Chapter 105: A Big Fish Comes to the Door
The male humpback whale struggled one last time, and finally stopped moving, and honestly lay on the surface of the sea, undulating with the waves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Wan Shida saw Gu Jianshan throw a harpoon, the harpoon forked diagonally on the humpback whale, and this half-sized boy did not have enough physical strength now.
Wanshida waved and shouted for the boat to throw off the trough linen rope, and then directed the sailors to tie the humpback whale's tail.
The tail fin of a humpback whale resembles two pairs of scythes and is very easy to tie.
Those sailors skillfully tied the knot, and Wan Shida took a look at their knotting method, which was really interesting, this kind of sailor's knot they tied has not changed for thousands of years.
Captain Cai Erlang looked at the big humpback whale on the boat, and his throat clicked, this big fish is going to be five zhang long, right?! How much weight does this have to be......
That's it? It's as simple as that? The head of the Wanshida Gang is really a man of God!
Wanshida's ears did not turn red, and he now estimated that this humpback whale was about fifteen meters long, and its gross weight could be almost twenty tons?
Probably, the key issue now is to haul it back as soon as possible......
He had the harpoon drawn and the crossbow bolt packed, and the whaling spear was left on it, and he would deal with it when he got back.
If you're whaling in that world, you can also pump it into its stomach through the gas pipe, so that it can float on the surface of the sea for longer.
However, because they used a bloodletting method, they did not damage the abdominal cavity of humpback whales...... So there's a lot of air in there, enough to maintain a certain amount of buoyancy.
Bloodletting is too cruel...... Now the humpback whale is surrounded by a sea of blood.
When the waves hit the humpback whales, the waves are all pink......
Wanshida thought, when he was free, pondered the implosion whaling spear, put explosives on the inside of the spear tip, and when it penetrated into the whale's body, it exploded slightly, killing the whale quickly, so as to save labor.
However, now it is necessary to take a good look at Captain Cai Erlang's means of sailing, and there will be some trouble when dragging it to sail.
The question is, is he still scared now?
Captain Cai Erlang said generously at this time: "Afraid? A certain has been to the country of Persia...... I have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in my life, so why be afraid? ”
That's good, let's go back quickly.
Captain Cai Erlang personally took the helm and commanded the sailors to operate the sails, skillfully using the side headwind to move all the way, but it did not affect the speed of the ship too much, and returned to the estuary area in three or five days.
Really hit the big fish male...... Humpback whale!
The time they arrived at the estuary pier was about three o'clock in the afternoon.
This humpback whale not only overjoyed the people in the estuary area, but also scared Huang Zuxiang's head!
Big Fish Male, he's seen too much, but he's never had the idea of killing it!
He looked at the big sea ship painted with two rings and one upright, and felt as if it had something to do with the bed crossbow on it.
The whaling cannon had been recoated with tung oil and wrapped in tarpaulin, and he didn't pay attention to it.
It's okay to use a bed crossbow like this?!
At this time, Huang Zu saw hundreds of people coming forward, they put on ropes, shouted and pulled the big fish man to the river beach.
Wu Dapeng said to him quietly: "There is nothing that we can't do here......
Huang Zuxiang was speechless for a moment.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Previously, just a few days after Huang Zuxiangshou left Wu Dapeng City, he received an official letter from the Jin/Jiang County Governor, asking him to go to the so-called Liuqiu Island to obey the orders of the Lord Yin Di'an Wu Dapeng City.
Huang Zu was holding this official document at that time, and his feelings were complicated.
In fact, he had long wanted to go to Wu Dapeng City, and he still wanted to understand the scientific formation, but he felt that there was something special about that person, which made people not like it very much!
Thinking about his words repeatedly, it seems that some of them make sense, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of flaws!
If everyone only thinks about themselves, what will the world be?!
What's even more ridiculous is how people can live only for fame and fortune!!
But he has a so-called "scientific" formation that can break the Tatar iron horseman......
Is there really such a formation? Don't dare to doubt it......
Judging from the official documents of the Jin/Jiang County Lieutenant, this person is indeed going to pray for the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty...... There will still be such characters in the world!
So it felt extremely contradictory for a while......
But in any case, this is the order of the Jin/Jiang County Lieutenant, and he must listen to it.
He asked people to pack up the belongings in the Pinghu village, and the box fields that had just been opened were given to the fishermen in the station, so that they would not be abandoned again.
I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a few years.
However, he was not in a hurry to return to his hometown, because he had conceived a lot of formations, and through deduction on paper, coupled with actual military drills, he denied them one by one, and he really couldn't stop the Tatar iron horsemen!
He naturally cared about the so-called "scientific" formation...... He might have a way.
He took two sea boats all the way to the east, and when he reached the coast of Liuqiu, he followed the coast to find the mouth of the so-called Badao River, and it did not take much trouble.
The so-called Badaohe estuary, for fear that others would not know where it was, actually built a bamboo building several zhang high, and hung red, green, and yellow flags on it, I really don't know what it means.
And from a distance, the three flags began to wave one after another, and I don't know what it meant.
As they approached the estuary, the people on the wharf at the mouth of the Badao River seemed to know that they were coming...... Hehe, it must have something to do with that flag.
Fortunately, his two sea-going boats had been repaired beforehand, and at this time they were arranged to be useful.
The village here is much larger than my own Pinghu village......
He stood on the deck and looked at the wall made of green bamboo, and saw the big bamboo gate, if it was really as they said, it was only less than a month, and they had become the climate here, and there were indeed two times.
Wu Dapeng Shibo personally greeted him at the dock, this time is the time to ask for rapid development, one more person and one more strength, not to mention such a helper who brings his own rations?
The overall situation still has to be there, and it is not rare to be the same as him.
Wu Dapeng expressed his warm welcome, and the two of them shouted at the dock for a while, and the scene was very touching.
All the unhappiness seems to be left behind.
At this time, the sound of gongs came from the tall bamboo building.
Wu Dapeng looked up, and there was a flag on it again.
It's my own ship that has returned!
This flag is Wu Dapeng directly borrowed the flag of the world, but it is very simple, whether it is his own ship or someone else's ship, how many are there, whether there is danger or not, just a few meanings.
Zhang Depei, a half-grown child, learned quickly, and he was pulled out of the hunting team and played flags on the bamboo building.
At first, he felt interesting, but he couldn't stand it in less than two days, this job was too boring, where was there happiness with his friends.
Wu Dapeng's request at that time was very simple, if you can teach the other two people, you can come down.
Zhang Depei then carefully taught the other two sentinels who were picked out, and found that things that were easy for him were difficult for others, so teach them slowly.
In this way, the news of the arrival of the two sea boats at the head of Huang Zu's carriage was quickly known to the people at the dock.
When Wanshida's ship returned, everyone quickly found out.
Everyone was excited by this big fish, God, this big fishman who is lying down is taller than a person, how many people are enough to eat?!
Wanshida led the sailors and began to operate.
He first arranged for people to take out all the iron pots that could be used, and set up the stove for oil refining in a while.
Song Ziqiang immediately decided to cast a super large iron pot in the next two days......
Wan Shida led two sailors to the back of the humpback whale first, and made a horizontal cut in its neck with a machete, and found that the force was small, and it did not cut the fat layer, so he used some force.
He pointed to the marks he had cut and said to the other two sailors, "See? Cut open its skin like this. ”
The two sailors understood, and immediately learned to chop the humpback whale's back.
Wanshida asked the sailors below to throw the rope, and then pierced the three-inch-thick skin and let them pull together.
Two or three people couldn't pull it, so they watched the lively dozen or so, they shouted slogans and dragged hard, but with a huge tearing sound, a large piece of relatively intact whale skin was torn off, and even the barnacles that had been attached to it were rolled inside.
This leather is good, as long as it is tanned well, how many leather goods such as leather shoes can be made?!
They don't have to worry about this, and the Great Song Leatherman said that he could get it right.
Wanshida had already jumped off the back of a humpback whale and began to act as a scene conductor.
The other two sailors also followed the example of Wanshida, and soon they were given several large pieces of skin.
The hole in this big skin is not afraid, because the skin is big enough.
Humpback whales have now become a mountain of white flowers, and the blood has long been cleaned.
Wan Shida used a knife to cut out a "mouth" on the mountain of meat, and then asked people to bring a large wooden basin, he used all his strength, and a large piece of fat fell into the wooden basin, which was more than ten catties.
When the humpback whale is now wintering in the warm South China Sea, because it eats too much plankton, it is the time when it is fat and strong, and the fat layer is more than two feet thick!
He is not satisfied, if he kills the killer whale known as the oil hyacinth, the fat will be thicker.
His men were very clever and immediately took it away and sent it to the iron pot to be used for oil refining.
The rest of the people immediately understood what to do.
They spread thick dry reeds on the beach, and some of them had nothing to hold, so they cut them down and piled them up for the time being.
The whole estuary area soon filled the air with the aroma of lard.
The meat and internal organs of the humpback whale are easy to handle, except for the bitter gall used to make a medicine village, the rest is all edible.
Dozens of people, dozens of knives were busy.
There were still dozens of people washing their internal organs on the banks of the eight rivers.
After Wanshida finished arranging them one by one, he watched these people work with his waist crossed, and his heart was full of pride.
These Song Dynasty miscellaneous soldiers are still very capable of work, and I believe that Captain Cai Erlang, who is busy running around, will soon be obsessed with this whale hunting job.
Afraid? In the face of interests, as long as there is no danger to life, no one will be afraid.
Wu Dapeng led Huang Zu to the head and introduced the two of them.
Huang Zuxiang forked his hand and said: "Wan Gangshou really has thunderous means, I admire it!" ”
Wan Shida smiled and said, "Killing whales is a simple job, and now everyone can do it, and in a few days they can make one." ”
Huang Zuxiang nodded admiringly and said, "Do you want to go out to the sea with you?" ”
Wu Dapeng interjected and said, "No, Huang Zu, you have another work ...... work."
Wu Dapeng also took a fancy to the seventy natives he was carrying, and at a glance, he knew that they were the Asian Austronesian race, and they also had to come in handy.
