The whale has a great vitality, I don't know how much stronger than humans, Chen Zijian has already let the sails be lowered, let the whale drag, half an hour later, the whale's vitality is still there, but there is no strength to drag the fortune boat forward.

Chen Zijian asked people to turn the wheel and put the rope away, the whale was less than ten meters away from the boat, Chen Zijian took out a spear, saw the whale's head and threw it out, the spear went deep into the whale's head, the whale was powerless to return to the sky, and completely died after struggling for a few minutes, a big fish more than ten meters long floated on the sea, due to the spread of whale blood, unfolded an uninvited guest, shark!

Chen Zijian frowned, this is Lao Tzu's trophy, you things dare to come and grab food!

Chen Zijian's eyesight is much better than ordinary people, and when he saw that the sharks under the sea were gathering, he wanted to split the surface of the whales and eat them, but there was such a good thing, if he wanted to eat meat, Lao Tzu would kill you first.

"Whew!"

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and in an instant, an iron ball the size of half a thumb sank into the sea, and then as the sea rolled over, a shark surfaced, and a fist-sized blood hole had been broken in the shark's head.

It is very difficult to lift the whale and put it on the deck, so it can only be dragged forward in the water, the sails are raised again, and the paddle wheels on both sides rotate to speed up the return.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with the experience of whaling for the first time, you can leave the whaling matter to your subordinates in the future.

When he came, there were only four lucky boats, and when he went back, in addition to the whales, he captured five European sailing ships by the way, everything looked a little weird, but it was reasonable, Chen Zijian's strength destroyed a fleet, it was simply mad.

No one will use European sailing ships, and the whites who will use them are served by Chen Zijian, and the control of soft sailing ships is very different from the hard sails of lucky ships, Chen Zijian's people want to explore the control of soft sailing ships on their own in a short period of time, there is no such possibility, this is not a question of white people being smarter than Ming people, but two platforms with different operations.

If you can't control a soft sailboat, then throw away such a good boat, it's impossible, and if you can't control it, then tugboat! Lower the soft sail and tie it to the back of the ship and tow it back.

A fleet of nine ships, returning with a lot of loot, now no one is worried about encountering pirates, no matter how powerful the pirates are, can they compare with Chen Zijian!

Chen Zijian boarded the soft sailing ship again, except for some unrepairable places, which looked a little dilapidated, the rest of the ship had been cleaned, and the deck had been cleaned with a large amount of seawater.

Zhang Wu lowered the rope and let Chen Zijian climb onto the boat.

"Chief, you're here."

Zhang Wu greeted Chen Zijian respectfully.

Chen Zijian: "Hmm! I came over to take a look at the artillery. ”

Zhang Wu said enviously, "Chief, when will I be as powerful as you!" ”

Chen Zijian was proud in his heart, and replied on the surface, "Hehe, it's average, just train more in the future." I'm just a little better than you. ”

It felt good to be complimented, and then Chen Zijian walked down the cabin to check the situation of the artillery.

The fact that the artillery could not hit Chen Zijian before does not mean that the performance of the artillery is not good, it can only be said that the speed of the motorboat is too fast, and the artillery has no ability to aim at fast-moving objects. Artillery is one of the most high-tech things in this era, and there are really not many things that can be higher than artillery. In particular, the artillery of the Europeans is much more powerful than the artillery of the Ming Dynasty.

After this result, the Europeans continued to improve in artillery technology, bringing forth the new, on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty, artillery technology is not nothing, but people are a little speechless at this level, the cost of the imperial court to build artillery, was deducted by officials layer by layer, originally to use a hundred silver to build artillery, can only use ten taels of silver to build artillery, such artillery quality can be imagined.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Europeans sold artillery to the imperial court, which illustrates the problem, that is, the artillery purchased by the Europeans is one or two generations behind, which is better than the artillery built by the imperial court itself, why is it one or two generations behind? Isn't it nonsense, the Europeans probably bought the highest artillery to the Ming Dynasty, even if the artillery is backward, it is still of better quality than the artillery of the imperial court.

It can only be said that the imperial court has no desire for the development of science and technology.

At the port of Dianbai County, the crowd was full of people, and the volunteers who followed Chen Zijian over, a small part went to sea with him, and most of the remaining people stayed on duty in Dianbai County, and they heard that the chief had brought the whale back and asked them to go over to help, and then except for the volunteers on duty, the rest of the people came out.

"Zhang Wu, tell my brother to drag this whale to the beach next to it, put a pot on the stove, and prepare for oil refining!" When the boat docked, Chen Zijian jumped down and did not explain, but directly instructed Zhang Wu.

After listening to this, Zhang Wu went over and asked the volunteers to come over to help.

A group of volunteers in the port, dragging more than 20 tons of whale carcasses to the beach, four ropes, hundreds of people dragged, soon the whole whale was completely placed on the beach, all the volunteers on the scene are from the inland, whales this kind of marine life don't say to see, I haven't heard of it, such a huge whale in front of me, my heart is shocked, if I didn't hear that it was slaughtered by the chief himself, when I encounter such a creature, maybe I will kneel and worship.

The whale carcass was dragged ashore, so it naturally had to be cut, and Chen Zijian asked Zhang Wu to arrange for someone to dismember the whale and cut off the oil under the skin.

Chen Zijian came out to do things, of course, not only the volunteers followed, in addition to the volunteers and their party, more people were responsible for transportation, and they were also watching the excitement not far away.

Zhang Wu came over, a little embarrassed, "Chief, the brothers are a little afraid of whales and don't dare to do it." ”

Chen Zijian suddenly felt a toothache, "It's already a corpse, what's there to be afraid of?" What is the difference between this and the killing of pigs, cows, and other livestock? If you're even scared of this, is it still a man with eggs? Chen Zijian was a little angry, even the corpse was afraid, no wonder he was hungry before!

"Iron Mountain, you take a few brothers to break down the fish."

After all, it was the first time to see such a huge whale, Chen Zijian was too lazy to bother with them, just let the guard Li Tieshan do it, Li Tieshan used to follow his father-in-law Li Mingshan to the sea, whales often saw it, no one dared to do anything to the whale before, now since the chief killed the whale, what else is there to be afraid of, take a bright knife and cut it on the skin of the whale.

In addition to letting Li Tieshan do it, Chen Zijian looked at it for a while, he also held a knife and cut on the surface of the whale, this can be regarded as an experience, Chen Zijian had no experience in cutting whales before, so he had a good experience, and did it himself, peeling off the thick whale skin with a sharp waist knife, and then cutting a piece of fat more than three inches thick, revealing the red and white whale meat inside.

Whale skin and grease are clearly distinguished, Rao is Chen Zijian's first time doing this work, and he can also distinguish clearly.

Explain as you go: "Your job is to divide all the parts of the whole whale. First, the skin is peeled off, the subcutaneous oil is cut and boiled into whale oil...... The meat inside, cut into small pieces, is made into jerky...... Visceral parts, dried and set aside...... The contents of the intestines are also dried on the beach...... You can't throw away the bones......" Chen Zijian threw a large piece of whale fat into the vine next to him, and breathed a sigh of relief, just like this, the fat made by a whale is much more than the fat boiled out of hunting wild boars before, the carcass of the whale in front of him, the oil boiled out, Chen Zijian estimated, it can be compared with hundreds of wild boars! Or more.

You know, even if a big wild boar can boil out dozens of catties of fat at most, if you want to boil a few tons of fat, how many wild boars will be harmed, and now a whale can easily do it, which is the best solution.

In addition to oil, whales are full of treasures, and the leather tanned can be made into leather, which is tougher than animal skin; Whale meat is too wasteful to make feed, and many people will be willing to buy it in the era of meat and meat shortage; Offal, dried and ground into flour, made into feed for poultry and livestock to grow faster; The stomach of the whale is full of small fish and shrimp, and the effect of fertilizing the field is far better than that of farmhouse fertilizer. These effects are incidental, Chen Zijian didn't pay much attention, after all, it is too inefficient to plant and breed these things.

Before the whaling, Chen Zijian had already figured out how to use every part of the whale's body, as for the cruel or not, most of the Chinese people are struggling under the hunger line, especially the people in the northern region, now there is a solution, who cares about his cruelty, at least Chen Zijian does not have that virgin heart, whales must not be wasted at will, this is also a matter of no way.

If Chen Zijian wants to develop Zhangjia Village, raw materials are a threshold, there was nothing in the past, but now there are more than 100,000 people, there is not enough food, hehe, there is no need for outsiders to attack, Zhangjia Village will be disbanded by itself.

No matter which part of the whale body, it can have a big effect.

The aquaculture industry is in a primitive state, ordinary people have few sources of meat, fresh whale meat is not easy to preserve, and it is okay to make canned whales.

Offal roasting, drying and grinding into flour to breed livestock, is also Chen Zijian's plan, Zhangjia Village to develop, although the breeding industry does not pay much attention, at least not in the first task, but also to pay attention to.

"Chief, can you eat this meat?" Zhang Wu asked.

"Of course, cut off a large piece in a while, and we'll eat whale meat tonight!" Chen Zijian said, didn't the small Wa Kingdom in later generations catch whales every year, and there was a large amount of whale meat for sale in the market, although he had never eaten whale meat.

How many things can a whale solve, Chen Zijian felt in his heart, and at the same time felt helpless for the people of the Ming Dynasty, there is so much meat in the ocean, but some people are starving to death, what is this. With the first whale, Chen Zijian can do things freely in the future, with a large amount of fish and meat in the ocean, the store opened by Li Zhuer can soon increase the variety of meat.

With whales, Chen Zijian said that the problem of the development of Zhangjia Village has been basically solved, and there will be no difficulties in raw materials.

There were sharks who wanted to rob Chen Zijian's loot before, but unfortunately many of them were killed by Chen Zijian, and the shark was killed by Chen Zijian, and the shark meat was not delicious, so Chen Zijian didn't want to challenge the shark meat, but shark fin is different, shark fin is valuable food, how could Chen Zijian ignore it, the shark cut the shark fin and threw it back into the sea.

For dinner tonight, Chen Zijian wants to try the legendary shark fin, which Chen Zijian has never eaten in later generations.
