Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 615
"You just want to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Baozhu's voice.

Li Tai's departure made this innocent and carefree woman who was still laughing and joking all day even in her [-]s mature at night.

She was tall and tall, and although the sea breeze had blown her skin to black, it did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

She stepped forward step by step, followed by a group of guards, looking quite stable.

"Get out of the way..."

She said to everyone: "I don't know how long this blue whale has been dead. If it has been for a long time, the rotten things in the stomach will accumulate and ferment, but it will explode like a thunder..."

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly backed away, thinking to themselves: "As expected of the queen's younger sister, she has seen a lot..."

However, the local aborigines who were the first to discover the whale did not back away. Instead, they gesticulated and murmured.

Tudingya, who came with him, said: "My lord, they are saying that the big fish was alive when it came up, and died just now."

Li Yin nodded after hearing this, and looked at Baozhu, "Little Sisao, this whale once said by the elder sister-in-law that a body is a treasure, what should I do with it?"

Baozhu thought for a while and said: "Get the tool first, and make a hole for it, so as not to rot and pile up methane in the belly, it would be bad if it exploded."

"Little sister-in-law is right."

Li You thought for a while and said, "I'll make arrangements now, brother."

Soon a group of people got busy, and Baozhu pointed out, "Be careful, this whale is full of treasures. It is not easy to have a blue whale that has just died and stranded. We have to catch it by ourselves." , but it’s troublesome... and the eldest girl said that this whale has spirituality, so it’s better to hunt it less.”

"This whale is full of treasures..."

Li Yin's voice sounded, and when they looked back, they saw a few black lines on their foreheads.

The man's face was unreadable. He looked at the whale as if he had seen some rare treasure. His mouth was dripping, and his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes were shining. He urged the people beside him to say: "Didn't you find a lot of good-quality saltpeter? Come on, make ice! I heard my sister-in-law said that this thing needs to be cut up to dissipate heat, frozen, and then it tastes better than beef when eaten..."

Bao Zhu and Li You looked at each other and couldn't help covering their faces.

It's a shame that such a greedy person came out of the Tian family!
Whales are full of treasures, not to mention other things, just that super large body can provide a lot of meat.And whale oil can be used as a lubricant, but also as a soap, curing agent for cosmetics.Even the bones can be used as the skeleton of the sail, and they can even be ground up and used as fertilizer.

The people on the shore seemed to be celebrating a festival, and a group of Tang people and indigenous people were busy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.Even the local aborigines don't have the ability to hunt whales. They feel very happy to eat such a big fish.

However, dividing a whale is obviously a difficult task. According to what Feng Ruren said, a group of people made a hole in the whale's belly, first received the oil, and then felt a little worried.

How to divide such a large fish?

Fortunately, the accompanying chefs are very powerful, and they know the truth that there are more people and more power.So this group of people ordered a group of people to take all kinds of knives. After disinfection, they came to eat elephants with ants. After a busy day, they cut up the whales until dark.

According to Ru Ren's instructions, he didn't dare to waste anything, not even the internal organs.If there are not enough ice cubes, salt it. Anyway, they built a salt pond. How can people who live by the sea lack salt?This is their flagship product in the trade with the local aborigines.

Don't dare to delay, although it's a bit cold now, such a good thing, whether in the eyes of the Tang people or the natives, is like a godsend.A piece of whale meat was smeared with salt overnight, and then various racks were seen throughout the city, using the sea breeze and sunlight to dry it.

This thing is very nutritious, and the fat is thick. After drying, except for a little bit for the local aborigines, the rest will have to be shipped aboard in the future, as food for their next voyage.

Li Yin's mouth was full of greasy food, and he murmured: "Oh, this food tastes better than beef, especially when it's frozen and eaten again, it's really delicious!"

Li You shook his head helplessly, looking at the whale in front of him, he felt like crying.

Is he the only one who feels that the taste is not so good?How can it be as delicious as Li Yin described?As for eating raw...

just forget it!
My sister-in-law said back then that even in the wild, as long as you have the ability to eat cooked food, you can eat cooked food, and you must not eat it raw.Because most of these wild animals have unknown parasites and bacteria invisible to the naked eye, and some of them are deadly.

Even if the marine life is slightly better, it refers to deep-sea animals.But even then, every time you eat it, you have to add mustard (similar to mustard, in fact, mustard should be invented by the Chinese, and it was available in the Spring and Autumn Period), garlic, and drink some white wine if possible, so that it is safer.

Seeing how his younger brother was feasting, he couldn't help shivering, that red-haired man actually wanted to try this taste, and he really ate it, and he squeaked, as if saying it was delicious.Li Yin laughed out loud and gave another slice of it.

One person and one monkey ate like no one else, and Li Youzhen was worried that this guy would eventually be infected with some infectious insects because of his gluttony.

Call the guards, and ask the ship's doctor to prescribe some decoction for killing worms. Whether this guy is willing or not, he will be forced to drink a bowl later.

The fourth brother is gone, and he doesn't want to lose another brother.

Thinking about it this way, his eyes became a little dark again, and the scenes of fighting with each other in childhood emerged. He reached out and touched the whale bone on his neck. indivual.

In addition to my 37 brothers and sisters, there are also the younger sister-in-law, the older sister-in-law, and the older sister-in-law's children, my own children and Li Tai's children, and the rest are for Queen Wende and her father, and the remaining one to his own mother.

The common adventure at sea, sharing life and death, and the grief of losing a loved one made Li You grow up rapidly and realized the true meaning of loved ones.He asked people to make this rare whale bone into a pendant, hoping that one day he could return to the Central Plains and present these gifts with his own hands.

And at the grave of the fourth brother's clothes, he also dug a small hole, and buried a piece of whale meat together with the pendant.

When they were young, they chased the wind and caught fish together in Xiaoqingzhuang, and agreed to go out to sea to watch whales together.Now the whale is still there, but the fourth brother is gone...

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't eat anymore, and his eyes were slightly moist.I couldn't help sighing softly, and murmured: "It would be great if the fourth brother was still here..."

Although the voice was low, the people present could hear it clearly.

Li Yin, who was eating, gave a hand, and then cursed: "Why are you mentioning these things on such a good day? You don't have to spoil people's interest!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the chopsticks away, Hong Mao saw that something was wrong, and immediately jumped over, putting his arms around his neck, Li Yin walked out with Hong Mao in his arms.Not long after, the people in the room heard the suppressed crying of the King of Shu.

Li You lowered his head and murmured: "I never wanted to mention it, but seeing this whale reminded me of my fourth brother. He always wanted to see the biggest whale..."

"Ugh!"

Baozhu sighed, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said: "Li Min has such a temper, you should ignore him..."

After a pause, he said again: "Hurry up and eat. We still have a lot of things to do, time is running out, and there is no time here to mourn the spring and the autumn..."

"Little sister-in-law, you..."

Li You saw that Bao Zhu's eyes were a little red, but she was holding back, and murmured: "Sister-in-law, why bother?"

"Bitter? Who said I was suffering?"

Baozhu picked up the chopsticks again, and said: "Your fourth brother's unfinished ambition has not been fulfilled, why should I bother?"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head to eat and said no more.

Li You looked at the orb under the candlelight, feeling sour in his heart.But he couldn't help it, he couldn't even say words of comfort.

The fourth sister-in-law pretended to be strong because she was afraid of disturbing the atmosphere of the team and reducing morale, so she kept supporting herself.But her pain was obvious, and Li You, whom she knew little about since she was a child, had already discovered it. Since the fourth brother left, the fourth sister-in-law stopped laughing so much and became much quieter.In addition to being strong, there is also a hint of gloom in his temperament.

When she was young, she was the most lively, even when she grew up, she was always heartless...

The sound of distant waves came, and Li You clenched his fists involuntarily: This damn sea!I must conquer you and find America!

The fleet has been repaired in Qingque City until the spring of the second year before setting off again.

In the end, they decided to cross the Atlantic Ocean first, and after reaching South America, set up several bases, then go north along the coast to North America to establish related bases, then cross to Europe, and then go all the way south, pass the Cape of Good Hope, and return to Datang...

The days at sea were lonely and long. In the spring of the fifth year of Chengyuan, the fleet set off again, and only 400 people stayed in Qingque City to maintain the development of this new city and the spread of civilization.

On the day the fleet set off, there was no cloud in the sky, the sky was as blue as the sea, and the sea and the sky formed a line. Baozhu went to Li Tai’s tomb alone, put a bunch of flowers on it, cut her finger, and put it on the tombstone. After clicking a red dot, he left and returned to the boat.

The local indigenous leaders, large and small, all came to see them off.The Tang people brought them civilization and peace, and now that the Tang people are leaving, they will naturally come to see them off.There are also many warriors who bid farewell to their parents, wives and children, and set off with Tang Jun.

Aruba held Li You's hand and said, "Your Majesty, Aruba will wait for you to come back here, and go to Datang with you to meet His Majesty..."

Tu Xingya also took Li Yin's hand, and said: "Your Majesty, Tu Xingya is the eternally loyal servant of Datang, please don't forget us..."

Waving, farewell, anchoring, unfurling the sails, ceremonies and music sounded, the fleet slowly moved out of Qingque Harbor, people with different skin colors on the port waved their hands, Aruba danced with his tribe, the cheerful rhythm was Their prayers for this fleet.

In the spring of 654 A.D., the Datang Fleet sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, unfolding a page as magnificent and magnificent as an epic, and the real era of great navigation came here!
