Chapter 1263: Brave game

"Is this what you said is fun?" Qian Congcong saw the scene in front of him a little dazed. As for the girls who came with him, they looked far away with disgust. However, a few have taken out their mobile phones to broadcast live. Many of the girls here are Internet celebrities, whether they are from China or from the country of Japan. Is this Qian Congcong's interest?
They came to a traditional handcrafted shipyard, where a group of boatmen were busy there, and the floor was full of wood scraps.
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Yes, I ordered ten four-meter-long wooden boats here. In fact, I prefer to make this boat in China, but now this kind of small wooden boat craftsmanship is almost lost in China. There are still this technology in places like Chaozhou Raoping, but there are too few practitioners. It will be boring after they complete my order at least half a year. And the tradition here is much better, so I I ordered ten ships here. There are also many boat workers and assembly line operations, so the work can be completed in half a month, just in time for me to do something fun!"
"What fun thing?" Qian Congcong asked curiously.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Does this need to be asked? Of course it is a man's game!" He said as he walked up to an old carpenter. There were two boats there just after varnishing and basking in the sun. The old craftsman was working. Squatting on the ground, observing the details of the wooden boat with smoke in his mouth. Seeing Xiao Peng coming, he quickly called a young man over. It was his son who was here to act as an interpreter.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Master Park, let me see how the progress is going?"
This old man is the owner of this shipyard and the great craftsman Park Zhengfu here. His son said with a smile, "Boss Xiao, my father said thank you for giving us such a big order. We will definitely do our best to make these boats. Yes, but my father is very puzzled. Mr. Xiao, why do you make this kind of boat? This kind of boat can carry two people at most, and its ability to resist wind and waves is also poor. It can only be used in offshore areas. You are engaged in offshore breeding. Huh? But that can't use so many boats, right?"
Xiao Peng grinned and said: "Just think I am playing for the water fight. Master Park, I trust you. The quality of this ship is what I value most. In the future, we may have further cooperation. Perfunctory."
As a result, Park Zhengfu looked angry after understanding Xiao Peng's meaning: "Boss Xiao, I will be angry when I say this! You are insulting an old shipbuilder who has been building a ship for more than 40 years! Other things can be faked. Can't fake it! Even if you are my patron, I have my pride!"
Xiao Peng also knew that he was wrong, so he directly apologized: "Master Park, I'm sorry, this is what I can't speak." People with superb craftsmanship have their own pride, and it seems that this is also the case with Park Zhengfu.
When Park Zhengfu heard Xiao Peng say this, he did not continue to pursue it. After all, this is a rich man?
Xiao Peng took a close look at the painted boat and gave a thumbs up to Park Zhengfu: "Master Park, no, Master Park, if it is the craftsmanship of these two boats, then I will never pick any faults. The selection of materials to the craftsmanship are first-class!
After hearing this, Park Zhengfu put on a proud look on his face: "I can't tell that Boss Xiao is still a good person!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I also know some carpenter skills, and the identification of wood is the basic skill. So, Master Park, you are busy here first, I will go and see the work situation there."
How does Xiao Peng's carpenter level ‘know some’? That level is unfathomable. The most powerful carpenters in the Japanese country have to worship him as a teacher. It is not a problem for him to make wooden boats by himself, but after all, considering the wood and other reasons, he is not willing to waste time on such small tasks, so this When I came to Mokpo City, I saw the wooden boat craftsmen here, so I simply gave them the job.
Qian Congcong followed Xiao Peng and looked left and right: "Brother Peng, what did you say just now, he said you are knowledgeable?"
Xiao Peng was watching a person next to boil the water, and after listening to Qian Congcong’s words, he said,
It’s important to choose materials for the boat. Don’t think the boat is very small. It uses two kinds of wood, cypress and pine. Needless to say,'Millennium undersea pine, Wannianzaogefeng' means that pine is not afraid of moisture and is very suitable for the bottom of a ship. Not to mention cypress, which contains resin and has strong corrosion resistance, so it has always been shipbuilding. These two types of wood are cheap to buy in a plastic surgery country. It is really suitable to choose these two types of wood to build this kind of boat."
At this moment, the boiling waterer next to him boiled the water, but he was not using it for drinking, but ran to the next hull that was being made, pouring the water one by one.
Qian Congcong looked at it and asked puzzledly: "What is this for?"
Xiao Peng suddenly smiled: "The shipbuilding technology in this country of plastic surgery originally came from China! This method of pouring the hull of the ship with boiling water was invented by the people of China. You see, the wood of the hull is fixed by manpower. Boiled water can prevent the wood from breaking during the bending process. To be honest, why is this wooden boat manufacturing process disappearing in China? It is that these little tricks are not systematically recorded in writing systems, and all experience can only be done. Learned by living."
"This boat is so simple, can any carpenter do it well?" Qian Congcong asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng gave him a white look: "Since ancient times, shipbuilding has not been a trivial matter. We are not here in Africa. Just find a tree and dig a hole to be a ship. Just such a small boat, from the initial selection of materials to the final painting and adding It looks like there are more than 20 processes. And you haven’t found it? They don’t need drawings at all when building ships, they just look at them with their eyes and measure them with their hands. Finally, when the ship is best, it needs to use materials to fill the gaps between the wood. Work, and it’s still hard work. All the manual work must be done step by step. Because of this, I don’t bother to do it myself."
After hearing Xiao Peng's words, Qian Congcong's eyes widened: "Is it so troublesome to build such a small wooden boat?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "What do you think? To make such a boat not only needs to be beautiful, but also has strong stability and high safety factor. It relies on the experience of the craftsman. Of course, wooden boats are also beneficial, like when sailing at sea. In the event of strong winds and waves, the iron ship will easily sink due to its own weight, but the wooden ship will fluctuate with the waves, and the relative safety factor is higher.

Qian Congcong was happy after hearing this: "Brother Peng, you teased me again, didn't the wooden boat sink more?"
"This is because of the problem of firmness." Xiao Peng explained: "Steel hulls are difficult to be broken by waves, but wooden boats can be broken by waves, so we can only say that each has its advantages and disadvantages. In addition, wooden boats have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can carry more weight than a boat of the same size. You see, most of our domestic fishing boats choose wooden boats for this reason."
Qian Congcong blinked, "Isn't it because it's cheap?"
"Inexpensive? Don't think that wooden boats are much cheaper than steel boats. A larger wooden fishing boat costs hundreds of thousands, even millions or even two to three million." Xiao Peng said.
"Then how much are these boats?" Qian Congcong looked at the boats being made.
Xiao Peng grinned, "Don't underestimate this boat. If you include wood and handwork, it costs 5 million won. This is because I want to give more discount."
Qian Congcong looked at the two wooden boats that were already being painted: "Such a small boat costs more than 30,000? It doesn't have a big wardrobe, so it's really not cheap."
Xiao Peng smiled: "This is really a preferential price."
Qian Congcong asked puzzledly: "What do you want these boats for?"
Xiao Peng's answer is not what he asked: "Have you seen "The Old Man and the Sea"?"
Qian Congcong nodded: "Of course I have read such a good book!" This answer is not surprising, although Qian Congcong seems to be a spender, but in fact he is a real scholar, and he has read such a famous book. Not surprising!
Xiao Peng asked, "Do you know how difficult it is for the old man inside to catch a sailfish?"
Qian Congcong nodded: "The old man in the book struggled with the sailfish for three days and nights before putting the fish in uniform. This should be a literary exaggeration? Is there any problem with this?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said: "This is really not an exaggeration. It is not easy for an old man in a boat like that to drag a sailfish weighing several hundred catties aboard. And..."
"And?" Qian Congcong looked at Xiao Peng curiously.
Xiao Peng said: "The old man was dragged directly to the deep sea area by the fish, and he almost couldn't come back alive. This is not an exaggeration. It is not surprising where such a boat drags people. If you simply calculate the distance, it will take three days and three nights. It's normal to drag two or three thousand kilometers. Fortunately, the sailfish also likes to be within their living area when escaping, otherwise they can drag the old man from the Caribbean to the Stars and Stripes."
Qian Congcong asked puzzledly: "What are you doing suddenly mentioning this?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "That's it. There were two Taiwanese dart players who came to me to dart fish. At that time, I had a whim. There are many swordfish and swordfish in my fishing ground. To start a dart contest, use the oldest boat and the oldest harpoon to dart the fish. What do you think of this game? Let me tell you, if you can really dart the fish at sea, let’s not talk about how this fish can be I can’t catch it, and don’t say how far I can drag the boat. Maybe I can overturn the boat. That’s the best way to fish. How? It’s exciting to listen to it?"
Qian Congcong blinked after hearing this: "This seems to be really exciting! Why don't you publicize it?"
"Promotion? What to promote? It's just playing with friends. The risk of playing this way is so high, so consider it as a leisure activity in our fishery. Anyway, there are a group of silly and bold groups in our fishery. There are too few entertainment projects on the island. Isn't it something other entertainment?" Xiao Peng said cheerfully.
Qian Congcong's eyes rolled: "Brother Peng! I beg you! You must let my anchors live this game! My God! This game is so cool!"
