The way back can be regarded as a day and night journey, first of all, everyone has become proficient in the operation of this battleship, and second, after running this river road, they also know the general situation, that is, now dragging a giant whale affects the speed of the ship, or Cao Yan absolutely believes that he can fly back in five hours.

When the boat docked, a lot of things had been prepared on the shore, and when these people were halfway, Cao Yan arranged for someone to get off the boat and rent a fast horse to come back and call for the news.

When this forty or fifty-ton sperm whale appeared on the dock.

The huge size, the mouth opened like a black hole.

Let the people who come over be frightened and scatter and flee.

There was a panic on the docks.

Cao Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the consequences with a little crying and laughing, and ordered the people around him, "Tell people to shout, that thing is dead." ”

"Well, I know my aunt." After the people around him answered, someone with a big iron horn began to shout.

"Don't be afraid, this thing is dead......"

……

After a period of publicity, and seeing that the whale really didn't move.

At this time, the crowd on the shore gathered again.

The boat docked, and Cao Yan and the others got off the boat.

People have been arranged on the shore, and through countless ropes, they have asked people to drag the sperm whales to the shore.

With that trumpet.

Looking at the sperm whale being dragged to the shore, everyone gathered around Cao Yan.

They didn't know how to deal with it, and they were waiting for Cao Yan's arrangement.

"The skin should be cut as large as possible," I can't get cotton this year, I only got some cotton seeds, and now cotton is still an ornamental flower, called white stacks.

Now Cao Yan is going to get more leather, ready to make some leather clothes and leather shoes for the winter, these shoes made of mille-feuille soles are really a bit awkward, and now this rubber is also out, so are the leather shoes still far away?

It's really not good, you can also make a leather sofa, and you can make a lot of money.

"Yes!" The people around nodded in response, indicating that they had heard.

"If it's meat," Cao Yan looked at the people around him, "keep some for yourself, and give the rest to these people." ”

"All those greases are refined into oil, which can be used as candles or lubricants in the future."

"Don't worry about those internal organs or something, by the way, tell everyone that it's best not to eat them," Cao Yan was a little worried, the whale's internal organs were poisonous or heavy metals or something, and he was afraid that everyone would eat it well.

"By the way, remember to pull out the whale tendon, wait and ask who wants to make a bow, oh, the most important thing is to look for it to see if there is anything gray or slightly black in its intestines, that thing is starting to stink a little, you remember to bring a mask to get it, okay, that's all, you can do it."

"Okay, uncle."

……

The force value is high, and there are many people who do it.

A lot of people went over with sharp knives.

Half a day later, the whale on the shore was decomposed except for the internal organs, and the skeleton was left there.

Although the smell of cutting its intestines was a little unpleasant, everyone did it seriously.

A lot of gray or blackish stones were found from the intestines of this sperm whale, weighing hundreds of pounds, but the smell of this thing was really stinky.

When everyone brought everything up, the smell was windy and smelled for miles.

Smoke everyone to death.

Especially Lin Yueru, she scolded with a dark face: "Cao Sanhuo, why are you moving home?" ”

Cao Yan looked at the pile of stones in front of him, although he also hated its smell, but he still refused to show weakness on his lips, first glanced at her, and then sarcastically said: "You know a fart, this is ambergris, understand?" ”

Lin Yueru covered her nose and circled around these things a few times, although she had heard the name, but she had never seen the real thing, she asked a little uncertainly: "Shouldn't ambergris be fragrant?" ”

"This will be stored for a while before it becomes fragrant, that, come a few people, carry these things to a separate warehouse and put them away," Cao Yan ordered, he didn't want the things in his warehouse to be smoked and smelly.

……

In the afternoon, Xiang Wenxuan, who got the news, and the old general of Feng Xiangfeng came to Linjiazhuang in a carriage.

Feng Cheng happened to be a guest in Xiang Wang's Mansion today, and when he got the news that Xiang Yixin sent someone back, this made the two of them have a strong interest, and they both wanted to see what the legendary Kun looked like.

The carriage was driven directly to the vicinity of the pier.

As soon as a few people got out of the carriage, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

On the high platform in the distance, Cao Yan was directing everyone, busy.

They didn't lean forward, firstly, there were too many people in that place, and it was too messy, second, they were afraid of disturbing Cao Yan, and third, Xiang Yixin and the others were also staying here and did not approach.

"What's that?" The wind bearer did not speak of the whale first, but pointed to the huge silver-white battleship on the river.

Xiang Wenxuan was a little proud, he had personally been on the boat, although it didn't start at that time, but this did not prevent him from pretending to be forced: "General Feng, that's a ship!" ”

"Boat?" The wind carried the battleship on the river, there were no sails, only a few large chimneys, and a little white smoke was emitting, and the side of the ship was so high, it was estimated that it was not easy to row manually, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "How does the ship move?" And it looks so bright, what kind of paint is it? ”

"Hehe, you don't understand, that ship is made of steel and powered by a steam engine." Although Xiang Wenxuan didn't know what the steam engine was, he could just say it.

"Made of iron? Won't it sink this way? Wind carried asked suspiciously.

Xiang Wenxuan laughed, "General Feng, don't say this in front of Cao Xian's nephew." He remembered that when Cao Yan said that the ship was made of steel, he was told that it would sink by his daughter and Zhong Xinyi and others, and Cao Yan's face was a little bad when he heard this.

"Virtuous nephew? Is the prince preparing ......? Feng Bearing was shocked, this news can be regarded as heavy news.

"En," Xiang Wenxuan nodded, he was ready to win over Cao Yan fiercely, if such a capable person didn't come to serve his daughter, would he still wait for him to take refuge in others?

"In this way, that contemptible person has a reluctant request, and I hope that the prince will help match the bridge." Knowing Xiang Wenxuan's plan, Feng Zheng immediately made up his mind.

"Oh, I don't know what's going on?" Xiang Wenxuan asked.

"Even this little girl in my family also wants to worship the eldest lady of the Lin family as a teacher." Feng Qingluan, who looked at his side and was curiously looking at things in the river, said.

Xiang Wenxuan looked at Feng Qingluan, who turned his head when he heard this, and pondered for a while, this girl's achievements should not be low! If the relationship between the two families can be brought closer, it is not indispensable, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay!" I'll help you later. ”

"Lord Xie,"

"Thank you, Uncle Xiang." Feng Qingluan also hurriedly thanked him.

A few people chatted, walked to the river, and when they observed the whale up close, they felt a deep shock.

"That's too big, isn't it? If this bite goes down, it is estimated that the boats in the river are not enough for it to swallow, right? The wind carried the cold air and said.

"yes, I don't know how they caught it." Feng Qingluan was also very curious, looking at the little busy person who was on the whale, and secretly guessed that this should not be human.

Of course, looking at the half-dismembered whale, everyone couldn't guess either.

"It's okay, just wait and ask Yixin."
