spend any money on it."
"No wonder there are so many boats!" Jiang Shuisheng said in surprise.
Patriarch Yang smiled proudly and said, "Our village is considered to be a better village in the county."
But in Hong Lianshuo's opinion, even though he was skilled and could go fishing and farm, his life was very poor and he could only say that the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were too heavy.
"Okay, I'll leave this model behind and study it slowly." Hong Lianshuo said as he walked on the soft sand.
"Okay!" Patriarch Yang responded with a smile.
Hong Lianshuo looked at the sun and said, "Let's go! It's time for them to come back."

The four people walked through the village and reached the beach in front.
"Haiwazi and the three of them are working hard to contact the county magistrate." Chief Yang stood on the beach and looked at the endless sea road. The people who went out to fish have not yet arrived.
"Is there any news?" Hong Lianshuo asked, tilting his head slightly and looking at him.
"No." Patriarch Yang shook his head and said.
"No news is good news." Hong Lianshuo raised his lips and smiled when he heard this.
"I'm afraid that it will delay your business." Patriarch Yang said with some worry.
"As long as no one discovers our existence." Hong Lianshuo was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, what she needs now is time.
"That's good." Patriarch Yang said with a relieved smile, "Yandu City is now a city of death, no one dares to go there." He said with some regret in his heart: Our life is not easy, it is also because of this fish sale
How many people are there in the county if we don't get to Yandu City? How many can we buy?
"That's right! I'll dry all the leftover fish for you." Patriarch Yang looked directly at her and said.
"I saw fish on the wheat field, and the curtains were covered with fish." Hong Lianshuo smiled and suddenly remembered, "Didn't I tell you to keep some fish as reward?"
"A little is enough for us." Patriarch Yang said with a smile.
"Go to the city and sell it!" Jiang Shuisheng said simply and easily.
"There are only so many people in the city, and there are so many fish, so if we can't sell them at a high price, we might as well dry them in the sun!" Patriarch Yang said with a smile, "The main thing is that we brought back too many fish. We used to catch fish.
It's quite plentiful, but nothing like this, so much that it seems like a dream."
When Hong Lianshuo heard this, he looked at them with bright black eyes and said with a smile, "It mainly depends on the help of the big guys. They will drive the fish over. It can't be done without thinking too much."
"Is that so?" Lu Dahai looked at her doubtfully and asked.
"Do you know about hunting?" Hong Lianshuo said with a smile.
"I understand." Lu Dahai nodded and said, "No wonder there are so many." He smiled and asked, "They don't come often!"
"I don't know about that." Hong Lianshuo shook his head slightly after hearing this.
"If we come here often, we will have a better time this winter." Lu Dahai said with a smile, "I won't have to work too hard fishing."
"The boat is back." Lu Dahai said excitedly, looking at the black spots appearing on the sea and sky, "I'll go there first."
"Go!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with bright black eyes and said.
Lu Dahai bowed his hands to them, and then ran like a trestle.
"Shui Sheng, why don't you come over and take a look?" Hong Lianshuo asked, looking at Jiang Shuisheng who was standing motionless beside him.
"Don't be in a hurry, you have to take some time to come back." Jiang Shuisheng tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said with a smile.
"Then sit down and talk. The sun is warming you up." Hong Lianshuo said and sat on the soft sand.
Jiang Shuisheng and Patriarch Yang also sat down and looked at Tao Fei and the others running on the beach.
"Ms. Hong, why did you only bring us here?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at her with some confusion and asked, "Many of my sisters have never seen the sea!"
"They are sewing everyone's winter clothes. They will come when they are finished." Hong Lianshuo looked at him in surprise and said.
"Sewn for us?" Jiang Shuisheng pointed to himself and said in surprise.
"I don't mind if you want to sew it yourself." Hearing this, Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile in his dark eyes and teased.
"No, no, no! My hands are so big that even a mallet won't work for me, and I can't hold the embroidery needle." Jiang Shuisheng lowered his head and looked at his rough, big hands.
Patriarch Yang looked at them with clear black and white eyes and said, "Sisters?"
"There are not only men in Yandu City, there are also many women." Hong Lianshuo tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said.
"No wonder it always feels weird." Patriarch Yang said with a smile on his face, "If women come, they should live in the village! It's too cold at the seaside."
Look at infrastructure: I am trying to survive in troubled times.
