Life in a quiet village in Xianshan
Chapter 171 New Ship
After staying at home for a few days, Gu Siwei's boat was built.
After receiving the news, Gu Siwei took Sicui, and an old guy named Tao Yisheng hanging from behind, to the two valleys to pick up Liu Fulin and go to the village together.
When I arrived at the village, I immediately noticed a new boat parked on the shore that had not yet been launched. It had a slight yellowish wood color. The new boat had new oars and a new anchor. It was a brand new boat in the water. No matter how you looked at it, you felt beautiful.
"Fourth dimension! How is it?"
Guo Xiangping was standing at the bow of the boat, waving to Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei gave him a thumbs up: "I couldn't praise you more!"
The new ship was delivered a few days later than expected. It was not that Guo Xiangping and others were lazy, but that something was added to the new ship, including two iron rings on the bow.
This thing was not installed by Gu Siwei, but by Sicui's suggestion. The little girl felt that it was a bit difficult for Grass Flower and Cube to push the boat, so she installed two iron rings on the bow of the boat. When the time came, they connected a rope and made a loop at the end of the rope. As long as it fit the heads of Grass Flower and Cube, then the two giant rings would The fish can pull the boat away.
Gu Siwei praised Sicui's idea, so Guo Xiangping and others installed two more iron rings on the boat as required. Just installing the iron rings was not enough. After the iron rings were installed, the structure would have to be changed. What if two giant fish lift the hatch cover with the iron ring?
So a group of old men began to strengthen the ship again, reinforcing the place where the iron rings were connected to the hull. In this case, it was equivalent to the iron rings passing through the ship's bones. Unless the ship fell apart, the iron rings would not loosen.
After reaching the shore, Gu Siwei jumped on his boat. Although he was on the shore, Gu Siwei couldn't help it anymore, and then started walking between the bow and stern of the boat.
The boat of Gu Siwei's family is wider and longer than the boat of Liu Fulin's family. It is about one meter longer and sixty centimeters wider. This makes the new boat look a bit fatter, so it is naturally more stable. As for driving, it is more stable. Gu Siwei didn't think much about the labor-intensive matter, because according to his assumption, the new ship would spend most of its time traveling from the village to Yinsong Cliff.
"The canopy will have to wait for a day or two. When it is made, we can just add it to the top," Guo Xiangping said cheerfully.
Gu Siwei hummed and replied: "No need to worry, the boat is ready and the canopy is ready, why are you anxious?"
"You have to be impatient, you'll know if it rains," Liu Fulin said with a smile.
"What kind of rain are you talking about at this time?" An old man reminded Liu Fulin.
Liu Fulin said quickly: "Yes, yes, how can it rain at this time? It's better to wait for everyone to harvest the crops on a sunny day."
Now the wheat in Zhuangzi is ripe. As long as wheat is planted, the fields are all golden. The damaged wheat ears are bigger and heavier than before, and each one bends the waist of the wheat straw. Which one Don’t farmers feel happy when they see such crops?
So these days, people in the village are always very happy, smiling wherever they go, and even the tone of voice when greeting people is filled with joy.
"Uncle Xiangping, have you harvested your wheat? If it's confiscated, I can help," Gu Siwei said politely.
As soon as they heard that Gu Siwei was going to help harvest wheat, everyone burst into laughter.
Guo Xiangping waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Let's forget it. The more you help, the more you help. Our family will accept it. Otherwise, why don't you ask others?"
Gu Siwei followed Le and said: "If I don't practice, how can I harvest it quickly? You won't be able to cut it out, right?"
"Yes, yes, but I can't afford it!" the old man next to him said happily.
Now every family has harvested more grain than before. If this happens again in autumn, there will be no need to worry this year. Both the adults and children in the family will be able to have enough to eat.
Although it is a full meal and you have to add potatoes and other things to the rice, this rice is not just soup and water, but serious dry food. What else do you want to eat these days?
If you are picky about food in a farmer like this, are you really not afraid of thunder and lightning?
Everyone was in a good mood, so they naturally joked with Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei just joined in the fun and changed the atmosphere. He also knew that the villagers would not let him help harvest wheat, no matter how good Gu Siwei's skills were.
Now Gu Siwei has become a very prestigious person in the village. This situation has already happened since Gu Siwei defeated the big bear Lu Tieshan.
"Okay, everyone, don't leave at noon. Come with me. Let's have a good meal at noon," Gu Siwei said.
The boat was ready, and everyone didn't receive much wages. Naturally, Gu Siwei couldn't be stingy anymore. Not only did he entertain everyone, but he also prepared some things for everyone before leaving.
Guo Xiangping shook his hand after hearing this: "If we don't talk about this now, how can we have time to drink wine? I owe you this wine first. Only when everyone is done with their work and puts the new grain into their own barns can their hearts be truly at ease." Come down, it will be fun to drink it then, who can taste it if you drink it now?"
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Seeing everyone agreeing, Gu Siwei said: "Okay, everyone will remember this meal, but I have prepared something for everyone and will send it to each family later."
"Then...Okay, we won't be polite anymore."
Several people knew that Gu Siwei would definitely not be too shabby to take action. This was one of the reasons why everyone was willing to help Gu Siwei build the ship during the busy farming season. It cannot be said that it was all because of this thing, but this thing must be a factor. If No one is willing to help others work in vain if they have nothing.
I understand this, but it doesn't make sense when I say it. It's a sign of insufficient brains.
"Why are you so polite? I have to thank you all," Gu Siwei said with a smile.
After chatting like this for a while, the launching ceremony began. A whip was set off, and then Gu Siwei and Sicui pushed the boat into the water. It was considered finished.
The wine was not finished, because everyone was busy, and now every second counts, so everyone left after the boat was launched into the water.
Now only Gu Siwei's family and Liu Fulin and Tao Yisheng were left.
"Let's go back?"
"What else is there to say? Let's go back," Tao Yisheng said.
Liu Fulin adjusted the bow of the boat, while Gu Siwei drove his new boat to the mouth of the gorge upstream.
I have to mention that this boat is beautiful, but it is really laborious. It takes at least half as much effort as Liu Fulin's boat to barely keep up with others' speed.
"Fourth dimension, fourth dimension!"
After walking less than ten meters, Gu Siwei heard someone calling him from behind.
Stopping and taking a look, the person coming was Guo Shengshui.
"Brother Shengshui, do you have anything to do with me?"
Guo Shengshui said: "If something happens, I won't stop you if it's okay. Director Wu from the factory notified me yesterday that he asked you to send two little wild boars over in three days. No later than five days at the latest." In the afternoon, because the guests will arrive in the evening. Also, if you can think of a way to get a big live fish to be sent together, the fish should be big, at least about 20 kilograms, preferably herring, carp is also acceptable. Nothing else is needed...".
"I understand." Gu Siwei nodded.
Wu Daorong wanted a lot of things this time. In addition to small wild boars and fish, he also wanted some wild mushrooms. If Gu Siwei wasn't going to pick these things himself, he would have to ask the villagers if they had them at home.
"Director Wu said that it is best to deliver the things quickly. If we don't have him, we should think of other ways. This guest is very important."
Gu Siwei said: "I know."
Are guests important? It doesn't matter whether it has anything to do with Gu Siwei, and every time Wu Daorong's guest or leader is important.
Watching Guo Shengshui leave, Gu Siwei said to Sicui and asked her to stay on the boat. He would go to Sun Laibao's house and ask Ma Chunya to help her collect some dried mushrooms from the villagers. Etc., charge as much as you can.
After handling this matter, Gu Siwei and Sicui went home.
Having my own boat makes me feel a lot more comfortable. I don't have to go to Liu Fulin's place every day to see if anyone needs the boat for urgent matters.
Back home, Gu Siwei also had work to do, what kind of work was he, cleaning the vat!
The purchased tank must be brushed inside and out. Not only must it be brushed, but it must also be cleaned. After brushing, it must be exposed to the hot sun.
According to what Tao Yisheng said, when the jar is finally placed in the cave, it is best to wipe it with strong white wine.
Gu Siwei couldn't do this. With so many tanks, he would have to wipe out several bottles of liquor. Now Gu Siwei is gradually falling in love with drinking wine.
How can a happy little life be considered happy without a plate of farm side dishes like peanuts and a little wine every day!
Gu Siwei hummed a tune while brushing the vat. This vat was quite big, and Gu Siwei knew how old it was. Anyway, Gu Siwei squatted in, and it was a little crowded, but squatting was no problem.
Gu Siwei spent almost half an hour cleaning this vat because he always felt that this vat had a different smell that couldn't be washed away or wiped clean.
Not only this one, but the three vats that were washed today all smelled like this, which made Gu Siwei want to curse.
Who are you scolding? Naturally, he scolded this boy Song Rui, saying that he had chosen a well-chosen vat, but why was there still defective product mixed in it.
He was cursing, but Gu Siwei still kept working on his hands. In the end, there was no other way to wash. Gu Siwei finally thought of white wine and started to wipe the wall of the tank with high-concentration white wine.
"If this doesn't work, then I really have no choice."
After wiping the inside and outside of the tank, Gu Siwei said to the tank.
"What can't be done?"
Tao Yisheng asked after hearing what Gu Siwei said.
"What are you doing here again?"
Gu Siwei had a black line on his forehead. This old guy came two or three times a day and watched him clean the vat, as if he was an overseer.
"Let me see how your tank is doing."
Tao Yisheng didn't care about the expression on Gu Siwei's face. He just said what he wanted to say and did what he wanted to do. Now Tao Yisheng had figured out the kid in front of him.
"This broken vat has a stinky smell that can't be washed away no matter how hard you wash it," Gu Siwei said.
"Can't wash it off? You didn't wash it carefully," Tao Yisheng said with a smile.
When he came to the tank, Tao Yisheng put his nose to the edge of the tank and took a sip. When Tao Yisheng smelled the smell, his expression felt a little wrong.
Tao Yisheng grabbed the edge of the tank with one hand and supported the belly of the tank with the other hand. He pushed gently to expose the bottom of the tank.
He stretched his head to take a look, and then Tao Yisheng looked at Gu Siwei with a strange expression.
