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

Chapter 77 Small parts for busy fishing and fishing boats

One p.m.

The sun was high.

There is no wind, and the forest is as hot as a steamer.

Zhao Dahai was shirtless and only wore a pair of shorts. He took a brush and brushed tung oil on the fishing boat. His head was covered with sweat, dripping down his neck and onto the ground.

"The sea!"

"How many times is this?"

"Is the boat about to launch?"

Zhong Shizhu yelled and walked to Zhao Dahai Sea, looking at the fishing boat, thinking that Zhao Dahai had repaired the fishing boat in such a short time by himself, it was really amazing.

After Zhao Dahai finished brushing a small spot on the bow, he took a cloth and vigorously wiped off the tung oil on his hands, took water, and gulped it down.

"Today is the fourth time."

"Tomorrow, I will paint it again, and then paint it. After it dries, I think it can be put into the water. However, I have to listen to my second grandfather on this matter."

Zhao Dahai wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and in the past two or three days, he only did one thing to load the fishing boat with tung oil.Tung oil is the oil from the seeds of the tung tree, which is used to clean the fishing boats for anticorrosion and waterproofing. In order to achieve the best effect, Zhao Shi said five times that it will be done tomorrow.

"Call me when the boat is about to launch."

"Come and help me."

……

"correct!"

"You have to find time to see the diesels?"

……

"Recently, the fish in the sea are better than some time ago. If the boat launches earlier, it may be able to catch up."

……

Zhao Dahai packed up his things, walked through the woods to the village while chatting with Zhong Shizhu, and when he got home, he opened the yard door and saw grandma Zhong Cuihua in the yard, shaking out a freshly woven fishing net.

"grandmother!"

"What are you doing? Can this net catch sharks?"

Zhao Dahai was a little strange.This is different from ordinary fishing nets. It is made of toothpick-sized nylon thread, which is very strong. Not to mention pulling it by hand, it can't be cut with a little effort with a knife. The trawl net on the trawler is only so thick. The wires and nets are not available at home.

Zhong Cuihua said with a smile that it was used to make net cages or something.

It was only then that Zhao Dahai remembered that it is not enough to have a fishing boat to go fishing. There are many things such as nets, cages, bamboo poles, and even stones or bricks. The fishing boat will be launched soon, and these things have to be prepared.

Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while, took a piece of paper and a pen, and made a list of things to prepare and buy. After eating, he rode a motorcycle to the town, found a blacksmith shop, and bent the diameter of a steel bar as thick as a pinky finger. Two [-] centimeters and three [-] centimeters for a total of five netting rings, and five cylindrical net cages with an upper diameter of [-] centimeters and a lower diameter of [-] centimeters were welded, and a few buckets were bought. The seat was full, and this was not the end, so I went to another shop to order anchors and cables, and bought a large refrigerator for the fishing boat, adding ice to keep the fish fresh.These things were too heavy and too big to be pulled by a motorcycle, so I had to find a tricycle.

Zhao Dahai took out the list he had made and checked it carefully, and found that nothing was missing, then he rode a motorcycle and took a tricycle back to the village.Back at the door of the house, a lot of people were attracted, and they saw that they were all used on fishing boats. They knew that they were ready for going out to sea for fishing. Several people helped, and all the things were unloaded after a while, and the small ones were moved to the yard. In the house, the large iron anchors and cables are placed in the open space at the door, and they are moved to the fishing boat when they are needed.

Zhao Dahai took cigarettes from his room, and sent out cigarettes to the people who came, and chatted about going fishing for a while, and waited for everyone to leave before going back to the yard to sort out the things they bought, and put them all neatly.

Night falls.

The night in the fishing village is very quiet, only a few dogs barking from time to time.

Zhao Dahai didn't go out, chatting with his grandmother Zhong Cuihua who weaves fishing nets, while busying himself with his own affairs. The netting rings and cage frames bought during the day had to be worn or covered with fishing nets.

"grandmother."

"How many times have I told you? There must be some work to do. Weaving a fishing net is no problem. But you have to pay attention to rest."

……

"Tomorrow I have to chop two bamboo poles back. They will be needed on the fishing boat."

"Cut down a few small trees or branches as thick as an arm, and use them as handles for dipping nets."

"It's definitely better if you have something to do. If you don't have it, you can just make do with it. Use it first, and talk about it later."

……

"Correct!"

"Wait for the sun to come out tomorrow, go brush the tung oil first, and then do other things after brushing the tung oil."

……

Zhao Dahai held a netting iron hoop in his hand, and pushed his feet outward on the inner hoop, picked up a piece of cut fishing net and slipped it through the mesh, let go of his feet after wearing it, and took a thicker nylon thread, Tie it tightly round after round, and a fish weighing [-] kg can be picked up without deformation. Such a net with a diameter of one meter does not take much time, and no one can guarantee that a big fish will be caught one day. Be prepared.

Zhao Dahai picked up the rest of the hoops for copying nets and continued to work. After all the nets were finished, he began to cover the iron frame of the cage with fishing nets. You can be sloppy, as long as you need it every time you go fishing, it will take more time to rot and rework after a few days.

Zhao Dahai got up early the next morning, went up the mountain with a machete, cut a few carnations, and then went to the woods on his own mountain, picked branches that could hold one meter and two meters long with one hand, and chopped seven or eight. root, tie the rope, carry two ten-meter-long carnations on the shoulders with one hand and the other hand, and go down the mountain. After returning home, the whole body is sweating. It is almost ten o'clock, the sun is rising, and the air is drying If it is dry, you can brush it with tung oil. Without taking a break, you immediately grab a bucket of oil and a brush, ride a motorcycle to the pier, and then walk quickly to the woods.

Zhao Dahai adjusted the tung oil and started brushing it for the fifth time. Just after finishing brushing, the second grandfather Zhao Shi came over with a hookah in his hand.

"Second grandpa!"

"This is the fifth time today, is there a need for a sixth time?"

Zhao Dahai put down the tung oil bucket and brush in his hand.

Zhao Shi walked around the fishing boat twice, nodding his head while watching. Zhao Dahai brushed the tung oil very carefully. Needless to say, the places that are easy to see, the corners and corners that are not easy to see are handled properly and very well. Evenly, this is really hard work.

"Did you buy the paint? The paint on the bottom of the ship is different from the paint on the bottom of the ship. Did you buy both?"

Zhao Shi turned his head and asked Zhao Dahai.Tung oil is anti-corrosion and waterproof, and it is safer to apply another layer of paint, especially the paint on the bottom of the boat must be painted, which is different from the paint in other places.

Zhao Dahai nodded. He bought all the paint and kept it at home, and he could just bring what he needed.

Zhao Shi thought about it, and told Zhao Dahai that it is enough to dry the tung oil one day today and another day tomorrow, and bring all the paint over the day after tomorrow, but he can only paint it when he comes over.

"Row!"

"How about ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow?"

"Second grandpa."

"Don't worry. I won't mess around. You can adjust the paint!"

Zhao Dahai smiled.Zhao Shi was worried that he would brush directly regardless of 21, not saying that it would not work, but the effect would not be good.

"The paint brushes are dry and ready to go in the water."

……

"However, there is no way to go directly to sea to fish."

"Let's wait for a while at the dock to see if there is any problem with the hemp place."

……

"The things to be used on the fishing boat can start to be prepared."

……

"I heard you bought the anchors?"

……

Zhao Shi ignored Zhao Dahai's words "I won't mess around", dared to do this, the boss slapped him, and said one by one what to prepare on the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai listened carefully and compared with the things he had prepared, and found that there were a lot of omissions. Going out to sea is really not just a matter of fishing nets for fishing boats, there are many small items, some of which look inconspicuous and can’t be played if they are gone.
