Life always needs some sense of ritual.
Han Cheng had heard this sentence many times from women in the past.
At that time, he generally treated this statement with a casual listen and generally did not comment on its correctness.
But now, having come to this era, Han Cheng is increasingly agreeing with this statement.
Life really needs a sense of ritual.
Especially in this era, in some occasions that are destined to be more important, it is even more necessary to highlight this sense of ritual.
Only in this way can it leave a deep impression on people and reflect people's importance.
When everything was ready, the son of God of the Qingque tribe, wearing new clothes, walked towards the sailboat with brisk steps.
Standing under the sailboat, he spoke a few words to the crowd, then climbed up a distance along the ladder against the side of the ship, then reached out and untied the long red cloth covering the side of the ship.
The red cloth slipped off, revealing the scene behind.
The most eye-catching are three words - Green Bird!
Above these three words, there is a lifelike bluebird with its wings spread out, ready to fly!
This was of course the advice Han Cheng left to Bo and others before he went to the south. After Bo and others built the big ship, they carved the name of the ship and the logo of the Green Bird on it.
At this time, Han Cheng unveiled it and displayed it in front of everyone, which naturally caused a lot of exclamations from the crowd, and there was also warm applause.
There are also some people who are good at creating an atmosphere. They curl up their fingers, put them in their mouths, take a breath, and blow hard, and immediately a sharp whistle sound is heard.
Han Cheng came down from the ladder and faced the tribesmen. He clapped with them for a while, then stretched out his hands, palms facing down, and pressed down a few times towards the crowd.
The enthusiastic applause finally stopped.
"I am very excited today, really excited! After such a long time of hard work, our tribe finally has a big ship!
This is a huge progress and an extremely rare thing for our tribe!
I have already mentioned how important the sailing ship is to the long-term development of our tribe, so there is no need to elaborate on it now...
At this time, the tribe was able to have such a large sailing ship, and some people made great contributions! "
Han Cheng said this, and then he personally went down to unveil a curtain, and the scene behind the curtain appeared in everyone's sight.
These people are none other than the entire shipbuilding staff!
Led by Lame, the chief carpenter of the tribe!
After the curtain was drawn, Han Cheng, the tribe's son of God, personally walked over to lead them to the open space in front of the sailboat and faced everyone present.
The people, led by Bo, lined up in several rows. Most of them were experiencing such a big scene for the first time. They were all very excited and didn't know where to put their hands.
Even the leader, Lame, could hardly hide his excitement at this moment.
This alone was not enough. At Han Cheng's signal, the wizard, whose hair had almost turned white, and the eldest senior brother, who also looked a little old, came up each holding a plate.
The trays they were holding were filled with red flowers.
However, the number of red flowers in the tray in Wu's hand was less, but they were much larger.
What the eldest brother held in his hand was exactly the opposite.
Han Cheng came up to Wu, reached out and picked up the largest flower in Wu's hand, hung it solemnly around Bo's neck, and carefully arranged it.
Then he picked up a smaller red flower, hung it around the neck of another person next to Lame, and arranged it carefully.
This man was the craftsman who made outstanding contributions to this shipbuilding project besides the great craftsman Bo.
There are quite a few people who have received this honor, as many as nine.
Han Cheng took the red flowers and put them on them one by one, and arranged them properly. He was very serious and not at all perfunctory.
After doing all this, he took smaller red flowers from the tray held by the eldest brother and gave them to the other people present one by one.
These people are considered to be helpers, and they are also the largest number among those who have been commended.
Although there were many people, Han Cheng was still meticulous when giving them red flowers.
After wearing the red flower, the matter did not end there. Wu and the eldest brother went back again and came back with two plates a short while later.
Compared to before, this time the eldest brother and Wu were not as relaxed as before.
This is because what was placed on it this time were some beautifully crafted bronze tablets.
Like the red flowers before, these bronze medals are also divided into three levels.
The one with the highest rank among them is naturally the lame one.
Not only is the shape exquisite, but even the words engraved on it are particularly weighty.
These words mean - Pioneers of Sailing!
The weight of the second grade is much lighter than the lame one.
The words engraved on it are "sailboat backbone".
The third batch is the lightest, and the words engraved on it are "Advanced Sailing Worker".
Han Cheng put them on his chest one by one again.
During this process, no one spoke. Everyone remained quiet the whole time, watching Han Cheng do these things.
"Look at these people! It's these people who invented the sailboat! They are the first of their kind, and they deserve these honors!"
After Han Cheng put on everyone's medals, he returned to where he had been standing before, faced the people in front of him, and spoke this.
Many people present couldn't help but shed tears when Han Cheng awarded them red flowers and medals.
At this time, when they heard Han Cheng, the Son of God, speaking in front of everyone in the tribe, conveying their achievements to the entire tribe, they could not hold back any longer, and many people's eyes turned red!
Even Lame, who was standing in the middle of the front row, had tears in his eyes and couldn't help but flow out.
This recognition is the Son of God's affirmation of their hard work over such a long period of time! It makes them feel that their efforts and hardships are worth it!
Under such circumstances, how could they not be moved?
How can I control my emotions?
Especially when many of their own tribesmen looked at them and applauded them, it became even more difficult for these people to control their emotions.
Some rough guys actually cried out loud in front of so many people...
After a commendation meeting personally hosted by Han Cheng, the Son of God, many of the people who participated in this event felt that their spirits had been baptized and sublimated...
Naturally, a commendation conference cannot exist alone.
After the commendation, a banquet that had been prepared for several days began. The protagonists of the banquet were naturally all the shipbuilding employees headed by Bo.
At this point, Han Cheng once again used his actions to prove that wherever he went, he would have a feast...
Han Cheng had prepared for this banquet long ago and attached great importance to it. In addition, he personally hosted it, so it was very successful and smooth, and there were no mistakes. When the iron pan fried shrimp was served, the banquet was immediately pushed to **...
On the third day after the banquet, the Qingque tribe shipyard became bustling again.
Many people boarded the tribe’s sailboat.
This kind of excitement lasted for about an hour before it came to an end.
The reason for the end of the trip was that Han Cheng, the Son of God, stepped onto the big sailboat, waved his hand to let the people from the tribe who came to see him off go back, and then ordered the people on the sailboat who were already prepared to set sail!
"Weigh anchor!"
When Xiong Youpi heard Han Cheng's order, he shouted loudly.
Immediately, someone pulled out the anchor, and then Xiong Youpi and a few others began to use a winch to stir the sturdy and heavy anchor in circles.
There were also sailors who used the thick oars on the boat to support the river bank and used their hands to push the boat into the river.
Experienced people have already started hoisting the sails, preparing to use the wind to go downstream.
"Go back and listen to your mother at home. You are still young and have not grown up yet. When you grow up a little, you can take a big ship like this and go on a long voyage!"
Standing on the slowly moving big ship, Han Cheng said this to Little Pea who was standing on the shore, waving at him and also wanting to get on the sailboat.
Han Cheng didn't mean to be perfunctory when he said this.
The situation was just as he said. Little Pea was indeed too young to follow a large ship on a long journey with an uncertain destination.
It would be really uncomfortable if you got sick or something on the way.
It’s really too late to regret now!
Although Little Pea also wanted to go with his father and take a big ship to a new place to play, he still listened to his father's words. When he heard his father say this, he was reluctant but nodded.
Just looking at the tall, majestic and magnificent sailing ship, I couldn't hide the longing in my eyes...
Before Han Cheng came back, the sailors on the ship had already driven the large sailboat on a trial voyage and had almost mastered every aspect of the sailboat.
And because of the existence of the small sailboat, the sailors in the tribe also conducted a lot of training through it.
It is precisely because of this that, at this moment, the tribe easily found sailors for the sailboat...
Everyone worked together, and before long, the large ship with its sails spread completely disappeared...
The people standing at the shipyard's dock to see them off gradually dispersed, but Little Pea stood there and did not leave.
His gaze was fixed on the direction where the ship left, and there seemed to be something flashing in his eyes.
The panda Tuantuan stood beside him, quietly accompanying this companion beast that he had played with since childhood.
However, due to its nature, this kind of silence could not last too long. Not long after, this black and white, bulging fellow rolled himself into a ball and rolled around here for fun...
The ship sailed along the way, and although there were some twists and turns in the middle, it was generally heading east.
There was a slight breeze today and the boat was sailing downstream, so it sailed very quickly. By sunset, it had already sailed seventy or eighty miles.
The people of the Qingque tribe are familiar with these waterways, so no accidents occurred.
In the autumn evenings, there are always gorgeous sunsets, and today is no exception.
At this time, the ship had dropped anchor and was anchored in the middle of the river.
On the deck, someone brought out a few stoves, lit a fire and started cooking. The curling smoke blended into the scenery, adding a touch of homely flavor.
There were many people on the deck.
“Crash~”
A sound of water was heard, shattering the red clouds.
Someone stood on the deck and waited for a while. When the rope in his hand stopped sinking, he tied it to the railing at the edge of the ship.
He put the shrimp cage in there.
Some people also put fish cages in it.
Xiong Youpi was standing on the side of the boat, sorting out his magic weapons.
After some tidying up, he straightened up with the things in his hands.
In his hand was a casting net, which had been picked up at this time.
Xiong Youpi glanced at the water in front of him, then turned around, with his back to the water, and raised his right hand holding the net to above his left hand.
Then he twisted his waist, shook his arms, and spread the net in his hands the moment he turned around.
The entire net opened up, forming a big circle, covering the river surface below!
The net is very big, with a diameter of twelve meters when it is spread out!
Many people in the tribe could not cast such a large net fully, but Xiong Youpi was an exception.
This guy is big and strong, and he is very good at casting nets. When he has such a big net in his hands, he can just cast it to the top!
It’s very round, just like it was drawn with a compass!
The afterglow of the setting sun added some color to the open net.
A moment later, Xiong Youpi stood by the railing, pulled the hand rope, and pulled up the casting net.
There were fish struggling in the net, casting some bright white lights in the sunset.
As the fish came out of the water, the deck suddenly became much more lively.
Han Cheng saw Xiong Youpi pulling the net up all the way, throwing five fish of different sizes into the fish cage, and starting to tidy up the net, preparing to cast the net again. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the water surface that was red in the sunset.
On the water, in the sunset, someone was rowing a boat from one side of the water to the other.
These are a few people from the tribe. They lowered a small boat from the big sailboat and used it to cast the net here.
The net they set was a dip net.
Compared with casting net, dip net is more convenient to use. Just put the fishing net into the water and forget about it. When you leave the next day, you can just pull the net in.
Of course, each has its own advantages, and we cannot completely deny the use of a net...
In the evening on the river, Han Cheng sat on the deck leaning against the mast, gently stroking Fu Jiang's dog head, staring at the scene in front of him in a trance...
