Chapter 553: Walking in Splendid Clothes at Night
The people on the shuttle boat crossed and waved the letter flags, and the strong warriors used the long pole to slowly push the big boat away from the shore.
Liang Quxing stepped on the deck.
Every piece of wood is tightly fitted, without any looseness or abnormal sound.
The new ship is nearly twice as big as the Japanese ship. Looking out over the river, you have a wide field of vision and feel refreshed!
"Uncle Fu's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
"The master at the shipyard taught me well."
Liu Quanfu looked happy and personally led the way, leading Liang Qu to inspect the cabins one by one.
Otter opened his four paws and led Xiaojiang Otter to pass by, taking the lead in reviewing and familiarizing himself with his new boat.
Pass by the wheelhouse.
The two young Jiangnen were just going about their business, quietly running to a corner to mark their peeing, but Lalanlan opened her teeth and yelled at them, grabbing her by the back of the neck and dragging them away.
"The entire Fu ship is seven feet three feet long, two feet three feet wide, and the total cabin...--the bottom floor is all watertight. Even if one part is damaged, it will not hinder navigation."
"How many people can it carry?"
If there are more than 20 watermen and 60 soldiers sleeping in bunks, it will not be a problem, that is, the total number of people will be more than 80. If you go out on the boat to catch treasure fish in July, you should have seen the rush to increase the number of boats, that's what happened. "
"Where's the single room with all sleeping rooms?"
"Twenty or so."
"It's not enough."
Liang Qu counted the number of cabins.
The master and his wife have designated a few servants to accompany them, ranging from two or three to five or six. Not counting the dragon brothers who serve in Hebo, there are five of them here.
Helian Nianci and Guan Congjian must have servants and at least five rooms. Together with the rest of the brothers...-, "Don't you have an old fortune ship? Why don't you just connect the boats with iron ropes and build two boards? Two boats and more than thirty cabins are more than enough."
"Indeed."
If there are fish pulling the boat, the speed will not be slow. There is no need to force one treasure boat into one. It is much more comfortable to divide it into two boats.
Master, there is no problem with cabins one, two and three! Well sealed! "
"Four, five, and six, too!"
Liu Quanfu's apprentices on the ship came forward one after another to summarize and inspect the situation.
The otter pushed away the two men and then came out biting and screaming. The watermen around him were not surprised. Liu Quanfu said: "As you can see, the sea trial is fine. I put it in the river for another night and there is still no sign of water leakage in each cabin." , you can use it with confidence.”
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, come and get the red envelope!"
After receiving the new ship, Liang Qu was in a great mood and immediately decided to let La La give out wedding money to everyone. Liu Quanfu received five taels of silver alone, and the remaining apprentices lined up in a long queue, one tael per person, and took the pieces of silver from Jiang Lao's paws one by one. , extremely happy.
This isn’t just wages, it’s an extra red envelope!
The hand holding the rope became stronger and stronger.
The sails bulged.
Shaking shadows fell on everyone.
As a treasure ship, the large Aoki ship has almost no water resistance. It floats like a fallen leaf spinning in the wind, crossing heavy water waves and flying.
After turning around on the surface of the lake, the trial voyage was successful. The ship returned to the shore, slowly anchored, and docked in the port.
Liang Qu stepped down the wooden ladder. The young man built a ladder on the bow of the ship and stood in front carrying a brush and a three-color paint bucket. "Master Liang, the dragon is facing down or forward?"
"Go down.
"okay!"
After measuring the distance between the two sides, the young man marked it with soapstone, dipped the brush in paint, and drew two large circles, one on the left and one on the left, which looked like the two big eyes of the ship.
This is called "dragon eye", and the size and shape are all particular. For every one foot long of the keel, the dragon eye is four inches long.
The eyes of fishing boats look down to find schools of fish; the eyes of merchant ships look forward to know the way.
Liang Qu kept his identity as a fisherman in mind.
Catch more fish.
Catch good fish.
I plan to leave for Huangzhou the day after tomorrow. I will leave all the supply matters to Uncle Fu, including the cost of the cabin and the ice platform. I will also buy two maps and mark the points in the middle that are convenient for docking for supply. The money will be settled at that time. . "
Huangzhou is a great place. I heard that Pengze and Lushan are not far to the south. Don’t worry, sir! Never make a mistake! "
Qingjiang Shipyard is not only responsible for shipbuilding, but also includes daily maintenance and supplies after the ship is launched. In addition to the river mooring, other merchant ships can enjoy the service for a fee of silver.
One sentence.
If you have money, you don't have to worry about anything.
Three days passed by.
The sun was shining brightly, and the river was dazzlingly bright. The Aoki boat was full of supplies. Otter opened the book and took inventory of the rice, fruits, and ice cellars in turn.
Jiang Da, who was temporarily seconded by the Scarface family, stood up straight and accepted Shuifu's on-the-job training from Liang Zhai.
"Old Bei, please keep an eye on the pool and don't let Old Clam and Old Turtle mess around."
"Uncle Chen, I'm going on a long trip. Could you please help me keep an eye on my family?"
"Little things."
Yang's Martial Arts School.
Several carts stopped at the door, and the horses swung their tails.
Hu Qi carried the large and small bags to Changsong, looked at Li Libo, Chen Jiechang and Lin Songbao, and gave them patient instructions.
‘I will leave all the matters in the martial arts school to you. Don’t let them cause trouble. After teaching this group, we will not accept disciples for the time being until we come back. "
"Senior brother, don't worry."
After repeated warnings, the two got on the cart and rushed to Shangrao Port.
The other disciples had nothing important to do, so they arrived early and had already started to clean up their rooms. Liang Qu jumped off the bow of the boat to help, and looked back: "Where are the fourth and sixth senior brothers? Why are they not together?"
"Oh, the two of them went to the chief helm of Langyun Tower to ask for Master Fei. They will go in the morning and should be there soon." Xiang Changsong carried a change of clothes on his back.
Liang Qu wondered: "Jia Shuaifu? What Jia Shuaifu?"
"A master of Bai An, who specializes in making pastries and noodles. The one in our Pingyang Mansion is this one!" Xiang Changsong gave a thumbs up, "Junior Brother, you should remember that last year you held a crab banquet, and the crab roe soup dumplings were made by Jia Made by the master.”
Liang Qu had an impression, but he was still puzzled: "We have been going to Huangzhou for two months. How did you think of hiring a pastry chef?"
Hu Qi explained: "Master's father likes to eat snacks and noodles. Our Jianghuai Bai'an, especially Xiao Bai'an, is famous for its pastries. I thought I would just buy some finished products and take them there. Master doesn't know why, but insists on it." Pay a big price and ask the master chef from Langyun Tower to come with us and make it fresh."
You ask me, is there something wrong with Master? "
Xiang Changsong's tone was incomprehensible, and Liang Qu and Hu Qi looked at Hu Qi and said, "Wealth and honor will not return to your hometown."
Liang Channel: "Walking at night like embroidered clothes!"
Xiang Changsong said: "Who knows!"
"Hahaha!"
The three of them laughed.
"Why are you laughing if you don't get on the boat?" Mrs. Xu leaned out of the railing and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
Nothing, just joking. "
"Come up and help if you have nothing to do! There are a lot of things that haven't been moved!"
"Come, come! Master, please rest!"
"Master!"
At the end of Qingshi Street, Guan Congjian waved.
Liang Qu raised his head: "Master, Master Helian is here!"
Yang Dongxiong heard the sound and came out.
"Brother Yang!"
"Brother Helian!"
"Aren't you late?"
"It's not too late, let's move forward."
Liang Qu counted the heads carefully.
Helian Nianci, Guan Congjian, Guan Congjian's "girlfriend" Zong Lichan, plus two servants, a man and a woman.
No more, no less, exactly five.
"There are many men and they live in the big boat at the front. There are few women and they live in the small boat at the back. If you need anything, go to Otter!"
Guan Congjian held Zong Lichan's waist: "Can't we live in the same house?"
"Get out!"
"Master!"
There were shouts again on Qingshi Street.
Narrowing his eyes at Changsong.
"Fourth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother is here!"
"Everyone is here, everyone is here!"
"Let's go!"
"Brother Yang!"
"Brother Helian!"
"Aren't you late?"
"It's not too late, let's move forward."
Liang Qu counted the heads carefully.
