Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 66 The first day of fishing boat repair

Zhao Dahai got up early the next morning, took hammers, axes and other tools, went out of the yard and walked directly to the pier, just in time to meet the fishing boats in the village returning from fishing, and every fishing boat had a good harvest. It was more than a few dozen catties, and more than 100 catties and two hundred catties. I wanted to repair the fishing boat immediately. After watching for a while, I turned around and walked quickly to the woods behind the beach.

Standing in front of the fishing boat, Zhao Dahai had mixed feelings. This is the fishing boat left by his parents, but it was this fishing boat that killed his parents. Now he is ready to repair the fishing boat and continue fishing.

Zhao Dahai tidied up his mood and checked the wooden frame on which the fishing boat was mounted. After two years of exposure to wind and sun, one-third of the thick wood was rotten, but there was no major problem. Then he took the hammer and the ax and started to work, knocking and planing off the rotten planks. During dinner last night, Zhao Shi said that he would do this first today.

Hearing the muffled voice, Zhao Shi quickened his pace and walked through the woods. He saw Zhao Dahai and shouted.

Zhao Dahai raised his head to say hello, and when he saw Zhao Shi coming to pick up the hammer to do some work, he immediately stopped him. Zhao Shi is not young, so he can do the physical work by himself, it just takes more time.

"Second grandpa."

"It's just a little work, I can finish it in a day, and I don't need your help."

"When you really start to practice, you can give me some pointers, and I will do the rest."

Zhao Dahai wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and drank a couple of sips of water. The fishing boat left by his father and mother is not big. Repairing requires skills and experience but is not too complicated. When the second grandfather Zhao Shi was young, he was in He has worked in the shipyard for ten years and is an old hand. He can do it well by himself if he gives some pointers. When two people need to work together, they can help each other. Zhao Shi is not needed for other things.

Zhao Shi nodded, he was really old, he couldn't do much work, couldn't help much, and made more trouble, Zhao Dahai was faster and more convenient by himself.

Zhao Dahai took a sledgehammer and knocked off all the large pieces of rotten ship planks, and carefully cleaned up the smaller ones or those that could not be knocked off with an axe.

Zhao Shi stood watching from the side, smoking a hookah, glanced at Zhao Dahai from time to time, and glanced at the ax or hammer in Zhao Dahai's hand from time to time, nodded in his heart, did not smash randomly, knocked randomly, and checked it out. When you start, you don't rush when you knock, and the work is really good.

The sun was rising higher and higher, and the fishing boat was in an open space with no shelter, and it was very hot.

Zhao Dahai sweated like raindrops, looked at the fishing boat under his feet, two-thirds of the boards were knocked off.

"Second grandpa."

"It's all knocked off."

"Look at how many ship boards we have to buy?!"

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Shi who had been watching from the side. Several times he persuaded Zhao Shi to sit in the forest and come over after he finished his work, but he didn't listen at all.

Zhao Shi ignored it, took a smaller hammer, and started beating on the remaining planks, centimeter by centimeter, for three times before stopping.

"Come!"

"Knock it!"

Zhao Shi pointed to several places where he had carved marks with a knife.

Zhao Dahai took the hammer and started to knock, but he couldn't hear anything after knocking for a long time.

"Second grandpa!"

"It's all right?"

Zhao Dahai knew that Zhao Shi felt that there was something wrong with the ship planks in these places, and the sound was different, but he knocked and listened carefully, and felt that there was no problem.

Zhao Shi didn't say a word, just kept smoking the hookah.

Zhao Dahai picked up the hammer and knocked again, and kept knocking on the place where Zhao Shi had marked over and over again. At the beginning, he couldn't hear anything, but the more he knocked and the more he heard, he gradually distinguished it. Not the same.

Zhao Shi told Zhao Dahai that he would beat it several times from the beginning to the end to see if there was any other place, then turned and left by himself.

Zhao Dahai imitated what Zhao Shi had just done. He tapped the small hammer over and over again, centimeter by centimeter. He listened carefully to the sound with his ears sideways, and sweat dripped drop by drop. , It fell on the sand and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and new beads of sweat emerged.Don't be careless about this matter.The place where the sound is wrong is rotten, especially the worms that have been eaten inside. You must find it out and deal with it properly. Otherwise, the fishing boat will rot in less than a year or two when it is launched into the water. If you drink water, you are not kidding, you may lose your life.

sunset.

In the open space in the middle of the forest, the light gradually dimmed, and it was almost invisible.

Zhao Dahai put down the hammer in his hand, straightened his waist, and pressed his ear. He kept knocking on the ship's plank all afternoon. Slowly back to normal.

Zhao Dahai packed up tools such as hammers and axes, and carried them home through the woods in a big bag. When he walked to the village pier, he saw Zhao Shi holding a waterpipe in his hand, smoking while talking with Zhong Shizhu Lei. There is talk.

Zhao Shiwen found several places.

Zhao Dahai honestly said that he found six places.

Zhao Shi didn't say anything, took a few mouthfuls of hookah and nodded.

Zhao Dahai took the tools and walked home. It took no effort to knock off the rotten planks of the fishing boat. He knocked on the planks to see if there was any problem.

"I found a few places, what do you mean by that?"

Zhong Shizhu is a bit strange, Zhao Shi just said that Zhao Dahai was repairing fishing boats in the forest.find a place?Where do I need to find a place to repair a fishing boat?
"Hehehe!"

"Look for the moth-eaten places on the fishing boat. This kid has a bit of talent in this area, and he really found them all."

Zhao Shi smiled.

"Yo!"

"This is incredible!"

Zhong Shizhu didn't expect this to happen.No one who goes fishing can leave the fishing boat.Fishing boats made of wood are most afraid of insects or small rot. These places are very small, many of which are inside the wood and cannot be seen on the surface. Regardless of whether they are ignored, they will become bigger and bigger under the immersion of sea water. , If not found in time, there may be big problems.It's easy?Can anyone do it?Just take a hammer and tap it to hear the sound, isn't it all right?It makes sense, but not everyone can do it.In a place like a fishing village, it is not easy to make money, and people are never hired for things they can do by themselves.It costs 300 yuan to beat a boat several times, but no one who owns a boat saves this money.Zhao Shi had worked with Chuanshi in the early years, and he was a master in this field. Every year, many people came to him and made a lot of money.Zhao Dahai had no experience, no reputation, and no one invited him, but after following Zhao Shiqian for two years, he found his way out immediately.

"Ha ha!"

"Ten or 20 years ago, it was a craft, which could make money to support the family. It is no longer possible. Fishing boats are all made of steel or some alloy, and speedboats are made of some high-strength plastic. Why use wood? This craft has no way out."

Zhao Shi shook his head.

Zhong Shizhu thought about it, and it really happened.Now the wooden fishing boats are all left over from the past, and they are used as they are.Those who buy new fishing boats will not choose wood.There are many wooden boats in Langtou Village and the nearby villages, all of which are old boats from the previous generation, and the newly bought hulls are all made of high-strength plastics.

Zhao Shi saw that it was about the same time, stood up and walked home.
