Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 214 Princess Emira's First Impression of Daming
Princess Emira of Aceh did not participate in the grand prisoner offering ceremony, but visited Chengtian Mansion under the arrangement of Zhu Kezang.

Walking on the streets of Chengtianfu, she could vaguely see various Ming-style classical buildings, and saw completely different square modern buildings.

These were all designed by Zhu Kezang, a student of civil engineering.

The two completely different styles made her feel like she was in the chaotic vortex of time and space.

Although Ming-style buildings are beautiful, she can feel that those new-style buildings are more compatible with roaring steam engines and smooth concrete roads.

Unknowingly, the carriage arrived at Anping Port Wharf.

The difference from welcoming Zhu Kezang yesterday is that today's Anping Port is obviously more market-like.

At this time, one after another fishing boats on the sea were constantly docking, and a fishing boat the size of a battleship caught her attention.

With a smell of stench, a fat whale carcass was hoisted from the whaling ship by the gear set driven by the dock workers with the steam engine.

This whaling ship is the "Kunpeng" produced by Anping Armory, and it belongs to the Royal Whaling Company of Ming Dynasty!

“What a big fish”

"This is a good experience. There are such big fish in the sea!"

"A fish like this probably weighs 10,000+ catties. This fish is enough to feed 10,000+ people."

"10,000+ catties may not be enough, but tens of thousands of catties must be enough."

"It's as big as an ordinary boat, and now I don't know how to get it ashore. Daming is really amazing!"

In the harbor, the spectators were talking about the huge whale in the sea. Even the well-informed Chengtian Mansion melon-eaters were dumbfounded by such a big fish.

This is the first time that the Kunpeng has returned from whaling. They have never seen a captured whale before.

As the whale was slowly hoisted down by the gear set of the steam engine, Emira looked at the fin whale and exclaimed, "Da Ming, it's so terrifying!"

The little court lady serving Emira next to her obviously often reads the "Huangming Daily". She introduced to Emira, "Princess, this is an important source of meat for Ming Dynasty in the future. Whales are full of treasures!"

At this moment, the dock workers began to disassemble the fin whale, and Emira couldn't help but turn pale.

A large piece of bright red whale meat was cut from the whale and placed directly on the chopping board.

"Everyone looked at it. This is whale meat. The meat is bright red and warm. It's very fresh."

"Everyone, look at the quality of the meat, look at the texture, it's the same as beef."

The stewards of the Royal Whaling Company cut a piece of whale meat from the top and distributed it to people around to watch. This is an advertisement for the whale meat!

"This meat is indeed very good, just like beef, and the key is that it doesn't have any fishy smell, which is very rare."
"This beef is a rarity. It seems that we can eat more whale meat in the future."

"How do you sell this whale meat? I'm going to buy some and go back and taste it."

In the port, everyone took turns passing a piece of fast whale meat, carefully looking at it, smelling it, and some even cut off a small piece and ate it raw. Naturally, some comments were indispensable.

The whale is huge!More than a dozen butchers were sweating profusely, and the people at the port were also very interesting to watch.

It took more than an hour for the meat, fish skin, etc. of this huge whale to be initially cut.

At this time, the huge fish skeleton that the whale first exposed made everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes again. It was really too big, and the butcher standing next to the whale skeleton seemed very small.

"Everyone, this whale turned out to be a male whale! Everyone, look at this whale guy, it's terrifying."

When the tail of the whale was dismembered, the butcher at the scene seemed to have discovered something, and quickly cut off the baby of the whale's reproductive offspring.

Bang!
Several strong men struggled to lift it onto the chopping board, and the surrounding crowd were stunned.

Naturally, such a huge baby has never been seen before, and some girls in the port who came to see the excitement blushed immediately.

They couldn't help covering their eyes with their hands, but out of curiosity, they peeked again from between their fingers.

Ming men are always more interested in all kinds of whips.

Many wealthy businessmen who passed by bid one after another, wanting to win this big guy!

"I'll offer 500 taels of silver, don't rob me!"

"Get out, I'll pay you 600 taels of silver!"

"You poor bastards, I will offer you 800 taels of silver!"

The steward of the whaling company was also dumbfounded when he heard the number rising slowly. He never imagined that the most valuable part of the whale was actually this part.

More male whales will be hunted in the future!
Soon, there was another ringing of neck bells, and mules and carriages that had been prepared for a long time came to pack the preliminarily dismembered whales.

They will send the meat, fat, and fur of the whale to the meat processing factory, oil refinery, and leather processing center in Chengtianfu respectively.

It is conceivable that in the future Ming Dynasty, the whaling industry will be prosperous.

When Emira first arrived in Daming, what she saw was such a scene full of market atmosphere.

Although it is not beautiful, and even reveals a trace of the blood of the ocean empire, it makes people feel full of vitality.

"It's a pity that the emperor didn't see such a big fish!" Emira regretted.

Zhu Kezang, whom Emira misses so much, is speaking for her!
When Zhu Kezang returned to the palace and explained the situation of Princess Emira of Aceh, although Concubine Chen was a little jealous, she still agreed more.

However, she is more generous as a queen.

Zhu Kezang is no longer the prince at that time. He is now the emperor, and he needs a few more concubines to support him.

It's best to get a few more concubines at once, so that it won't be so troublesome.

Before, she carefully selected several young and beautiful court ladies to serve Zhu Kezang, but Zhu Kezang was either too busy to touch the ground, or was fighting outside, and had never touched those beauties whom she had carefully selected. .

The only complaint is that Zhu Kezang went out and found a foreign concubine, and the empress Chen Concubine is more traditional.

"Your Majesty, I want to find a concubine. There are so many beauties in our palace!" Concubine Chen gave Zhu Kezang a resentful look, which made Zhu Kezang a little embarrassed.

Zhu Kezang could only explain to Concubine Chen that the sacrifices were made for Daming, and he didn't want to accept foreign concubines either!
Regarding these words, Concubine Chen gave him a blank look.

This is to fool her that she doesn't know the strength of the Ming army. With such strength, there is no need for marriage.

As a man, he always has a little hobby, and Concubine Chen doesn't bother to care about him.

It's just that that night, Concubine Chen wanted it even crazier!

With competition, Concubine Chen has to work harder to give birth to the crown prince sooner!
