On the whole, the people on the island are simple and loyal, which is very in line with the essence of the Chinese people, the old guy is not counted, almost all the young descendants on the island are very simple, there is no crooked eyes, although the first two days are still a little repulsive to Xiaotian and other newcomers, but under the deliberate friendship of Xiaotian, Liu Tong and others, these descendants quickly eliminated the estrangement with them, which made Yu Xiaotian quite lucky, and secretly glad that he did not abandon Liu Laoliu to escape by jumping into the sea, otherwise, Now he really didn't know what the situation would be.

It's just that Yu Xiaotian is a little unaccustomed to the eating habits here, on this island, the daily diet of people is not much better than when they were on the boat, or even a little worse, and later generations have long been accustomed to three meals a day, but on the island, probably because of the lack of food and materials, the people on the island still pursue two meals a day, breakfast is very late in the morning, and they do not eat at noon, and the islanders have to work until they return to the village in the evening, and they will not eat a dinner.

This kind of eating habit makes Yu Xiaotian quite unhappy, and he always feels that it is difficult to maintain enough physical strength, although he has the heart to propose to change it to three meals a day, but because he has said it here for the time being, he can only endure it for the time being.

In addition, don't look at the islanders, although they are mainly engaged in fishing, but they are not as Yu Xiaotian imagined, will live a little better than the people on land, eat more seafood, their limited catch is not for their own consumption, mainly to be sent to the land to sell for money, in exchange for other daily necessities, only will leave a very small catch or worthless catch to dry and pickle, as their supplementary food to improve their life, even so, These worthless salted dried fish are also taken out during the New Year's holidays to improve their lives, and the weekday meals are also extremely simple, basically based on brown rice and some sweet potatoes produced on the island.

Heavy load of exercise and labor, coupled with the fact that there is almost no oil and water in the meal, the only way for the islanders here to obtain nutrition is to consume protein through some brown rice, a small amount of sea vegetables or sweet potatoes, which also makes the people of this era eat a lot of food, and it is normal for the descendants to eat a pound of brown rice at a meal, and a larger amount of rice can not eat two pounds of brown rice a day.

And Yu Xiaotian is even more so, after getting used to the food here, his amount of food has also become amazing, almost three catties of brown rice every day to eat half full, from time to time in the middle of the night will be a little hungry, see Ma Yan and others shook their heads, feeling that it is really a little unbearable for him to eat like this, worried that the island's food will be quickly exhausted.

In order to keep his body healthy, he had no choice but to use the evening time to collect some crab shellfish and other seafood on the beach alone or with the descendants of the island to take advantage of the bedtime work, and boiled them directly in a pot.

For such a life, Yu Xiaotian can only be happy in bitterness.

But life on the island still lies in the fact that after Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu came here, the situation began to change, because they brought a boatload of goods to the people of the island, which were worth a lot of money, at least many times more than what they had caught in a few years of fishing, which made everyone on the island who had lived a hard life see a glimmer of hope for a better life in the future.

So the horse face and they are happy these days, while they are busy greeting Liu Lao Liu, Yu Xiaotian and they settle down, on the other hand, they also began to think about how to sell this cargo as soon as possible, quickly cash it into silver, and then the big guy divided the silver so that the descendants on the island Zhang Luo landed to marry a daughter-in-law.

For this matter, Yu Xiaotian didn't care, because now even this cargo is his, let him find a place to sell it, he doesn't have a doorway, he can't run to the land and shout along the street, if that's the case, his head is kicked by a donkey, so for how to sell this ship, he handed it over to Liu Laoliu and Ma Mian to be responsible, as for how they find a way to sell this ship, how much silver can be obtained, Yu Xiaotian doesn't care at all.

And he put all his energy on this boat that belonged to his name, although this boat is not big, but compared to the small fishing boat they own on the island, it is quite large, with their arrival, the attention of these young students on the island has also been attracted to this boat, so that even their main livelihood to go out to sea to fish has been put on hold.

So after Yu Xiaotian settled down on the island, he asked the people on the island to help, and began to carefully inspect the boat, after some inspection inside and out, Yu Xiaotian found that the boat was really not a broken ship, Liu Lao Liu did not lie to him, this ship has indeed been built for many years, that is, just three or four years, and the wood of the hull is mostly made of strong and durable good wood.

The whole ship has a total of eight compartments, the whole is the style of a standard Chinese sailing ship, each compartment is separated by a partition, which enhances the anti-sinking performance of the ship, and the watertight compartment is also a unique invention of the Chinese ancestors, so the ship made in this way, even if one or two cabins enter the water, it will not sink easily, so before the Ming Dynasty, and even before the Qing Dynasty, the wooden sailing ships built in China are basically used in this way, even if it is a modern ship, this compartment design is also adopted.

The two masts on the ship are made of a complete cedar wood, and there is no interface in the whole body, so the mast strength and toughness are relatively good, and it is very conducive to the lifting of hard sails, after inspection, these two masts are still very strong, there is no moth-eaten situation, only a crack appeared on the upper part of the foremast, so that Yu Xiaotian is a little uneasy, and wants to go back to replace this foremast, saving trouble when going to sea.

But after Liu Lao Liu heard about it, he shook his head after going to the boat to see this crack and said: "This crack is not a big deal, there is no need to replace it, not to mention that it takes a lot of manpower to replace this mast, and it has to be specially sent to the land ship dormitory to spend a lot of money to change. It's still sturdy! ”

So after a preliminary inspection, Yu Xiaotian concluded that this boat is still relatively strong and durable, but because of poor maintenance on weekdays, the bottom of the ship is full of a thick layer of marine life, and there are a lot of sea maggots in the wood of the lower part of the hull, which will be a big hidden danger for the solidity of the hull, and it needs to be solved as soon as possible!

In addition, the hull and cabin are very dirty, which is also the most dissatisfied thing for Yu Xiaotian with this ship, he will live on this ship for a long time in the future, and the rodents and mosquitoes and fleas on the ship will cause serious health hazards to the crew, which is unacceptable to him.

So Yu Xiaotian wanted to let these descendants on the island act as his crew, first carry out a large-scale cleaning and repair of the ship, and then think about what to do next.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's proposal, Ma Yan shook his head and said: "Brother Yu, it's not that these guys refuse to help you, although this ship is really good, it is not easy for you to renovate this boat!"

You have also seen that the manpower on our island is limited, and now the goods on the ship have not been sold, and the people on the island still have to live, and dozens of people want to eat with their mouths open, and if they all go to help you get the boat, it will become a problem for the people on our island to eat! You've been here for a few days, and our fishing guys have stopped for many days, and the grain on this island is about to bottom out, so I'm thinking about going out to sea to catch some fish and exchange some food to come back, so I can't spare many people to get that boat for you for the time being!

Besides, if you want to shovel the bottom of the ship, I'm afraid we can't do this work here, I see that you don't know how to get this kind of boat, you must know that if you want to shovel the bottom of the ship, the general owner will either send it to the ship's liao and pull the boat ashore to shovel the bottom of the ship, or hire someone to help, unload the ship's mast, get the boat ashore and buckle it upside down on the shore, and flatten the bottom of the ship.

I'm afraid we can't do it with the manpower on our island! Besides, it takes a lot of wood to repair a ship, and you have also seen our island, the mountains are full of small trees, and there is not enough wood to build a house, so where is it enough for you to repair the ship?

In my opinion, this ship repair matter should be put aside first! After we have given away the goods on the ship, we can pull out our hands to do this! Do you think so? ”

Ma Yan was very polite to Xiaotian, although he refused Yu Xiaotian's request, but he still agreed, as long as the ship was sold, he would help Yu Xiaotian and clean up the ship.

Yu Xiaotian was a little disappointed after hearing this, at least the Ma Yan gang didn't plan to help him at the moment, and the boat was nominally in his name, so the old guys were not very concerned about the renovation of the boat.

Liu Lao Liu also walked over with a limp at this time, after a few days of rest on the island, the wound on his buttocks has basically healed, and walking by himself is no longer a big problem, plus his children are filial piety at this time, his mood is really good, he is happy all day long, and the wrinkles on his old face seem to be deeper because he laughs too much.

"I said horse face! That's your fault! How many fish can you catch in that little fishing boat when you go out to sea! Look at this boat, originally the Liu family built it according to the style of the fishing boat in order to cover people's eyes and ears, and it is much stronger than your small broken boat, but this boat is used by the Liu family to run the sea, if we take care of this boat, it will be ten times stronger than you are now using this small broken boat to go fishing!

What's more, your little broken boat only needs four or five people to go to sea, and a dozen or so descendants on the island are idle, and those dozens of acres of fields don't need to be served! Wouldn't it be better to leave some people for Brother Yu to help repair the ship?

You said that there is no wood on this island, this is also easy to do, you can fool Brother Yu, but you can't fool me Liu Lao Liu! Don't think that I don't know the road, this little yellow island is indeed not much wood, but there are many trees on the big yellow island in the east, and the big yellow island is also a borderless land, no one lives on it, it is a good place to repair ships!

Originally, this ship was hidden on this small yellow island, it was a bit eye-catching, and from time to time there would be people on land, and it would be seen by others.

The goods on this ship, didn't Zhao Mazi go to Luo Yuan the day before yesterday to find the shopkeeper Li? With the financial resources of the surname Li, it is nothing to eat this ship, and it is estimated that this ship will be able to be handed over soon!

With the money from this shipment, do you guys still spend their days going out to fish for a living? You can't push this matter, otherwise my sixth brother won't recognize you as a brother! What do you say? ”

After listening to Liu Laoliu's words, Ma Yan's face turned slightly red, and after a dry smile, he said, "I said Sixth Brother!" You're embarrassed! You weren't on the island before, and you didn't know anything about it!

This island is said to be occupied by our brothers, but in essence, it is still managed by Jiang Baihu, Jiang Baihu, you are not ignorant of the way, that guy is a tyrant in this area, and dominates the fishing business in this area, the reason why we occupy this island is blind to it, to put it bluntly, let us fish for him and make money for him!

We haven't sent the catch to land for so long, so I don't know if Jiang Baihu will come to us for trouble! That's why in the past two days, I've thought about going out to catch some fish, coping with errands, and by the way, I'm going to inquire about the news of the Liu family!

As for these descendants on the island, your sixth child is also an uncle, and if you want to use them, if anyone doesn't listen to the call, see if I don't break his legs!

There is also the side of Dahuangdao, it is good to hide the boat to repair there, but recently, a group of pirates on the side of Shuangfeng Island often haunt the sea in this area, and from time to time they will go to Dahuangdao to settle down, where do we go to repair the ship, in case they run into it, this ship is not equivalent to giving it to them for nothing? I'm afraid that those who go will still have to worry about their lives!

So it's not that I don't help my brother, this matter still has to be discussed in the long run! ”

After Liu Lao Liu heard Ma Yan's words, he reached out and touched the goatee on his chin, looked east and thought about it, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense!" This matter really needs to be considered in the long run! So be it! You should call someone to go out to sea to fish, just arrange it, and when you go to sea tomorrow, Brother Yu and I will also take a boat out of the boat and go around Dahuang Island!

Dahuang Island is very big, there are many bays, it is not difficult to find a place where you can hide ships and repair ships, although pirates will dock at Dahuangdao, but they also mostly land on the east and north sides of the island, and as far as I know, few people go anywhere! ”

After listening to Liu Laoliu's words, Ma Mian hurriedly nodded and said, "This is done!" Just do what your sixth brother said! ”

Yu Xiaotian was also very satisfied, and nodded yes again and again.

(I am in a very low mood today, my grandmother who loves me the most since I was a child, was admitted to the hospital due to illness the night before yesterday, and died suddenly yesterday afternoon, and the cold wind has been in the hospital for the past two days, and now I want to help send the elderly home!)
