Chapter 369: The lucky ship is launched, and the reward is received (4k)

The yellow-headed Zun jumped up and down, with its scales flowing with a soft golden luster.

Otter opened his claws to knock the fish's head unconscious, pinched the fish's tail and threw it on its back, took it to the courtyard, and raised it in a large tank with the seven-color stream given by the old toad.

The dragon man gave the treasure fish, which was a pleasant surprise.

The concern about snatching two baskets of crabs disappeared, how could two baskets of crabs be worth hundreds of taels of silver?

"Don't blame me if you don't want to listen to my explanation."

Liang Qu repeatedly explained to Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe that he was not the reincarnation of the Jianghuai Dragon King, and denied it decisively without any vague hints.

All the actions of the dragon man now are voluntary gifts, which have nothing to do with him!

No initiative, no refusal, no responsibility.

If you insist on giving the treasure fish, there is no way.

When the fat catfish saw the god accept the treasure fish, his long beard drooped, and he looked a little disappointed.

There is no hope for the servants of the Catfish State.

It is difficult to avenge the dragon man.

Half a month later.

Longping River and Longping River sent two precious fish to Liang's house one after another. Liang did not show up, but waited at the underground river mouth, waiting for the water beasts that came in and out every day to take them.

On average, one fish was caught every four or five days. Although the number was not as much as the fat catfish, they caught more every day, but the quality was extremely high. They were all the best-grade precious fish in the "Fish Record".

Each one sold out was worth at least a hundred taels of silver!

It was really easy to make money.

Liangqu did nothing, but there were dragon people who sent precious fish for no reason.

Jiaolong, you did a good job!

…

Early November.

Beginning of winter.

The tree pool was full of fallen leaves.

The colorful rainbow swayed its long tail, and the layers of water waves reflected the glow.

Beside the pool, the river otters moved huge trees, the beavers rushed to work, and worked together to make new ship models and insert ribs on the small keel. It was a thriving and prosperous scene.

Only Taotaokai did not help, did not practice boxing, and did not think about making progress.

He hugged the scarred river otter wood carving that was a one-to-one replica of the big beaver, and bit it with his teeth, leaving dense holes.

In the fight yesterday, it was abused by Scarface's family again, so it had to vent its anger on the wood carving.

Scarface is Taotaokai's lifelong enemy!

Compared with the Liang residence, Taotaokai's deep hatred, Liu Quanfu's courtyard was full of joy.

Liangqu, Chaqing, and Fan Zixuan gathered together.

The surrounding boatmen and apprentices gathered around, watching how the three would carry it.

Starting from the summer of late August to the beginning of winter today, the huge Fuchuan was finally completed and delivered!

The bitter smell of tung oil filled the air.

Liu Quanfu, wearing a cotton coat, guided Chaqing to dismantle the stacked wooden structure that supported the Fuchuan.

When the bracket loosened, a huge tree on one side rolled down. Fan Zixuan, who was on the side of the boat, stepped forward and shouted to use his shoulder to support the falling boat.

Cha Qing took the opportunity to loosen the connecting structure in other places, and the entire huge wooden bracket seemed to have its spine pulled out and scattered.

The Fu ship was shaking.

The onlookers exclaimed.

Cha Qing immediately jumped off the bow and supported the bottom of the boat with Fan Zixuan to stabilize the Fu ship that was about to fall.

Liang Qu came to the bow and touched the keel of the bottom of the boat with both hands.

"One, two, three, rise!"

The three heard the command and exerted their strength together. The whole Fu ship, which was nearly six meters long, shook and floated.

Liu Quanfu and his apprentices and helpers were stunned.

They had to work together to lift the thick wooden boards, but only three martial artists could lift the entire Fu ship!

"Master Liang is so awesome!"

"I heard that a martial artist can stop dozens of running horses! Now I see the real thing."

"What now? This summer, Master Liang caught a water beast and lifted it from west to east. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, I remember now."

"The martial artist has such magical power, no wonder he doesn't need a dock."

To build a big ship, a normal person needs to dig a big pit on the shore first.

After the ship is built, a hole is dug to lead water into the pit, and the ship floats and sails into the river.

The big pit is called a "dock". The larger the scale of the shipyard, the better the dock, which is convenient for rapid batch shipbuilding. This is the most convenient.

But martial artists are not normal people. With the physical strength of a galloping horse martial artist who can easily stop dozens of tall and handsome horses, let alone three people, two people are more than enough to lift a six-zhang lucky ship.

Even as a freak among galloping horses, Liang Qu is enough, and there is no need to worry about the issue of docks.

But Liang Qu was worried that if he lifted it alone, the force bearing surface would be too small and it would be easy to shake.

There was a long way to go before and after putting it into the lake, so it was hard to guarantee that it would not bump into anything.

It was too unlucky for a large ship that took two and a half months to build to be damaged before it was launched, and needed to be repaired twice, so he called two of his men, the River God, to help.

Seeing the lucky ship lifted, Liang Qu shouted: "Uncle Fu, open the door in front!"

Liu Quanfu came back to his senses from the shock, and hurriedly led his apprentices and helpers to open the door.

Liang Qu compared the width of the door and looked at Fan Zixuan in the middle: "The door is narrow, we can't get through, raise your hands higher, be careful not to hit the wall under the boat!"

"We two have watched carefully, there will be no mistakes."

"Don't worry, sir Liang, just keep going forward! Not to mention a Fu ship, the two building ships from the river port are coming today, we two have to hold it!"

After checking, Fan Zixuan responded one after another, full of energy.

Liang Qu saw that the two had no problem, moved his legs and moved forward.

During the period, the three of them always kept a straight line, raised their arms high, carried the Fu ship out of the yard, turned a big corner, turned from the small road to Qingshi Street, and slowly rushed to Shangrao Port in the surprised eyes of passers-by.

The Fu ship is 18 meters long, nearly 60 feet, plus the width and height, a rather exaggerated large ship, attracting a large number of onlookers.

"Mom, what a big boat!"

"Is this a lucky boat? There is one of similar style in the river bank, which is used as a warship."

"Master Liang has risen through the ranks. He took the small sampan he rode on a year ago! I don't even dare to think about what kind of boat will be replaced today next year. I can't say that all the big boats that came to the river belong to Master Liang!"

"Sampan? Mr. Liang used a sampan before?"

"Are you from a foreign country?"

"My home is in Nanxun Township next door, Thirteen and Fourteen Miles away. I don't know much about it. I am coming to Pingyang Town to buy some things."

Several local villagers couldn't help but look proud when they saw foreigners.

Shangrao Port.

The Shenzhen Harbor for large ships was built long ago. The long trestle extends a hundred meters from the shore to the depths of Daze. It is not far away from the place where the fishing boats originally docked. There is a large merchant ship moored on each side to carry cargo down.

After winter, the fields are not busy, the fish catch is getting less and less, and the villagers are basically in a state of eating and storing food.

Farmers and fishermen often come to the port to work hard and earn money by moving goods. The competition is fierce, and the wages have reached the level of three copper coins a day.

Liang Qu always suspected that the copper coins they earned were not enough to buy a few extra mouthfuls of rice and oil after a hard day's work.

Approaching the trestle, Liang Qu saw Lin Songbao waiting on the road. Beside him were two men from the fishing pen, each holding a red cloth, an incense burner, and a box of chicken, duck and fish in their arms.

"You don't have to go into the water, I'll do it!"

Fan Zixuan shouted loudly, stepped forward, and changed direction in tacit agreement with Zha Qing. Regardless of Liang Qu's obstruction, he pushed him to the back and stepped into the water first. The river water spread up along his trouser legs, forming a dark color.

Cha Qing in front turned around and shouted: "Master Liang, please let go, don't worry, leave it to us, nothing will go wrong."

Fan Zixuan responded: "Yes, don't worry, Mr. Liang, if we can't handle this little thing, we will have no shame in continuing to be Hebo!"

Liang Qu couldn't resist his kindness, so he had to let go of his hand: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"There's no hard work, I'm not tired at all!"

"Master Liang, as a Du Shui Lang, changing the ship is a business matter! The two of us should do our best!"

Fan Zixuan found out that the two men carried the lucky boat into Daze, and their clothes were soaked by the muddy water that emerged.

The water level got deeper and deeper, covering my chest.

Fan Zixuan and Cha Qing took a deep breath, kicked the ground together, and the entire lucky boat slid forward along the current.

boom!

The entire lucky boat was completely submerged in the water.

The ship's ribs collided with the big swamp, splashing out layers of water foam, spreading far away, and then offset by the river waves.

Wait for a moment.

The lucky boat does not tilt, tip, or sink, and floats steadily on the water.

"good!"

"Nice ship!"

Cheers erupted from the shore!

Liang Qu couldn't help but applaud, and his whole body felt relieved.

Liu Quanfu's nervous heart relaxed slightly.

On both sides of the boat, Fan Zixuan and Zha Qing wiped off the water stains on their faces, walked back to the shore through the sand, took off their clothes and wrung them dry.

Liu Quanfu hurriedly thanked him for his hard work, then turned around and called to his apprentice behind him: "Quick, get in the boat and see if there is any water leakage."

Even with the help of Master Lou, Liu Quanfu, who was building a ship for the first time, still felt uncertain.

But he was also excited.

On the one hand, Liang Qu paid a lot, and every time he worked, his wages were basically much higher than others.

On the other hand, it was Liu Quanfu's qualifications to actually build a ship.

To build a ship, you need to know carpentry, but those who know carpentry may not be able to build a ship.

Liu Quanfu learned a lot from Master Lou. With such shipbuilding skills, he will no longer be an ordinary carpenter wherever he goes from now on.

Even if Liang Qu doesn't need some weird gadgets in the future, Liu Quanfu's life will definitely be better than before.

After giving the instructions, a short apprentice rode a sampan to the side of the ship, grabbed the rope on the side of the ship and went to the deck. He immediately threw a pontoon made of driftwood and ropes from above, and brought Liang Qu and others up.

Fan Zixuan and Cha Qing returned to the shore and waved repeatedly to Liang Qu's invitation to come on board the boat to watch.

"The two of us were soaked and it looked dirty when we got on the boat, so we didn't go on board."

Fan Zixuan and Cha Qing finally found the opportunity, so they naturally had to perform well and be extremely humble in every move.

Liang Qu understood the two people's thoughts and felt a little sad.

When I was He Bo, I didn't even think about trying to please anyone.

Time is also destiny.

Liang Qu did not force himself and followed Liu Quanfu to inspect the cabins one by one.

Make sure that no cabin caulking is not in place, causing water leakage.

While Liang Qu was inspecting, the two men in the fishing pen stepped onto the deck under the command of Lin Songbao, laid out wooden tables, set up incense burners, stacked chicken, duck and fish, and hung flags and flags on the mast and along the ship's edge.

Whenever a large ship is launched into the water, it must be sacrificed to the river god.

I pray that your future voyage will be smooth and safe.

It's just that compared with the river god sacrifice in the whole place, this kind of sacrifice is not complicated, the scale is small, there are not so many rules, and it is mostly meant to fool oneself and comfort oneself.

After inspecting the cabin, Liang Qu walked out of the ship with satisfaction.

Lin Songbao lit the long incense and took three steps forward to hand it over.

There were crowds of people on the shore, and the wind was making waves.

White smoke curls up.

Liang Qu took the incense and faced the vast Jianghuai Daze. He said a few words about his future expectations and hoped that the river god would take care of him. He bowed three times to the Jianghuai Daze and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

At this point, the ship is completely delivered.

Everyone present has Panasonic Boulder in mind.

Liang Qu was extremely happy. He walked around the deck and looked down at Daze and the port, feeling refreshed.

It's so refreshing. It's so refreshing.

The feeling of a big ship is completely different from that of a sampan. It has a wide view of the space and is quite comfortable!

The sampan, the awning, the boat, and now the 18-meter-long Dafu boat.

Big is good, big is beautiful!

Although the awning and boat have a hazy feeling of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, their practicality still depends on the big boat!

In the future, I will lead a team into the depths of Daze to fish for treasure fish. I will have my own big boat, so I don’t know how much easier it will be to move around and do things.

However, Jiang Da's boatman training must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

I don’t know what Otter is doing in the pond. The comfortable days are coming to an end.

Liang Qu was in a happy mood. He gave the fisherman five taels of silver and went to treat the villagers on the shore to drink tea.

Naturally, it caused another round of cheers.

There were waves of generous congratulations from Mr. Liang.

Lin Songbao took the opportunity to suggest: "Brother Shui is happy to have a new boat. Why don't you raise the sails and take the helm and go for a spin in the big swamp?"

Liang Qu's heart moved slightly. Whether the boat was good or not, he really had to make a circle to know.

"Can the boat move now?"

The boatman hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Liang. If you can get into the water, you can naturally move. Although shipbuilding and sailing are two different things, we understand a little bit."

"Okay, let's take a spin then! Treat everyone to dinner later!"

"Okay." The boatman who replied straightened his back and looked at the people behind him, "Who's going to raise the sail!"

"I come!"

"I'll take the helm!"

The helpers at the riverside volunteered and got back to work. They each acted as temporary watermen and raised all the sails of the big ship, casting a huge shadow on everyone.

The white sails bulged, and the whole blessing ship suddenly accelerated like a giant eagle with spread wings, passing through the shadows of waves along the waterway, and drifted under the sun like flying.

Liang Qu stood on the bow of the boat, his clothes flying in the air.

Looking around, there is sparkling water.

The river wind carrying rich water vapor blows in your face, penetrates deeply into your lungs, and then comes out with exhalation.

All the exhaust gas comes out!

On the shore, Fan Zixuan looked at the lucky boat in the distance and felt envious.

When could I have such a big ship?

Look at the expressions of your colleagues and you will know what they are thinking.

Who isn't?

There was a lot of excitement until noon, when the lucky ship slowly docked at the port.

Everyone got off the boat one after another.

Liang Qu funded a hotel nearby and invited Liu Quanfu, a group of boatmen, and Fan Zixuan, Lin Songbao and others who came to help to have a meal.

By the way, check out Liu Quanfu.

A good canopy bed is dozens of taels in size, let alone an 18-meter ship.

Ridiculously expensive.

Counting the recent expenses for entertaining guests, purchasing furniture, digging ponds, and increasing flower gardens, Liang Qu spent another two thousand taels without realizing it.

But Liang Qu didn't care much about his lavishness.

What goes out and what comes in.

With Daze as my back, there is always a way to make money, it’s just that I have to eat all the good stuff.

The purpose of making money is to make yourself comfortable.

Uncomfortable, money is just like making money in vain.

afternoon.

Liang Qu handed Lao Tridac a boatman's manual and asked him to teach Jiang Ot, practice and become familiar with the boatman skills, and strive to get started as soon as possible, while he held Fu Bo and practiced in the courtyard.

After Fu Bo replenished his spirituality, Liang Qu became more and more interested in practicing marksmanship, and felt exhausted if he didn't practice for a day.

Evening has not yet arrived.

Smoke was burning in the kitchen.

Chen Jiechang came to Liangquhebo and told Mr. Li to find him about the reward.

When Liang Qu heard about the reward, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Double happiness!"

Not only did I receive a lucky boat today, but I also received a flood control reward!

Chishan comes and goes like a strong wind.

Liang Qu ignored the rope, turned over and dismounted, left a message not to run around, and quickly entered the document room.

When Li Shoufu saw Liang Qu crossing the threshold in a hurry, he didn't say anything nonsense. He turned around and took out a large wooden box from the small room of the document room. He took the key from Master Huang next to him, opened the lock, and took half a step back.

Liang Qu couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, and what he saw was a treasure box with the names of two treasures written on it.

Morning dewworm!

Dry wind narcissus!

Further down, there is the "Blue Dragon Killing Sutra" that is included in the brocade bag and reflects the name!

Three treasures, all arrived!

"Looking at the entire Huaiyin Mansion Hebo, Mr. Liang is the first one who can borrow great merit in advance."

Li Shoufu was sincerely convinced.
