Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 50—Eriksson's Small Fishing Dream

"No, you wait," Borkal stopped Eriksson: "What do you want, Eyke? What do you buy this seabreaker? The following broke a big hole, the bottom plate is cracked, you just want to buy it back and repair it has to replace the entire ship board, this broken ship can also be used under this girders. ”

Eriksson nodded. "I just saw this gird."

After talking to Wakri, I raised two fingers: "I have two silver thales. If you don't think it's appropriate, then I didn't say it, Uncle Wakri."

Wakri smiled bitterly: "Add some more, you can't make me lose too much…"

"I have no money."Eriksson shook his head: "Uncle Wakri, the two silver thales are my greatest sincerity. If you don't want to sell, you can only tell the truth. I only need this bottom beam. The value of this sea shovel has not been repaired. If you dismantle the wood, you will sell two or three silver thales. If you subtract the labor fee, you may not have sold it to me…"

In Whitestag town, shipbreaking is indeed a technical activity. Generally, a master brings three or two apprentices. Their job is shipbuilding and ship repairing. The ship is part-time. But only they can remove the ship boards and wooden beams that can be used continuously from those broken ships. If a person who only knows how to work is going to dismantle the ship, maybe the ship board that was removed will not be useful, and at most it can only be broken up as firewood.

Of course, the bigger the ship is, the more cost-effective the ship is. Like this broken sea, it is a boat, and it is useful for the bottom of the beam. If you don't ask the shipbreaker, Wakri is worried that he will break the bottom beam into scrap. I can ask the ship-breaking master, and the price is too expensive and uneconomical. As Eriksson said, the things that were removed are not as good as the cost of the ship-breaking master…

"Uncle Wakri, I think you are still selling it. Otherwise, this broken sea is placed in front of your store. Everyone will know that you have bought a loss when you look at it. It will be yours." Reputation has a big impact. You can take in such a broken sea quilt, and it is worth considering whether the quality of the goods in your store will be problematic…"Claude is assisting by God.

Perhaps this is also Wakri's worry. His face changed for a while, and finally waved his hand in frustration: "Forget it, just two silver thales, but you have to take this broken sea and pull it away."

"Well, I will ask people to come and pull in the afternoon."Eriksson was very happy to find two silver thales and handed them to Wakri: "I have to go back to school now, so I have to come back and pull this sea rafter later. If someone asks, it is said that I bought it, and I will put it in front of you for the time being. ”

It seems that Wakri thinks the same way. He nodded at Eriksson and took two silver thales and turned back to the store.

Four people went to school.

"Eyke, now you can say, why are you buying this sea raft?"Borkal is the most amazing one.

"You think about the wave that my dock is resting on."Eriksson is still making a fool of himself.

The wave is also a small fishing boat common to Freia Continent, but this small fishing boat is basically used for fishing in the sea with ocean fishing boats. The hull is nearly seven meters long and no more than two meters wide. There are movable masts and small sails on the ship, equipped with a 10-person working group. Most of the six paddlers are a helmsman, a sailor and a puller, and the commander is responsible for a sailor.

When the ocean fishing boat found the fish in the sea, it was put down in the waves, and the fish nets on the big ship were used to carry out the squad and rounding of the fish. Generally speaking, an ocean-going fishing vessel will be equipped with two waves, and sometimes two waves will be used to carry out round-up operations on the surface of the sea, and then the ship will be netted. Of course, for ocean-going fishing boats, the wave wear also takes into account the role of lifeboats and landing ships.

On the private dock of Eriksson's house, there was a wave of wear, but this wave was bad. It is said that once in the sea, this wave was worn on an island to find water. Because the wind and waves were too big and accidentally hit the rock wall on the shore, although the people were fine, the girders at the bottom of the ship were cracked and cracked, so this When the waves are worn, they are scrapped. The cracking of the bottom beam is fatal to any sea boat. No one knows when the ship will continue to break into two at sea.

Therefore, it is good to look at this wave from the outside, but you can turn it over to understand that the bottom beam is already pregnant. Just like the broken sea shovel that Eriksson just bought, it is better to repair the new hull than to build a new ship.

"Do you want to change the bottom beam of this sea raft to the wave?"Borkal understood, but he immediately frowned. "No, the bottom beam of this sea raft is only five meters long. The bottom beam worn in the waves is too short…"

Eriksson shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to repair the sea or wear it. I want to use the two to merge and rebuild a small fishing boat like the old Sunny."

The small fishing boat like the old Sunny last time was rented by four people to the fishing boat in Egret, and it took two and a half days to get the rent of Sanriasso.

"In fact, you have not noticed that this sea raft is good except for the bottom beam. I just need to remove all the ship plates, use the bottom beam and the ship's side frame, and then use the good ship board worn by the pier on my dock to completely rebuild a small fishing boat. ”Eriksson is very confident at this moment.

"Of course, there will be a steering wheel, a movable mast, and a three-cabin cabin on the hull. There will be decking boards on it, etc., but these materials and utensils are spared in the dock warehouse of my house and replaced from the ship. The old goods, a little modified under the size, you do not need to spend money to buy. The only thing to consider is labor, which costs a bit.

You certainly don't know that Uncle Peg, who is guarding the dock, was a ship repairer on board when he was young. Later, when the ship encountered a storm and repaired his leg, he injured his leg and it was retired from the ship. I believe that his craft is still there, because he once told my father that it is necessary to get a new bottom beam to let him repair the wave, even if it is free to repair, mainly to see such a ship resting on the dock. He is not feeling well.

It was only then that my father had bought a new wave to wear, and that repair was also placed on the dock, so he did not agree to his request. I will take this school out of the afternoon and drag it back to ensure that Uncle Peg will be very happy. Then I talked to him about my request, and usually hit him, so long after, I can have my own small fishing boat. ”

"Does your father know that you will blame you?"Asked Borkal.

Eriksson thought about it and said, "It shouldn't. If I go back to him at night and ask him to buy me a arquebus gun like you, my father will probably not pay attention to my request." But I said that I have to build a small fishing boat myself, then my father will definitely promise. Just right, I can ask him to give me a manual repair fee. ”

Claude thought about it and laughed. With Eriksson's father, Captain Altroni, who loves to show off, Eriksson said that he would definitely support a small fishing boat. Because of this success, he can show his son's ability in the town. . Imagine that the captains in the town could have their own small fishing boat at the age of sixteen, but his son did it, which was enough for him to brag about it for a while.

Going back to the school, the bag in the hand is placed in the drawer of the desk, and then I am going to go to the first class of the afternoon physical education, sword training.

The swordsmanship class teaches students the basic skills of mastering three swords, the sword, the two-handed sword and the short sword. From the classification of the sword, the stabbing sword is the most common carry-on sword. It is similar to the transmigrator's previous Western thorn sword. It is light and uses stab as the main killing method. The two-handed sword is very similar to the Chinese Longquan sword. The length and width of the blade are similar, but the grip is not the same. It is more than one foot long and can be grasped by both hands. It is the most powerful. The shortsword is a weapon of hand-to-hand combat and a self-defense weapon that every soldier in the Kingdom Army must equip.

Generally speaking, the liberal arts students in the school and the girls who enrolled in the sword training class basically learn the swordsmanship. This is mainly because they are not as strong as the physical students in physical fitness. The light and sharp swords become their favorite. .

Physical education students should look at hobbies, and those who are interested in having time can learn three kinds of swords. However, after the school's sword training class has mastered the basic skills of the three swords, the later sword training class is to let the students train the basic movements familiar with the sword. The sword training is only occasionally pointing at the side, or the competition between the students. And game supervision.

Claude prefers two-handed swords. He is also the first in the two-year two-handed sword competition in the country. The most powerful of the four partners was Welikro, but he did not choose a two-handed sword, but chose the short sword like Eriksson. The reason is very simple. Eriksson is taught by his father. It is the most dexterous and appropriate to use a short sword on the boat. The two-handed sword is not easy to play in the narrow cabin and aisle, but it will be easily entangled by the rope fishing net…

Welikro is out of habit, his father has been a guard for fifteen years, and he is familiar with the short-swords trained by soldiers. After having a son, I only taught short-swords, and as a hunter, short swords and short knives, or axe, these short weapons are more practical in the mountains. So Welikro is not interested in the sword and the two-handed sword. He is a short-sword in school.

Only Borkal has no special skills, he will be the three kinds of swordsmanship, but he is not good for the three kinds of swordsmanship. Claude is the first two-handed sword, Welikro is the first short sword, and Eriksson is not the first, but also the top three in the shortsword competition. But Borkal is a candidate who is dragged behind in the three swordsmanship competitions. Three or four liberal arts students are worse than him.

After completing the sword training class, there are two more lessons in the afternoon for the horsemanship training class. But Claude is not ready to go. Eriksson is going back to find a few sailors to drag the broken sea raft from the front of Wakri's shop to their private jetty. The two are not too far apart. The hole under the sea shovel is loosely nailed and blocked, and then it is not too much effort to pull the cable along the shore along the shore, so Eriksson is not ready to find Claude III. People help.

Welikro wants to go home with Borkal to get a arquebus. By the way, he moves two targets from the warehouse of their house, then drives the carriage to pick up Claude, and then the three go to the woods outside the town to practice the shooting of the arquebus.

Claude came home, dragged the wooden box with the arquebus out of the bed, opened it, took out the arquebus, and took out the matching fire rope. This stuff was used up and bought, and then took out three horns of similar size. .

This horn is also an accessory for arquebus, used to hold gunpowder. The horns are pointed at the top and wide, and both ends are covered with a copper cover. The big head is used to pour the gunpowder into the horn. The pointed small head is medicinal in the barrel. The inside of the horn is polished. The inner wall is also painted with ten scales. Each scale indicates the gunpowder that is fired once. Component. A plate of horns is just a unit of gunpowder.

Three discs of horns are just three units of gunpowder, and can be fired for 30 times. There are two small copper rings on the horns that can be strapped to the body. Claude remembers that the last time I went to Egret, Welikro seemed to be hanging two black horns, which was also medicinal.

There is also a big purse bag in the wooden case. The top of the bag is a slip knot. This is for the gun. It can be hung on the belt and it is easy to reach into the bag and take the gun.

Claude also put 30 guns in the leather bag. I thought, I will do 30 shooting exercises in the afternoon. Welikro said that after the firearms are fired, the sitting force is a bit big. For the first time, it is best not to play too much, otherwise the shoulders at night. It will be very painful…
