Hunting such a huge mammal in the ocean, whether on ice or in the water, is a very difficult and dangerous task that requires patience, perseverance and great skill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a result, most Inuit whaling was done in groups, forming whaling teams of eight adult men, led by an experienced hunter.

Inuit whaling teams in Northwest Alaska, coastal Asia, and Greenland generally consist of six oarsmen, one helmsman, and one pitcher.

The Inuit (Eskimos) of the North Pacific were usually piloted by a hunter alone, looking for prey.

After stabbing the whale with a very light spear with a poison at the tip, the hunter immediately returned to the village and performed a series of religious ceremonies, praying to the gods to help them kill the wounded whale quickly.

At the same time, the rest of the village went out to sea by boat to monitor the condition of the injured whales.

As the whale kept swimming, the spear pierced deeper, and the poison gradually soaked into its body, and even if the spear was broken free, the whale would eventually be poisoned.

The whale may swim far away and the hunter will not get it, but it will be obtained by someone else.

This method of whaling is commonly used among the Inuit, so during whaling season, dead whales will be seen floating on the surface.

Because whales are so large that they can be easily spotted, someone will always get them.

Mo Ye and their ship accidentally broke into here, and naturally there was a chance to get the prey that others escaped, so Lin Yumin proposed this.

Thinking of Roshan floating on the sea, Mo Ye's eyes lit up, he couldn't bear to kill these big guys, but he was still very happy to see such a thing as picking up corpses.

Dodging the fleet, Mo Ye chose to follow Lin Yumin's advice this time, let him control the fishing boat, and walked around.

For old fishermen, finding prey is a good trick, and they can naturally determine the location of whales more quickly.

However, they still didn't find anything near that fleet, and it wasn't until they sailed out for dozens of nautical miles that they had their first harvest.

It was also a humpback whale, although it was not as huge as the one they had seen, but this one weighed more than ten tons.

"How? Hang up? Deng Chuge looked at the moving Roshan Road.

"Be careful, there may be sharks around!" At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was about to get dark, so Lin Yumin reminded the people on the boat to pay attention to it, in case of falling into the water, it was very dangerous.

"Forget it, let's just cut some whale meat and taste it, so as not to cause trouble." Mo Ye said suddenly.

"Let's deal with it!" Lin Yumin breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Mo Xie was greedy, if he really got a whale on the boat, there would definitely be trouble.

After all, it is illegal for anyone other than the Eskimos to hunt whales, especially in Canadian and American waters, and if caught, there is definitely a large fine.

There are many sailors on the ship, so naturally there is no need for Mo Ye to go down to cut the meat himself, so Mo Ye just waits to eat.

There were more than 100 people on three ships, so naturally they couldn't take too little, so their steamer waited here for a full hour and cut more than 3,000 catties of whale meat before leaving.

When it was time to leave, Mo Ye's steamer stayed at the end.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, so after the ship left the whale for a few tens of meters, Mo Xie moved his mind and put the whale into the inner space of the super biological detector.

Looking at the humpback whale inside the space, Mo Ye was a little strange, why was so much flesh cut off on both sides of his mouth?

Is it because of whale skin? I heard that this is delicious.

There is not much whale meat on the head, this is clear to Mo Ye, and Lin Yumin knows even better, why did he come to the head of the whale?

Although he was puzzled, however, Mo Ye did not ask, of course, if others asked, he could listen to it.

"Stop the ship, stop the ship!" Just as Mo Ye was pondering, someone in front of him shouted to stop the boat.

Soon, Mo Xie knew why he wanted to stop the boat, because another humpback whale had been spotted in front of him, and this one was even bigger than the one Mo Xie had seen before.

"Uncle Lin, how do you know that there will be humpback whales in this area?" At this time, Deng Chuge couldn't help but ask.

"How do I know? It's just that there is a current below this area, and if the whales are injured and can't swim on their own, they will dive into the current and let the current carry them out of the dangerous place. Lin Yumin said.

"I see!" Mo Xie suddenly realized.

After these whales are attacked, if they want to escape quickly, they will naturally dive into the current, so that they are the fastest, but these whales are poisoned, so even if they escape the pursuit, they can only wait for death.

Therefore, as long as Lin Yumin determines the underwater current and follows the current, it is naturally possible to find the hunted whale.

"Those Eskimos should know this very well, right?" At this time, Mo Ye felt strange again.

"First, it's dark now, and second, it's almost the end of their hunting at this time, so they give up some prey tracking." Lin Yumin said with a smile.

"We can't eat that much, what are we stopping the boat for this time?" Chu Tianyi asked.

"Haha, I can't eat meat, I still have to take the baleen of whales." Lin Yumin laughed.

"Baleen?" Mo Xie's heart moved, knowing that this was a good thing, even more advanced than ordinary jewelry.

At this time, Mo Xie suddenly realized that the two sides of the mouth of the humpback whale just now should be cut off by the baleen, I heard that the humpback whale has 270~400 baleen on each side, if this one is bigger, there should be a lot of baleen.

Sure enough, I was busy again, and this time I received more than 800 baleen pieces, plus more than 400 pieces from before, and got a total of more than 1,200 baleen pieces.

Baleen is a kind of huge sheet formed by the epidermis that grows in the mouth of baleen cetaceans, which is flexible and not easy to break, hanging in the mouth, in the form of a comb, and is used to filter small shrimp and small fish in the water as bait.

Baleen can be used to make clothing and handicrafts, as well as medical equipment, but due to large-scale killing, destruction of the living environment, and the impact of boats, baleen whales are still very scarce, and most of them are endangered.

For example, blue whales, fin whales, minke whales, humpback whales, etc., there are not too many in the world.

Depending on the species, the length of the baleen (in the lateral direction, i.e. the direction of the whale's body length) will also vary, with baleen generally ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 meters in length and weighing up to 90 kilograms.

This thing can be used to make crafts like ivory, or to make combs and other things, and it is a gemstone that can grow, just like clams and corals.

"This baby is so big!" Mo Ye exclaimed.

"The main thing is that this thing grows on its own!" Deng Chuge looked at Mo Ye with a little envy, this is a treasure picked up for nothing.

"It's a pity that it still needs to be processed, as if domestic processing is a crime!" Chu Tianyi is the most sensible.

"Don't study the baleen anymore, let's study more whale meat now!" Seeing Deng Chuge and them so excited, Lin Yumin reminded.

"This gem is too worthless, it will cost you hundreds of catties at once!" Chu Tianyi stood up and said.

"Why don't you count how many years this humpback whale has grown?" Mo Xie chuckled.

"I don't care how many years it has grown, and now it eats whale meat, but can whale meat be eaten?" Deng Chuge said.

"Of course, whale meat can be eaten, in fact, whale meat can not only be eaten, but in some countries whale meat is used as a home-cooked dish, for example, in Japan there is no difference between whale meat and pork, beef and mutton, it is sold in supermarkets, and even the practice is similar, a whale meat lunch box package includes smoked whale and whale steak, but there are also experts who call for whale meat to be edible, but it is not conducive to our health." Mo Evil Dao.

"Listen to their nonsense, whale meat is actually a fortified version of beef, do you think you can eat it?" Lin Yumin sneered.

"So, whale meat is delicious? Gotta try it! Chu Tianyi laughed.

Mo Ye also smiled, of course he knew that the whale meat was delicious, and after knowing that the two whales were poisoned, he used the super biological detector to detect it.

This kind of poisoned whale has no toxin residue in the whale meat, so it can be eaten with confidence.

Sure enough, Lin Yumin is a big expert in making seafood, and the whale meat he makes is still delicious.

Lin Yumin took the whale meat to the kitchen, and soon with the help of the chef, made a whale feast, which was almost entirely made of whale meat.

There are fried whale steaks, steamed fish meat, smoked whale meat, whale sashimi, grilled whales, whale miso soup, whale noodle soup, etc.

Among them, whale tongue slices are the most delicious, but I heard Lin Yumin say that if he has time, he can also make pickled whale skin, and I heard that the taste is better and unique.

Eat whales while they are hot, otherwise they will have a fishy smell when it is cold, and whale meat dishes are easy to make with sashimi, so the first thing they taste is sashimi.

The taste of this whale meat is like a three-layer meat, and the texture is soft but still a little bite.

Of course, the cooked whale meat is also good, with a strong meat flavor, but its taste is not much different from ordinary common meat, only a little more fishy.

It's okay to eat something like this once in a while, but if you eat it regularly, it's definitely not okay.

In fact, in Japan, which eats the most whale meat, most people still eat pork, beef, mutton and chicken, especially young people, who rarely eat whales.

As a result, the demand for whale meat in Japan has greatly decreased, and prices have fallen.

However, there are still some parts of whale meat that are very expensive, such as the lean meat of the whale's tail, which is as high as 6,000 yen per kilogram, the normal lean meat is usually 2,600 yen, the premium skin is 3,300 yen per kilogram, and the price of canned whale meat is only slightly more expensive than beef, which is comparable to salmon.

After receiving two whales, plus countless fish and shrimp in the surrounding seas, Mo Xie sat in the cab and tasted wine contentedly.
