Chapter 197 (2/2)
Carpentry work was always more laborious, especially handmade work, which was more difficult.
Throughout the morning, Ning Fei focused on measuring, sawing, polishing, occasionally taking a break, drinking tea, and playing with the little dog for a while, and then continued to work.
Making a boat was never an easy task.
If it were a canoe, it would be simpler. I would buy a thick piece of wood, hollow it out in the middle, and then decide on the shape. However, the limitation of a canoe was also quite big. It was not as spacious as a canoe made from parts, and it was not as comfortable
Canoes have appeared all over the world. They were used by human ancestors to hunt on water in primitive societies
“Chinese canoes can be traced back to the Neolithic age. In the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hu Jian, and Qiandongdong, the remains of canoes or oars have been unearthed
“These relics have a history of 5,000 to 9,000 years.”
Ning Fei slowly narrated the history of canoes.
In that era when technology was not yet developed, canoes were the first step for humans to conquer the waters.
In ancient times, when the two armies fought in the water, wooden warships lined up on the surface of the water and charged at each other. When the bow of the two armies collided, soldiers with knives jumped between the ships and hacked at each other. It was a very shocking scene.
At that time, China was really the highest point in the world, and no one could compare to its shipbuilding technology. The technology of wooden warships was so complicated that even with the eyes of modern people, they were still amazed by the wisdom of the ancients.
With the development of technology, the big ship made by the steel industry had replaced the wooden warship, but the craft of the small ship had been passed down.
Ning Fei had already made many long wooden planks, each of which he used the method of rough planing and fine planing to polish the surface of the saw.
It was rare to see such a serious craftsmanship.
When the wooden planks were finished, the sky was almost dark.
Ning Fei had spent some time in the afternoon eating a meal and had been immersed in his work on the wooden board.
During this time, teacher he, teacher Huang, and Zhang Xiaofeng all took time to come over. They didn’t disturb Ning Fei too much as he was focused on his work.
As for Peng Xiaochang, as the designated ‘Coolie’in the mushroom house, he still had a lot of things to do. He simply couldn’t find the time to come over.
After the wooden board was done, Ning Fei stood up, stretched his body, and stretched his muscles.
“Little Fox, come over.”
Ning Fei wanted to rest for a while, so he called out.
Little Fox was originally lying on the side. When it heard Ning Fei’s call, it immediately ran over.
Ning Fei sat on the ground and held little fox in his arms. As he stroked it, he tickled it. Little Fox cried happily.
This was also Ning Fei’s unique way of relaxing and relieving stress.
Everyone had different ways of relaxing.
Some people loved to smoke. After doing something, they liked to smoke. This was the only way to feel comfortable.
Some people loved to pet cats. They liked to go to places like cat cafes.
Some people loved to play games, especially when they had just finished their monthly, midterm, and final exams. Their minds only wanted to play games for a day.
At this time, Xiao Fei happened to fly to the wall of the courtyard. When Ning Fei saw it, he called out,
“Xiao Fei, come here.”
Xiao Fei immediately flew down obediently.
Ning Fei held it in his hand. Now, Xiao Fei’s yellow feathers had faded, and the feathers on its body were white. Compared to other roosters, its biggest characteristic was that its gaze was sharper, and it did not look so stupid.
Xiao Fei could now fly to roofs and walls on the same spot. It was still far from soaring into the sky.
However, compared to its kind, it was already outstanding enough.
Taoist priests and roosters were also considered a standard match. However, in novels about subduing demons and eliminating demons, Rooster Blood was a spiritual thing that could make demons manifest, so Taoist priests often used it.
“Its wings are bigger than ordinary roosters. It looks like there’s hope when it flies.”
Ning Fei looked carefully at Little Fei’s condition and muttered.
After stroking the fox for a while and stroking the rooster for a while, Ning Fei felt that he had rested enough, so he got up and continued to work.
Looking at the sky, there was still some time. Ning Fei said to the netizens in the live broadcast room,
“The wooden boards are all done. The next step is to assemble the boards.”
“When I was making the materials just now, I had already left the nail holes in advance. The next step is to nail the wooden boards together and assemble them into the ship’s side, the bottom of the ship, and the bulkhead.”
As Ning Fei explained, he used a heavy hammer and a nail to hit the boards.
He piled two pairs of bricks on the ground, then placed a large wooden board on top of the board and assembled the boards.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Ning Fei used a hammer to hit the nails. A clear sound came from Qingfeng Temple and drifted into the depths of the mountain.
The drone zoomed in at the right time and zoomed out to a very far distance.
In the live broadcast interface, the netizens were able to see the entire view of Qingfeng Temple.
Ning Fei was bending the wood outside the courtyard wall. Little Fox was lying not far away from him. The Little Falcon would occasionally fly up and occasionally land on the wall to guard Ning Fei. The Little Dog and Little Fei were playing and playing in the courtyard.
Occasionally, a breeze would blow over and the leaves would rustle. A few falling leaves would circle around Ning Fei and float away into the distance.
The Breeze Temple was still the same. It was quiet and beautiful.
