Chapter 70: Night sail and fishing net

Views:

Claude came home first after school on Saturday afternoon, changed into light clothes, and after thinking about it, he brought a set of underwear and underwear and stuffed them into his backpack. After spending a night and a day on the boat, no one could tell whether he would go into the water. , bring a change of clothes to be prepared. Then he put his matchlock gun on his back and checked what he wanted to bring again before going downstairs to go to the dock.

Downstairs, Claude was pestered by his younger brother Booker again, and even the snow dog came over to join in the fun. After playing with Fatty and the dog for a long time, Claude finally got away. After saying hello to his mother, he called a carriage and left.

But after arriving at the dock, Claude was a little dumbfounded: "No, Erikson, the boat is so full, do we still have room to stay?"

Erikson was quite convinced, and the old god replied: "No, I just brought two blocks and one fence. Even though it is piled so high now, when I get to the place and throw it down, the boat will be empty. There is plenty of room for us to toss around.”

Claude shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What you said is very simple. These are the barriers and fences used by your father's Red Sea Shark ocean fishing boat at sea. These grids are too big for use in the lake. As shown above We were lucky to get that big black tiger fish like that the first time. You can’t still think about catching another one, right? It’s impossible.”

"It's not the sea stop used by my father. Don't worry, I won't make that mistake." Ericson said with a smile: "It's from Mrs. Welin's house next door. They are all new. They lent them to me for free to try out, so I just took so much.”

Claude understood that Mrs. Verin's house next to the Erikson family's private dock was a workshop specializing in fishing and repairing fish. Erikson had become a familiar face among the group of darning and fishing aunts some time ago. The fishermen in Bailu Town have a custom. After the new fishing net is finished, it is thrown into the lake and soaked for three days. One is to test its firmness, and the other is to get a fishy smell in the lake, so that it will not be rounded up. to alert the fish in the water

So Erikson was going to go fishing at night on the lake, so Mrs. Welin asked him to take a new fishing belt and try it out. If a new one is put into the water for trial use and there is a catch, then the new one will be more favored by the fishermen. There will be no worries about not being able to sell it, and the price can even be raised.

"Then where should I go?" Claude looked at the fishing boat.

The hull of the fishing boat was already full of fish, leaving only the bow and stern a little empty. There is only enough space for one person to sit in the bow, and the stern is where the helm is. It would be impossible if everyone was crowded in the stern.

"Just wait a minute. I'll ask Boa to find Uncle Peg and ask him to bring an oilcloth from the warehouse. Then he will spread it on the fish and you can sit on the oilcloth." Erikson said.

It's not that people can't step on the fish, but it's easy for people to fall into the fish's grid when walking on it. It's easy to mix up the neatly stacked fish, and it will be very troublesome to break them apart. Second, the materials used in these fish are not the acrylic and nylon used in the time traveler's previous life. Trampling on them can easily cause wear and damage.

Erikson was quite thoughtful and laid a tarpaulin on top to avoid these troubles.

"Okay, I'll wait a moment." Claude said, "Boa is the only one, Vero hasn't come yet?"

"I should be here soon. His home is the farthest."

After waiting for a while, Bockar came over with a roll of oilcloth on his back. He was overjoyed to see Claude: "Come and help, I'm exhausted."

Claude first put the matchlock gun on the ground, then ran over to take it, and complained: "Why don't you ask Ike to go get it with you?"

Bokoal cursed: "This guy said he was exhausted from carrying those fishermen on board, and now they are stuck at the stern of the boat and it is inconvenient to come up."

"You are stupid." Claude took the oilcloth and put it on his shoulder: "How can he get on the boat with so many fishermen? Someone else obviously helped him. Do you really believe what he said?"

At this time, Viricero also came over. When Bockar saw him, he shouted to him: "Don't come over yet. Uncle Peg also has a bucket of red worm bait in his room. You can bring it over by the way."

Finally, the tarpaulin was laid out and everyone got on the boat. Verricro stuffed the wooden barrel containing red worm bait into the gap between the fishing line and the side of the boat. Then I sat on the oilcloth. Not to mention, there were fish piled under the oilcloth, so it was quite comfortable to sit on it.

"Let's set sail, it's almost dark." Boker unmoored the boat at the stern.
