Golden Fishery

  To tell the truth, Qin Shiou had seen a boat lantern, but didn’t know it was exiled on Christmas Eve, so he asked Shaq.

  Shaq said that fishing at sea was a high-risk job before, and many people couldn’t come back after they went to sea. In this way, every Christmas Eve, the fishermen bring their families to set off the boat lights, one is to pray for safety, and the other is to use as a guide light. If they die in the deep sea in the future, their souls will come back under the guidance of this boat light.

  Later, with the advancement of science and technology, as rescue work became timely, this tradition has disappeared in many places. In fact, Farewell Island has not carried out the boat lights on Christmas Eve for several years.

   "Let me just say it, didn't you do it last year? Why did you suddenly think of doing this this year?" Qin Shiou said, playing with a polished shell.

Shaq said: "I don't know too well. It was the activity initiated by Mayor Winnie. It seems to be in conjunction with the filming of the film. The film directed by Cameron has a related plot. Didn't we encounter the hurricane not long after Christmas? What I have learned is that the movie has an opening story, that is, we set the boat lights to pray for all success, so as to pave the way for a shipwreck in the future."

Qin Shiou suddenly realized that the crew came to bid farewell to the town. In fact, the movie stars looked glamorous and suffered a lot when they were actually making a movie. It was Christmas right away, and they couldn't go home for the holidays. They needed to come to the farewell island for the second phase. Shoot.

Setting off boat lights is a traditional activity, and Qin Shiou also participated in the production. It should be very interesting to go to the activity together.

  Many people are powerful, and a lot of shells are quickly made into small boat lights.

  The fishermen are responsible for polishing the shells with hand grinders, while the teenagers stick candles on them, with a clear division of labor. Work fast.

  Shake asked Qin Shiou to bring the teenagers to stick the candles. Qin Shiou disdainfully said, "I'll polish the shells."

The working bull said: "BOSS, don't look at this thing as simple. In fact, it is skillful. The shells are not well balanced and easy to sink into water when they are put in the water. Therefore, you must polish from the outside to the inside. The more you go inside. The lighter the sanding, so that the bottom of the boat is sinking enough to prevent it from tipping over easily."

  Speaking, the bull showed him one. After polishing, the shell really looked like a small boat, with the edges as thin as cicada wings. Qin Shiou looked at the sun. Then I can't see anything—please, the bull is just a fisherman, not Luban.

  Qin Shiou polished one himself. The hand grinder couldn't control the strength, and one accident would cause the shells to break. He tried several times and destroyed four shells. The fifth was polished successfully.

  As a result, when the big shell just floated on the surface of the sea, Qin Shiou didn't wait to be happy, and disappeared when a wave came over.

   "Fak!" Daguan Qin scolded bitterly, picked up a shell and continued to do it silently.

  Shaq persuaded: "Boss, you can stick candles, isn't it much simpler?"

  Qin Shiou insisted: "No, I have to learn it. I can't just run away because of its difficulties. Right?"

  Since he has shown such determination. The fishermen can't say anything, so they can only let him polish it by himself. Anyway, some of the big shells picked up by the fishing grounds are.

  The hard work paid off, and Qin Shiou fumbled for half an hour on his own. It is finally handy to make, and it only takes two minutes to polish a shell. Can be polished out.

  Glued a candle to the shell, Qin Shiou put it into the ocean confidently, and as a result, another wave came, and the shell still couldn't escape the fate of throwing on the street!

   "After doing a father Jesus, I still don't believe in evil." Qin Daguan was angry, gritted his teeth and went to study with great concentration.

   But no matter how he polished it, even if the shells polished at the end are perfect, they still can’t avoid wind and waves.

  So he had to admit defeat and told the Shaqs that he couldn't make a shell boat light: "I don't know what went wrong. This shell can't avoid the waves coming, so forget it."

The fishermen looked at him in amazement, and Shaq asked, "You're kidding, this is a shell, and it's not a real boat. How can it be comparable to the waves? As long as the waves are higher than the shells, we polished the shell boat. The lights can't stand the beating of the waves either."

   "Yes, our boat lights are used in Shenbao Lake. How can there be such a big wave in the lake." The sea monster said naturally.

  Qin Shiou: "..."

  In addition to the shell boat lights, Shaq also made some special conch boat lights.

  The fishermen select fist-sized conch, and then carry out detailed polishing treatment, so that the conch can float horizontally on the water like a boat. Finally, fill the conch shell with wax oil, insert the wick, and ignite after solidification, which can brighten for a long time.

  Qin Shiou couldn't learn this. This really requires experience and skills. Among the fishermen, only veterans such as Shaq, sea monsters, smoke guns, and Zach can do it well, and no one else can do it.

  After experimenting several times, he found that the shell he was handling floated, not even able to maintain balance on the surface of the water, so he gave up struggling, and this time he had to surrender.

  Heidao and his entourage stayed in the fishing ground for so long. Qin Shiou gave them a vacation in the last week. A total of ten days of paid vacation allowed them to spend time with their families at home until the beginning of the new year.

  The fishery prepared a lot of gift boxes, all of which were dried seafood, such as dried bonito and lobster meat. Qin Shiou asked them to bring back as many as the soldiers could get.

There are now a large number of people in the fishing grounds, and there are 15 retired PLA soldiers. Although they may not have participated in actual combat like the Black Knife and others, they have undergone rigorous training after all. They have records and are vigilant. The soldiers are not in them. Can be responsible for security on duty.

  On the evening of December 23, the annual Christmas Eve comes.

  Qin Shiou drove, Wei Ni was holding a small melon, and the family took the teenagers to the banks of Shenbao Lake happily. Some residents and tourists had already lit the boat lights there.

  Night comes, and the blossoming lights flicker in the dark. The sea breeze is not strong tonight, so it is suitable to set the boat lights in the lake.

  "God bless you." Auerbach crossed his chest. "Ten times on Christmas Eve, at most two times are such good weather. It seems that God has a better temper this year."

Countless lights are beating in the breeze, flashing and flashing to make the dark winter night not so gloomy, especially those boat lights that have been placed in the lake. The candle fire on them and the lake surface are interesting and beautiful. .

  Qin Shiou put down the pumpkin boat. A small boat can take two people. The teenagers ride separately, row the boat to the middle of the lake, then light the shell boat lights and place them carefully on the lake.

  Now on Shenbao Lake, large areas of water are flickering, and boat lights float up and down with the slight waves. The fire light not only illuminates the night, but also reflects in the water, but also diminishes the light from the floating waves. (To be continued~^~)
