The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 114: Entering the Inner Island

After half a day of busy work in the morning, the harvest time has arrived.Seeing everyone gathering on the beach of the base camp one after another from all around, the sailors who stayed behind at the base camp had already set up blazing firewood and large boiling water boilers.

There are many edible spices in the bushes, and this area is rich in seafood, but in order to remove the fishy smell, Abbas deliberately found pepper, cloves, and a few pieces of ripe cardamom pods that are abundant on the island from the grass

The tuna and skipjack just caught in the shallow water near the reef have a smell of the sea. Abbas squeezed the coconut juice picked by the fat man and used it to marinate the fish. The remaining shredded coconut can also be fried with kelp and sea cucumber. Fry out some hors d'oeuvres.

To say that there are so many fish species in the South Seas of this area, such as flying fish, sharks, and groupers, the Apis is just a merchant ship, not a fishing boat, otherwise sharks can also hunt, but it is too big Abi Silk's guys are not easy to hunt.

A sailor with experience in sea fishing found a sea urchin on the reef, and then used it as bait to catch a Qingyi cold snapper weighing seven to eight kilograms. The face looked very cute, while the body of the fish was light blue with a few faint blue scales.But it fell into the hands of the crew of the Apis, and no matter how beautiful the fish was, it had to enter its stomach.

Of course, other sailors were also lucky. One of them dived and climbed to the bottom of a coral reef holding his breath, and caught the king of the sea god, plum blossom ginseng, and a South Pearl clam. Inside the shell was a thumb-wide South Pearl, a round, pure white pearl. How do you look at it? I like it, the appearance is really good, especially for Pei Pei, a woman who is absolutely incomparably attractive, but it is really a small gain, and Pei Pei generously bought it with ten taels of gold ingots.

It was noon in a flash, and when everyone was eating vigorously around the big soup pot on the beach, a turtle weighing more than 100 kilograms slowly crawled by.

"Hey! Look, a beautiful big turtle!" The fat man looked at the turtle in amazement. He saw its amber back shell and beautiful cloud-like stripes radiating from the middle of the carapace to the four sides.

"No, this is a tortoiseshell that is similar to the common species of turtle! We have developed." Abbas waved his hand, and then everyone dropped their jobs, picked up the iron thing, and rushed towards the unlucky tortoiseshell.

The tortoiseshell has a fierce temperament. This is a middle-aged tortoise estimated to be 34 years old. The colorful patterns are very charming. The tortoiseshell shell is undoubtedly very valuable to the businessman Abbas. It is often bought by big businessmen in the Persian Gulf. Tortoiseshell shells are used for jewelry, statues, etc., which are the raw materials for some high-end works of art.

"Turn it over, don't let it escape into the sea!"

Abbas was very excited, his eyes were full of golden coins, and he kept muttering in his heart that he was developed. The tortoiseshell in front of him is an extremely rare species, and the tortoise shell on its top is a lump of "sea gold". Western Europeans Equal tortoiseshell shells to precious gems.

Well, the fate of this unlucky tortoiseshell was over, the shell was transported into the cabin for safekeeping, as for the meat. . .

"Well, the meat of this turtle is too chewy and fragrant, but its toughness is comparable to that of an old buffalo! It's hard to chew." The fat man directly baked the turtle meat on charcoal fire, added pepper, cumin and sea salt, and coated it with A layer of butter, the taste is awesome.

Next, Abbas had to consider the issue of food reserves on board.We collected a lot of sea cucumbers in the water, as well as crabs, oysters, clams,,, and the caught fish were slaughtered, cleaned and marinated, or baked, or hung on the deck mast rack to dry. Getting ready for the voyage down.

"Okay, now we're done resting on the beach, and now we're going to explore the island." Abbas and everyone announced the next action after a small meeting for half an hour.

Guo Nuan and the others attached great importance to the discovery of Sun En's treasure marking information in the misty sea area. Maybe this island is where the treasure is buried, but Pei Pei's purpose is to find Sun En's treasure, and Guo Nuan and Fatty The purpose of going to sea this time is to retrieve Ah Fu who was hijacked by that mysterious old man, if this island is where Sun En's treasure is located. . .

"Then, after the old man hijacks Ah Fu according to the instructions of the treasure hunt map... he will definitely land on this island."

Guo Nuan pondered, the only thing he can do now is to wait, either the old man has landed on this island before them, or they may arrive in the next few days.

"No matter how long it takes, one year, two years or ten years... Even if we search the entire South Seas, I, Guo Nuan, must find Ah Fu back, whether it's a person or a corpse!"

Guo Nuan clenched his fists secretly, and murmured words in his mouth. His goal these days seems to be getting closer, and the next step is to go to the mountains and forests on the island to find the destination. How can we not make him nervous.

"Old Guo, I, Zhang Dabiao, will definitely help you find Ah Fu."

The fat man chuckled honestly. Although he is usually careless, he is also rough and meticulous, and his thoughts are very meticulous. He quickly guessed the change in Guo Nuan's expression.

"Well, thank you Dabiao, my good brother!" The male magnetic voice revealed a touch of emotion. . .

"Haha, Ah Fu is also my buddy, thank you." With a hearty laugh, the fat man punched the handsome man in the arm.

. . . .

Leaving three sailors to guard the merchant ship Abis, an expedition team composed of fifteen members set off towards the inland of the vast island. As a five-day investigation, everyone prepared enough dry food, Of course there are some exploration tools and self-defense weapons.

"In addition to countless poisonous insects and venomous snakes in the tropical rainforest, there may also be dangerous animals such as Barry tigers and large lizards in the South Sea islands. You must not take it lightly."

"understand!"

After Abbas gave the last sentence to everyone before departure, he immediately set off with the expedition team.

The islands in the sea near the equator are covered with a variety of rich vegetation of tropical rainforests, and the varieties are all kinds of strange things that dazzle everyone.The thick and lush leaves covered the mottled sunlight beams cast by the sky. Everyone shuttled through the dense woods. There were many vines and shrubs along the way. As for the tall trees soaring into the sky, these became obstacles to the way forward. obstacle.

"Emperor Crow, a medicinal plant, can treat blood diseases."

In a hidden ancient vine on a cliff, a yellow flower the size of a washbasin blooms, which is extremely conspicuous. As a businessman and navigator who has been driving in the sea all year round, Abbas has extremely extensive knowledge of island geography. The surprised people introduced it.

"So what kind of peach is this? Can it be eaten?" Pei Pei saw a peach tree in the jungle, which looked like a green peach, and asked Abbas immediately.

"People in the Tang Dynasty used to call it Pipa, which is Wuya fruit. It tastes sweet and slightly sour. People in Tianzhu like to use its leaves as vegetables. Hehe, my friend from Tianzhu once gave me this dish, um, It's a bit unpalatable, but the pulp is good for cough medicine."

Thinking back to the dish of pipa tree leaves, he raised his eyebrows a little when he spoke. The pipa dish he made seemed to make Abbas, a Middle Easterner, feel that the taste was not very good.
