Chapter 937 Carpenter Lu

Chapter 937 Carpenter Lu

There are many households in the village, and there is no extra yard to rent.

It was getting late now, Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha had to find a family to stay overnight before making plans.

"Sister Yunduo, walk along this path, and at the end is Carpenter Lu's house."

Ermao showed the couple the way. Carpenter Lu was not from the village. He moved here a few years ago and set up a fishing village to settle here.

On weekdays, he has almost no contact with the villagers, but when a villager comes to ask for a wooden basin and other small items, Carpenter Lu will make it right away, and he gets along harmoniously with the villagers.

The small fishing village is sparsely populated, and there are many black reefs by the sea. Walking on a small road mixed with sand and soil, there is no hustle and bustle of the market. Listening to the sound of the waves, Lin Yuesha's heart is extremely peaceful.

The two walked for a quarter of an hour according to Er Mao's guidance, and finally came to the door of Carpenter Lu's house.

Just as Qi Heng was about to call for the door, the iron door creaked open.

A tall man in his early thirties came out, met Qi Heng face to face, and asked suspiciously, "Are you..."

"Brother Lu, my husband and I are planning to start a business in the fishing village. I heard that your house is vacant. I wonder if we can rent one?"

Carpenter Lu had square eyebrows and an upright attitude, but he didn't seem very used to dealing with people, Qi Heng decided to take a step back, and said, "If it's inconvenient, it's okay to stay overnight."

Some people like to be alone because of their personality, so there are two more people for no reason, which will disturb their tranquility.

Carpenter Lu frowned, he was not used to getting along with people.If you only stay for one night, it is acceptable.

"We don't live in vain."

Lin Yuesha hurriedly explained, not wanting to be misunderstood as someone who took advantage.

"There is no need for money."

Carpenter Lu opened the iron door, "Come in, both of you."

The threshold was too high, Qi Heng took off the frame behind the horse, and then led the horse into the courtyard.

People who live by the sea can enclose land at will, and in the front yard of Carpenter Lu's house, a reservoir is set up in the yard.

"The door to the farthest room is not locked. You can rest there tonight. I'll go out and get some water and wine."

Carpenter Lu made a casual gesture, but was stopped by Qi Heng, "Brother Lu, it is fate to meet each other. I brought a lot of things this trip. How about we have a drink tonight?"

Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha not only prepared water and wine, but also meat.

Qi Heng was very enthusiastic about Carpenter Lu, and Lin Yuesha realized it, and echoed, "I'll cook tonight and make a few side dishes to go with the wine."

Just after entering the door, Lin Yuesha saw that there were several models of ships in the reservoir, which were made lifelike and placed in the reservoir, not like decorations.

The carpenter Lu mentioned by the villagers should be a boat builder, a very accomplished person.

Qi Heng cherishes talents, and when he gets close to a person, it is obvious that he has some kind of plan.

"Then trouble your siblings."

Carpenter Lu is not at ease. He lives alone, and the kitchen is full of miscellaneous things that have not been tidied up.

"I come."

Lin Yuesha took the initiative to take over the work and was on the road for a few days. She also wanted to have some improvement.

Cut the bought pork belly into large pieces and blanch them in water, add star anise and ginger to make braised pork, make fried peanuts as a dish for dinner, and the rest of the oysters bought from Ermao, steamed, steamed, stir-fried, and finally Add a scrambled egg with fungus to make a big table.

By the time Lin Yuesha finished cooking, it was already completely dark.

Qi Heng and Lu Carpenter are familiar with each other, and they have a very happy chat.

"Brother Qi, unexpectedly you are also an expert."

Carpenter Lu was very excited, and unconsciously began to talk more.When he was a teenager, he worshiped his master to repair ships. The master saw that he was talented, and slowly taught him some skills.

He has been building a boat for nearly ten years, but he found that the stability of the hull is not enough, so it is easy to capsize when encountering strong winds and waves at sea.

"I often wonder what the other side of the sea looks like."

In the early years, Daqi once opened up maritime trade, and people from distant countries have been here.

However, it is good to see a ship all year round. Too many people with the heart of getting rich have died at the bottom of the sea, and have never been heard from since.

Ever since Carpenter Lu's mother disappeared, his father and elder brother were even more unfettered. They boarded the boat with the unscrupulous merchant and never came back.

They left the small fishing village and walked for five or six years, so Carpenter Lu moved here to wait.

Every year, some people took a chance and left with a batch of goods, but Carpenter Lu did not wait for the news of those people coming back.

"Overseas trade is a piece of fat, and ambitious people want a piece of it."

Qi Heng has a broad vision and a long-term perspective.

Sooner or later, Daqi will reopen maritime trade, and the silver earned will be used to fill the treasury.

Only in this way can the people be richer by reducing taxes.

Without knowing what's out there, without comparison, there will never be progress.

Like shipbuilding, since you have this idea, like Carpenter Lu, if you persist in not giving up, it will come true sooner or later.

"Brother Qi, are you serious?"

Carpenter Lu held Qi Heng's hand, trembling.

For so many years, he hid in a small fishing village. In order to modify the blueprints, he stayed behind closed doors, and was called a weirdo by the villagers.

He has a lot of ideas, but can't find anyone to talk to.

His peers thought that his move was whimsical and too risky. After all, the situation on the sea changed suddenly, and it was difficult to change it by relying on sailors to row the boat.

After finding a bosom friend, Carpenter Lu had already forgotten about eating, and Qi Heng talked about the wooden sailboat he made.

Due to limited conditions, he had no money to build a big boat, so he could only reduce the scale and put the small wooden sailboat in the reservoir. The occasional windy day was when he did the test.

After several years of research, Carpenter Lu has a bottleneck, which is the reason why he often drinks alcohol recently and is very distressed.

He needs money to build a big ship and test it in the sea.

Only in this way, under constant adjustment, the desired effect can be achieved.

He mentioned to acquaintances that everyone thought he was a lunatic who cheated money, and no one was willing to invest.

The initial cost is huge, and it may take ten or eight years to develop a smooth sailing wooden sailboat.

If it fails, the money invested will be wasted.

Carpenter Lu was hit and felt extremely depressed, and the savings he had saved in the early years had long since been used up. On weekdays, he relied on fishing and helping the villagers earn their living.

"Brother Lu, I am willing to support you with money."

Qi Heng was sure, after reading Carpenter Lu's drawings, he thought his design was very reasonable.Hard sail structure with stays on the surface of the sail. Although this kind of sail is heavy and laborious to raise, it can use the wind to increase the speed of the ship, and the mast does not have a fixed beam, which can adapt to sudden changes in the sea. It can be adjusted flexibly. It can be used in many ways.

There is no problem in the conception. Lu Carpenter has conducted many experiments, and the finished product is just short of launching a big boat.

"Brother Qi, are you kidding me?"

Carpenter Lu couldn't believe it. Building a boat is not a small sum, especially his design, compared with ordinary fishing boats, the cost will increase several times invisibly.
