Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 843 Refusal to Give Credit

Regarding these two monsters, Zhang Zhongjian said:
"Four days ago, on the sea about [-] miles north from here, my people encountered these two monsters. They were not dead yet, and they were still moving. Judging by the posture, no one intends to let the other go. They are going to die together. Definitely. It took two days to go back and die completely. I heard from the old fisherman over there that this kind of long-legged monster is said to be active under the water surface of a hundred feet from the older generation. It is rare to see it on the sea.”

Zhang Zhongjian talked about the information he had collected, while Qin Qiong and Li Daozong listened very carefully.

But Liu Mu asked someone to fetch his own iron plate.

Qin Qiong and Li Daozong were still sighing with emotion for this giant beast. The iron plate of Liumu was already hot, and Liumu himself came to the king squid with a knife in his hand, and chopped it down with all his strength.

With this knife, the cut was only less than five inches deep.

Liu Mu said to himself: "That's enough, I'm definitely No.1 among the code farmers in the new era who have eaten king squid."

Liu Mu believes that he is definitely the first one among the code farmers to eat this thing.

Throw the horizontal knife aside, and change to the pocket knife.Willow cut several paper-thin slices and returned to his iron plate, and the sound of sizzling came from the iron plate.

"It's so hard, so hard to bite." Liu Mu complained about Fei Ya, and at the same time went to get a knife to cut thin slices.

"Send the word, whoever sees it will have a share, do it." Qin Qiong shouted, and the guards behind him took out the Mo Dao and rushed forward.

People in the Tang Dynasty have seen squid before, and there is a blind hemostatic drug called sea scorpion in the medical hall, which is cuttlefish bone.

It's just so huge, who really sees it once.

Nearly a hundred guards quickly divided the king squid into countless small pieces, leaving the top-quality lean meat, and sending the rest to the mining area to improve the food for the miners.

The person who handled the whale Zhang Zhongjian had experience. As early as the end of the Jin Dynasty, Heishui Mohe used whale oil to pay tribute to the Central Plains.

To Zhang Zhongjian's surprise, Liu Mu, who likes cleanliness so much, was interested in that stinking whale gut.

"You guys, quickly carry these intestines to the stone over there."

A huge whale with a body length of several meters has a large pile of intestines. After being cut open and left there to dry, the stench can waft ten miles away. Qin Qiong ordered someone to carry it farther away.

"Each person will be rewarded fifty big coins, hahaha." Liu Mu smiled cheerfully.

Willow not only arranged for people to dry it, but also sent people to guard it, and no one was allowed to steal even a small piece.

Sitting back at the wine table, Qin Qiong asked Liu Mu, "What's so special about the fish intestines?"

"This is my gift to the queen."

"Stinky poop?" Li Daozong suspected that Liu Mu was not stupid.

Liu Mu lowered his voice and said: "It has been said since ancient times that whales that eat king squid will turn the indigestible part of the king squid they eat into a black or dark gray lump, which exists in the whale's intestines for a long time. There are two ways available."

"Let's talk about what it is first." Li Daozong knew that Liu Mu's knowledge was extremely extensive, so this must be a treasure.

Liu Mu stretched out three fingers: "Three words."

"What?" Qin Qiong, Zhang Zhongjian, and Li Daozong all came together.

"Dragon, saliva, fragrance."

"Ah..." Zhang Zhongjian stood up abruptly, and shouted to his subordinates: "You guys, hurry up and take those intestines back to me, don't leave any scum behind."

"What are you doing, this is a gift from you." Liu Mu was in a hurry.

"Nonsense, what I sent is a monster, not counting the contents of the monster's body. A piece the size of a fist is worth ten catties of gold. This is an extremely rare spice." Zhang Zhongjian was unwilling to give this thing to Liumu no matter what.

Liu Mu sighed slightly: "If you say you don't understand, you really don't understand."

"Nonsense, don't fool the boss. Third sister said that you can raise the sun from the west with one mouth. I don't listen to you."

Li Daozong said slowly: "It has been said since ancient times that in the Han Dynasty, a fisherman caught some gray and fragrant wax blocks from the sea and offered them to the palace. No one knew what they were. The saliva of the dragon. It seems that the truth is the same, the giant whale is not the dragon in the sea."

"Well, let me be honest, the ones taken from the intestines are useless at all. This thing needs to be soaked in sea water for at least 30 years to turn dark gray, gray, light gray, until it turns white to be the real top grade. It takes more than a hundred years to turn white. If you just take it out and soak it in the sea for three years, it will turn brown and be barely usable.”

"Really?" Zhang Zhong believed half of it.

"Really, most of the ambergris is vomited by the sperm whale's stomach, and a small part is pulled out. There is also a sperm whale that is dead and scattered into the sea."

"Okay, it's up to those who see it." Zhang Zhongjian changed his mind. He knew that if he took all of them away like this, it would really stink at home, so he still asked Liu Mu how to brew this thing.

"It's actually very simple. Build a small pond with flowing sea water and throw it in. As long as there is running water every day, the ambergris will be left for at most half a year. After a year of persistence, there will be a faint fragrance. After three years It’s just spices, and it’s a treasure starting from 30 years old, and the longer the age, the higher the value.”

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head: "I'm not asking about this, I can pick it up there."

"En!" Liu Mu shook his head: "I won't tell you."

"I don't listen to your news for nothing." Zhang Zhongjian was about to make an offer.

Liu Mu turned to Liu Rengui: "Third brother-in-law, I have a job..."

This time, as soon as Liu Mu opened his mouth, Liu Rengui's expression changed, becoming ugly, he stood up and clasped his fists together: "I still have some work to do, the silver ship sets sail tomorrow morning, I'll go to the pier to check."

"Why are you running?" Zhang Zhongjian didn't understand at all, it was about making a fortune, but Liu Rengui wanted to run away.

Qin Qiong pulled Liu Rengui and motioned for Liu Rengui to sit down: "There are people at the pier, your Beihai Navy is only responsible for leading the way, and they will do the guarding themselves. If it is not the first time you come here, you don't need to trouble your fleet. Sit down and drink."

Qin Qiong stopped, Liu Rengui was really not easy to leave.

After sitting down, Liu Rengui said, "I have hands and feet, and I have official duties."

The more Zhang Zhongjian listened, the more confused he became. He didn't understand what Liu Rengui meant by saying that suddenly. He looked at Qin Qiong, who also shook his head to express his incomprehension.

Only Li Daozong understood.

"I understand. This kid is disliked. Disliked Mu is going to give him some credit. He doesn't intend to take it. He thinks it's humiliating him."

Zhang Zhongjian laughed loudly: "Bring it, I will take all the credit for me, I don't dislike it. I will definitely not be as stupid as this melon."

Liu Rengui lowered his head and darkened his face, looking unhappy.
