Chapter 79 Gondola!Test the waters!
evening.

Zhao Dahai was sitting on the threshold of the yard, holding a hatchet, and was whittling a wooden stick about one meter long, about the size of a child's arm. There were already five cut sticks on the ground beside him, some longer and some shorter. I cut it back to make the net handle, peeled off the skin and dried it, and it is almost dry. Today, I am going to install it on the net ring. Before installing it, I have to cut the knots on the stick and sand them down. This is something that is used every day on fishing boats. , It's hard to feel bad.

Zhao Dahai has been very busy these past few days. The fishing boat has been painted, the anchors and cables have been installed, and he will be able to go into the water soon and go fishing by himself.

Zhao Dahai buried his head in his work, time passed quickly, the sky was getting dark, he couldn't see clearly, he stood up and turned on the light in the yard, when he was about to continue working, he saw Zhao Shi walking over.

Zhao Shi looked at the polished wooden handle of the scooping net, picked it up and rolled it a few times, the size fit his hand, no matter what Zhao Dahai did, he did it carefully.

When Zhong Cuihua saw Zhao Shi coming, she put down the whole fishing net and walked out of the main room.

"The sea."

"The boat is ready to launch. What are you going to do?"

"Are you looking for someone in the village or a crane?"

Zhao Shi lit the hookah.

"Look for someone in the village? Save some money."

Zhong Cuihua looked at Zhao Shi and then at Zhao Dahai.

"Second grandpa."

"I've thought about it."

"Find a crane."

Zhao Dahai has been thinking about this matter for the past two days.The fishing boat was repaired after it was laid in the woods. Now it has to be taken to the sea. The distance is about 300 to [-] meters. At the beginning, the idea was the same as that of grandma Zhong Cuihua. machine.

"Second grandpa."

"It takes a lot to find someone. Moving such a long distance, it's always a problem to accidentally bump into something. It's true that you don't need to pay money but you have to owe favors. Plus, you can eat and drink. The difference is not much. It’s better to spend money to find a crane.”

Zhao Dahai shook his head. The traditional method is simply to put rolling logs on the ground and pull them out into the water by manpower. However, although his boat is not big, it is a little more than ten meters long and less than three meters wide, but it is all wood. It's not light, and it takes a lot of people.Looking for someone to work, you have to entertain or something, come and go, I can't really say how much money I will save, but it will add a lot of things.A few decades ago, there was no way to do it without cranes, only manpower.Now there is a crane, which saves labor, trouble and safety.

"Row!"

"This matter is settled like this!"

"Tomorrow you go to the town to find Zhou Fucheng. He has cranes and skilled manpower. This matter can be done in half a day."

Zhao Shi took a few sips of hookah, what Zhao Dahai said made sense.Looking for help in the village is to prepare food, drink and greet, and it may not be short of money.Zhou Fucheng found a crane, and it was neat and steady.

Zhao Shi sat for a while and left.

eight pm.

Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua ate in the hall.

"The sea."

"The crane is convenient. But it costs a lot of money, right?"

Zhong Cuihua took a bite of the meal. The crane must be convenient, but it costs money, and it costs more than finding someone.

Zhao Dahai put a piece of soft and rotten pork belly in Zhong Cuihua's bowl. He prepared 2 yuan to repair the ship. He bought materials for ship breaking, and there was a lot left. Luo has earned more than 2000, which is enough money to have leftovers, so there is no need to worry.

Zhong Cuihua thought that this was really the case, An Xin went out with a flashlight and walked to the back of the house after dinner.

Zhao Dahai smiled and continued to eat. Zhong Cuihua went to water the vegetable field, especially the few fruit trees planted a few days ago, thinking that it was planted for her great-great-grandson, which was very precious.

After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he packed up the bowls and chopsticks and continued to load the nets. The fishing boat was launched immediately, and there was not much time left. Hurry up and prepare the things that need to be used. When he thought about this, he became very excited, and his hands moved a little faster.

Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle out early the next morning and went to the Hongqi Shipbuilding Stone in the town to find Zhou Fucheng. He had ready-made cranes and manpower. He was idle and he was an acquaintance. The price was 1600 yuan, and the appointment was made at [-]:[-] p.m. Arrive at Langtou Village, talk about good things and rush back to the village immediately, without stopping, immediately move the tires, foam floats and tools bought in the morning to the fishing boat in the forest and continue to work.

Zhao Dahai climbed onto the fishing boat. Four tires were hung on the side of the boat, one on the left and one on the right. Another large tire was hung below, and the foam floats were threaded one by one with finger-thick nylon ropes to form a string, wrapping a circle from the bow to one-third of the sides of the ship.These are all for collision prevention. Fishing boats docked on reefs or in other situations will inevitably collide with other fishing boats, reefs, or concrete pillars of the pier. It is impossible without tires and foam floats.

After wrapping the bow of the boat, Zhao Dahai hung up the tires and floats, straightened his back, and before he had time to rest, he saw a truck driving to the pier, and a crane driving over after a while, with four people walking beside him, looking at the The two in the middle are Zhao Shi and Zhou Fucheng.

Zhao Dahai jumped off the boat, greeted him with big strides, said hello, and immediately started working. The fishing boat was just hoisted into the sea to test the water. It was not the first time to go to sea. There was no ceremony. , and the other two tied the bow and stern with thick hemp to control the direction. In less than an hour, the fishing boat was hoisted out of the forest and put into the sea.

"Yo!"

"The sea is testing the waters!"

……

"This speed is really fast!"

……

There was a lot of movement of the hanging fishing boat, and there were many people at the small pier, which immediately attracted attention.Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou, familiar people who were busy on the fishing boat preparing to go fishing in the early morning, came over.

Zhao Dahai waited for the crane to move aside, the anchor rope at the bow was pulled onto the beach, the iron anchor stepped into the sand hard, and pulled the fishing boat, and the fishing boat in the sea slowly floated out along with the wind, and pulled it back forcefully with both hands , Waiting for Zhao Shi, Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou to get on the boat before going up by themselves.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou walked around the fishing boat a few times, and they were very envious. Zhao Dahai’s boat is really good, the skill is too good, the boards are solid, the paint on the boards outside the boat can’t be seen, and every board inside the boat is beautiful. After being polished, tung oil has been applied several times. There are a few small waves on the sea, but the boat does not shake when walking around. This kind of boat is very stable when going out to sea, and it will be very comfortable when fishing.

Zhao Shi sat on the side of the boat, smoked a hookah for half an hour, and began to carefully inspect the fishing boat, especially the places where hemp was used. , no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

"The sea."

"The ship can't go to sea right away, let's wait a few days and see."

Zhao Shi checked it several times, and there was no problem.

Zhao Dahai nodded and agreed, this is to let the fishing boat soak in the water for a few more days to see if there is any problem.
