Chapter 670 Chasing Japanese pirates at sea

Before lunch, the grilled fish fillets were cooked first, but they were a little burnt. The time was short because I was anxious to get the finished product.

There are steps for baking, low temperature, medium temperature and high temperature.It must be dehydrated and shaped first, and then post-processed.

The dried fruits that are patiently dried in Xiaqiu Village are delicious. They are not crumbly when eaten, are tough, and have well-controlled moisture content.

For example, jujubes. The jujubes dried in Xiaqiu Village taste sweet when eaten. If heated slowly, the degree of saccharification of the jujubes will be higher as the temperature changes. The jujubes will not taste crunchy. They can only be used to make porridge or snacks. If you eat it, you will get tired of it after a few mouthfuls.

The low-temperature dehydration time of the fish fillets is short. When it is cooked, the water vapor in the oven will be strong, and the fire will be higher, causing some places to burn.

But the taste is good, no cornstarch is added, and the flour accounts for the weight to deceive others. They are all eaten by themselves, so it is obviously pointless to deceive themselves.

“I didn’t expect that a fish whose skin is so thick that it can only be peeled and eaten can be made into fillets and look very valuable.”

Zhu Yuanzhang put his great grandson on his lap and fed him soft fish fillets torn with his hands. The little guy liked this food the most because it could grind his teeth!

A one-and-a-half-year-old baby is in the stage of acquiring and familiarizing himself with strength, and it hurts to be grasped by his little hands!Poor control of intensity.

When eating grilled fish fillet, I was overwhelmed by the taste and texture, so I kept salivating.

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully wiped his great grandson's saliva. If he wiped it too hard, his skin would become red and swollen. He said he was wiping it, but in fact he was just lightly dipping it.

He took the absorbent medical cotton, dipped it in it every now and then, and spoke to his great grandson: "How could your father be as wealthy as you when he was a child? There was no absorbent cotton at that time..."

The little guy could feel the emotions of the adults, and he suddenly became happy, drooling and slobbering on his grandfather's legs, his big eyes bright.

Lunch is steamed fish and stewed fish. The steamed fish is fresh and the meat is tender, while the stewed fish takes a long time and the meat becomes like garlic cloves.

"Your Majesty! The Japanese pirates' ship has been discovered. They have now seen our sails and are about to run away."

Someone came over to report that there was a lookout on the ship. They used binoculars to see the other side first. However, the ship here was bigger and the sails were up. When the Japanese pirates saw it, they immediately turned to run away.

"Catch up and bump into us. We will catch the ones alive today and take them back to mine. We are too lazy to kill them."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that there were Japanese pirates, he was very happy. He was not afraid that it was a trap or a fire attack?Or join the gang?
The fire attack cannot light the boat, but it is iron. A long iron pole can push the opponent's small fire boat far away.

As for jumping into gangs... who allows you to jump into gangs?You have to climb up. Our boat is high and we will shoot you from a distance.

The six wooden boats rowed hard, and the two steam-engined boats, one large and one small, began to accelerate, chasing the largest Japanese boat.

The big ship must be where the pirate leader is, just bite it.

Because it was an encounter, if it were to be a naval battle where both sides were well prepared, the opponent's leader might board the boat to confuse the enemy.

The steam-powered boats chased them, and they caught up within a quarter of an hour. There were seven boats in total, and they never dispersed because the direction of the wind and water flow affected them.

Japanese pirate ships also had sails, and they had to follow the wind to run fast.

When they saw the [-]-stone ship, the seven ships stopped on their own and surrendered, unable to escape or fight.

The flag carried on the key ship belonged to the Ming Dynasty Emperor. The Japanese pirates knew this flag and also knew the flag of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

Seven ships, with a total of 72 people, were taken to the adjoining navy ship and dispersed and detained.

Someone went over to the Japanese pirate ship to tie the rope, adjust the sail, and follow the team. Don't throw it away. You can still cook a few meals when you go back to make a fire!

"It's not good to have a big ship, it's better to be longer. Hurry up and find a ship as big as the Japanese pirates, one with a steam engine, and follow them back to their nest."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care that 72 people were arrested, he wanted to catch them all.

"Your Majesty, just interrogate them!" the chief reminded, they know it themselves. "He talks a lot, sometimes he talks nonsense, or he leads our ship to the reef. And if the Japanese pirates here can't pry open their mouths in time, the lair over there will be moved. They all agree on the time.

The wind and waves on the sea were unpredictable, and the fleet disappeared accidentally when it went out. How did the Yuan Dynasty fight before?Encountered strong winds again and again.

Hurry up and build steam-powered ships that can withstand strong winds. Yes, they call them kamikazes. "

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his hand and told the Japanese pirates about their cunning and treachery.

The people in the fleet were in a good mood. They actually caught a Japanese pirate once when they went out. The Japanese pirates were so frightened that they looked like quails.

Aren’t we just going to have a bigger boat?Isn’t it just faster?Isn’t it just that I don’t need to row the oars and lower the sail so that I can adjust my direction and chase you?Hahaha……

Lunch was postponed, and the team walked back. The grilled fish fillets were ready, and they were just in time to go back and teach the kitchen farmers in Lu Sichang.

Build them more equipment, they can make more money, and take back their grassland as national property. I believe they will not object.

In the evening, the team returned to the vicinity of Lusi Field, but they did not approach the dock because they were not allowed to dock unless the tonnage was large, but they were afraid that someone would raid through the dock after docking.

The small steam engine ship parked here started to move, and the vegetables and other things purchased earlier were transported onto the big ship.

72 captured Japanese pirates were taken away for interrogation separately, with ministers involved. Not all of them could speak Japanese, and not all of them could speak Ming dialect.

There is no shortage of ministers who are familiar with other people's languages. Like Zeng Lu, who has a photographic memory, he knows more than a dozen languages.

There is no shortage of translators for interrogation alone. In fact, Zhu Wentian can also speak Japanese dialect, the Japanese dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

When there are Japanese people around, he can listen to others speaking Japanese dialect and correct the vocabulary he has learned before.

……

"Kill a few of the pigs you raise, and drink wine while watching the moon at night." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to eat seafood anymore, because there was less oil and water.

He loved to eat meat, and fat meat was the most fragrant. He was afraid of hunger when he was a child, and his relatives died after falling ill due to malnutrition.

Historical data records that he liked to eat roast duck, because the duck was so fat that oil came out when he took a bite.

The people from Guanglu Temple discussed with people from Xiaqiu Village, what kind of food should be made by killing pigs and suitable for drinking?It feels worse than killing a sheep, but unfortunately we don’t raise sheep here.

"Stir-fried pork, shredded pork in sweet noodle sauce, braised pig ears, braised pork liver, braised pig blood, add more garlic, and the pork trotters too!
I can't eat sausage today. The braised pork ribs are not suitable for wine and food. I want to make Sixi meatballs.

Boil the lard, dry the lard residue a little, and sprinkle with salt. This is good with wine..."

The people in Xiaqiu Village thought hard and said that the food that goes with wine is different from the more normal dishes. It must be able to be eaten when it is cold and not full quickly.

Everyone is busy until night, but others still eat fish, especially the women in the harem, fish is so good!Children are not tired of eating fish.

The people in Xiaqiu Village stuffed the sausages, which were temporarily inedible and unsmoked, but the soup used to cook the meat was stuffy. This could be fried.

"To be honest, every move we make must have a lot of people busy, and it's difficult for Xiaqiu Village. There are a lot of dishes to go with the wine, and it's best to eat the backbone dipped in garlic sauce."

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his praise under the lamplight and moonlight when it was dark. Without Xiaqiu Village, he would not have made such a request. He knew that Guanglu Temple could not hold on.

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers responded tacitly.

"It's bright, and the moon is still full! Why don't you write a poem based on today's events, but it's a pity that Tai Pu is not here, writing a lot of poems!"

Zhu Yuanzhang captured the Japanese pirates today and is in a good mood. Let's write poems!
