Cai Nan's Shipbuilding (I)

Ma Changyuan is a famous water carpenter in Baiyangdian. He can build ships and wooden boats.

Ma Changyuan has three unique skills in shipbuilding, which are incomparable to dry carpenters. One must look at the material of the tree. People in the water town say that his eyes are searchlights, which can penetrate trees. Sometimes he goes to the dry land to buy trees, not tall and smooth trees, but takes a fancy to the wood with scars. When his son loach asked him why, he tugged at the old man's braid and said, silly boy, learn from dad. Look at this tall and smooth tree. The leaves on it are all burnt, and the roots must be empty. When he said this, he called the seller and sawed the tree material, which was half empty. Come on, look at this piece. Don't look at it for scars, for scars. It doesn't matter. It is a dry scar, not a water scar. The water scar indicates that there is something wrong with the tree. It's cheap when it's dry. Wood is hard and cheap. As he spoke, he called the seller and sawed the tree material. It really doesn't matter. People in the water town also said that his eyes are rulers and soft rulers, and when you turn them, you can produce materials. Once I went to cut down a tree, someone pointed to a tree with a tree dragon and told him that the tree was bumpy and there was not enough material for a boat, so I gave it to you for nothing. He bypassed the tree, picked up the saw and operated it himself. Straight when met, bent when met, and sawed when met. Hey, the cargo of a pair of eagle rafts suddenly came out. Second, the line is accurate. Dry carpenters can only put a straight line, while Ma Changyuan can put a curve according to the parts of the ship when building a ship. The third thing is printing, that is, patching the ship. Remove the damaged part of the hull with tools first, and the holes will naturally become irregular. Then, choose a suitable piece of wood, cut it with an axe without measuring the size, just cut it, and it will fit perfectly as soon as it is put in place.

With these three unique skills, Ma Changyuan's shipbuilding workshop is well-known in the water town.

Ma Changyuan began to build eagle rafts and duck rafts. In his later years, Baiyangdian Lake was full of water, rich in water and fish, so it was very comfortable for fishermen to raise ducks and eagles. He told the eagle row and duck row to be 65,438+0.65, 438+0.5 feet and 2.25 feet wide. They are narrow, light and dexterous, and they can turn around easily. They can also chop waves on the waves in the event of a big storm. In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, fishermen rowed eagle rafts to chase eagles eastward and catch fish. Suddenly, they were caught in a storm and rushed to Tianjinwei, but the eagle rafts and osprey were safe and sound. After a calm, Ren Da-Mast hemp fiber hat was still on, carrying a big fish of more than 30 kilograms to thank him.

Later, Ma Changyuan made a little modification, and created a cannon platoon on the basis of eagle platoon and duck platoon. The ship is flat-bottomed and rudderless, with a wide front and a narrow back. Three pipes of fire can be placed in a wide place for hunters in Baiyangdian to shoot wild ducks, catch geese and catch water gulls. In the barrel, sand is loaded in the front and gunpowder is loaded in the back. In this design, people are not on the boat, but lurking in the water. After locking the target, they will ignite and the gunpowder will push the sand out. With a gunshot, the prey will fall to the ground. /kloc-On a rainy night in 0/937, Ren Daqian mysteriously found Ma Changyuan, handed him a pocket of ocean, and said breathlessly, Brother Chang ... Chang Yuan, you should quickly prepare materials, process them overnight, and build me ... ten guns and ten boats! He took the ocean and asked, Why are you in such a hurry? Ren Dazhao said that the Yanling team fought the devils and the Japanese motorboats all went to Baiyangdian! He put the ocean bag back in Ren Daqian's hand and ran to the yard to count the wood in his shorts. Brother, 12 ship has enough materials. I'll make the front wider and put four tubes of ware, which is more lethal! Ren Daqian stopped breathing this time. He said, what about this boat? Ma Changyuan said, how much is the boat? Let's talk about it when the japs come! Ren Daqian thanked him and said to be careful. He stopped Ren Daqian, and so on. I'll wake the loach so that you can take him with you-

The biggest ship built by Ma Changyuan is called Right Trough. The docking slot consists of two ships with the same length. The bow end of the front section is inclined and the tail end is square box, while the bow end of the rear section is square box and the tail end is inclined. The square box ends of the two ships are butted together and connected by cables. This ship is heavy and stable, and can transport dozens of tons of goods. All goods entering and leaving Baiyangdian depend on it. After the founding of New China, Ren Daqian, then the captain of Yanling, became the county magistrate. It was with this boat that he pulled a load of bricks, bricks, sand and cement to Ma Changyuan's stormy shipbuilding workshop. During the land reform, the county magistrate overthrew the traitor fisherman Xiong Bangzong and demolished his ancestral temple. He helped him build a shipyard on the old site of Xiong Jia ancestral temple. Amid firecrackers, Ren Daqian cut the ribbon for the shipyard, then blushed and said to Ma Changyuan, Brother Changyuan, I'm back. I didn't bring the loach back. He was arranged at Tianjin Shipyard. He is only a teenager. Learn to be an apprentice first. He will return to your factory as an engineer! Ma Changyuan snorted, fart! What can a person who doesn't even go home learn? What kind of engineer can you be? I don't want it, I can do it myself!

Ma Changyuan is right. After all, the loach didn't go back to Shuizhai to settle down, nor did he go back to his father's shipyard. He became the director of Tianjin Shipyard, and after retirement, he invested and founded Baiyangdian Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in the county, which is now listed.

Director Ma Mishu and Chairman Ma Mishu actually come to pay a New Year call to his father every year, and they will do the long-term work of Ma during the New Year call. A few years ago, he said, Dad, come with me to Tianjin. Look at this Baiyangdian Lake. Cracked, reeds don't grow, and lotus flowers don't bloom. Your boat is useless, you can't even earn money to eat and drink. Go and see my original boat and dragon boat, used in the Summer Palace and the West Lake! Look at my 10,000-ton ship, heading straight for the Pacific Ocean! Ma Changyuan said lazily, you are not making, you are producing! Where is my wooden boat? This is called handicraft art! Later, when the Yellow River reached Baiyangdian, he said, Dad, you are over ninety years old, so move to the city. I made way for you, went back to the county seat and bought you a house with three bedrooms and one living room! Ma Changyuan drooped his eyelids and said, I live in a comfortable house given to me by the county magistrate and given to me by the people! At this time, the horse loach wanted to solve it forcibly. He and the coachman put the horse in the car for a long time. Ma Changyuan always falls out with Zhui Er. I don't want to go. A good waterway could have run my wooden boat. You want to donate money to build the bridge, and the waterway has been painted. I can't get used to it!

Horse loach is at a loss. He hired a nanny for Ma Changyuan and sent his grandson Mary to Ma Changyuan's house during the winter and summer vacations. Sometimes horsepower comes by motorboat and sometimes by speedboat. This summer, I flew back. He thought his grandfather, an old man with a white beard, was very interesting, so he kept asking him about his past and his shipbuilding. After listening to this, he muttered to Ma Changyuan, "Grandpa, it's all your own bragging. At present, the boats running in Baiyangdian are speedboats and motorboats, and even the top ones are mechanical steel boats. Where do you think the wooden boat you built is? "

Ma Changyuan patted the flatterer's head and said, * * *, you're here! Trembling, he led the horse into a locked shed in the yard. Squeaking and twisting, the shed door opened and a ray of sunshine came in. Wow, Ma Li saw a room full of exquisite wooden boat models.

Ma Changyuan said vaguely, this is the eagle chop, this is the duck chop, this is the cannon chop, and this is the right slot. ...

In spring, the village head accompanied the township head to Chen Jiubing's reed field. At that time, Chen Jiubing was bending over to mow the grass, weeding the half-legged reed. Green reeds are full of vitality and sing in the spring breeze. A few croaking birds are barking and jumping at Chen Jiubing's feet.

The village chief said, Jiubing, the head of the township has come to see you-

Chen Jiubing straightened up and wiped his sweat with the back of his hand. Oh, township head and village head can feel the warmth of * * * when they see me. Why did you come in person?

A quacking bird jumped on the foot of the township head. The steward ha ha smiled. Mr. Chen says you are a hard-to-shave. If I don't come, I can't shave this head!

Chen Jiubing poked the hoe to the ground. Where did the flight attendant say? We ordinary people don't shave our heads. When our hair grows, just shave it with a knife. How dare we disturb the housekeeper?

The head of the township blew away the quack bird that jumped on its feet. Mr. Chen, do you know that Baiyangdian is going to build a leisure tourism complex?

Know! The village chief has told me several times.

This is a big project, a big project to attract investment from the whole city and even the whole province!

How old is it? /How old?

How old is it? /How old? This 3,000-mu reed field and lotus pond should be dug up, drained and built into hotels, monasteries, clubs and golf courses! By then, it will attract thousands of people to come here for tourism and leisure, and it will create hundreds of millions of taxes for the country. what do you think?

Big, really big! Chen Jiubing said, but what's wrong with my five and a half acres of reed fields hindering big projects? Can a golf course be built in such a big place?

The village chief knocked and poked the hoe. Nine soldiers, didn't I tell you? You can't build a golf course in such a big place, but it's in the center of the course. Do you think it doesn't matter?

Chen Jiubing poked the fallen hoe again. What happened to my own land? Grandpa planted reeds to make mats and foils, and Dad planted reeds to store grain. Reed field is their life! Then I came to me. It is said that reeds are useless now. No, I know. I also have a big project. My daughter signed a contract with foreign trade in Beijing to collect this reed and export it to reed painting!

The head of the township snorted and almost spit out his phlegm with laughter. Is that all you can do, Reid? Foreigners are not rare!

Township head, why are you laughing at me? You should support me! I don't have enough reeds, but I'm going to buy this 3 thousand mu of reeds, right? Are there very few foreigners?

Someone will sell you reeds? The township head asked Chen Jiubing, but turned to the village head.

I will! I made a deal with reed farmers last winter. Chen Jiubing turned to the village head, but turned to his head.

That's an old imperial calendar. I'll enlighten you when you come. The village chief took Chen Jiubing and waded through several thick reeds to the edge of the reed field. Frowning, "Ga Ga Ji, Ga Ga Ji-"several small squares were picked up. The village chief stretched out his hand and didn't catch it. I said, Jiubing, do you still have Ding in this reed field?

Chen Jiubing said, don't say anything, even egrets and yellow cranes have been here! I have dense reeds here, and birds are willing to come!

Then how about you get me some diced fish to stew and catch some egrets and yellow cranes to raise?

No, village chief, Chen Jiubing said, birds are the soul of reeds. If the birds don't come, the reed will die and have no soul.

The village chief pulled Chen Jiubing down, handed him a cigarette in his left hand and a stack of paper in his right hand. I'm just kidding you. I am a fairy, and I have no awareness of protecting animals. Do you think they will sell you reeds? You see, they have sold the reed field to the developer, and all the money has gone into their pockets! You are stupid, even as stupid as croak!

Chen Jiubing turned over the contract one by one. Turn a page and say, I'll go, turn a page and say, I'll go. How is that possible? He said * * *-at some point, he was going to tear up the contract and the village chief took it away. You tore up the contract, and you can tear people back? You should also sign it quickly. An acre is more than 50 thousand, and five and a half acres is less than 300 thousand Where can I sell reeds for so much money?

No, more than that! I don't know when the housekeeper leaned in. I just called the developer and said you were the last one. If you sign it today, I'll give you tens of thousands more to travel to Xinmatai again!

What if I don't sign it? Chen Jiubing put the cigarette in his ear, thought about it, took it off and threw it on the ground.

It was the nail house that destroyed the big environment of attracting investment in the city, and the public security stepped in and arrested you. In the end, the money can't be caught, and the land can't fall! Finally, the chicken died-

A croaking bird followed him again and climbed to the head of the township. As soon as the housekeeper lifted her foot, the leather shoes were severely trampled down!

Chen Jiubing brushed aside the leather shoes in charge, picked up the croaking bird and complained, Silly bird, do you think those are my leather shoes?

Don't be silly, the village chief handed me a blank contract. Your son is a civil servant in the city and owns a small restaurant. Civil servants themselves can't do business. He didn't pay taxes in the restaurant. The city is trying to check him! If you sign it, everything will be settled! Sign it!

Chen Jiubing leng along while, trembling crooked to sign his name on the contract, with bird blood on a fat fingerprint!

The village head and township head developers did not break their word, and arranged for Chen Jiubing to travel abroad the next day.

A week later, Chen Jiubing returned to Baiyangdian. He didn't come home. As soon as he got off the boat, he went straight to the reed field.

He didn't see the singing reeds, the croaking birds jumping around him, or the owls flying casually under his arms. What he saw was a dozen excavators roaring like Niu Wangmo in Cleisthenes. In Chen Jiubing's eyes, this is not an excavator, but a monster sent by aliens. First, the monster slowly craned his neck, put his hand into the sky in horror, then slowly leaned down, and his sharp claws reached into the lush reeds. With a jerk, the roots of the reeds were pulled up. Then it stretched out into the distance, and with a bang, the reed leaves and roots were thrown to the bank five meters away. The levee is endless, and the original endless waters have changed. ...

Chen Jiubing felt that his heart was pulled up, pulled into the air, fooled, fooled, and before he could calm down, he was thrown out and smashed into green, white and yellow mixed mud. ...

No, don't-he shouted, jumping in front of the mud in that place. It's getting late. He came back late. His five-and-a-half-acre reed field and Baiyangdian Lake have long been cut open by these monsters.

Chen Jiubing stayed up all night. The next day, he found the village head and asked the village head to accompany him to the township head. The township head was in a meeting. He threw a bulging plastic bag on the township head's desk and shouted, Township head, I don't want to sell this reed field, and I don't care about my son's business. You can do anything you like!

Say that finish, I turned and left.

People haven't seen Chen Jiubing for a long time. After a while, the excavator left. After a while, the excavator came again. They opened the high embankment, leveled the raised reed fields and lotus ponds, and the eager water outside came back with enough strength. Three days later, the Great Lakes recovered as before, and the waves were as flat as a mirror.

But the people in the electric channel didn't see Chen Jiubing come back.

In autumn, the township head came to the village to decorate the construction of beautiful countryside, and came to the village head's house to drink. When he was drunk, the township head became excited. You ask who made the lake recharge? Chen Jiubing! This old boy has a lot of nerve. First, he ran to the city to report that the city didn't say anything. In the province again, there is no result yet. Where did you say he went? Let his daughter take him directly to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and attend Focus Interview. Well, as soon as the truth came out, such a big project was stopped without EIA and flood assessment. Ok, stop, or we will be fooled by the developers as soon as our brains are hot!

Yes, good stop! Wang Ershui left by this ancestor can't stand such a toss! The village head leaned over and touched the village head's cup.

Where are the nine soldiers? Why haven't you seen it? Asked the housekeeper.

He made such a loud noise that he was scared to hide in his relatives' house in the dry land! The village chief told the truth.

Quick, go and call him, shouted the township head, waving his arm. You said that the birds quacking in his reed field and the birds flew back. ...
