Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

A hint of fish belly white just appeared on the horizon.

Zhao Dahai pushed his motorcycle out, tying tung oil, lime, jute thread and other things in the back seat, and drove directly to the village pier. At this time, people who went fishing had just returned. The air was filled with the fishy smell of fish, shrimps and crabs, and the loud shouting was very lively.

Zhao Dahai greeted the people in the village while unloading the things on the back seat of the motorcycle. Seeing the fish, shrimps and crabs in the basket, he couldn't wait to fix the fishing boat and go fishing earlier.

Zhao Dahai walked through the forest to the fishing boat. There was a thick layer of dew on the waterproof plastic sheet, but he did not pull it away in a hurry. The place where the boat was repaired was in the middle of the forest, and the water vapor was heavy, so he had to wait for the sun to come out.

Zhao Dahai sorted out the things he had brought. The tung oil was all neatly arranged, and immediately began to mix the putty lime. After rubbing it carefully for several minutes, I said I would get a whole bucket.

Zhao Dahai started immediately, and Zhao Shi was satisfied.

The sun rises and the temperature immediately soars. A gust of wind blew, and soon I felt hot and sweaty after being refreshed for a while.

Zhao Dahai carefully pulled open the waterproof plastic sheet. The fishing boat was dry and there was no water at all.

Zhao Shi stirred the putty lime in the bucket. It was very good. Zhao Dahai worked really well. He was serious and willing to work hard. This thing looked simple, but he didn't have the patience or energy to play it.

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Shi and opened a small leather bag. Inside was a hammer and a dozen chisels. In some places, cracking is also called twisting. These are twisting hammers and twisting chisels, tools specially used for cracking. The hammer is not much different from an ordinary hammer. A twist chisel is a chisel with a small and blunt head, which comes in different sizes, lengths and shapes.

Zhao Shi didn't say anything. He took the twisting hammer and the thickest and largest twisting chisel and started working directly.

"Apply a layer of putty."

…

"Jute must be sorted well. Use more to sew large pieces and less to sew small ones."

…

"A line of jute is driven into the seam of the boat. Apply a layer of putty. The jute that grows out on both sides is folded back and driven in."

…

"When twisting and chiseling, you have to hit in different directions. You have to hit hard in all directions so that it doesn't go in."

…

"Play one position three times. This is three in and three out. You have to hit it enough. This boat will not leak. If there is no impact, it will last for at least five years."

…

Zhao Dahai looked at the twisting hammer and chisel in Zhao Shi's hand. They were not fast, but they moved up and down, in and out, and the water flow was the same. This is the ability of people who have worked hard for a long time. They are very strict and solid, and they have been numbed. The place is smooth and smooth, as if it had been plastered with a plaster knife. You can see with the naked eye that the putty lime and jute are mixed very evenly.

After Zhao Shi finished drilling a half-meter-long seam, he handed the twisting hammer and chisel to Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai was not polite. He seemed to understand clearly whether he could do it, especially whether he could do it well. He had to get started. He picked up the twisting hammer and twisting chisel and started working directly.

Zhao Dahai's eyes widened. Zhao Shi was so simple when he was doing it. He just put putty and lime on it casually and punched the jute in and out. When it was his turn, the twisting hammer and chisel weighed thousands of kilograms, and the putty and lime didn't. If there was too much, then there was too little. After beating for a long time, the jute was scattered everywhere. What was even more frightening was that the jute that was finally driven in fell out with a little force of the chisel.

Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked out the jute in the slit, took a few breaths and started tying again.

Zhao Shi smoked the hookah and said nothing. He just watched Zhao Dahai work. There was no trick in doing this, so he had to practice it by himself. He didn't do it once, twice, twice, or three times, until he stopped doing it.

Zhao Dahai worked for nearly two hours. He put down the twisting hammer and chisel, shook his numb hand a few times, looked at the ten centimeter-long seam that had just been made, and looked at Zhao Shi next to him. proud of.

Zhao Shi put down the hookah, took a twisting hammer and a twisting chisel, found a place, hit it, and dug in half a centimeter deep.

Zhao Dahai's face suddenly turned red. why is it like this? This is because you are not strong enough! Once a fishing boat is launched into the water, such a place must be rotten first. Although it is only a little rotten, once it is a little rotten, it will rot quickly. It is impossible to inspect the bottom of the boat every day. It usually takes one, two or even three to five years. , it may be leaking before you have time to detect it.

"This can't be fast!"

"Slow down, go in little by little, don't rush to become a fat man in one bite."

Zhao Shi nodded at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai thought for a while and understood what was going on. To do this work, you don't have to have the strength. Just now, he beat him desperately, using all his strength with every blow, but it was useless. Zhao Shi was much weaker than himself, but Just casually, the beaten jute is dented, too much jute is beaten in at one time, and the beat is too fast and the beat is not strong. Don't beat too much jute each time, and beat it slower and more times.

Zhao Dahai picked up the twisting hammer and twisting chisel and continued to hit. This time he was not in a hurry at all. He mixed the putty, lime and jute and punched in bit by bit. He hit the same place a few more times, adjusting the direction and angle of the twisting chisel slightly every time.

Zhao Shi was smoking a hookah. He didn't need to look closely at the hemp seams. He only needed to look at the twisting hammer and chisel used by Zhao Dahai to make the hemp and listen to the sound. The result this time was not bad and there was nothing wrong with it.

After Zhao Dahai was about ten centimeters long, he looked up at Zhao Shi. His wrinkled face showed no expression at all, and his heart skipped a beat.

"remember."

"This boat is meant to go out to sea and float on the water, and you fish on it."

"My money depends on it. My life depends on it."

Zhao Shi turned around and walked away slowly while holding the hookah butt and smoking.

Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, he had finished his job, took a few sips of water to rest for a while, picked up the twist hammer and chisel, and continued to hemp, and there was rhythmic hammering sound in the forest.

The sun set in the west, and within a short time, darkness descended on the entire earth. There was no moon or stars in the sky, it was very dark.

After dinner, Zhao Dahai didn't care about rest, took a flashlight and a gas lamp, and went back to the woods. If he wanted to repair the fishing boat earlier and go fishing earlier, he had to hurry up and work more.

The forest at night by the sea is dewy, and the waterproof plastic sheet is hung by several ropes to cover the entire fishing boat. As long as there is no strong wind or heavy rain, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhao Dahai lit the gas lamp, but the light was relatively weak. He pumped the gas a few times, and after a while it burned very brightly, like a little sun. Play hemp.

Very quiet at night.

Sound travels farther.

Zhao Dahai concentrated his energy, one after another, the jute mixed with putty and lime was constantly driven into the seams of the boat, all of which entered three times and exited three times. The boat was meant to go out to sea and float on the water. Money depends on it. Your life depends on it, and you really can't be careless in doing this job.

I am really sleepy! I can't even open my eyes.
