611. Youyou row barrel boat (5)

Ao Muyang claimed that there were other things and left the office. Director Gao hurried in and asked, "Leader, how about it?"

Dean Tie looked helpless and shook his head, "I still need communication with the young man."

Director Gao understood what this said, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "It's just a village chief, otherwise do you have some other means?"

President Tie immediately glared at him: "Other means? What other means? Are you a doctor or a gangster brother?"

Seeing the leader getting angry, Director Gao was a little cowardly. He smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood me. I mean to find a superior leader to use his future to suppress him..."

"Don't do these things that are not there." Dean Tie said angrily, "I have a clear idea in my heart. If I take charge of this matter, you just pretend that you don't know and don't say anything."

Director Gao continued to laugh: "Okay leader, I understand."

Ao Muyang did not give these people the chance to pester him, but he did not go out to sea either, because this would make the other party feel guilty and deliberately try to avoid them.

He returned home, continued his daily operations, packed his things and went to Ambergris to dig water chestnuts.

The location of the water chestnuts is deep and shallow. Their vines can expand very well and often form a continuous piece, especially in deep water areas. In this case, it is not easy to obtain the water chestnuts.

Because you have to row a boat to enter the deep water area, the continuous patches of water-horned vines are like endless spider webs, and the small raft is hard to move in. Once you are entangled, it is difficult to leave.

However, the wisdom of the working people is infinite. In this case, a small boat specializing in harvesting water chestnuts was born, and the name is the barrel boat.

The boat is made in real time and is very simple to make. It is to tie two wide wooden boards into a cross, and then tie a wooden barrel to each of the two short handles of the cross. The bottom of the barrel is facing downward, and it is used to provide buoyancy.

Such a small boat also has an intimate name. Because of its shape, it is also called Jiji Ship.

Ao Muyang made a barrel boat in every way, which is a must-have skill for the fishermen. He learned to make this kind of boat with his father when he was very young.

He carried the wooden rack and bucket like a shoulder pole, and he slowly went to the lakeside.

When the villagers saw his equipment, they knew his purpose. Someone smiled and said, "Missar, what is delicious in the water chestnuts? I have some at home. I went to fish them a few days ago. I will give you a basin if you eat them?"

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing, and the harvest you get through your own labor is delicious."

On the way, Ao Xiaoniu and his teenagers met him and volunteered: "Uncle Xiaoyang I'll take a boat for you later. I'm small in weight and steady."

Ao Muyang waved his hand, "No need, no need."

Zhu Zhu was very curious: "Uncle Xiaoyang, are you going to pick up manure? I have seen it on the computer. This is how people who pick up manure in cities used to be."

Liu Mei helped explain: "This is a bucket boat, specially used to dig water chestnuts. Uncle Xiaoyang is going to dig water chestnuts."

Speaking of this, she gave Ao Muyang a disdainful look: "If you dig a water chestnut, you should use it as a bucket boat? Just take a wooden basin and swim to fish."

Ao Muyang gave a thumbs up and said, "You are so fierce!"

It was already very cold and the water temperature was low. At this time, swimming in the lake was just torture.

But Liu Mei did this, or she used to rely on swimming to catch water chestnuts. In the past few years, she would go to the lake to catch water chestnuts every autumn, which was her food for winter.

Even using a bucket boat to catch water chestnuts is not comfortable. In order to maintain the stability of the boat, Ao Muyang had to pour lake water into the bucket so that it would be stable when it was standing in the water.

It is a technical job to control the barrel boat. Ao Muyang put the boat by the lake, stood barefoot slowly on the cross-wide wooden board, and then, like a boat, inserted the bamboo pole into the bottom of the lake to provide power, and slowly sailed into the water chestnut bushes.

The two wooden barrels were arranged on both sides to maintain balance. A wide wooden board pointed forward like a sword. After entering the water chestnut, it truly transformed into a sword, stabbing the entangled vines and sailing in.

At this time, Ao Muyang squatted down, grabbed the vines of the water chestnut with his hands and pulled them up. When he found the water chestnut, he picked it down and threw it into the bucket.

There were fish and shrimps hiding under the vines. When he pulled the vines, the hiding swimming fish fled and fled. From the clear lake, you could see the swimming small fish.

Ao Muyang picked up the bamboo pole and saw a fat crucian carp appearing. He quickly smashed the bamboo pole with his eyes and hands.

The bamboo pole hit the crucian carp's head, directly causing it to be a concussion, and its belly flipped over and surfaced.

In this way, Ao Muyang picked it up leisurely and threw it into the bucket, so he could add a dish of fish soup tonight.

The more you go, the more obvious the advantages of the barrel boat.

There are not only water chestnut vines in the lake, but also reeds. It is difficult to walk after rowing, so there is no difficulty in using a bucket boat.

Moreover, there are wooden boards extending out in front and behind the barrel boat. If you want to retreat, then turn around carefully.

This is the difficulty, because there are only two wooden barrels to maintain balance, and once the force is uneven, it is easy to capsize. Especially when using bamboo poles to push the boat, the bamboo poles are inserted into the bottom of the lake from the side, and the thrust also comes from the side, which can easily overturn the boat.

Ao Muyang has not controlled this thing for some years, and after entering the reed marsh, he is about to capsize.

The situation was not good, and he turned around and saw the general who was behind him and waved to it quickly.

The general swam over quickly, and Ao Muyang grabbed its two front legs and asked it to put its forelimbs on the wooden board behind it, and pushed forward.

This is much better, and the power comes from the push of the general behind, and the boat immediately becomes balanced.

Ao Muyang walked around the reed marsh. When he came out, there were some water chestnuts and a few crucian carp in the wooden barrel.

Back at the shore, he washed the water chestnuts and skewed them together with straw ropes.

Several young men came up with a smile and asked, "Uncle Xiaoyang, don't you need to ship a bucket boat?"

Ao Muyang knew what they were going to do and specifically reminded him: "You can use it without any problem, but you must be careful. If you fall into the water this day, you may easily catch a cold."

Ao Xiaojun smiled sly: "It's just right if you have a cold, so you don't have to go to school in the town."

The other teenagers showed deep expressions of agreement and rushed to the bucket boat.

Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up when she heard Ao Xiaojun's words, and she also wanted to squeeze up: "Let me come, let me come, I don't want to go to school."

She doesn't hate studying, but she hates going to school to be under the jurisdiction of rules and regulations. After all, due to physical reasons, she has never been to school since she was a child.

Seeing that Zhu Zhu was interested in the bucket boat, Liu Mei went up and reached out to block the others: "Let the pig go first, you guys go!"

"Damn!" Ao Xiaojun was angry, "It's okay to let Xiaozhu go first, but what does this have to do with you? Why do you instruct us?"

Without saying a word, Liu Mei beat Ao Xiaojun to the ground with a whip leg and said proudly: "Just this!"
