Chapter Seventy-Six: The Constipated Whale

In addition, the internal organs and bones of whales are also very useful, in addition to refining whale oil, the internal organs can also be refined into a kind of cod liver oil, which is more nutritious than ordinary cod liver oil and is a superior tonic. The bones can be boiled glue, a very, very powerful marine adhesive, and the boat board that is glued with whalebone glue is not only not afraid of blisters, but also prevents the erosion of ship maggots. The most important thing is that the glue yield of whalebone is very high, and a few large bones can boil out a few kilograms of glue, which is of great practical value for the large-scale shipbuilding industry. Moreover, these offal, bones, and processed blubber residues are also the best fertilizer, and sprinkling them into the ground can make the farmer thrive.

Finally, there is the whale skin, and those who have never seen a whale up close will definitely think that the surface of the whale skin is smooth. In fact, whale skin has a very short layer of fluff, after processing, it is a good warm material, making clothes and shoes, softer than cowhide, sheepskin, pigskin, and more resistant to water and low temperature. Anyway, everything that can be made of cowhide and sheepskin can be made of whale skin, and it can be done even better. Another advantage is the large area of whale skin, a large adult whale, to say the least, is more than ten meters long, more than ten tons of weight, the skin peeled is enough for dozens of cows, hundreds of sheep skin. Moreover, the whale skin is very thick, and even if the processing methods are not as advanced as those of later generations, it is easy to plane into several layers, and the yield is very large.

Now count them, from head to toe, almost every hair of a whale is a useful material for humans, which is the main reason why Western countries once hunted them with their lives. It is said that from the beginning of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the number of whales in the world's oceans plummeted by more than 90%, and all of them were killed by developed Western countries. In the 19th century, more than half of the country's oil lamps were lit with whale oil for decades!

"Weng Weng, find a few strong ones, sharpen the knives quickly, and I'll tell them how to slaughter whales." Hong Tao climbed on Bo Xiaoer's back for a few seconds and came down, he just had a terrible pain in his arms, and his waist and legs were still in place. At this time, the whale had been tied to several cables and pulled to the beach, Hong Tao took advantage of the light of the bonfire to take a look at the trophy, quite satisfied, not small!

Will Hong Tao slaughter whales? It's going to be a fart! But he's seen a few times on TV, let's paint a cat and a tiger, if you can't kill it, you can't kill it. Besides, the Tanka family usually slaughters pigs and chickens during the New Year's holidays, and some people do it, although there are no too professional butchers in the local people, dismembering a dead whale can still be done.

"Oh my God! Let me die! According to the method discussed by everyone, a few Tan young men stepped on the whale with machetes, and began to cut from the abdomen, just cut a two-meter-long hole in the whale's belly, and the few Tan young men ran away, and then with the sea breeze blowing on the island was a fishy and smelly smell, almost did not smoke the flood waves. Is this whale constipated? I still have gastroenteritis, and I have been in my stomach for half a year!

"What are you running, whose family is this, see if I go back and don't talk to your grandpa!" Old man Rong was really old and strong, he didn't retreat from the wind, he didn't hold his breath, and he opened his mouth and scolded loudly.

"Wrap your mouth and nose with a damp cloth and go over! Second brother, get a piece of cloth for Weng Weng as well. Hong Tao showed his kung fu at this time, not only taking care of the feelings of the working people, but also maintaining the authority of the leader, and also very close to the leader's heart. This is also an important reason why Hong Tao is willing to mix with the Tan family, they are simple, more satisfied and more controllable.

Under the joint suppression of Old Man Rong's Huwei and Hong Tao, the little fox, a group of young men from the Tan family braved the compelling stench and took turns to disintegrate this huge whale more than ten meters long into pieces of meat the size of a square table, and the fish, fat, internal organs, bones, and whale baleen were all transported onto the small wooden boat of the Tan family, which was loaded with more than 30 boats. Only the whale skin can't get the whole one, because there is really no one in the Tan family who can peel the skin, so they can only make do with it, and they can be as big as they want, and they are all rolled together and put on Hong Tao's sailboat.

When there was only a trail of blood left on the beach, the sky in the east was already dark, and a dozen people tossed and turned for a night to slaughter the whale, except for the effect of the smell, the main thing was that no one had slaughtered this thing, and they all had to grope for it. In addition, the short knife used to chop wood is not suitable for slaughtering whales, and several firewood knives were broken just to disassemble the whale bones.

"Weng Weng, I'll take these boats back to Zhenzhou first, these meat and oil can't be stored for a long time, and they will be worthless once they deteriorate. When you and others go back, you must come to Zhenzhou Port, fish oil and other things belong to me, fish and meat I will share with others, each family will keep some, stewed is very delicious, it can be regarded as the beef of our Tan family. Although Hong Tao rested for a night, his body still hurt, even more than yesterday, but his spirit was much better, and the rest was just the normal reaction of his muscles, and he could bear it. Looking at the small boat full of whale meat, Hong Tao was very anxious, and he wanted to hurry back to Zhenzhou Port to arrange the work behind. Although whale fat is not very easy to spoil, it is difficult to keep it for too long, which is a lot of wealth.

"Good boy, I have received your heart for those Tan family members. Don't worry, I'll go to Zhenzhou Port to find you in two days, Weng Weng is old, it's time to rest, I was worried that after catching the sea this time, I won't be able to take the sea tomorrow spring, now Weng Weng is relieved, the Tan family has never lacked a leader to catch the sea. Old man Rong basically didn't sleep much all night, and he kept staring at the dismemberment of the whale, but his spirit was still very strong, and his hand patting Hong Tao's back was also quite strong, and it snapped.

Before dawn, Hong Tao's sailboat raised its mainsail again, and this time he became the territorial sea man of the fleet, and a large string of small wooden boats strung together by cables behind him had to follow him back to Zhenzhou. Most of these people are old or young Tan families, in order to live they have to go out with the young adults to go out on adventures, and now with Hong Tao's whale meat, they can go back and live a good life.

Hongtao plans to sell some of these whale meat to Zhenhailou, and I believe that there will be many seafarers and wealthy people who are willing to taste what whale meat is like, and the money in exchange for Hongtao will be distributed to these Tan families. They can also take some of the whale meat and go back to marinate it, so that they can eat it for many days, and with the catch from the young people in their family who catch it from the sea, this winter should be more moisturized than in previous years.
