Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 50—Eriksson’s Small Fishing Dream

"No, you wait," Bokal stopped Eriksson: "What do you want, Ike? What do you buy for this broken sea? What broke the hole? The bottom is cracked, you I just want to buy it back and repair it and I have to replace the entire ship plate. This broken ship can also be used under this beam."

Eriksson nodded: "I just looked at this girders."

After saying that I shook up **** at Wakuri: "I have two silver taels. If you don't think it's appropriate, then I didn't say it, Uncle Wakuri."

Wakuri smiled bitterly: "Add some more, I can't make me lose too much..."

"I don't have any money either." Eriksson shook his head: "Uncle Wakuri, the two silver taels are my greatest sincerity. If you don't want to sell, you can only tell the truth. I only need this bottom beam. The value of this sea **** has not been repaired. If you dismantle the wood, you will sell two or three silver taels. If you subtract the labor fee, you may not have sold it to me..."

In Bailu Town, shipbreaking is indeed a technical activity. Generally, a master brings three or two apprentices. Their job is shipbuilding and ship repairing. The ship is a part-time job. But only they can remove the ship boards and wooden beams that can be used continuously from those broken ships. If a person who only knows how to work is going to dismantle the ship, maybe the ship board that was removed will not be useful, and at most it can only be broken up as firewood.

Of course, the bigger the ship is, the more cost-effective the ship is. Like this broken sea, it is a boat, and it is useful for the bottom of this beam. If you don't ask the shipbreaker, Wakuri is worried that he will break the bottom beam into scrap. I can ask the ship-breaking master, the price is too expensive and uneconomical, as Eriksson said, the things that were removed are not as good as the cost of the ship-breaking master...

"Uncle Vakuri, I think you are still selling it. Otherwise, this broken sea is placed in front of your store. Everyone will know that you have bought a loss when you look at it. Your reputation has a great influence. You can collect it in such a broken sea shovel, then it is worth considering whether the quality of the goods in your store will be problematic..." Claude is assisting by God.

Perhaps this is what Wakuri is worried about. His face changed for a while, and finally waved his hand in frustration: "Forget it, just two silver tale, but you have to take this broken sea and pull it away." ”

"Well, I will ask people to come and pull in the afternoon." Eriksson happily touched two silver towers and handed them to Vakuri: "I have to go back to school now, so I will come over and pull this sea." It’s a little late. If someone asks, it’s what I bought, and I’ll put it in front of you for the time being.”

It seems that Wakuri thinks the same way. He nodded at Eriksson and took two Silver Tale and turned back to the store.

Four people went to school.

"Ike, now you can say, why do you want to buy this sea quilt?" Bocker is the most amazing one.

"You think about the wave that my dock is resting on." Eriksson is still making a fool of himself.

The wave is also a small fishing boat commonly found in the Faurea continent, but this small fishing boat is basically used for fishing in the sea with ocean fishing boats. The hull is nearly seven meters long and no more than two meters wide. There are movable masts and small sails on the ship, equipped with a 10-person working group. Most of the six paddlers are a helmsman, a sailor and a puller, and the commander has a sailor who is responsible.

When the ocean fishing boat found the fish in the sea, it was put down in the waves, and the fishnets on the big ship were used to carry out the squad and rounding of the fish. Generally speaking, an ocean-going fishing vessel will be equipped with two waves, and sometimes two waves will be used to carry out round-up operations on the surface of the sea, and then the ship will be netted. Of course, for ocean-going fishing boats, the wave wear also takes into account the role of lifeboats and landing ships.

On the private dock of Eriksson’s house, there was a wave of wearing it, but it was bad in this wave. It is said that once in the sea, this wave was worn on an island to find water. Because the wind and waves were too big and accidentally hit the rock wall on the shore, although the people were fine, the girders at the bottom of the ship were cracked and cracked, so this When the waves are worn, they are scrapped. The cracking of the sill is a fatal injury to any seagoing vessel. No one knows when the ship will continue to break into two at sea.

Therefore, it is good to look at this wave from the outside. If you turn it over, you will understand that the bottom beam is already pregnant. Just like the broken sea shovel that Eriksson just bought, it is better to change the repair of the root beam than to build a new ship.

"Do you want to change the bottom beam of this sea raft to the wave?" Bocker understood, but he immediately frowned. "No, the bottom beam of this sea raft is only five meters." Long, the bottom beam worn in the waves is too short..."

Eriksson shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I don't want to repair the sea or wear it. I want to use the two to merge and rebuild a small fishing boat like the old Sonny."

The small fishing boat like Old Sonny last time was the fishing boat that four people rented to go to Egret Island. For two and a half days, they had to rent Sanriasuo.

"In fact, you have not noticed that this sea raft is good except for the bottom beam. This ship's side frame is also good. I just need to remove all the ship plates, use the bottom beam and the ship's rail frame, and then use my dock to rest. The good ship board worn in that wave can completely be converted into a small fishing boat." Eriksson seems to have a well-thought-out at this moment.

"Of course, there will be a steering wheel, a movable mast, and the hull will be separated from three cabins, and the decks will be decked, etc., but these materials and utensils have spare parts in the dock warehouse and are replaced from the ship. The old goods, a little modified size, you do not need to spend money to buy. The only thing to consider is labor, which costs a little.

You certainly don't know that Uncle Peg, who is guarding the dock, was a repairing shipman on the ship when he was young. Later, he injured his leg when the ship encountered a storm and repaired it. It then retreated from the ship. I believe that his craft is still there, because he once told my father that it is necessary to get a new bottom beam to repair the wave, even if it is free to repair, mainly to see such a ship resting on the dock. He is not feeling well.

It was only then that my father had bought a new wave, and the repair was also placed on the dock, so he did not agree to his request. I will take this school out of the afternoon and drag it back to ensure that Uncle Peg will be very happy. Then I will talk to him about my request, usually give him a shot, so long after, I can have my own small fishing boat. ”

"Does your father know that you will blame you?" asked Bok Al.

Eriksson thought about it and said, "It shouldn't. If I go back to him at night and ask him to buy me a arquebus gun like you, my father will probably not pay attention to my request. But I said I am going to rebuild a small fishing boat, then my father will definitely agree. Just, I can ask him to give me a manual repair fee."

Claude thought about it and laughed. With the love of Captain Etrusson, the captain of Erikson, Eriksson said that he would definitely support a small fishing boat, because after this success He can show his son's ability in the town. Imagine that the captains in the town could have their own small fishing boat at the age of sixteen, but his son did it, which was enough for him to boast for a while.

Going back to the school, the bag in the hand is placed in the drawer of the desk, and then ready to go to the first class of the afternoon physical education, sword training.

The swordsmanship class teaches students the basic skills of mastering three kinds of swordsmanship, stabbing swords, two-handed swords and short swords. From the classification of the sword, the stabbing sword is the most common carry-on sword. It is similar to the Western thorn sword of the past, and it is light and stab as the main killing method. The two-handed sword is very similar to the Chinese Longquan sword. The length and width of the blade are similar, but the handle is not the same. It is more than one foot long and can be grasped by both hands. It is the most powerful. The short sword is a weapon of hand-to-hand combat and a self-defense weapon that every soldier of the kingdom army must equip.

Generally speaking, the liberal arts students in the school and the girls who enrolled in the sword training class basically learn the swordsmanship. This is mainly because they are not as strong as the physical students in their physical fitness. The light and sharp swords become their favorite. .

Physical education students should look at hobbies, and those who are interested in having time can learn three kinds of swords. However, after the school's sword training class has mastered the basic skills of the three kinds of swordsmanship, the later sword training class is to let the students train the basic movements familiar with the swordsmanship. The sword training is only occasionally directed at the side, or the competition between the students. And game supervision.

Claude prefers the two-handed sword. He is also the first in the two-year two-handed sword competition in the country. The most powerful of the four partners was Verizro, but he did not choose a two-handed sword, but chose the short sword like Eriksson. The reason is very simple. Eriksson is taught by his father. It is the most dexterous and appropriate to use the dagger on the boat. The two-handed sword is not easy to play in the narrow cabin and the aisle, but it will be easily wrapped by the rope fishing net. live……

Verricko is out of habit. His father has been a guard for fifteen years, and he is familiar with the short-swords trained by soldiers. After having a son, there is only short-swording in the early childhood. In addition, as a hunter, short swords and short knives, or axe these short weapons are more practical in the mountains. Therefore, Verricko is not interested in the sword and the two-handed sword. He is a short-sword in school.

Only Bokal has no special skills, he will be the three kinds of swordsmanship, but he is not good for the three kinds of swordsmanship. Claude's two-handed sword, the first of the Verizro shorts, Eriksson is not the first, but also the top three in the short-sword competition. But Bok Al-Ah is a candidate who is dragged behind in the three swordsmanship competitions. Three or four liberal arts students are worse than him.

After the sword training class, there are two more equestrian training classes in the afternoon. But Claude is not ready to go. Eriksson is going back to find a few sailors to drag the broken sea raft from the front of the shop in Wakuri to their own private dock. The two are not too far apart, and the hole under the sea shovel is loosely nailed, and then it is not too much to pull the cable along the shore. So Eriksson is not prepared. Look for Claude three to help.

Verricko wants to go home with Bok Al and take the arquebus. By the way, he moves two targets from the warehouse of their house, and then drives the carriage to pick up Claude. Then the three go to the woods outside the town to practice the arquebus. Shooting.

Claude returned home, dragged the wooden box with the arquebus out of the bed, opened it, took out the arquebus, and took out the matching fire rope. This stuff was used up and bought, and then took out three similar sizes. Pan horns.

This horn is also an accessory for arquebus, used to hold gunpowder. The horns are pointed at the top and wide, and both ends are covered with a copper cover. The big head is used to pour the gunpowder into the horn. The pointed small head is medicinal in the barrel. The inside of the horn is polished. The inner wall is also drawn with ten scales. Each scale indicates the gunpowder that is fired once. Component. A disc horn is just a unit of gunpowder.

The three horns of the horns are just three units of gunpowder, and they can be fired for 30 times. There are two small copper rings on the horns that can be strapped to the body. Claude remembers going to Egret Island last time, and Vericro’s side seems to be two black horns, which are also medicinal.

There is also a big purse bag in the wooden case. The top of the bag is a slip knot. This is for the gun. It can be hung on the belt and it is easy to reach into the bag and take the gun.

Claude also put 30 guns in his leather bag. I thought, I will do 30 shooting exercises in the afternoon. Verricko said that after the firearms are fired, the sitting force is a bit big. It is best not to hit the first time. More, otherwise the shoulders will be very painful at night...
