Chapter 936: Sailor's Glory
The whale let out the last whine, and countless blood gushed out, and the bottom of the ship was completely dyed red.
The heavy bloodiness makes people almost vomit.
After the sailors on the ship stabilized their hull, they also took out their guns and spears and threw them at the whale.
Everyone, under the influence of bloody smell, has entered a state of violence, no one is afraid or timid.
Those who dare to make a living in the sea, without cowards, timids or hiding behind others, are those who have been looked down upon for generations. Only brave people are worthy of being called men.
The sailors of Chang'an selected by Li Mu are among the best, and there is no cowardly person.
Although the damage they caused was far less serious to whales than Li Chongyi's axe, the damage caused to whales was still irreversible, and the continuous attacks on a point were still attacked.
The damage superimposed finally crushed the whale's last bit of strength.
It stopped moving.
Someone poked out the side of the ship to see the fish corpse floating up.
The black and white corpse was stunned by everyone.
On the whale's corpse, Li Chongyi was covered in blood, as if he was a bloody man.
"Die? Dead?" Li Mu rushed to the side of the ship, smelled the bloody smell, and vomited in a flash. He had also been on the battlefield and had seen blood, but the strong smell of blood still exceeded his imagination.
The boat just now was shaking, which was really bad. Several times, Li Mu thought he was dead.
The sailors cheered, and Li Mu scolded, "What's there to be happy about? Isn't this just right? Go back to your post, return immediately, drag the whale back, pull the sails full of the sails, check what was destroyed everywhere on the boat? We are a ten thousand stone ship, and we haven't fought yet, how about a fish?"
Everyone started to pull the cable and pull the sails. Someone rushed into the bottom cabin to check the damage of the ship. The people in the bottom cabin began to prepare to abandon the ballast stone.
The sailors faced the sea breeze and were all smiling. They knew that when they returned to the port, they were famous, and being able to catch a whale was definitely the sailors of Yangzhou Port. No, it was the glory of sailors all over the world today, and they could brag about the things they had for the rest of their lives!
When we talk about who is awesome or not, we just need to throw this out and win 100% crushingly!
I just asked you if you have seen whales? I just asked you if you have caught whales!
Li Mu's "Yunlong Banner" is hung on the mast and flutters in the wind. The sky with a ray of rays and the blue sea water looks particularly dazzling.
The sailor climbing the mast impatiently dispersed the seagulls who wanted to stop, holding a flag.
The sailors at the bottom were holding the cables.
Li Mu asked someone to take Tamsui and wash his face. He was a little embarrassed now. He didn't know how many times he had been beaten by the huge waves just now, and the sea water was filled with water. Li Chongyi also climbed onto the boat, but he was fine, but he was covered in blood. He looked scary and smelled disgusting. Li Mu asked him to wash it clean, change his clothes and come to meet him.
Li Mu raised his wet hand and wiped it upwards. Suddenly, his long hair was raised back and his head was covered with a big back.
"He said that in the wind and rain, what is this little pain? Don't be afraid of wiping away the tears, because we still have dreams..."
Li Mu yelled at the top of his throat. He didn't know why, maybe it was because he was touched by the scene!
The sailors were stunned for a moment and yelled as Li Mu. Everyone had different accents, but when they got together, they were in a wonderful harmony.
"I understand!" Suddenly an inappropriate voice sounded. Li Mu looked over angrily and saw that it was Storekeeper Xiao, and said impatiently: "What do you understand? Didn't you see singing?"
"Mr. Marquis, the villain understands."
Li Mu was confused: "What do you understand? Tell me!"
Manager Xiao said excitedly: "The first thing in the art of war is practical combat. Practice is useful, but without actual combat response, it is useless. This whale fishing and fighting giant fish is actually practical. Is there any battle in the ocean that can compare with whales? Can you deal with whales, and what kind of battle can't be dealt with?"
"I encountered danger for the first time and was easily panicked. But if I encountered many encounters, I naturally didn't take it seriously. This is like a veteran who went to the battlefield and a new soldier who didn't. Although the recruits were young and strong, they were not as useful as veterans. Those who had experienced battles and had seen blood were different... Marquis, the villain was convinced, and the villain finally understood what it was to plan and win a thousand miles away. Details were reflected everywhere, and we could not guess."
Li Mu looked at him with a mentally retarded look.
After a long time, he sneered: "I'm sick!"
"Back to the voyage!"
"Return to the voyage..." The sailors echoed, drowning the voice of Manager Xiao.
The sailors kept relaying with excited voices: "Go back!"
Echoes came back from afar: Returning to the voyage!
The majestic Chang'an, the magnificent Chang'an, return the same way!
...
At dawn, Chang'an returns to Hong Kong.
Countless people appeared in the port, looking forward to it.
The Changan ship was out of the port for the first time, and everyone wanted to see what kind of momentum such a huge ship was.
And at this time, people noticed something.
Behind the big ship, it seemed like a small hill floating in the water.
The crowd stretched their necks, and when they saw it clearly, they all started to roar as if they had exploded.
People at the beach have been sailors for generations, but who has never heard of whales?
It's really a whale!
Countless people ran around and told each other, and countless Yangzhou people rushed over to see the style.
After entering the port, the whale was pulled by the tide and rushed to the beach.
Countless people rushed over and looked at the huge fish in horror. They raised their heads and could not see the whale's heads. At this time, even the sailors of the Chang'an were stunned.
Looking in the sea, it’s not that big! This is not a fish, isn’t this a mountain?
The sailors jumped off the boat, drove away the onlookers, and formed a wall of people. This was their spoils. Without the permission of the Marquis, no one could take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and secretly cut off the flesh.
Under Li Mu's instructions, several old sailors began to measure. After measurement, the whale was twelve meters long. It was estimated that its weight was probably around 300,000 kilograms.
Three hundred thousand kilograms... If it weren't for the ten thousand stone ship, I wouldn't be able to pull it back!
At this time, Gu Sizhi and others also arrived. The old man was old and couldn't stand the smell of blood. He had already vomited for a while on the way he came to Li Mu. His face was pale. He looked up at the whale, stunned for a long time, and murmured: "So big! Such a huge whale marquis can subdue, it's really..."
"Det you, you are not young anymore. Let the young man flatter you." Li Mu said impatiently, pointing to the whale and saying, "It's so delicious."
"Ah?" Gu Sizhi was a little confused: "Marty, what do you mean...how to cook?"
"You haven't dealt with whales?"
Gu Sizhi smiled dryly: "I have only seen it in the sea before, but I really don't know how to cook it. I'd like to ask the marquis to show you."
Li Mu didn't know how to deal with it, but he had heard that whales have many wonderful uses. The skin of whales is also a good ingredient. So keep the rest of the meat for eating?
"Print first, then refine oil, divide the remaining meat and cut it. After all, it is meat, and it would be a pity not to eat it. The bones are clean, painted into graphics, and numbered. I will transport them back to Chang'an and assemble them together and give them to Your Majesty!"
Gu Sizhi understood this time: "After Master said this, I knew what to do. Yes, after all, it was meat, it would be a pity not to eat it. It was just too fishy and I didn't know what it tasted. Don't worry, there are some good cooks in Yangzhou, and there are all kinds of spices. I can always think of cooking methods. The weather is hot now, and the fish is very corpse. The most urgent thing is to refine the oil quickly, otherwise it will be in vain if it rots."
"You can do it yourself!" Li Mu said a word and went back to Yuelai Inn. His two wives were still waiting for him, so there was no time to hang out with the old man.
Refining oil is very simple. Just cut the whale's grease, set it up on an iron pan, and boil it and boil it. After the boiling is almost done, let it cool, and the whale oil will be considered as a success.
More than a hundred sailors, each taking their own knives, did not care about the fatigue of returning from the sea, carried bamboo baskets, cut off the fat and whale meat, peeled off the whale's skin and flesh, and sold them directly on the spot.
This meat is more than 100,000 kilograms, and ten cents per kilogram. This price is expensive for fish, but this is whale meat after all, and even if it is fresh, it is worth the price.
Some restaurant shopkeepers have taken a fancy to this business opportunity and poured out their own ice cellars to store the whale meat. It is not a problem to have no cooking method. In time, you can always find a way!
It is impossible for Chang'an to catch fish all the time, and whales are not often encountered. Scarve things as expensive, so you can make sure to make a profit when storing them. Don't forget that customers outside Yangzhou are more rich, and they will also be interested in whale meat. Now, it is always profitable to store them and sell them.
For a moment, in addition to the people around the harbor, many people also carried shoulder poles and baskets back and forth, and took out a load of meat directly.
Even the whale blood that has not yet shed, some people bid for it. After all, whales are full of treasures, and it has been circulated by alchemists. Bathing with the essence and blood of rare beasts can prolong life. Is there any rare beast that is bigger than whales in the world?
People always like to eat rare species, and this whale is rare. Many people whisper in a low voice, believing that this whale must be a very nourishing product.
Although Li Mu was not interested in whale meat, seeing that whale meat was so popular, he still asked someone to cut off a piece of it in each part, plus whale blood, etc., and found ice to freeze it, and ordered the Clippers to send it back to Chang'an.
