A pot of whale oil is boiled.

It didn't take long for everyone to discover a serious problem.

There are not enough buckets of oil.

The sailors didn't care, and took out their own washbasins and footbaths, but it was still far from enough.

In line with the principle of absolutely no waste.

The sailors began to go around borrowing barrels.

Fortunately, the people of Ningbo are grateful for the preparation of the guards.

Everyone understands that even if this big yellow croaker is sold for ten or twenty yuan, it still does not worry about sales, but it is still sold for ten yuan, and it is a person who saves people.

Many people survived because of this.

People have a simple concept, you saved me, that is, I have a grace, this kindness may not be able to I yet, but to borrow a bucket, it is a small meaning.

Many people are in a hurry to bring their foot basins, basins, bathtubs and buckets, and countless basins are piled up on this beach.

A pot of oil, enough nearly 100,000 catties, after heating and cooling, put it into the basin, and gradually began to solidify.

Tang Yin followed his teacher's method, took a few spoonfuls of oil, inserted a wick, and then ordered someone to take a fire fold and light it.

Wen Yansheng is still reluctant to leave, in his life, since this guard came, he has become more and more knowledgeable.

I thought that this oil was to be eaten.

couldn't help but drool a little, but when Tang Yin used it as wax, he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, and swallowed the saliva back, don't mess with it.

The wick lit up and shone brightly.

The light is much brighter than a candle flame.

Wen Yansheng is a reader, and the reader loves to read at night, and when he saw this bright light, he was happy: "This light is quite bright." ”

The two of them have returned to the water village, the whale oil of the three taels is lit like this, the room is bright, the two of them have been greeting for a while, Wen Yansheng can't help but look at the oil, and can't help but gasp: "This whale oil, lit for so long, almost no trace of loss can be seen with the naked eye." ”

Ordinary candles, in an hour, are almost gone, and this whale oil ......

"It's a treasure." Wen Yansheng eyebrows fluttered and said: "Nearly 100,000 catties of oil, but I don't know how many candles can be made, they can be burned for so long. ”

Tang Yin was also shocked in his heart.

Lighting in this era, but it is a very luxurious thing, the reader only lights the candle at night, the average person, where is willing to give up at night, on the one hand, the candle is expensive, and the second is that the candle is not burned, and only the light of cardamom, not only eye-catching, and not bright enough.

Now with this whale oil, who would use that ordinary candle.

"A giant fish can boil so much oil, if so, catch more, how much can this produce per year? That's a good thing. ”

Wen Yansheng praised it.

Tang Yin was also very shocked in his heart, according to this calculation, two taels of oil can burn for five hours, enough for ordinary people to use for four or five days, and one catty of sixteen taels, two taels into a candle, one catty is eight candles, 100,000 catties of oil, is a candle of nearly a million, this is just a whale, if it comes down in January, catch more, even if this candle is only sold for one or two pennies, it is a terrible number.

Of course, Beiwei doesn't have to make wax by himself, just sell these whale oils, I'm afraid that some people are willing to make wax on their behalf, and this year, there are countless profits.

Now there is only one ship for the guards, what if there are more?

…………

Noon.

Wen Yansheng was already busy.

A load of whale meat was delivered directly to the house.

He happily ordered someone to cook a piece, put a little salt, and when he ate it, it was fishy, Wen Yansheng shook his head, but this whale meat is not like fish meat, but with a stream...... Beef chewiness.

The long entourage on the side looked at the prefect.

Wen Yansheng wanted to say that it was similar to beef, and just about to speak, he swallowed it back cautiously, although beef can be slaughtered as long as there are official documents, but because cattle are good helpers for farming, people are more or less disgusted with the behavior of eating beef.

"This meat is tender and tendonous, the meat quality is good, but there is a fishy smell, which is a pity." He smiled, actually...... He misses the beef he had eaten a few years ago, it was really a nostalgic day, it tasted really good, but unfortunately, even for him, it was a luxury to be able to eat beef, he continued: "But if you can hide its fishy, it will be a delicacy, so ......"

After thinking about it, he turned the chopsticks in his hand, with a confident calmness on his face, and said slowly: "Don't steam and stew this meat in the future, but fry it dryly, put hot oil first, wait for the hot oil to boil, and then put peppercorns, sauces, green onions and ginger and other things, of course, only put a little in moderation, put too much, but lose its taste." After it is cooked, don't rush to the pot first, put a small handful of celery, a little drop of aged vinegar, stir-fry one or two, and then put it on the pot, and try it. ”

The cooks in the dormitory are all laborers, usually recruited by the government, or carry sedan chairs for officials, or work as servants in the kitchen, or open the way for them, if they are miserable, they are hard labor. Therefore, the labor in the kitchen is actually the most leisurely, the food is good, only responsible for the official's three meals, comfortable, but can be a cook in the prefect's yamen, but it is inevitably a little bad.

There were too many tricks in the prefect's house, and every now and then there was a new dish, and the head of the conversation was the Tao, and the tricks were renovated, which made the cook feel that his brain was a little insufficient.

After cooking the dry-fried whale meat according to Wen Yansheng's method, Wen Yansheng took the chopsticks and tasted it, and suddenly, his eyebrows opened and smiled: "This is a delicacy, tender and tendony, very refreshing, good, good, I will cook according to this method in the future." ”

Today, only this dry fried whale meat is eaten, the taste is surprisingly good, and he pats his belly comfortably, making people pour a mouthful of fragrant tea: "In the future, we will have a good mouth in Ningbo Mansion, three or five pennies a pound of meat, a penny a pound of fish, where can I find this?"

"Master, you said, after catching such a big fish, if at this time, the master plays and reports an auspicious rui, wouldn't this be another great achievement?"

Wen Yansheng was silent for a moment, shook his head: "This merit has nothing to do with the old man, this is the credit of others, whether you want to repay auspicious rui, whether you want to offer treasure, this is all Tang Xiu's business, the old man is only responsible for eating, this credit, but there is no need to take it, he is a young man, different from the old man, the old man is old, the heart of fame and fortune has long faded, he can be an official for one term, be the official of this parent, do not be greedy or occupied, barely be able to do some masters for the people, and he can change his tricks every day, eat so many delicacies from the mountains and seas, he knows that it is enough, the credit is ......... Don't, don't. ”

Humming a little song happily.

………………

After learning that whale oil can be used to make candles, and it is the best candle, almost all whale oil was quickly sold out.

The silver for the sale of meat and oil was eight thousand taels at one time.

What a terrifying number, it's just a trip back and forth.

Tang Yin had never seen so much silver, and he scared himself to death, and while ordering the craftsmen to improve the bows and crossbows for this fishing of the giant fish, he also asked people to reinforce the hull, and at the same time, he was determined to order a new boat.

The remaining silver is naturally a direct reward for officers and soldiers.

The sailors got the silver, all of them smiled, more energetic, one by one screaming to go whaling, this trip, but everyone seven or eight taels of silver, but more than catching yellow croaker reward, a few more in a month, dozens of taels of silver will be in hand.

These guys who are not afraid of death, as long as they have money, they dare to do anything, and they all take the initiative to ask for help, and they are all unwilling to lag behind.

Tang Yin closed the door, repaired a letter and a letter, and ordered people to transport it quickly along with the skeleton of the giant whale.

To transport goods from Ningbo to Beijing, if you first use a sea ship to take a sea route and send it to Hangzhou, and then Hangzhou Caoyun will send it to Beijing from the canal, if it is faster, it will take more than 20 days to arrive.

This guard has begun to gradually get on the right track.

If there is no new ship, there is no way to expand the army, but to build a ship, it takes a lot of time, which is also Tang Yin's most troubled place.

………………

A rout of the Japanese army made it impossible for the military department to raise its head.

Ma Wensheng hasn't been bouncing much lately.

But at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is connected to the music, of course, this music is played by Fang Jifan, the two of them searched the intestines and scraped their stomachs, to be honest, they are really not the materials to write the music, staring at the old man for a long time, Fang Jifan took a shot: "Yes, according to the three treasures eunuch when he wrote the book." ”

"What, do you still recognize the Three Treasures Eunuch?" Zhu Houzhao lay on the desk.

Fang Jifan despised him, and then remembered that after the death of Emperor Wen, when Emperor Renzong ascended the throne and wanted to stop going to the West, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, wrote angrily: "If you want the country to be rich and strong, you can't ignore the ocean." Wealth comes from the sea, and danger comes from the sea. …… Once the king of another country conquers the West, China is in danger. China's fleet is invincible, and it can be used to expand business, subdue foreign lands, and make it dare not covet the South Seas. ”

"The Three Treasures Eunuch said these things?" Zhu Houzhao lay on the desk and began to copy.

Fang Jifan said: "I said it." ”

"Oh."

Fang Jifan added: "On the ocean, there are countless fish, this is meat, inexhaustible, if fishing, it can relieve the dilemma of the court without food, and can make the people satisfy their appetites, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded again: "It's very good, but it's ......."

Zhu Houzhao stopped his pen: "Old Fang, in order to snatch the remaining few sea ships from the Ministry of War to our town, are we a little bit desperate, it is better for the palace to ask for it directly from the emperor." ”

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao felt that his self-esteem was stimulated: "Why can't I come, this palace is the son of my father, dear." ”

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "The minister knows, this is the biggest problem, just because he is his own son, His Royal Highness can still live until now, otherwise it will ......"

"Otherwise what?"

Fang Jifan raised his head and looked at Fang Liang: "Otherwise, you are not Your Majesty's son, and you have no brain disease, although Your Majesty is generous, I am afraid that you have already died a hundred times, and the minister is a little upright in his speech, don't mind." ”
