Chapter 361 Goodbye Toad

The courtyard is wide, with huge trees criss-crossing each other to form a platform for supporting towering boats.

There are many masts, and passers-by all separate themselves from the fence and look up at the majestic six-foot-long fortune ship.

Stand under the bow of the ship.

The wood is quiet, the tung oil is burnt and bitter, and the autumn cinnamon is fragrant.

The three are mixed and intertwined to form a unique new breath.

Without exception, the craftsmen stopped their work and watched Liangqu go around the ship, stepping onto the unpainted deck and inspecting the structure of each cabin.

Liu Quanfu grabbed the rope and followed closely, taking the initiative to introduce the cabins inside the ship, while reporting on the progress and estimated construction period.

"After receiving the materials from your house in September, we built the lucky boat according to the drawings.

Needless to say, the materials sent by Mr. Liang were cut perfectly and fit perfectly. I have been working for decades, old man, and I have never seen such beautiful hand work!

This is actually the hardest part of carpentry work.

For the rest, just follow the drawings step by step. Even if you are not a carpenter, you can do it if you are careful and clever enough.

As you can see now, the main structure is basically built, only some parts need to be polished and the insert plates are finally painted with tung oil. In the past, the tung oil was applied and applied on the same day. Ten hours was enough for the tung oil to dry, but the boat would not be launched into the water.

It cannot be done now. It will take at least one day for the tung oil to completely dry and solidify. Most of the next time will be spent waiting for the material to dry. The progress is basically certain, so Mr. Liang, please rest assured that it will be completed before early November!

"

Liang Qu was very satisfied.

As a river station official, you need to know some about water conservancy, and you also need to know some about ship construction.

Not to mention being familiar with the structures of various types of ships, at least you need to know how much manpower, how much wood, and how long it takes to complete a big ship, so as to avoid being assigned ridiculous tasks in the future.

Except for the differences in some ships built with treasure materials, normally building a large ship, with sufficient materials and manpower, can be guaranteed for three months.

The large boat recorded in "Shi Liu Dao Ji" took exactly three months from the time the court ordered it to the completion of its construction.

But it was an eight-foot-long ship, which was larger than Liang Qu's lucky ship.

Considering that Liu Quanfu is not an expert, even with Heli's help, he could complete it in more than two months, which is already quite good.

"Uncle Fu can deliver the ship in November, which is much faster than I thought."

Liu Quanfu said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of the masters at the Hebo Institute, a lot of manpower will be provided in September to provide personal guidance and experience, otherwise we would be in a hurry."

Liang Qu turned around: "Master? What master?"

Liu Quanfu was stunned: "Sir, you don't know?"

Liang Qu shook his head.

"Lou Yingji, Master Lou! Didn't it say that every seventh-grade official and above in the river park will be sent by the imperial court to send a shipbuilder to help build his own exclusive boat seat? Don't you know?"

Is there such a thing?

Liang Qu himself is a Du Shui Lang, but he doesn't know about Du Shui Lang's salary and benefits?

"Master Lou brought more than a dozen helpers that day, and we were also puzzled, but Master Lou was indeed the shipbuilder of Hebo Institute. He understood all the unclear things written on the drawings.

Master Lou also told us that his son is now the river chief in Pingyang County, do you have any impression of that?"

"He Chief..."

Liang Qu chewed vocabulary.

There are nine river chiefs under him. I remember correctly, and among them there happens to be a young man named Lou, who is twenty-one years old.

"Uncle Fu, how old is the Master Lou you are talking about?"

"He said that he was born in the year of the Ox and was born to be a hard worker. He was worried about the boys in his family. I looked at his face and it should be forty-five."

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows: "Then I have an impression."

"That's right!" Liu Quanfu breathed a sigh of relief, worried that he had really been deceived, "Master Lou taught me a lot. The masters in the imperial court are different from those in the countryside. I have never heard of many techniques.

, Weirdly powerful, even a little bit..."

Liu Quanfu and Xu Xu are nagging.

Liang Qu knew the cause and effect, and his heart was as bright as a mirror.

There was no mention of helping with the shipbuilding. It was obviously Master Lou who took the opportunity to express his kindness.

Forty-five, twenty-one.

The relationship between the two is mostly that of father and son.

The Master Lou mentioned by Liu Quanfu probably had to spend a lot of money to send his son to Liang Qu.

The people above are paying attention to Liang Qu.

The people below are also paying attention.

Who you work for as an errand and the personality of your boss will all have a say in your future prospects.

Although the distribution of Hebo and Hechang took place before the flood, Liangqu, which jumped two levels in a row, had already made a name for itself when it came to clearing the Ghost Mother Cult.

It's really corrupt.

The bad atmosphere of society has been blown in unconsciously.

When Ran Zhongshi drew up the list, he probably received a lot of kickbacks quietly.

Liang Qu secretly remembered Lou's surname as River Chief. He got off the lucky boat that smelled of tung oil, looked back at the lucky boat, and felt very relieved.

Everything proceeds in an orderly manner.

A little calculation shows that early November is probably the time when all rewards are concentrated.

There is a high probability of obtaining heavenly materials and earthly treasures worth five great merits, half a volume of "Qinglong Killing Sutra", plus a lucky boat.

All major events are gathered together at one node, which is quite akin to waiting for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

Booming!

good!

Daze.

The water waves rolled up the long grass and floated into the distance, and the eels poked out of the mud holes and let out bubbles.

Behind the rocks, Long Ping Jiang and Long Ping He hid their figures, looking at the big fish that looked like they were fishing for crabs in the river, but in fact they kept looking left and right.

After grabbing the crabs that day, they had a delicious meal. Early the next morning, the two brothers discovered that the strange fish clinging to the fish basket and picking up big crabs had reappeared.

It’s just that the other party’s intention was too obvious. He didn’t say anything about returning to his old place, but he fished for crabs with squinting eyes and looked back from time to time...

This is not crab fishing, it is clearly a dragon fishing!

Long Pinghe was indignant: "Brother, that fish is really arrogant, let's snatch it again!"

For several days in a row, I could see the fish clearly trying to catch people, which was really outrageous.

Long Pingjiang looked hesitant.

"Isn't it good?"



The next morning.

The autumn water is rustling and the fish baskets are empty.

The fat catfish floats on the water surface helplessly, with yellowing fallen leaves clinging to its white belly.

Scored twice...

There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart.

Otter stood on the pond stone and let out a sharp laugh.

The fat catfish was so angry that he whipped his tail and pulled the otter into the water.

Paying 300 bricks a day is of no use at all!

"That's it."

Liang Qu sighed and took out the iron pot to comfort the fat catfish, "We have a crab feast today! If you can't catch it, you won't catch it. Just let it go and try the crab roe noodles that are just out of the pot!"

On the eighth day of catching crabs, the entire pond was filled with fish baskets, which were more than enough to entertain guests.

The masters from Langyun Tower also arrived before dawn. There were three master masters and twenty apprentices working together, dismantling the crabs and making preparations, and the money went out like water.

The big pot of crab roe noodles has just been brought out from the kitchen, let the host have a taste first.

What happened to the dragon people is no wonder Ah Fei.

The fat catfish perked up and shook its two long beards. Regardless of the pain in the back of its head, it came to the edge of the pond and opened its mouth wide.

Liang Qu shoveled out a bowl and poured it into his mouth. The steaming salty aroma exploded.

The fat catfish uses its whiskers to scrape off the grease at the bottom of the bowl, then closes its mouth and chews it.

All worries are gone!

Can't move, fist, everything.

"Mr. Li, let's eat!"

The big beaver, who had already noticed the food sharing and was embarrassed to come forward, patted the ground with his flat tail. He immediately put down the half-eaten wooden stake in his hand, took his own wooden bowl and ran over.

Beaver, river otter, each animal receives its own share.

When all the beasts are feasting.

A frog opened a lotus leaf on its head and leaned out of the pond.

"What good food did you eat?"
