Chapter 361 Goodbye Toad
The courtyard is wide, with giant trees criss-crossing each other to form a supporting platform to support towering boats.
There are many masts, and passers-by all stand apart from the fence and look up at the majesty of the six-foot-long fortune ship.
Stand under the bow of the ship.
The wood is quiet, the tung oil is burnt and bitter, and the autumn cinnamon is fragrant.
The three are mixed and intertwined to form a unique new breath.
Without exception, the craftsmen stopped their work and watched Liang Qu go around the ship, stepping onto the unpainted deck and inspecting the structure of each cabin.
Liu Quanfu grabbed the rope and followed closely, taking the initiative to introduce the cabins inside the ship, while reporting on the progress and estimated construction period.
“After receiving the materials from your house in September, we built the lucky boat according to the drawings.
Needless to say, the materials sent by Mr. Liang were cut perfectly and fit perfectly. I have been working for decades, old man, and I have never seen such beautiful hand work!
This is actually the hardest part of carpentry work.
For the rest, just follow the drawings step by step. Even if you are not a carpenter, you can still do it if you are careful and clever enough.
As you can see now, the main structure is basically built. Only some parts need to be polished and the inserts are polished. Finally, they need to be painted with tung oil. In the past, they were painted and used the same day. Ten hours was enough for the tung oil to dry, but the boat could not be launched into the water.
It cannot be done now. It will take at least one day for the tung oil to completely dry and solidify. Most of the next time will be spent waiting for the materials to dry. The progress is basically certain, so Mr. Liang, please rest assured that it will be completed before early November! "
Liang Qu was very satisfied.
As a river station official, you need to know some about water conservancy, and you also need to know something about ship construction.
Not to mention being familiar with the structures of various types of ships, at least you have to know how much manpower, how much wood, and how long it takes to complete a big ship, so as to avoid being assigned ridiculous tasks in the future.
Except for some differences in ships built with treasure materials, normally building a large ship will take three months if the materials and manpower are sufficient.
The large boat recorded in "Shi Liu Dao Ji" took exactly three months from the time the court ordered it to the completion of its construction.
But it was an eight-foot-long ship, which was larger than Liang Qu's lucky ship.
Considering that Liu Quanfu was not an expert, even with Heli's help, it was quite good to be able to complete it in more than two months.
"Uncle Fu can deliver the ship in November, which is much faster than I thought."
Liu Quanfu said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of the masters at the Hebo Institute, a lot of manpower will be provided in September to provide personal guidance and experience, otherwise we would be in a hurry."
Liang Qu turned around: "Master? What master?"
Liu Quanfu was stunned: "Sir, you don't know?"
Liang Qu shook his head.
"Lou Yingji, Master Lou! Isn't it said that every seventh-grade official and above in the river park will be sent by the imperial court to send a shipbuilder to help build his own exclusive boat seat? Don't you know?"
Is there such a thing?
As a Du Shui Lang himself, Liang Qu didn't know about Du Shui Lang's benefits and benefits?
"Master Lou brought more than a dozen helpers that day, and we were also puzzled, but Master Lou was indeed the shipbuilder of Hebo Institute. He understood all the unclear things written on the drawings.
Master Lou also told us that his son is now a river chief in Pingyang County. Do you have any impression of that? "
"He Chief..."
Liang Qu chewed the vocabulary.
There are nine river chiefs under him. I remember correctly, and among them there happens to be a young man named Lou, who is twenty-one years old.
"Uncle Fu, how old is the Master Lou you are talking about?"
"He said that he was born in the year of the Ox and was born to be a hard worker. He was worried about the boys in his family. I looked at his face and he should be forty-five."
Liang Qu raised his eyebrows: "Then I have an impression."
"That's right!" Liu Quanfu breathed a sigh of relief, worried that he had really been deceived, "Master Lou taught me a lot of things. The masters in the imperial court are different from those in the countryside. I have never heard of many techniques. , It’s amazing, just a little bit…”
Liu Quanfu and Xu Xu chattered.
Liang Qu knew the cause and effect, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.
There was no mention of helping with the shipbuilding. It was obviously Master Lou who took the opportunity to express his goodwill.
Forty-five, twenty-one.
The relationship between the two is mostly that of father and son.
The Master Lou mentioned by Liu Quanfu must have had a lot of money to send his son to Liang Qu.
The people above paid attention to Liang Qu.
The people below are also paying attention.
Who you work for as a servant and the character of your boss will all have a say in your future prospects.
Although the distribution of Hebo's chief took place before the flood, Liangqu, who had jumped two levels in order to clear out the Ghost Mother Cult, had already made a name for himself.
So corrupt.
The bad atmosphere of society has been blown in unconsciously.
When Ran Zhongshi drew up the list, he probably received a lot of kickbacks quietly.
Liang Qu secretly remembered that Lou's surname was He Chang. He got off the lucky boat that smelled of tung oil and looked back on the lucky boat with great relief.
Everything proceeds in an orderly manner.
A little calculation shows that early November is probably the time when all rewards are concentrated.
There is a high probability of obtaining heavenly materials and earthly treasures worth five great merits, half a volume of "Qinglong Killing Sutra", plus a lucky boat.
All major events are gathered together at one node, which is quite a bit like waiting for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
Thriving!
good!
Osawa.
The water waves stirred up the long grass and floated into the distance. The eels poked out of the mud holes and let out air bubbles.
Behind the rocks, Longpingjiang and Longpinghe hid their figures, looking at the big fish that looked like they were fishing for crabs in the river, but in fact they kept looking left and right.
After grabbing the crabs that day, they had a delicious meal. Early the next morning, the two brothers discovered that the strange fish clinging to the fish basket and picking up big crabs had reappeared.
It was just that the other party's intention was too obvious. Not only did he return to the old place, but he also fished for crabs with his eyes slanted, and looked back from time to time...
This was not fishing for crabs, it was clearly fishing for dragons!
Long Pinghe was indignant: "Brother, that fish is really arrogant, let's grab it again!"
For several days in a row, Quan Neng saw that the fish had obvious intentions to fish for people, which was really outrageous.
Long Pingjiang hesitated.
"Not so good, right?"
...
The next morning.
The autumn water was bleak, and the fish basket was empty.
The fat catfish floated on the water with no desire to live, and the yellowed fallen leaves stuck to its white belly.
The plum blossoms bloomed twice...
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
TaTaKai stood on the pond stone and laughed sharply.
The fat catfish was furious and swung its tail to pull the TaoTaKai into the water.
It's useless to hit the bricks for 300 yuan every day!
"It's over now."
Liang Qu sighed and took out the iron pot to comfort the fat catfish, "Today is a crab feast! If you can't catch it, you can't catch it. Just let it go. Come and try the crab roe noodles just out of the pot!"
On the eighth day of catching crabs, the whole pond was full of fish baskets, which was more than enough to entertain guests.
The masters of Langyunlou also arrived before dawn. There were three masters and twenty apprentices working together to dismantle crabs and make preparations. Money was spent like water.
The big pot of crab roe noodles was just brought out from the kitchen, and the host tasted it first.
It's not Ah Fei's fault for the dragon man's affairs.
The fat catfish was refreshed, and his two long whiskers swung. He didn't care about the pain in the back of his head, and he came to the edge of the pond and opened his mouth wide.
Liang Qu shoveled out a bowl and poured it into its mouth. The hot and salty fragrance exploded.
The fat catfish scraped the grease at the bottom of the bowl with his whiskers, closed his mouth and chewed it.
All worries are gone!
Can't move, fists, all of them.
"Chief Beaver, eat!"
The big beaver, who had noticed the food distribution earlier and was too embarrassed to come forward, slapped the ground with his flat tail, immediately put down the half-gnawed wood stake in his hand, and ran over with his own wooden bowl.
Beavers, river otters, each animal received their own portion.
As all the animals were feasting.
A frog opened the lotus leaf on its head and poked its head out of the pond.
"What delicious food are you eating?"
