Liu Jin looked at the behemoth in front of him, thinking about how to maximize its value, and the melon-eating people in the port were also looking forward to it, waiting to dismember the big whale, and by the way, see if they could buy some whale meat and take it home to taste.

"Let's let go, let's go, we're about to dismember the whale, don't rush to buy whale meat, whale skin, whale oil or something."

Soon, the steward of Tianjin Port came to the port terminal with a group of butchers, some of these butchers killed pigs, cattle and sheep, and all brought their own guys to eat, and at the same time, some people brought huge boards.

"Haha, I, Liu Yidao, am also lucky, I actually had the opportunity to kill what a big fish, and some of them will blow it in the future."

A tall butcher took over a bone chopping knife from his apprentice's hand, this bone chopping knife is arced as a whole, a meter long, extremely sharp, and is used by Liu Butcher to cut cattle.

Although the Ming Dynasty forbade the killing of cattle, in the early Ming Dynasty, the cattle were more valuable than people, but now it is the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the cattle have been bred from generation to generation, and the number has been a lot, although it is still not allowed to be slaughtered at will, but as long as you find a reason to go to the government to report, you can still slaughter a small amount.

Liu Butcher is the most famous cattle butcher in Tianjin, the bone chopping knife in his hand is even more famous, it is said that he can cut the cow in half with a knife, of course, this Liu butcher's meat cutting skills are also very accurate, how much to cut, a knife will not be bad, and it has the nickname of Liu Yidao.

"Liu Yidao, can you cut this big whale with this bone chopping knife?"

An acquaintance said with a smile and Liu Yidao.

"Don't talk about one knife, it's a hundred knives, and a thousand knives can't cut it."

Liu Yidao smiled and replied.

"Haha, you also have a time to be humble~"

"Isn't this modest~"

With the arrival of more than ten butchers, the dismemberment of the whale has also begun to prepare, and the entire Tianjin port has become more lively, and more and more people have received the news, and everyone has come to see the excitement, wanting to see how big the big whale that needs more than ten butchers to be dismembered at the same time is.

"Let's let go, let's let go~"

Liu Yidao said to the people watching the excitement around him, and when everyone gave up a small piece of open space, Liu Yidao directly took off his shirt and was shirtless, revealing a strong muscle.

Then he took the bone cleaver in his hand and began to move his body constantly, this is a tough battle, he must be ready to fight a long battle.

"Wine~"

Liu Yidao shouted, and his apprentice immediately brought up the wine from a porcelain bowl, Liu Yidao drank the wine from this large porcelain bowl into his mouth in one gulp, and then raised his own bone chopping knife and sprayed the wine on it.

This is called a sacrificial knife, and it is the same as when the executioner executes, with the intention of driving away evil spirits, because according to legend, this wine can ward off evil spirits, and if you spray it on the knife, there will be no unclean things to entangle you.

Liu Yidao used to kill all cattle, this cow is very spiritual, and they are all ploughing cattle, working hard for the people, so the status is extremely high, and the slaughter of cattle is not casual, and there is also a ritual before slaughtering.

Everyone on the side watched it with relish, and even Liu Jin was full of interest, the ancients had all kinds of taboos in many aspects, and they also asked the gods to ask the Buddha for everything, or to perform a strange ritual or something.

"Okay~"

Soon, Liu Yidao's ceremony was completed, and he was considered a representative of the Tianjin butchers, and this first knife was naturally his first.

I saw him circle around the huge whale twice, constantly knocking on the whale with his hand, as if looking for a place to start.

"That's it~"

Liu Yidao pointed to a position on the belly of the whale, and then motioned for the people behind him to step back, and soon left a large open space beside him.

At this time, all the attention of everyone was on Liu Yidao, and they were all waiting for his next move.

"Open~"

I saw Liu Yidao take a few steps back, his eyes were stunned, and the whole person rushed towards the whale quickly, and the bone chopping knife in his hand instantly flashed a cold light, and at the same time, the whole person also screamed.

"Wow~"

As if the sound of a piece of cloth being cut, this knife directly cut the belly of the whale, but it did not hurt the internal organs of the fish, so that no dirt came out, making the surrounding stench unpleasant.

"Good~"

I don't know who took the lead in the applause, and suddenly there was a cheer here at the port wharf.

"Offering ugliness, offering ugliness~"

Liu Yidao held a bone chopping knife in his hand, and responded with a smile in his fists.

After the first knife was opened, the other butchers began to act quickly, only to see several people pull up the fish skin, and one person used the knife to slide under the fish skin, and soon, a large whale skin was cut off.

"The first whale skin, the big guys came to take a look, and you can quote what you want~ on-site bidding, the highest price will get ~"

The whale skin was placed on the board, and the steward of the port immediately said loudly to everyone.

"I'll take a look~"

It immediately caused a sensation, and curious people immediately approached and carefully touched the whale skin.

"This whale skin is completely different from ordinary fish skin, how does it feel like animal fur, and there is even fluff."

Soon, some people were surprised to find that the whale skin was very peculiar.

"No, this whale skin is a good leather material if it is used to make clothes."

The person who knew the goods nodded and said.

"I'll pay 500 wen to buy this whale skin~"

Soon someone made a bid.

"I published 1,000 articles, this first whale skin, it's good to take it back and collect it well."

"I'll give you a tael of silver~"

"I'll give two taels of silver~"

Soon, the price rose sharply, Tianjin port gathered a lot of merchants, merchants from the sea fish shop, businessmen who want to go to North Korea to do business, Tianjin is a transportation hub, there are many merchants from the south to the north, there is no shortage of rich people.

"Haha, I'll pay fifty taels of silver, it's good to buy this whale skin back to make a mat, auspicious! This whale is the Kunpeng in the sea, the Kunpeng soars to 90,000 miles, and with this cushion made of whale skin, no matter what you do, you can fly 90,000 miles like the Kunpeng. ”

There was a big-bellied merchant who didn't blink his eyes, and directly paid a high price of fifty taels of silver, and at the same time, he even said the matter of Kunpeng in a far-fetched manner.

This made Liu Jin can't help but take a look at him more, sure enough, it has been like this since ancient times, and ordinary people who are happy with rich people can't imagine it at all, just for a so-called soaring 90,000 miles, they will pay 50 taels of silver to buy a whale skin.

However, to Liu Jin's surprise, his speech was still very popular, and the surrounding crowd couldn't help but nod their heads, as if they agreed with this reason, and even began to price again, and finally let the whale skin that had just been cut out sell for a sky-high price of more than five hundred taels of silver.

"Haha, admit it, admit it."

It was the merchant who won the lottery just now, and the whale skin under his hand was also to thank the others around him.

On the other side, as the first piece of whale skin was cut off, there was a thick layer of fat underneath this whale skin, which the butchers used to cut off again and again, and soon filled bucket after bucket.

Someone brought a honeycomb coal stove and a cauldron, and a bucket of whale fat was poured into it, and soon the oil came out, and the whale fish oil did not have any peculiar smell, and was mostly used as a lubricant in later generations, eating and making soap, candles, and so on.

"Come on, whale oil, whale oil, everyone take a look, it's still the old rules, the one with the highest price gets ~"

The oil is constantly boiling here, and the steward of the port naturally did not forget to sell the cedar oil, and the boiled cedar oil was constantly displayed to everyone present.

"This oil is good, clear and translucent, without any fishy smell or smoke~"

"It's very good, and this production is large, you look at how thick the whale's fat is, these hundreds of pigs can't have much oil."

"But it's not, this oil is all in barrels, and there is only a lot of oil on a pig."

Everyone looked carefully at the oil scraped off the whale's body, and couldn't help but compare it with lard, and immediately found that in front of the whale oil, this lard was really too little, too little.

Soon, there was another fierce bidding, and barrels of whale oil were sold out.

"Smack~"

A large chunk of bright red whale meat was cut from the whale and placed directly on the cutting board.

"Everyone has seen it, this is whale meat, this meat is bright red, bright red, and warm, very fresh."

"Let's look at the quality of this meat, look at this texture, it's the same as beef."

The steward of the harbor cut off the meat of the whale from the top and handed it to the people around him to pass it to each other for viewing.

"This meat is indeed very good, the same as beef, and the key is that there is no fishy smell, which is very rare."

"This beef is a rarity, and it seems that I can eat more whale meat in the future."

"How do you sell this whale meat? I'm going to buy some and go back and try it. ”

In the port, everyone took turns to pass a piece of fast whale meat, carefully looked at it, smelled it, and even some people directly cut a small piece and ate it raw, which was naturally indispensable.

"Come, come, fresh whale meat, only sell for five cents a catty, how much to cut~"

Soon, the steward of the port began to shout.

"Give me ten pounds, try it~"

"I want five catties ~ taste the taste of this whale meat ~"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of people immediately screamed, and there was a rush of busyness, and soon, a large piece of whale meat that had just been cut was sold.

Soon, however, another large piece of whale meat was cut off, and it was sold on the spot on a quick board.

"A pair of whale bale~"

On the other hand, Liu Yidao and other butchers continued to dismember the whales and cut off the long whale whiskers.

Whale whiskers naturally caused a fierce competition, for whiskers and other things, everyone seems to be very fond of them, and it seems that they also have collectible value or something, this whale whiskers were sold for more than ten taels of silver.

In the port of Tianjin, it was very lively, and everyone patted a long queue to buy whale meat.

The size of this whale is too huge, and there is a lot of meat, and the whale meat for five cents a pound is very popular, and there are many people who buy it.

Not only ordinary people want to buy a little to try it, but the merchants of this sea fish shop are also looking at the business opportunities here, and they have made a large amount of money and a large amount of money, and they have bought hundreds of catties and thousands of catties to buy, and they are immediately sent to the capital, and there must be countless dignitaries and nobles who are willing to spend a high price to taste the taste of this giant beast in the sea.

Similarly, many restaurants in Beijing and Tianjin that do seafood are naturally indispensable to buy, and the whale meat that appeared for the first time has to study a few signature dishes related to whales.

More than a dozen butchers were busy sweating profusely, and the people on the port side were also very interesting.

It took more than an hour, and the flesh and whale meat, fish skin, etc. on this huge whale were initially cut, and a huge fish skeleton was initially exposed, so that everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes again, it was too big, and the butcher standing next to the whale looked very small.

"A whale tongue ~ the old rule, the one with the highest price gets ~"

When the whale's huge tongue is cut out, one tongue is very heavy, and it takes several strong men to lift it to the board.

The tongue, whether it is a pig's tongue or a cow's tongue, a duck's tongue or something, has always been synonymous with high-quality dishes, and the whale's tongue naturally caused a fierce competition, and was finally bought back by the shopkeeper of a restaurant at a high price of 200 taels of silver.

"Haha, this whale turned out to be a male whale, let's see, this whale guy is scared to death~"

When the dismemberment was reached to the tail of the whale, Liu Yidao seemed to have discovered something, and soon he was busy and cut off the treasure of the whale's breeding offspring.

"Bang~"

A few strong men struggled to lift it to the top of the board, and suddenly made the surrounding crowd stunned, such a huge baby has naturally never been seen, some women in the port blushed directly, and couldn't help covering their eyes with their hands, but looked curiously between their fingers.

"I'll give you five hundred taels of silver~"

The port steward hasn't opened his mouth yet, and someone immediately bid~

"I'll give you six hundred taels of silver~"

"I'll give you eight hundred taels of silver~"

Hearing that this number was rising slowly, Liu Jin couldn't recognize it and was dumbfounded, what's so strange about this thing?

Let so many people bid for it so frantically, isn't this silver silver, it's all copper?

Of course, Liu Jin doesn't understand this, even if he is a human being in two lives, he really can't understand what is the use of this thing, it is so popular, but listening to their continuous offers, Liu Jin is still very happy, the higher the price, the greater the value of the whale, and more people will go whaling in the future, and the whale industry can prosper.
