Chapter 1443

To tell the truth, Qin Shiou had seen the boat lamp, but he didn't know it was exiled the night before Ping'an, so he asked shack.

Shack said that in the past, fishing at sea was a high-risk job, and many people couldn't come back after going to sea. In this way, every year on Christmas Eve, fishermen bring their families to put ship lights. First, they pray for peace, and second, they are used as guide lights. If they die in the deep sea, their souls will come back under the guidance of the ship lights.

Later, with the progress of science and technology and the timely rescue work, this tradition was lost in many places. In fact, there was no boat light on Christmas Eve on farewell island for several years.

"I said, didn't you do it last year? Why did you suddenly think of doing this thing this year? " Qin Shiou said, playing with a polished shell.

Shaq said, "I'm not sure. It's an activity initiated by Mayor Winnie. It seems to cooperate with the shooting of the film. Cameron's film has relevant plots. Didn't we encounter a hurricane not long after Christmas? What I heard is that there is an opening plot of the film, that is, let's put on the boat lights and pray for everything to go well, so as to pave the way for the shipwreck later. "

Qin Shiou suddenly realized that the original crew came to bid farewell to the town. In fact, the film stars looked bright and suffered when they really made a film. It was Christmas right away. They couldn't go home for the festival and needed to come to bid farewell to the island for phase II shooting.

Setting off boat lights is a traditional activity. Qin Shiou also participated in the production. It should be very interesting to go to the activity together at that time.

With many people and great power, a lot of shells were quickly made into boat lights.

Fishermen use hand grinders to polish shells, while teenagers stick candles on them. The division of labor is clear and the work speed is very fast.

Shack asked Qin Shiou to take the teenagers to stick the candles. Qin Shiou disdained and said, "let me polish the shells."

The working bull said, "boss, although this thing is simple, it is actually skilled. The balance of the shell is not good. It is easy to sink into the water when put into the water, so you have to polish it from the outside to the inside, and the more you polish it, the lighter it is. In this way, the bottom of the ship is heavy enough, so it is not easy to overturn."

Then the bull showed him one. After polishing, the shell really looked like a boat. The edge was as thin as a cicada's wing. Qin Shiou looked at the sun and couldn't see anything - please, the bull was just a fisherman, not Luban.

Qin Shiou polished one himself. The hand grinder is not easy to control. One careless will lead to shell breakage. He tried several times and destroyed four shells, and the fifth one was polished successfully.

As a result, the big shell just floated on the sea. Qin Shiou didn't wait to be happy. A wave came and disappeared.

"Fark!" Qin senior official scolded angrily, picked up a shell and quietly continued to work.

Shaq advised, "boss, you can stick candles. It's much simpler, isn't it?"

Qin Shiou insisted, "no, I have to learn it. I can't escape because it's difficult, can I?"

Since he showed such determination, it was inconvenient for the fishermen to say anything. They had to let him polish it by himself. Anyway, there were plenty of big shells found in the fishing ground.

Kung Fu pays off. Qin Shiou groped for half an hour and finally made it handy. Finally, it took only two minutes to polish a shell.

Glue a candle to the shell. Qin Shiou confidently puts it into the ocean. As a result, another wave comes, and the shell still can't get rid of the fate of jumping on the street!

"After being a Jesus father, I don't believe in evil." The senior official of Qin was furious, clenched his teeth and devoted himself to research.

But no matter how he polished it, even if the final polished shell was perfect, he still couldn't avoid the wind and waves.

So he had to admit defeat and told the shacks that he couldn't make a shell boat lamp: "I don't know what's wrong. The shell can't avoid the waves. Let's forget it."

The fishermen looked at him in amazement. Shaq asked, "are you kidding? This is a shell, not a real ship. How can it compare with the waves? As long as the waves are higher than shells, our polished shell boat lights can't stand the beating of the waves. "

"Yes, our boat lights are used in Chenbao lake. There are no such big waves in the lake." The sea monster also said naturally.

Qin Shiou: "

In addition to the shell boat lights, shack also made some special conch boat lights.

Fishermen choose fist sized conch and then polish it carefully so that the conch can float horizontally on the water like a boat. Finally, fill the conch shell with wax oil, insert the wick, solidify and ignite it, which can light up for a long time.

Qin Shiou can't learn this. It really needs experience and skills. Among the fishermen, only Shaq, sea monster, cigarette gun and Zach can do it well, and others can't.

After several experiments, he found that the shell he handled, let alone floating, could not even maintain balance on the water surface, so he gave up the struggle and had to admit defeat this time.

The soldiers of Heidao and his party stayed in the fishing ground for so long. Qin Shiou gave them a holiday in the last week, a total of ten paid holidays, so that they could stay at home with their families until the beginning of the new year.

The fishing ground has prepared many gift boxes, all of which are dry seafood, such as dried bonito and lobster meat. Qin Shiou asked them to take back as much as the soldiers can take.

Now there are a large number of people in the fishing ground, and there are 15 retired PLA soldiers. Although they may not have participated in actual combat like black knife and others, they have also been strictly trained. They have records and vigilance. They can also be responsible for security duty without the soldiers.

On the evening of December 23, the annual Christmas Eve came.

Qin Shiou drove and Weini held the melon. The family and the teenagers happily came to the Bank of Chenbao lake. Some residents and tourists have lit boat lights there.

As night falls, lights flicker in the night. The sea breeze is not strong tonight. It is suitable to put boat lights in the lake.

"God bless you." Auerbach crossed his chest, "ten times on Christmas Eve, there are at most two such good weather. It seems that God has a better temper this year."

Countless lights beat in the breeze, and the dark winter night is not so gloomy, especially those boat lights that have been put into the lake. The candle lights on them complement the lake, which is even more beautiful.

Qin Shiou put down the pumpkin boat. A small boat can take two people. The teenagers take it separately, row the boat to the middle of the lake, then light the shell boat lamp and put it on the lake carefully.

Now on Chenbao lake, the lights in a large area of water flicker, and the boat lights float up and down with slight waves. The fire light not only illuminates the night and forms a reflection in the water, but also weakens the lights illuminated by the floating waves.
