Chapter 161: Roshan

Zhao Zizhong ordered the guards to help pull the rope, and everyone ran to the beach, pulling the rope together, dragging hard.

The animals of the convoy were really powerful, they shouted the trumpet, and little by little pulled the ropes to the shore, and the whales floating on the surface of the sea slowly approached the beach, and finally ran aground in the knee-deep water.

Zhao Zizhong asked Du Dalei: "What now?" Is it right here to dismantle the whales? ”

Du Dalei asked, "Boss, did you bring a knife?" ”

Zhao Zizhong slapped his head, "I didn't bring it, I didn't think about it at all." ”

Boris said: "I have a way, this place is very close to Lao Wei's blacksmithing workshop, there must be many cold weapons there." ”

Zhao Zizhong immediately sent more than a dozen guards and asked them to go to the weapon workshop and bring some knives, axes and other weapons.

The guards immediately ran away, and Zhao Zizhong asked everyone to continue their efforts and drag another whale up.

Everyone began to drag the rope again, and after more than half an hour, the second whale was also dragged to the shallow water on the beach.

At this time, a large group of people came to the beach, and there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages. When everyone looked at it, they were men, women, and children, dressed in a variety of clothes, and they should be new homeless.

Cui Zhaorong and Hu Shuiyang walked in the front, and when they saw a few brothers, Cui Zhaorong said loudly: "A few gentlemen, Xiao Hu and I have brought more than 400 people and asked them to help with the work. ”

Hu Shuiyang continued: "I left more than 200 people to continue to build shacks in the valley to the south, and everyone else came. I'm going to have a good taste of whale meat in a moment, hahaha! ”

Cui Zhaorong said again: "I also brought some tools, including knives, axes, saws, sickles, etc., let's do it, clean up the whale." It's already hot now, and if you don't deal with it quickly, the whale's meat will soon stink. ”

Boris said: "You can't eat so much meat, you have to salt some of it." ”

Everyone said that this was a good solution, and Cui Zhaorong let the wagon unload the goods, and then returned to the camp to collect as many containers as possible to hold the whale meat. Then send a wagon to the warehouse by the dock and bring in some salt to marinate the whale meat.

Du Dalei picked up a sharp knife and said loudly: "Lao Tzu moves the first knife, you are all optimistic, what do I do, you just follow the cat and the tiger." ”

He walked to the belly of the whale, stabbed it fiercely, and then strained downward, breaking a large hole more than a meter long.

An indescribable stench emanated from the mouth in the whale's abdomen, and Du Dalei immediately ran out more than thirty meters away, and vomited.

The brothers all felt inexplicable, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you spitting? ”

"It stinks! I just can't take it anymore. ”

At this time, the people on the beach smelled the stench, many covered their mouths and noses, and some ran away from the distance.

Du Dalei spit out a few more mouthfuls, and then said: "I heard that the internal organs of whales contain a lot of oil, and we should immediately mobilize everyone to start chopping up the internal organs and start boiling oil." ”

Boris thought about it and said: "There are many water tanks and large clay pots on the warship, which can be carried over and let the displaced people boil oil. ”

Everyone agreed, and An Dalang sent an escort to the dock to have the ship's sailors bring the water tanks and clay pots.

Du Dalei tore off a piece of cloth from the placket, tied it tightly behind his head, and covered his mouth and nose. He picked up the knife, walked over to the opening in the whale's belly, and began to cut the whale.

Zhao Zizhong was also like Du Dalei, covering his mouth and nose with a cloth, following him, and began to divide the whale.

When the people of the escort saw the leader taking the lead, they all picked up knives and axes and other tools, walked over and began to cut the two whales.

The homeless people watched from the beach, and none of them went to work. Hu Shuiyang was very angry and said loudly: "If anyone doesn't work, they won't be allowed to eat for three days!" Lao Tzu does what he says! ”

The homeless people were frightened, and some of them came out with tools and began to dissect the whale.

Most of the displaced people stood empty-handed, watching. After a while, a dozen guards returned, driving a carriage full of all kinds of cold weapons, mostly war knives, axes, but also some kitchen knives, sickles and other tools. These are all newly produced by Wei Hongye's workshop.

Under the command of Hu Shuiyang, the displaced people lined up to pick up weapons and tools, and they all went over to start cutting whales.

The whale's abdomen was completely cut open, and everyone pulled out all the internal organs, and then began to cut the internal organs.

Enduring the stench, the guards and outcasts cut the entrails into table-sized pieces, then dragged them off to the distance and began to divide them.

Others began to skin the whales, cut the skins into pieces, and then rolled them all up and prepared to be sent to the leather workshops.

After peeling the skin, a pink fat layer is revealed. Du Dalei instructed everyone to begin to cut the fat open, revealing the muscles underneath.

Everyone is busy, some people are responsible for cutting the fat, and the other is cutting the whale meat.

After more than an hour, the sailors drove the wagons and brought the water tanks and large clay pots.

Hu Shuiyang instructed the displaced people to collect firewood and cut down small trees. Then dig some pits in the beach, sit on the pits with water tanks and clay pots, and make a fire in the pit to prepare the oil.

Fist-sized pieces of offal were put into water tanks and clay pots, and oil began to boil. After a while, the internal organs slowly melted, the grease was boiled out, and the beach was filled with an indescribable smell.

The sun slowly sets in the west, and the sunset fills the western sky. Everyone was in full swing, and the whale's flesh was cut off little by little, slowly revealing a huge skeleton.

Cui Zhaorong returned with many people, all of whom had just finished work in the camp, and he asked the women to set up the cauldron and start cooking. Then he sent for some whale meat, washed it, and began to stew it.

It was getting dark, bonfires were lit on the beach, the food was cooked, everyone took turns eating, and then went back to work.

Zhao Zizhong was holding a bowl of rice, with a few pieces of whale meat piled on it, he found Cui Zhaorong and Hu Shuiyang who were eating, squatted down and said, "It seems that we are going to work all night today, we have to hurry up and finish dealing with the whales." In this way, those who worked all night today will be given bonuses, and the new homeless people will also give some money to make them more motivated. ”

Cui Zhaorong and Hu Shuiyang agreed to pass on the good news.

The cheers on the beach came and went, and everyone was very happy, more motivated, and working hard.

At this time, Jiang Wuniang, Shen's family, Cui Xiaoniang and the teachers of the school all came. followed by Wei Hongye and Na Zhe.

Cui Xiaoniang was the first to run over and shouted excitedly: "Such a fun thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Boris looked back at her and said sullenly: "Sister, it stinks too much here, you little girl, what are you mixing with?" ”

Cui Xiaoniang pouted: "It's very stinky, but it's fun!" I've never seen a fish of this size since I was a child. ”

Fu Hongyu walked to Du Dalei who was working, stretched out her finger curiously, poked the whale meat and asked, "How is it, is it fun to go to sea?" ”

Du Dalei looked back at her and said proudly: "Of course it's fun!" You haven't seen such a spectacular scene. We chased a group of whales, firing crossbow arrows and screaming whales. Hahaha! ”

An Dalang next to him immediately exposed him, "Call a fart, Fu Niangzi, don't listen to his nonsense." Do whales call? He just can brag. ”

The people working next to him laughed, and some of the guards began to bury Du Dalei, saying that he was talking nonsense.

Du Dalei was not angry, and looked at Fu Hongyu and smirked.

Xia Rongniang walked up to An Dalang and said softly, "Husband, have you eaten?" ”

An Dalang said with a smile: "I have eaten it, and I have eaten whale meat." That stuff was delicious, about the same as beef. You'll try it later, and it tastes good. ”

Jiang Wuniang walked up to Zhao Zizhong, smiled at him, snatched the knife in his hand, and began to cut the whale meat.

Zhao Zizhong said helplessly: "Wu Niang, I'll come, you should rest by the side." ”

Jiang Wuniang shook her head and continued to work. One of the guards next to him whispered to his companion, "See, this woman is the leader's mother-in-law." She doesn't have any shelves at all, and she works like everyone else. ”

The companion thought about it and said, "I see, a new nation will surely be formed here in the future." Then the leader will be the emperor, and Jiang Niangzi will definitely be the queen. My dear mother, we are now working with the emperor and the empress! ”

Everyone worked hard, and when they were hungry, they went to eat the stewed whale meat, then drank a bowl of hot water and continued to work.

The whale meat is piled up on the beach and looks spectacular. Choi directs the women to put the meat cut into small pieces into clay pots, then sprinkle in some salt to marinate the whale meat.

The men poured the boiled oil into empty jars and collected the remains of the entrails to be transported to the fields to be used as fertilizer.

Cui Xiaoniang was wandering around on the beach, asking this and that curiously, looking very excited. She walked up to Wei Hongye, who was working, and saw that Wei Hongye was sawing through the huge bones with a hacksaw, so she asked, "Second brother, what is the use of these bones?" ”

Wei Hongye said with a smile: "It is very useful, these bones can be boiled out of high-quality glue, which is used to stick things, and it is very strong." The waste from boiling glue can also be used as fertilizer to increase grain production. ”

Cui Xiaoniang asked again: "Second brother, I heard Boris say just now that whales are not fishes, they are mammals. What is a mammal? ”

"Mammals are animals that grow up eating their mother's milk. Cows, sheep, horses, monkeys, whales, and people are all mammals. ”

"People are also animals? Are whales raised on milk? ”

Wei Hongye nodded and said: "Man is also a species of animal, and monkeys are related in ancient times. The difference between humans and animals is that we make tools and use tools. ”
