Chapter 32 Plugging
"Young Master Jiayi, Jiayi, the bottom of the boat has started to leak again."
"I'll go and have a look right now."
Jiayi was basking in the sun on the deck. When he heard this, he hurriedly ran towards the bottom cabin. Hearing this tone, he knew that this was not the first time that the water leaked.
Now it is the second day after Longthroat Stream, and it will take another day to get to the next city. There are docking places on both sides of the shore, but there is no place to repair the ship. Originally, it was still good when I defeated the water bandits that day. After filling the big hole on the ship, I thought there was no problem.
But unexpectedly, they were having noodles the day before. Everyone thought it was the best thing they had eaten in their life. They also discussed that these water bandits were really poor, and there was no valuable thing at all. The tension of the war at that time was left with only aftertaste, which added a topic of conversation for themselves when they bragged in the tavern. When they set sail the next day, someone found that a thin layer of water had accumulated at the bottom of the bilge and the ship was leaking.
Although the big hole was not on the waterline, the cracks at the entrance of the hole still had a bad effect on the waterline. In addition, Jiayi lost the shock wave on the other party's boat. The cracks expanded again, causing cracks to appear between the boat boards. Although it was repaired at that time, after being soaked in water for a night, the gap did not become smaller, but was squeezed open and began to leak again.
This is not the most troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that after a water bandit fell into the river that night, they did not escape immediately. Instead, they dived to the bottom of the ship to dig a hole in the bottom of the ship. However, their ship was moving and they did not succeed. However, the bottom of the ship was indeed chiseled, but it was not chiseled. The area where the chiseled became weak and slowly began to leak.
The repair of the ship was not simple, and the crew could only make it simple. For safety reasons, Jiayi also used magic to repair the leaking places on the ship. From the morning to now, Jiayi had already gotten off the bottom of the ship for repair several times, and his body was a little wet, so he came to the deck to bask in the sun, but unexpectedly, the bottom of the ship began to leak again.
When Jiayi arrived at the bottom of the ship, he saw a leaking crack, like a small water gun, and the water flowed into the cabin, but the water line of the ship was not deep, so the water pressure was not high and the water flow was not particularly urgent.
The crew did not have a good solution for such small cracks, because simply nailing wooden boards is ineffective. If the boards and the boat boards are not fit tightly enough, the water will still leak in. You must use fine hemp fibers to mix mortar to fill the gaps to block the leakage. However, if time goes by, the mortar will be washed away by water and continue to leak.
In the past, if you encounter this situation, you can only do whatever you want to repair it first. After dyeing, people will stare at the leaking place to avoid accidents. Then go to the dock to repair it, and wait until the repaired place stabilizes before going into the water.
But now with Jiayi, there are better choices.
When he arrived at the leak, Jiayi first used magic to clean up the burrs in the gap and the original mortar debris, etc. Now, the leak became larger, and the water flow suddenly surged out, almost shooting Jiayi's face. Although these debris and burrs seemed to fill the gap between the shipboard and make the leak smaller, they were actually harmful and unhealthy.
Just like the tartar in a person's mouth, the tartar will press on the gums and cause oral problems. The debris in the gaps in the boat boards become loosened with the cracks between the boat boards, becoming a weak place.
Seeing the water gushing out, Jia quickly controlled the water flow outside to form a piece of fast ice, which was stuck outside the crack and blocked the water flow. Isn't it better to clean it up? But Jia Yi has never done this before, and it seems to be a little enjoying the feeling of avoiding the color, full of fun.
Although he has been a human being for two lives, Jiayi's life has always been very calm, so he has always retained a childlike heart, which is childish in plain language. Moreover, there is no entertainment here, so he really needs to have some fun on his own, just like Guan Gu Shenqi is trying to make instant noodles and oranges.
After processing the gap, Jiayi took out a piece of wooden board, cut out a piece of wood chip of the same size with the wind blade according to the size of the gap, then took out a piece of fish skin, turned the fish skin into fish glue, applied it on the wood chip, and stuffed it into the gap. Finally, he used magic to denaturate the fish glue and instantly glued the wooden board. Next, he also applied glue and bonded the front and back parts of the gap to make the glue repair more reliable.
Seeing that Jiayi had finished repairing, the captain who was looking at the same time said, "Master Jiayi, thanks to you, otherwise it would be troublesome."
Jiayi stood up and smiled: "Your ship will not leak without me. I should thank you for thanking you."
The captain waved his hand and said, "How is Fatty and you learning how to make noodles? Have you learned it?"
"It should be almost done. He said he would make fish noodle soup for dinner today, and he didn't know what happened."
Pangdi is the chef of this ship. In fact, he is not very fat, but his figure looks bloated compared to others. Pangdi and Jiayi said when chatting with him that he was not so fat, but after becoming a chef, people began to teach him Pangdi. It seems that in people's impression, the chef should be fat. Gradually, he really became fat, and the title of Pangdi was confirmed.
However, Jiayi believes that this is because the food he cooks is too unpalatable, so no one can eat it, so he can only eat it himself, and then he gradually becomes fat, and the chef is reluctant to waste the food he makes. Because Jiayi feels that Pangdi really lacks the talent as a chef, and even if he teaches him himself, he will never learn it.
After a whole day, he always couldn't fry the fish well. He often fryed the fish or burned the arrow. He wanted to make noodles tonight, but he didn't know what it was. If the fish was not fried well, the fish soup would not be that delicious and the fish soup noodles would not work.
The captain said, "Let's go and have a look. If you don't do it well, you can still remedy it. Your side is a bit too complicated, and I'm always not relieved about Fat Di."
"Okay, go and see how Pangdi is doing."
After arriving at the kitchen, Pangdi had not started frying fish and was kneading the noodles. But it seemed that the noodles were a little bit too much, and the basin was almost full, and it was a little bit unblocked.
"Why do you put so many noodles? If you don't open it like this, you will have bumps inside, so the noodles you make will not taste delicious."
"Well, I put the noodles as you said, and then add water. The water is a little too much. You said that if there is too much water, you can add some noodles. After adding it, it is a little dry. Then add some water. After adding it, it is a little too much, and then add the noodles. In this way, there is too much noodles without realizing it." Pang Di said while kneading the noodles hard.
Jiayi had black thread on his head, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He quickly stepped forward a few steps and came to Pang Di's side: "You can just get the dough up. It looks a bit dry, but keep kneading it and kneading it. Take a basin and divide it into half and knead it, so you can't knead it at all."
"Pangdi, you are not a chef. Why did I remember to let you be a chef at that time? You have to think about it. Brothers have eaten Jiayi's fish noodle soup. If you are too far behind Jiayi's, everyone will not let you go easily."
"This, this is just a small problem. It will be fine in two days. There has not been a reply to the battle the night before yesterday. It will be fine in two days."
"Is there you?"
"I lost several salted fish for them, why didn't I go away? And I even used the pot cover to block an arrow. The pot cover was broken and I almost shot me."
"Knead the dough well. The fish has not been fried yet. If the fish is not fried well, it is actually OK to change the bones. Just blanch the surface of the bones, which is easier." Jia Yi said a few words and thought that bone soup is really a good idea, and bone soup can be kept burning and simmering.
However, fish can be fished on the boat, but bones cannot always go ashore to hunt, so it is difficult to obtain materials.
