Chapter 1172: Start making a sailboat two-in-one



There was some mist on the river surface in the early morning.

There are already some cicadas chirping on both sides of the strait.

The morning breeze was blowing gently, and in the lotus pond not far away, some of the lotus buds had already bloomed.

When the wind blows, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers can't stop swaying in the wind.

Some lotus petals were blown away by the wind and fell into the water, like a curved pink boat floating on the water.

Blown by the wind, it drifted to one side until it approached a lotus root stalk, where it stopped temporarily.

Standing at the dock of the Qingque tribe, you can smell the fragrance coming in the wind.

The bamboo raft moored at the Qingque tribe's pier was once again filled with people and things.

These things were obtained by the Fire Tribe in exchange for linen from the Green Bird Tribe.

Among these items, millet is the most important because it is easy to store and very delicious.

The second is salt, which the Fire Tribe people have become inseparable from.

The people of the Fire Tribe also asked for some pottery and other things.

In the past year, the pottery in their tribe was damaged due to some unexpected human factors.

In addition, some of the children are older, so we need to buy some more ceramic bowls.

In addition to these, the people of the Fire Tribe actually exchanged a few bars of soap and some sweet candies in bamboo tubes from the Green Bird Tribe, which was rare!

This is really a very rare thing for the Fire Tribe.

Huotan stood on the bamboo raft, looking at the many foods on it, then looked down at the two bamboo tubes he was holding tightly in his hands, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He was particularly grateful and respectful towards the Qingque tribe and Chen, who had just become the chief leader of his tribe.

Because Chen served as the chief leader of his own tribe, when he brought his people and hemp cloth to exchange with the Qingque tribe this time, the people of the Qingque tribe followed what they had said before in their own tribe and gave preferential treatment to his tribe and others in the exchange.

For the same amount of linen, the tribe could exchange a lot more things than before.

The food, pottery, salt and other daily necessities we exchanged were much more than last year, and there was still some left over.

That's why Huotan was so generous this time and exchanged for some soaps and fruit candies, which were simply luxurious and unnecessary for him.

"Son of God, witch, leader, we are going back now."

Huotan spoke Mandarin in a very Qingque tribe style to Han Cheng and others who were standing on the dock.

Han Cheng, Wu and others nodded at them.

"Drive slowly, be careful, don't be too hasty, safety comes first."

After Han Cheng nodded to Huotan and others, he gave them these instructions.

Such words of advice, which are often heard at parting in later generations, were heard by Huotan and others, and they could not help but feel moved.

The Son of God is truly caring and kind.

Here, they received extreme respect and kindness that they had never received before.

"Um!"

"@#3~"

Huotan and others nodded vigorously.

The reason why some people responded in the language of the Fire Tribe was because some of them could understand a lot of Mandarin, but could not speak it.

This situation is not uncommon, after all, the ears, brain and mouth are not a closely connected system.

It's like watching a talented person do exquisite work -

Eye: I see.

Brain: I wrote it down and understood it. It doesn’t seem difficult at all and it is very easy to do.

Hand: Get out!!!

The bamboo raft loaded with cargo moved along the water, and soon, under the watchful eyes of Han Cheng and others, it drifted downstream.

After sailing forward for a distance, it began to turn and was obscured by the dense hemp fields planted along the river and disappeared.

After Han Cheng stood here and waited for a while, he returned to the tribe with his eldest brother and others, chatting and laughing all the way. They all started to busy themselves with the things they needed to do, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

When the linen from the Fire Tribe arrived at the tribe, the problems he had encountered were solved, and he could continue to weave and transport linen for his tribe.

Moreover, because of some of the methods adopted by the Son of God, the connection between the Fire Tribe and his own tribe has become closer. Such a great thing will of course make people feel particularly happy...

Han Cheng returned to the tribe, and soon people began to do things according to his instructions.

A barrel of tung oil was brought out and the lid was opened.

A piece of stretched cloth was held in one's hand and put into a barrel of tung oil.

After the cloth entered the tung oil barrel, it did not sink due to buoyancy.

The man then pressed it down with a clean wooden stick, and it was completely submerged.

After waiting for a while, he picked it up by the corner of the cloth.

Start draining the oil.

Draining the oil is a rather troublesome task. It is not easy to drain and you need to stand here and wait for about five minutes. The oil on the lifted linen will then slowly slide down.

After the oil on the linen slowly drips down, it will be placed on a rack that has been prepared nearby to dry.

This will reduce people's burden.

But even so, it is not easy to do this.

Not to mention anything else, just the act of lifting the linen cloth soaked in tung oil off the ground and waiting quietly for a few minutes is enough to make people feel tired.

After standing here and watching the work for a while, I saw that these two people, who had dealt with tung oil a lot before, did this job very well, and then they left and went to the carpenter's room.

The lucky general standing next to him shook his head vigorously and followed.

Just looked a little lazy.

There is a shade of trees in the open space outside the carpenter's office.

This is probably the shadiest place in the Qingque main tribe, with the most dense trees.

This is the result of the trees that Han Cheng had people planted when he was planning the tribe, and they have now grown lush and leafy.

Carpentry requires a large space, especially when working on large items.

When it is windy, rainy or cold, people can hide in their houses.

But if the weather is hot, working in the house would be extremely uncomfortable.

Han Cheng had already considered this problem a long time ago, so we have this green shade now.

There are a lot of woods placed in the open space under the shade of trees.

There were logs piled there that had been simply processed, as well as large planks that had been sawn.

Sawdust and some curled shavings were scattered in many places.

There were quite a few people busy here, making a series of clanging sounds, or the sound of axes chopping wood.

There are already many carpenters in the tribe now.

Because many tools in the tribe cannot be separated from the presence of carpenters.

A carpenter is needed to do it.

Some things can be accomplished with only a half-baked carpenter.

For example, finding, polishing and installing wooden handles for sickles, hoes and other tools.

But more complicated things require professional carpenters to do.

For example, building cars, ships, making harrows, rakes, and plows.

There were too many demands, and the previous carpenters were simply unable to handle it.

In addition, in the tribe, carpenters have a relatively high status in terms of respect, because they have skillful hands and can make things that most people cannot make.

Under such circumstances, there will certainly be more craftsmen in the tribe.

"Son of God."

"Son of God."

After seeing Han Cheng coming, a voice of greeting was quickly heard here.

Han Cheng smiled and nodded to them, motioning them to continue with their work, and then he walked deeper into the cave.

After a while, Han Cheng walked to a corner of the shade and stopped.

In the dense shade, there is a square wooden table.

There are chairs with backrests next to the wooden table.

On one of the chairs, there was a person sitting, looking at the papers spread on the table seriously.

A ray of sunlight came down from the sky and landed on his left cheek, making his bronze skin look even more sexy.

It made him look like a sculpture.

This man was none other than the best carpenter in the tribe, Lame.

At this moment, Bo was completely focused and his entire mind was highly concentrated.

He paid no attention to what was happening around him.

All his thoughts were focused on the paper spread on the table in front of him.

Han Cheng didn't say anything, but walked quietly to Bo's side, looking at Bo silently, not wanting to disturb him.

Han Cheng was very familiar with the paper in front of Lame.

Because he drew this book and gave it to Bo.

The sailboat is outlined with lines on the paper.

Han Cheng worked hard for a long time to draw this picture based on his impression of the sailboats he had seen before.

It is impossible to set a standard because he has never had any real experience with sailing.

Moreover, in his previous life, he had never thought that there would be a day when he would conceive and lead the tribe's man-made sailboat.

I never paid much attention to it.

So now I can only describe the impression of the sailboat in my mind, which is not very clear, as comprehensively and accurately as possible.

In order to bring inspiration and ideas to me.

Let lame have a reference.

Han Cheng was extremely serious about making the sailboat this time.

Even on the way back from the Fire Tribe, he had already started writing and preparing for it.

The reason why Han Cheng is so active, apart from his seemingly whimsical idea of ​​wanting the whole world to speak Mandarin, is that there is a more powerful motivation.

That motivation is delicious ingredients scattered around the world.

Han Cheng really wants to collect all of them during his lifetime.

No matter how the tribe can develop in the future, and no matter how the tribe's technology tree, which has long been led astray by him, a person who has not received systematic training, can develop, Han Cheng has had a dream for a long time until now, that one day, he will be able to collect all the food that he eats in the place where he lives in the future.

In the past, there were many things to do and the problem of food and clothing needed to be solved.

The tribe is not big, the population base is small, and there are no extra material conditions for him to move towards his dream.

But now it's different.

Compared with the previous times, the current tribe has reached a certain scale and a certain stage.

There can be a certain material foundation that allows him to take steps in this direction.

Although the step could not be very big, the first step was still taken after all.

It is quite similar to when he first found the seeds of wild rapeseed and couldn't wait to sow them when the right season came.

The actual role it plays is not that great, but the significance it represents is extremely extraordinary.

He stood there quietly, looking at Lame who was thinking seriously while looking at the drawings on the table. He seemed to be in a trance, as if he saw some scenes he longed for appearing before his eyes.

The time spent under the shade of the trees is very quiet. Even if the sounds of people making things are heard from time to time, it will not disturb these times.

"Hmm~?"

I don’t know how long it took, but Bo finally raised his head and collected his thoughts.

He carefully used a flat and clean stone to press down the drawings on the table, then stood up from the chair and limped to the side, as if he was trying to find something.

After walking towards the side for a distance, he suddenly realized that there was someone standing next to him.

"Son of God!"

After he was stunned for a moment, he said this quickly with a little shock.

Han Cheng smiled and nodded at him: "How is it?"

He asked with a smile.

"I have figured out some things, but many things are still unclear. I have to actually do it to figure out many things."

Lame thought for a moment and said this out loud.

"I would like to gather together those people in the tribe who have been involved in shipbuilding in the past one or two years and have a lot of experience in shipbuilding, so that we can study together how to build such a complex ship.

If everything goes well, we will start making it in the next two days."

Bo said this to Han Cheng, telling Han Cheng what he was thinking.

Han Cheng nodded.

He had no objection to what Bo had just said. This was a completely new and complicated thing that really required a lot of exploration.

"It's a complicated matter for you to handle. I'm not very clear about how to make it specifically. You need to explore more..."

Han Cheng said this.

"Son of God... After a boat like this is built, can we really catch some delicious crayfish?"

The lame man, who had the demeanor of a great craftsman, suddenly asked such a question and swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner.

The demeanor of a master craftsman suddenly disappeared...
